The Detective's Sidekick (A Hololive Fanfiction) Book 2

Chapter 5 - A Day With Civilization

It is dark, but William is all to familiar with this. This is yet another vision of one of Asher's memories. This time Asher is resting with someone William may have seen a few times, but he could never remember her name. But in the next moment, fires spread and he could see that she is struggling to break free from fallen debris. From the looks of the inside, it is most likely a church of sorts. William wanted to do something so he quickly rushed to her but before he could reach, a massive gulf of flames went his direction and engulfed him, making him wake up, sweating, jolting up immediately.

His breathing was unstable and it felt like as if he felt the pain. The flames' burning sensation was unbearable but yet it felt like it was recent. He looked out of the window to see that it is morning, and he remembered that he is still in the Council Tower. He got up and stretched his limbs to test if they are still as good as they were yesterday. He felt relieved and he got his detective coat on and he realized something, he needs new change of clothes. He felt dirty and possibly needs a wash or something.

Mumei then entered the room.

Mumei: "Oh you are awake. How are you feeling?"

William: "Could be feeling any better, but I will manage."

Mumei then saw that he was sweating a little so she went up to him. She put her hand on her forehead and felt the sweat, but the subtle heat increase.

William: "Umm... what are you doing?"

Mumei then moved her hand back to her side and came to a conclusion.

Mumei: "You are sweating... You had a nightmare?"

William: "I guess you could say that..."

Mumei: "Well no matter. Today we are going to go for a walk."

William: "And that reason would be..?"

Mumei: "It will be a surprise, just let me know when you are ready. I am going to check on Fauna for the preparations."

William: "Prep-"

Mumei: "Forget I said anything. See ya then."

She then left the room at full speed. This just confused William to many degrees and he just sighs.

William: "What am I getting myself into...?"

He then left the room and went down the stairs that he could see and he enters the Meeting Room. Though it doesn't look somewhat impressive to him but he could tell that this room is where they have their so called 'meetings'. He continued but then he accidentally bumps into someone and he fell to the ground. Yet his pain was stinging, meaning that he bumped into someone head first without him realizing since he was looking around. When he looked up, he saw Sana.

Sana: "Oh dear. Sorry about that."

She quickly helped him up and he slightly rubbed his head.

William: "It is alright... I should just pay attention on where I look."

Sana: "You were that curious about this place that much?"

William: "Yeah. Think of it as entering someone else's home that you don't know that well."

Sana: "Really? This place is not as exciting as you would expect."

William: "Well in the architectural sense when compared to the medieval bricked castles, this is more of a gorgeous place than the others."

Sana's eyes sparkled for a moment.

Sana: "Really!?"

William: "Yeah."
