Hi~ Anime-addict-fan here! I greatly appreciate the support with the reviews! I will do my best to update on my breaks from the intensive studying I'm about to take. I actually have finished the story in my head and I can't wait to share with you what I have planned! Muahahahah seriously, man I'm dying to write it but! Life is Life, gotta take it step by step.
I hope everyone has taken notice of the hints I gave you, because they're more to come! After all this is not even halfway through. My spices are yet to be added, I will smoothly mix them so it won't burn you when they come out. I believe this is a fair warning. This is my version after all muahahahah~ *coughing* ah~~ on with the story! *Hides evil smirk with hand*
"Ugh" Naru put his black notebook away and massaged the bridge of his nose.
"Tea, Naru?"
"Please" he let a sigh pass his lips and Mai couldn't help but let a sweat drop fall behind her head. They just had an interview with some teenagers that claimed her classmate has been possessed by a fox.
"It's weird..." Mai began but Naru just drank his tea.
She rolled her eyes at the 'i could care less about the thing you want to talk' face. Even so she continued. "They weren't lying"
He sighed "I will rather not waste my time with another, attention seeker"
Mai sighed as well. She had grabbed the girls information just in case anyone else would want to take it, but she knew that Naru was in that mood because they had taken him away from his precious map.
"Well if that isn't the case, we may hear from her again. One way or another." She pulled out a plastic bag out of her bag pack."want some cookies?"
"No, an idiot like you doesn't know how to measure the amount of sugar. I can't believe I even tried one last time"
"Excuse me! I need them to be super sweet otherwise they won't work" Mai put her hands in her hips.
He raised an eyebrow. Just then Lin got out of his office, and was about to enter the kitchen when he was stopped by Naru's insensitive reply.
"To get fatter than you are now?"
The cookie she had in her hand was crushed by her strength. "I'm sorry did you just-"
Lin instantly stood between. The color from his face had drained and his blobs were hiding behind him. Shaking in terror. Mai however had the sweetest smile on and if her charming point on her hand didn't show (angry veins) Lin would had been fooled.
"Taniyama-san..." Lin had interrupted her but he didn't know what to say.
"It's alright, ne~ Naru would you be so kind to repeat what you just said?" She nearly sang the words out.
Naru smirked and was about to open his mouth when the bell from the door rang.
*Tch* she clicked her tongue, and turned to welcome the guest. It was another teenager wearing the uniform of the same highschool than the one from before.
Lin automatically disappeared back to his office. The cold sweat however still ran through his back.
The tall stoic man turned to look at his shiki. It was because of them, why did they reacted that way. Lin had already met terrifying women, specially one of his co-workers and the most they did was flinch. He sighed and shook his hands before typing in his computer. He will pretend it never happened...
By the end of the day, Lin catched an unusual sight. His shiki were snuggling and purring around her. She held her hand to one, and this one snuggled between her fingers. It slid up and down, passing through the spaces without issue. Just like a small coin but this one, was a tennis ball size blob that seemed to melt.
Lin blinked twice. The paper he had fell down from his hand.
"Ah Lin-san! I'm sorry. I won't do it again!" Mai bowed and picked her stuff up, bowed again and left for the day.
Once she was out. Lin's expression suddenly turned serious. His blobs straightened up and returned to him. He picked the paper up and with a new aura surrounding him, he went back to his office.
...
The next day, Mai turned to look at her desk. She had 3 request from the same highschool.
"Yuasa High School. It is an all girls private high school near Tokyo" she muttered out loud.
"Mai, tea" her boss called out.
"Coming!"
When she returned Naru was sitting on the couch. She set his cup in front of him.
"They keep piling up" she pointed towards her desk.
"Well, it is your job to clean the dust up"
"That's not what I meant and you know it"
"Just throw them out. I won't take them"
"They're from the same high school"
"I don't care" Naru crossed his legs and opened a book.
*Ring* once again, the bell from the door, interrupted their conversation.
"Yo~ Mai-chan! How are you doing?" A male voice called out.
She blinked twice. She had unconsciously stepped closer to Naru.
"Yo~ Naru-chan! Long time no see"
"Ah Bou-san! A second there I couldn't recognize you. Is that your band outfit?" Mai took his hat off and tried to put it on. But it covered her eyes.
His outfit was a Black hat, black sunglasses, and a hot pink t-shirt that he was wearing beneath his coat.
"Yup! Look, here's my bass guitar" he pointed it out
She put his hat away and leaned her head to the right. "You don't sing?"
"Not much, I thought I told you on our date last week. I'm a bass player. Our back up band just had a concert"
"Ah gomen! I was in a daze after the movie" she scratched her head.
"Well that will explain why you said yes to a second date" he smirked.
"No sir! That just there is a big fat lie" Mai put her hands on her hips and slightly glared at him.
"Eh? Are you against it?" The Monk looked shocked.
"If you aren't aware. My office is not a coffee shop." Naru closed the book he was trying to read. Interrupting their conversation.
"Ah. That's right, the reason I'm here is because of a case"
Naru raised an eyebrow.
"I mean it. It sounds like a complicated case, so I thought I'd borrow your knowledge." Bou-san clarified what he meant.
Mai put the ice coffee that the Monk had asked in front of him and took a seat next to Naru. She had given him tea.
"Actually—this a request from a fan of my band... " He stopped to get some air but continued his announcement like a TV newsman. "It's a request from one of my fans, Taka. She's a high school student, and there are some weird things happening at her school. I have a bad feeling about it." He drank some coffee.
"That girl said that there's a desk in her room that's cursed. In the past three months, the people who've sat in that desk all had accidents."
At first Naru told him it sounded like cliche but the Monk went on in detail. He mentioned that 4 girls were dragged by a train in the same way and 3 had the same injuries. While the other one had slight injuries.
Naru's hard gaze showed that he was deep in thought.
"And that's not all. One of the girl's teacher used an art prep room, but then a ghost showed up and the teacher was sent to the hospital. He's still vomiting blood, but no one knows why."
"Wow, that's strange" Mai rubbed her arms.
"You think so? There seems to be a lot of strange incidents happening at that school. It's not just a simple ghost story. There seems to be other accidents and illnesses going on in ther school. That girl also said..."
Before he continued Mai stood up. She took her papers from her desk... "Nee Bou-san...Is the school 'Yuasa High School'...?"
The monk looked back at her in surprise. "What...? It is Yuasa High School. How did you know?"
"We got 3 request yesterday" she showed them up in the air.
Bou-san snatched the piece of paper. "This request..."
"Naru rejected them, but I took their contact information in case you or John wanted to help." She answered him before he could ask
"There's no way this could be a coincidence," Bou-san declared.
Naru didn't respond, he was thinking hard.
Just then, the door opened and a guest walked in. He bowed and presented Mai his business card. As he introduced himself.
" I am Noboru Mikami, principal of private school: 'Yuasa High School'" he bowed to Naru and Bou-san "There have been a number of strange incidents happening at my school, so I was wondering if I could request an investigation."
Ouch this was short. I had to cut it, otherwise it would had felt rushed. Specially to what I will add. Remember In my version I some times jump events so I highly recommend to read the LN just in case you wish to get more details. I will try to update this week but I can't promise I'm doing this on breaks so they may be short. Gomen!
