Noire club

I was sitting there, aimlessly looking at the Wall of my office, asking myself questions such as, ¿How did the investigation club got approved by the school council? Or ¿Where did all the color went?

But as much as I would like to continue asking these kinds of questions, there was one that couldn’t leave my head, ¿How did Sayori died?

After I found her hanging on the ceiling of her room I was devastated, I didn’t felt like I could carry on, but she wouldn’t have liked that, and against all odds I became a freelance P.I. as a way to forget all the pain I felt in that time. 2 weeks passed by and I left the literature club and started my own club, I couldn’t be there anymore, all I remembered was her, and her beautiful smile, but last night I started wondered if Sayori death was really a suicide or not, that’s when trouble started, I stole the forensic report of the local police station using my charms to convince a secretary to bring it for me, and by charms I mean to my density to pick up subtle facial cues, all of it didn’t mattered as I was met with disappointment, she did killed herself.

“This is bullshit, she couldn’t have done something like that”

As I said that I feel someone knocking on my door, ¿is it one of my pals of the club?

“Come in!”

I’m surprised as I see who was the one knocking, is Yuri, 2 weeks have passed since I last saw her and she’s someone totally different, she’s the kind a girl who would kill you whenever she wants and still yet away with it.

“Hello MC, no time no see”

“Yuri! Is good to see you, tell me, what do you want?”

“Not even a ‘How are you?’ dear? What a shame, I expected being received by a gentleman, not a brute”

“Quit the chit chat ‘dear’ why you are here?”

“I have work for you and I think you might like it”

“Well in that case it must be the job of the century if you think I would like it, let’s say I didn’t like when I found out who stole my pen…”

I made her blush with that statement, I still got it.

“Let’s say it involves a rose haired fellow…”

“Wait? You don’t meant THAT, right?”

“I did MC”

I’m speechless, can I prove that she didn’t killed herself

“How can I trust what you say? I don’t like when people starts playing with me”

“You don’t need to trust me MC, I know that you are desperate enough to start working on the lead I’ll give you as soon as I leave this room, in fact, and I know that I won’t even pay for this”

I don’t know what to say, she sees through me like if I’m a glass full of bourbon, I could start digging this up

“Okay… Let’s say if I do this, why would you want me to in the first place? I don’t see how you can get anything from this one”

“Between you and me, if you do your work properly, both of us will win something”

I don’t know if I’m following her game.

“That’s it? You won’t give me any information in this case?”

“No, I’ll only give you the first lead, then it’s up to you how you work it out”

I stand there motionless, I don’t know what to do, it is dangerous to start a case without knowing anything, but if I can prove that Sayori didn’t killed herself I could finally sleep without any nightmares.

“So, what do you say MC?”

“I… I-I accept, I-I’ll do it”

“Excellent, nothing I couldn’t have expected from you”

“Stop it already, give me my lead”

“You remember Natsuki right?”

Yes I remember her, the pink haired brat that couldn’t hide her feelings for me, how I didn’t notice before? I just noticed it when I started my own club and I felt like an idiot.

“Yes, I do remember her”

“She’s running a cupcake smuggling operation in the school”

“Wait what?!”

Cupcakes are completely banned from this school now, everything was so good before that dreaded day of the festival, I wonder who could have used salt instead of sugar in the mix, I was there baking them up with Natsuki, who’s that dumb… Wait a minute… Shit…

“Yes, if the principal catches her she’s done for”

“She must be an expert at smuggling, I haven’t seen one in a long time, what’s up with her”

“She has a contact that might lead you to your next move in YOUR case, as for me, I want you to cease and desist the production and transport of cupcakes, once you are done with that, I’ll give you another lead to help you with the other one”

So I’ll get to leads for the price of one job? That’s great! But can I really do this? Stopping a trafficking operation is hard enough for a trained team, but for me only?

No, I must do it, for her, for Sayori…

“Consider it done, she will be expelled in no time”

“No, not that, if she’s expelled from the school I can’t work in my next move MC, all I want you to do is to make space in the business”

“That’s easier, okay I’ll do it”

“Great, it has been a pleasure to make business with you MC”

“Take care Yuri, goodbye”

As she exits my office I get up from my chair, I go to the drawer next to my desk and I open it to get something out of it, I look at the picture…
