Of course, he was late.
The loud sound makes him and the people in the main office jump. Many of them were trying to comfort the kid and some were trying to alert the teachers.
Someone decides to take the initiative and picks up the young boy and walks out of the school. Many join them and some run off to help evacuate those still in the classes.
It is only after Aeris takes a long, deep, breath, that he can hear the loud sirens of the school's alarms. The person, a man, sets him down on a bench in front of the school. Aeris looks at the school, black smoke coming from one side of the building, the other side looking perfectly fine.
He cleans himself up, tears no longer falling down his face, using the sleeve of his blazer to clean his snotty nose, taking off his blazer and trying it at his waist. He wants to stand, but he doesn’t trust himself to.
Everything was getting so loud. Too many people, too many sounds, too many colors, too many everything. Aeris covered his ears and closed his eyes, his brain registering the disgusting taste his mouth had from the vomit and the amount of blood he had encountered. Silence. He needs silence.
He needs to be alone, Aeris needs to be alone. He wants to be alone. Too much. TOO MUCH.
“Hey kid, breathe.”
Aeris gasps as a voice cuts through his thoughts. His eyes are wide, his hands aren’t pressing against his ears, and he now has a strawberry-flavored mint in his mouth.
“You’re gonna hurt your ears like that, and your breath was smelly,” The guy, a black-haired male dressed similarly to a detective, says. He’s couched down in front of Aeris, his larger hands covering Aeris’s smaller ones and laying them on his knees.
“You’re… from the detective agency… Ranpo Edogawa…” Aeris sighed in shock.
“And you’re the kid that called the authorities on the bodies here, right?” Ranpo smiles, green eyes peaking through his eyelashes.
“Yeah…” Aeris looked away, the school was blocked with yellow tape, there were two other people nearby that did not look like police and a large crowd outside the area of the yellow tape being blocked by the police.
“Well kiddo, I have your phone here,” Ranpo shows his phone with a clear, purple, cat charm hanging off of it.
Aeris opens his mouth to say something but Ranpo cuts him off.
“But! You will have to come with us to a safer part of town! If you agree, then your phone is yours! Deal?”
Aeris nods, Ranpo handing him his phone and standing up. Aeris holds his phone to his chest as he hears Ranpo call out for a Jun’ichiro and an Atsushi. The two other guys turn around and walk towards them. Aeris stands behind Ranpo, looking at the other two as they come closer, analyzing them.
He knows about the Armed Detective Agency and what they do, he also knows some of the detectives due to research and projects he had done. He truly finds them interesting. He had found out about them due to some books his father had kept before he died and his mother wouldn't throw them away for anything.
Those books had information on the port mafia, the armed detective agency, the guild, and so on. From the bosses, the workers, and their abilities, to the most powerful combos they have. It was interesting.
Aeris knew about Ranpo and Jun’ichiro, Ranpo thanks to the books, and Jun’ichiro thanks to the hacking he has learned from books from the library near his place. He guesses that Atsushi is a new worker as the ADA. He’ll have to search up some things online about him.
Aeris didn’t notice that they had started walking until Ranpo put a hand on his head to stop him from walking forward into a pole. “We are here!” Ranpo calls out.
Looking up from the ground, Aeris and the group are standing in front of a coffee shop. They enter the building and sit in one of the booths, in front of an old man. The first to sit down is Jun’ichiro, a small smile on his face as Ranpo scoots beside him. Atsushi sits down first and motions to Aeris to sit down beside him. He nods and scoots to sit in front of Ranpo.
Placing his phone on the table, hands covering the screen, they sit in silence for a few seconds.
“So, Aeris Dahl right?”
“Yes, that’s me…”
“As you know, I’m Ranpo Edogawa, the greatest detective ever,” Ranpo smiles, eyes closed as he points to the redhead beside him “ This is Jun’ichiro Tanizaki, and that's Atsushi Nakajima.”
Both of them wave towards me as I nod at them.
A lady comes by, a smile on her face.
“What can I get you all? Oh, There’s a new member!”
“The usual for me!” Ranpo waves his hand as his head lies on the table.
“I’ll get a coffee, what about you, Atsushi?”
“I’ll also get a coffee.”
“Can I just get some water, please..” Aeris mumbles, he doesn’t want anything too heavy for right now, especially after everything that has happened. The smell of coffee cleanses Aeris’s mind from the gore he had witnessed, but it is the relaxing aspect of the coffee shop that makes him close his eyes and not see their faces.
“Sooo, Dahl-”
“Please, call me Aeris, I’d rather that than my last name…”
“Alright then, Aeris, we are to ask you some questions about what happened today,” Ranpo says, placing a recorder on the table as the lady brings two coffees, one sundae, and a cup of cold water.
“Thank you,” everyone tells the waiter as she nods and walks away.
“Why ask me questions about this when you could instantly find out who did it?” Aeris asks Ranpo, Atsushi, and Jun’ichiro looking at him. He doesn’t seem nervous at all, his hands say everything. Aeris’s pointer finger was tapping away on the back of his hand, his nails painted a pastel purple, hands stained with paint, it all showed how nervous he feels.
“Well, to make the investigation much more fun! Also, I already know you’re innocent, no need to be so anxious.”
Aeris sighs and shakes his head. “Well, I just wanted to go to the bathroom and, when I entered the smell of blood was strong. I looked around and saw that there was a body on the floor on the third stall, I dialed 110 but didn’t call…”
“Why didn’t you instantly call?” Jun’ichiro asks.
“I just felt that there was more to it so I ran out of the bathroom and went to the next one to the left, there I found two more dead students. There I called the police and ran to the farthest bathroom, mostly used by the popular girls and the junkies. That’s where I found the dead teacher and the bomb.”
“A bomb?” Atsushi and Jun’ichiro pipe up, questioning.
“I was also wondering that. In the last bathroom, not close to any classes but the gym. The time it was set too also didn’t make sense,” Aeris wonders as he grabs his phone and shows the pictures of the body.
“All of the bodies had their eyes taken out and something happening with their necks, but this one had her whole torso ripped open and her guts taken out.”
The gruesome image makes him cringe as he takes a sip from his water. “The guts weren’t ripped out by any means, she still had her lungs in there and there weren’t any traces of other parties. It seemed that they surgically removed the specific parts they wanted of her and took them.”
“It seems you are correct, do you think it was because of a grudge or was it a murder of fun?”
“I would like to think it was a murder for fun, like, they just wanted to try the thrill of it and kill someone, or even worse, sold her organs for fun. Though, I’m not an amazing detective like you Ranpo, so I can’t be sure.”
Ranpo opens his eyes wide, the compliment taking him off guard.
The main thing that was written in the book of the agency for Ranpo’s case, ‘praise and pay with sweets for the best solved case.’
“Of course! I’m the greatest after all!” He smiles as the other two bring tier coffee to their lips. Aeris nods along, knowing that the killer will be found sooner rather than later in this case.
After they finish the interrogation, they leave the coffee shop and walk back to the scene of the bombing. A sick feeling settles in Aeris’s tummy as they get closer to the closed-down school, his hands getting clammy and his eyes looking left to right in a wary way. He knew he was safe, he had the detective agency around him, but it just didn’t help alleviate the feeling of danger.
Something is going to happen soon.
But when and where was it going to happen…
