The Mythical Detective Mayura

XV: Gluttony

Her staff twisted through the air, emitting a glow.

"Your need to have everything you see has become disgusting." Mayura said as the man before her whimpered in fear. The giant blue monster that had emerged from his back was growling at her.

"It is no longer a hobby but a necessity. And I, Athena of Olympus, will remove your sin. Mamoru, thy sin's name is gluttony!"

She cut through the blue monster with her staff and it vanished into dust.

The man fainted and Mayura sighed. "Mou, that's only the third sin. I haven't seen any wrath, greed, sloth or pride yet on Earth. I solved ten cases..."

"Um, my brother probably counts as sloth." Loki pointed out.

"Mou, your brother isn't that bad." Mayura said with a slight smile.

"You haven't lived with him." Loki muttered.

Mayura walked over to him as Yamino handled the client and his family. "Loki, what about your parents...?" She was sure that mortals had those.

"They went to America. They're doctors." Loki said, not meeting her gaze. Looking into her curious big eyes only made him blush now that he had accepted his feelings. "They don't visit."

Mayura blinked, trying to imagine a blonde woman and a white-haired man with Loki and Odin's respective personalities. She sweat-dropped after a full moment. "Mou, it's hard to think about. My father..." She paused, thinking of Zeus. "He's not all there anymore because of my uncle." She clenched a fist.

Loki opened his mouth, ready to say something comforting, but Freyr appeared.

"Athena, you will not believe what this one has discovered." The god said, breathing heavily.

"Hm?" Mayura gave him her attention.

"Ares is hunting mortal girls. Look." He handed her a newspaper.

Loki snatched it and read the headline. "Mysterious killer takes female victims with pink hair. This could be a coincidence."

Mayura frowned, looking at the details. "Murdered with a sword...police suspect that the sword was on fire when the killer used it on the victims. It's certainly my brother. I just never thought he was this sick."

"We must stop him." Freyr said, putting his hands on his hips. "How do we find him?"

Mayura clenched a fist. "We ask Eris."
