> "Maybe this thief has a preference for what it steals or something. Maybe."
> "But really, it could be one or the other. Or both!"
> "Both could work better, right?"
> "Will you be tagging along, Byakuren?"
> "Three heads are better than two! Maybe you can notice clue we don't while we gather information!"> Tilt our head.> "Then again, if you are free and willing to do. It's okay if not. I wouldn't want to take your time either."
> "And that is very much appreciated!"> "And while searching for clues, we can also check for Tokiko... wherever she is at. You didn't got a glimpse of the direction she went to, Byakuren? If you saw, that is."
> "Maybe ask to the rest of the temple if they saw something?"
> "She is a friend! We got along pretty well, I think. She left to do some business if I recall correctly, and also to ask people around if they lost stuff too."
> "If we can find her, she might have already collected a bunch of information."
> "It's not really a loss! Finding her in general is also fine, I guess. For her sake to not be alone in case that other woman finds her."
> Blink.> "... That woman's name is Sapphire?"
> "... Oh, right, you mentioned it..."> Look worriedly.> "Well, I can't say for sure myself. But right now, I don't think she will find Tokiko to have some... tea with her or something like that."
> "She was at me, though..."
> "That's true... but Tokiko doesn't have Byakuren's protection with her, o-or well, help..."
> "Exactly! I must be cautious!"
>Have we ever seen her fight before?
