Chapter 10 : Ring! Ring! Ring!
Normal POV
In the next morning, our main character Yuuma was looking for Gakupo, curious about the things that happened that night, he went to Gakupo's house, but it was empty. When Yuuma went to Aria's apartment, Aria had said that Gakupo was doing a task from Yuuma's father, Yuuma didn't want to keep his suspicion and thought he was just seeing things and gave up the case to the police, besides there's no point if he is involved in murder cases that has nothing to do with him.
In this early summer, Yuuma walked hurriedly with an ice cream shave in his hand, confused on what to do and too lazy to go back to his house. He planned to go to that shop where Miku is working; his intent was to visit the friendly backyard, seeing that the twin Len and Rin would usually freeload there.
"Ring! Stop that!"
"Ring! Don't take my food! Grrr!"
Yuuma stopped after entering the alleyway to the backyard. Isn't that Rin's voice? Yuuma thought.
"Rin, what is-"
KYAA!
SPLASH~~
GYAA!
Yuuma ran around, his face showered with the ramen Ring took from Rin. Ring tripped and the bowl of ramen kissed Yuuma's face passionately.
"GYAA!"
"WAHAHAHA! Nii-chan looks funny!"
"Yuuma?! What should I do?!"
Rig laughed rather maniacally, Yuuma ran around frantically, while Rin stood there confused, Miku heard the noise and slammed the back door open.
"What is goi- Yuuma?!"
Quickly, Miku took the closest bucket of water and threw the contents to Yuuma, resulting in him getting drenched in water. After a hot ramen shower, now Yuuma is showered with cold water, Ring laughed harder. While Rin took her shirt off and covered Yuuma's head with it, which meant so that Yuuma can dry himself. Realizing what she did, she took her shirt back from Yuuma and mentally slapped herself.
Poor Yuuma, born in misfortune…
"You guys…"
Yuuma changed his clothes, with Mew the shop owner permissions, though he's forced to use the clothes Mew used last night, good thing the size fits.
"Forgive us! Forgive us!"
"Wahahahaha! Nii-chan pervert! Wearing shop auntie's clothes! Wahahaha!"
"Silence Ring!"
SMACK!
"Ouch…"
Rin was busy bowing for forgiveness, while Miku hit Ring for being noisy.
"Just forget about it, and Miku, what the heck is wrong with that woman, I'm sure her age is around 30…"
Miku covered Yuuma's mouth for being too blunt.
"Hush! She's still 25 years old! And that's just how she looks every day."
"From what I see, she looks just like a flirt, I mean look at her clothes! And what the heck is that? Cat ears? And why is she adding –nyan at the end of her every sentence? And that maid clothing she's wearing, inside a small shabby store! What, why?"
"Don't get her wrong! She was one of the most popular maids in Akiba! She came back here to take care of her late grandfather's store, so please forgive how she acts… And besides, the ice cream here is amazing! Especially in this summer heat! She made them herself!"
"So the point is, people come here because of how she looks and the ice cream, not to buy the things that are actually sold here."
"Well, yes…"
Mew glanced at the children that were busy chatting and approached them.
"What is going on here nyan? Ice cream nyan?"
"Ugh!"
Yuuma was surprised by Mew's sudden gesture of tapping his shoulder. Yuuma turned around and hoped that Mew didn't hear anything that he and Miku talked about.
"Ba-san! Ba-san! Ring wants!"
"Yes, yes. Good girl, but don't be naughty again okay?"
Mew gently strokes Ring's head and left them. Yuuma let out a sigh of relief.
"Haa…"
"Baka nii-chan?"
Yuuma looked around and pointed to himself.
"Of course! Who else would Ring call for!"
"And for what are you calling me that eh? Little demon child."
"Because Miku nee-chan tell stories about you with that name!"
Ring gave Yuuma a wink, he quickly turned his head to Miku and was responded with a quick shake of her head.
"Don't believe her! It's a lie!"
"Hahahahahahahaha!"
Yuuma thought, what is Ring parents like, if their daughter is this demonic…
Ring quickly ate her ice cream and made a mess of it, after she's done eating she dragged Yuuma outside.
"Baka nii-chan, play with Ring! Ring is bored!"
"Eh-eh?! Wait!"
Rin and Miku watched the seen before the unfold, is Rin and Miku jealous? Sadly no one can read anyone's mind here.
Yuuma's POV
This kid! How does Miku cope with having a relative like her?!
"Baka Nii-chan! Enough daydreaming! Come on! Ring wants another ice cream! This time shaved ice cream!"
"Hey! I'm not your father!"
"Nggh… Sob… Sob…"
Oh no! She's crying!
"Alright! Alright! I'll buy you some!"
"Yaay!"
.
.
.
"Slurp.. Slurp…"
"You eat shaved ice cream with a spoon, that's why it's served with a spoon to begin with. Not licking it clean."
"Who cares! Bwee~~"
This girl, how dare her mock me?! Didn't her parents teach her any manners?!
"Eat~~ Eat~~ Lick-"
Bruk!
"Oww…"
When we were walking, a person on a skateboard bumped Ring, she fell with her shaved ice cream.
"My… Shaved ice cream… Sob… Sob…"
What! Is crying something she does every day or what?!
"Ah! Mou! Here, take it! I'm full!"
I gave her the ice cream that I barely touched, Ring's eyes sparkled and quickly took it from me, just like any other kids, she has her own sweet side.
I guess.
We walked around a park, and then we took a rest, today is hooooot! Where are all the ice cream sellers when you need one?! Maybe I'm really born with misfortune…
"H-here! Nii-chan open your mouth…"
I felt something cold touching my cheek, Ring was shoving a spoon of ice to me, her face blushing red, I can guess even if she's lowering her head.
Without hesitation I took it in delight, ah~~ How refreshing!
Blushh…
I don't know why but the temperature around here seems to be getting warmer, and when I turned my head to the side… Is that kid's head smoking? Am I not seeing things?
"Hey? Are you sick or something?"
Ring looked at me and acted weirdly, she pouted her cheeks and ran while throwing what is left of the shaved ice cream at me.
"KYAAA!"
"HEY! WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!"
I HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCHED HER AND SHE JUST RAN AND LEFT ME IN THIS STATE?! AM I REALL THIS UNLUCKY?!
.
.
.
Sigh… that kid just ran and disappeared, honestly looking for her is not hard, just look for a blue haired kid that reached to her ankles with a headphone like headband.
"Hey kid… Why did you bump to us so recklessly, huh?"
"I'm sorry…"
Where did those voices come from?
"Yeah! Who do you think we are, HUH?!"
"Nggn… Sob… Sob"
"Look she's crying! What a baby! Haha!"
That Ring! What is she doing with a group of brats?! That kid loves to make problems without knowing how to get out of it does she?! That idiot! Little brat…
"Hey! Brats! Stay away from her now or I will mess up your face!"
"Hey look! It's her brother!" Said one of the kids, do I really look like her brother?
"What do you want? You old man!"
How dare they say that I'm an old man! Well I know I'm tall and all, but don't blame me! They are the ones that are short!
"Oi, who are you calling an old man?! I am tall, but I'm a healthy high school student. Blame yourself for being so short.."
Crack…
Crack…
I stretched my fingers, and quickly punched the wall next to me until it made a crack, the kids ran away as fast as they could after witnessing it. Heh…
"Youch! This hurts!" I did not think it would hurt this badly! I didn't even know that my hand is bruised like this…
"H-here…"
"Huh?"
Ring tore some of her skirt and gave the piece of cloth to me, is she telling me to use these to bandage my bruise?
I looked around me in confusion…
"You mean…" As I said that I pointed towards myself.
"No, of course it's you! Baka nii-chan!"
Now I realized, this is the typical attention seeking kid, she just wanted me to come play with her for attention… *sigh* honestly…

We went to a photo booth, as one of Ring's wishes; I have no choice but to oblige. I don't understand what made her want to take a picture with me. After taking our picture, she jumped around in happiness… Kids…
"Here!"
She tore almost half of the photo results and gave it to me.
"For nii-chan." She said while lowering her head, what's wrong with her?
"Ah, thanks. I'll keep it safe, it will be dangerous if my sister saw this at home. She would be mad seeing me taking a picture with another girl whether she's young or not."
"Oh, nii-chan has a sister?"
"Yes, and she's a doting sister, with her 'unique' childish demeanor, hahahaha…"
Ring smiled sweetly without me noticing, in truth, no matter the child, a smiling child would always look so sweet.
It is now evening, almost the time for the sun to set. I wanted to quickly go home and take Ring back to Miku's house. When we went past the city, people were gathering and circled in the same spot.
I took Ring with me to see what the commotion was all about, and at that exact moment I took Ring into my arms and covered her eyes so she couldn't see what was there…
… Another dead body, in the same condition that I remember well, it was in no shape; every piece was cut and scattered almost everywhere.
I gave Ring to one of the policemen stationed there and went past through the crowds, there, the head officer of Setagaya district that once helped me investigate the Himuro Mansion not too long ago, Kaito Shion.
"What is going on here Kaito?"
"Yuuma? What are you-"
"Not important! Tell me what happened!" I was scared, that my suspicion to Gakupo would not just be a suspicion.
"This body, according to witnesses, fell from the top of a building in this condition as we see now. The killer did this on purpose, which means he wants his actions to be seen and known to public."
"Does… anyone ever saw the suspect?!"
"None, it was impossible to see the killer on the building, we secured the location and prevented anyone from entering or exiting. One of the evidence that the victim carried while he fell was a piece of clothing looks like he still had the energy to rip the suspect's shirt with his other arm before being thrown off."
"Please wait; I can't let this just slide so easily. I need to take my friend's niece home first, I'm afraid that my suspicion could be correct."
"What suspicion?"
"A suspicion that I know well who the killer is…"
Chapter 10 Complete (Finally)
*eats popcorn*
What?
It's not like being dead for a few months is fun, it's more than fun! And yes, yes. I did not forget about this translation thing.
Last but not least, let's not forget to respect the original author of the story for bringing this unique and amazing story that I just so happen to stumble upon and wanted to translate.
I know I did a lot, and I mean a lot. Of mistakes here and there. So I hope dear readers can understand the pain of school and strict parents, and forgive me.
Let's stop my rambling.
