The TSAB Enforcer, Chrono Harlaown… It has been a bit over 2 months since Coco had decided to give a formal welcome to the alien official as the reigning princess of the South Pacific.
Chrono had been more than accepting of the hospitality at her palace and even shared his plight with her, both in the sense of telling her what he had gone through and both of them having friends and loved ones to recover.
She had seen the pictures the boy had shared in public places like the school’s billboard and the Korma Chameleon, and since then, she had called up Cora and explained to her the situation.
“These are Chrono’s crew members”, the mermaid had said, showing the otter the pictures Coco had snapped with her phone. “Can I ask you to describe them to everyone and start searching Tokyo for them?”
The animal had stared intently at the images for about a hour, focusing on memorising all the details (her eyesight was, after all, still comparable to that of humanoid beings despite the colour blindness).
Besides moving the phone to her desk, which made Cora hop onto it, Coco hadn’t bothered Cora while she was burning the information into her mind, focusing on her homework while occasionally sliding photos for the otter.
«Ok, I think I have everything I need», her otter assistant communicates telepathically. «As soon as I or one of the others have news, we will tell you.»
—---------------------------------
It is the 6th of February and Cora has come and gone many times since then, only commenting on the vastness of Tokyo and several false positives they have scrubbed off the list before taking an opportunity to eat and rest.
«Coco, it’s me» the otter relays from the other side of the door. «Welcome back, Cora» Coco answers, letting her in and petting the otter as she makes her entrance frenetically.
«I found one!» she exclaims. «Come, I will lead you there!»
«That’s awesome, good job, Cora!» Coco compliments her as she grabs a coat and starts chasing after the otter.
A few hours later, in the Toshima-ku district, outside of a warehouse, a woman with a confident expression in her twenties professionally dressed with a high-visibility vest, a collared shirt, jeans and work boots is addressing a man in front of her.
“Tanaka-san, tomorrow we are bound to receive that shipment of mahogany chairs. Please put them next to the shelving units. They are both orders by Kyokko Interiors. Is that all right?”
The man looks at the packaging waiting next to them and nods. “Of course, Yadame-buchou. I will head right onto it.”
“Good. Thanks, Tanaka-san”, she nods before getting into the building with an assured pace.
Not too far from the scene, Coco and Cora have been sneaking peeks at the two workers. The mermaid has been comparing her with one of the photos she took, and if the woman being addressed as Yadame left any doubts, her celestial eyes and vibrant purple hair really made it clear they had Yadame Hozomi not too far from them.
«Good job, Cora. Chrono will be overjoyed, I am sure», Coco exclaims, passing her a few anchovies as reward. «Please go tell the others that they should come see me for an extra luxurious dinner.»
