Dammit.
She just wanted to get something for her and Hideo to eat before the next match. She didn't expect to have him bump into a Nightmare member or get questioned by a Web Trooper. And now, there was a murder going on, with one of the tournament fighters being the victim.
Hideo's phone continued reading off oncoming texts - it was apparently a group chat now. A group chat that encompassed everyone that received the message, which seemed to be everyone. Outside of the phone, people were starting to discuss the message: some were shocked to see it, others were ambivalent, and others even expressed their doubts out loud, thinking it was some kind of prank.
The Nightmare girl was absolutely furious, stomping around and swearing. Hideo stepped back, in a case where his reflexes were making the smartest decision for now - she'd have pulled him back if he didn't move. The Web Trooper girl was infinitely-more composed through her, but it was impossible to see how she was really reacting behind that gas mask.
Kumomon looked back at Hideo. He looked like he was doing his best to look calm, and if you only looked at his face, you'd think he was taking this surprisingly well. But she could feel his hand, and it was trembling. He must have been getting worked-up over all those texts he was getting.
Kuki gently drew his arm towards her so she could turn off his phone, but just as she got close, an odd song started to play from it, instantly silencing the text-reading program running on his phone. On the screen she could see the words "Caller: Naoki Kino". She heard the phone begin to read out the name, but before it went past "caller", Hideo already accepted it, pulling the phone up to his ear, slipping out of the spider's hold.
She couldn't hear what came out of the phone at first, only hearing some indistinct speaking as soon as her partner uttered "Naoki?". Hideo's response made it more obvious what was being said. "I'm...I'm where all the stands are."
A brief pause as she heard some sounds from his phone. "Uh...I don't really know which one I'm by."
One more pause as the brother spoke. "Yeah, she's with me....yeah, I'll give her the phone."
Hideo briefly moved the phone away from his ear. "Kuki, Naoki wants to talk to you. He's trying to find out where we are." He knelt back down, no doubt to feel for where her head was. She made the job easier for him, guiding his arm so his phone would press against one of her ears.
"Kumomon, I-"
"You're looking for where we are, right?" Her answer was quick, to-the-point. He must have been caught off-guard, because he didn't immediately respond. "All these stands look the same to me, but you shouldn't have trouble finding a kid in a striped sweater with a pink spider."
The response was exasperated. "...don't be a smartass. I'll send Falcomon over to find you two so we can escort Hideo somewhere safer. Stay put until he finds you. Keep an eye out for anyone suspicious, and don't let Hideo out of your sight."
"Do you really need to tell me that?" There was another moment of silence after that, with a groan heard before the phone beeped. Call ended.
"Looks like we're gonna be stuck here until his Falcomon gets here," Kumomon stated, pushing Hideo's arm out of the way. He seemed to get the message, putting his phone back in his pocket. She looked towards the Web Trooper girl, shrugging with two pairs of her legs. "If you've got more questions, ask them now. No clue when he'll get here, but it won't take long for a bird to find us."
