Title: A Wish upon a Detective, Chapter 3

Hiyohiyo's theater: To think that they will use an impostor to hurt Ayumu…who's behind all these? And Rio…what happened to her? What will happen next? Ayumu…fight back!

That's all for Hiyohiyo's theater. Thank you.

Truthful Lies

Ayumu narrating…

That girl is now pointing her gun directly on my head. Riyoko and Kouske are both tied up and strictly guarded by those men. In less than three minutes, the three of us fainted. It appeared to me that we're poisoned by a scent released by the bullet.

When I opened my eyes, I found Kouske and Riyoko sleeping soundly.

"I can't believe what I am seeing. I do not know how the hell did you look like her. But you are definitely an impostor!" I immediately shouted as the girl came towards me.

She leaned in front of me, touched the rope and cut it with a small knife. What is she doing now? Is she trying to help us?

"I maybe one of them…but I can never let you guys die." That girl…is she really Hiyono? Why do I have this weird feeling? Why do I keep hearing that weird girl's scream in my head? Why? Why?

Hiyono narrating…

Ayumu…what's going on? Where am I? Where are my friends? What is this place? All I can see are medical apparatuses. In a big room painted with white, there are more only three persons…one female and two males.

"When will we start the operation?" The female doctor said as she kept manipulating a gadget.

I do not know what gadget it is. I've never seen such device in my entire life as a researcher. It is a bendable metallic chair with a robot like helmet having more than ten buttons on it. And more than that, there is a huge capsule with green liquid inside. Based on its size…a human can fit there. That device…what is it?

"It is better to do it as soon as possible. Let's start now. We wouldn't want this girl to bother our mission. And more than that … that person wanted her to be sent to him.." That is what I heard the man in white said.

That person? Who could he be? What is my use to him?

I still felt dizzy after they injected that chemical to my right arm. I found myself lying in a hospital bed with the light facing me from the ceiling. The female doctor covered me with white blanket. I felt the bed being bent into a dentist chair. They put an electronic device in my head. It felt like electricity flows through my body. I screamed and screamed. It hurts so much that I cannot move even a little. Am I going to die? Ayumu…help!

Black…that's all I can see now. I felt the bed being moved. They are removing the gadget they placed in my head. This time, they put me in the capsule. They made me drink something and put a small tube connected to the air pump in my mouth. The water level rose until it's higher than my head.

My memory…why does it feel…like I will never see Ayumu again?

Ayumu narrating…

Hiyono smiled and helped us escape. I do not know what she planned to do next but…

"You sure about this?"

"Ayumu, so with the others…you are my friends. I will never let them kill you…even if it cost me my life. I promise." That is the response I heard her say. That is something Hiyono will actually say. But why do I still feel like something not right is going on?

Riyoko and Kouske are both confused. So am I. But if this is really Hiyono… we all know what she's saying is the absolute truth.

"Go now. That would be the way. When you see a blue tank…turn left and then you'll find a ship. Use it and escape from here. Faster before they found out that I helped you escape."

If it's really Hiyono… then for sure…I will never let her suffer alone. I grabbed her and carried her. She kept hitting me with kicks and punches. But if they found out she tricked them for us… they might even kill her.

We are now all in the ship…

Kouske: So tell us weird girl…what the hell is going on? Where is Rio? Are you really with them?

Riyoko: Hiyono…tell us the truth! Don't be afraid.

Hiyono: Rio is held captured. They asked me to kill Ayumu …so that Rio won't be killed. Afterwards, Rio told me to help you guys and then we can all think of a way to escape safely. That…is the truth.

Ayumu: And the reason why you wanted to go back is because you are still worried about Rio.

She nodded. She cried and cried. We may be able to escape…I might be able to make a plan…but I will never be able to stop her from crying.

It makes me happy to see her safe and sound. But … what is this weird feeling that I still have to save her? What in the world is going on? Something tells me…to go back…like something very important was left behind.

Riyoko narrating…

It must hurt. It must hurt her so much to try killing the person she treasured the most. Yet she did it…for us. Now, she is in the arms of Ayumu. I cannot believe that there are really angels like her in this world. If that is so… then the destiny of blade children can really be changed.

Rio narrating…

I do not know what those guys are up to. But seeing that machine … I must inform Ayumu about their plan of using Hiyono against us. Memory Erase Apparatus, code: 64375, Aka, (XXX), how are they able to invent such kind of device? Why didn't they just kill us? Do they really plan to kidnap Hiyono from the very beginning?

I am almost there. But what should I do? There are so many guards in the gate. Afterwards…I felt being captured by a very familiar scent. He pulled me into a dead end. Afterwards…he opened a tunnel and told me to go there.

"Faster…before they find us." That person is Eyes. How did he know I am here? Am I that important to him that he always comes as a knight to help me out? I ran to him crying like a kid.

"Sorry for being late. It's good I put a tracing gadget in your ribbon the last time we met. That gadget melts when exposed to water. Good thing it didn't rain. Are you ok…Rio?" Eyes-kun is really great. He's really good and helpful!

Maybe even in the zone called dead end…there is still hope…for blade children.

Hiyono narrating...

I am now in a huge bed covered with white flower petals. The furniture, the flowers, the curtains…everything around me looks so elegant. From this room, I can hear someone shouting…as if something happened.

All of them are now in a panic situation. So many soldiers are running. I can see them panic.

"Damn it. The brat escaped! Find her or else our plan will be ruined!"

"Send all soldiers to find her!" The other man shouted at them.

That means…that means someone escaped. Deep inside…I am happy to hear it. But why…why am I happy hearing that that person escaped?

Then all of a sudden, a handsome young boy walked across my room. He took my hand and said to me… "Everything's ok…Maya." That's what he told me as he grabbed me towards him. It made me felt warm and safe.

Does that mean … I am Maya? Who is he? Who am I? What can't I remember anything? What is going on here?

Everything is now going according to our plans…The destiny of the cursed children can never be changed. What are you going to do… Kiyotaka's brother?
