I gave them all the information they need.
Only then Tsukasa laughed.
"I told you, if it's this player, He can clear this floor easily." He said looking at Sin.
Sin looked at Tsukasa then looked at me.
"Just how...? How did you find all that if you can't find the autopsy?" He asked as he seemed to not believe me.
"Elementary my dear." I said looking at him smugly.
Yes, I was quoting sherlock there. Sin looked at me and then replied.
"There's no way! You must have snuck there and looked at the autopsy!" Sin was mad at me clearly not wanting to believe what I did.
I didn't tell them what I did, I looked at Luna who was looking at me clearly wanting to spill the beans.
I shake my head to signal her to not do it.
"Anyways with all the evidence we have now, we can put some pieces together." I said as I then grabbed a notebook from Tsukasa's desk.
Opening it I realized some things were written already.
"Is Haruki a.... Vampire?" I read one of the things written as suddenly Na-eun grabbed the notebook.
"Whoops! I forgot my notebook there! F-F-Forget what you saw." She said as I then looked at her silently.
I walk behind her and then grab her horns.
"Haruki No... NO HARUKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII NOOOOOOOOOOOOO." Was what she said as I smiled while grabbed her horns.
"Anyways." I said after pinning her horns onto the wall I looked at the rest.
"I need some papers to write stuff in." I said as Tsukasa gave me an empty notebook.
"Keep it for yourself to write clues." He said as I began writing the information I collected.
After eventually writing down the clues.
I began going through them with the others.
"I think I have a suspect." I said as I then walked over to a board with the map of the city.
looking at it, I point at a dolls shop.
"This might be where the puppets come from." I said as Na-eun then replied.
"Oh! This is great! we should go now then!" She seemed eager to go and investigate.
"Alright then, Me and Haruki will go. The rest will stay." Tsukasa suddenly said as everyone was shocked.
"What..?! Why?!" Na-eun said shocked at what he said.
"Wait why just us?" I asked as he replied.
"Well everyone got their time to investigate with you except for me, dear Player. I believe it is my turn." He smiled and then gestured us to head out.
We left the agency just the two of us.
"So, tell me Player. How is life outside of the tower?" He asked as I noticed something.
anytime it's just us two, he'd call me Player.
"Well, Life is... good. I mean sure there are hardships here and there, But it can be amazing." I said as he looked at me with a puzzled look.
"Hardship? How so?" He asked as I replied.
"Well finding a job is hard, and trying to survive is well... sometimes difficult. Especially when you're the only grown up in the family." I was always the one to try and get money in my family because well, My mom was sick back then...
"What about parents?" He asked as I replied.
"Both are dead." I said as I was now feeling a bit emotional.
"And I had a sister. But I killed her." I said as he seemed shocked.
"You killed your own sister? That's interesting... I'm starting to understand what kind of person you are." Was he judging me based on my replies?
. . .
"Haruki." Tsukasa said as he then continued talking.
"You are going to betray us for your own benefit won't you?" He asked as my eyes widened.
He thinks I'm going to betray him? Why is he thinking like this?
"What brought this up?" I asked as he then kicked me to the nearby alleyway.
What was his problem?! I hadn't done anything wrong!
"Nghh..." I stood up and pulled out my dagger.
"What is your problem?!" I shouted as he then looked at me and moved his leg up.
"Haruki Suou, I've deemed you a dangerous heartless monster." Tsukasa seemed to have built an image of me in that sense.
"Why are you doing this?!" I asked as he didn't reply but simply said.
"I will kill you." He said as he rushed at me trying to kick me.
I began attacking him, but he was dodging me.
As I kept trying to hit him, He suddenly gave me an upper kick and then grabbed my daggers.
"Any last words?" He asked as he was getting close to stab me.
"You don't have to do this, Tsukasa." I said as he then threw the dagger in front of me.
"I was just messing with you!" He began laughing as he then says "You should've seen your face!" I looked at him shocked at what he just did as a 'Joke'
"Worry not Haruki, I don't plan to kill you. I was just wanting to test your strength." He said as he then grabbed one of my daggers.
"You could do with some more training, Your swordsmanship is lacking a lot." He said as I silently stared at him dead in the eye.
I'm still pissed off at what he did.
"You Okay there Player?" He asked as I then grabbed his ears.
"I'll show you..." I said as I then stretched them
"NOOO! NOO I'M SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE ME! STOP HARUKI HAVE MERCYYYYYYY!" Tsukasa yelled in agony.
soon we made it to the Doll shop.
We entered the shop as it had an old style with wooden shelves of puppets, and animal dolls.
The puppets resembled the ones that attacked us in the apartment, so I'm assuming we've found the place where the puppets come from.
"Welcome!" Said an old man with glasses. he wore a suit and had his hair messy for some reason.
"Hello there sir, I'd like to ask you a question." I said as He replied.
"Sure thing, Ask away." As i then asked.
"Has someone come here 3 months ago to buy a bunch of puppets?" I asked as he began thinking.
"Actually, yes! Someone did come here to buy puppets." He said smiling as he then began looking for records of buyers.
Soon he points at a Name.
"This gentleman." He points at the name of "Kazuhisa?" I said as that name seemed familiar.
"I see.. Thanks sir." I thanked him and saw a cute teddy bear.
"How much is this?" I asked as he replied.
"20 coins." I grabbed the bear and then paid.
This could be a nice gift for Luna.
"Buying gifts now eh? Didn't know you had a girlfriend Haruki." He said as I then looked at him.
"It isn't for my girlfriend because I don't have one, I'm buying this for Luna." We thanked the man once again and left.
"All our clues lead to Kazuhisa." Tsukasa said as we were walking.
"Yeah we have to find him soon." I said as He nodded at me.
"First, let's go to the Agency and consult with the others." He said as I agreed to what he said.
We definitely needed to talk with the others about all of this.
We soon made it to the Agency. before entering Tsukasa grabbed my shoulders and then said.
"Have you never wondered why time passes so quick here?" He had a point...
Time certainly feels like its passing quickly here.
"I believe the true way to stop these crimes is by solving the big question, Why is time moving fast on floors 89 to 80." He said as I then thought about it.
"Well I guess we'll find out soon... Let's go now." I said as we Entered the Agency.
