The next day after what happened in chapters 1-18...
At the hospital..
Excuse me, Nurse? Where is Izuru Moroboshi's room? Shingo asks curiously.
Wait, let me see. The nurse said enthusiastically.
Yes, please take your time! Shingo said enthusiastically.
A lot of things have happened yesterday, right? I couldn't even believe that all of those things have happened in just a single day. Shingo said, clearly surprised.
That's right, for just a day a lot of things have happened and it's hard to even process all of it. Dia said coldly.
Sir, I've found the hospital room of the person you are trying to find! Please proceed on Room 405 in the floor 3A. The nurse said calmly.
Alright, thank you for your service. Dia said calmly, bowing politely.
Thank you for your tome, Ms. Nurse! Shingo said enthusiastically, bowing politely.
Let's go and find the room. Dia said coldly.
Right! Shingo said enthusiastically.
Dia and Shingo boarded the elevator to floor 3A.
I wonder how he is doing now? That man seems too spent before the ambulance even arrived. Dia said coldly yet warily.
I am sure that he is somehow doing okay now, I am also surprised that he even lasted that long yesterday before totally collapsing. Shingo said enthusiastically.
That guy really is something else, I can't deny that. Dia said sarcastically.
We're almost there! Shingo said enthusiastically.
You're too excited to see that dimwit, huh? Dia said sarcastically.
Well, Ms. Tsundere! I know that deep down there you misses his presence around and is also worried sick at him! Shingo said teasingly.
Shut up! You better stop what you're trying to do here, Shingo. You're starting to adapt that dimwit's relentless nonsense too, in just a course of a day! Dia said irritatingly, but she is kinda blushing.
Really? Shingo said teasingly.
Yes, I won't miss a fiber of that man's being! Dia said irritatingly, gritting her teeth.
Hm, whatever you say! Shingo said sarcastically.
Whatever, damn it. Dia said irritatingly, looking away.
The elevator stops working and it opens it's door.
We're here, thank goodness. Dia said calmly, letting out a sigh.
Let's go and find the room then! Shingo said enthusiastically.
They both run around the hallway to find Izuru's hospital room.
It's ironic don't you think? Dia asks curiously.
What is it? Shingo asks curiously.
Both his apartment room number and his hospital room number are 405. Dia said calmly.
Well, seems like that number really loves sticking with him! Shingo said sarcastically.
Seems like it. Dia said calmly.
I've found it, we're here! Shingo said enthusiastically.
Alright, let's go and knock. Dia said calmly.
Let's do it together in 3. Shingo said anxiously.
Alright, ready or not here comes the countdown! Dia said sarcastically.
3...2...1...
They knock instantaneously.
God, too loud! I know you two are there, you may enter. Izuru said sarcastically.
Damn it, he got hospitalized yet he still doesn't change that fucking attitude! Dia said irritatingly.
Let's go inside, let's not keep him waiting. Shingo said enthusiastically.
Shingo opens the door and they both entered the room.
So, how are you now? Dia asks curiously.
Shingo closes the door behind him.
I was just doing fine, though the knife woumd and my fractured knee still stings so fucking bad! Izuru said irritatingly.
So, what did the doctors said? When will you be discharged? Shingo asks curiously.
Well, the doctors said that I fractured my knee so bad... that's why it will take the treatment for a month, basically, I will be able to go out next month. Izuru said irritatingly Damn it, just in my first day I am already bored here! How can they be so sure that I can manage to be here for a month? Izuru said irritatingly.
Look at you, throwing tantrums like a child. Dia said sarcastically.
Oh, a squirrel can talk? Izuru said teasingly.
Damn it, you always have a comeback for anything. Dia said irritatingly.
Old habits die hard! Izuru said sarcastically, letting out a playful chuckles.
Dia just lets out a sigh.
Shingo lets out a laugh.
So, how did yesterday go? I mean the delivery of my deduction to the others. Izuru asks curiously.
It went great, we managed to get your cover safe while delivering your analysis to them concisely. Shingo said enthusiastically.
That's right and everything just goes as you deduced, the killer, the motive, the method, everything was surprisingly correct. Dia said calmly.
See, I know you can do it! Izuru said enthusiastically.
Yes, though we did it because of you. Shingo said confidently.
That's why I am here as your mentor, right? I am sure that someday while we navigate this web of mysteries together under my mentorship and leadership, I am confident to say that someday the both of you will be recognized on your own skills. Izuru said coldly Until that day comes, you can rest assured that I will remain by your sides and continuously hone your skills. Izuru said sincerely.
So, you're still capable of saying such good things? That's quite new to me. Dia said sarcastically.
Of course, I am even more surprised that the squirrel managed to pull it off yesterday! Izuru said sarcastically, letting out a laugh.
Dia just lets out a sigh and facepalms.
Come on now! Shingo said hesitantly, letting out chuckles.
Shut the fuck up, you two. Dia said intimidatingly.
We're sorry. They both said in unison.
Anyways, what happened to the culprit? Izuru asks curiously.
Takeru Saegusa was taken to the interrogation room of the MPD Headquarters for further questioning, Auntie didn't get the two of us updated about it as a punishment for violating her punishment. So, I am afraid I won't be able to share anything with you about that...Dia said coldly.
Is that so? What a shame, the two of you really are a lost cause! Izuru said sarcastically.
Damn it, we got into this because of you! Well, partly because of our own selves too. Dia said hesitantly, looking away and blushing.
Shingo is trying his hardest not to laugh.
Izuru lets out a laugh.
What so funny about it, you two? Dia said irritatingly.
Nothing, we're sorry. They both said in unison.
Dia just lets out a sigh and shakes her head.
Shit, I feel like I am babysitting two immatured children here. Dia mutters to herself.
Also, about Asuka? Izuru said hesitantly.
A full body autopsy has been conducted on Ms. Asuka's corpse, it was discovered that she was shot with a rare type of bullet. But, it is confirmed to be from a sniper rifle given the distance of the shooting. Shingo said confidently.
Obviously, it is. Izuru said sarcastically, letting out a sigh Rare type of bullet? This only means that this mysterious foundation is really the one behind Asuka's assassination... clearly we are dealing with some people who has considerable resources and power. Izuru said coldly.
A moment of silence occured between the three of them.
We have to find out more about this organization, it's clear that they are dangerous and elusive. I doubt that even the MPD or some other Law Enforcement Teams have gathered sufficient amount of data about those people, this only means that we have to do it ourselves. Izuru said coldly, clenching his fists.
Damn it, now we got dragged into this. Dia said coldly.
We have no choice but to do it, it's clear that this organization also is operating from the shadows for a long time now given that they have inflicted the same tattoo in Izuru's neck.Shingo said warily.
We have to keep on solving cases, I ask you to help me stop this organization. I know that we'll be having a hard time stumbling in a case involving them again and when we did I know that it will be dangerous for all of us, but trust me on this... I'll do everything I can to improve your skills and what I must do as your mentor, All I need is your help until we stop this organization. Izuru said sincerely, bowing down his head.
Dia and Shingo was completely shocked, glancing at each other.
Of course, we'll do that! Both of them said in unison.
We'll manage to gain something from this case of this mysterious foundation too, we'll help. Dia said calmly.
Thank you both! Izuru said sincerely.
No, thank you... because of you we experienced for the first time that feeling, the feeling of being recognized not by our flaws but by success in that case yesterday! We feel like we've improved a bit ourselves watching you operate. Shingo said appreciatively That's why, we'll do this and navigate things with you! Shingo said enthusiastically.
Is that so? That's good to hear. Izuru said sincerely.
So, what's out approach in this? Dia asks expectantly.
We'll keep on solving cases and try to find out more information about this foundation, even if unrelated to them or not we'll still solve cases because it's our primary goal to begin with, to broaden your skill sets and hone them further also your work ethic as a police to exact justice and help people. I am not sure if this will guarantee something but this is our only clear cut choice for now. Izuru said coldly.
We're in. Both of them said in unison.
Thank you both for being on board, even if there's a chance that it will lead us to nothing. Izuru said sincerely.
A moment of silence again occured between the three of them.
Shingo clears his throat.
Anyways, we've brought you some snacks! Why don't we eat it first? Shingo said enthusiastically.
I am kinda hungry myself too. Dia said calmly, looking away and blushing.
Good timing! I crave some sweets today too! Izuru said enthusiastically.
Then let's go and eat! Shingo said enthusiastically.
In the Tantei Gakuen higher ups office.
You're back, how's your spying on the MPD? Elinaline, the current principal of Tantei Gakuen asks expectantly.
It's good, just yesterday we've solved a new case just a simple yet a bit confusing murder case. The spy said coldly.
I see, so any updates about him? Elinaline asks curiously.
Principal Elinaline, I have a big update to relay on you. The spy said coldly.
Hm, quite intriguing...what is it that you have for me? Elinaline asks expectantly.
I want to say that...that Izuru Moroboshi is back in the detective world. The spy said coldly.
Elinaline's eyes widen in shock upon hearing Izuru's name.
Izuru Moroboshi? As in THAT IZURU MOROBOSHI? Elinaline asks expectantly.
Yes, Principal. It is the same Izuru Moroboshi, the prodigy who has been expelled here 5 years ago for his involvement in the controversial Tantei Gakuen Internship Murder Case. The spy said coldly.
I see, so he really is back in action now. Elinaline said warily.
What's our approach on this matter, Principal? The spy said coldly.
For now, continue your observations on him I'll also sent some more capable people to assist your spying when it is outside your vicinity as a member of MPD. Then, if he delves even deeper in the world of mysteries... we'll have to come up a plan in order to restrict him. Elinaline said coldly.
Yes, Principal. The spy said coldly.
Good, if that's all you have for me then you can leave now. Elinaline said authoritatively.
Yes, right away. The spy said coldly, bowing politely.
The spy left the office.
Seems liek you're at it again, Izuru Moroboshi. I'll do anything in my power to stop you on working again as a detective even if I have to use force on doing so. Elinaline said coldly.
I won't let the Bloody Mary know about your return and before they even have a grasp on it, I'll make sure to erase you out of the picture. Elinaline said coldly.
In a certain mansion.
So, what's the matter? A woman said coldly.
Turns out as you anticipated, Asuka got caught ans was about to reveal us on some cheap police detectives of MPD. Luckily, my man was fast enough to silence her on time. I also tasked one of them to remove traces of our organization in her car while she's inside that warehouse. A man said coldly.
Good job, Tasuku... Absolutely, great job! The woman said enthusiastically.
Thank you for your kind words, Madame Estelle. Tasuku said coldly, bowing politely.
I always know that someday, Asuka will get caught due to her impulsiveness and stupidity. Luckily, I had you and your man to tail her around yesterday. Estelle said coldly.
That's right, if it weren't for my sniper she would have already spilled some beans about us to those rookies. Tasuku said arrogantly.
Rookies? Interesting, Now I want to know who exactly did she lose to... seriously, she lost to some kind of cheap rookie detectives? Estelle said mockingly.
She's really not deserving to be one of us. Tasuku said coldly.
Did you happen to know...who are this detectives that managed to outsmart our Asuka? Estelle asks enthusiastically.
Well, I don't know them but there are three of them...I didn't get a much clearer look at them. Tasuku said coldly.
Well, well...quite an enigmatic trio! Estelle said enthusiastically That just makes me interested to them even more. Well, as a prize since they caught my attention... I'll make sure that they will be getting to play with us again soon. Estelle said sadistically, letting out a psychotic laugh.
"Interesting, let's play a game some time soon! Rookie MPD Detectives." Estelle taught to herself.
