I'm back now!

Hey again.

Welcome back.

Did Rin come back yet?

Rin? I haven't seen her.

Oh, okay. I wonder where she went.

I think Rinko's taking the game really seriously.

You can't find her?

No. After we played tag, we decided to play a serious game of hide-and-seek.

What's a “serious” game of hide-and-seek?

A no-mercy, full-on one. We're high schoolers, not kids, so we need to ramp it up!

I see. That does sound serious.

I was it, by the way.

*Giggle*

What's so funny?

I was just remembering how Kasumi popped her head out from behind a bush. Ahaha! It was so funny. I wish you guys could've seen it.

Chikaaa! Forget about what I did! We're talking about Rinko here, you know?!

Oh, right. We can't find her anywhere.

We thought she might've come back here, but I guess not.

Have you tried calling her?

Ah, I didn't think of that! Good thinking, Rubyko! I'll call her right now!

Aw, geez! Why didn't she take her phone with her?!

Hmm, what should we do?

I'll go look for her, then.

Me too.

I'll come with you.

You should stay here, Karin. You get lost easily, so we'd feel better if you stayed put.

I don't— Actually, I guess I do…

Don't worry, Karin. Leave the searching to us.

Okay, I'll leave you to it then. Good luck.

We'll be back soon. Let's go, Ruby.

Okay! We'll do our Rubesty!
