When you peek through the fence and see buildings, railways, and roads. It doesn't feel like Tokyo; it isn't large enough. At most a very large town but the very idea of running around without any clothing on is too embarrassing to consider. Therefore, your priority right now is to find some sort of clothing within the school.
This is when an unpleasant discovery about the high school reveals itself. It's an all-boy's high school. Thus, there is no forgotten female clothing anywhere. All you find are dirty gym clothes fitted out for boys. It reeks, and when you look very carefully, you can see dried salt rimming the collar and armpits in yellow circles.
It's almost tempting to just continue being naked.
You can't even bring yourself to cry anymore; you've shed all your tears.
The baggy clothing fits very loosely, and the shorts are on the verge of falling down. To prevent an embarrassing accident, you use your ice powers to copy the gold pin holding up the Black Cloak. The white copy of the pin is crude and not very pleasant to touch, but it works to fasten the excess cloth of the shorts tighter on your waist. It only takes a bit of concentration to keep the ice pin from melting away.
???
Why isn't the World being a jerk and going <span class="mu-r">Backlash is building...</span> on you for using ice ability? Even if there aren't any witnesses, using your ice magic should have caught the notice of the hateful World and generated a bit of Backlash. Maybe because it's such a minor use of magic that the World can't sense it. No time to mull over this. You need to find a shrine and see if you can get back to Avalon, from Avalon you can go back and rescue your cohort.
You do some further raiding of the school. Nothing major, just a few pieces of chalk and someone's forgotten cellphone charger. Then a final raid on the shoe lockers at the front entrance of the school and finding a service pair of shoes. They're half a size too big, but they'll do. When you venture out of the school and get past the gates, you almost run into the early morning crowd of students heading for club practice. The boys are very confused to see a girl exit an all-boys school, but you don't stick around to explain yourself.
You need to find a shrine!
The view from the school was deceptive. What you thought was a sprawling cityscape turned out to be an illusion. Just minutes into your run, thick forests and rural scenery begin replacing the urbanized area you landed in. Cloak flapping in the wind, you continue to run until you see a shrine with a gigantic camphor tree dominating the grounds.
You hurriedly do the purification rituals before getting past the torii gate and hurriedly looking for an auxiliary shrine out of sight of the main worshipping area. You're going to be doing a bunch of odd things, and you don't want any witnesses.
When you get to the back of the shrine, a familiar sight surprises you.
