Here goes, the next chapter is up and ready. Gonna flip between Sabrina and Priscilla's groups, I probably should mention that there are heavy spoilers ahead, mostly for Osvald's story and Hikari's chapter 2.

Priscilla spent the next couple of minutes asking around about Hikari and Agnea's whereabouts, keeping what Scarlet had said to her out of her mind. Temenos privately looked over his notes again while the Prosecutor gathered information.
He'd taken the liberty of taking notes on Scarlet's connections to Red and the Crimson Sun in order to help Priscilla in response to how she had assisted on his investigation regarding the murders that transpired at Canalbrine.
'Though my own investigation has nothing to do with bringing the Crimson Sun to justice, I'm rather curious as to who Scarlet's employer is and exactly what they're trying to accomplish. This could be a clue to dragging the identity of the syndicate's leader out into the open.' He thought. Sabrina, Osvald and Partitio had not yet returned from the library, but the Cleric believed they can handle themselves.
Priscilla was speaking with one of the older villagers"So this underground arena is where some wealthy people bet on the challengers who compete in the matches as Gladiators, correct?"
"Quite so" The man replied"Your friends may, at the least be competing in the Gladiator matches, already if they are not merely watching."
"Where can I find it?" Priscilla asked, the sooner she can catch up to Scarlet, the better.
The man gave her directions"Its down a nearby set of stairs, you can't miss the cave-like opening which leads to the underground arena. Might not be your kind of place, mind, given how tough the competitions get and depending on how much money you'd be willing to wager."
Priscilla nodded"Thank you." She then headed back over to Temenos"Well, I know where to go next. Do you suppose Hikari and Agnea have found Kazan, yet?"
"I haven't seen them anywhere else in town, yet, so possibly they are at the arena" The Cleric replied.
Priscilla nodded and headed towards the arena.

Sabrina had reached the library and came across a hidden passageway, which was still visible"How curious." Figuring that Osvald and Partitio must have come across the passage, themselves, she headed into the passage.
The Scholar and the Merchant were cautiously heading down the tunnel when they encountered a couple of deformed monsters. Osvald conservatively used his weaker fireballs to weaken the creatures while Partitio struck at the monsters with his spear.
"These sure aren't normal monsters" Partitio commented as he barely finished off one of the deformed creatures.
"Possibly Harvey's handiwork" Osvald grunted as he drove back two more monsters with Icewind.
Sabtina caught up to the two men and used Tonitrus Conare to zap the remaining monsters with her magic, obliterating the creatures.
Partitio turned"Perfect timing, thanks for the assist."
"You're quite welcome" Sabrina replied"So, where does this passageway lead to?"
"Harvey's laboratory is close by" Osvald replied.
