Fifteenth Case

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ not too far from the inn, Kazuha is taking inventory of... a bunch of omamori and various assorted charms. ]

Mmm... it feels like a lot more people need these than the last time I did this. But I didn't think I'd still have all of these from the trips and the time Heiji got sick and everything... I was going to give the innkeeper one, too, but... maybe Ai-chan will want one.

-- Aha, I remember these! They were supposed to be for good luck and keeping anything bad from happening, and this one was for getting lost, but I bought that one before I came here.

... Obviously didn't work.

((Just strolling through fuck-my-canon lane, but if you're a friend of hers and you haven't gotten an omamori yet or you just feel like chilling with her, feel free to hit her up.))

It was a pretty valuable item! Not to mention the police from different districts get involved, so security's really tight.

... How daring. And he got away?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I guess so, since he's still pulling heists. Heiji chased after him and got himself landed in the hospital.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

-- How did he get himself hurt?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... The idiot wasn't looking where he was going and got hit by a car.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

...

I-I see. You must really have your hands full with him.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

That's usually how it is with childhood friends. And ones that end up being detectives are twice as hard.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

... I'm sure he's grateful for it, though.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

He just never says it.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Guys can be like that.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Humongous idiots?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

... Something like that.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

It's too bad they don't have a cure for that.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

That'd make it too easy.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

And we can't have that.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

At least, they can't.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Well, if they want to keep... getting hit by cars, or dragons, or whatever...

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

... Dragons?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

That'd be the idiot living here.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

......

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaaah, what can you do? These guys have this stupid sense of pride as it is...

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

U- Unbelievably so.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

So there's no helping it! Really, there's no point in even worrying.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

They can take care of themselves.

And when they can't, well, that's what we're here for.

Clean-up duty.
