First off, many thanks to those who reviewed this fic, I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the current story arc picks up where the last chapter left, in which Hagakure gets frantic about his mom went missing, and then finds help, where he turn to his classmates for assistance, and that's where the adventure commences, so read on and enjoy!

The next morning, the scene shifts to the several areas of Tokyo, and there you get to see many of Hope's Peak Academy students getting up, and are busy with today's activities, and many of them are looking forward to what they are going to do, and one by one, each of the academy students are getting ready to commence their activities, and they are now leaving their homes and are heading towards their destinations:

- Togami going to office to attend a meeting

- Celes going to Roppongi to gamble at a gambling joint

- Asahina meeting up with Ohgami

- Maizono going to a studio to record a song with her idol band

None of them are aware that Hagakure is having problems of his own and they remain oblivious to it as each of them are doing their activities to spend their summer vacation time.

Believe It Or Not by Joey Scarbury
(Opening Song from The Greatest American Hero)

Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself;
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
Should've been somebody else.

Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.

Just like the light of new day,
It hit me from out of the blue;
Breakin' me out of the spell I was in,
Makin' all of my wishes come true.

Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.

Ch. 52: Herupu ni Tsuite wa Shāman no Tangan

The scene shifts at the house where Hagakure lives, and he woke up, where you can see that he didn't get much sleep, due to staying up late at night after going to the police station, where he told the police about his mother going missing, and he is somewhat dismayed when told that the police couldn't do anything at this point as they will have to wait after 24 hours before they can make their move, and until then, the police chief told Hagakure to wait until the 24-hour limit is up, and advised Hagakure to go home and get some rest.

Hagakure sighed as he felt that he couldn't do anything right now except wait, and he decided to unwind himself and leaves the house, locking the door and walked the neighborhood, looking at the skies and silently prayed that there would be a breakthrough in the case, and hoped that his mom is safe and unharmed. He couldn't do anything without her and felt helpless and wished he could do something to find her no matter what. As he is walking, he is greeted by some people who were his customers in the fortune reading business.

"Hey!"

"Yasuhiro-kun!"

"What's up?"

"You looked pale..."

"Um...I'm fine..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah...gotta go now..."

"Okay..."

After that, Hagakure walked back to his house, and there he saw the house door had been forcibly opened again, and when he went inside, he is shaken that the inside of the house is again in disarray and he called the police and told them about it, and within several minutes, police arrived, cordoned the area, and investigated the house, and after several minutes the police said that there were no witnesses, no valuables lost, and told Hagakure to get a stronger doorknob, which Hagakure is dismayed at what he was told.

"Eh? That's all?"

"You got a problem?"

"But what about my mom?"

"Wait for 24 hours...if nothing else turn up...the we will investigate..."

"..."

"Go get a metal door instead of a wood..."

"..."

"..."

The police left and Hagakure is dismayed feeling hat the police is useless, and he paced around, thinking of something, and there an idea came to his head and took out his cellphone and dialed a few numbers, calling someone, and a minute later, he number was connected and Hagakure is talking to someone, and that person turn out to be none other than Kyoko Kirigiri, and he began talking to her, telling the situation and he is hoping that she would help him, and though she declined, he begged and pleaded to her for help, saying that there may be a connection with the burglary and his missing mother, and said he us willing to pay her, and seeing how persistent Hagakure is, Kirigiri decided to accept his request.

"Please, Kirigir-chi!"

"..."

"..."

"Alright...I'll accept your request..."

"Really?"

"Yes..."

"Thank you!"

"..."

Hagakure felt relieved that she accepted her request and gave her the route to his house, and he is told not to touch anything there and wait for her arrival. After 30 minutes, the Super Duper High School Detective arrived, and there she saw the mess the house is in, and there she went to the point and asks him what went on before his mother went missing and the events occurred before the house was ransacked, and there he told her everything that happened before the situation that took place, and she began going around the house, checking every room, seeing that all the cabinets were opened, clothes and items sprawled, and all valuables intact.

Kirigiri wondered why would someone want to ransack a house as it is not posh or has any valuables, and deduced that the burglars are looking for something, and asks her classmates if he has anything valuable, in which he denies, and said that his mom is working clean, and she became more suspicious, and wondered if there is more to this case than meets the eye, and she picked up her cellphone and called someone, and soon the person she is calling is none other than Makoto Naegi, and Naegi is told of the situation and she is asking for his help, and requested to come at Hagakure's house, and bring the red suit with him.

Of course, Naegi is not pleased at the idea of bringing the red suit with him after he had his recent use when he went to Croatia to save Maizono from a cult, which he wanted to escape from using the suit after that last "adventure".

"EEEHHH?!"

"You don't need to shout, Naegi-kun..."

"I DON'T WANT TO USAE THAT SUIT FOR ANOTHER WEEK!"

"It's needed..and someone needs help..."

"THEN CALL THE POLICE!"

"Hagakure-san did that...and he went to me for help...and I believe your help is needed...think of it was helping someone in need..."

"GGGEEEEEZZZ!"

"..."

Naegi moaned in frustration as he realized that he is going to put on the red suit again, something he tried to avoid after donning it a few weeks ago when he and Kirigiri went to Croatia to find and rescue Maizono, and he tries to talk his way out, with little success, as she gently prodded him to accept the request as she believes that there is a connection between Hiroko's disappearance and the burglary at Hagakure's house, and after hearing Hagakure's pleading, the Luckster reluctantly accepted. He turns off the cellphone and went to the cabinet, took out a box, and brought out the red suit, white belt, and a black cape, in which he puts it on, then puts on his casual clothes and leaves the house, wondering what situation is he going to encounter next.

-x-

About 40 minutes later, Naegi arrived at Hagakure's house and he is greeted by Hagakure and there Kirigiri told Naegi about the situation, and whispered to him that the reason she told him to wear the red suit is because she had a feeling that the burglars may be after something by ransacking the house and that there may be connected to Hiroko's disappearance, and told him to touch any of the sprawled items and try to get some VIBES, believing that he might pick up something, and Naegi reluctantly did so, and he touched a fallen cloth, where his eyes started to twitch and gets a holographic image which only Naegi can SEE, and there he whispered to Kirigiri what he just SAW.

"Well...?"

"I see...two men..."

"Two men?"

"Yeah..."

"Are they...?"

"Looks like it...they are at..."

"...okay...I got it..."

"..."

Kirigiri was told discreetly that Naegi SAW two men ard entering a company building within Tokyo Business District, and got the name of the building, identified as Technotronica, and she opened her cellphone which has internet connection, and after checking it, she found out that Technotronica is a company that specializes in making high technological items and weapons, and there she told Hagakure to stay here as she told Naegi to come with her and the two teens leave the house, boarding her car, and they head off towards the Tokyo Business District to find the two men and see if they could get some answers from them.

-x-

About 20 minutes later, the two teens arrived at the parking lot of Technotronica, and there she asks Naegi to SEE what is going on inside the building, and Naegi concentrated hard, and a minute later, he gets a holographic image, where he SEES a pair of men ransacking an office at the 5th floor of the building, as if they were looking for something, and there a guard came in and is about to accost them but is overpowered and disabled and the two men continued in searching for something, and Naegi told Kirigiri what he just SAW, and she deduced that the men inside the building are the men who ransacked Hagakure's house earlier.

"That's them..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah..."

"Okay..."

"Huh?"

"I'm going in..."

"Eh?"

"..."

Kirigiri then stepped out of the car and told Naegi to get ready as she ran towards the building to intercept the two men while Naegi removes his upper clothing, to reveal the red suit and cape he is wearing, but then luck struck him as his pants got stuck between his ankles, and he struggled to get them off his ankles which turn out to be quite difficult, and he is getting irritated at this fact and is starting to wonder if he should buy stretchable pants or not. After a minute, he finally got free and removed the pants, then loaded his clothes inside the car, ran a few steps then jumped and flew, where he is heading straight towards the 5th floor's window and he realized that he still couldn't control his flight and his collision towards the window is imminent.

"WWWWAAHHHH!"

Naegi ended up crashing against the window and yet he got inside and landed onto the two men, and tosses them aside, and as the two men drew their guns, Naegi grabbed the first guy and threw him against the wall, disabling him, then the other guy opened fire, and Naegi covered his head with his arms which the red suit protected him from the hail of bullets, and the guy kept firing as he has no intention of getting caught, yet he is surprised to see that Naegi is still standing and is bothered at seeing him wearing a pair of pajamas and a cape, and Naegi tells the guy to surrender, which he rebutted.

"Give it up!"

"Bullshit!"

"I mean it!"

"Go to hell!"

"..."

"I'm not scared of a kid wearing pajamas!"

"..."

"I'll kill you!"

By then Kirigiri came in, and seeing the guy distracted, she took the opportunity to grapple with he guy and this allowed Naegi to grab the guy's gun and used his bare hand to crush it to pieces, and then she found a duct tape and tied the two men's wrists together and escorted them out via the elevator, and then they went to the parking lot, where she began interrogating them, in which she asks them what were they doing there at Technotronica and asks if they were the ones who ransacked Hagakure's house, in which the man, identified only as Merbu, replied in defiance.

"...are you the one?"

"Bitch!"

"..."

"I ain't talking to some detective bitch and a brat wearing pajamas!"

"..."

"We ain't talking, right Renny?"

"Is that so?"

"Got a problem, bitch?"

Kirigiri sees that interrogating him would be difficult, but then noticed the other guy, identified as Renny, appeared nervous, and she got an idea and whispered to Naegi her idea and Naegi seemed to be hesitant, seeing where this would lead to, but she gently prodded him to go along with her plan in order to get some information form Renny.

"You got to be kidding...!"

"I'm not..."

"But..."

"We need to get answers...and this guy here may be the key in finding Hagakure's mom..."

"..."

"Please, Naegi-kun..."

"Oh...okay..."

"..."

Seeing that there is no other way, Naegi reluctantly agreed and removes he tape, hoisted Renny over his shoulder and jumped up hard, where they both flew in the air and landed onto the 10th floor of the building's edge near the window, and Renny stared wide-eyed in horror, revealing that he has a phobia on heights, and begged Naegi to bring him down, but the teen jumped and landed on the 11th floor near the window and began telling him the condition before he accepts the request.

"Okay then..."

"How...how did you do that?"

"..."

"Please..get me down..."

"Answer some questions first..."

"I don't know anything...!"

"..."

"Please...!"

To Be Continued...
