"What's up? Were you up all night or something?" I asked.

"Yeah... Lately, it seems like no matter how much I sleep, I always feel tired. I catch a few winks whenever I have free time."

"I don't get it."

"Yeah. I know that what I'm saying is contradictory. But I never feel refreshed, so I have to sleep...zzzzzzzzz." Before he could finish, he fell back asleep.

"That sounds serious."

I heard a knock on the door, so I turned my head and saw our teacher Mr Souichirou Kuzuki.

"Is Ryudou here?" He said.

Then he stared at me, which was strange.

"Hello, Mr Kuzuki." Issei got up and adjusted his glasses.

"It's about the student from archery club this morning."

"Oh."

"Apparently, she didn't return home, either."

"What about Matou, then?"

"He was absent. But at this point, we don't know if it's connected to the string of incidents in town. We're telling everyone that both students are homesick, so don't tell anyone."

"Yes, sir."

"That's all. Sorry I interrupted your nap." He left after reminding us.

"What's he talking about? What happened with the archery club?" I asked.

"Right, you wouldn't know. This concerns you, more or less, so I'll fill you in. Archery club captain Ayako Mitsuzuri has been missing since yesterday. A student came forward who said that he saw her talking with Shinji Matou last night."

- RITSUKA POV -

I was on the rooftop eating my lunch which is Soba buns. While chewing, I stared down the campus in silence. I slurped my orange juice and finished my food.

'Haaah... I can't take it anymore!' I sighed in irritation.

"What are you doing in here? You are supposed to be with your Master. Why are you here? Archer." I asked and turned around.

The Red Archer appeared at my sight, leaning against the rails with his arms crossed over his chest. He looked at me with his signature smug face.

"Hou? How did you know I was here?" He asked.

"Answer my question first."

"Okay, I just want to have a chat."

"Oh, why?"

"Answer my question before I tell you."

"Well, I can sense your heavy gaze on me," I answered and crossed my arms as well. "Now shoot."
