-Recap time!
-Previously, Yashiro, Kou, and Teru look for Mitsuba due to Kou worrying for him
-They found him safe and sound with Hanako who was disguised as Hana at the time
-Mitsuba's conversation with Hanako revealed a secret
-While Yashiro and Hanako decided to continue the deal they made, they both started feeling something for one another
-What will happen?
-Yashiro was still looking into Yako's case of Missing Misaki
-Yakoo and Satou were now reported as missing since there was no contact with them so far
-Other people seem to have been disappearing too and it was concerning
-As Yashiro was looking through the files at Tsuchigomori's detective agency one day
-Tsuchigomori suddenly told her that she was off the case
-Yashiro: "What?? Why?! Tsuchigomori-sensei! I can do this! I may not have found much so far but I haven't given up!"
-Tsuchigomori: "I know that. I've granted you permission but Yako-san had told me that there is a police detective who volunteered to help her out. I don't know much of the details but the detective was just recently discharged from the hospital. Since they're a professional, Yako-san put them in charge so I'm afraid you don't have much of a say. You're still an apprentice, Yashiro-san."
-Yashiro was not pleased.
-Yashiro: "Can't I still do something about the case though?"
-Tsuchigomori: "They will be coming here in a few days to pick up the case files so perhaps you could speak with them."
-Yashiro: "Alright!"
-The door to the agency opened at this moment
-Yashiro turned her head from Tsuchigomori to see her best friend Aoi coming in
-Aoi would come by the agency once in a while to check up on Yashiro
-Yashiro: "Aoi!"
-Aoi: "Nene-chan, I'm here to visit~! How are you doing?"
-Yashiro: "I've been pretty busy. Actually, this is perfect timing. I've been meaning to talk with you about something. Let's go grab a drink!"
-Aoi: "Oh?"
-Yashiro: "See you, Tsuchigomori-sensei!"
-Tsuchigomori did a nonchalant wave as they left the agency
-Yashiro and Aoi both went to a cafe outside to chat with each other
-Yashiro told Aoi what was troubling her and how she had been feeling lately
-Aoi: "You know what I think? You've definitely got a crush on Hanako~"
-Yashiro spat out her drink, choking a bit
-Yashiro: "WHAT?!"
-Yashiro's yell attracted attention from people around her and she quickly looked around and lowered her voice
-The people went back to minding their own business
-Yashiro: "How did you know I was talking about him? I didn't even mention his name."
-Aoi: "Who else have you been in contact with who has those traits and level of charisma? Nene-chan, I know you."
-Yashiro: "Indeed. You know me so well, Aoi"
-Yashiro put her head against the table as she internally cried
-Aoi: "Don't worry~ I'll keep it a secret ♡"
-Yashiro: "Aoi....it doesn't make any sense. He's not even my type."
-Aoi: "Hm that's true. But why not try confessing to him and see how that goes?"
-Yashiro flustered at her words
-Yashiro: "W-wait Aoi! You know what you're saying, right? I mean, he's a criminal."
-Aoi: "You don't have much experience with guys anyways. You always get fooled by a pretty face. I think it'll be good for you."
-Yashiro felt like she was getting stabbed in the heart by Aoi's words. She was spot on.
-Yashiro: [sweatdrops] "Eah well you're not wrong...I wonder if it's too soon though"
-Aoi: "Grab the chance when you can, Nene-chan!"
-And with that, they started talking about other topics and catching up
-Akane was still as usual attempting to confess to Aoi
-The topic of missing people came up in their conversation
-Akane mentioned to Aoi that he hasn't been hearing from Yamabuki-kun lately
-He actually insisted on coming with Aoi to the agency since he was worried something might happen
-Yashiro: "Eh? So, where is Akane-kun?"
-Aoi: "I put him to sleep~"
-Yashiro: "You what now, Aoi?!"
-Aoi: "It's okay. I'll be back to see him before he wakes up. Hanako's escape tactics are pretty useful~"
-Yashiro: [sweatdrops] "Aoi...."
-They finished up their conversations and drinks and headed off to their homes around sunset
-Yashiro was expecting Hanako tonight since a pink Mokke came earlier in the day
-She waited in her apartment until his arrival
-A knock at the window and Yashiro opened it up for Hanako
-Yashiro: [smiles] "You came."
-Hanako: [smiles] "Of course I did."
-Hanako hopped inside but he didn't sit down
-Hanako: "Hey detective, how about we do something different today?"
-Yashiro: "Different?"
-Hanako: "Let's go out."
-Yashiro fought her blush down as she realized he meant to go somewhere else
-Yashiro: "But isn't it pretty late to be going out?"
-Hanako: "Don't worry. I'm with you. And if anything happens, I'll protect you."
-Yashiro's blush surfaced from those words
-Yashiro: "Okay, let me get dressed first."
-Hanako waited down at the bottom of the apartment
-Yashiro finally came out and went to Hanako
-Yashiro: "Sorry to make you wait!"
-When Hanako turned to face her, the first thing he noticed was her hair
-Hanako: "You let your hair down"
-Yashiro: "You did mention it before. So where are we going?"
-Hanako: "I'll take you there. Follow me."
-Hanako took her hand and they started walking
-It took a while before they reached their destination
-The silence didn't bother each other though
-Rather, they felt comfortable in each other's company
-Hanako and Yashiro were now at the rooftop of a building, staring up at the night sky
-There wasn't really anyone around at this time
-Yashiro: "Wow, the stars are so pretty tonight."
-Hanako: "They really are huh."
-Yashiro: "Why this place?"
-Hanako: "You can see the stars clearly from here."
-Yashiro: "You've been here before?"
-Hanako: "Yeah, I held a heist here in the past."
-Yashiro: "Really?"
-Hanako: "Yep. I guess at the time, you weren't an apprentice yet. Detective Tsuchigomori was also at the heist. Good times~"
-Yashiro: "It sounds like you know Tsuchigomori-sensei."
-Hanako: "Haha I didn't mention it before but we had our own little conversations."
-A pause
-Hanako: "Hey detective."
-Yashiro: "Hm?"
-Hanako: "You're not seriously falling in love with me, are you?"
-Yashiro:
-Hanako: "I'm just recalling one of my conversations with the great detective. He told me once that if I kept up my behavior and actions, I may make someone seriously fall for me and hurt them, which is ironic since I'm a gentleman thief haha. Well you can forget that question--"
-Yashiro: "And what if that happened?"
-Yashiro couldn't keep her mouth shut
-Yashiro: "What if I really did fall in love with you?"
-Hanako's eyes widened in shock
-At first, his chest was filled with happy delight but dread quickly took over his body when his mind registered Yashiro's words
-Hanako: "...You're kidding."
-Yashiro: "I'm not! I think to Hanako-kun, I actually lo--"
-Hanako suddenly grabbed Yashiro by the waist and lifted her against his side
-Hanako: "A phantom thief and detective cannot be together. Not with me."
-Hanako started walking along the roof edge with Yashiro, the wind blowing in their direction
-Yashiro: "AHHH I'M GONNA FALL! I'M GONNA FALL!"
-Hanako: "Let the breeze calm you down. I'll let you down if you take back your words."
-Yashiro: "I won't! You said that you would protect me just earlier!"
-Hanako: "I did but--"
-Yashiro: "Is there a reason why you won't use my real name at all? I've told you before, didn't I?"
-Hanako: "I..."
-Yashiro: "Do you not love me back? ....You never really thought that I was cute?"
-Yashiro's tears were threatening to burst
-Hanako felt overwhelmed by the situation as he stared eyes wide at Yashiro's crying face
-His mind was in so much shock
-He accidentally let go of Yashiro
-And Yashiro
-She was falling
-Off the building
-A moment later, Hanako screamed in horror when he realized what he did
-Hanako: "YASHIRO!"
-He dived after her
-Yashiro was currently feeling like an idiot as she was falling
-She thought she got ahead of herself and confessed without thinking
-Hanako: "YASHIRO! GRAB MY HAND!"
-Yashiro snapped out of her thoughts to see Hanako reaching his hand towards her
-She was pissed that he decided to finally use her name after she called him out on it
-At this critical moment, she decided to be stubborn
-Yashiro: "NO! DON'T TOUCH ME!"
-Hanako: "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!"
-Yashiro: "YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE ME SO DON'T TOUCH ME!"
-Hanako was running out of time. They were about to hit the ground.
-Hanako: "LOOK! I'LL PROMISE NOT TO TOUCH YOU AGAIN SO PLEASE FOR THIS TIME LET ME SAVE YOU!"
-Yashiro widened her eyes as she reached her hand up for him to grab on
-Hanako held Yashiro as they floated down safely using his fancy garment as a parchute
-They stayed in each other's arms once they were on the ground, Yashiro burying her face in Hanako's shoulder
-It really wasn't fair
---
-Mitsuba had returned to his apartment earlier that evening
-When he opened the door, he wasn't expecting Tsukasa to be hanging out in his room
-Mitsuba: "What?! What are you doing here?"
-Tsukasa: "Now now don't be like that, Mitsuba~"
-Mitsuba: "I don't have any photos for you. Wouldn't you rather hang out elsewhere like the news department or something?"
-Tsukasa: "Sakura and the other guy aren't there right now. I don't feel like sneaking in. Besides"
-Tsukasa peered over at Mitsuba with his eyes that seemed to be an endless void
-Tsukasa: "I know what you've been doing, Mitsuba"
-Mitsuba felt complete dread and terror
-How did Tsukasa know?! He left his phone off for a reason!
-He thought he wouldn't get tracked that way!
-Unless
-Mitsuba touched his hair clip
-There could be a tracker in his hair clip
-Mitsuba felt like he was sweating his life away
-He was a fool to think he could get away from Tsukasa
-Tsukasa may have been spying on him
-Tsukasa: "You know..."
-Mitsuba snapped out of his thoughts to look at Tsukasa. To what he's holding in his hands
-Tsukasa was holding pictures of Kou that Mitsuba had taken before
-Tsukasa: "I noticed that this guy's important to you and he cares for you. Hey...what if he could experience what it's like to be dying?"
-Mitsuba flinched
-Mitsuba: "DON'T TOUCH THOSE!"
-Tsukasa stared him down
-Mitsuba: ".....please"
-Tsukasa grinned
-Tsukasa: "Don't worry Mitsuba! I like you! So that's why I got someone to make sure you stay safe!"
-Mitsuba: "What?"
-A person appeared behind Tsukasa
-Tsukasa: "Meet Shijima Mei! She's a police detective!"
