Ariana and her teammates were overjoyed. They had initially planned to play just for fun, but they had unexpectedly advanced to the top fifteen.

They chose to celebrate at an upscale restaurant, buzzing with excitement and discussing the details of the game on the way to the restaurant.

During their celebration, Ariana's phone rang.

She picked up to find a worried voice on the other end. "Is this Melon's mom? It's the kindergarten teacher. Please come to the kindergarten immediately; Melon and Adele are missing."

"What?" Ariana's face went pale. "I'll be there right away!" she said, her voice shaking.
