After a good minute of running, I found a door with a hand with calluses holding a some sort of pen. Is this the Ultimate Mangaka Lab? There's only one way to find out. I open the door and immediately hear cheering.

"OHMYGODLOOKATALLTHISSUPPLIESANDALLTHEMANGANDANIMEANDISTHATAXP-PENARTIST12?!" Daisuke cheered excitedly.

"Geez cuz, slow down!" TJ remarked, calming Daisuke down. Daisuke apologized as I took a look around the lab. I saw a bunch of anime and manga stuffed onto shelf and a desk with a lot of drawing supplies with paper scattered through out the room. This is a weeb's paradise. Geez, this place is crowded though. 

"Ugh, I'm out of here. I hate this weeb shit." Karen said, storming pass me. 

"I'll leave too. This place is crowded and there's not many places to look. I also need to plan for lunch and dinner too so..." Moeru stated, walking out of the room.

"Let's begin our search," Kei remarked.

"I call the manga!" Daisuke shouted, shuffling over to the shelf with Manga. Man, I wanted that.

"I got the anime!" I shouted, running toward the shelf with Anime. 

"I gonna check the desk," Emika sighed.

"I'll check around the room, Kei remarked.

"I'll... huh... I just help out my cousin I guess," TJ sighed. I looked around the shelf of anime. There a lot. Our Hero School, Dragonchi, Two Chances, Kuruto, Auruto, Final Kill, even some classics like Dinner Party Murder. Dinner Party... maybe that's what we need. Nothing here seems out the ordinary. I decided to regroup with the others. 

"Did anyone find anything?" I asked.

"There was nothing suspicious among the drawing supplies," Kei sighed.

"There was nothing suspicious in the desk either." Emika followed. 

"My cousin and I actually found something weird," TJ remarked. 

"Really?" Kei questioned.

"Y- yeah, its this manga," Daisuke held out a Manga with the word What with the letter H beneath it. 

"What's so strange about it?"  Emika asked.

"Well... most of the Manga on that shelf are either ones I made or are really popular. This one... I don't recognize," Daisuke sighed.

"Is that it?" I questioned.

"Well, when my cuz and I looked inside, it was blank," Tj followed. An empty manga with the name What H? What's happening?

"You mind if I take it for now?" Emika asked. 

"Why you specifically?" Kei questioned. 

"I'm the Ultimate Analyst. If this is some sort of puzzle, I might be able to figure it out," Emika responded, taking the manga.

"That's... fair... I'll go guard the other Lab," Kei remarked, leaving

"I'll go with you. You still need to teach me about autopsies," Emika followed. 

"I'll wander around, for now. Good luck you two," TJ remaked, leaving. 

"W- what's that supposed to mean?!" Daisuke questioned.

Should I hang out with Daisuke?

Yes <-

No

"Hey, do you want to do some drawing. I can be your model... if you want," I said.

"Ah- um... Sure..." He sighed. I modeled for Daisuke for about an hour or two. 

I feel like Daisuke and I got a bit closer.

"Hey Dai, can I ask you a question?" 

"Um... no problem."

"Did you ever go to school?"

"Of course I did, when I was younger..." 

"When did you... drop out?"

"I didn't really drop out... my parents just stopped taking me."

"Huh?"

"I know it sounds weird but, remember my brother." 

"Your brother?" 

Who is Daisuke's Brother?

TJ Hato

Chibi Hato<-

Makoto Hato

"Are you talking about Chibi Hato?" 

"Yeah... He's the Ultimate Child Prodigy. At a very young age, he shown signs of having high intellect. He's actually super talented when it comes to learning and retaining the information. He's smartest person I know... even though he's only eight."

"WOAH!"

"I know... after his talents were revealed... my parents started to ignore me..." 

"Dai..." 

"It's not like I missed much... I never really had any friends until now..." Daisuke's childhood isn't the worst but... It's still pretty sad to hear... I'm glad to be his friend. Maybe I can help him somehow. After a few more drawings, I said goodbye to Daisuke and we parted ways.
