Letter of rindou

--(1)--

[Hero Club room]

Fuu: Hey, this is a pretty serious request, I'll be asking for silence.

Tam: Oh? What's that? You must be pretty out there to send a serious request to the Hero Club.

Wak: Listen seriously!

Hin: Our request consists of looking for a precious letter that disappeared somewhere in town.

Mas: Somewhere in town, you mean Sanshuu!? Isn't that a little too big of an area to cover?

Nat: Do you know where it was lost, or any hint at all?

Tou: We could barely manage to learn the date of the disappearance, and also the places the requester went to on that day.

Aka: I see. Then strength in numbers might do the trick. But what kind of letter is it?

Fuu: It's apparently a letter written for someone dear, but they've hesitated for years whether to deliver it or not.

Kar: Is that all? Then just write it again.

Hin: Well, it seems they don't have the address, and if they cannot find the letter, they will never be able to deliver it...

Its: They don't have their number or mail address or anything?

Fuu: Looks like it. Stuff happened, and it's someone who they thought about cutting all ties with once...

Tak: But if they changed their mind, then something pretty serious must have happened. This is... important.

Tou: Yes, for that reason, the requester has called the police, and started looking themselves, but to no avail...

Yuu: That's sad... If such a special letter disappeared, I think I would cry...

Gin: We have to find it by whatever means possible!

SON: Yeah. I feel like the words written on this letter are engraved with the depth of their feelings at that time...

Anz: I want to be of help.

Fuu: Alright, can I assume this request has been unanimously accepted?

Sek/Yos/Aka: Yes!

Wak: Now, as Akamine said, our strategy will be strength in numbers. Split into several teams and spare no effort to find it!

Uta/Nat/Ren: Ooh!

Sum: I will immediately be sending to your phones a map of the route the requester took!

Meb: Every squad leader will communicate the spots they have checked, let's use our time effectively!

Chi: So was this lost letter in an envelope? Postcard? Or in something like a pouch?

Hin: It is believed it was inside an envelope inside a regular plastic sleeve.

Sek: What does the envelope look like? Japanese-style? Western-style? If there's any colors or design, please tell us.

Tou: A Japanese-style envelope made out of washi paper, its front has a light drawing of a rindou flower.

Fuy: If we've already figured out that much, we're fully prepared and ready to go.

Yum: Fu fu fu, surprised are you? This is all in a day's work for the Hero Club.

Suz: But you haven't done anything.

Yum: ............Now~, everyone! Let us brace ourselves and begiiiiin!!

Mit: Fufu, it really is a serious request, but hearing Miroku-san makes me relax and cheers me up.

Ren: Hmph, this is the top-class motivation techniques passed down through generations of the Miroku family.

Shi: Then Kagajou can use it too...

Suz: No, Shizuku. Mine isn't motivation it's flattery... Wait, heeeeeey! (Note: Motivation and flattery sound alike)

Yuu/Tak/Fuy: Ahahaha!

[Cafe]

Fuu: I see... Thank you very much.

[Shopping district]

Its: There wasn't anything resembling it in the cafe... Sent.

Tou: If they forgot it somewhere, the cafe they stopped at seemed like a prime candidate, but this was a miss.

Son: Did they ride any train or bus~?

Its: Ah, yes. We called the company the requester used to be sure.

Its: But they didn't find any forgotten item corresponding to the description on this day...

SON: We checked the back alley over this way, but nothing on the ground~.

Gin: Eh, did we get any report of passing through this narrow alley...?

Yuu: No, but maybe a cat or something else carried it elsewhere?

Its: Wait, a cat taking a letter!? But if you start saying that, we're completely clueless.

Kar: Our search area is a little smaller than the entire city, but it's still like finding a needle in a haystack...

Kar: Come on, how can you lose something that important!

Tou: C-Complaining won't help.

Yuu: Maybe they only noticed it after it was gone...

Kar: Eh?

Yuu: Maybe they took having it for granted, but after losing it, only then did they realized it was important.

Yuu: I was like this too. I didn't realize how precious my regular uneventful life was before I became a Hero...

Yuu: I only realized it after crying a lot.

Gin/Son/Sum: ..................

Fuu/Its/Tou: ..................

Kar: Yuuna...

Yuu: Ah...... J-jjj-Just kidding!

Kar: You suck at this!

SON: It's like Yuuyu said. We understand the pain of loss and loneliness better than anyone else...

SON: And that's why this requester doesn't have anyone who can empathize with them as much as we do~.

Kar: Alright!!

Yuu: Karin-chan!? Why'd you slap yourself!?

Kar: To get myself back into it. To face the requester's feelings head on!

Fuu: Don't face them. You gotta empathize calmly and kindly.

Kar: S-Shut up! Anyway, let's begin the door-to-door operation!

Sum: Rotation strategy?

Sum: It makes it harder to understand when you say it in Japanese...

--(3)--

[Park]

Wak: I see... Understood. We are continuing the search.

Wak: It wasn't in the shopping district.

Tam: The park administration office didn't get anything either.

Uta: Nothing in the east side bathrooms.

Nat: Not in the west side either...

Hin: I checked under the gazebo's tables, but didn't find even a scrap of paper.

Chi: We looked through the trash cans, but it looked like it's already been collected...

Yuz: Eh, if the letter was in there, then isn't it already too late?

Anz: But if I remember correctly... I think I've seen an incinerator at the back of the park's office...

Wak: If the park handles the burnable trash itself, then there is a sliver a hope left. Let's go.

Yos: P-Please wait. Even as a request, the great Heroes rummaging through garbage is...!

Mas: M-Maybe you're right. Burnable trash is organic trash. It's not something to take lightly... you know?

Wak: Compared to the pain of failing to fulfill one's dream, dumpster diving is nothing.

Mas/Yos: Eh...?

Anz: The lifelong regret of not telling your feelings when you had the chance... Not much is more painful.

Tak: No one would consider a relationship with someone dear could end. It's the depths of despair. But...

Chi: If we at least got this letter back, they could move on... Whatever that means, it's surely better than stagnating.

Uta: If we could exchange this wonderful present against stinky garbage, then it's a reasonable trade♪

Yos: Great Heroes... No, the way you think is much too superior, you surpass even the gods of philanthropy.

Mas: Got that right... Alright, understood.

Mas: I'll be back soon with rubber gloves and deodorant spray!

Yos: And letting the great Heroes alone rummage through trash...? Your heart is what is infested with bugs, I see.

Mas: It's already rotting!? Waaaaah! I'll throw myself into the incinerator, sorryyyy!!

Mit: P-Please, calm down, jokes aside. This is something we have to do together, right?

Fuy: Alriiight! Let's get hyped up for this first ever dumpster diving for the ages!

Yuz: There's such a thing as too positive. Haa~... Well, you gotta do what you gonna do.

Tam: Yep, yep. Who knows, maybe someone threw away a roll of bills, finders keepers♪

Yuz: Ah, you're right, this isn't completely impossible. Where is the incinerator? We have to hurry!

Sek: That's what I'd call too positive, though...

Nat: These two have truly become more Hero-like. No... Yunna-like... maybe?

Hin: Ufufu, such a positive outlook will surely bring us good luck.

[Beach]

Kir: Word came up no team's found anythin' yet.

Ren: Is that so?

Kir: Hey, we ain't talkin' about nothin', but the requester took a seaside road, heh?

Kir: Meanin', it's pretty unlikely it fell on the beach, ya know?

Ren: But it is not zero.

Aka: Well, if we can't find it after looking this hard, then maybe there's a meaning to its disappearance?

Kir: Mmh? And what'd that be?

Aka: You know how they say if you find something, you lose something else... Maybe it's something like that?

Aka: Like there's only ever a limited amount you can have, or something? What I'm trying to say is that giving up may not be as bad as we think~.

Ren: Hmph, Miroku refuses to conform to this rule dictating as an evidence that gain is accompanied by loss.

Ren: For nothing can ever escape Miroku's grasp, even be it a grain of sand.

Aka: Idealistic theory can't do everything~, Renchi.

Kir: What a duo ya two make... Yer way of thinkin' are polar opposites.

Kir: (...And that's nothing new.)

Kir: (Akana looks hot-blooded, but she thinks in clear-cut boundaries, and Rokku looks calm, but she'll struggle until the bitter end.)

Kir: (What's my role between these two? Considerin' both here and in our world, what can I even do?)

Aka: Hey, Shizu-senpai! What're you spacing out for?

Kir: Ye're wrong there. I was thinkin' bout world peace.

Ren: It's hard to tell a fake Kansai thinker from a sleeping one. (Note: Spin on the phrase "It's hard to tell a poor thinker from a sleeping one")

Kir: Whaddya mean by that!?

Aka: We don't have time to waste thinking about things you can't change even if you do. The sun will set soon.

Ren: If you have time for tsukkomis, please use it to keep your eyes peeled and search.

Kir: Yeah, yeah, got it boss~.

Kir: (Well, not like I'd find it that easily anyway. What's been lost and my answer alike. I just...)

Kir: (Don't want to lose things I can't see without even realizing I had them...)

Kir: (That goes for them too, the only thing we want is to know what we've gained and what we've lost... Shinju-sama.)

[Park]

Meb: Sorry. We didn't find anything at the area the sentinels were in charge of...

Kar: Shh, Fuu got a call from the requester...

Fuu: Yes... Yes, right. But... Eh!? T-That's... Why that...!?

Yuu: W-What are they saying...

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/yuyuyu/images/7/7c/960440_1_%E7%AB%9C%E8%83%86%E3%81%AE%E6%89%8B%E7%B4%99.png

Fuu: They... found the letter. And called to say the person they wanted to give it to received it!

Gin: Eeh!? How did that happen!?

Aya: Perhaps a kind postman picked it up by chance and delivered it!

Sek: Eeh!? Does coincidence like that really happen~??? And wait, you'd call that kind~???

Fuu: Hey, they're saying that if we really want to know about the letter, they wouldn't mind telling us as thanks, what do we do?

Wak: Eh? Well... That's-

Tak: Let's not.

Ren: Indeed. We did not accept this request in the hopes of learning of its contents.

Fuu: Mh, got it.

Hin: I'm truly glad. Even if we did not get any answers, it is a very invigorating feeling.

Yuu: I empathize with your sadness...

Tou: Eh? What is it, Yuuna-chan?

Yuu: It's rindou in flower language. I believe that the world's total sadness decreased today...

Kir: Yeah. I sure hope so.
