I: Ah! Gomen, gomen!!! I've got a really, really, really good excuse this time!
Katie: Anime caused total chaos at her school, thus forcing her father to ban her from any/all Anime/Manga until she went back to school… This made it pass over the weekend that she was planning on updating on…
Ketia: Fun, no?
Anime: Oh, no disclaimer this time since this Author's note is gonna be on top of both of "Sasuke Went Down to Georgia" and "Underworld"… Call it me being too lazy…
Katie: Or just saving time…
Ketia: Whatever the case…
-------------------------- Whee! Begin! ---------------------------------------------------------------
As the crowd began to disappear, the only people left were Ryu, Kyu, the senior Kintaro, and freshman Kazuma. Kinta noticed Ryu first as he called out, "Oi! Ryu! Mind helping us with this riddle? It's all Greek to me…" Kazuma sighed in weariness, "Kinta… That wasn't very funny…" Kintaro merely arched a brow in confusion. "What do you mean it wasn't funny? Was it suppose to be?" This caused Kazuma to groan in frustration, "Anyways! Ryu… Help…?"
Ryu sighed as he nodded once, which seemed to be good enough for the comedy duo, since Kazuma continued. "Okay… It's a riddle from Greece that the Sphinx apparently spoke… It goes:
There was once a traveler who met up with the Sphinx. Afterwards, the traveler met up with a man in the desert with seven camels, each with seven bundles with seven warbles. How many creatures did the Sphinx meet?"
(Why don't you try and figure it out before reading ahead? It's quite easy when typed out compared to spoken aloud…)
Ryu sighed softly as he listened to this. In his mind, he began processing the information before a small smile reached his lips. It was easy. However, it seemed that a voice sounding strangely familiar answered exactly the same as he. "The answer is one…" It was then that his head jerked over to notice Kyu staring at him with large eyes. However, he noticed that those wide eyes held the same evident shock he had.
"Whoa…" Was all Kinta could say as he and Kazuma looked upon the most strangest sight in DA history. In the Dan's Academy Detective Club (DADC for short…) Ryu was the one to solve most all their cases before anyone could even grasp the concept! But, for someone to be on the same level as him was… Impossible… Wasn't it? Apparently, that wasn't so…
"Uh-um…. How did you get that conclusion?" Kazuma weakly asked, hoping it would dissolve the tension that just rose and thickened. Kyu seemed to have snapped out of his stupor, though, as a blush adorned his cheeks. In a stuttering tone, he began to explain. "W-well… The question was 'How many creatures did the Sphinx meet', right? W-well then… The Sphinx only met the traveler… The man in the desert with his c-camels and warbles and such had met up with the traveler a-after the initial meeting between traveler and Sphinx R-Right, Ryu?"
At the hesitant glance Kyu gave to his way, Ryu sighed, nodding as he said, "Correct…" This caused a smile to appear on Kyu's face as his blush seemed to have been disappearing. That is, until Kinta said, "Hey, kid… What's you name, anyhow?" "Ah! I-It's Kyu…" "Well then, Kyu… Name's Kinta… How 'bout after school today you get introduced to our DADC club? Seems like you'd fit in, anyways…"

I: Gah… It's so short!!!
Katie: That's because you wanted to do the club meeting as a separate chapter…
Ketia: Geez… Took you long enough to type at least this out…
I: T-T I know…
