Tantei High:School of Detectives

Behind The Fringe

Kanye's POV

In the end leaving Aella like that after the fight--This what happened.

I wonder if it's alright like this?

This is... Before this is what I wanted.

At that e bus jacking incident, even now, I showed my self who can't do anything.

That's why Aella was in my and released me.

Thanks to that, I can leave the assualt section. Now I can waste my time in peace in Inquesta and transfer into a normal school next year. Then I can wash the traces of the world of Tantei off my hands and become a normal adult.

Is that great?

But..... What's with this feeling of desolation?

After that, I just don't know. Being bothered by the irritation I feeling, wasted away the weekend.

Click...... Click

Even if she was looking at he TV or the internet the clicking sound of the clincher never stopped

The Sunday morning of the day I heard Aella's hospital discharge this morning while thinking about her, I immersed myself doing my laundry and cleaning.

But, because of that--

I coincidentally saw Aella at an unexpected place in the afternoon.

At the campus island's beauty parlor on the corner.

I saw her as I was leaving the laundry shop that was next to the beauty parlor. My legs unconsiously stopped as I saw her not-so-transformed look.

Since she didn't notice me, it once again I'm peeping......

"....."

With a heavy look, Aella left her pigtails as they were and changed her hairdo just a bit.

She got bangs.

It was cute like that but that was-- I don't even need to ask. It's probably to conceal her scar on her head.

While thinking that I once again felt a pain in my chest.

Like a cherry with white fur, Aella snorted like a mule and headed the train station.

Those clothes..were...normal clothes

Since I only saw her with her uniform, seeing her like this, like a normal girl was refreshing.

Aella was wearing a neat, plain, pale pink dress. It was a modern style that looked like it escaped from a fashion magazine.

If you were taking a photo of Aella right now and put I on the magazine cover, the clothes would sell like... Sweet hot cakes

But even paid attention to her grooming usually I've never seen her dressed up Soo much.

(For a date?)

There's no need for questions.

It's probably a date.

........ Aella's boyfriend

Does she have one?

I wonder what he looks like.

While thinking that I-- realized that I was doing

I was stalking Aella for the first time

Aella left the monorail at Shinbashi and from there she went to the direction of Kanda by JR.... She got off at Shinjuku.

While following her from a little behind, I saw that the guys were fluttering glances at Aella.

It's to be expected. She looked too cute in her outfit. After putting soo much effort.

Aella went to the sky scraper from the west entrance. She walked slowly and snorted like a mule.

This is also an unexpected direction.

This is an office building where those types of people work at.... Then is her boyfriend a working adult?

While thinking that... I continued to followed her. And then she stopped.

It was the Shinjuku Police Station.

If she was going here then why did she dressed up soo nicely?

"... Pitiful Shadowing. I can see your tail wriggling"

When Aella said that, I feel that I dranked a pole.

--What

I was found out

"Uhh.. Ummm... Ahem... Uh... You said it to me before 'Even without a question, if you're a tantei you'd investigate for yourself'?"

Then Aella sighed.

"If you found out, why didn't you say anything?"

"Well I hesitated. I don't know if I have the power to teach you. You're also a victim of the tantei killer, and you're alone."

"?"

"Hm. Well, I've already arrived. Even if I'll drive you away you'll still follow me right?"

While Aella entered the Police Station, I feel there's a lot of question marks floating above my head.

She stopped at the Imprisoned People Visiting Room where two admins guarding. A beautiful woman walked across the acrylic plank.

She had a soft curly hair that looks like it's drawn. With beautiful brown eyes and White porcelain skin like Aella's.

"Oh my... Aella, is thiss your boyfriend?"

Aella turned to me and turned beet red.

"N-no mama!"

Looking a bit surprised from seeing me the lady who raised her voice was:

Aella's mother.

She looks soo young.

Instead of her mother she looks like a separated older sister.

"Oh. Then is he an important friend? Oohh? Aella's at an appropriate age to get a boyfriend. Even pitiful Aella can make friends. Fufu. Ufufu."

"H-he's Kanye Hattori a student from Tantei High. We're not like that! Absolutely!"

Aella declared that and her mother gently narrowed her eyes with her long lashes.

It would have been fine for to not soo clearly deny it.

"... Kanye-San, nice to meet you. I'm Aella's mother, Alouisie Holmes. It seems you've been helping my daughter."

"Ah,no."
