After Heizou opened the gates, we all went in to take a better look of everything. We didn't really stop by any ponds to observe them, because we all had our luggages with us, and it would be good to get rid of those first. By which I mean, settle in the house.

When we got in we were greeted by a very big room with two staircases at the sides leading upwards to the first floor. There were also three other rooms that could be seen from here. To the left there was a kitchen, to the right a bathroom could be found, and there was one in the middle between the two staircases which lead to a fancy dining room.

We all just took a peak inside and then headed to the first floor. The two staircases were spiral, so when you got up, you were facing the way you came in from. Three rooms could be found both to the right and left. There were also two balconies in both directions facing the enterance gates and the garden.

"Alright, so I got informed that the two rooms on the sides are fit for three people, those are the biggest rooms. The other ones are all two person ones, except for the middle one on the right, that has an extra bed for a 15th person if needed." Heizou started explaining.

"So we need to devide ourselves into groups, huh..." Shinobu started thinking. "I think I'll share a room with Itto, because I feel like I have to watch over him, in case he does something... unfixable." she looked at the taller man. "Let me tell ya, something like that would NEVER happen. But ignoring that, sure I'll accept you as my roomie for the time being." he closed his eyes and looked away, pretending to be mad at her.

"Okay, so we got that down. I also want to say that I would like an entire room for myself." Mona suddenly claimed. "Huh, why?" you asked, confused. "I've got so many stuff related to astrology with me, that I just won't have a place for them if I share a room. I'll take one that's supposed to be for four people." she stated, and started heading off towards one.

"Uh, okay... Anyway, I guess we'll share with Yoimiya and y/n then." Keqing suggested. "Sure!" you both agreed. "That leaves the boys..."

"I want to share a room with Kazuha! I feel like there's still so much I want to talk to him about!" Venti exclaimed. "If that's what you wish for, sure. I enjoy spending time with you." the other boy smiled at him.

"Aaaand we'll share a both with Kaeya, and Heizou! I won't take a no for an answer, I think we make the best trio." Childe said with a smug face to which both of the other boys nodded. "Don't think of trying anything funny. This is a warning." the purple haired girl shot a death glare towards them.

When everyone finally settled in, you decided to go out to the garden and take a walk to look around. You quickly went down the stairs, then went outside. You slowly walked, observing everything then sat down at a bench near the pond (which had a lot of tiny fishes in it by the way) and took pictures of stuff around you, to remember this moment forever.

You were just about to snap the last picture, when someone leaned in, winking. It was none other than Heizou. "Heya! Whatcha up to?" he happily asked, sitting down next to you. "I just took a walk around here and then started taking pictures. I couldn't resist it, everything looks so beautiful!" you exclaimed, re-taking the picture that your friend leaned into earlier.

"Ah, I see. Glad that you're enjoying the place. I'm happy that you also got to bring your friends. Well, your entire friend group to be exact." the detective smiled at you. "You know, I remembered how you told me that people didn't really like your attitude..." you started. "I'm actually happier that you got to fit in easily! I hope no one is making you uncomfortable." you looked at him worriedly.

"That's..." - he looked away - "...very nice of you to say." Heizou mumbled, making it barely audible.

An awkward silence followed his statement, until he broke the silence. "Anyways, interested in hearing the case?" he questioned excitedly, as if nothing happened. "Yeah, sure!"

"So. Our client and his fiancée got in a fight a few days ago, which lead to the woman leaving out of anger. The man stated that it wasn't a big fight, and his fiancée has thrown tantrums like this before and she always came back afterwards, apologizing to him. This time was different though, the woman left and she hasn't come back since. He has tried contacting her and looking for her, but she was nowhere to be found. Naturally, after 24 hours he contacted the cops, and they got in touch with me due to the client's suggestion. Our job is to find the lady." the detective explained it all in one go.

"I understand. I feel like this will be more troublesome than the last case." you looked down, trying to think. "Also, how come this person suggested you? Couldn't he just leave it up to the police or choose someone who lives around here? You live in a totally different country!" you realized.

"Your mind is sharp I gotta give you that!" he patted your head. This caught you off guard a little bit, making you flustered, which he reailzed and stopped as soon as he did. "Oh, sorry.. I did it automatically I don't know why.. I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable." he quickly took his hand away.

"It's okay... but back to what I was asking..." you tried ignoring what just happened. "Oh, yeah haha..." - he let out an awkward laugh - "The reason behind him choosing me, is that we actually know each other." Heizou stated calmly. "What? Really?" you asked, with a surprised look on your face.

"Yes! And I think you do too. You're about to find out who he is tomorrow, I won't spoil anything." he winked at you, stood up from the bench and took his leave.

"Huh, who could it be..."
