The Sins were strung all around Earth. Tomoe didn't know much about other countries so he had to ask the others were they may be. "Others" meaning the Unchanged group.
"When did you get into our apartment,Tomo?" asked Soma looking at Tomoe cooking dinner for them.
"You left your window unlocked."
"But windows autolock..." Nagisa was thinking hard. "Did you...use electricity to bypass the security?"
"Do people not regularly do that?"
"WE'RE ON THE 12TH FLOOR! ALSO PEOPLE USUALLY CAN'T USE ELECTRICITY!"
"Oh,that's right. Then I guess I'll throw this food into the trash and go back home."
"Wait,you can stay. It smells delicious."
"You have no pride,Nagisa" said Soma.
"I'm hungry. You can look at my CD's if you stay quiet."
"I love you!" Soma jumped on Nagisa and hugged her as though she was holding her child from danger.
"You're choking me!"
"Anyway,I came here for a reason."
"What is it,Teacher Tomo?" asked Yuuki.
"The locations of the Sins." Tomoe brought the food to the dining table and he also took out a map of the world. "We can talk while eating so eat up." Tomoe made more than 10 servings worth of rice and meat. "Oh,sorry I didn't put any veggies or fruits. I wasn't sure which ones would taste good with it.
The 4 of them finished all the food almost immediately. The one who contributed the least was Yuuki as you could guess.
"We know that Wrath is in Kyoto,Japan and I have an idea of where Greed and Envy may be. Pride moves around and also changes her appearance a lot so she'll be a bit random."
"Where's Greed and Envy?" asked Nagisa.
"Envy's location is actually unknown but,she wants to fight me so she'll probably come to me anyway. And Greed is in space."
"Space?!" All of them shouted.
"More precisely,a spaceship. He's probably using the astronauts as hostages to get more and more money."
"Shouldn't we stop him immediately?" asked Yuuki.
"He's incapable of killing anyone. He makes his minions do it for him. As far as I know,he can't do anything but make people faint."
"Phew..."
"Were you worried about your beloved astronauts?"
"Beloved astronauts?" asked Nagisa and Soma."
"Her parents told me that she wanted to become an astronaut ever since she was young,am I wrong?"
"...No,you're correct. It's silly for a shy person like me to become an astronaut,isn't it?"
"No,it isn'-" Soma was interrupted by Tomoe saying,
"Now all we need to know is the location of the other 4."
"BE A BIT KINDER TO YOUR STUDENT!"
"Why should I?"
"You're supposed to help your students,right?" asked Soma.
"I am. But a problem like this is something she has to deal with herself. If she can't then she won't survive in the adult-world. You guys should remember that there won't always be a person to save your skin in case you make a mistake. As children,those are your parents. And as students,those are your friends but,when you're older the unexpected may happen. You should at least learn to be somewhat independent. If you can't do that then you'll stay a child forever."
"That was...strangely deep coming from you Tomoe." Nagisa was crying.
"Umm,I can't really handle people crying so could you pull back those tears?"
"Sorry,your words just moved us..."
"Us?" Tomoe looked at the other two and saw them also crying. "Anyway,Lust would be in a place in which people's emotions could be easily swayed to become his followers.
Sloth would be anywhere clean,dark and warm. But not warm to the point that it's hot."
"So anywhere with perfect sleeping conditions..."
"Gluttony would be a place with a large amount of food,doesn't matter what kind of food."
"Gluttony and Sloth may be hard to pinpoint..."
"Why not Paris,France?" asked Yuuki.
"I was gonna say that Lust might be in France or Arabia." said Nagisa.
"Why France,Yuuki?"
"Well,Lust is known as an extreme version of love and Paris used to be called the city of love and lights."
"Hmm. Why Arabia,Nagisa?"
"The Mediterranean used to be known for their 'work' but for the past thousand or so years they have been extremely religious so probably not...But Yuuki,didn't they undergo a huge change in the past century?"
Yuuki nodded. "On rainy days,a thick fog covers the entire city and supposedly makes everyone have the same sensation as they were drunk. The sun shines extremely brightly after the rain so Paris is now known as 'The Tale of Two Cities'.
"Sounds like Lust has been working hard. All right,I'll find out where Gluttony and Sloth is so,Nagisa?"
"?"
"Could you give me a table of the amount of farmable area countries are using to cultivate crops?"
"I could but,it'd be complicated if I just gave you raw data like that...I'll list amount of food consumed in the last decade and give it to you. Does that sound better?"
"Last century. I don't know how long they've been here but they should have arrived around the same time."
"Alright. What about Sloth?"
"I'll have to do what I hate most..."
"Actually search around for him?"
"Call him?"
"Why is that bad?" asked Soma.
"He takes forever to write a letter and if I call him using m-lines he'll only pick up 0.02% of the time."
"That's stupidly exact."
"Anyway,I'm counting on you! By the way,I've scheduled a field trip tomorrow so pack up and get plenty of rest. See ya!" Tomoe then ran out.
"For being lazy he loves taking the fastest route."
The next day,everyone was put into a giant bag and was carried by Otome across the ocean,to Europe and he ran from country-to-country to get to France and eventually Paris. In an hour. If you can't tell,everyone was terrified. The amount of training they got was short so they were scared but,they decided they would try millions and millions of times. Even if it was against a single opponent.
They finally decided to put their life on the line. And for a dumb reason too. They all wanted to fight Tomoe and put him in his place.
