Today was rehearsal day.
As usual,
everyone had gathered at the office.
π
π©· Aine
"Huh?"
π
"What's wrong?"
I asked.
π
π©· Aine
"Have you seen Rei?"
π
I looked around.
π
She wasn't there.
π
π§ Rei was missing.
π
𧑠Hinata
"She disappeared again!?"
π
π©΅ Ruka
"She was here a minute ago."
π
π Shizuku
"Ufufu.
That sounds like Rei."
π
And so,
the search for Rei began.
π
First,
we checked the lounge.
π
Not there.
π
Next,
the studio.
π
Not there.
π
Then,
the rooftop.
π
Still not there.
π
𧑠Hinata
"A ninja!?"
π
π©΅ Ruka
"There are no ninjas
in an idol group."
π
π
π
Ten minutes later...
π
π©· Aine
"Should we call her?"
π
I wasn't sure she'd answer,
but it was worth trying.
π
Calling...
π
No answer.
π
𧑠Hinata
"She vanished completely!"
π
Thenβ
π
π Shizuku
"Oh?"
π
Shizuku seemed to notice something.
π
π Shizuku
"I think I found her."
π
We followed her gaze.
π
At the very back of the office.
Behind the DJ booth.
π
π§ Rei
"......"
π
There she was.
Headphones on.
Music software open.
Completely focused.
π
π©· Aine
"Rei!"
π
π§ Rei
"Hm?"
π
π©· Aine
"We found you!"
π
π§ Rei
"Did something happen?"
π
π
π
Everyone
"Rehearsal."
π
π§ Rei
"...Ah."
π
Apparently,
she had come up with a new musical phrase
and completely lost track of time.
π
𧑠Hinata
"Rei found!!!"
π
π©΅ Ruka
"She's such a free spirit."
π
π Shizuku
"Ufufu."
π
π©· Aine
"Next time,
tell us before you disappear."
π
π§ Rei
"I'll try."
π
Will she actually do that?
π
Probably not.
