[i][u]Spring Zone - Kaori's House[/u][/i] Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDXsEX0N2y4]桜の咲くように[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/d4dDlxG.png[/img] Tiane: Wait...we seriously fell on the ground? What the hell? [img]https://i.imgur.com/qaTF5N1.png[/img] Ted: I heard from my family that it's possible for one's conciousness to leave the body after a near death experience... [img]https://i.imgur.com/5J5JUXm.png[/img] Tiane: Don't even joke about that...I didn't turn into a freakin' ghost! [img]https://i.imgur.com/BnNz4r0.png[/img] Ted: I'm sorry...I just suddenly remembered that for some reason...but maybe the experience is similar somehow? [img]https://i.imgur.com/All66TF.png[/img] Tiane: No, it's not! Anyway, would be nice if time was stopped instead and we were teleported back here after we finished talking with the lady...But no! This had to happen... [img]https://i.imgur.com/9R3SCqU.png[/img] Andorina: What are you all talking about? [img]https://i.imgur.com/oAYAwoh.png[/img] Tiane: It's...kind of an absurd tale...right Rayla? [img]https://i.imgur.com/JM2geNk.png[/img] Rayla: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/All66TF.png[/img] Tiane: Rayla? Hey! (Is she....shaking?) [img]https://i.imgur.com/GQGga6O.png[/img] Kaori: MISS RAYLA! YOU'RE NOT ON WATER ANYMORE! [img]https://i.imgur.com/kHfou2d.png[/img] Rayla: Wah! [img]https://i.imgur.com/I4rYgQb.png[/img] Kaori: I noticed some fear in your voice when you said "Do I have so swim in this?" [img]https://i.imgur.com/3tmTLtb.png[/img] Rayla: Well... [img]https://i.imgur.com/rl62MkX.png[/img] Ted: Oh that? Rayla doesn't know how to swim. [img]https://i.imgur.com/RjIjnxq.png[/img] Tiane: Wait really? That's news for me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/VXwyd1A.png[/img] Ted: I found out about it during last year's school trip to the beach park near the aquarium. Some of our classmates invited her but she said that she couldn't. [img]https://i.imgur.com/9isX3qL.png[/img] Ted: For the record, I can't swin either, which is why I usually bring some floaters with me. I've been making an effort to learn. (Since I have some free time now that I'm not perfecting my magic.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/Xq3sPpG.png[/img] Andorina: Hmmm.... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Lct36sL.png[/img] Kaori: That won't answer her questions. [img]https://i.imgur.com/RIUlhvI.png[/img] Ted: Right...we'll get to that... [img]https://i.imgur.com/sbuQd0U.png[/img] Tiane: (Well...I better go to an isolated place if I want to speak with Azura again...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/MH0vdVk.png[/img] Rayla: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/nDBoJDa.png[/img] Tiane: Water must be really terrifying for you. Was it some past trauma or simply fear of the unknown? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ECHrcFf.png[/img] Rayla: The latter...I just never have been to a beach or a pool before...Nor I felt the need to learn how to swim. [img]https://i.imgur.com/8sZQX0B.png[/img] Tiane: I see...Well, if you want any lessons, feel free to give me a call before you fall into a river or something. You really need to get this problem checked it out. [img]https://i.imgur.com/P0tA7zi.png[/img] Rayla: Right... (She jokes about the river, but she has a point...) [i][u]Spring Zone - Hiagor's Office[/u][/i] **[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mqJFRMaayo]Ringtone[/url]** [img]https://i.imgur.com/Xa0QsoN.png[/img] Hiagor: WARGH!!! He fell on the ground due to the sudden sound of his cellphone. He quickly got up and answered it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/VmQNUOd.png[/img] Hiagor: (Why did I agree to put this outrageous ringtone on my phone again?) This is Hiagor speaking! What shady mystery do I have to solve for you? Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO140Mo4NTg]Main Lobby[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/NcL4zy2.gif[/img] Nancy: You seem in a hurry Mister Hiagor. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rkbH2xT.png[/img] Hiagor: Whoa! Sorry...Didn't knew it was you on the line Miss Nancy...My bad. [img]https://i.imgur.com/SoKTmfY.gif[/img] Nancy: Did something happen? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ulre3gW.png[/img] Hiagor: Nothing that may worry you. [img]https://i.imgur.com/dbe502p.gif[/img] Nancy: I see...So, We've finally got permission to investigate that school on Winter District. [img]https://i.imgur.com/bsGkpoz.png[/img] Hiagor: Wait, are you serious? [img]https://i.imgur.com/2hmIC9p.gif[/img] Nancy: I would also like for you to help them out. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ikCPFeW.png[/img] Hiagor: Why? What I said is just baseless conjecture...Don't you think it's too early to make assumptions? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Zo3Ussn.gif[/img] Nancy: That's what I told "that" person...but he insisted that we should do this as soon as possible. [img]https://i.imgur.com/t7Aekjz.png[/img] Hiagor: Hm? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Qui9b0M.gif[/img] Nancy: Ah yes...you haven't met him yet...well, when you manage to bring Rayla here, then you'll know. [img]https://i.imgur.com/GidrM1l.png[/img] Hiagor: (Oh yeah, I still have to get to that. Judging by what I saw in that other dimension...Rayla is at Kaori's house at the moment...But since the police doesn't like me, they'll surely block my way...thinking that I may try to ask Kaori questions about her kidnapping.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/NcL4zy2.gif[/img] Nancy: Either way, You have until tomorrow to come here, or I'll send someone else to that school. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HZpTKhO.png[/img] Hiagor: Right...Have a nice day. **phone call ends** [img]https://i.imgur.com/DGyJGiV.png[/img] Hiagor: It seems that Nancy's friend is the paranoid type...Isn't this how the mysterious organization acted towards Kaori? This is either a coincidence...or... (I better think about it when I meet this person...right now, I'll head towards Kaori's Home and wait for her friend's visit to be over. I'm also finding it weird that the police agreeded to help us out all of a sudden. It's just a guess after all...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/0kF5TlB.png[/img] Hiagor: (Wait...Is this why Nancy called me for all along? When she meant help...she actually meant...Heh...So that's your plan huh? To lure out a possible attack of the mysterious group...quite a sneaky move on your part Miss Nancy.)
