Rikka's POV

I couldn't believe my eyes... Aguri-Chan... left..!

Mana was still crying. Except much more than when Regina left us

"Mana-Chan... it's going to be okay.." reassured Alice.

"I-I-I can't b-believe it.. Aguri-Chan..." Mana said, half-sobbing

"I cant believe it either.." said Makoto putting a finger on her chin

"What's wrong Makoto-san?" asked Alice.

"It's seems... weird.." said Makoto.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I... Well... it doesn't seem like Aguri-Chan would say that.." concluded Makoto.

"Hm.. I must agree.." said Alice.

I sat beside Mana and comforted her, Ira still on my mind, while Alice and Makoto tried to figure out things

I wanted to be by Ira's side, but I was afraid that my friends would turn out to side with Aguri... but I couldn't hold back any longer.

Mana beat me to it.

"R-Rikka..?" She said.

"Mana?"

"Rikka... go to him.." said Mana.

My eyes widened. Did Mana actually-

"I agree.." said Makoto.

Makoto too? What going on???

"Rikka-Chan... we can see it in your face that your worried about him..." said Alice," and to be honest... I'm a little worried too"

"We all are.." said Mana.

"You guys.." I said.

"Rikka... you like him.. don't you?" asked Makoto.

I blushed

"W-What..?" I said, surprised

"You must tend his wounds Rikka, you did it once before... you can do it again" said Alice.

"..But-

"No objections... we understand" said Makoto.

"But what about Aguri-Chan..?"

"We will get to the bottom of it as soon as we get home, until then, help Ira regain his health" said Mana, as she rose up and wiped her tears.

"Are you...sure..?"

"Rikka, trust us! We are with you all the way! No matter who you are or who you like!" said Makoto.

My friends.... they understand... I'm so glad!

"Thank you.. and please.... please get to the bottom of this!" I said, as I ran towards Ira's direction.

When I reached him I noticed that Ira was still unconscious.

I heard him groaning a bit as I bent down to check his pulse. Thankfully, he was alive.

I helped him up and let him rest on my shoulder. Then, we headed towards my house.

Mamon's POV

I noticed that Ira was taking a while to come back from his battle with the Precures. I started to wonder if he didn't make it back.

I told Bel and he told me to look for him

I thought of Ira and teleported to the first place I thought of, as Bel instructed. And then I appeared on some next open street

No sign of him... what trouble did the kid get himself into??
