"What are you trying to say John? Who is the Killer?" I frustratingly clutch my head as all the information that he gave me was hurting my head.

He didn't give me enough clues!

Or maybe he did but I just don't see it.

No! It is enough clues!

Or maybe I'm just... so oblivious that even I couldn't solve his problem this time.

After arguing my thoughts, I knew to myself that I couldn't solve this alone.

Inojin and Shikadai can solve this immediately!

But there was one thought in my mind that's been holding me back. The reason why I might not be able to solve John's clues. The reason why I couldn't help my friends from dying and... the reason why I couldn't accept who the Killer is.

It's because I love Mitsuki... I don't want to turn him to the police. After the kiss, I confirmed that I do love him and don't want him to go to jail but... if he really is the Killer, what's need to be done has to be done! I may love him but he have killed those people who are more important to me than him.

"I just have to prepare for it. I... must talk to John once more." I told to myself and put all the things that I have written inside my back then texted Inojin and Shikadai at the group chat we have made.

Sumire was also in the group chat but since she's... gone now, no one dared to removed her from the group.

"Hey guys, meet me tomorrow at the Burger place. I have something very important to tell you both."

After that, I stayed up all night trying to solve John's clues but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't find out what he's trying to say. Eventually, I fell asleep.

My alarm woke me up in the morning and remembering what happened last night, I shot up from my bed and got ready to meet up with Inojin and Shikadai. When I was ready, I went out of my bedroom and look at John's bedroom, which was at the end of the hallway.

I walk towards it and knock a few times but didn't get a response. I tried opening the door but it was lock. With a sigh, I made my way downstairs and saw my father talking to someone at the door. Curiosity got me and I tried peeking who the person that he was talking to.

"Oh Y/n, good morning. Where are you going today?" My father greeted me as soon as he notice my presence.

"I'm going to meet up with a friend today." I replied and he nods.

"I see." By the time he said that, I finally made it down the stairs and saw the person that he's talking to.

"Iwabe? What are you doing here?" I ask the person that my father was talking to and he gave me a half smile.

"Your father ask me to help him with the gardening since he knew too well that I love gardening." Iwabe replied and I nod.

"I see..." I said then walk past them. "I'll be going now dad!"

"Be careful sweetheart!" My father yelled and I smiled at him.

I'm lucky to have a father like him.

Normal POV

When you made it at the Burger cafe, Inojin and Shikadai were already there waiting for you. You went straight to the point and told them everything about what John had told you.

"So someone who's already in front of you. Wait a minute, if he said that the Killer had been listening on everything you are doing then... you're being watch. Right here, right now." Shikadai stated and I widen my eyes.

Then that means... whoever the Killer is, is listening to our conversation right now.

"Y/n, do you have anything that's attach to your body? Something that you've been wearing everyday and never take it off?" Inojin questions and that's when I realise that I've been holding the chain necklace that my mother have given me on my last birthday.

It was a heart-shape necklace that's in a colour of f/c.

"Y-yeah, the necklace that my mother gave me." I said while removing the chain necklace out of my neck and showing it to them.

Shikadai inspected the necklace and opened it to see a picture of me and my mother.

"How long have you been wearing this for?" Shikadai ask.

"Since... my mother died. I got it from my 8th Birthday and I didn't paid much attention to it but after my mother died, I started wearing it." I answered and Shikadai went into his thinking mode.

"Strange, the picture is a bit crooked." Shikadai said and pulled the picture out just to see what it looks like a small device of an object. "That explains it."

Me and Inojin both leaned closer at the object to see it. That's when I notice how close me and Inojin were. When he seem to notice it as well, he widen his eyes then blush but I didn't paid attention to him.

???'s POV

"I guess they found out about the recorder. On top of that, the blonde kid seems to be flirting with your girl." My partner told me and I growl at him.

"I guess he's the next target then." I said and my partner smirk.

"Finally, more blood to shed." He held on his weapon tighter and I smirk.

Soon Y/n, soon you'll finally be mine!

Reader's POV

After Shikadai destroyed what he called the Recorder where someone could hear everything that's around me, he turned to me and gave me a worried look.

"Y/n, I think your life is in danger. If John somehow knows who the killer is, then it would be someone that he knows already and if the Killer had been spying on you and listening to everything that's around you. In if that's the case, then the Killer's target is you." Shikadai said and I was dumbfounded.

"M-me?" Was all I could get out.
