Shuichi's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akamatsu and I walked down the street to...... somewhere. Where were we going?
"Hey, Akamatsu-San. Now that I think about it, where are we going?!"
"Oh! Well, Where do you want to go? I was just walking aimlessly." She gave a slight grin and shrugged.
"Um, where are we headed?"
"Uhh, Towards the park." She had her hand up to her forehead above her eyes, as If what was in front of us was so far away.
"Then... there I guess."
"Ok." That was...blunt.
***
We arrived at the park and Tojo was there. Akamatsu walked up to her and informed her that Ouma and I were the cause of the loud screaming in the distance. I guess we disturbed them too much because that was the reason why she had come to Ouma's house. I stood back so they could have space to talk.
"Why hello Saihara-kun."
"Oh, He-hello Tojo-San."
"*Inaudible"
"*Inaudible" I wonder what they're saying. They're talking about something obviously but... I'm sure it's none of my business.
"Goodbye Tojo-San. Let's go Saihara-kun." Akamatsu grabbed my hand and pulled me as she walked.
"Huh, why? Where?"
"Cause I feel like we're bothering Tojo-San to much so were just going further into the park." She seemed her cheerful self but there was something about her tone that was off.
"Akamatsu-San, are you okay?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"Oh, ok then. Just checking."
***
We found a bench very far from where Tojo was. I feel somewhat uneasy. I don't see anyone else around. Just grass, flowers, bushes, some animals, insects, and trees. This is a surprisingly very big park.
"Saihara-kun."
"Ye-Yeah?"
"Wanna play cards?" She proceeded to pull out a deck of cards. Where'd she get them?
"Um, sure? Where'd you get the cards?"
"Um, I bought them so that I could bring them places and have it, kinda like a conversation starter but, playing games. You get it?" She shuffled the cards as she spoke.
"Yeah. Sorta?" We began our game of cards.
"So do you know how to play this game? I'm sure a detective will know various things right?" Have no idea what that assumption meant but I went with it.
"Yeah, I do."
"Cool!"...... I don't know what game it is, it seemed foreign. I'd ask how to play but, I don't want to seem stupid. Especially after her statement. Although, after a while, Somehow, even though I'd never played this before. I guess I was winning. I decided to put all my focus into the cards to try and decode what exactly we were playing, maybe I did know it.
