Blood Moon

Chapter 69

*Third's Pov*

Hiroshi soon found himself back into the world of the living. His head was a mess from the events from earlier. He observed his surroundings in front of him to see that he was in the Toshima Ward Hospital.

Ari: Finally awake?

Hiroshi: Nishimiya.

She wasn't the only one there. Nora-san was there as well. She gave him a look of concern but seemed relived.

Hiroshi: How long I've been out?

Ari: For two days now...your family was worried about you. I'll delivered the news to them that you managed to wake up.

Hiroshi nodded at that...

Hirsohi: Did...I beat Tsukuyomi...?

Nora: But of course. Nishimiya-san here told me everything. You really are a brave boy standing up aganist a deadly vengeful spirit such as Tsukuyomi. Especially the one who caused the source of the Blood Moon...

Hiroshi: Y-Yeah...wait a minute... Where's Bon? Is he alright?

Never in his life did Hiroshi believe he would be worried about an asshole such as Bon. But he needed to make sure the man had survived that deadly encounter.

However, instead of responding to him. Both Nora and Ari gave him grave looks much to the confusion of the boy. Wondering what they gone quiet...He was about to ask why weren't they answering him but then it struck him upon realization of why they weren't speaking.

Hiroshi: No...Don't tell me he...

Ari: Hiroshi-kun...Bon...No...Shougo Moriyama succumbed to his wounds two days ago on his way to the hospital. There...wasn't enough time to save him...

Hiroshi:....

There it was...the horrible news that he didn't want to hear...

Another life...gone in a flash...

All thanks to Hannya and her stupid games...

Just thinking about her makes him so mad...his teeth gritted and his knuckles clenched as he tried to calm down...

Hiroshi: I...see...how is...Uncle taking this...?

Even if he wasn't close to the Police Officer, he was still one of Uncle's subordinates...so surely his Uncle must be really upset to lose one of their own.

Nora: Kyotarou-san is well...He isn't sad but the exact same time isn't happy. He's making rearrangements to find a temporary replacement for Bon on the force and to deliver the devasting news to the latter's family.

Hiroshi:...So...what now?

Ari: For Bob's sake...Thanks to you, we have enough evidence to have Miao Aishiteru on trial from a twenty year case for the Moon Tower Fire Incident. Charges will soon be aganist him and he'll be summoned to court soon.

Nora: As for me...Well, like Nishimiya-san had said earlier. I have been doing a little digging into Akuno Honda's case. You said he had a conspiring with Miao Aishiteru and a scientist lady from twenty years ago, correct?

Hiroshi: Yes...

Nora: Well...I know who that woman is...

Ari: Could you give us her name?

Nora: I can. That woman you saw in your vision...Her name is Imori Kagura. According to her bio. She was a former professor at Ikebukuro Research Department twenty years prior til now.

Hiroshi: I know Akuno Honda is dead and Miao Aishiteru will soon be behind bars. But do you know Kagura current whereabouts.

The detective made a frown at that.
