[Some kind of paper is covering up the video, and Ren removes it, revealing him and Shinji in an unfamiliar house. Oddly, they don't seem to notice the community window open in the glass in front of them--they're too focused on the paper, which Shinji takes out of Ren's hands.]

It looks like a picture Yui-chan drew as a child.

Oorai Coast?

[A Monster suddenly leaps out and throws them to the floor before vanishing into a mirror upstairs--seriously, guys, how did you not see that coming?]

[It takes a minute for them to get up, since they've been dressed like this the whole time.]

Looks like it's not just our Contract Monsters that are after us.

...Monsters with a weird idea of fashion?

[promisedknight]

[Ren is doing all he can not to kill you right now.]

[neverendingdebt]

Well...what else could it be? It can't be kids, can it?

[promisedknight]

[You guys are stuck in ridiculous costumes, there are Monsters attacking you, and you have to find Yui. Ren's not going to stop glaring.]

[neverendingdebt]

...We should get to Yui-san now, right?

[promisedknight]

I'll drive.

[of_many_treasures]

Nice outfits. [Oh yeah, there's a Kaitou in a dress.]

[promisedknight]

Of course it got posted.

It's kind of hard to sense anything from the mirrors. Kanzaki canceled all of our Contracts.

[of_many_treasures]

Someone has a chip on their shoulder because of that I think.

[promisedknight]

When I got Yui upset, she ran off, and no one's heard from her since. Kanzaki put everything on hold until we can find her.

[AKA it's all his fault for being an asshole, but seriously, Kanzaki's a dick.]

[of_many_treasures]

Hmm... you think Kanzaki worries about her more than anyone else?

[promisedknight]

She is his sister. But there might be more going on than that. Something about this whole situation doesn't feel right.

[of_many_treasures]

Something behind the lines then, between meanings... hmm... It seems like we're looking at a situation that potentially has spooked him.

[promisedknight]

Is that supposed to be a good or bad thing for us?

Anyway, we've at least got a hint where to go. It's a long shot, but if Yui painted this place, then it must mean something to her.

[of_many_treasures]

Possibly both, depending on how much Kanzaki reacts.

Hmm, then you should go there as soon as possible. Before things may get worse.

[promisedknight]

Assuming I can even get in the car.

[of_many_treasures]

Can you even get the costume off?

[promisedknight]

Not really. Barely enough room for me to move my arms.

[of_many_treasures]

You'll just have to live with it, I guess. There's nothing for it unless you get cut out of it.

[promisedknight]

If I get killed because of this, burn my body so I'll never be found in this.

[of_many_treasures]

Right, got it. I'll make sure to do that.
