(Michiru, why aren't you picking up the phone?)
Honoka was in the taxi racing towards the Mikados' resort, calling Michiru over and over again. She sent a few messages, but never got any replies.
She placed the phone by her ear, her gut almost ripped apart. Seated beside her was an uneasy looking Yū.
Koremitsu called regarding Michiru in the evening, and then, Yū anxiously called.
That was when Honoka learned of Shioriko being abducted.
That was the reason why Koremitsu stammered, asking if there was anything strange with Michiru.
Honoka gasped a few times as she heard Yū's words.
Koremitsu was saying that Michiru was with Shioriko. In that case, did it mean that Michiru abducted Shioriko?
She could not believe that the ever serious Michiru would ever do such a thing!
Koremitsu told Honoka to wait quietly, but the latter just could not do so. She decided to give chase after Koremitsu, and Yū too requested the same.
Honoka found it strange that she was working together with her love rival Yū. However, she was a lot more relieved that she was not going alone.
Honoka heard from Yū that Koremitsu went off to the Mikados' resort, so she gave a call to Tsuyako, but could not get through. Thus, she could only give calls to the students at school asking for the address.
They took the train to the location, and then got on the taxi they had arranged for beforehand.
The car was bumping about on this road that was not practically not paved at all. The windshield was dampened by the rain, and the front was completely dark.
Suddenly, she saw an orange light in the darkness.
(Michiru!)
Only a section of the riverbank was lit, and Michiru stood there, wearing her school uniform, showing a faint smile. On a closer look, Koremitsu too was holding a torchlight, standing in front of Michiru. The ruffled red hair was soaked by the rain, sticking onto his face.
Koremitsu shone the torchlight at Michiru, glaring at her. Two women in raincoats were standing behind him, seemingly leaning upon him.
Honoka then exclaimed to the driver,
"Please stop the car!"

"Where's Shiiko?"
Koremitsu scowled as he glared at Michiru, inquiring,
If it was the usual Michiru, she probably would be flustered and answering shrilly once Koremitsu glared at her. At this point however, she gave Koremitsu a bewitching smile,
"Watching home~"
She answered.
The only things shining on each other was merely the torchlight both parties have. In the glaring light was Michiru, soaked all over in her blazer, pleated skirt and knee socks, grinning away.
Before he came to this place, Koremitsu did receive the message from Asai, notifying him that they found Shioriko's whereabouts.
Shioriko probably would be saved by Asai and the others, unless Michiru had an accomplice. In any case, Koremitsu could not forgive her for involving the elementary school girl Shioriko.
And so, his voice got sterner as he asked,
"Why did you kidnap her?"
"Did I not say it already? To revive Lord Hikaru, of course."
