Title: A Wish upon a Detective, Chapter 5
Hiyohiyo's theater: In the last chapter, Ayumu went in my house to talk to me about my past. Without realizing it myself, I started talking and talking as if the one I'm with is someone I completely trust. Even I don't understand myself. But why do I feel so safe…with Narumi around?

In the Zone of Vowed Protection
Hiyono narrating…
Time passes a little bit faster than normal when Ayumu came to my house for a visit. My heart won't stop beating abnormally when he stares at me. But I don't understand… this feeling…is somewhat nostalgic.
"And that is the story. So now it's your turn to tell me about blade children!"
"Memory, and you happened to be Seiji's fiancee. Is that just coincidence or are you really the same person?"
"What are you talking about? Isn't Hiyono the girl you are with just a few hours ago?"
"Well about that, hold on, you said Seiji told you about your past and you don't remember any other things aside from those that he told you. In France, your parents…did they mention anything to you about your identity?"
"Wait a second, why are you so interested about myself? You meant you came all the way here to learn about me. You're really a good classmate, How nice!"
"Nice?"
Ayumu narrating…
This girl really…how come she remained so simpe minded when it's her life where talking about. The time we escaped from those hunters, Hiyono explained what actually happened. But when Rio called me, she said she is now with Eyes working a seige to find the truth. Without telling anything to that weird girl, I and the blade children decided to move secretly, making her believe that Rio is still missing. That Seiji Motaro, what could be his motive for coming all the way to Tsukiomi High School? And this girl in front of me now, what is her connection with me and the blade children?
No matter how I think about it, it seems that logic is in contrast with what I want to believe. Is that really the case now … or am I just being mislead by I what I'm seeing?
"Guess I'll be leaving."
"Wait! What about blade children? You told me you're going to tell me about them."
"Here's the deal, if it happened that I am able to prove that what you know now about yourself is nothing but a bunch of lies, will you rather stay with Seiji as Maya Ruinare, or would you prefer to live as the real you?"
"Bunch…of lies, what in the world are you talking about?"
"Promise me you won't tell anyone about this conversation we had now Maya. I need you to do that, and to allow me to protect you until I finished playing the melody of theories."
Allow me to protect you, why does it seem like I'm not the one speaking for myself? Tell me Kiyotaka, is this really what you want me to do? Why is someone like her…starting to get involved with blade children?
"I don't understand."
"With only words to hold on to, is that really enough for you?I believe you already knew I am not asking you as a classmate, but as someone you can rely on, as someone you have to believe."
"Listen Ayumu Narumi, I am Maya Ruinare and not any other person. Seiji, Seiji told me everything I need to know and why must I not believe in him? Forgive me, but if there's one person I believe now, that is no other than Seiji."
"Maya."
"I promise, I won't tell anyone about this nonsense. But if things turn out unexpectedly and Seiji might even be hurt, I can also promise that I'll protect him no matter what!"
"Then I promise to protect you as well. Whoever you are, whatever you believe in, this might actually be the right thing for all of us, for you, for me, for the blade children. Guess I'll be leaving now."
"Please do."
"And Maya…"
"What now?"
"You don't need to stop your tears. That's all you have to do. Good bye."
"Ayumu?"
Hiyono narrating…
He…Ayumu Narumi…already left…but why can't I…why can't I stop myself from crying…as if I hurt someone…someone important to me…as if my heart decided not to follow my mind with what I've decided…the sadness… I can't remove from inside me.
A little while after Ayumu Narumi left, Seiji called me.
"Maya, just thought I should call to know if you're ok, is there any problem?"
"Not at all."
Seiji…he did his best to protect me from getting hurt. He even protected me even if it cost him to fight with my own parents.
"Seiji."
"Yes Maya?"
"In France, you even fought with dad just to let me come with you all the way to Japan. You said in here I might remember something…and that I should follow what I believe in. You did all of that…after I saw some pictures taken in Japan that made me felt nostalgic and after seeing me sad when I heard that dad is going to send me somewhere else. Why did you do that? Please tell me the real reason of why did you do that!"
"Maya."
"You still can't remember anything…and I just thought, maybe when you stay in the environment where you've been living a long time ago, maybe you might remember other things."
"In Japan, in my own country…I did feel something nostalgic when we came hear. Maybe the reason why I felt that way was actually because I've already known some friends…in my past…maybe I've actually seen them or talked to them. But I can't remember."
"Is that so? Then you don't have to feel sad over nothing. Those friends you mentioned, I'm sure you'll remember them again, soon enough so that you won't feel lonely at all."
"Seiji, thank you so much for being who you are to me."
Seiji's narration...
The reason why I wanted you to be happy...is because you did the same for me...Hiyono Yuizaki.
Even an enemy may be able to cause your happiness...and even a friend may be able to cause your sadness. In the spiral of destiny, the melodies of theories are being played louder and louder. What might happen then ... if someone you vowed to protect...doesn't trust you at all?
