Philip came up the stairs, book in tow, finger lodged in between two pages. “Shoutaoru, I think you should have a look at this. If this is true, then we’re in a load of trouble.”

He took the book that was handed to him. On the very last page, there was an illustration of a large grasshopper with purple eyes. “What does this have to do with anything? It’s just another bug.”

“Well, I looked into it, because this is Uva’s book, and it turns out Eiji-san’s final enemy was a scientist by the name of Dr.Maki, a man who was fascinated by destruction and the medals. He was the purple greeed. Apparently, Uva shares a mind with Maki now. As to why he needs Fries is anyone’s guess, but whatever it is, he obviously has a plan.”

“Do you know his location?” He adjusted his fedora a bit. His boss had once said that the path of the hardboiled was a lonely one. That was beginning to become true again. After 2 years of living by himself with rare interaction with customers and Philip, he met her. That’s when things began to pick up, and right at it’s peak, everything seemed to be falling in on him.
