## **Story**

* Ryu: Yo! We were actually just about to go looking for you.
* You: Me? You need me for something?
* Ryu: Yeah, well... I tried talking him out of it, but...
* Kagura: I'm the one who needs you. There's something I would like your help with.
* Kagura: It'll be good for [BF name] too.
* You: Really?
* Ryu: ... Don't say I didn't warn you, Kagura.
* Kagura: Starting today, you are detectives!
* You: ... Uhm, come again?
* A daring detective uncovers the truth! A dangerous investigation... an unforeseen ending!
* Chasing Shadows

* You: What's wrong, Ryu?
* Ryu: Nothing, it' s just... I kinda feel like I'm being watched...
* Kagura: Hey, come on now... Don't look that way. You'll blow your cover ♪
* Mysterious Man: ...
* You: ... Yeah, he is looking this way.
* Kagura: Mhm. Got any idea who that is, sweetheart?
* You: Hmm... Still doesn't ring a bell... Ah!
* Mysterious Man: ...!
* Devin: He took off.
* Kagura: Fufu, that must mean... he's up to something! Not a doubt in my mind!
* Kagura: Come on, after him. We're gonna wanna hear what he has to say. Let the investigation begin♪
* Ryu: Ah, hey!
* You: ... There he goes.
* Ryu: \*sigh\*... Maybe he just thought it was suspicious that we were hanging around and keeping tabs on the area, no?
* Devin: Still, I'm interested to hear why he was staring at us.
* Ryu: Yeah, guess I can't disagree with you there.
* You: It's not like we can leave Kagura on his own. Why don't we go after them for now?
* Devin: Got it. Let's move.

* Ryu: I was sure if we split up and asked around, we would find something, but... Nothing. A big swing and a miss.
* Devin: I didn't get anything that might help us find the guy either. This detective stuff is hard work.
* Ryu: We were able to get a little bit of information here and there, though, so it doesn't feel like we're that far off the trail.
* Kagura: Great work, my lovelies♪ Well? Did you find anything?
* You: Hmm~... Not much progress at this point, no.
* Ryu: Well, can't feel too bad. We're not exactly veterans, you know.
* Devin: Did you get anything good, Kagura?
* Kagura: Ding ding ding! Right on the cute, little nose, Devin! I got my hands on a nice piece of information♪
* You: What?! That's amazing, Kagura.
* Kagura: Oh, darling. When you compliment me, my heart races. Fufu, go on, please. Make it run a marathon♪
* Ryu: Alright already. Get on with it. What'd you hear?
* Kagura: I was told that the man ran in the direction of the forest located beyond the outskirts of town.
* Devin: The sun's already gone down, yet he ran to the forest?
* You: Why would he do that? Seems like a dangerous place to be at night.
* You: And it's not like it has a camping spot or anything like that. What could he possibly be doing there?
* Kagura: I'd assume... something he doesn't want people to see. But a guy being chased, going into a secluded forest at a time like this?
* Kagura: Doesn't it pique your curiosity?
* You: ... I think the word you're looking for is anxiety...
* Kagura: Sweetie, don't you worry your pretty little head, for it will be protected by yours truly♪
* Kagura: Well, I'm sure the big finale is coming up. Let's get going!

* Devin: There's an open space up ahead, but there's nothing th--- Hm?
* Ryu: Hey, see that over there...?
* Mysterious Man: ...
* Kagura: The encounter I've been dying for♪ But it doesn't look like we'll have any alone time tonight.
* Boss: ... Ya finally here. So, you're the dogs that've been sniffin' around, 'ey?
* Ryu: Wh-who are you?! Also... sniffing around...?
* Boss: I've been pullin' the strings around here. These guys already told me all I need to know about you mutts.
* Boss: Ya been askin'... too many questions around my hideout... Capiche?
* You: Actually, that's really just a misunderstanding. See, what had happened was...
* Devin: ...! I suppose we were on patrol the entire day...
* Ryu: No no no. Sure, we were pretending to be on patrol, but you couldn't call that anything more than acting, really...
* Boss: Dirty dogs playin' dumb... So ya are coppers. Either way, ya snoopin' has gone too far. Time for me to put an end to that. Catch my drift?
* Boss: ...
* Boss: ...
* Devin: ... They just keep on coming.
* Boss: I knew all about ya sniffin'. To put it simply, I created a trail for you to follow.
* Kagura: Oh~! Kind of like on TV when the characters get lured into the bad guys' lair, right?
* Boss: Hmph. Relaxed, 'ey...? Let's see how long you can keep that attitude up, wise guy.
* Ryu: So this must be the reason why his behavior changed...
* You: Uhm... This is kinda bad, isn't it?
* BF: ...!
* You: ([BF name]... Is he trying to protect me...?!)
* Ryu: Wh-what are we supposed to do now?
* Kagura: Fufufu...
* Boss: What...? Finally startin' to lose it, Mister Cool?
* Kagura: I have to say, luring us here was a good move! However...
* Kagura: I'm just not sure you stuck the landing, that's all.
* Boss: Hm? Whattya goin' on about?!
* Detective: Nobody move!
* You: Are those... police officers surrounding us?
* Boss: ... Not bad.
* Kagura: No, not bad. Just better♪
* Devin: Kagura... You planned this?
* Kagura: Mhm, after we split up to gather information, the answer hit me like a bolt of lightning. I gave them a call before we came out here.
* Ryu: ... Wouldn't have hurt to fill us in, you know.
* Kagura: No way~. Ever since we entered the forest, we were being watched. Telling you would have been the same as letting the baddies know♪
* You: Good thing everything turned out okay...
* Kagura: Alright, why don't we leave the rest to the police and head home?
* You: Hey, Kagura. Did you have us doing all this stuff today because you knew this would happen?
* Kagura: Ahhaha, makes you wonder, doesn't it? However, I tend to think that things are more fascinating when you know less about them.
* Ryu: ...
* Devin: ... Hm? What's wrong, Ryu?
* Ryu: ... I know we did something good for the town and all, but... I still don't think this helped me much with my acting...

**Standard ~ Knight in Shining Armor**

* BF: Phew... A run-in with the actual mafia. Definitely didn't see that coming...
* You: Yeah, it threw me for a loop too.
* BF: You know, though, those detectives were pretty cool. The real ones, I mean.
* You: Yeah! I thought the same thing!
* BF: It kinda felt like we were transported into an actual TV show.
* You: Yeah. You're definitely no likely to run into a situation like that. That is, if you're just minding your business and living a normal life.
* BF: When I think about the people who are fighting to protect their fellow citizens every day like that, I feel so much more respect for them!
* You: Fufu, you think you wanna do the same now?
* BF: Yeah. Just a bit.
* You: Hm? A bit?
* You: (With all that excitement, I was sure he would say he'd do anything to become a detective...)
* BF: There's no question. I absolutely think protecting others and taking down the bad guy is amazing stuff.
* BF: However, I was thinking about how I wanted to be only one person's knight in shining armor...
* You: One person, huh...? Is that person me, by any chance?
* BF: Yep. Even though I know I'm not always the most dependable...
* You: Hold on, that's not true!
* BF: Really?
* You: Of course not! All you have to do is be next to me and I already feel at ease.
* BF: Thank you for saying that. I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure you never doubt that feeling!
* You: [BF name]... I have to thank you too... for always being by my side.

**Friendly ~ Duty to Protect**

* BF: Man, who could've seen that coming?! There we were, just playing detective, and boom! The mafia shows up! Unbelievable...
* BF: Goes to show just how real our detective impressions were when we were in town investigating!
* You: It definitely caught me off guard. I thought maybe we ended up on a film set or something...
* BF: Seriously, that was some dangerous stuff we were dealing with... Luckily, those detectives were right on our tail.
* BF: And you know what? They are so freakin' cool! The way they take down bad guys like that!
* You: Yeah, and the way they fearlessly take a stand in the face of danger... They're really brave.
* BF: Ngh... But you saw how I was ready to protect you too, right?!
* You: Yeah, of course. Thanks for that... So, just now, when I complimented the detectives... Was that jealousy I sensed?
* BF: N-no, what would make you think that?! Well... Actually, maybe a little...
* BF: Yeah... To be honest, after the incident was wrapped up, I felt a strong sense of frustration.
* You: Huh? What do you mean?
* BF: If I could just pick up some cool moves and become strong enough to give those bad guys a taste of their own medicine...
* BF: Even in the most dangerous of situations, I'd be able to protect you. Thinking about that gave me an unsettling feeling.
* You: You thought maybe you wanted to be like the detectives?
* BF: Hmm~. Sure, I wanted to be tough like them, but...
* BF: I kinda figured as long as I became the kind of man who can protect you, [your name], then that's all I need~... Heh, just kidding.
* You: Still, chasing the mafia, being my protector. You were pretty cool back there.
* BF: I-I was?! Hehe... You sure know how to make me smile!
* You: Mhm. Thank you for that! But remember! You're not allowed to overdo it and hurt yourself, okay? I was worried about you, you know.
* BF: I know, I know! After all, I have to become the type of guy you can depend on, no matter what situation we're faced with!

**Tsundere ~ Hidden Embarrassment**

* BF: I can’t believe we ended up at a mafia base…
* You: Not to mention actual detectives showing up to save us.
* BF: Feels like we were dancing in the palm of Kagura’s hand the entire time.
* You: Ahaha… No way, that can’t be true… I think…
* BF: Either way, I’ve had enough playing along with his games.
* You: You know, though, those detectives were pretty cool! The real ones, I mean.
* BF: Well, look who had time to observe the police.
* You: I just kept thinking about how the real thing is so different after seeing how effectively they took down those gangsters!
* BF: … Is that so?
* You: But I think the coolest one there was you!
* BF:… What?
* BF: What are you saying? Just stop, I don’t need you to try and flatter me.
* You: I’m not!
* You: You stepped in front of me to protect me when we were surrounded, right?
* You: And when we were walking in the forest, you gently grabbed my hand. Not only that but-
* BF: I was thinking about buying you some dessert to help comfort you after such a rough day, but I suppose we’ll skip that idea…
* You: Huh?! H-how come?! Did I do something to make you mad?!
* BF: in other words, you’ve said too much… Give it a rest already.
* You: (… Ah. Maybe he’s embarrassed.)
* BF: Look, it’s already late. Let’s go home.

**Mysterious ~ To Protect Each Other**

* You: Imagine that. Running into the actual mafia... And there we were, thinking he was alone. We couldn't have been more wrong, huh...?
* BF: Not to mention being completely surrounded. Still, being involved with a real case ended up being a truly valuable experience.
* You: ... You mean you weren't scared? We could've ended up getting hurt, you know...
* BF: Certainly. However, I did not fear for my safety.
* You: Seriously?! I don't know if I'd call that strong, or calm, or what...
* You: (I'm gonna have to learn how to keep my cool from [BF name]...)
* BF: Fufu, I can only say that regarding my own safety, though...
* You: ... Hm? What do you mean?
* BF: I have no qualms about getting hurt myself, but I'd be quite unhappy if tragedy befell you.
* BF: Obviously, trading your well-being for the chance to play the role of detective is not acceptable.
* You: Are you trying to say you don't mind getting hurt? Because I wouldn't call that 'acceptable' either...
* BF: It was not my intention to put that look on your face... Have I caused you grief?
* You: No, I wouldn't say that. It's just that I would rather you prioritize yourself, instead of thinking about me first.
* You: And most important of all, I don't want you going around getting hurt.
* BF: Hmm~, alright. Shall we go learn the art of self defense, then?
* You: Huh? Did you say self-defense?
* BF: Indeed. I believe if we learn it, we'll not only be able to defend ourselves, but we'll also be able to protect each other. Fabulous idea, no?
* You: Oh, you might be right! If we do that, we won't have to worry!
* BF: Fufu, motivated now, are you? Fantastic. Shall we search for a place where we can learn when we get back?
* You: Yeah. Let's do it!

**Tough ~ What’s Important**

* You: Wow, can you believe that? There we were, just playing detective, and suddenly we’re being confronted by the actual mafia.
* BF: I know… Good thing it was dealt with before anything could happen.
* You: You can say that again. We’re lucky those detectives showed up when they did.
* You: I wonder though. Do you think detectives are always running into dangerous situations like that?
* BF: Relatively often, I would guess. Though I think it says something that people still become detectives regardless of that fact.
* You: … Do you think you’d want to become one?
* BF: Yeah. That is, assuming I’d be able to in the first place.
* You: … I don’t think… I would like that…
* BF: …? Why not?
* You: Well, it’s very dangerous work, right? It’s not like they always catch the bad guy right away…
* You: I’d be worrying myself sick waiting for you to come home, wondering whether you’ll make it back okay or not.
* You: … Ah! But you’d be pretty cool if you became a detective too! So, I guess, uhm…
* BF: … Hmph… I see.
* You: Huh…? Uhhh, what’s so funny?
* BF: Sorry, I didn’t mean to let that smile slip… You just seemed so… flustered.
* You: Ngh… I suppose I was a little too serious for a hypothetical situation…
* BF: Nah, actually… It’s quite the opposite. It’s nice to hear that you were genuinely worried about my safety.
* BF: But remember, nothing means more to me than being by your side.
* You: Fufu… Thank you, [BF name]…
* You: (Words that touch my heart. That’s the [BF name] I know and love…)

**Cute ~ Mutual Support**

* You: Wow, can you believe that? There we were, just playing detective, and suddenly we’re being confronted by the actual mafia.
* BF: I couldn’t believe my eyes~! Good thing those real detectives were there to save us.
* BF: And seeing them up close like that was super cool~… It’s like we were on a TV show!
* You: (Hm, sure didn’t expect that reaction. I thought something like this would scare [BF name]…)
* You: …? [BF name]? Why are you still sitting?
* BF: Heh, ehehe… My legs gave out, now that I finally feel at ease…
* You: I see… So you were actually fighting your fear the whole time.
* BF: I was just thinking about how I needed to protect you! So I gave it my all, but now I’m pooped…
* You: You know, though, I thought you were just as cool as those detectives.
* You: The way you were shielding me. And you held out until the very end, allowing me to feel safe.
* BF: R-really…? But I wonder if I did everything I could to keep you safe…
* You: Of course you did! Thank you for staying by my side.
* You: Alright, think you’re about ready to stand up? Here, give me your hand.
* BF: Mhm! Ehehe… I’m okay now♪ Hey, hey, can we keep holding hands?
* You: Fufu. Yeah, that’s fine.
* BF: Ehehe, yay. Thanks♪ Your hand is… so warm. It makes all my worries fade away♪
* BF: You know… If I was alone, I think I would have froze out of fear.
* BF: It was thanks to you that I was able to be so brave. So thank you!
* You: Right back at you. As long as we’re together, there’s nothing we can’t face!
* BF: Yep! Ehehe… [your name], let’s stay together forever.

**Relaxed ~ Emotional Support**

* You: \*sigh\*... I can't believe we ran into the actual mafia...
* BF: Quite unfortunate~. I'm glad no one got hurt though~.
* You: Yeah. And being saved by actual detectives? That's just crazy.
* BF: They were pretty cool~... I guess there really is nothing like the real thing.
* You: Fufu... But you know, I thought you were cool too.
* BF: Wait, me~? Cool~? Why's that~?
* You: When the mafia surrounded us, you were calm, cool and collected...
* You: Not only were you ready to fight back, but you were dependable as well.
* BF: You think so~? If that's true, than I have you to thank for it~.
* You: Huh? Really? Why me?
* BF: If I were by myself, I might have been too scared to try and fight back.
* BF: But since we were together, I kept thinking about how we had to make sure everyone got out of there, safe and sound~.
* You: [BF name]...
* BF: Really, though, the detectives came along and were nice enough to deal with them, so I didn't actually have a chance to show off~.
* You: That's not true. You showed something! You showed how cool you are! Just like I always thought you were!
* BF: Thanks for saying that~.
* BF: But... what will we do if we run into that situation again~...?
* You: (A situation where we're surrounded by the mafia again...? Yeah, right...)
* BF: Alrighty~, I've decided~! As soon as we get home, we're gonna watch a bunch of detective shows and do some learning~!
* You: Oh, good idea! After seeing those guys at work earlier, I kinda wanted to watch some too!

**Vain ~ The Obvious**

* You: Wow, to think the actual mafia would believe that we were real detectives...
* BF: Hmph. You would think the so-called mafia would make sure to check first.
* You: Yeah, that's true. If you think about it, they were under that impression from the very beginning too.
* BF: And when you look at it that way, saying they were a bit hasty doesn't even begin to cut it.
* You: Fufu, yeah.
* BF: But I mean, if we're talking about people who need to be more attentive, you shouldn't be so quick to talk.
* You: What?! Why...?
* BF: It's like I was telling you to watch your step in that forest over and over for nothing...
* You: ... Ah, but that wasn't because I wasn't paying attention...!
* You: (I know I fell earlier, but... sometimes you can't avoid it, and that just so happened to be one of those times...)
* BF: Oh, so there was a reason? If you have something convincing to say, you should just say it.
* You: B-but this is all just so sudden, I-I mean...
* BF: ... Well? Now's the time to share. Anything plausible?
* You: (Ngh... Grr, that [BF name]...!)
* BF: Either way, no matter what happens, I'll be there to protect you, so there's no reason to worry.
* You: ... [BF name]...
* You: (He's nagging and acting annoyed, but I'm the one he thinks about the most... That fills me with joy...)
* BF: After all, I can't take my eyes off of you for a second. Who knows what would happen?
* You: Wait, that's what you meant?! I was sure you were saying that because you like me...
* BF: What are you talking about? Why would someone want to protect someone they don't even like? There's no reason to go around asking the obvious.
