Dark Star: Kyouryoku

Chapter 19 - Missing With The Darkness

Sunday, December 14

Year ????

8:00 A.M.

5 days until the birthday

With the best detective voice I could ever do.

"It was early in the morning and there was a certain scent in the air... Betrayal or thoughtlessness or could it be a grand scheme? Genjy the greatest alive was going to figure out this problem and bring his name to justice... I look at the radiating words to confirm my suspicions."

"Micah is once again bringing up another banger of a show (except his own of course)

I mean loving what the show is gonna look like, but to me Micah's aiming for a sadder story.

Something about the red hair guy, I dislike. Is it his face?"

I wish I could find whoever said that last one.

"Thank you, Aidan."

Aidan sat beside me helping in my investigation.

"Deal or lie it's time to find out at-"

"I leave you two alone for a minute to work on my project, thanks for the idea by the way, but you're already descending into madness. Where would this team be without me?"

"Absolutely nowhere. If anywhere, we'd find ourselves at the core of the sun disintegrated. Then we wouldn't even be able to find ourselves."

I say as seriously as possible without even flashing a grin and Robocon... was unfazed.

"Should we work on your hunt for the culprit? If so, I can make a call to Big Bir- Right everyone here knows that I know him so I don't need to say that. I can call Micah if you need it."

After what he did back then, why would he decide to help now?

"I can guess what you're saying and I understand. Honestly, I was constantly distracted from my wife back then so I was upset. Also, you're holding my curiosity captive as of right now, so I just wanted to see what you would do. I want to see you through. Your thoughts, your actions, what you say. They are all interesting."

"Sure I guess."

Definite lies. Why did I ever decide to come back with him? Also, why do I feel like I forgot to ask something?

Aidan tugged at my shirt and upon receiving my attention, he shook his head.

I mean I get it.

"Yeah sure sir handsomeness."

I'll make sure to make him call though.

-two hours of shooing flies and giving tired Aidan a piggyback ride-

"I hate walking so slow, why didn't we just fly? Couldn't even at least drive? We had to go through all of this for what?"

"Why are you following us if you hate it so much? Even then you weren't even affected. I was the one getting constantly carried by flies. You just watched while not a single one pitched on you."

QUick summary, I got Robocon to call Micah but he wasn't picking up for some reason. Since we thought we wouldn't have too many other leads, Aidan and I decided to go over to the Alley. We told him that we didn't need help but of course, it's when you say that you don't want Robocon here he stays. Wow, I really am talking to myself like there is another person. Ugh, maybe there really is someone watching me like this is some kind of show or book.

He was complaining while he didn't even get attacked and has somehow found a king's golden throne and was being carried by Aidan's frogs.

Will slavery ever come back? Will it ever be justified enough to enslave people like him without getting in trouble?
