Without exchanging words, Akihiko activated his wind affinity, creating a gust of air that enveloped the two of them, lifting them off the ground. They soared through the night sky, heading towards the residence of the Takahashi family.
As Akihiko and Emi stood in the grand entrance of the Takahashi residence, the morning sun casting long shadows across the opulent surroundings, the attentive servants hurriedly approached.
"Master Akihiko, Miss Emi, what brings you here?" inquired the head butler, bowing respectfully.
Akihiko exchanged a brief glance with Emi before addressing the servants. "Have you seen Ichiro recently? We need to speak with him urgently."
The servants exchanged puzzled glances among themselves before one of them spoke up. "It's been several days since we last saw Master Ichiro. He hasn't been around lately. Perhaps you could inquire with the young mistress."
