192 188 Delays due to crossing each other lead to various flows. (1/2)

I know I shouldn't act haphazardly, but in a situation where I have no choice but to groping, I have to just randomly search for any place I can think of.

If I could use magic or foul tricks such as cracking into security cameras, I wouldn't have to run around out of breath like this.

But the magic that's been around lately can't be used for secrecy and magic here, and I don't have the cartoonish ability to crack it.

Therefore, back to my roots.

I just kept on searching the streets around Amelia's apartment, sometimes visiting people on the street and starting up again.

And then.

There's no way.

You struck out, too, didn't you?

”Oh.

Just a few minutes ago, I received a call from the police that Amelia's mother had arrived at her apartment, so Kitamiya and I met up with her and were heading to her residence, the apartment.

I'm not working out so hard that I would get tired after just a few minutes of running around, so Kitamiya and I are naturally running to our destination, ignoring the glances of passersby who are looking back at us to see what's going on.

Since we were just exploring our surroundings, we can easily arrive at our destination if we head straight for it.

Ah.

”Are you Miyakawa's mother?

Yes, yes, this is Mie, Amelia's mother.

And there was a woman talking to a policeman near the police car that stopped in front of the apartment.

A woman in her forties with black hair tied around her neck, wearing a black women's suit, probably because she came directly from work, with a normal Japanese face.

You can check out the woman who looks like Amelia in some places, and she is her mother.

Maybe the police had explained the situation to her, or maybe she was restless, but she was barely able to keep her composure.

Did you hear what happened?

Yes. So, my daughter,

”Unfortunately, I've been talking to passersby with me and her, but there's no sign of it.

”Yeah, I see.

You can't blame them for their obvious disappointment.

It would be rare to be able to remain calm in a situation where your daughter is missing.

......

”......

I can't say a word to her like that.

I can say ”It's tough,” but I don't think it's right to make her worry about me by saying things that don't make her feel better.

You naturally fall silent and wonder what to do next, and then your phone rings.

Excuse me.

The caller is Kaido, and I thought it was business, so I picked up the phone to tell him to call me back later.

Hello Kaido, now.

”Senior!　Where are you now?

”?　It's near Amelia's house.

But it couldn't be Kaido in a hurry, letting some noisy sound from behind.

A murmur, an angry voice.

Where the hell is Kaido when you hear some kind of voice giving instructions?

It seems that Amelia, who has an amazing aura, came to the office and just went through the gate and shifted!　Now the company is in an uproar. What's going on?　I heard from my seniors that Amelia is missing!

”Huh?　What?

Kaido dropped a bombshell that would erase all such doubts.

Sensing the change in tone of voice, Amelia's mother, Mie-san, looks at you, but takes a little distance to say rude and not let you listen to her.

”What happened?

I don't know the details, but the lobby has become a mess, with nearby goblins and demons being transported to the infirmary, I'm sure there was a battle.

”A fight, with whom?

”So, I don't know. I heard that Amelia had gone on a rampage just a few minutes ago, so I called her up in a hurry.

”The damage?　And Suela and her friends.

”Fortunately, the damage was only in the passage from the lobby to the transition gate. Suela and the others were in the other part of the building, so they'll be okay. Kaylie, who was here a while ago, told me.

”Well, ...... is the supervisor there?

”I'm not here.

Since it was an internal event, you check on the safety of Suela and the others, and are relieved to hear back that they are okay.

From there, you switch your thinking and begin to sort out the situation.

It's good to know that Amelia has been found, but why is she running amok in the company?

I have no idea what to make of it.

I have questions about why, but there is limited information available to me here.

The situation has moved.

If it did, then I need to act accordingly.

I'm coming back now. Give me a few more minutes to listen to you.

”Yes, sir.

After hanging up the phone call and realizing that something was wrong, Kitamiya came by me.

”What happened?

”Trouble in the company. We're going back for a while.

”Come back, Amy!

The words ”what to do” did not follow.

As I tried to move, Kitamiya tried to stop me, but she quickly tapped the upper part of my right eye with her finger. From a distance it looks like I'm scratching there, but this is a sign used in dungeons, such as when I find an enemy.

Kitamiya stopped speaking when she saw that.

”I understand.

I'm sure Kitamiya, who honestly agreed, would like me to explain, but I can't do it here.

We need to move to the car or at least to a place where no one is listening.

Then let's go, we're running out of time.

The police's explanation afterwards will make me look like a cold-hearted person who has abandoned his colleagues and put the company's work ahead of his own.

At any rate.

I'm sorry. I think there's been a problem at the office, so we'll be going on our way.

There is no doubt that what you are saying is true, but the two people who were desperately looking for you a moment ago are about to leave with a single phone call, and the policeman can't help but look at me suspiciously.

I can't blame them, but this is a bit of a response.

I'd like to tell you that Amelia has been found, but after what Kaido said, it seems that our side of the story is involved.

I can't talk about it badly.

The resulting look from the police officer is heartless.

”As far as we're concerned, it's not a problem, but...

From his voice, it sounds as if he is telling you not to leave so easily.
