Chapter 1 : A Detective NEET-er

Yuuma's POV

"Hey!"

"Have you been waiting?"

"What is the work for today?"

"Come on, let's get going!"

Those were the words I would hear daily, no matter where I was. I never stayed in one place permanently, because my father is a yakuza, so it was impossible for me to live peacefully. Without much of a choice, I had to keep moving away, seeking refuge under the wings of my father's subordinates.

I was back at Tokyo again; this prefecture seemed to be getting more crowded as time goes by. A lot seemed to have change, not that I really care much about it, there is still the chance that I needed to move again.

"H-he… help…"

Whose voice was that?!

"Y-young man-… Argh!"

CRASH

Is this guy, actually dead?! In this seemingly narrow alley?! Are you kidding me! I could get accused of an attempted murder!

"Hey! Have you seen an old ma- ah, there he is!"

Three peculiar looking individuals, 1 male and 2 female, approached me, no wait. They're approaching the dead body….

"You should be leaving; we really don't want to involve other people,"

I then walked past those four (one not so alive) people calmly, already used to those things. Besides, moving to one place to the other due to my father's unclean work, meant, I've avoided death chases for countless of times, that is, only from what I can tell, I don't hope for much though.

"Okay, students, today there's a new transfer student, he lived here in Tokyo before, but due to his father's work, he moves a lot, please, come in and introduce yourself."

A well-built teacher that has a smile –plastered annoyingly on his face, allowed me inside. If I was not mistaken his name was Hibiki Lui-sensei, or something close to that.

I introduced myself briefly and wrote the kanji of my name, Yuusei Yuuma, pretty simple right?

"Now, let's start our lesson. Ah yes Yuuma, after my lesson is over, follow me to the office. There are a couple of things I need to talk to you with in private."

I nodded lazily, getting called in a weird manner after just transferring to this school, it felt like a pain. This school, Misaki Gakuen, is just a standard, and regular, private school. Maybe my father planned all this just so that his enemies won't easily find me. If it's a matter of experience, I've already slipped from a death's grasps countless of time, and saw a murder, but I have never in my life, ever murdered a living person, what would people think if I killed a person?! It would just imply that I support what my father's unclean job. I only wish for a peaceful life.

My mother passed away, I have an older sibling, a sister, which looks a lot like my deceased mother, and her job is rather unstable, she often take part-time jobs, instead of a full time job. She actually graduated from college and held a bachelor's degree, though, I could not understand why she prefers to live a free life and depended more on my father's money.

About my sister, her name is Yuusei Mizki, her hair is black, unlike my pink colored one. I inherited my mother's hair color, while she inherited my father's. Her face is oriental, just like my mother's. My mother and father has a different nationality, my father is from England, while my mother is Japanese. Why is my father's hair black and not blonde? Because our grandparents are also English-Japanese. My grandfather's hair is blonde, but my grandmother's hair is black.

Long ago, in Europe, a black haired Asians are called 'Shinigami' or 'God of death'. It was probably why Asians are feared by the young generations in the west.

"Now, Yuuma. Would you kindly tell me what you stumbled upon this morning?"

I furrowed my brows after hearing what this teacher had just said, he just met me and he is already asking me about my personal life? Lui-sensei, what kind of a teacher are you?

"What if I'm not telling?" I asked back, a sinister smile surfacing quickly as his immediate response.

"I could easily spread a rumor about you being a famous yakuza's son in this school."

HUH?! HE'S A STALKER! Ehm… Ah, excuse me, I could destroy the writer's keyboard, or... something. This is just a joke okay?! Just, you can ignore this.

"You mean this morning, when I found an old man that died in a narrow alleyway?"

Lui-sensei clapped his hands together, looks like I wasn't wrong. But, why would this matter to him?

"I think you're willing to cooperate now, here, after returning home, I was hoping you would go to Setagaya district, well… it's crowded there, it might be hard for us to find each other. I'll explain after we meet, you're free to go now!"

I left the teacher's office without uttering a single word, what did he really mean? Rather than thinking too much, i guess it's better if I go now.

And here I am, circling around Setagaya district with no certain goal. I was going to ignore that stupid teacher and go to Akihabara, but I just have a hunch that I would find out more about this morning's 'incident', by doing this. You know right? That old man that laid lifelessly in a narrow alley…

At first, I wandered around the main road, but it was so crowded, I've grown tired of it and decided to stop at a local grocery store. You know? A store that sells old electronics. It was also crowded here, it looked like this store also sells food and drinks. I intended to go through the front door, but because it was too crowded. I just went around the back of the store.

"Ah, you're the boy this from this morning!"

I turned to the source of the sound, and saw the three people that I 'passed' this morning, they seem to be busy eating their instant ramen. The two female, looked identical and had a honey blonde hair. The one man looked like a woman with his long hair, held a scabbard in his hands.

"Err… you guys are the people from this morning. How come you're here?"

"How rude!" One of the girls snorted at me.

"Introduce yourself properly before asking questions to the people that just gave you a friendly greeting!"

"Calm yourself first Rin, gosh…" The other girl also snorted towards the girl that was called Rin.

"Ah, okay. Yuusei Yuuma, there."

Silence

.

.

"Oi, little boy, I won't hesitate taking your head off right now if you continue to insult us with cheap jokes like that," The she-male drew his sword and pointed it towards me. I thought he was just carrying the scabbard! It's a real sharp sword!

"Wow… you got a great sword, it's real right? Hehe... hehe…" Stupid Yuuma! Why are you making jokes now?!

"Oi, Calm down Gakupo! Hey, at least he introduced himself right? Maybe he's just being wary!" Thank you blonde girl! You're such a kind person!

"But the name Yuusei, I think I've heard it somewhere… Ah, I got it! It's the name of the famous yakuza! What is your connection to them?" The blonde girl that looked like the girl that called Rin asked me.

I stared at the girl, the other girl that was called Rin also seemed to be curious. While the other guy that was called Gakupo lowered his sword from my neck.

"I'm… Err… I'm the son of their leader."

SPUUURT

Rin and the other girl spurted the ramen soup they were eating, while the Gakupo person was dumbfounded.

Gakupo drew his sword again and positioned it in front of his face, he suddenly bent his knees and kneeled towards me with a sword ready at the left side of his stomach, what! What is happening here!

"Forgive me, my lord. Please let me atone my sins with harakiri, right now" He said without hesitant, what's really happening here?!

"Mou… enough! Explain to me what in the world is going on!" I shouted, I can't stand this!

"Ah, forgive us for our belated introductions; allow me to introduce myself, and my colleagues one by one before I atone my sins with a harakiri. My name is Kamui Gakupo, someone that upholds the dignity of a samurai, and once had my life saved by yakuza group Yuusei. While they are, the girl's name is Kagamine Rin and the boy is Kagamine Len, they're a graduate of Nagoya University, and is working as a part-timer with me."

"Err… ok, I understand. Beforehand, Gakupo-san, can you stop your harakiri thing. I'm not in the least angry with you. Also, which one of them is a male? Aren't the both of them girls?" I asked bluntly, which one of them is Kagamine Len?

The one with a blonde hair tied into a small ponytail instantly crouched with a dark expression. While the other one, wearing a polka dot ribbon with her hair tied into a side ponytail, suddenly laughed loudly.

"Thank you for your forgiveness my lord, and please just call me Gakupo. The one that is crouching is Kagamine Len, he's a male,"

CRASH!

Wha- I never expected that! The sweet-faced girl that had been defending me was actually a boy! The world must be at its end!

"I'm terribly sorry Len-san… Err… I didn't know."

"No, it's fine *Sniff*, but this is surprising, for a famous yakuza group to have a child. And just call me Len, no need for the honorifics."

"And call me Rin! Ciaossu~~"

"Not just one actually, I live together with my elder sister," I added a bit more about myself, it looked like they knew my father and did not seem to be trying to take him down, well, doesn't really matter if I reveal a little secret.

"EHHH!"

Is it that surprising for them to know about this? Is it that much of a taboo to know?

"I can't believe this,"

"Yeah…"

"I never knew about this…"

"Gakupo, can you stop referring to yourself so lowly?[1] At least, not in front of me,"

"No! That is a violation to a samurai's dignity! Ah! Pardon me for shouting, please allow me to atone my sins by decapitating myself now," Gakupo! Don't put more stress on me now!

"STOP! Gakupo! Enough! I don't want to be viewed as a ruffian! Just do whatever you want but don't be reckless again! Then, Len and Rin? Are the both of you?"

"Yup!"

"That is correct…"

I don't care if the world is at its end for this, but I want to protect Len's angelic smile

"Err… Yuuma-san, can you stop looking at me like that? You're scaring me…" Len said, I just realized I had been staring at him weirdly, I'm still STRAIGHT! Keep that in mind!

"Kyaaa! Len nii-chan's charm can't be matched by anyone!"

"Rin you're being too noisy!"

SLAM!

The back door suddenly opened with a loud slam, and I could see a girl wearing an apron through it

"Why are you guys so noisy?! You're just staying here to eat, it's interfering our work!" That girl was angry at us, but I seem to recognize her from somewhere, Ah! Yes I remember!

"Miku?"

"Yuuma?"

"Huh? Miku, you know him?" Rin asked Miku, she nodded.

"He's my schoolmate, Yuusei Yuuma."

"What are you doing here Miku?" I asked her, to which she answered with a smile.

"I work part-time here."

"Oh…"

"YAHOO~~ Sorry I'm late! Is something interesting happening here?!"

I think I also recognize that annoying voice…

"Lui-sensei?!"

"Oh, Yuuma! You finally came! I was searching for you everywhere!"

"Now please, explain to me what exactly happened!"

"Calm down now, you've known each other right? I have a special request for you, it looks like you might get along well with 'Her', because one of your father's subordinate is a good friend of 'Her'"

I narrowed my eyes, 'Her'? What did he mean by 'Her'?

"Who exactly are you referring to?"

"You will know in due time, and if you're willing to, you could join our little group! And maybe you could be closer to your parents!" Was what Lui-sensei said, I thought about it.

Parents? Father?! Hmm… interesting…

"Okay, I accept your offer,"

Rin, Len, Gakupo, Lui-sensei, and I are ascending a stairway of an apartment complex, Miku couldn't come because she was still in her work shift. We arrived at the last door at the highest level of the complex, number 40… hmm… What, or more precisely, who is in there?

Lui-sensei opened the door that leads inside the room, I gulped… and when I look inside, I was utterly surprised! 42 inch monitors are everywhere! CPUs are arranged neatly in the corner of the room , dozens of Routers and Power Banks are everywhere! What kind of maniac lived here?! I squinted my eyes, I could see a girl, her figure is small, with a dirty blonde hair… and it would seem that she was staring at a monitor on top of her bed.

Without any warning, she suddenly threw a can towards me. DoKuPe? Hmm, this drink is famous these days.

"Quick, open that drink now, or I'm going to dehydrate. If I'm dehydrated I can't unlock my potential to solve all of the cases around the world. And if that happens, my duty as a spokeswoman for the dead might fail,"

What is she talking about? I admit her voice sound melodic, but what she's saying doesn't fit with the situation.

"Yuusei Yuuma, 16 years old, second grade high school in Misaki Gakuen. The son of the famous yakuza leader, has an older sister aged 24, named Yuusei Mizki, constantly moving, your mother is deceased. You have won a provincial robotics championship and won the favorites in national literature writing. I know the people from your father's group,"

Damn! Another stalker?!

"It seems you're interested, yes? She was the person we were talking about. Her name is IA, a detective that is currently working directly under your father's 'group', she also excels in solving social problems,"

I gazed at her, she's standing… Her clothes were gothic Lolita, standing on top of her bed. I'm staring at this girl, her body was small and was probably around my shoulder height. But her face is kind of cute.

"Wha-what are you looking at?! Where's my Do-Do-DoKuPe?!"

I was startled and immediately opened her canned drink, but because I was in a hurry, the soft drink instead spewed its content and drenched my upper body.

I handed her the DoKuPe, and stared at her… I can't seem to avert my gaze from her… While she was stealing glances and acting rather cynical towards me.

Phew, this took longer than I thought it would. Forgive my mistakes in spelling and others, I'm bad.

So... leave your comments!

Important note, all of the marked word/sentences means I'm not entirely sure for its translation.
