The end of day prompt appeared, and while not every last drop of XP had been spent with Yuyu and Miku, Aika saw no particular reason as of yet to do so...maybe when they got a little more, before they challenged the Red-Black Viper, but that was not going to be tomorrow...or at least, not tomorrow morning.  So she raised no objection when Joy chose for the day to end...they were sleeping, and the next thing the girls knew, they were on the veranda of their place at the Shrine, ready to take on Day 3, reminded that there were only 28 days left before the 'End of the World...'<br/><br/>As before, the city map appeared, with no status changes, and the reminder of<tt class="bbc_tt">MORNING</tt>, as well as their action options for the moment.  They could go and check out this secret Fang lair that Miku had mentioned; hitting it would probably give them some special bonus for taking away the Fang's stolen mystical treasures.  On the other hand, there was the matter of the Viper herself.  They knew precious little about her, though Miku being here might change that.<br/><br/>Joy voiced her opinion, and Aika weighed it.  Missing people.  That would have been something to look into, but Yuyu had been clear that they were not connected to the Azure Riders, and she didn't want to waste their time...on the other hand, it could be a sidequest with some serious benefits.  (Aika doubted the programmers would have just inserted anything into the game.)  But...there was to consider that maybe they weren't ready yet, that the missing people had some bigger, city-wide implication.<br/><br/>"I'll agree that we can look into it.  And if we come up with anything solid that we can chase further, then we'll do that.  But if we hit a dead end, then we should pass and see what we can do about the Fangs - whether learning about the Viper or attacking this secret base of theirs."
