Chapter 355: Arc 5, - 49: Drop Off
"In-crackle-news, there have been two cases of homicide reported in Mandrake Borough. The first victim, Mr Tristen Lineir, 42, was being investigated, while the second, Ms Samantha Floyd, 33, was becoming the next victim.
Further information is being kept private while authorities delve deeper into the case. It is uncertain that there might be a serial killer lurking around Mandrake Borough, but citizens are advised to exercise extreme caution in the area.
The current line of cases and files has not been deemed fit for public eyes, due to several grim details..."
"It was only a matter of time," Hotaru sighed as the radio continued to relay other news.
"The world knows about a serial killer," Jotou replied.
"A sewial killer!" Kineko threw her hands up and cheered.
"Mhm, they kill cereal," Jotou smiled to the child next to her at the dining table, where thin books were lying about—some open.
"Aunty thinks sewial killers kill cewrial?" Kineko’s eyes widened while she looked up to Jotou. "Aunty can’t be this stupid, sewial killers kill people! With big knives and bats," she began imitating holding such weapons.
"Really!?" Jotou gasped. "It must be all that studying you’re doing. You’re becoming smarter."
"Yesss!" after excitedly proclaiming and giggling to herself, Kineko’s body shrunk a little. "Aunty Spauky-Eyes will go find them and kill the killer first, right? You have to!"
The blonde’s lips twisted, but she retained a smile, "I’ll definitely find them and make them pay. Their justice is due and I’ll do my best to serve it.
So, you can be as brave as you need to be while I’m around. I’d never let anything bad happen to you and no killer is gonna get their hands on you, got it?"
