It is evening in Snezhnaya as night deepens. Unlike the excited atmosphere of the evening, the inside of the Munitions Palace is silent.

Guest finished dinner early and rushed to Mitya's laboratory inside the Munitions Palace. This was because it was obvious he would slack off again if Guest didn't get there quickly.

Guest ran as fast as possible, but... Mitya was gone. It seemed he had slacked off again (..). But it didn't matter. There were only two places he would go.

First candidate: The Old Courtyard Restaurant. He often slacked off there to chat with the troupe's soprano, Vodyanitsa.

Second candidate: The Korolevsky Theater. This was the most likely. It is the place where Mitya slacks off the most, and coincidentally, there is a performance at the theater at this time today.

Guest quickly went to the first candidate, the Old Courtyard Restaurant. After asking the owner for permission and searching thoroughly... he wasn't there. Now there was only one candidate left. Guest ran again.

Then, Guest arrived in front of the Korolevsky Theater.

However... it seemed the performance had already started while Guest was searching the restaurant. Well, nothing could be done. It was a two-hour performance. Guest intended to sit on a bench in front of the theater and wait until it ended.

Guest endured the bitter cold of Snezhnaya and waited tenaciously for two hours.

Two hours later, the play ended. Among the crowd pouring out, a familiar muffler and hair came into view. Finally found him.
