"Hide and seek? That's it?"

Mana-chan laughed. "Oh, it's not your simple hide and seek. I will hide, you will seek. If midnight strikes and you haven't found me yet, it's your loss. If you do, I keep my word. Is that okay?" I agreed.


What can she do? I studied how to chase runaways after all.


She's no match for us


"Then let's start it. You-Shin. Count 1-10. Close your eyes!"

We did and Shin started counting. I heard shoes on the ground. This is too easy. Wait--


There are two running sounds. Who is Mana? Where has she gone?


"Ten."

I opened my eyes and saw Mana's shoes on the floor. I looked at Matsumoto-kun. "She's smart." He said and undoubtedly, she is. "Drai's probably the other one I heard." I said. She used Drai to sneak off.


She planned this from the start. 


"Let's scatter. Chances of finding her in Osaka are big if we separate." Matsumoto-kun said and I nodded. "I'm taking this side." He said so I went to the other side. From the park to the central station. 


This is harder than I had anticipated. I hope we do find you, Fukushi Mana.
