Chapter 4

After about 1.5 hours, a car arrived in front of the entrance gate of Holmes Academy . The driver came down and opened the passenger door, and one by one Milky Holmes members out of the car.

" uu ..." Nero murmured .

" H ...Hold on..." Hercule murmured .

Sherlock, who was at the front when getting out of the car, started walking followed by the others. But she then left behind. Her step was very slow. She followed Hercule and leaned her face against Hercule's back .

"Well ... see you later ... eh ...?"

" It's ... it's okay, we've arrived, you can go ..." Nero murmured.

Uh ... but ... "

"UWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH ... !"

All members of Milky Holmes fell to the ground.

"HAAAAAH ..." Sherlock murmured . She just drank tap water in the yard near the entrance to the academy building. She then drained her hand and then washed her face.

"HAAH ..." Sherlock murmured again.

" Sheryl ..."

"OK" Sherlock said as she shifted from that place.

After a few minutes, Milky Holmes members sat down on the long iron seat. The driver who had been near them then asked permission to leave.

"Yes ... thank you ..."

" Bye-bye ..."

" Bye ..."

Then the driver disappeared from view.

"Ah ... it's already dark ..." Sherlock said .

"You're right ..." Nero murmured .

"..."

"eh ..."

"... I think we should hurry back ..." Hercule murmured .

"Geez ..." Nero murmured .

" ehehehehe ..."

And they went back and walked into the academy.

The night passed. In the morning, a woman was seen walking gracefully. When there was a ladder in front of her, she turns. She climbs the stairs to the top . After reaching the end of the stairs she walked again. Nothing's changed. She then walked toward a door. She then passed it. She then approached another door. Then she passed it. Finally she passed through all the doors. She paused for a moment. She looked at the doors she had passed and watch in her left hand, then sighed. She then walked back down the stairs earlier. The sound of steps slowly disappeared.

CLICK!

A door opened.

"Good morning !"

"Morning!"

"M-Morning ..."

"Nyah…., let's ... eh? Wait ..."

"Eh ...?"

"Like ... is there something missing ?" murmured Sherlock, looking towards Nero and Hercule .

"Hm ... it seems not..."

"Whatever..., let's go !"

" Yeah ...!" said Nero and Hercule together.

"So ... if you want your toys to run optimally when ..."

SRRUUUUUDD ... !

The classroom door opened slowly.

"Oh ... who is that?"

"Good ... Good morning ..." Hercule murmured with a dull face.

"Oh? OOOOOOOHHH ! MILKY HOLMES ! Why ... why are you late again ? It's been 1,000,621 times you are late ... How long... How long you will be like this ? ! OOOOOOOOOOHHH ! HOW LONG ? IF THIS STILL CONTINUE, I CAN'T GET OUT THE WHOLE BEAUTY AND & # %% % % AGAIN ! AND YOU'LL "

SRUD !

"Eh?"

In a hallway in the Holmes Academy building, 3 girls leaned on the wall. Not far from there were several classroom doors and the voice of an excited man from within a class.

" Huh ... I thought we could come in ..." Sherlock muttered .

"What else can we do? We are late and our uniforms are ..."

"Wet..."

The three of them took a deep breath.

"Oh ... what are you doing?" murmured someone who suddenly appeared near Hercule .

"Eh ?!" Hercule looked shocked.

" Henriette- san !" Sherlock shouted .

"Help us, Henriette- san ... we ..."

" Well ... okay ... you change your clothes and go to the student council room immediately, understand?"

"Oh ..."

"Thank you, Henriette- san ..." the three of them said together.

After changing clothes, the three of them came out of their room, and walked towards the student council room. After a few minutes, they arrived at the front door of room. Hercule opened the door and entered inside followed by two other people.

"Good morning, Henriette- san ..."

"Morning..."

"It's nice to meet you again ..."

After that Henriette who was standing near the window, then walked and then sat on the chair. She also invited Milky Holmes to sit on the chair that had been provided before .

"Well ... how about it? Have you guys made any progress on this case?" Henriette asked.

"Uh ... unfortunately ..." Hercule murmured .

"Eh? Why?" Henriette asked.

"Uh ... actually ..." Sherlock murmured .

"We found something ..."

"When heading to the scene of the crime scene, the scene of the crime scene was not so noisy, even though it should be in a place like the airport, if there is a crime, even on a small scale there should be a widespread response in a short time ..." said Nero .

"Hm ... then?" Henriette asked.

"This is also strange ..." murmured Hercule .

"Besides what Nero said , something quite strange happened again ..."

"While at the airport and heading for one of the rooms, we met Phantom Thief Empire and fought them ..."

"But I noticed, there were no hostages or else something alongside Phantom Thief Empire, besides…. Phantom Thief Empire to a kidnapping ... it feels pretty weird ..."

" Hmm ... maybe ... then?"

"Actually ... uh ..."

"Maybe ... this is a little ..."

"But! I found something!" Sherlock said . She then pulled something out of her pocket.

"Here!"

"EEEEEHHH ?" said Hercule and Nero together.

"This is what I found ... eh ... Well ! This is an important clue left by Phantom Thief Empire !"

" Here , there is an article, but only a letter, here it's written… K, only that " Sherlock said .

"Although it's still a supposition…but I think this is an important clue " said Sherlock concluded.

" Hmm ..." Henriette looked silent for a few moments. She slowly smiled.

"Alright ... then?"

"..." Henriette was silent for a few moments.

"Then ?"

"Eh?"

"Why ?"

"Co ... Cordelia ...? Where is Cordelia ? !" Sherlock shouted that made the atmosphere change immediately.

" Hey , Nero ! Where is Cordelia ? !" Sherlock shouted , then rocked Nero's body .

"... Y-You ... I ... I also want to ask ... where... Cordelia ..." said Nero while her body rocked.

" Cordelia ... no ... it can't be ..." said Hercule with runny eyes.

"What is this ?!" said Henriette.

"What's wrong with you all? Why are your members decreasing?"

"…."

" Heh ..." Henriette sighed deeply.

" Sherlock, answer my question! How come this team have one less member ?!"

"e ... uh ... actually ..."

Then Sherlock explained that yesterday they visited a regional police station. Where was the advice from their friend, Clarice . After that they met with the head of the regional office. After that they also met G4.

"When we just separated from G4, Cordelia asked me to wait for a while because she was about to take something ..."

"I didn't think about it that much because we were a team, that's why she would come back ..."

"Until finally we headed for the vehicle that was picking us up, we were told to get on immediately because it was getting late, we didn't refuse and went home afterwards ..."

"You guys ... are you all ..." Henriette murmured.

"We ... we understand that we are guilty ... because of that, we, especially me, are responsible for this incident ..."

"We will definitely find Cordelia again!" Sherlock said .

A moment later, a sound came from a cellphone . Henriette then checks her cellphone . Her face suddenly changed slightly. She then pressed a button and take the cellphone to her right ear.

" Hello ..."

"..."

"Eh ... ?"

Henriette swallowed. Her face turned tense. She then signaled to the three members of Milky Holmes to approached. She then pressed a button.

Hi you all...

Especially the student council president ... Henriette Mystere ...

Today is a sunny day ...

Hopefully it will, but ...

Only for us ...

Because now , a child is already in us, right?

Cordelia Glauca ...

(Then someone's voice that not very clear can be heared)

Therefore, come to the place we showed you if you want this child to be safe ...

See you later...

W-Wait ! "Henriette shouted.

The phone had been disconnected. After that a short ringtone.

"This ..." Henriette muttered as she looked at her cellphone.

"This ... is the address ..."

" Where ?! Where ?! Henriette- san !" Nero shouted .

"..."

" Milky Holmes ..."

"This ... might not be the thing you want ... but ..."

"Can you accept it ?"

"Henriette- san ..." murmured Hercule .

" Here the address was said by the caller ... because of that ..."

"Find Cordelia ! And beat the culprit !"

"Okay, student council president Henriette- san ! " said the student at the same time.

Inside a fairly small police station room, a girl with wavy golden blonde hair sat leaning back in her chair. She looked rather weak. Her face was rather glazed. She saw towards the cooler to the top with a blank stare. A moment later she slowly moved one foot on the table.

" Heh ..."

"Boring..."

"Being alone in a place like this ..."

She then looked at several tables in front of her . It was looked empty.

"Somehow ... these past few days ... a lot of strange events ..."

"Now..."

"Even ... sensei also disappeared ..."

"..."

Then slowly the door to the room opened. A male police officer who was still quite young entered the room. He walked and approached Kokoro . After that he bowed for a while.

"What's again..."

" Kokoro-senpai ..." the man muttered.

"Oh? Apparently you ..."

"I have finished the task ..."

"O…oh…."

" I see ... then?"

"Here, I have secured all the files ..."

" Hmm ..."

A large envelope, which was wrapped in plastic, was in the hands of the male police.

"How is it? Kokoro-senpai ?"

"..."

"Alright ... just put it here ..."

"Yes..."

After putting it on the table, the young policeman excused himself and then left the room.

"..."

She looked at the envelope for a moment. After that she began to opened it. One by one she opened each of the contents of the envelope. While she was taking the contents of the envelope, a small piece of paper fell and lay on the table. She turned toward the small paper . She looked at it for a moment. Then she took the small paper.

"..."

"This..."

"..."

"... C ... ?"

"What does it mean...?"

After that she put the paper into her uniform pocket.
