Chapter 6: Obscure Reality

MC: I’m sorry for having you come all the way back home. But there’s something I want the three of you to go out and check for me…

Kiss in the Dark: Ah, we don’t mind. We thought it was about time for you to ask us.

MC: Huh?

Manhattan: You want to ask us about Mimosa, right?

Blue Moon: I also promised that I would look for him. Gin Fizz and everyone are all probably worried about him too.

MC: I see… Just as I thought, everyone wants to know where he is

Manhattan: I’m sorry, but as of now, I unfortunately haven’t found any information

Blue Moon: Me neither. Forgive me

Kiss in the Dark: Hmm, it didn’t work out for you two as well…

MC: You mean you couldn’t find anything either, Kiss in the Dark?

Kiss in the Dark: Forgive me. I’m sorry I couldn’t find anything for you.

MC: Please don’t worry about it so much…! I was the one who asked a favor of you all when you were busy, so I’m just thankful you tried finding something.

Kiss in the Dark: Even though the three of us were put in charge of this, we haven’t had any luck finding evidence

Blue Moon: You said it. Maybe this has nothing to do with Mimosa, but there was something I just so happened to hear…
You guys remember the Yabai group? It looks like they had a huge conflict with one of their subgroups.

Manhattan: I can get into this. But does that fall in time with Mimosa’s disappearance?

Blue Moon: So it seems

Kiss in the Dark: Mimosa did have some dealings with the Yabai group, so maybe it would be wise for us to go to see them about any information they may have.

MC: You mean it’s possible Mimosa is still tied to them?

Kiss in the Dark: I can’t confirm that. I think we’d better mark all the places that link the two of them together.

MC: Okay. Can I leave all that to the three of you? Let me know once you come across any information, and I want you to let us know where we can help.

Manhattan: And you, don’t even think about pursuing them on your own.

MC: Yeah, I got it. Causing worry for everyone would be like taking a huge step backwards. If that’s all…. I believe in you guys. So that’s why I’m asking you to do this.

Kiss in the Dark: …Thank you. For relying on us.

Blue Moon: I know how you are, and I know you’re feeling some concern about Old Pal and all of them, but you don’t need to worry so much about them, you know? We’re all here to support you.

Manhattan: We all want you to keep on smiling.

MC: Thank you. (I’m so glad I have friends I can count on)

Manhattan: By. The. Way. It’s a change of subject, but I heard the good news! About the cocktail fair!

Kiss in the Dark: Oh, I don’t believe I heard all the details about that

MC: You all know about it?

Manhattan: Well, of course! With a topic as surprising as you appearing in the fair, it would be strange if word didn’t spread!

Blue Moon: Tom Collins also told us about your appearance.

MC: So that’s how. I thought he would have been stopped by Martini..

Blue Moon: Hohoho, instead he’s gladly pushing your forward, huh? When I look at how you’ve been recently, it seemed impossible that you would decide to not participate.

Kiss in the Dark: You’re going to produce an original cocktail? Are you already formulating a plan for what you’re going to use?

MC: No. I’ll start thinking about that from now. I plan on using the bar after hours to experiment.

Manhattan: Sounds so fun! When are you going to start?

MC: Tomorrow.

Kiss in the Dark: I’m not working tomorrow, so I can’t help you out but, if you need anything, feel free to talk to me. This is going to be your first cocktail creation… Hm, just thinking about it is making my heart race.

Manhattan: I’m also not working tomorrow… too bad. It may be difficult, but please do your best!

MC: I will. If I manage to make something, I want you three to taste it.

Blue Moon: Hohoho, I’m looking forward to it.

Manhattan: Ahh, it makes me so excited to hear that! I’ll taste test it. for. you.

Kiss in the Dark: Ahahaha, I’m also looking forward to trying it

MC: About the taste… please don’t be too hard on me.
