The Reef Beach

After getting through a week of school lockdown, Yuka finally managed to raise her average score back to sixty. Despite scoring low again in the mecha practical class, Kenji, considering the goodwill from the cookie bear incident, didn't get angry with her or expose her feigned fall.

As soon as the lockdown was lifted, Yuka and her two friends burst out of the school gates, hopped onto a Lev, and headed straight to Central Square, aiming for the underground arena.

In the underground arena, Roukujou sat in the broadcast booth, addressing the audience, "Folks, Pinky hasn't shown up for almost two weeks now. Do you think she won't come anymore?"

The live comments were somewhat lackluster:

[Pinky didn't get into trouble, did she?]

[Don't say that. Don't jinx Pinky.]

[Maybe Pinky's just been busy lately?]

[Could Pinky be a student at UUA? I heard they were locked down recently, maybe that's why Pinky hasn't shown up?]
