Chapter 345: Arc 5, - 39: The Next Step
Although the hour had gone well past the evening hours, her heart still sped up at the mere thought—the thought of, that kiss. With her eyes wide, there she sat in front of her board pinned with mysteries connected by red string.
No matter where her eyes darted to, that thought kept punching any sort of sleuthing she could even begin to tackle. Her hair had been fanned out and dried, her uniform most likely on the clothesline indoors.
Even so, it was quick work for a certain redhead to dispel the water from some of the garments—including the one Fumeko kept lying on the edge of her bed...
As she glanced to Tiffany’s blazer, she heard a couple knocks at the door, "Who is it?"
"Me kid."
Fumeko responded with silence.
Kazuo gently opened the door and glanced in. His eyes first went to the evidence board the brunette had set up and then to his daughter. "I, just wanted to bring you these," Kazuo placed a dozen or more brochures and pamphlets on her desk.
"What’re those supposed to be?"
"Kid," Kazuo didn’t meet her gaze, "It’s time for you to think of, what comes next. There’s no rush, but these should help. You’ve got a good grade point average, better than a lot of students.
Criminology, forensics, sociology, you can choose whichever course you want; choose any university or college you want—in the country, abroad.
Money’s not an issue and you have all the freedom to choose. If you still want to be a detective, you can check out the courses I marked on these. At least, think about it all," he advised, in a voice that was so close to breaking into a sigh.
Fumeko crossed her arms, "Yeah. I will," her lips tightened right after she spoke.
