Shin's eyes move away from the book as he focuses on Uran's accident. For a moment he studies her appearance as he is curious about the excessive amount of band-aids covering her body. He continues to keep his eyes on her until she leaves the room. Afterwards he goes back to reading the play, but his mind is no longer trying to analyze the story in his hands, but instead on the strange cute girl who just left the classroom. A few seconds go by before he decides to investigate her later when he has a chance.
Meanwhile, back at the kitchen...
Shin gradually wakes up as he hears Bushitora's yelling. As he attempts to sit up, he slowly stretching his arms and yawns. With his eyes half close, he turns towards the source of the noise that woke him from his nap. As he is barely awake, he couldn't make out exactly what the other person in the kitchen is saying to him, but he did manage to hear him utter the word "food." As he rubs his eyes he asks, "Jeez, is it already lunch time?"

"All of you, please." Yuu raised her voice slightly, looking at the daydreaming students. "Psychology is the study of the mind." Yuu began, pausing to let her lagging students get it down. A quick glare and Martha jotted it down, turning from what she was sketching on the table. Yuu just didn't appreciate her motorcycle dragons! Martha swiftly grew bored with the class and glanced around for entertainment. Cool running girl was too far away... Kiba already refused her... wait, who was this kid? Martha didn't remember him coming in. "Hey, who are you?"
Jane paid close attention to the cute girl in front as she left. Aw, she could have helped. Maybe probably best she didn't try. One slip and the poor girl would just be naked. Jane decided foam was nobody's friend. And neither was the teacher. He was untrustworthy, even if she couldn't put her finger on it. "Hey, do you... know anything weird about the teacher?" Jane asked her funny looking new friend.

-Oh, sure, we can talk during the break, the rooftop has a great view.- Shiroi gently smiled, he seemed much more amicable than his friends. -I’m quite sure we can help each other and become friends.- He extended his hand towards Arthur, going for a more western-like greeting rather than the customary bow. There was something on his eyes, like a spark of feeling, difficult to identify.
-Me?- The young man behind Martha and Kiba asked weekly. He had the kind of face you forget moments after seeing, basically he lacked any distinctive facial markers or traits. He was short, thin and clearly not very outgoing. His uniform was clean, but clearly was worse for wear, with many repairs, not from individual tears, possibly this was a second hand uniform that had been carefully repaired to a functioning uniform.
-I’m Mienai, Yuudai Mienai.- He timidly answered, making many heads turn around, some shocked others a bit less surprised. Kiba was quite startled when he heard Yuudai’s voice, almost breaking his desk when he fearfully jumped from his chair. -Mienai! Please don’t do this again! You’re really scary!- Kiba complained, seemingly pointing out that Yuudai’s undetectability was something usual, or at least not away from his ordinary behaviour.
Aishi looked at her and whispered his reply, showcasing his skills at the same time, as he replied with a Haiku
The false smile he has, Hides wickedness and perversion Do not trust that man.
He got closer. -Many rumors circulate the school about his wrongdoings, I know somebody who is better informed about it, I can introduce you to her during the break.- Aishi usually relaxed and laid back smile vanished, his face turning serious for a second. -But you might not like what you find out.-
The Young Bushitora swung his sword towards Shin’s clone with unmatched fury. The blade was bursting in flames, leaving a stream of distorted air behind it. The noise woke up Norio, who was taking a nap, since he spent most of the night taking the equipment to the school. -I’m going to kill you, you class ditching glutton!- The Old Inspector sighed. “Oh god he is talking like a character from a samurai drama, I better go and stop that.” He thought while he stood up and closed his robe. He ignored his comm device, flashing with many messages.
The sound of the bell indicated the first break, each school day had 5 hours, with a 15 minutes break in between each hour. Then an full hour for lunch and 2 more hours of afternoon activities, being sports or clubs.

Jane became nervous (more than usual, anyway) at Aishi's tone. She didn't like this sounds of these secrets and perversions. But she was here to find things. "I'll talk to her. I'm working on a pitch for the school paper after all." Jane was glad she had that cover story prepared before hand. "If you write some poetry and let me take your picture, I'll add it to my pitch." Jane didn't suspect this guy, but it was good to check.
As Yuu continued to give class and Martha continued to ignore it, the punk girl looked at the bland kid with suspicion. What was his name again? She was forgetting details about him even as she talked to him. How could she get a picture of him? She was no good at this. Just follow your instincts, Martha thought. She drew back her fist. Wait, no. As good as that plan was, Yuu didn't like it. Plan b? "Hey, punk! How did you get in here without me noticing? I hate sneaky creeps like you! Lemmie take a picture of you so I can look out for your boring face or I'll rearrange it into something more interesting!" Martha snarled, using Kiba to hide from Yuu's view as she grabbed the bland kid's jacket and shook him.

As the bell rings, Shin slowly stands up as he notices everyone else getting ready to leave. He gradually closes his book as he finishes the first act. With a jolt of energy, he jumps out and over his chair with smooth body control. As he silently lands on his feet he turns around and spots Jane talking to Aishi. He frowns a bit as he hope to ask her to use the magical phone device, but it seems he will have to get the answers to his questions another way. With wasting time he rushes to get his friend. "Hey Seicho!" He walks up to the young Sherlock. "Care to help me out a bit? Since I'm new and all, I would really like to have a smart tour guide show me around a bit."
Sweating now the clone is significant more awake than before. "Damn, is it just me, or is it getting really-"Shin barely avoids the sword swing as he drives to the side. However, he did not completely avoid the strike as the flames at the sword's edge lit his pants on fire. "HOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!" he shouted as he leaps straight into the air holding his backside. He comedically runs in circles as the flames spread across his entire outfit. He eventually stops and rolls on the floor, until the flames die down.

Arthur shook Tsubasa's hand and nodded. "Sure. The rooftop is perfect." Arthur noticed that Tsubasa said they could help each other. He must want something. -I hope he doesn't expect me to marry him so he could get British citizenship... I made a mistake dating someone much younger once; I don't want to repeat the same mistake again.-
Once the class ended, Arthur left the classroom with Tsubasa. "You lead the way. I'm still new."

Aishi stood up with the bell, first turning to Kenka. -Bro I’m going to take her to meet Uwasa, you hold the fort.- The Delinquent nodded with a grunt and both students fist bumped. Aishi then turned to Jane. -Follow me, we’re going to meet Uwasa, she is the president of the school paper.- The Poet walked a couple of steps and heard the young Doll request for a photo. Without a second of hesitation he took an epic and fabulous posse. Anybody else doing might seem stupid, but Aishi was so honest and determined that he managed to pull it off. -Take your best shot!-
The information on Jane’s phone screen would read:
But after a sudden blast of static the screen revealed the information:
Aishi Kajin - Osaka/Nagoya -Nagareboshi Gakuen Student -Mundane Human -Winner of several poetry contests.
Once again strange interference had affected the phones and now, with Akane already diving in the Mahoureiko, maybe they could reach to the bottom of this enigmatic behaviour. Almost as if somebody had altered the JHWAB database. At least that was what Akane was thinking.
-Follow me little lady onward to adventure!- He spoke with a cool smile as he started scribbled on a notepad, fulfilling the next part of Jane’s request. Shiroi smiled and walked leading the way. -I used to travel a lot, but I never visited London.- He left a tacit question floating for Arthur to reply as they went up the stairs. The door to the rooftop wasn’t locked so Shiroi pushed it. A gust of warm wind was carried into the staircase, making Tsubasa’s hair wave behind him. From the rooftop they could see the whole town. Surprisingly the whole building was a bit lower than the rest, as if it was built in some kind of depression of the terrain. Still the impressive 4 stories building towered over the rest of nearby buildings.
-So I’m going to be blunt, something I learnt from my friends.- Tsubasa talked timidly, leaning against the railing trying to avoid doing eye contact with Arthur. His bangs covered part of his face. -I really like foreigners… So I wanted to... Ask you out- He giggled nervously and added in a whisper. -I can’t believe I said that.- As he ran his hand through his hair.
Shin pursued the clone stabbing the ground as he rolled, always a move behind. While the Clone tried to put off the flames the Young Bushitora Agent was trying to kill him, but his sword only hit the tatami mats, piercing through and leaving scorch marks behind. -I’M GOING TO SKEWER YOUR TRAITOROUS HIDE!- He placed each leg besides Shin’s sides and lowered his blade for a final attack, but a sudden golden barrier hit him from the side like a sledgehammer. It was a golden block, surging from one of Norio’s paper charms. The deep eye bags and the expression of sourness on his face told the whole story.
-Can anybody tell me what’s going on around here?- He asked in a dangerously low tone, clearly burning with fury inside, but not allowing to pop up on the surface.
-I was here the whole time.- Yuudai replied without looking at Martha, cleary too intimidated to keep eye contact. -Okay.- He meekly replied, still trying to not look at his interlocutor, clearly too scared to face her. Kiba, looking at the whole situation tried to calm Martha down. -Calm down, he doesn’t mean any harm, just look at him, he couldn’t hurt a fly.- The Giant Student was gesturing Martha with both hands to stop. But seeing the whole situation and don’t want to get on any trouble Kiba turned forward and raised his hand. It was the right thing to do, as Tsubasa and Tsume instructed him to do.
-Teacher, Martha-san is bullying Yudai.- His voice was a bit too loud, but he was well meaning. The Bell rung just after he said that.
-What do you need Shin-kun?- Seicho asked with a big smile as he looked around. The Young Detective was picking up his small notebook and a pencil before going to get something to eat, as he barely had time for breakfast in the morning. -Do you mind we talk while I get something to eat?- He asked as he pointed towards the door.

Martha quickly snapped a picture before Yuu yelled past Kiba. "Martha! Come here! Everybody else may have your break." Martha drug her feet to the desk and leaned so Yuu could address her, face in palm. "Martha... can you please not cause trouble for just one day?" "I was doing my job! I got a picture!" "No, your job is to not cause trouble!" The two spoke in hushed whispers. "Look, I won't send you to the office. I need to maintain control here. But behave yourself." Yuu maintained her tone with more effort than it took to erect the pyramids. "Now... get back to your seat." Martha trudged back with her hands in her pocket, plopping miserably into her seat. Yuu was a jerk.
Hm. Aishi was normal. She guessed the actual problem wouldn't be so willing to have their photo taken. "I look forward to it. Anything I should know before I meet her? Is she weird?" She probed for information. She had to tackle this like a journalist. It was the only way to be convincing and get her information.

"How can I say no to getting food?" As they walk together in the halls he would ask his new friend to explain the school to him, especially their classmates to him. "Hey Seicho, you seem to know a lot. Could you tell me more about our classmates? Like the girl who left class early." He looks at the young detective with no clear hidden agenda due to the young Mizukara's genuine curiosity about the girl. Still, someone as observant as Seicho might notice difference in his tone from asking about the others compare to the clumsy girl.
Laughing a bit nervously now with a clearly pissed off Norio in the kitchen, the young swordsman calmly puts his hands up as if claiming his innocence and says, "We all just need to relax and take a deep breath." He proceeds to inhale and exhale slowly as he walks closer to his escape route under the disguise of creating distance from the Shin. "Now, we should-WOW! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" shouted the clone as he points towards the corner of the room away from the two. Hoping the they would look at the mundane corner of the kitchen. Assuming they would look away, he plans to use the short distraction in an attempt to rush out of the room.

"If you get a chance, you should definitely visit London one day." Arthur said. "If you like big old buildings, it's basically heaven. The Big Ben is huge! And the view from the London Eye is great. Just stay away from the bad parts of town. I could be your tour guide if you want." He talked while they climbed to the roof. Once they were there, Arthur approached the railing. The view really was great.
Arthur didn't get to comment on the view right away. Tsubasa jumped straight to business. Well, maybe not so straight. The feeling one gets when a joke he makes in his own thoughts turns out to be true is not easily described, so we'll merely say Arthur was surprised. "Well, Shiroi-san, I am flattered by your feelings. But I'm sorry. I'm not looking for a relationship right now." Arthur looked away. Man, he was on fire today! Just finished first period and he already broke two hearts!
"Ahem, you were right. The view really is great from up here." He pulled out his phone and took a few photos. They could help him orient himself in the town until he learns the lay of the land. "Wanna pose for a photo? Or would you prefer we take a selfie?" Did that sound too flirtatious? Did it sound flirtatious at all? Urgh, the confession was making him hypersensitive!

-She is a bit too curious for her own good, so try not say anything cryptic or enigmatic when you meet her, or she will spend the next weeks finding every little detail about you.- Aishi looked away and scratched his ear. -Might be a bit scary, because Uwasa is really intense, but that is what I like her.- He admitted his feelings without realizing and quickly gestured, a bit nervous, with both open palms waving over his chest. -Don’t tell her I said that please!- Seemingly the cool and poetic Aishi had a weakness when it came to Uwasa. He pleaded with both hands together for Jane’s silence as they reached the School Paper office. -Pretty please little lady.- He whispered as he knocked on the door.
A young teen, with stylish accessories over her uniform and white hair opened the door. It was clear she came from money as her jewelry, even if it wasn’t flashy was clearly expensive enough to buy a car at the very least. -Oh? Kajin-kun, what brings you to my office?- Her piercing blue eyes then focused on Jane with curiosity, her nose twitched a little. -And who is this? One of the new students?- She gestured with a hand inviting them into the room, a bit too richly furbished for just being a school paper office. Her fingers pointed at large sofa for them to sit on. -Please come on in and sit down, I want to hear everything you have to say sweetie.-
-The other students in our class?- Seicho opened his notebook and started passing through the pages, refreshing his memory through his notes. -Seimei-san is a girl from a good family, she is the sweetest most caring person in the school.- He flipped over more pages reading quite fast. -Uran Bakuhatsu is really clumsy, she is the girl who had the accident with the pen.- He lowered his voice. -Try to say out away from her, she is an accident magnet, I ended up with a broken finger last year, people say she is cursed.- Seicho kept looking at his notebook, while they were already in the dining hall queue.
-Aishi Kajin and Yasui Kenka are our resident “delinquents” but you could say that more about Kenka than Aishi.- He showed one of his notebook pages to Shin, with a photograph of one of the many graffiti Aishi did on the city. -Aishi is more of an urban artist, he is pretty good a poetry too.- Seicho stopped for a second as he paid for a couple of Curry Breads, handing one to Shin. -Here, is on me, you seem like you’re starving.- Then he moved towards one of the tables to keep his story. -Kiko and Kichi Karakuri are twin sister and brother, both of them play football in the second teams of the school, their brother Ken is the captain of the main team.-
Seicho munched down a couple of bites of his bread, stopping for a second to enjoy the spicy and meaty filling before resuming his explanation. -Finally there is Takane Takara, who helps in the infirmary and some say she is dating Ken Karakuri.- The Young Detective finished his bread and drank a small bottle of milk in a single chug. -I think that covers all of the students in our class, we’re pretty normal compared to some other classes.-
Both Norio and Shin looked away, but they were still keeping an eye on Shin’s clone, so the moment he tried to run away both reacted. The young Bushitora threw his sword, that pierced deep into a wall besides the fleeing Shin both as a warning and as a distraction. His father created a golden barrier that covered the doorframe, so the Mizukara Teen would surely crash against it and fall backwards. Both men shouted. -WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING!?-
Shiroi shook his head and placed his hand over his eyes, blocking them for a second as he surely cleaned a couple of tears and then he passed his fingers through his hair, finally raising his head and showing the same gentle smile he had during class. He could take the rejection, he took others before, he seemed to be always unlucky… Maybe if he travelled to Tokyo he would have more luck. -Okay, let’s take a selfie.- He moved closer to Arthur, trying not to get too close and allowed the Magician to take a picture. The info would read. INFORMATION ALREADY INPUTTED Shiba “Tsubasa Shiroi” Chuutastu - Nagoya Nagareboshi Gakuen Student -Mundane Human. -Inter-regional Chess Champion INFORMATION ALREADY INPUTTED

Arthur felt bad for the young man. Taking pictures of the town didn't stop him from noticing Tsubasa covering his face. But there was nothing he could do about this. All he could do now was take a photo of him to make sure he wasn't their target. "Thanks, Shiroi-san."
After taking the photo, he moved away and looked at the data. Oh, someone already took a photo of him. Wait. Tsubasa Shiroi is just a nickname? That's weird, interesting and something worth further investigation.
"So, Shiroi-san. There's one place I'd like to go to after school and I don't know where I could find it. Would you mind taking me there?" Would you mind it after that rejection? "I understand if you're busy."

Martha loudly sighed a few times, stopping when it didn't get Yuu's sympathy or even her attention. Restricted to the room, Martha cast her gaze about for anything interesting to do. Everybody leffffft! Bleeeeeeeh! Martha dropped her face to the desk and groaned again. School was awful.
"Thanks! I won't mention anything!" Jane promised. She just filed away her information and began working out her pitch. When they opened the door, she was surprised. This didn't really seem so bad. This girl seemed very friendly! "I'll tell you some information in exchange for what you know about weird things happening, okay?" Jane hoped what meager details she had concocted would satisfy the young reporter's thirst for knowledge.

As Shin happily eats and listens to Seicho's detailed analysis of their classmates, he started to mentally prioritize the people he would investigate later. And so far the clumsy girl is number one on his list. He prepares to thank his new friend for the information, but thankfully he is interrupted by additional intel that sounds pretty interesting. "What do you mean?" he asked in-between bites. He knew his teammates are most likely taking care of getting stuff from their classes, but if there is an opportunity to learn more about the other students in different classes, why not take it? Besides, to him, the most well informed person in this whole school is sitting right across from him..
The clone yells from shock as the sword implies the wall next to his head right before he smashes his face into Norio's barrier, which causes him to quickly bounce back into the room. As he covers his face, he starts to row around in pain. As he rubs his face, he slowly gets back up and looks at the two of them, all the while struggling to come up with an excuse. "Now, before anyone here tries to murder me, I think I have the right to explain myself...." he said as his eyes searches for an alternative escape route.

Uwasa sat right in-between them with a big, maybe a bit pretentious, smile on her face. Cute dimples formed on her marble-like soft cheeks. She reached for a small table in front of the couch and picked a small round box, opening to reveal butter cookies. -Do you want one?- She moved the box near Jane. As she did her face showed signs of a sudden realization and she resumed talking. -Oh, Where are my manners? I forgot to introduce myself.- Uwasa gently smiled as her finger gently brushed her lower lip. -I’m Uwasa Samui, president of the School Newspaper Club.- She delicately grasped Jane’s hand while tilting her head, showing an even wider smile and winking. -But you can call me Uwa-chan.-
-What did you exactly need to know? Weird things in this school? - Uwasa asked, hoping to get some interesting and precise questions from the Doll.
-A place?- Shiroi asked quite puzzled. -What do you mean?- For a moment he was really confused by the question, but realizing that not helping lowered his chances of turning Arthur’s rejection around he decided to help as well as he could. - I mean… What place? So I can help you get there.- He gently smiled, finally shaking off the feeling of sadness creeping into his heart after the Frost Mage negative. -I’m not busy, not at all.- He actually had arranged with his friends to hit the arcade and then he had cram school, but he knew this was some sort of opportunity fate was handing to him.
-The 3rd year is filled with some creepy people, like that Tsume guy or Akire Sokudo.- Seicho looked around, checking they were alone. -They say he injured other aces of the Rugby team to get more spotlight.- The Young Detective kept shuffling his notes and continued explaining. -There is also the fact that Ken Karakuri barely appears in the school, even with professional practice he should have more than enough time to be on the morning classes at the very least, not to mention whenever he's around his siblings aren’t on campus.- The pace of his fingers going through the pages turned frantic as he continued explaining.
-But two weirdest things are without a doubt Angelique Virtuel, who spends her days locked into her laptop, typing god knows what on it.- Seicho finally opened his notebook on the last pages, showing it to Shin. -And this...- A whole bunch of blurry pictures were glued into it, most group pictures or taken during gym class. All of them had a shadowy figure on the background or the side, a silhouette of a human-like figure, always blurry and indistinct. -All of these pictures are from that 3rd Year Class and all of them have the same…- Seicho inhaled with a hint of terror. -”thing” on them.- The Young Detective lowered his head and started whispering, covering the side of his mouth with his hand.
-I can’t prove anything, but I’m betting this is an alien or some sort of creature that can hide from the lenses of the cameras with some sort of advanced camouflage.- His whisper almost turned into a mutter. -I think that he might be around, even as we speak.- He was starting to sound a bit crazy, but maybe he was onto something. -I asked for the school cameras recording, but they don’t allow me to have them, I’m sure they know something.- This was starting to sound totally as a conspiracy theory, with the fire only obsessed people have burning inside Seicho’s eyes. -But you know… I have a plan. Something to uncover it all.-
-Explain before I throw you into a hole and seal it for a thousand years.- Norio, with his hands filled with charms, was really pissed off, in fact that was his go to threat, and a very popular with Omnyo Practitioners, known specially for their sealing powers. -And I’m going into that hole with you to chop you down for a thousand years- Shin added while taking his sword out of the wall with a single pull, once again igniting it with his ki.

Martha swung her legs harder than before, bored out of her skull. She hated being confined to the room. By chance, one of her swinging legs hit the leg of her desk and it was instantly snapped in half. The desk fell over, taking her with it. Her yelp of surprise turned into a veritable fit of swearing in every language she knew curses.
"Martha! Come up here!" Yuu yelled at the student. Grumbling and glowering, she came up to the desk. Yuu pulled her close and whispered into her ear. "Check out the other students in the Principle's Office then get back here." Martha sighed and nodded, leaving the room and walking the hallways to see who else was awaiting punishment. She just needed a quick image of anybody there.
"Yeah, strange... like ghost stuff." Jane gave her best hushed spooky voice. "You seen anything weird? Like floating stuff?" She could look for weird info on the people here, but everybody seemed a little weird. She wanted events. "I want everything you got. What happened? Who was there? When did it happen?" She demanded, waving a pencil over her notepad. She just had to keep up the tough reporter act.

"I want to go to a toy store. One that sells stuffed toys," Arthur said. "I need to buy some for my sisters, you see. I'm sure they'd get mad if I didn't." By sisters, he of course meant daughters, but he had years of practice calling them his sisters in public. A 15-year old with daughters would seem a little weird.

Shin tries his best to follow all the information being thrown at him by Seicho, so he could let him teammates know about all this later. However, his eyes widen upon seeing the images of the third year students and the shadowy figure around them. He couldn't believe what he is seeing here. He immediately breaks away from his conversation for a moment to scan the room with his Mizukara enhance vision as he searches for any signs of a supernatural presence, or the recent involvement of an unnatural activity within the room within the last few hours. He quickly turns to his friend, and his first thought is to let him know about his mission being here, but he quickly disregards the idea as he realizes that could lead some serious negative consequences. "What your plan?" he finally asked.
Shin begins to laugh nervously. "It was just a bit of food. No need to send me to eternal damnation over it....right?" he looks at the two of them worried that they would actually send him to hell. "Wait a minute..." If I get killed, I could always rejoin with my other half. Yet again, if I doesn't set the record start, they could go after the other Shin, who is probably thinking that I'm still watching the school from the rooftop. "Guys, don't get mad at the other Shin for my actions. I'm just his clone." "Or maybe he is a clone of me..." he thought for a second to himself. He starts to wonder how this how the whole spitting into two works again, but quickly snaps out of his existential debate to focus on what is happening around him.

The only one waiting outside the Headmaster’s office was Tsume, slouching on the couch with his feet up the one besides the one he was sitting on. He clearly was relaxed and didn’t mind being there. The door was closed and there was no light coming from the inside, maybe the Headmaster wasn’t in the office. Tsume lazily stretched and noticed Martha looking in his direction and waved. -Hello! Do you mind if I ask you some questions? Waiting for the Headmaster is boring…- He smiled, attempting to come out as charming but he seemed a bit creepy. -Would you indulge in some small talk?-
-Slow down, slow down.- Uwasa smiled. -You clearly have many questions, but I also have mine, care to exchange some information?- The President of the School Newspaper took a small, elegant bite from one of the cookies and resumed talking after swallowing. -You could start by telling me your name, as good manners dictate.- She didn’t seem to be chastising Jane, but there was something off on her voice, as if there always was an underlying motivation hidden behind her facade of cordiality. She added, talking to Aishi. -I like her, she has fire on her eyes and inquisitive zeal.-
-You’re in luck, one of my friends family runs a store that sell plushed dolls.- Tsubasa gently smiled. -I understand, I also have sisters, younger and older than me.- He was happy he had more points in common with this mysterious exchange student, maybe time would help to turn around his initial rejection and any common ground was a very good place from where he could start his “attack”. At least that was how Tsume explained to him when he asked how to be more romantic. He was talking about women, but Tsubasa thought he could apply some of the same principle on men. -I will take you there once classes end, meet me at the entrance gate.-
-They say that the Ghost roams the schools at night, leaving a trail of black blood, black as a moonless midnight.- Seicho read from some of the witness statements he had on his notebook. -I say we meet in the school tonight and we track down the Ghost.- The Young Detective’s eyes gleamed with anticipation waiting for Shin’s reply.
-I know you’re a clone you imbecile.- Norio shouted at Shin, as his son looked at the Mizukara swordsman with shock. The Old Inspector turned to see his son and shook his head in disappointment. -You spent too much time playing with that sharp stick of yours and not enough reading the files again, right?- Shin Bushitora lowered his eyes and the flames of his sword died out. Norio turned again to face the Clone. -You shouldn’t be here, go be useful and scout the surroundings of the school.- Norio lowered the barrier and pointed towards the exit.
-And one more thing.- He added before Shin started to leave. -When you re-join your original self tell him that all the new food and any repairs to the inn will come from his paycheck, not to mention both of you will be given a single portion of food and nothing else.- Norio’s tone was strict, almost harsh, but this Shin was too similar to his son and he would use the same discipline if needed.
