"Came back late?" Thousand Feathers raised an eyebrow. "How late?"

"It's later than you and me," the expression on Gray Hara's face made it clear how late this was for a small child. "And it was weird for her to have a routine the other day."

At this moment, voices that did not belong to the two of them sounded.

"That ......" Mitsuhiko's expression was quite subtle - he wasn't actually found by Gray Plains, but just happened to run into him. You two...... Where did you go yesterday? Is it late when you come back? ”

"It's just an analogy," Gray Plains said lightly. "You just need to understand that Ayumi came back very late yesterday."

"Uh......" Mitsuhiko nodded a little stunned. Good...... All right. ”

"So, you suspect she went out to see someone?" Qian Yu tilted his head. "Or did you say what you did out there?"

"It's all possible," Gray Yuan nodded. "When I asked her, her answer was quite perfunctory, so I knew there must be something wrong with that answer, and she used such perfunctory reasons just to hide her real purpose."

"Reasonable inference," Chiba nodded. "And then, we're going to find her?"

"Okay," Gray Plains nodded. "If I go now, I can do that, but I prefer to look for her at night, so there's a better chance of finding her while she's doing something."

"Are you sure she'll be back that late today?" Chiba suggested a very troublesome possibility. "Don't forget that it's about to be the time when Sumeklevi can be observed, and if she is busy until that late, it may affect the next astronomical observations."

"So what you mean?" Gray Yuan Wai probably guessed his thoughts.

"yes," Chiba nodded. "Let's go see now, if she's going to do something that has nothing to do with stargazing, she can obviously do it now, so if she's going to do something, she's probably doing it right now - it's certainly not a bad thing to try to find her."

"Well, can I find it with you?" Mitsuhiko hesitated. "I also want to know what Ayumi is doing.

"Huh?" Gray Yuan Ai glanced at Mitsuhiko with a slightly subtle expression, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked. "Well, you're supposed to do the good too, right?"

"Yes!"

……

Twenty minutes later.

"How's the test going over there?" Chiba asked Gray Plains - but he basically already knew the answer. "Didn't find it?"

"Obviously," Gray Yuan sighed. "After all, if Ayumi is really in the TV area I searched, there is no need for her to not tell me where she went last night!"

"For the same reason, I didn't find it either," Chiba shrugged. "She's not in the library either."

"So, there's probably no result on Tsuburaya's side, right?" Gray Plains nodded. "After all, if Ayumi is in the recreation room, there is no reason not to tell us - and I'm afraid it's hard to find any fun in the recreation room alone......" She suddenly showed a hesitant expression when she said this.

"What's wrong?" Chiba sensed her strangeness and asked.

"It's nothing," Gray Yuan Wai shook his head with an expression of disrelief. "Wait for the results of Tsuburaya-san, maybe she's really over there?"

Obviously, when Mitsuhiko returned, his expression and subsequent words told Chiba and Ash Hara that Ayumi was not in the recreation room.

"And where the hell is she?" Qian Yu pondered with some difficulty. "She wouldn't be hiding anything from you if she was here, but where else would she be if she wasn't here???"

"Maybe there's anything else she's interested in?" Gray Yuan Ai also frowned. "First of all, the power zone is excluded...... It was a place full of engines and stuff, and even if she was really interested, I doubt she would really be able to learn anything in that place. ”

"It's impossible for the Astronomical Zone," Qian Yu shook his head as well. "At this point in time, it's unlikely that she'd be in the astronomical zone right now, even if she was really looking at the stars at night. (Author: Daytime is really not a good time)"

"But it's still possible, so let Tsuburaya-san take a look later?" Gray Yuan thought for a moment and looked at Mitsuhiko.

"Wrap it up on me!" Mitsuhiko nodded.

Gray Yuan Wai didn't say anything, just looked at Qianyu's obviously reserved expression.

When Mitsuhiko left, Chiba spoke.

"I suddenly have two thoughts," Chiba looked into Gray Hara's eyes. "How about following me to find out?"

"Whatever you want," Gray Plains nodded. "I actually probably have an idea, but I don't know if the two of us have the same thinking results."

"Then let's go and have a look first," Qian Yu nodded. "The probability of both may be about the same, just pick one and go first."

……

Kitchen.

Why would you guess that Ayumi is in the kitchen, the reason is actually very simple.

For a very simple girl, there are only a few places to go - if it is not those areas that are more attractive to children, then it must be right to go to places that are attractive to the identity of girls.

Sure enough, here, they saw Ayumi.

"That's right, that's it~" In the kitchen, there seems to be a young woman who resembles a maître d'hom who is wearing a chef's uniform that still doesn't fit even after being folded a few times, smiling and encouraging. At this time, Ayumi barely reacted to this, just stepped on the stool intently, looking at the mechanical turntable in front of her—and the cake on the mechanical turntable that was gradually forming under her craft.

"Sure enough," Qian Yu said lightly. "You've come here to learn how to cook?"

"But that's probably not what she's studying at night," Gray Yuan nodded and shook his head again. "After all, there is no one to guide her at night."

"Perhaps," Chiba shrugged noncommittally. "Although there may not be so many staff on duty here at night, there is also not so much work pressure, so it is still possible that there are still idle employees who have time to spend with her."

With that, the two of them, after obtaining permission from one of the staff members, also entered the kitchen and walked in the direction of Ayumi.

At this moment, Ayumi seemed to have finished shaping the cake, had stopped the turntable, and picked up a packet of rock candy from the side and began to unpack it.

"Huh?" Just as Ayumi was about to put a chunk of rock candy on top of the cake as a garnish, the foreman who was watching her made a somewhat stunned sound. "Wait a minute, little girl."

At this moment, the brows of Gray Yuan Ai and Chiba, who had already walked to Ayumi and the foreman, also frowned.

This bag of rock candy...... There seems to be a problem???
