"Excuse me for the late call...

I'm Kimiyoshi—is this the head of the household?

......Yes!

No, not at all. Thank you very much for that.

Yes.

.........Well, you see.

...I do apologize for calling at this hour,

but I was wondering if our old man was visiting you at the moment.

......You've got that right!

Yes!

Once again,

I'm very sorry for calling so late.

Goodbye."

Click.

"So?

No good?"

"I'm not sure what to do...

He may be passionate about it, but he always at least gives us a call!"

"You called everyone he plays Go with, didn't you?"

Briiiiiing...!!

"Hello!

This is Kimiyoshi."

"This is Sonozaki.

How did it go?

Have you found the mayor?"

"Oh, Mion-chan.

...I called everyone I could think of, but I came up with nothing.

We can't find him...

What do I do...?!

Where could he be idling about...?"

"I put a word in with a bunch of people who might have had an idea...

but nobody did."

"............"

"I asked Nana about it, and she said we should get the men of the village together to search for him."

"A-At this hour...?

I mean, it's not like he's definitely gone missing..."

"Watanagashi just happened.

She thinks we should be a little more cautious.

If we still can't find him, then we'll notify the police tomorrow morning.

Whether or not we find him, though, we should refrain from making any false accusations."

"...Oryou-san said that?"

"Yes.

If you can't trust her without hearing her voice, then I can put her on for you."

"N-No, that's fine...!

I understand.

We'll get the men together and search.

If we still can't find him... then we will notify the police in the morning."

"She'll leave it to you to organize the men.

I'll be there as well, as Nana's representative."

"Th-Thank you.

I'll get everyone together immediately..."

"Thanks.

I'll talk to you later."
