Heiji's POV
Damn, what should I suppose 'ta say?
I can't tell her that wasn't Momiji, 'cuz she.. I mean we, clearly heard Momiji's voice. All thanks 'ta Kudo's moronic plan.
Luckily, Momiji called me last time.
☆FLASHBACK☆
~A day before the case in Kyoto~
Momiji called me for an unknown reason- Of course, Kazuha wasn't here, if she were then no doubt she'll break my phone.
-phone convo w/ Momiji-
Momiji: -ah-HEIJI-KUN!~ ♡
Hattori: What is it?
Momiji: Oh! Glad 'ya answered my phone call~ ♡
Hattori: Did somethin' happen'd?
She paused 'fer a second or two. Did somethin' really happen'd in Kyoto?
Momiji: Nothin' special, Heiji-kun~ ♡ I just wanna talk with 'ya. For 'ya know... Autumn is the season of LOVE. Well... I'm askin' 'ya if 'ya have a free time. This must be a perfect time for our first date, my future husband. ♡
Hah, knew it.
Hattori:-Oh....I'm hungin' up.
Momiji: W-Wait! ... It's a case!
Hattori: 。。。Huh-?
Momiji: The thing here is... Can 'ya be my bodyguard?
Wha-? What's this girl sayin'?!
Hattori: N-No way! 'Ya have that weird lookin' butler, 'right?
Momiji: I refused his offer, 'cuz I want 'YA 'ta be my bodyguard... As my future husband, Heiji-kun? ♡
Hattori: J-Jeez, I-I can't...I- I'm busy, 'fer 'ya know, Momiji.
(( Kazuha: H-HEEEEIJIIII!! WHERE ARE 'YA! 💢💢💢💢 ))
Hattori: KA-Kazuha?!?!?!?
Momiji: Oh- wait, Heiji-kun~!
Hattori: Gotta go! Kazuha's here!
Momiji: There's a serious case here in Kyoto! A serial mur-
*hung up*
Kazuha: Found 'ya! Heiji!
*a/n: Heiji-kun didn't heard Momiji's last message*
Hattori: A-ah... What's up, Kazuha?
Kazuha: Don't just " what's up " me, 'ya idiot! Didn't 'ya promised me 'ya will go with me 'ta watch a drama play on our school?!
Hattori: A-Aaaah! Sorry! I forgot.
Though I actually didn't. What could I do? There's a case.
Kazuha: Hehhh. So 'ya forgot about it...
Hattori: 'Ya. He-heh...
Kazuha bowed her head and kept silent. Is she crying?
.
.
.
.
Hey, who would cry 'fer a school drama? What a cry-baby, 'ya aho.
.
.
.
.
.

Hattori: K-Kazuha? 'Ya okay?

Kazuha: A-AHO! 'YA LIAR! DO 'YA REALLY THINK 'YA CAN FOOL ME?!
Crap. Does she knew?
Hattori: W-Wha'dya mean?
Kazuha: A case, aho! Didn't 'ya got involved in some whatever stupid case again?
H-How did she knew about it? I told Inspector Ootaki not 'ta not mention I got involved on that case!
Hattori: ... Then? How'dya knew? 'Ya didn't stalk me or whatever, didn't 'ya?
Kazuha: *blushed* O-OF COURSE NOT! W-WHY WOULD I DO THAT?! /////////
Hattori: 'Dunno.
Kazuha: I-I've heard it, from Ootaki-han. Don't blame him. I forced him 'ta speak, so he did...tell me.
Hattori: Hey, Hey... Could 'ya stop being bossy 'ta police?
*Kazuha ignored him and continued*
Kazuha: Well, I should forgive 'ya this time. 'Fer one thing-
What's she up 'ta, again?
Hattori: What?
Kazuha: 'E-errr... Let's...

Kazuha: I-I mean... A friendly date! 'Ya could decide when and where... If 'ya do that... I'll forgive 'ya! ////////
Hattori: A-AHO!! WHAT'CHA MEAN A DATE?!?!
Damn... What should I say? She raised the bar suddenly..
Kazuha: A-Ah! Forget it! 'Ya can't... right?
Hattori: O-of course no-
.
.
.
.

.
.

Kazuha: That's why I'm tellin' 'ta just forget 'bout it!
.
.

.
.
.
Does she really mean it?
.
.
.
.

.
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
Hattori: Aho! I was about 'ta say " O-of course! Why not? ".... So, tomorrow would be good?
I set up a serious face and turned back of Kazuha and run.
.
.
.
.
I can't hide it after all. Damn. This is too much, 'aho.
END OF FLASHBACK
Geez, ya'll never, ever, understand a girl.（¯﹃¯）
Kudo: Oh. Lost in thoughts, great detective of the West?
Hattori: S-shut up, boke.
Kudo: *laugh* Ha-ha. Still mad?
Hattori: Look what 'ya did 'ta Kazuha. I kept thinkin' what could I do 'fer her that I can't even focus 'ta this case. Boke.
Kudo: Yeah, yeah. I told you.. I'm sorry.
Hattori: 'Ya have 'ta pay 'fer this, Kudo.
Kudo: Yeah, sure.. 😅
We finished the conversation and started listening 'ta Occhan and our client.
Kogoro: Don't get me wrong for asking this, Ms. Sanae.
Ms. Sanae: Yes?
Kogoro: Why don't you first report this to the police, and bothered to get a detective from Tokyo?
Uncle's got a point there.
Ms. Sanae: I.. don't want the police to be involved with this. I just want to know who's been following me.
Kogoro: But ms. Sanae... With only this letter...
Ms. Sanae: The truth is... I have doubted that the stalker might be someone from our department.
Hattori: What do 'ya mean?
Ms. Sanae: I always left that book in the faculty. And then, I found the letter and the maple leaf placed on my book. The security of this faculty was undeniably real strict. No one could've enter that room unless you have the passcode, a fingerprint detector and a log book. But, only the teachers knew it. So I started 'ta think it was a colleague of mine.
Uncle Kogoro: I see.
Ms. Sanae: They're all close 'ta me..That's why I don't want the police 'ta get involved.
Kudo: Can we see the photos sent to you?
Ms. Sanae: O-Oh, sure...
She showed us the photos that was taken by the mysterious stalker.
Some of it was taken on the school, and some of it were riding on a bicycle, or walking on her way home.
Kazuha: Woah, this is really creepy.
Ran: You're right.
Momiji: Is this 'ya, Sanae-sensei?
Momiji showed us a picture she took from the pile of scattered photos we're investigating.
Kazuha: Wow! 'Ye'r really pretty, ms. Sanae!
Ran: Ah. This boy on her side. Is he your childhood friend, ms. Sanae?
Ms. Sanae: Ah, 'yah. It's just a childhood photo. It has nothing 'ta do with the case.. I just kinda mixed it up.
It showed a girl and a boy wearing a kimono in front of a big maple tree..
No, there's three. Looks like those girls didn't notice this, but I'm sure Kudo did. A girl who's hiding on ms. Sanae's back. Who is this girl?
Kogoro: Could you tell me the identity of these people on department you're doubting about?
Ms. Sanae: Yeah, sure. Follow me.
Momiji: Ah, sensei. Can I go with 'ya?
Hattori: Eh?
