Editing Mahou Sensou:Volume 2 Chapter 4 (section)

===Part 2===
A week had passed. And during that lapse of time, nothing interesting happened. However, when the exam was very close and the students were training even harder, Mui disappeared from the academy.

It all started when Kurumi, worried that Mui did not arrive at the dormitory even though the deadline had arrived, called the dormitory manager. She contacted the academy authorities and throughout the night, the teachers searched everywhere for her without success. The next morning, Kurumi told Takeshi what had happened. Then he left to talk to Hitouji-sensei.

Most students tended to stay in the dormitories, and the only ones who didn't, were the ones who went straight home. However, Takeshi knew that with Mui, that was not the case.  She had told him before that her parents had passed away and since she had no home to go to, she had been living in the dormitories of the academy for a long time.

-Something is wrong..." Takeshi muttered.

After returning from the teacher's room.  Kurumi and Ida had sat next to him in the classroom.

-What do you mean by that?" Kurumi asked with a frown. She had had enough of hearing about Mui.

-I think the reason why Mui is not at the academy," Takeshi mentioned. It's because he ran away again to look for his brother.

Ida, who was looking intently at a supermarket pamphlet, replied:

-Even if you know that, you have no idea where he actually went?

He didn't seem really interested in the matter, since what occupied his mind at that very moment was the type of food that would be in his next day's bento.

-That's right, Takeshi," Kurumi supported. We can't run off looking for her. Chances are that girl has returned home to her parents in the living world, right?

Takeshi shook his head and answered:

-Mui has no family other than her older brother.

-Huh?

-What are you saying?

Kurumi and Ida were surprised to hear such a statement.

-Just as you hear it. -Takeshi clarified. That's why Mui is trying so desperately to get his brother back.

-So that's the way things are..." said Ida with a serious and thoughtful face.

-But even so," Kurumi hurried when she saw that the two of them sympathized with Mui. We can't do anything about it. I'm just starting to get used to basic magic and as for Ida-kun, he's still exploding.

When Ida heard that she mentioned controlling her magic affinity, she replied:

-Hey, hey... you can't say that, Isoshima... I've gone a week without breaking anything.

-That's not true. -She refuted. Then she looked at Takeshi. Listen, Takeshi. The teachers are the ones who should be in charge of looking for Aiba-san, not us.

—…

Even if that was true, Takehsi couldn't help but be worried about Mui for, not being at the academy, she had most likely gone on the Trailers' trail again.

The last time Mui ran away to go in search of her older brother Tsuganashi, she was severely scolded by the headmistress and as punishment, she was demoted from the special class and assigned to the C class.  Since then, she had been living quietly as an ordinary student.

At that time, the headmistress told Mui to leave the Tsuganashi matter in the hands of Wizard Breath, but to date, they had done practically nothing. It was no wonder Mui lost her patience. Takeshi was fully aware of the matter and knew that his concern for Mui, was not in vain

"Mui and I, we are so much alike," Takeshi thought.

Mui was trying to get his brother Tsuganashi back, while Takeshi, had run away from his younger brother Gekkou, who now hated him. They were different things that's for sure, but they had in common the bad sibling relationship.

"I would do anything to make Gekkou forgive me."

Since that fateful day when the accident happened, Takeshi remained in his brother's shadow, taking all his anger and spite with resignation. But he felt so fed up, the urge to run away was not lacking.

"Mui is trying to get her brother back no matter how many times he rejects her."

The persistence she had, made Takeshi still felt hopeful of regaining his relationship with Gekkou. He still hoped that someday, they could go back to the way they were before, see him face to face and practice kendo together again.

-Maybe in his room there is some clue about Mui's whereabouts. -Takeshi mentioned.

As he had been silent for a while, they thought he had already given up with the intention of going to look for her. But, they were surprised to see that he insisted again.

-Wait, Takehi, are you serious? -Kurumi whispered.

Kurumi's astonishment, quickly turned to frustration. But Takeshi obviously couldn't leave Mui alone and said:

-Please Isoshima... take a look in Mui's desk, maybe there is something that will give us a clue.

-I'm not going to do that...

-Please Isoshima! -Takeshi insisted, putting his hands together in supplication.

-Takeshi...

-You know well that I can't enter the Maple dormitory.

The "Maple" dormitory was the girls' dormitory at the magical academy. The boys' dormitory was known as the "Ivy" dormitory and was on the other side of the school building from the girls' dormitory. As expected, it was strictly forbidden for boys to enter the girls' dormitory and vice versa. If a boy was discovered in the girls' dormitory, he might even be expelled from the academy.

Kurumi slapped the desk hard and stood up abruptly.

-I said I won't do it! -She flatly refused again, "I don't want to sneak off to go rummaging through someone else's things.

To tell the truth, Takeshi didn't like the idea of doing that either, but without any clues, he wouldn't be able to look for Mui.

-Please, Isoshima. I'm asking you from the bottom of my heart. If you do it, I will do whatever you ask me to do.

Kurumi stared at Takeshi for a while and replied:

-I may not find anything, but I will do what you ask.

Although a little reluctant, Kurumi finally accepted the request, so Takeshi smiled.

-Never mind, you do it anyway.

Kurumi let out a heavy sigh and mumbled:

-Well, what's the use...
