Shibuya - Clue Sniffing...

[Ninetalesuk]

"Gaomon, Realize..."

With Yoshino, the small DATS team will be searching for clues on the tournament and three missing children...

Near Kizuna's home, where they were before heading to school, Thomas brings out his faithful partner.



"Sir, yes, sir."



He sighed, pocketing his Digivice iC away.

[YolkaEd]

"Lalamon, Realize."



With her own partner realized, the floral Digimon floated around Yoshino as she pocketed the Digivice.



"Alright; let's begin."

[Ninetalesuk]

"Agreed..." He said, glancing around. "OK... We're near Kizuna Shinkai's home and I've got the location of where their school is..."

[YolkaEd]

"Then all that remains is for us to locate where they ventured to get to school, and we should be able to spot where they went missing."



"But aren't there multiple paths to that school?" Lalamon assumed.

[Ninetalesuk]

"There are... but, this could be an easy remedy to solve..."



"How so, sir?"



"OK... Imagine you're part of a group of friends and you left school... would you take long, time consuming route or a short route that allows you to arrive at school earlier?"

[YolkaEd]

"The short one, if we're running late." Yoshi noted.



"But again, there could be many shorter routes to the school." Lalamon pointed out.

[Ninetalesuk]

"Again, an easy remedy to solve..." He said, bringing out his computer. "Allow me to show you..."



"Sir."



"Now... according to the mother of Kizuna Shinkai, Kizuna would usually leave her home 15 minutes before school with her friends... thus, taking a sort of longer route where they arrive at school with 3-4 minutes left..." He said. "Today, however... was different. She joined her friends 10 minutes before school starts."



"Why?"



"If I guess right from what I've heard, I'm afraid Kizuna is one of the victims..."

[YolkaEd]

"...you're afraid she's one of the victims?" Lalamon blinked. "What do you mean?"



"...he means that tournament." Yoshi noted.



"...oh... right." Lalamon nodded. "...well, we can't stand around; if they're missing, who knows what could have happened? They could've been kidnapped by the people hosting the tournament, for all we know!"



"Let's not jump to conclusions..." Yoshi remarked, as she folded her arms with a nod to Thomas. "We could split up and search the most logical routes they could have taken. If any of us find anything, we should contact each other about it."

[Ninetalesuk]

"Right..." He said, turning the computer around. "This is where we are... and where the school is..."

[YolkaEd]

"...well, there are a few paths running from here to there..." Lalamon hummed.



"...but looking at the map... only a few of those paths would give them about ten minutes to get to school. Like that one... that one... and that one." Yoshi hummed, before giving Thomas a nod. "...I think we got what we need. Let's search for clues."

[Ninetalesuk]

"Three routes, huh...?"



"OK... If we cannot find anything on the routes we took... we'll try the last one..."

[YolkaEd]

"Right. Good luck!" With that, Yoshi and Lalamon hurried down one path.

[Ninetalesuk]

He nodded as he and Gaomon went down another...



"Let's hope we'll find something..." He said.



"Same here..."

[AnT]

(I dunno if you were waiting for a hint.)

They would pass by a computer store, where their Digivices would set off.

[Ninetalesuk]

"Hmm...?"



"What is it, sir?"



He walked over to the computer store, taking out his Digivice. "...how very odd..."
