Decapolice: You were kidding about that…… right?
Plot: Carl shows concern for Harvard and his style of justice after the Jewel Robbery Case.
Note: If you want context, I suggest you find the English translation of the TGS 2023 demo that was made @call-me-rucy
“Hey, Harvey.”
“Yeah, Carl?”
It was after sunrise. It was usually said that the Broadstone looked like a modern art painting when the sun goes down. The 3 SIU team members have left already. Zhang talking a bus,That left only Harvard and Carl at the enterace of the police station, along with some cops and other workers.
“It’s about today’s DECASIM case.”
“Yeah?”, Harvard said lazily. “Was it about the Jewel Beast?” He then made a meow sound. Carl hold his urge to giggle. Yeah, the Crime Beast was dangerous, but it was
“No, it wasn’t that concern me. more specifically about the hostage…..”
Harvard mentally cringe in disgust. While he was able to get Carl away from the culprit’s grasp by shooting the remote that controls the robots, he felt himself getting more displeased on their first hostage. The old man’s smug words taunting. How he hold down Carl with no regard. The feeling of unable to reach somebody without using any force. It didn’t felt…. Fair. While he liked Carl, he had to admit
“Yeah, I took him down pretty easily. Sure the beast was surprised.
“Well, I was pretty worried there but……”
“WHAT. I haven’t got all night. Won’t your dad be upset that his A+ son is hanging in Broadstone in the night?”
Carl stopped for a hard second. Just because his dad was the police chief of Broadstone doesn’t mean that he should be treated like a
“No, it isn’t that. It was about……. What you said.”
“Yes? Did something upset you?”
“Yes, specifically the sentence before you hit the controller.”
Harvard became silent and then thought about what he said before he took the shoot.
“Any decent agent is prepared to die when taken hostage.”
He played those words in his brain. Over and over again. Every single word that came of out his mouth. He remember Manimani’s and Carl’s shock, and even Mikey’s and Zhang’s despite not hearing or seeing them. Before he could answer, Carl bet it to him.
“Yeah, that what I wanted to talked. You know I been worried about you since the last year of college. I mean if it was something like, ‘You are regret your life choices, culprit.’ Or “Maybe you could handle this.”. But, no, I you choose that sentence.” “So, what is you deal, it was just a-” “NO, IT WASN’T! You said it was a serious expression on your face!! You looked at me like I was a background character
Harvard was quiet for what seems like a decade as the night went up and Carl wonder if he had thinking way too hard.
Then, something unexpected happened.
Harvard begin to laugh. Not a giggle. But, a criminal laugh. His mouth went wide open as his back bent backward before covering his hand concealing his whole face.
He kept on laughing and laughing. Carl really worried that it was the right choice to even bring up the sentence in the first place.
Then he stopped to a halt and got a serious look that screamed “WTF?”
“You were seriously thinking about? Because, it seemed to me you were taking that line way out of context.”
“So, why did you say it?”
“It was a intimidation tatic, trying to shocked
“Oh. So you really-”
“Are my best friend.
“Oh, sorry.” Carl said with a fog of ashamed.
“Anyway, the conservation already took
As Harvard left the police station, Carl felt his shock disappeared and felt comfort and relaxation inside. Harvard cared for him. He didn’t see as somebody who was disposable like a paper plate. As he begin walking back to his house, he felt his connection with Harvard grow. Come on, it wasn’t like that Harvey had something he wasn’t telling him about?
Right?
Author Note: While I did some writing in the past, the first time I actually invested myself in a fanfic. Maybe because of how little content this game has got, despite being one of Level 5’s game coming worldwide after 3 years AND being the former Professor Layton successor before being retooled its own thing.
I had played both Yo Kai Watch and Fantasy Life on 3Ds when I was a kid. While I didn’t play the sequels or the Fantasy Life mobile game I loved playing these games even though they had their flaws. So, when Fantasy Life i and Deca Police released, I going to do a play through of them.
Also, I believed that Carl doesn’t know about Harvard’s reason for being a detective until later on the story. In the concept image trailer, when Harvard is talking about him wanting to confront the Clown for killing his mom, Carl (I think that was) is shown to be surprised. It implies that Harvey doesn’t want to tell people about his past, including the people who is closest to. Makes me wonder, how old was Harvard when his mom died. 6 or 8 years old?
You can comment, critique, reblog, like, or even make fanart for this fanfic. I really appreciate it!💜
