Chapter 2: Sagamicizm of the Colorful Bow

At the time Takanashi’s phone call came in, I was making my way through town, idly considering stopping by my usual arcade.

I’d blocked out the entire afternoon for unveiling the deepest mysteries of the female body, and with that option having been tragically and abruptly swept off the table, I’d more or less ended up with nothing to do. As such, following my meetup with Saitou and my chat with Akutagawa, I’d ended up wandering my way into town with no particular objective in mind—and that’s when Takanashi made contact. I picked up her call and quickly learned that not only was she out and about as well, she was actually surprisingly nearby. I suggested that we may as well chat in person, so we made the arrangements to do just that.

“A hot oolong tea for me, thank you. What will you have, Sagami?”

“Oh, I’m good. I’m stuffed to bursting right now, thanks.”

“I believe it would be rather gauche for two people to claim seats in a restaurant like this with only one of them bothering to place an order.”

“Hmm. Well, why not embrace the gauche for once? They say that customers are the gods of the restaurant, after all.”

“That expression is only valid when invoked by a business’s staff. It’s not a customer’s place to use it.”

Our little debate carried on for some time, and in the end, Takanashi simply ordered two drinks unilaterally, telling me she’d have both of them. She was the sort of person who just wouldn’t compromise when it came to manners and etiquette, apparently.

Anyway, that’s how I ended up going to a chain restaurant for the second time that day. Not just any chain restaurant either—it was the exact same one that Saitou had called me over to. That particular branch had a seat way in the back that was nicely separated from all the other tables, which made it the perfect venue for surreptitious conversation. The drawback, of course, was that the place’s staff were probably starting to think that I was a scummy player who’d scheduled meetups with one girl after another on the same day, but I decided to just turn a blind eye to that possibility. They weren’t entirely wrong, after all.

“So, Sagami,” Takanashi said after her oolong tea and cup of coffee arrived. “You know where Andou is at the moment?”

“Hmm,” I grunted indistinctly as I prepared to twist the truth. “Why? Did something happen?”

“No... I don’t believe this has reached the level of an incident just yet,” Takanashi replied vaguely. Her words carried a distinct lack of confidence. “He just vanished abruptly, without any sort of contact or warning. I’ve tried calling him several times, but I’ve never gotten through to him. The rest of the literary club, Kudou, and I are all searching for him at the moment...”

Sounds like Andou’s kidnapping was a bit sloppy then. He hadn’t been carefully and cleanly sealed away in a closed space when no one was watching.
