The Mystery of the Death Character
"So Kudo-kun's dad is the famous mystery writer, Kudo Yusaku?" Masumi asked.
"Yeah," Skai informed. "Though, he's not in Japan at the moment and is abroad. Subaru-san, Daichi, and I were allowed to stay at the Kudo Mansion,"
"When I was younger," Masumi grinned. "I used to read his books a lot, like the Night Baron series,"
"Well, it's thanks to those books that his son ended up as a mystery nut," Sonoko said. She then turned to Ran. "But it must be a relief for you, with a best-selling author for a father-in-law,"
"Sonoko!"
"You're right," Sonoko winked. "You're going to date Kaishi-kun," She turned to the male detective of the group. "What are you parents like? Ran should meet your parents since they'll be her in-laws,"
"How many times must I say that I have a girlfriend?" Skai exhaled.
"Then why are you hanging out with three girls?" Masumi pointed out.
"Because you three are my friends," Skai claimed. 'I need to start having guy friends that won't kill me for being the spotlight of attention for the female high school student's attention…'
"Hey, are you okay?" The four looked in an alley to see a man leaning against a vending machine. Two people were near him, one kneeling and shaking him. "Hang in there, Takaichi!"
Masumi and Skai looked at each other before heading towards the three men. Ran and Sonoko followed. "What happened?" Ran asked.
"Well, he didn't come to work today, so we went looking for him and found him lying here," One of the men answered. "There's blood dripping from his mouth, too,"
Masumi put a hand to the victim's neck. "He doesn't need an ambulance because he's already dead,"
"D-Dead!?"
"For already nine hours it seems," Skai opened the eyelids to look at the eyeballs. "Was he an alcoholic?"
"Yeah," The men answered. "Even though he said his doctor told him to stop, he kept drinking,"
"The whites of his eyes are yellow," Masumi informed, opening the other eyelid. "Also, he is a thin man yet his belly is bulging out,"
"Ascites," Skai added. "He had a bad liver. A can of beer was left untouched in the delivery bin of the vending machine," Skai looked to the dispensing area of the machine. He was probably what he was trying to buy before he died,"
"People with bad livers usually avoid alcohol," Masumi continued. "It makes their symptoms worse. I theorized that if he wanted to drink despite that, he could have been an alcoholic,"
"Having drunk alcohol," Skai said. "His cirrhosis caused him to vomit blood from variceal ruptures,"
"Nobody was around to help him—"
"—so he ended up dying,"
"Ah!" Ran noticed a character written in blood. "D-Death!"
"Murder," Masumi declared.

Ran got a reply some minutes later from Shinichi's phone. "I don't want you turning my house upside down while I'm not there," She read aloud. "So I told Daichi-kun where the photo is and I'm having her pick it up, and bring it to the Detective Agency for you," Ran frowned and closed her phone. "Then just tell me where it is…"
"I get it!" Sonoko said. "Could it be that there's porn hidden close to it?"
"But you know," Masumi said. "We're already here,"
Skai and the others entered the house. "She's already here," He noted his little sister's shoes.
"Where's this 'Subaru-san' who is living here?" Masumi asked. "I'd like to meet him!"
Skai just smiled but didn't say anything, thinking he'd tell her his identity. 'He's your brother! You met him before! How can you NOT tell the similarities between them! Just put two and two together!'
"You know what I've been wondering about Subaru-san for a while," Sonoko said as they walked down the hall. "He always wears clothes that cover his neck!"
'Voice changer,' Skai mentally sighed.
"Huh? Is that true?" Ran asked.
"Yeah," Sonoko continued. "That's why I think he has an embarrassing tattoo or something on his neck that he wants to hide,"
"Now that you mention it…" Ran ponders.
"So when he lets his guard down sometime, let's leap in and tear off his clothes!" Sonoko suggested.
"Or you just want to see him naked," Masumi said. She then stopped and looked at the bathroom door. "Daichi-kun?" She flung the door open. "So you were in here!"
Subaru was brushing his teeth and looked to Masumi. The two stared at each other. Skai slowly backed up, popping his head in like in the cartoons. He looked between the two. "Now that I see you two near each other," He said. "I think Subaru-san is your elder brother in disguise,"
Subaru bit on his toothbrush. 'Don't blow my cover!'
"Wait," Masumi looked to Skai. "You know my brother?"
"He was the guardian before Subaru-san," Skai said. He then thought about it. "I take that back; they are not the same person,"
"Why not? They look alike," Masumi said.
"Do you really think Akai Shuichi of the FBI would dye his hair pink?" Skai pointed out.
"Good point," Masumi nodded, rejoining Ran and Sonoko in search for Daichi.
"It is strawberry blonde," Subaru said in Akai's voice, though it was a bit muffled due to the toothpaste foam.
"You have a serious problem with brushing your teeth at random times," Skai said.

The four approached the library. "Daichi-kun!" Masumi called.
Daichi was caught by surprise. She stumbled and dropped the box, spilling the papers all over. "Tsk, tsk," Skai teased. "Clumsy as always,"
"Shut up!" Daichi growled. "I was caught by surprise!"
"Hey, why are we speaking in English?" Masumi put an arm on Daichi's shoulder and had a huge grin.
Ran understood what they said to each other. Sonoko didn't and thought, 'Is Kaishi-kun trying to ask Sera-san out?'
The two siblings reverted back to Japanese. "The two of us are originally from the States,"
"So did you find it?" Ran asked.
"It is not needed," Skai spoke up. "Because I have already solved the case,"
"So have I," Daichi smirked.
"Eh?"
"Well actually I didn't solve the whole thing," Daichi admitted. "So that's why…" She cleared her throat. "SUBARU-SAN I NEED YOU TO SOLVE THIS CASE!" 'I knew I shouldn't have watched only the part with Sera and Subaru meeting. I should've watched the WHOLE thing,'
Subaru, who had finally finished brushing, entered the library. "You could just let your brother explain his deduction," 'Or stolen deduction,'
"The death character in the alley was created by a cigarette, some coins, and the edge of his wallet," Skai explained.
"But no wallet was found," Masumi said.
"Someone must have taken the chance at some free cash and stole it," Skai continued.
"But we still don't know who the thief is," Sonoko said.
"Who knows?" Skai said. "Maybe we'll find some clues,"

At the crime scene, Skai looked under the vending machine. He then noticed an object and picked it up with a napkin to avoid putting his fingerprints on it. "This is a bloody ten yen coin," He tikd the girls.
"The blood on it means that when the thief took the coins, they probably dropped this one and it went under the vending machine," Masumi smirked. "There should be fingerprints matching those of someone with a previous offence,"
"They sure do," Three men came out. "Assault, ABH, Blackmail…altogether that's three previous offences. Oh wait…theft makes that four. So won't you give that back to us? You can spare ten yen, right?"
"Then after that," The leader smirked. "We can show these three beautiful girls our 'love' all at once,"
"You know, if you want to get to my friends," Skai said. "You'd have to get through me,"
"You little punk!" They lunged for the coin.
Skai flicked it into the air.
"Why'd you do that for!?" The leader demanded, attempting to punch Skai.
Skai smirked, grabbing the man's arm and punching him in the face. One of the other two drew a baton and attempted to hit the teen from another world. Skai ducked and kicked the man across the chest. The third took out a knife. Before he could take Sonoko hostage, Skai kneed him in the abdomen. All of the thieves were on the ground in pain.
Masumi caught the coin in her right hand. "Case closed!"
"Hey Ran," Sonoko began.
"I am not asking Kaishi-kun on a date!" Ran snapped.
"No," Sonoko said. She looked to Skai and Masumi. "I think Sera-san should go out with him!"

Subaru was listening to the conversation through the watch. The button had been hit when Skai had attacked them. "There is no way in hell I'd let him date my sister…"
