"So, the only thing left is to find the other dolls," I muttered to myself, looking up at the sky as I left Kakizaki Kei's house.
"It's still early, I'll just stroll over there—according to the map uploaded by the Special Envoy stationed here, it doesn't seem to take long to walk to Sakurada Jun's place."
Although no one had explicitly said anything, some sort of understanding known as 'tacit agreement' seemed to have already been established between Mercury Lamp and me.
She certainly had a lot to catch up on with Kakizaki Kei, and after a long absence, it was natural for them to find it hard to part. However, that wasn't the main reason she stayed behind. After all, we had all the time in the world. Kakizaki Kei, who had already recovered, and Mercury Lamp, who could travel anywhere using her Little Princess identity at any time, didn't find it difficult to meet. What heart-to-heart conversations couldn't be saved for later?
