Chapter 45

Night fell. Soyo Nagasaki sat alone in the empty villa, leaning against the soft sofa as her bass let out a muffled hum. Solitude was not always a bad thing; being alone allowed her brilliant mind to think with even greater agility. She had heard from Anon Chihaya that the adult named Miki Kashiwagi was actually planning to form a band and had already scouted out a guitarist. Sakiko... Sakiko at least did not despise her anymore. No matter what, this was a good start. She had to race against time, before they actually established the band... At the very least, she had to plant Taki inside it. Hmm, Anon mentioned that Miki Kashiwagi had been sick lately. She should go visit Mr. Kashiwagi tomorrow. Just then, the phone rang. Putting down the bass and picking up the receiver, she saw it was Taki calling. "Soyo, Tomori is missing!" ... "Huh? Tomori is missing?" Receiving Soyo's call, Anon exclaimed in astonishment upon hearing the news.
