Short One:
Mur Mur's Ice Cream Conversation
"Hey, Aru!" Mur Mur called, waving at the white haired boy standing on the sidewalk. He was going to catch the bus home, but stopped waiting the moment he spotted the assistant of Deus Ex Machina. The little girl was running towards him, wearing her childish outfit with the wide white boots, white panty-pants and pink and white vest. Her silver-white hair bounced behind her in its two pig tails, nearly reaching the ground even though it was pulled up. Mur Mur had a huge smile on her face, her big purple eyes shining. She never changes, does she?
"What is it this time, Mur Mur?" He asked nicely, kneeling down to get on the same level as the midget. The deity assistant stopped running once she'd caught up to the boy detective and gave him a high five when he held out his hand to her. "What brings you down to the mortal plane?"
"I've got a question for you!" She chirped happily.
"And hopefully I have an answer. Otherwise, you'll drag me around the world trying to figure it out." The white haired boy smiled cheerfully, half-joking and half-not.
"Damn straight I will!" The child-like girl smiled wider.
"Well, before you ask your question," Aru started, standing up and pulling his shirt collar away from his neck, "Why don't we go find someplace with air conditioning. It's hot out today."
"Can we get a treat!?" Mur Mur asked excitedly, hoping that Aru would treat her.
"Sure. Why not?" He replied. The short girl jumped up and down excitedly, her black devil's tail swishing happily with her. The odd pair started walking down the street, blending into the normal city traffic of Sakurami on that hot sunny day. Whenever Mur Mur was around, people tended not to notice her strange appearance or tail and Aru concluded that it was just something she did to keep humans off her. He knew that she liked to impersonate people and was mistaken for the real person almost all of the time, but when she was herself, people just didn't seem to pay attention to a dark skinned, white-haired, midget in cosplay-like clothes. It just seemed normal so he let it slide as they walked. Several blocks down and several streets over, Aru led little Miss Mur Mur into a quaint little ice cream shop and ordered two double scoop, vanilla and blue raspberry cones with chocolate drizzle (Mur Mur's choice) and sat in the corner booth to talk (Mur Mur had to sit on a child booster seat to get even with Aru's face).
"Okay, short stuff…what's your question?" Aru asked, licking his ice cream cone. "Hopefully, my fantastic detective skills can answer your little query. Though to be honest, I would think that the assistant to Deus wouldn't have need of my services in answering questions. Don't you know all about causality, space and time?"
"Yes, for the most part. But what I'm about to ask is something that just keeps stumping me: What makes human girls so much more complicated than human guys once they hit puberty? I mean, both sexes are made of the same things, with a few inherent differences in physicality, but why are girls soooo much more emotional that guys? Not counting Yuki. I swear that boy has no balls sometimes. Boys and girl act the same as kids for the most part and on top of that, some guys (Yuki, for example) act like 'girls' while girls act like 'guys' so what's the deal? I guess what I'm asking is why puberty exists in the first place." The midget finished her spiel and asked her question, licking her ice cream cone and looking at Aru expectantly. The boy detective's composure crumbled, leaving behind and confused and dumbfounded expression of disbelief. Wouldn't this question be better posed towards Deus? I never thought I'd be having the birds and the bees talk with Mur Mur of all people!
"Well…you see…" Aur began, looking everywhere except at Mur Mur before mustering up the courage to look the girl in the eye and start riddling out puberty and sexual/physical/emotional differences between boys and girls. The points Aru made were that human needed to develop into adults, but then Mur Mur said that they functioned just fine as kids so why did adulthood even exist and then Aru tried to ghost over the finer points of reproduction and continuation of a species (both things that required physical maturity) but then Mur Mur asked why that couldn't happen in a child's body and then they were back to puberty again.
After two hours, and five ice cream cones apiece, they still didn't have a complete answer and just left it in the hands the powers that be.
Up in the Cathedral of Causality, Deus Ex Machina just chuckled to himself, watching Mur Mur and his Observer try to riddle out the fundamental differences in women and men that showed themselves in puberty and why those differences showed up in some but not other and so forth. Of course, Deus had all the answers, but he wouldn't tell a soul unless they asked him directly.
Of course, he didn't want to have the birds and the bees talk with Mur Mur either so he silently thanked Aru for his intervention and reluctant willingness and just went on adjusting a finer point of causality.
