Setsuna's phone rang. He took it out and answered.
"Setsuna Fujioka speaking." He said in english.
"Setsu, it's me." Came the voice of Ryoma from the other line.
"Ryoma." Setsuna said. Ichidou, Ren and Natsu quickly surrounded him.
"Where are they?" Ren asked.
"I'll text you an address and you guys can come pick us up. Don't worry, Ryouko is alright." Ryoma said as he overheard Ren's anxious voice.
Gaito sighed in relief.
"Okay, I got it. We'll come there in a cab. Just wait for us." Setsuna said and hung up.
"Thank goodness." Natsu said with a sigh.
"I'll go catch a taxi." Ichidou said and went.

Ryoma placed the receiver of the payphone back in its position.l "I told them where we are. Let's just stay here and wait quietly." He told Ryouko.
"That's no fun. Since we're already here, why don't we look around?" She said.
"We can't. What if they don't find us? Let's not move until they come." Ryoma answered.
"Tcch. For the several years that I haven't seen you, you sure turned into a stiff killjoy. We used to sneak out a lot to play and hide from my bodyguards." She said matter-of-factly as she heaved herself up to sit on a low stonewall.
"I didn't become a stiff killjoy. We just can't fool around right now. I can't risk myself from being murdered by your cousins if I lost you." He answered.
"There you are again with the murdering comment... You're always exaggerating." She replied.
"I'm not. I'll really get into trouble if I lost you or something happens to you so let's just sit here and wait." He said as he bent down to tie the laces of his sneakers tighter.
"Well anyway, if they murder you then I'll murder them. I made it clear to my cousins not to touch you or I'll bare my fangs at them." Ryouko said.
Ryoma stopped midway in tying his shoelaces. Now that he thought of it, since they were young, Ryouko had always sided with him whenever he got into a fight with one of her cousins.
"You'll really take my side if I get into trouble with your cousins?" Ryoma asked her.
"It depends on the situation... Of course if it's you who did something bad then I'll punish you myself." Ryouko answered.
Ryoma rolled his eyes and made a face. Maybe it's just his misunderstanding...
All of a sudden, a group of high-schoolers arrived and made it their business to make fun of Ryoma and Ryouko.
"Oya, oya... Look what we have here." A guy with ear piercing and a bandanna greeted them.
"You look like elementary students... You shouldn't skip class to go out on a date you know." Another one with a shaved head said.
"Such bad kids you are..." The last one with long hair tied in a ponytail commented with a mocking grin.
"Why on earth does these types of people not run out?" Ryouko commented.
"I know, right... There's so many and you always seem to run into one in every country. It's like an epidemic." Ryoma replied.
"Then they should be quarantined. But I find it funny that they always travel around in threes." Ryouko said.
