[The episode starts where Sensei and Azusa begin their search for the missing Hifumi. They end up reaching the outskirts of the Trinity shopping district, the last known location where Hifumi disappeared off to.]

Azusa: Hifumi's last sent message originated here a few hours ago

Azusa: Hifumi's last sent message originated here a few hours ago. She communicated that she was busy running errands for a friend, however, I do not know the context behind this "friend" of hers. I have known Hifumi throughout our time last year. Her movements, responses, like and dislikes are all clear to me. We even created a secret Momo handshake for every upcoming Momo Friends concert performance.


Sensei:

- "You two never separated from anything huh?"


Azusa: Exactly. I've known her throughout my time in Trinity, so there are no secrets between us. What is concerning is her absence from school and minimal contact with everyone from Trinity. I'm even more surprised she hasn't informed you about anything.


Sensei:

- "I did try contacting her, but it went straight to voicemail."


Azusa: Perhaps we can find clues of her movements and this "friend" located in the Black Market. What I could decipher from her messages is that her "friend" has been making her do several tasks in return for a reward. I believe this unknown person is taking advantage of Hifumi's kindness.


Sensei:

- "You've been really focused on expressing "friend" a lot."

- "Sounds like you're a bit jealous of them."


Azusa: (serious expression) Yes, I am. I refuse to think someone else could befriend Hifumi this far. If they are tricking her or forcing her unfairly, I won't forgive them.


Sensei:

- "R-Right..."

Sensei:

- "Why don't we start looking around?"

- "Do you know where to start looking?"


Azusa: Of course, I have a map of all possible locations that sell Momo Friend merchandise. We can begin there. This way.



[Azusa takes the lead as Sensei starts following her. Moments later, they arrive at a café and stop to take a break.]

Azusa: ...This is the third location. It's possible we were too late and missed her.
