In a flashback, 10 years ago, at the old Rose Hotel, a young Kindaichi (was 7 years old), was been rescued by Rosa Lilac, from being trapped on the fire in inside the hotel.
A hours later, he was at the hospital, was lying on a bed. He saw his mother along with young Miyuki by his side. She was at the same age as Kindaichi does.
" Where am I? " Young Kindaichi asked, wondering
" You were in the hospital, son. I'm so glad that you are fine. I'm so very worried that you had been trapped in inside the hotel. " his mother answered in response
" Are you feeling better now, Hajime? " Young Miyuki asked
" Yes, I'm fine, Miyuki. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine, really. " Young Kindaichi answered
That moment, he turned around his head, looking for something, in around the hospital.
" What's the matter, son? Are you looking for something? " his mother asked
" I don't see her anywhere. " Young Kindaichi said, still looking around, in a low tone voice manner
" What did you just say, son? " his mother asked him again, in curiosity
" I don't see Miss Rosa anywhere. " Young Kindaichi said in response, with anxiously expression on his face
" Who was that Miss Rosa anyway, Hajime? " Young Miyuki asked
" She was a great musician performer and a composer too. She's the one who saved my life from being trapped on the fire. She was a kind and generous person. Can you tell me where she was? Is she was still alive? " Young Kindaichi said
But their faces turned saddened.
" Um, I'm so very sorry, son. I'm afraid that the rescuers didn't found her body. I'm afraid that she might be dead in the fire too. It's was already too late. " his mother said to him
Making him to shocked in grief, said with strong emotions " No... it can't be... it can't be true! She will never died on the fire! She's the one who saved me. She was my savior! I can't accept that she was gone for good. I can't! " and he covered his face with both of his hands, crying in tears, with anguish emotions
But Young Miyuki comforts him, said " Don't need to get cry just like that, Hajime. Just accepted it that Miss Rosa was gone away. I'm still here for you and to support you no matter what it's takes. "
" You think so? " Young Kindaichi asked
" Of course, I'll promise. " Young Miyuki said, with a smiling expression on her face
" You are the best person ever, Miyuki. I couldn't be like this without you in my life. " Young Kindaichi said, hugged her
But unbeknownst to him and to everyone inside, Rosa, was secretly heard the conversation, in behind the walls of the hospital, started to feel desperate that Kindaichi thought that she was already dead, and so, she leaves the place, to lived a brand new life and she will find a way, in order to reunited with Kindaichi once again in the future.
Return back to the present time, Kindaichi was lying down in a large bed in the hotel room, still can't able to sleep, because he fears that Black Masked Rose (Rosa Lilac) might get him by midnight. He recalled on his mind about of what the masked figure said that she will killed anyone, if he's still refuses to come with her. After he had recalled everything on his mind, he thought " I never thought that I will able to forget her because I thought that she was gone in this world but why she was still alive until today?... What she really wants from me? To be with her? But still... I couldn't forget my friends and even Miyuki as well. What should I do next? " and he looks at the wall clock on the top wall, and he thought again on his mind, wondering " I wondered of what Tom and Jerry and the others are up to. I hope they could make a counter strike plan so soon. "
Back at the downstairs, in outside of the hotel, every police officers and securities were guarding in every parts of Kyoto Hotel, to make sure that Black Masked Rose (Rosa Lilac) will never get near inside, to get Kindaichi.
" Are you really sure about this plan, Jerry boy? " Inspector Kenmochi asked
" Don't need to be worried too much, Inspector. I had already told Tom to guard the room where Kindaichi was staying at. The other guests should be stayed permanently in their respective rooms so that they will be safe away from Black Masked Rose's killing attempts. " Jerry said in response
" Very impressive plan, Mr Detective Jerry. But do you think it was necessary for that masked woman to get near even though we got some many police securities that were been placed in every part of the hotel? " Akechi asked
" There were some CCTV cameras placed in the entire hotel. I had already told Mr Aldrich to covered up, in order to secured the entire place and to know if she was coming or not. Then, we should set up a trap for her. The other guests should be stayed in their respective rooms, for private securities. " Jerry said in response
Rika, approached to them, asked " Is everything were set up? "
" All done, Miss Rika. My best pal Tom will be guarding Kindaichi's room, so that he will gonna make sure that the Black Masked Rose will never entered inside the hotel. " Jerry answered in response
" Okay, if you insist so, but I will make sure that Mayumi will never get near here. " Rika said, with a cautious expression on her face, turned her head around, watching at every corner
" You are quite very alert that much, Miss Rika. I like it that way. " Jerry said
" Thanks, Jerry. " Rika said, with a smile on her face
A police officer approached to them, said to Jerry " They are all ready set up, Detective. "
" Good. Just go in your respective positions immediately. " Jerry commanded
" Yes, we will, Detective. " the police officer responded
And the police officer left. Miyuki, went to them, asked " Uh, what's this? A set up plan against Black Masked Rose? "
" Yes, Miss Nanase. We need to make sure that the Black Masked Rose will never entered here in the hotel, to get near to Kindaichi. Tom was guarding the room where he was staying at. Jerry had planned this so that we should tracked her down in a secret trap. " Chazz answered in response, walked towards to them
" Oh, I see about that. I hope that she will never get Hajime for sure. After all, that woman couldn't forget all about him. " Miyuki said
" What do you mean by that, Miss Nanase? " Chazz asked, turned his head to her
" She was the one who saved his life from being trapped in the fire in that old Rose Hotel 10 years ago. " Miyuki answered
Jerry and the others were shocked in surprised of what Miyuki said.
" Miss Rosa Lilac was the one who saved Mr Kindaichi?! " Inspector Kenmochi asked, with a surprising expression
" Is that really true, Miyuki? " Jerry asked
" Yes, Hajime told me that he was been saved by Rosa from being trapped in inside of the hotel. When me and his mom told him that Rosa was dead as well, he was started to crying for the very first time in his life, that he couldn't believe that she was dead. And so, I told him that I will still support him even though that Rosa was gone. But somehow, I thought in my mind that Miss Rosa was still survived and alive until Hajime grown up when we went in a same high school university. " Miyuki stated
" You mean Fudo High School University, right? I had been heard of it that your school was very famous for all board games. " Rika asked, correcting her
" Yes, you're right, Miss Rika. Hajime and I were in fourth year now and we will graduated next year. " Miyuki said in response
" I'll had finally get it now. " Jerry said, in a thoughtful manner
" What do you mean by that, Mr Detective Jerry? " Akechi asked
" I do really thinked in my mind that Black Masked Rose... no... Rosa Lilac... was secretly fall in love to Master Kindaichi from the very start that they met with each other from before. Do you guys are really think the same thing too? " Jerry said
" Miss Rosa was secretly fall in love to Hajime? But do you have any clue or evidence to proved that she was really fall in love to him? " Miyuki asked, with curiosity
" Here's the proof. " Chazz said, shown the note paper
" What was that? a note? " Miyuki asked again
He handled the note paper to her (Note: the same note paper that Jerry and Chazz found at the crime scene room from the previous chapter (6)). She read on what it was says and then she was surprised.
" This writing... was written in French? Miss Rosa can learned that kind of language? I can't believe it. " Miyuki asked
" Yes, that writing was translated as " I had been loved you so much. " . That's explained it that Miss Rosa was secretly in love to Master Kindaichi. That's was the proof. Chazz and I had found that at the crime scene where Miss Rebecca was murdered few days ago. " Jerry stated
" Kindaichi never knows about that because he was still unconscious at that time when he saw a red rose petal on the floor in Miss Rebecca's room a days ago. " Chazz said
" So... that's means... her actual plan to make him returned back to her? " Miyuki asked
" Exactly it is, Miyuki. But we can't let her to get him away from us. " Jerry said
" I hope it will never happened. " Miyuki said, with a hopeful expression on her face
A hour later, everyone were waited and secured the entire hotel. But suddenly, the lights of every parts of the hotel were suddenly turned pitch black out. Everyone were wondered of what was really going on.
" A black out? " Chazz wondered
" I think someone turned off the breaker in under the basement, it seems. " Miyuki said
But Jerry, didn't move around, felt something very suspicious from inside of the hotel.
" Do you see something, Jerry boy? " Inspector Kenmochi asked
" I felt something... " Jerry uttered
" felt something, of what? " Chazz asked
A minute later, the lights were turned back on.
" The lights turned back on. That's was very quick as usual. " Rika said
" What was really going on? " Miyuki wondered
But Tom runned out of the hotel, in a panicked manner, has some bruises and wound on his shoulder, making Jerry and the others were surprised in horror.
" pal, what's the matter? Why you got some many bruises and wound on your shoulder? Where's Master Kindaichi? " Jerry asked
" Jerry, Master Kindaichi was been taken by the Black Masked Rose! " Tom said in response
" Say what?! " Jerry asked, with a shocking expression on his face
Chazz and the others were shocked of what Tom said.
" But how it was happened, Thomas? " Inspector Kenmochi asked
" While he and I were taking a rest on the room, but suddenly, the lights were turned off immediately. After a few seconds, the Black Masked Rose appeared before me and Master Kindaichi, holding a weapon on her hand. I tried to fight her back using my gun but I was been terribly hitted by her weapon. I can't able to move faster, because she was so very tough and clever. Before I could gained consciousness, I heard Kindaichi's scream. I tried to catch him up but I failed that he was almost caught by Black Masked Rose... I mean... Rosa Lilac. Before he will ended up being captured, he told me that he should tell to Jerry and the others to solved the case as soon as possible and also... he told me that Chazz Princeton should take over to solved the case while we were went on to find him. " Tom said in response
" Huh? Why me, Tom? I'm not very well in solving a difficult case just like this. I don't know how. " Chazz asked, with curiosity
" Because he believes that you are the most brilliant detective even though you are a Pro League duelist. He will gonna relied on you always as long as we rescued him from Rosa at all cost. " Tom said to him
" I think Tom got the point there. You looked exactly like Kindaichi does, has intelligent and doesn't afraid of anything of dangers and risks that occurs in. " Inspector Kenmochi said
" Come on, Chazz. Hajime was counting on you. I know that you can do it. " Miyuki said, insists him
He nodded his head, paused for a moment in silent manner, recalled that he had solved the " Dark Scorpions " robbery case in Duel Academy from before. After a few seconds, he finally responded " Okay, I will do it just for Mr Hajime Kindaichi. "
" That's the spirit, Chazz. " Jerry said
" Now that Rosa had captured Kindaichi. I guess we need an another better counter strike plan, in order to rescued him and to lured her into our trap. " Rika stated
" That's was a great idea, Rika. So, any plans do you have in your mind now, Mr Detective Jerry? " Akechi asked
" Well... now that she had captured Master Kindaichi, we need to find some more clues to know where he was. But for now, Chazz should poised and dressed up as Master Hajime Kindaichi to solved the case so that his other friends and the other guests might never recognized his true secret identity except besides us. " Jerry said
" Okay, so... where we gonna start first, Jerry? " Chazz asked
" I got a better idea " Jerry responded, in a thoughtful manner
Now that Hajime Kindaichi had been mysteriously captured by the Black Masked Rose (Rosa Lilac) in the midst of the dark, the detectives pair were going to plan B, to make a better counter strike plan, in order to rescued Kindaichi and captured Black Masked Rose (Rosa Lilac) in a secret trap.
