We obtained 300s r-band frames with a\nmedian time of (2026-01-31 16:25:55(UT)) 13 hr after the EP trigger.\nNo uncatalogued optical transient is detected in the stacked images within the 3 arcmin\nEP/WXT error circle (GCN Circular 43574,GCN Circular 43578), down to 5-sigma limiting magnitudes of r ~ 19.1(not good day with thin cloud and bad seeing), calibrated with Pan-STARRS sources in the field. Also there is no apparent brightening for the catalogued sources within the error circle. Based on the location of the report(GCN Circular 43574,GCN Circular 43578), the target was not observed.",
