(short chapter ahead.)

Denji was upset, looking back into Aki's room. Ranpo notices this, but shrugs it off.

Ranpo: Hey, Denji. Y'know, we've been gotta go to Makima-san before she starts to get impatient.

Denji: Yeah, yeah.

---

Makima: I'll introduce you to who's going to be training you.

Denji: Woah woah, you're not gonna be our mentor?

Makima: I'm quite busy.

The short detective was heard from the background, shouting, "Ooo!"

Makima: Okay, so he'll be your mentor for now. His name is--

???: Shh, shh. You may leave now, Makima.

The red head chuckles and does as told, the sound of the car driving off was displayed.

???: I have questions for you three, answer them. First: How did you feel when your comrades died?

Denji: Well, it is what it is.

Power: They're dead, right?

Ranpo: I'd hate to admit my true intentions and feelings for the dead, especially to someone who I don't know. Wait, do I know y-

???: Have you considered getting revenge?

Denji: Revenge is such a childish thing to do.

Power: Nope.

Ranpo: I agree with Denji!

The tall mysterious man was heard chuckling a bit, hearing Ranpo jump around childishly.

???: Do you think of yourself as an ally of Devils or Humans?

Denji: Whichever treats me better.

Power: Whichever side's winning.

Ranpo: I wanna be a chameleon.

The man takes a moment to turn around, holding up 3 fingers as he stares into their souls.

Ranpo: Oh, it's y-!

???: You and the fiend, 100 points. You...

He accusingly points at Ranpo with an intimidating aura.

???: One hundred.

???: And one.

Denji/Power: HUH!? HELL'S THAT MEAN? / REMOVE THAT ONE POINT THIS INSTANT!

Ranpo: So it's you, Ki-shi-be-kun!

Kishibe: Yes, Edogawa-kun. And the reason you both got 100, it's cuz you're rare. And Edogawa-kun has 101 points for not revealing much of his opinions to someone he 'doesn't know.' It's also because of my biases.

Denji/Power: UNFAIR!

The tall yellow haired man swings his arms around the back of Power and Denji's neck.

Kishibe: I like you three.

He begins choking them with his arms tightly, and carrying them up. After a moment, he drops them.

Kishibe: You're like humans, you'll be immobilized once choked. But unlike humans, you can heal with blood..

He takes out a pack of blood and throws it into their mouths. Kishibe then intimidatingly turns to Ranpo.

In a flash, he smashes Ranpo down into the cemented grave with his entire palm fitting Ranpo's face.

The grave broke down, but no sign of blood splattered around.

Kishibe: But Edogawa Ranpo, not sure if he's human, hybrid, devil or fiend. It's a mystery.

As if on cue, someone taps the unflinched Kishibe on the back.

Ranpo: Hehehe, shouldn't it be obvious? The world's best detective is~ human!

Kishibe: Whatever you say. When I was young-

Ranpo: "Bedtime?"

Kishibe: I've always had toys that would break easily. I didn't like it. Indestructible toys are great, and that's what I have now.
