"I really couldn't tell you knew how to joke, hmph."
Ayako Miyadera unhappily let go of Shirou.
Shirou Amamiya, Ayako Miyadera, and Sakura Matou had asked the school for leave together today, and there was actually a reason for it—
Rin Tohsaka had not come to school for the past three days.
Not only that, it seemed that after having dinner with everyone at Shirou's place that night, she had never gone home again.
That school idol, perfectionist superhuman, and record-holder for never being late or absent at Homonculus, Rin Tohsaka, staying out all night and running away from home... No matter how one looked at it, it was impossible.
At this rate, I'm going to become a suspect in a criminal case.
Thinking this, Shirou decided to begin a search.
"What do you mean, a suspect? Can't you just honestly say you're worried about Tohsaka's safety?"
Ayako Miyadera frowned and complained.
As Rin Tohsaka's closest friend... and possibly her only friend, she had already spent three days searching Miyama Town after school.
Unfortunately, she still had not found anything.
Ayako Miyadera decided to expand the search to Shinto, but if she only searched after school, there was not enough time.
Thus, the three of them had asked the school for leave together and formed a search party like this.
"Sorry, Sakura... I've taken up your time."
"It's no trouble. I'm worried about Tohsaka-senpai too."
Sakura Matou spoke with a gloomy expression and a tired look on her face.
Like Ayako Miyadera, she had spent three consecutive days searching for Rin Tohsaka.
"What did the Tohsaka Family say?"
Sakura Matou shook her head. "Mother... Aunt Tohsaka said that senpai still hasn't come back."
"This feels really bad. Could Tohsaka really have run into some kind of trouble..." Ayako Miyadera murmured.
