Chapter 44 Senpai, Senpai!
Inside the detective agency, the culprit’s lines were repetitive, only a few sentences……
[Where’s the evidence?]
[What a brilliant deduction, why don’t you become a novelist?]
[I don’t want to be in the same room as a murderer, don’t stop me! I’m leaving now!]
Wait… the last line seems like a death flag?
……
Yukino Yukinoshita searched for details and then opened the victim’s closet.
The closet on this side didn’t have a key, or rather, it had a key but nobody was willing to use it, which was troublesome.
Since they would meet again soon, there was no need to be overly cautious.
Moreover, they were all girls, and no one would likely steal each other’s underwear…
‘Nothing.’
Collecting fingerprints?
The idea seemed impractical, and Yukino quickly ruled it out.
Besides, it had been a whole day since the incident, and the fingerprints would have disappeared by now!
At this moment, Isshiki Iroha walked in with her phone, glanced around, and quickly understood the situation with her clever mind.
She slowly approached Yukino and whispered in her ear, “Yukinoshita-senpai, I’ve brought Senpai here. Do you need his help?”
Yukino nodded and looked around.
She prepared to ask for everyone’s opinions: “Has anyone found any clues? If not, should we let Asakura-san in?”
“We can’t let him in, can we? He’s a boy, after all.” Yui Kotegawa’s face turned red, and who knows what she was imagining.
A boy entering the girls’ locker room was against school rules!
What if he suddenly lost control and pinned us to the ground?
Should we resist?
“But Yuigahama’s mind is very sharp, and she might discover details that we don’t know.”
Isshiki Iroha, trying to curry favor with Asakura Yuu, agreed…
“Yuigahama-senpai is right. The culprit is likely a boy, so maybe letting Senpai in will have some effect?”
The girls thought for a moment and no longer objected.
If the underwear thief isn’t caught, the swimming club’s training can’t continue.
This matter can’t be delayed!
“Isshiki, go call him.”
Yukino Yukinoshita spoke up and continued searching for clues.
Isshiki Iroha raised her hand, full of enthusiasm:
“Okay, I’ll go right away!”
…………
Asakura Yuu stood at the door, thinking about the culprit’s options.
In fact, aside from a male culprit, a female culprit couldn’t be ruled out either.
In the heart of an ordinary girl, a criminal who steals underwear is undoubtedly a man filled with dirty desires, but anything is possible.
Take Yukino Yukinoshita’s childhood indoor shoes, for example.
The number of times a girl commits a crime is 16 times more than a boy.
‘Combining practicality with probability, the crime rate among women isn’t low.’
At Soubu High, the area around the swimming pool is a no-go zone for guys.
Except for the summer swimming lessons, at any other time, any guy who gets close will be scrutinized with disdainful eyes by the opposite sex.
That night, on an anonymous forum, they could be publicly executed by girls, way faster than something like Instagram, Twitter, or Line.
The anonymous forum is Soubu High School’s fastest news-spreading and social gathering place!
Under these circumstances, guys avoid this place like the plague, let alone approaching it.
“Senior! Senior!! I’m here!”
Asakura Yu heard the lively and familiar call and followed the sound.
“What’s wrong? Was the culprit caught?”
Isshiki Iroha ran up to him, panting, and holding her knee.
“Nope, but I have other good news.”
After saying that, she acted cute and blinked at Asakura Yu.
“Senior, are you even listening to me?”
Asakura Yu came back to his senses and asked, “Good news?”
This girl’s cuteness skills were deep.
He almost got lost.
Iroha took his hand, “Thanks to my efforts, Senior, you can go in now.”
Asakura Yu was confused, “You came here just to tell me this?”
Isshiki Iroha looked up at him with a pout, her expression adorable: “A beautiful and kind junior went out of her way to get you this chance! Praise me!”
So she came to take credit.
“Thanks, let’s go now.”
Asakura didn’t waste any time and headed straight for the swimming pool gate.
“Wait for me! Senior, you’re too fast! Also, thanks is too perfunctory! That’s too mean……!”
Isshiki Iroha tugged at his sleeve, following closely behind.
Halfway through, she suddenly opened her mouth with a look of enlightenment:
“I get it now! You, senior, must be intentionally keeping a distance from me, and then planning to suddenly show concern to make my heart skip a beat! I’m so sorry, although my heart did skip a beat, but senior, hey! Your sneak attack is too cunning, yeah? Wah, I’m about to fall over, wait for me!”
………………………………
The locker room of the swimming club was just a short distance from the entrance, with a locked storage room next to it where equipment was kept, and without a teacher’s permission, it was not allowed to be opened casually.
After entering the girls’ locker room, Asakura Yuu took a look around.
A few minutes passed.
“Have you found anything unusual?”
Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Asakura Yuu, who was deep in thought.
“No, but from what I know, the culprit is very likely to return to the scene…”
Asakura Yuu glanced around, his eyes scanning the surrounding girls.
He paid particular attention to the 4 girls from the Yuu swimming club.
He spoke like a detective, methodically:
“After the culprit commits the crime, their mindset will gradually exit the excitement mode.
After regret and fear flood their mind, observing the ‘detective’ progress up close becomes the culprit’s comfort.”
“And for those who are even more twisted, it’s to satisfy their perverted desires…”
“Huh, is this the part where the culprit is among us? Are you suspecting us, senpai?”
Isshiki Sakura interrupted him, then, after being glared at by Asakura Yuu, slightly tilted her head and winked her right eye, acting cute.
“Hehe, sorry about that, senpai, my bad~”
“You just wait!”
The eye contact was over.
Asakura Yuu continued to ask: “Who was the first person to discover that their underwear was missing yesterday?”
“Asakura senpai, it was me.”
The victim, Nanami Ai, spoke up: “After finishing our usual training, I opened my locker and found my underwear was gone. Luckily, I had a spare set in my bag.”
“Nanami, I’m going to ask a somewhat offensive question… why didn’t you keep this a secret? Generally, for girls, having their underwear stolen is quite embarrassing, right?”
“Asakura senpai, your question is weird. If I didn’t speak up, everyone in the Yuu swimming club could have been targeted, right?”
Rather than staying silent, she was willing to put herself at risk in order to ensure the safety of others.
It seemed this senpai was a good kid, cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
“Who could it be?”
Asakura Yuu knew some information, such as Nanami Ai being a strong newcomer to the Yuu swimming club.
After assuming the worst intentions of people’s hearts.
Asakura thought that this was done by a girl who was jealous of Nanami… after all, the only ones who could safely take out underwear without being suspected by the cameras were the members of the Yuu swimming club.
“The reasoning doesn’t seem to hold… the culprit isn’t a member of the Yuu swimming club?”
The situation seemed to have hit a standstill.
Suddenly, a barely audible sound reached everyone’s ears……”nya~”, or as we call it, a cat meow.
And so,
Everything seemed to fall into place.
