Investigation 2: Chapter 1

Maki: Sounds like the Kujo Family’s going to be holding a party. An invitation came.

Hiyama: The same invitation has been sent my way too.

Hiyama: There are stunning flowers of all seasons blooming in their garden, so I’d definitely want to see them for myself.

Maki: I got an invitation, so I’m planning on turning up. What about you, Kyosuke?

Kyosuke: Yeah, I have that day off so I think I’ll turn up.

Hiyama: Hatori and Kagura probably got invited too; I’ll check with them later.

Kyosuke: ...Wait, huh?

Maki: What’s the matter?

Kyosuke: This wax seal that’s been imprinted onto the invitation...

Kyosuke: It seems like we’ve got ourselves different designs.

Hiyama: ? Let me see.

Maki: You’re right. Hiyama-kun and Kyosuke both got the rose design. Mine’s the only one with the “K” insignia.

Maki: Come to think of it, it was written in the letter that we had to bring along our individual envelopes on that day itself too.

Hiyama: It’s them we’re talking about; I’m sure they have a plan up their sleeves.

Maki: Which means that whatever it is, it’ll be a secret until the day itself.

Kyosuke: I’m looking forward to seeing what happens.

─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆

Hinata: I think I’ll go with a cream soda. How about you, Kana?

Kaname: I’ll take...an iced-coffee.

Hinata: Alright, it’s decided then. Right, I’ve received your invitation by the way. Thanks.

Hinata: Everyone says that they’ll try to make it on the day to participate.

Kaname: I see. They don’t have to force themselves to come by if they can’t make it though.

Hinata: I’m going though. The secret hidden within the invitation has piqued my interest anyway.

Kaname: Whatever are you talking about?

Hinata: Hehe. It really tests your observation skills.

Ping-

Kaname: ...Oh, sorry. It’s Koya-kun. Could you give me a moment?

Hinata: Sure, no problem.

Kaname: (He wants to introduce all the participating members for the event next Sunday, he says...)

Kaname: (Well, I suppose that guy is pretty much one of us from the Kujo Family.)

Kaname: (Guess I’ll give him an OK.)

☆⋅⋆ …⋅─────────────────────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆

Investigation 2: Chapter 2

--And then, a couple more days later. I ended up visiting the Rose Garden together with Kirishima-kun and the others.

Kirishima: Whoa- This is amazing! Roses, roses, everywhere!

Kaname: I mean, it IS a Rose Garden for a reason.

Kujo: This is brilliant.

Shindou: This alone proves to be a pretty spectacular view.

Miyase: Each and every one of those roses are stunning. I’m sure they were all raised with lots of love.

─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆

--And then, just last week. Kirishima-san sent us all a certain invitation through a Group LIME.

Rei: (The group name’s “Miyase Party”)

Rei: (There’s no mistaking it; this must be a group for that party.)

Rei: (But why am I getting this?)

In any case, I decided to give my OK in response to the new invitation, and when I scrolled upwards to look at the chat’s log…

“Kirishima: Let’s meet-up at 8AM next Saturday at the Kujo Manor!”

“Kirishima: Everyone inside this group is to come!”

The message was posted inside the group as such, no questions asked.

─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆

Kaname: Sorry for making you put up with us this early in the morning despite it being your day-off, big sis.

Kaname: I just couldn’t stand hearing Koya-kun’s non-stop whining about wanting you to participate in this as well.

Rei: Not at all; don’t worry about it. Rather, I’m glad to be invited.

Rei: But why are we in a Rose Garden of all places?

Kaname: It’s one of the things we have to thank Go-san with.

Kaname: On record, Kujo-san said that he wanted to change up the garden’s scenery up a little.

Kaname: He wanted to spruce it up to show everyone how magnificent his garden is, knowing that Go-san would be proud of it when it’s at it’s prime.

Miyase: Wow, these Eventail d'or are beautiful…

Miyase: I’ve heard that it’s extremely hard to breed this particular species of rose.

Staff: It requires a dose of pesticide and fertilizer once every 10 days.

Staff: But it does bloom beautifully, for all the trouble it’s worth.

Miyase: They must have been raised with lots of love and care. Ahh...how wonderful.

Rei: (His eyes are sparkling in delight to be surrounded by such flowers.)

Kujo: …...

Kujo-san’s watchful eyes were all so soft as they looked over Miyase-san.

Surely, this must be one of the gifts they had decided to bestow upon Miyase-san, as a token of gratitude.

Miyase: This one here’s a King Rose, isn’t it. How absolutely lovely…

Kirishima: Let’s buy out everything that catches your eye. Bring out the one with whatever’s the name called earlier too.

Miyase: Ahh, sorry! It’s alright, you don’t have to! It just piqued my interest!

Kaname: Koya-kun, Miyase-san still looks like he’s thinking things through.

Kirishima: Ngh...I see. My bad.

Miyase: Not at all. Thank you for taking note of it though.

Miyase: Then...Could I get these ones here?

The roses he picked were whitish-pink in colour.

Kujo: How pretty. Are these Vine Roses?

Miyase: Yes. They’re called Shrub Roses since they’re half-hanging roses.

Miyase: I think it’ll turn out really picturesque if we hang it on the arch we have in our garden.

Kujo: There’s no problem with it if you say so. We’ll be taking that one then.

Staff: Understood.

The employee carefully packaged the rose seedlings. And Miyase-san beamed as he received them.

Miyase: Thank you so much, Kujo-san. I’ll raise them lovingly!

Kirishima: Yeah. I can’t wait for the day that those Shrub Roses start blooming.

Rei: (An arch decorated with whitish-pink roses...)

Rei: (I’m sure it’ll be a magnificent sight to behold if Miyase-san’s the one raising them with love.)

Kirishima: ...Nuwareria and candy rufuna were…

Kirishima: Jumping, and then..

Kirishima: Ah- Damn it, it’s no good. I don’t know what’s head or tails anymore…

Rei: ……?

Kaname: Koya-kun, we’re leaving.

Kirishima: Hm? Oh, okay.

Rei: (Wonder what’s up with him?)

─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆

--And then, on the morning of the party itself.

Kirishima: Oh, Miyase. Sorry, but could you come along with me to buy some stuff?

Kirishima: I want to go look for milk that goes well with my new protein.

Miyase: Sure. Let’s head on to Akechi-ya then.

Miyase: They sell their original brand of milk down there so I think there’ll be a wide variety for you to choose from.

Kirishima: Seriously? Sounds fun. We’ll be heading out for a bit then!

Kaname: Okay, have a safe trip.

Kujo: Take care.

Kachak

Kaname: ...They’ve both just gone out of the gates.

Kujo: Then, allow the operation to commence.

Riiing, riiiiing

“Yes. This is Felicia Catering Services speaking.”

Kujo: Please proceed with the party preparations just like we’ve discussed.

“Roger.”

Beep

Kujo: ...This should do it. They’ll take care of things from here.

☆⋅⋆ …⋅─────────────────────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆

Investigation 2: Chapter 3

Miyase: I’m back!

Miyase: ……!

Miyase: What...in the world…?

Kirishima: Oh! This is perfect! As expected of a Pro; they’re really quick with their hands!

Kujo: I see that you’re back, Go.

Kirishima: Kujo-san, what’s with all of these…?

Kujo: We have decided to cordially hold a thank you party for you to thank you for your daily efforts.

Kujo: As such, you, the star of the party, should simply enjoy yourself.

Miyase: No...You didn’t have to go so far...as to do this much for someone like me…

Kirishima: It’s fine! Ya’ don’t have to do anything today. Just tuck into the food and drinks; sing and dance!

Kaname: Everyone just fancies such a lively set-up, so just let them take care of you for today.

Miyase: ...Thank you. I’ll take you guys up for your word then.

Kirishima: ‘Right! They’re gonna be here soon. Kaname, we’re gonna go prepare!

Kaname: Yes, yes.

─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆

The party reception had already begun by the time I reached the Kujo Manor.

Rei: (Oh! Kirishima-san and Kaname-kun are over there. Should I turn in my invitation over there instead?)

When I got close enough to the gates to call out to them--

Kirishima: ‘ELCOME!

Rei: ……!

Kaname: Koya-kun, this isn’t an Izakaya. Look, she’s clearly startled.

Kirishima: Oop, you’re right. I couldn’t help but to revert back to my usual habits.

Kirishima: ...Ahem. Welcome; we’ve been awaiting your arrival.

He bowed gracefully; elegantly.

Rei: !

Kirishima: ...How’s that?

Rei: Super cool!

Kirishima: Coolio! It’s thanks to the special training I received under Kaname.

Rei: You’re both really spectacular today. It’s almost as if you’re real butlers!

Kirishima: Well, that’s because the theme we have going today’s a Butler Cafe.

Rei: B-Butler Cafe?

Kaname: It’s a concept where we all become butlers and serve the customers hospitably.

Rei: I see, that’s an interesting concept.

Rei: Oh, right. Can I sign in here?

Kaname: Of course you can. Could I see your invitation?

I pulled out the invitation along with the envelope it was sealed in and watched as he stamped it.

Kaname: X makes the mark. Now you can enjoy all of the food and drinks we have prepared inside.

Kirishima: Do enjoy yourself to the fullest today.

Rei: Thank you. I’ll be heading on in then.

Kirishima & Kaname: Have a nice day.

I passed through the gate as they both saw me off.

Investigation 2: Chapter 4

Rei: (Wow. The table decorations are really extravagant.)

Rei: (All the food looks really tantalizing too. It makes me feel hungry just by looking at them…)

Miyase: Hello, Izumi-san. Welcome.

Rei: Miyase-kun! I guess...congratulations...for today?

Miyase: Hehe. You don’t have to be so formal; it’s all alright.

Rei: Here. This is just a small gift to thank you for your everyday efforts.

His expression softened as I handed him the wrapped package.

Miyase: ...This is?

Rei: An apron. I thought of it when I started thinking along the lines of getting you something that’ll be of daily use to you.

Miyase: ……!

Miyase: Thank you so much. I’m really happy. I’ll take good care of it and use it well!

Miyase: Still, all that being said...I never thought that there’d be so many people gathered here just for this.

Rei: I think everyone has gathered here because they’re all thankful towards you.

Miyase: I’ve not done anything at all. I’ve only simply taken care of the garden and made food for everyone...

Miyase: That’s all I’ve done, and yet they’ve thrown me such a spectacular party.

Miyase: It’s so brilliant that I feel it’s a waste on someone like me, who only does things that come naturally.

Rei: ...This is just my personal feelings;

Rei: But I think that you always make delicious food and the mansion’s always beautifully maintained.

Rei: And the tea you serve is also really calming.

Miyase: …...

Rei: So, I think that even if you feel that it’s only natural for you to be doing these things,

Rei: those actions of yours have made people thankful towards you and have also granted them happiness.

Rei: That’s why, today’s the day where they’re all gathered here to convey their feelings. So, I think they’ll be happy if you’ll watch over them.

Miyase: …...

Rei: Sorry, I got too caught up in the moment and said some weird things, didn’t I…?

Miyase: ...Thank you. It makes me feel a little better, somehow.

Investigation 2: Chapter 5

Sugano: Oh, it’s Rei! Good work~

Rei: Sugano-kun! Good work today too.

Sugano: Man~ There’s a real crowd in here. I’m really getting into the mood now!

Asagiri: Please remember to keep your alcohol consumption to a reasonable amount.

Sugano: Got’cha~

Aoyama: He’s not a kid so I’m sure he can control himself at least that much.

Asagiri: ……! Aoyama.

Asagiri: This has nothing to do with you; it’s a Investigation Planning Department problem.

Asagiri: Did you take any precautions against your own juniors?

Aoyama: Even if you ask me that, I’m pretty sure they’re all capable of controlling themselves.

Aoyama: The fact that you’re being so mouthy over this whole matter serves as further proof that you don’t have enough faith in your own juniors, don’t you think?

Asagiri: ...Oh?

Sugano: Ahaha, there they go again.

Rei: Hahaha…

Imaoji: Still, I never expected this many people to turn up; amazingly.

Yui: Ahh. What a great party this is with delicious wine to boot.

Yui: Who would’ve thought that I’d see Ch.Le Pin being served here.

Rei: Yui-san, since when did you obtain something like that?

Yui: It’s being put out on the catering table. You can go get some if you’d like to drink.

Rei: (It’s not even time to clink glasses and say cheers yet, but there he is. He really does things at his own pace at always...)

Imaoji: I hope Seki-san and Natsume-kun can make it in time.

Rei: You’re right. And Watabe-san too.

Hiyama: Izumi? You’re already here?

Rei: Hiyama-san! And Maki-kun too! It’s been such a long time...or so I’d like to say, but it hasn’t really been that long.

Maki: We somehow met each other again not too long ago for a bit.

Maki: Oh, right. Miyase-san, this is from Hatori and Aki.

Maki: They’re snacks that go well together with wine. Seems like they got it for you as an apology for being unable to come today.

Miyase: Thank you. I’ll treasure it.

Kyosuke: Thank goodness that I made it in time.

Rei: Kyosuke-kun! Is Makoto-san with you today as well?

Kyosuke: I tried calling him but he didn’t pick up.

Kyosuke: He’s probably still asleep since it looks like he pulled an all-nighter right before his current dateline.

Kyosuke: But he did say that he was coming to this party, so maybe he’ll make it just in time before the party ends.

Kawai: Oh, Rei-saaan!

Rei: Hikaru-kun! You came too?

Kawai: Yeah. We, of Seo Lab, got invitations too. Everyone’s here too~

Rei: Everyone came here?

Kawai: Yup. Ikuto-san’s has already gone off somewhere in that direction though.

Looking in the direction of where Hikaru-kun pointed at, I spotted him having a friendly chat with Hiyama-san.

Rei: (As canny as ever, I see...)
