The next day, Misae was surprised that the number of students had reduced significantly. Nearly half of the students were absent.
"They are really lazy to not come to school," Misae remarked.
"They didn't come because of the attack yesterday," Kanae explained. "Some of their parents must be afraid."
Misae nodded her head. She recalled the scene yesterday and turned her head towards her best friend. "By the way, do you have any guess why they attacked the school? They're not searching for money, right?"
Kanae nodded her head. There was no way those gangsters would try to search for money in school, especially in a not-so-expensive school like this. She did have a guess, but she couldn't say that in front of Misae.
Her gaze swept the class and stopped on the door. "Have you seen Alice today?"
Misae was startled. She knew what Kanae meant from that. She hurriedly stood up. "I'll try to search for her. You just wait here."
