"Mo~! They can't just do this to me!" Exclaimed a 22-year-old male acting like a whining kid.

Momentarily you let out a sigh from his tantrum and the fact you both are tied facing each other.

While your hands were tied behind the wall post.

"Not fair! They even took my glasses and the packet of sweets"

"...So have mine," you said making him stop whining as he sat up while his hands were tied behind.

"You finally spoke!"

"...yes?"

"...Why did they kidnap you for?" He asked as you shrugged.

He peeks with one of his eyes slightly then close again with a pout.

"I wanted to have the sweet that I just brought! They must be enjoying eating it away! I spent my salary on it"

"I'm sure they will"

"...that is not helping me"

"...I suppose even my share of sweets will be eaten"

"...it is not helping us at all does it?"

"I... Suppose"

He leaned a bit staring at you then leaned away and sighed.

"Are you not worried one bit?"

"Shall I... be?"

"...most of the girls in your place will have crying out loud"

"...how old do you think I am to cry about?"

"...hmm... Maybe around my age?"

"...14?"

"Exactly not, I'm 22!" He stated as he moved a bit uncomfortably by the chains.

"What shall I do... There might be other citizens that are kidnapped too"

"Hmm... I suppose why not fight with them?"

"Not all can fight and two of them are ability users"

"Ability users... What exactly are ability users?" You asked curiously as he smiled.

"Those are very specially selected like me! My ultra deduction can help me clear any truth behind the case"

"Any?"

"Because I am Sekai saikō no mei Tantei (the greatest detective in the world)"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...So how exactly does it work?"

"I need my glasses unfortunately they took it."

You thought for a moment then glanced at him.

"Where do abilities come from?"

"That is a difficult question not founded, unfortunately"

"Hmm..."

"Beside it, we gotta leave... I'm getting hungry they didn't even feed us the whole day!"

"Perhaps... they have a motive"

"I assume it is because of human trafficking... As a detective, I was checking on the case... But I bump into you and... What luck don't you think?"

"I suppose... my luck is good"

"Eh?"

"Precisely... I enjoy your company and the fact I was able to make..." You pause in thought then smile slightly.

"Friends with you"

"...do you know your looks can manipulate any person's feelings?"

"What?"

"Nothing," he said as he looked around the dark room trying to think of a way to get out somehow but unfortunately it would risk his life.

"...if only we had someone who can fight..."

"..."

"..."

"I..." You thought for a moment as the person in front looked confused yet you looked determined at him.

"I can fight"

"...it will be too risky"

"...I know but we have to act upon or the ship will sail"

"Ship?"

"Yes... We are on a ship"

"..."

"..."

"I knew that I am just shocked you found out too," he said with folded arms as you sweatdrop.

"...alright?"

"...What's your name?" He suddenly asked as you blinked twice.

"Y/n... what's yours?"

"Ranpo Edogawa the only world's greatest detective!"

Ranpo POV

T

The sky was as dark as the clouds making it seem like a storm was coming precisely it.

I could hear the thundering voice echoing after the lightning that struck the sea that seemed so near the ship.

'Sh*t because of me she...' I thought to myself as I recalled her being hit by the two-ability users who didn't even hesitate to kill the other person.

Precisely may have died as those two were criminals... And the fact their abilities were strong and would not hesitate to kill her.

My hands were losing their grip at the end of the ship as the person stepped onto my hands I groaned in pain holding only one hand now.

"I'm doing a favor, don't worry that woman will not die she will be worth so much because of her face. You should be feeling lucky you are just going to drown in the ocean! And the fact because of you both I have to kill the other captives makes a lot of loss for me!"

"You-ugh!"

Before the person steps on my other hand one more time.

The blood splattered on my face as I stared at the man's body falling over the ocean bleeding neck.

I stare at the splatter of water and then slowly look up.

Her hair fluttered with the wind as her eyes held no remorse for killing the person.

With one hand she pull me up back to the ship.

My eyes flicker onto her and then at the surroundings.

"You... Murder them all"

"..." She walked away without a word as I quickly followed her.

My eyes flicker onto one of the abilities users who is bleeding out while gasping for air with the hand outstretched calling for help.

"..." I ignore them and walk with her.

"..."

"...one of them is hiding but I cannot find them," she said while walking gracefully.

She sheathed her sword onto her hip as she walked.

"The police will be here any minute... Y/n"

"..."

"...You should leave"

Your steps halted as you side glanced at him.

"... I shall not... until I kill the last"

"Why?"

"..."

"...You will be called a murderer if you stay"

"I am... What will it change if I leave either... Before getting arrested... Why not kill the last"

"..."

"For my blade has tainted so much blood... Those innocent lives should be justified by killing the last"

"...murder is never the answer"

"...let it stay unanswered then."

"Y/n..."

She ignored me as she threw the box alarming me yet I caught it.

"Your ability glasses..." She simply said and walked away I opened the box to see it was truly mine.

Contemplating but quickly wearing my glasses and rushed to her.

"Wait" I grab her wrist as she stops on her way.

"I will find the last person," I said as her eyes widened a bit.

I arranged my glasses and then narrowed my eyebrows for a moment.

She waited for me as I slowly opened my eyes.

"The last person..." I told her about how the person took the opportunity to run to the bottom of the ship to get a boat to run away.

"So... the person ran away?" She asked as I shook my head.

"He..." As my eyes widened at what was about to happen my eyes flickered onto the man who had shot.

Before I could react within my vision I saw an electricity spark. More likely it was the purple spark.

Y/n stood before me as she held onto her sword and the bullet fell in half.

The man panicked and was about to run she was about to chase after the man mostly to kill yet I stopped her by her wrist.

"Wha-"

"The police are here! Y/n!"

"...but the man!"

"They will arrest him!"

"..." Her movement relaxes as my hand reaches out onto her face yet halted when I hear footsteps.

Both of us turn to face a familiar man whom I recognized.

"What happens... Here?" Fukuzawa asked and I side glanced at her and then at him.

"The criminal gang which I was looking upon the case kidnapped us here... They killed the other victims" I said as Fukuzawa walked forward his eyes focused on both of us.

"...the capture one seems to be stricken in fear... And those men of his were killed... Who did it?"

"I-"/ " Of course someone with an ability," I said cutting her off.

My hand on her wrist tightened slightly as I felt her staring at me.

My eyes fell to the ground as Fukuzawa stood silently.

"Ranpo... Who is the ability user?"

"I do not-"

"It was me" she confesses as I shake my head.

"It wasn't-"

"You?" Fukuzawa asked as she nodded. Fukuzawa's eyes flickered onto her sword and then at me.

"...I killed them"

"..."

"So... you confessed it is your doing?"

"Yes"

"She did that because they cornered us to that point, President she-!"

"No matter what... you have killed... Consequences will be there"

She raises her other hand.

"So be it"

"..."

"..."

I stare at her wrist being covered with the chain as she walks out with a police officer.

About to walk with her yet Fukuzawa stopped me from doing so.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"...it was out of self-defense"

"Yes it is but the fact you try to cover up for her"

"..."

"Ranpo, I know she did it for self-defense, and the fact unlike others she confessed her crime right after that doesn't mean you have to cover up for her... You were going to blame some nonexistent criminal for the crime"

"..."

"Or some made up the person who we captured was the one to kill"

"..."

I felt my glasses being taken away from my face alarming me.

"W-wait!"

"Until... you realize what you have done wrong on your part... These glasses will be with me"

"..."

As we walked in silence for a moment as he sighed.

"What makes you attach to her in just some hours?"

"I am not attached to her... She... Her eyes held some unexplained guilt she... She even confessed she..."

"Isn't bad?"

"...yeah"

"...and what about it?"

"...I was wondering if we could bring her to the agency... I mean..."

"..."

"After her shared of... Justice has been given she won't be staying in jail for years right?"

"I suppose not..." Fukuzawa replied as he let out a sigh.

"Regarding bringing her off the agency..."

"...after this stuff will see"

I beamed in happiness as I rushed out.

Thankfully the ship has finally reached back to the port.

"Y/n!" I called out to her as her steps stopped before she was taken away to a police car.

"Yes?"

"After this! Let's have cake together in the same cafe!"

"..." Her eyes widen slightly as I hold onto her hand and intertwine my pinky with hers.

"It is a promise alright"

"I..." She looked confused as she was pulled by the police yet I could see her soft smile and a whisper.

"Yes..."

As the police car drove away I stood there watching for a moment.

"Ne! President"

"Hmm?" Fukuzawa side glances at me yet I smile holding out the two packages of sweets.

"Can we visit her if we can? I want to return her sweet package too"

"...you are acting more of a brat now"

"Please! Yosano-san can also come!"

"..." Fukuzawa sighed yet nodded making me beamed up a bright smile.

For some reason...I don't know why she makes me happy.

But it doesn't matter to me.

"Also can we bring some pork bun for the offering?"

"Yosano already offered"

I pouted saying it was supposed to be my turn as we walked into the forest path.

"Next time... you can offer it to the goddess"

I nodded as I looked at the sky.

"Ne president today I truly felt the goddess was helping me... The sky was grey and it was like it was about to rain but now it isn't perhaps..." As I smile up at Fukuzawa.

"The goddess has brought y/n to save me"

"Perhaps"

As we both stopped at the shrine there the eye of eternity stood while the hooded goddess statue sat. As small as the shrine stone was.

I kneeled and kept down some share of my sweets as Fukuzawa arranged the incense and lit it up.

'Dear goddess... Thank you for watching over me today...' I prayed inside my head.

My eyes focused on the statue as I was curious to peek into the statue.

Unfortunately, the stone had no carved face underneath the cloth as I sighed Fukuzawa finished his prayer.

We both stood and left with a final bow and left the forest.

Fukuzawa's phone rang at the end of the gate as he received his phone.

I stare at the dragonfly that was on my finger.

"What do you mean the officer never returns?"

I stopped paying attention to the dragonfly.

"...okay... Alright" as Fukuzawa kept away his phone.

"What happens, the president?"

"The women we just took have gone missing... The police officer who took her away"

"..." I frowned more about to ask more yet Fukuzawa shook his head.

"The police said they will handle it"

"But..."

"Precisely... The officer might be accomplished of the criminals"
