Enter- Detectives A and K! ~ Chapter 12

(Astrid's P.O.V.)

Sheesh. The kitty fanatic is going to kill my eardrums. Seriously, who likes living with "ASTRID!!! YOU AIN'T GOING TO DO THAT AGAIN!" everyday? It hurts. Even worse, it's annoying and not at all entertaining (maybe if you reverse the roles it will be). I got everything I needed already didn't I. Almost have an 'unreal thing' cut your head off. Check. Watch your friend break down and go all possessed by some book or whatever. Check. Meet this really annoying, rude guy who just so happens to have the same first name as 1 of your favorite book characters. Check. All in 1 week huh. What fun is that. It's extreme torture! Though, it did have it's pros. I got Oreo!

I'm chillin' in bed at the moment with some cookies 'n cream ice cream (sorry Oreo), watching some anime called Himouto! Umaru-chan! It's the perfect description of me (except for those oh so perfect grades and being loved by everyone). Laziness at its finest. I stifled a laugh. *changing topic* Umaru is just too cute!!!!! Impossible to resist. Irresistibly adorable!

I was enjoying myself quite a lot with my happiness headquarters until Kathrine the new party pooper just had to call me for lunch with another unnecessary ear-piercing scream. And then another. And another. Oh gee, when will my life ever not be hell?

"ASTRID!!! Lunchtime!!! Now!"

I muttered something about kitty maniacs and being annoyingly noisy. I caught a whiff of delicious sizzling chicken. Yum. Kathrine, what heaven have you bestowed upon us now that I might just forgive you for your foolishness? What greatness have you graced upon our first and foremost trashed home that it may become a feast for the eyes? Be glad. I'm not that easily bribed.

"Where in this world were you able to gather such scrumptious delicacies that yield such satisfying aromas? I'm well aware there's no way you could've made this glorious fragment of heaven." I asked teasingly. "Yeah, yeah, I cannot cook. And so, and so." Kathrine said bluntly.

"What eternal praise I offer thee,
For divine grace has showered me!
What immortal secret meets the eye
That all who see must droop and die?"

Kathrine laughed at my lame attempt to lighten the mood.
Then, she continued.

"What fools behold the wicked past
Of this lone world long at last.
What new desires flood the soul
Enraged in stupidity that's lost control?
What idiots before me now
That life has lost is lowly howl?
What annoyance stirs the mighty peace
Of sky and sea which you displease?"

We chuckled. "Kathrine, you incur the wrath of the gods." I said while laughing. Kathrine's laughter came to an abrupt stop. "But something's plaguing me." Way to ruin the mood. "What is it?" I suddenly went on extremely curious 4000 mode. "It's just the monsters. You said they shouldn't have been able to enter right? Then, why did they? And also, why didn't the Rογαl Dεfεηsεs show up? They should've right?"

There it goes. The question I've been dreading to hear. "I have no idea." I said and decided to let myself continue talking. "I just don't know. Wanna dig yourself into boring research and have fun being a detective?" Kathrine suddenly smiled. "Hell yeah! Let's investigate this unlikely crime!"

"First up—code names. You?"
"I'll be Komaru. K for Kathrine!" Kathrine sure is happy, huh?
"Then, I'll be uhh...Aqua? A for Astrid?"
"Then Agent A and K for short, Aqua!" she concluded.
"Speaking of this 1 letter system...we're like L Lawliet from Death Note." I wondered.
"K (Komaru [Kathrine]) Kira." Kathrine smirked.
"A (Aqua [Astrid]) Astraea."

We put up this act, grabbed our staffs, (I) put on my coat and head for the living room to crash on the couch. And laze around.

"Okay now, what mystery do we wish to solve? What questions are we eager to answer?" Kathrine asked. "Okay, objectives for today...uhhh 1, what the heck happened that those monsters came into town. 2, what happened to the barrier and the defenses. 3, chill out and have fun."
