It was the next day.
Shinobu was in her place, getting ready to visit Tengen. She really wanted to learn the actual truth about the situation.
She stepped out, the weather growing cold as she looked at a tiny snowflake float in the air. With a tense expression, she tried to find Tengen.
"Cold!"
Mitsuri was out on a walk as she exclaimed.
"What a weather!"
She mumbled as she walked quietly.
That's when she noticed Shinobu walking in the distance.
"Kocho-San!"
She waved at her joyfully, pleased to see her.
Shinobu stopped and turned around, noticing Mitsuri. She sighed and walked towards her, rubbing her hands together for warmth.
"H-Hello Kanroji-San..."
She said, her tone cold.
"Do... Do you need something?"
She asked bluntly, not in the mood for small talk.
Mitsuri's expression dropped a little, her excitement dampened by Shinobu's tone.
"Oh... no. I just wanted to say hello, Kocho-San... Look, it's snowing! Isn't it beautiful?"
She blushed a little, trying her best to get Shinobu to smile.
Shinobu's gaze flickered up to the falling snowflakes before returning to Mitsuri's face.
"Hmm... It sure is pretty..."
She smiled at Mitsuri's sweet and welcoming words.
Kyaaa!!! I got her to smile!
Mitsuri squealed internally.
"See? It's like a little miracle from the sky, just for us."
She sighed in contentment, her breath forming a tiny cloud of mist in the cold air.
"So... Where were you going? You looked a little... tensed...?"
Shinobu's smile faded as she looked away from Mitsuri, her expression turning back to its usual stern one.
"...I'm on my way to visit Uzui-San."
She said, not bothering to hide the fact.
"I need to talk to him about something important."
Mitsuri's eyes widened.
"Uzui-San? But he's on a mission, isn't he?"
She looked into Shinobu's eyes, her tone slightly curious.
Shinobu's eyes widened.
"Wh-What? On a mission?"
Mitsuri nodded, her face lighting up.
"Yes! He told me he had to leave for a while. He said he'd be back soon, though."
She tilted her head.
"You didn't know? Was it something important?"
Shinobu was surprised, but she tried to keep calm.
Wh-What am I supposed to do now!?
She wondered, extremely tensed.
Mitsuri's expression turned concerned as she noticed Shinobu's distress.
"Kocho-San? Is everything alright?"
She asked softly, placing a gentle hand on Shinobu's shoulder.
"You look so troubled..."
She mumbled, her voice filled with worry.
Shinobu sighed, her shoulders slumping in defeat.
"K-Kanroji-San... You know, Shinazugawa-San and Tomioka-San?" She trailed off, looking down at the ground.
"Well..."
Mitsuri's eyes narrowed slightly as she listened to Shinobu's words, her expression turning thoughtful.
