Chapter 3 : It's a perfect day!
Yuuma's POV
"Yuuma, wake up..."
"5 more minutes, nee-chan, i'm tired..."
"It's 7.45 in the morning now. If you don't want to be late you better wake up, or you will be really late and receive a bonus lecture from the counselor~~"
I blinked my bloodshot eyes open and glanced at the alarm clock beside my bed. You know what i did? Yep! I grabbed it...
...
...
AND IMMIDEATLY THREW IT TO THE WALL.
"7.45 O'CLOCK YOU SAID?! IT'S BARELY EVEN 6 IN THE MORNING! DO YOU NOT KNOW, I JUST GOT HOME AT MIDNIGHT?!"
"Forgive me my sweet younger brother~~"
That demon woman! This is exactly why i don't like my own sister! She might be perfect in the eyes of others. I mean, beautiful? Check! Smart? Check! A good Housewife? Check! Polite? Check! A role model? Check!
So what is she lacking? She is brocon, you know what that is? BROTHER COMPLEX! AND IT'S AT A SERIOUS LEVEL! Ehm... Sorry, i don't want to ruin something again...
I got up and removed my clothes, since I was already awake, I didn't see the need to sleep in for the rest of the day. Besides, that annoying woman is gone now…
"Kyaa~~ Finally! You answered your sister's feeling!"
"Mizki nee-chan?! I thought you went out already?!"
"That's not improtat! Now let's go back to sleep~~"
This crazy woman!
"Hey! No, stop! Don't remove your clothes nee-chan!" No! I can see her bra!
That idiot! I quickly ran outside and held the door close.
"Come on Yuuma, why else do I chose to work part-time rather than a steady job and always waiting for you at home whenever I'm free? Now let's do what we need to do as siblings with different genders!" Nee-chan, there are no siblings with different genders in this world that claims a husband and wife relationship between them as necessity!
Cra- I forgot I went outside with just my shorts!
"Nee-chan! Give me some clothes! I'm cold here!"
"There! That is why! We need to warm ourselves Yuuma~~" God-, she just replied to it strangely!
'DING DONG~~~ DING DONG~~~
"Yuuma! Let's go to school together!"
Can't this morning get any worse?! Why did you have to come pick me up Miku?!
"Aw Yuuma~~ I could hear a girl's voice from here, you're already two-timing? Aw~~"
"Shut up nee-chan!"
"Yuuma? What are you doing? I hear ruckus inside, do you need any help? I'm coming in okay?"
"No! Miku! Don't come in!"
I ran down the stairs to hold the front door, now I regret not locking the door before I went sleep. Nee-chan immediately opened the door that I released and pounced on me while I was descending the stairs; Miku then came in and saw my sister on top of my back with the both of us only in our undergarments.
"Yuu- KYAAA!"
"Ah! Miku! Yes, hello! A beautiful morning for siblings like us isn't it~~"
"Shut up nee-chan! Miku this is not what it looks like! Wa-"
THUD! And everything went black...
Normal POV
"Ouch..." Yuuma kept holding his bruised left eye... Of course, a little something from Miku in the early morning.
"A-anyways, Yo-your also at f-fault! Don't do something pe-perverted in front of yo-your gu-guest!" Miku shouted while stuttering, which was responded by Yuuma with a sigh.
"I thought I told you not to come in. Besides, throwing one of the photo frame to this handsome face of mine to express your embarrassment is just cruel you know..." Yuuma scratched his head, Miku pouted and continued to shout at Yuuma.
"Handsome he said... You're just too self-centered!"
"So what's with you coming to my house so early in the morning? Are you crushing on me?"
"Wha- Don't say something so absurd! Th-this is not be-because i like you or anything at all! Ba-baka![1]" Miku blushed and stuttered, it seems like Yuuma's plan to pay back for his bruised eye is going smoothly.
"Yeah, so... What's your excuse?"
"I saw you last night when going back home, what were you doing? Especially with Gakupo who was following you from behind like a burglar... Suspicious..."
Yuuma shuddered; he would not admit that Lui-sensei and the others used him for a living bait.
"Eh? Um, that... I was just ordered to buy some groceries by nee-chan! Gakupo was not suspicious; he was just sneaking around like a samurai!"
Miku nodded to Yuuma's answers.
"Oh, okay..."
'Thank god she's stupid' Yuuma whispered softly to himself but it seemed like Miku could still hear Yuuma's whispers.
"What are you saying? Huh?!"
"No-nothing! I was just thinking that maybe having a little sister is better!
"Oh"
'Though i really wish i had a little sister rather than her...' Yuuma thought
.
.
.
In school, Yuuma's thoughts were preoccupied with the events of last night. Was it really Cul? Or was it just someone that seemed like Cul? But how did he or she know Yuuma and Gakupo? Cul is a client, Yuuma did not have the right evidences. Cul was a victim, to accuse her of being the culprit just from the hypothetical conclusion that she was, last night, holding the supposed murder weapon in her hands, as described by Lui-sensei, did not feel right to him.
"Did the fog tricked my sight?"
"Who are you talking to, Yuuma?"
Miku approached the silent Yuuma, he smiled awkwardly to Miku, and stood up, dragging her to the cafeteria in an act of covering his fluster. He was slightly worried that Miku might finally think that he was going crazy. Meanwhile Miku, in her obliviousness to Yuuma's worries, had her face reddened as she was being dragged.
Yuuma walked towards Aria's apartment, he wanted to confirm Cul's alibi that night. In the middle of his journey (Why did I type 'journey'?) he stumbled upon a woman, her clothes are very exposed and her curves could clearly be seen.
"Ow... I'm sorry I-"
"Are you okay? I'm sorry I walked while texting."
Yuuma accepted the woman's hand, Yuuma stared at her without blinking. 'Is she an adult's magazine model, or a prostitute? Her clothes are so exposed.' Was what Yuuma was thinking.
"Sorry, my name is Meiko, if I would like to know, what's your name?"
Yuuma snapped out of his thoughts (Perverted thoughts, maybe?)
"Ah! I'm Yuuma, nice to meet you,"
"Okay Yuuma, see you later, here is my email address! Bye~~"
Meiko left Yuuma after she gave him a paper with an email address. Yuuma thought, 'We just met, and she's that friendly. Is she just a friendly person or is one of my guesses about her job is correct?'
.
.
.
Yuuma barged into Aria's apartment without knocking; as usual, he was given a whimsical order by Aria.
"Hey, unofficial assistant! Open one DoKuPe can for me and buy me some Yakisoba!"
"I just walked in,"
"It's your fault for not knocking,"
"Let's put that aside for now, I want to know what Cul's job is. Where was she last night? You must have noticed the abnormalities too last night, right?"
Aria stopped looking at her screen and turned to Yuuma.
"She worked overtime last night, she was in her house,"
Yuuma was confused, 'How come' He thought.
"Then who was that last night? I'm pretty sure I saw Cul, Culnoza!"
"All I saw was a fog with 3 voices in it,"
Aria answered slowly, as if bored with Yuuma's argument.
Yuuma thought, was it true that the fog was hallucinogen?
"There was a woman's voice, who was it?"
"I don't know, though I'm pretty sure it knows you and Gakupo. And there's a chance she knew the others too,"
"Ah, I also have something in mind," Aria continued her speech, Yuuma's expression changed to one that showed curiosity.
"Some...thing?"
Aria turned back towards her monitor and opened an image, Yuuma's face quickly reddened.
"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT PICTURE?! NO! ERASE IT!"
"Hold up pinky boy, the problem is not you nor your sister, but this photo frame that Miku threw. Where did you get that?"
Yuuma took a deep breath and answered.
"My father..."
"You know? That exact frame was once auctioned with a million yen price,"
"What does it have to do anything with me?"
"Those people that were killed in this case had all the same purpose, that is to search for that frame."
Yuuma was slightly taken aback, what does a frame have to do with any murder?
"That frame was fought over as a replacement to a precious gem in Italy at the time of vacuum of power between the First World War and the Second World War. There is a chance that the person behind the murders is hiding something on the frame. Perhaps some sort of a message or a sign of ownership of sort,"
"But how come my father has it?" Yuuma questioned back.
"That, is still a mystery. Can you go home and bring that frame back to me? From the picture of it; it seems like the frame contains a code, because the frame has an Olympian Greek gods carving in it. And metis is quite eye-catching, from the data that i collected it looks like the frame holds some sort of a location to valuable items, because the goddess Metis resembles greed."
Yuuma just nodded, he was also curious. Something resurfaced in his mind as he was about to leave. He was about to say something, but at the same time, Aria did the same.
"Ah-"
"Oh-"
"You first, Yuuma," Aria gave Yuuma a chance to talk first, but it seemed to offend Yuuma. He understood well of Aria's intention, she was mocking the saying 'Ladies First' by letting Yuuma talk first, but he let it slip.
"I met someone on my journey, it seemed like she already knew me, not only was she being overly familiar with me, she easily gave me her email address,"
"Wait what, journey?" Aria whispered to herself.
Yuuma handed over the paper that Meiko gave him to Aria.
"Please examine it for me! I'm going now!"
"Wait!"
Yuuma stopped in his tracks.
"Don't forget about my Yakisoba, I might not grow if i don't eat frequently,"
Yuuma looked over Aria, and readied himself to run.
"A young child has no right to order the elders, but it's okay, just think of me buying your food as a thanks for giving me the information and help! Bye!"
"Grr! IDIOT YUUMA!"
Yuuma's POV
Dang I went out too late in the night, it's all nee-chan's fault for not letting me go...
I ran towards Aria's apartment, I stopped midway, as I heard a voice beckoning my name. Hold on, when did I enter a narrow alley? I was too focused on running to notice that.
"Yuuma~~"
"Ah, it's you... Mei...ko?"
Meiko smiled and took out a large scissors with a smile plastered brightly on her face, I got a bad feeling about this. What was she going to do? I clutched to the bag that contained the frame.
"Yuuma I want to tell you of a happy news~! There's something I can gladly cut!"
I shuddered, did she mean... Cutting... Me?!
Translation complete... yay...
I'm so unmotivated these days, i hate my brother.
By the way there was a thing that i removed here, it was a warning of a tragedy going on in this story, yeah brace yourself.
My explanation thing :
[1] : Miku was just supposed to say a regular 'stupid Yuuma' or something. It goes the same for Aria saying 'IDIOT YUUMA' thing, I was tempted to write the same thing.
Also about the journey thing, let's just say I got adventurous hype when I typed it, and the next journey thing I was 'oh, I wrote journey last time, why not more?'. It was not supposed to be there, I added it myself.
Yes I'm sorry, and I'm rambling now.
Please forgive my mistakes (I think I made some, again) as always
Signed, as always
