After an hour or two of searching the town, Sora and the others figured that there wasn't anything that could indicate that Elsa's anywhere nearby.

Rem, Ram, Meili, and Louis Arneb turned towards the Keyblade Master to see what he's thinking.

Sora did notice this though he was more focused on trying to use his connection with Elsa to see if he can locate where she could be at.

He closed his eyes and held his free right hand close to his chest as he was attempting to use his connection with the Bowel Hunter to try and locate her...though what worried him was that this time he didn't feel anything.

This made his concern show out, which caught the attention of the others.

"D-Did something bad happen to onee-chan?"

"..." Sora remained silent for a moment while looking at Meili, knowing that she's extremely worried for the Bowel Hunter, especially with the way he reacted. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you. I had hoped that Elsa was in town, but I was wrong. She's still far away."

"How far are we talking?" Ram questioned. Sora looked at her for a second before turning towards the sky.

"It's still far away, but the connections there..." Sora wasn't lying when saying this as he was able to just pick up something though very vague. It's something that was indeed concerning for both the Keyblade Master Sora and the Mabeast Tamer Meili Portroute. Ram closed her eyes as she began to say:

"We shouldn't concern ourselves. If there's a connection, then she's still alive."

"...You don't know what kind of suffering onee-chan could be suffering through..."

"She's tough. She'll pull through." Rem said, attempting to reassure Meili. This did work but only for a brief moment since she knows that it's only a matter of time before 'mother' breaks her. Sora looked around for a moment before noticing what seemed to be a food place.

"Let's go get some food."

Meili was a bit excited when hearing this since she's gotten tired of eating the same rations for the past few days. Louis Arneb was excited when hearing this, having been curious what kind of food does Gusteko have in comparison to Lugnica and Vollachia. Rem and Ram were a bit uncertain about this since they don't want people to recognize Sora since by now he should be known by all four kingdoms, especially after the events in the Vollachia Empire.

"Do we have a way for paying the food?"

Ram pulled out some paper while responding to Meili's question:

"Roswaal-sama handed me this in case we wanted to grab food."

Roswaal had the foresight to hand Gusteko currency to Ram, more in the case if they somehow split up and needed something without him. Ram was aware of this though having a chance to eat and rest, even if brief might help all of them be ready for a fight. Sora nodded before leading the group into the small restaurant near them, right behind them was a Ryuzu Meyer looking person with white hair rather than the usual pink hair following along with her party.

"Are we going to eat?"

"Also why are we here again?"

"..." The Ryuzu lookalike remained silent for a moment before turning towards the restaurant Sora and his group had gone towards. "Someone I know decided to head here. I must know why."

"We shouldn't be here..." The one with preacher attire spoke as she was worried that people will recognize her, especially those in the Gustekan Church.
