Chapter 3- Cousin sister's help

People are still going missing...Natsumi's school is still closed

Natsumi is confused,she wants a solution not just clues,police are failing to investigate and find out who is behind this..

Natsumi decided to ask her elder cousin sister,Akira Atsugi for help...

Natsumi is at the door of Akira's house,she knocked on the door and saw Akira opened the door,Akira has her lab coat and jam smeared all over her face meaning she was doing research since she is a scientist who works at home,Akira looked at Natsumi and said,

"Why are you here...?Any problems lately?"

Natsumi gulped and hesitantly spoke,

"W-Well...People are going missing...Maybe its because some outsider is in our city?"

Akira sighed and said,

"Natsumi how can you be this dumb? We live in a city not trackable by sattelites and only people with magic can come here...There are 5 empires in total and who would want to kill us?We all have an alliance with all the empires and the Dust Empire is long gone,maybe its the work of an assassin or a serial killer so its useless staying at home since they will just break in and easily kill us since we are more vulnerable at home,being in public is more safe since the person targets people in a pattern and people think they are missing but they are being killed like flies dropping down...Use some logic."

Natsumi looked at Akira dumbfounded and said,

"How are you safe here though?"

Akira was silent for a moment,she took off her lab coat to reveal her muscular physique,Akira then said,

"I know how to fight,with and without magic,I am the 3rd strongest magician from all the empires what do you expect...?No need to worry about me,we just need to find a way to contact the 4th strongest magician,he is incharge of the barrier plus he knows way more about the case than us since he is a detective."

Natsumi sighed and said,

"Who is this dude you are talking about?"

Akira then giggled and said,

"You don't know him?I am talking about Kai Tsugoi."

Natsumi looked dumbfounded,she clearly does not know who he is,Akira then continued,

"Kai Tsugoi is your elder cousin brother."

Natsumi was shocked for a second and then she said in a bored way,

"He is probably a very serious and boring guy who just cares about work."

Akira burst out into a fit of laughter and said,

"Serious?He is only serious when in public or talking formally,you are family so of course he will act like himself around you no need to worry about him being too serious."

Akira took out a piece of paper which has Kai's address and gave it to Natsumi,Akira then said,

"I will go with you when I get free time from work,so I will come with you on Saturday if its alright."

Natsumi nodded as yes and said,

"Ok thanks,can I leave now?"

Akira just dismissed Natsumi with her hand and said casually,

"Yea yea kiddo you can go fuck around now,and don't get in trouble like the chaotic kid you are."

Natsumi giggled and said,

"I won't."

Natsumi walked out of the door of Akira's house and waved a goodbye,Akira waved a goodbye back and closed the door,Natsumi walked away and walked back to her house which is in the next street.

Akira sighed of relief and said,

"Now that she is gone...I can finally work while eating strawberry jam."
