They're not here either. I thought we would be able to corner them, but they are nowhere to be seen.

We've pretty much searched the entire school now. Maybe Rin already found them.

Umi! Emma!

Rin! Welcome back.

How did it go? Did you catch them?

Sorry. They split up halfway through, so I immediately went after Chika, but…she escaped.

I see.

They could have already left the school grounds by now.

If that's the case then we'll never be able to find them. It's not really possible to search the whole town.

No, I believe the two of them are still nearby. We will definitely catch them.

But how?

Rin, do you remember how the two of them seemed when they split up? Anything strange?

Strange? Umm, I don't remember anything unusual. Ruby looked a little unsteady while running, I guess.

Hmm. Rin, I know you have only just returned, but will you go with Emma to look for Ruby one more time?

You want me to go, too?

Yes. I believe Ruby must be exhausted after running around an unfamiliar school without pacing herself.

If that is the case, I believe that she may be hiding somewhere until she can catch her breath.

Gotcha. It would have been better to go after Ruby, then.

I'm sure Ruby doesn't want to run around like this. If you find her, please see if you can convince her to return to the clubroom.

Okay. But does this mean you'll be looking for Chika by yourself? If she was able to outrun Rin, she must not be very tired.

It's all right. I have an idea.

[Fade in/out.]

We're back!

We found Ruby.

Eeek!

Welcome back, you three.

W-Welcome baaack.

Chika! You really did manage to find her by yourself. That's amazing, Umi. How did you do it?

I didn't do anything special. I simply waited in the clubroom for her.

Here?

If pushing doesn't work, then pull. If chasing someone doesn't work, then just wait for them!
