Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6
Investigation 1: Chapter 1
It was 3 o’clock, a time where even the plants and fauna were asleep--
Not really; but it was pretty late into the night.
A certain scheme was unfolding within one of the rooms in the Kujo Manor.
─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Kirishima: LET OUT SECRET STRATEGIC MEETING BEGIN!!!
Kaname: That’s clearly not the volume you should be speaking in if you want to keep this secret...Anyway, where’s Kiyoshi-san?
Kirishima: He said that he can’t come due to work.
─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Shindo: Pass me the Record of the Proceedings later. I’ll go through them.
─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Kirishima: ...So, he says.
Kaname: Understood.
Kaname: So what’s the agenda here?
Kirishima: I was thinking of doing something for Miyase since we’re always causing him trouble on our end.
Kirishima: I mean, he feeds us good food on a daily basis and makes all of our rooms sparkling clean.
Kirishima: We’re able to live in such comfort everyday thanks to him.
Kirishima: Long story short , I want to do something big.
Kirishima: SOMETHING THAT GOES KINDA LIKE CRACKLE-BOOM-POW!
Kirishima: ...Kinda like that sorta.
Kaname: That’s not of much help though.
Kirishima: No, it’s plenty, don’t you think!?
Kujo: It’s fine. I can tell that you’re thankful towards Go, at least.
Kirishima: As expected of you, Kujo-san! It must be the tension!
Kaname: (He could tell just from that…?)
Kujo: If we had to convey our gratitude for him not in words, but through actions,
Kujo: Perhaps it would be prudent for us to create a space for him where he can relax and take his mind off.
Kirishima: ...Something relaxing…? Then how about a trip to the Hot Springs…?
Kujo: I see. It could also very well be something overseas.
Kujo: There are also a couple of great Hot Springs located in Italy and Hungary.
Kujo: How does renting one of those Hot Spring Facilities sound?
Kirishima: That’ll certainly be an amazing feat!
Kujo: And then, after he has thoroughly relaxed from the Hot Springs, how about calling in a Top-Notch Chef and treating him to a scrumptious full-course?
Kujo: Maybe we should also get him a special seat to the Opera and grace his ears with wonderful singing.
Kirishima: That’s great! Kujo-san! Let’s just roll with that!
Kaname: Hold up. Don’t you think that’s taking things a little too far?
Kirishima: Can’t we do that?
Kaname: It’s not that we can’t, but since it’s a party for him…
Kaname: Wouldn’t it be better if we do things based off things he likes?
Kujo: Things that he likes…
Kujo: How about the garden that he takes care of?
☆⋅⋆ …⋅─────────────────────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Investigation 1: Chapter 2
Kirishima: I think that’s a super duper great idea!
Kaname: Then how about we hold a Garden Party?
Kujo: I see; that’s a brilliant idea.
Kujo: However, it’s boring to simply just hold a party.
Kaname: What if we add on a concept to it then?
Kujo: ...Come to think of it, there’s something called a Butlers’ Cafe.
Kujo: I’ve seen it on TV before.
Kujo: It’s a place where people serve their customers with hospitality whilst dressed as Butlers; just as the name implies.
Kujo: I think it’ll make for a pretty interesting idea.
Kaname: Wait, so we’re going to be holding a butler-themed party?
Kujo: Indeed. We shall become butlers and serve him with hospitality.
Kujo: I think that this is the best bet we have to show him how grateful we are to him, don’t you think?
Kirishima: I think you’ll look super duper cool dressed as a sheep, Kujo-san!
Kirishima: I’m sure he’ll also be appeased and pleased by how fluffy you’ll be!
Kaname: Butlers, not sheep. They’re someone who takes care of others.
Kirishima: What’s with that; how confusing!
Kirishima: Alright, let’s decide who else we should call in on our plan!
Kirishima: It’s a party for him, so I want to do it with a bang.
Kujo: Of course, I’m sure he’ll be happy if it’s a lively party.
Kirishima: ‘Kay. I’ll tell Shindou about it later!
Kujo: We’ll be leaving that to you, Kirishima. Do tell him when the next meeting is scheduled too.
Kujo: Let’s see...how about next week, same day and time?
Kujo: There are still a lot of things we have to think about.
☆⋅⋆ …⋅─────────────────────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Investigation 1: Chapter 3
Kirishima: I’m glad we were able to decide on something so soon thanks to Kujo-san and Kaname!
Kirishima: Still, all this thinking has got me hungry. Maybe I should search the fridge and see if there’s anything edible in there.
─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Miyase: Oh, Kirishima-san! Good evening.
Kirishima: Miyase, you’re still awake at this hour?
Miyase: I’m planning on making Meatloaf tomorrow, so I’m in the middle of preparing it right now.
Kirishima: Ohh! Sounds delicious!
Miyase: Yup. It’s something that I’m confident in making, myself.
Kirishima: (To think that he’s been preparing for it till this late...)
Kirishima: (We really do have to thank him properly for his hard work everyday. I’ll definitely make this party of ours a success!)
☆⋅⋆ …⋅─────────────────────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Investigation 1: Chapter 4
--A couple of days later.
Sugano: Good work today! Here are the files you asked for.
Rei: Yes, these are the ones.
Sugano: Say, did you receive an invitation too?
Sugano: The one for the “Thank you Miyase Party”?
Rei: Well, everyone in the Narcotics department got one.
The multitude of invitations sent to the Investigation Planning Division.
Written inside an envelope that had been sealed with a red wax seal was:
“We have decided to cordially hold a thank you party for Miyase Go, a member of the Kujo Family.”
“We’d be honoured if everyone who has been under his care participates in this party.”
Sugano: Oh, same here. Say, this invitation was also sent out to others asides from the Narcs and the Investigation Planning Division, right?
Rei: I think so. Most probably.
Imaoji: If that’s so, then I think that they sent out quite a number of these invitations.
Sugano: I don’t really get it but it does sound fun.
Sugano: I plan on going, but what about you two?
Rei: I’m going. I’m definitely participating in his thank you party.
Imaoji: I’ll go too if she’s going.
Sugano: Yay! A Kujo Family party sounds like it’ll be something awesome!
Sugano: I'm sure the food will be great! And it'll probably be real extravagant too! Plus, lots of celebrities will be there~
Imaoji: A party held by the Kujo Family is almost certainly guaranteed to be a big thing.
Sugano: Whee~ I can't wait! Oh, right! Tsukasa-san said that he's coming too.
Asagiri: Only because I'm worried if Natsuki's going there alone.
Sugano: Eh~ I'll be fine! I always have good table manners.
Rei: Is Arakida-san and Hattori-san going as well?
Sugano: Sousei has something on that day so he won't be going. And as for You-san…
─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Hattori: Maybe, if I feel like it.
─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Sugano: So he says.
Rei: Ahaha, that's just like him to say that…
Asagiri: How about your end?
Rei: Everyone says that they'd love to participate if they could make the time for it, but…
Rei: Seki-san and Natsume-kun say that their participation depends on how the cases they're involved in proceeds, I suppose.
Rei: Seems like they're going to be headed to a location near the mountains for their cases.
Imaoji: And Watabe-san did mention before that he had a dinner scheduled on the day itself.
Asagiri: What about that guy?
Rei: That guy? Who…?
Asagiri: I'm talking about Aoyama.
Rei: It seems like he's free on the day so he's willing to attend.
Asagiri: ...I see.
Rei: (He looks really disgruntled…)
Rei: (Come to think of it, I wonder who else is coming?)

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6
Investigation 2: Chapter 1
Maki: Sounds like the Kujo Family’s going to be holding a party. An invitation came.
Hiyama: The same invitation has been sent my way too.
Hiyama: There are stunning flowers of all seasons blooming in their garden, so I’d definitely want to see them for myself.
Maki: I got an invitation, so I’m planning on turning up. What about you, Kyosuke?
Kyosuke: Yeah, I have that day off so I think I’ll turn up.
Hiyama: Hatori and Kagura probably got invited too; I’ll check with them later.
Kyosuke: ...Wait, huh?
Maki: What’s the matter?
Kyosuke: This wax seal that’s been imprinted onto the invitation...
Kyosuke: It seems like we’ve got ourselves different designs.
Hiyama: ? Let me see.
Maki: You’re right. Hiyama-kun and Kyosuke both got the rose design. Mine’s the only one with the “K” insignia.
Maki: Come to think of it, it was written in the letter that we had to bring along our individual envelopes on that day itself too.
Hiyama: It’s them we’re talking about; I’m sure they have a plan up their sleeves.
Maki: Which means that whatever it is, it’ll be a secret until the day itself.
Kyosuke: I’m looking forward to seeing what happens.
─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Hinata: I think I’ll go with a cream soda. How about you, Kana?
Kaname: I’ll take...an iced-coffee.
Hinata: Alright, it’s decided then. Right, I’ve received your invitation by the way. Thanks.
Hinata: Everyone says that they’ll try to make it on the day to participate.
Kaname: I see. They don’t have to force themselves to come by if they can’t make it though.
Hinata: I’m going though. The secret hidden within the invitation has piqued my interest anyway.
Kaname: Whatever are you talking about?
Hinata: Hehe. It really tests your observation skills.
Ping-
Kaname: ...Oh, sorry. It’s Koya-kun. Could you give me a moment?
Hinata: Sure, no problem.
Kaname: (He wants to introduce all the participating members for the event next Sunday, he says...)
Kaname: (Well, I suppose that guy is pretty much one of us from the Kujo Family.)
Kaname: (Guess I’ll give him an OK.)
☆⋅⋆ …⋅─────────────────────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Investigation 2: Chapter 2
--And then, a couple more days later.
I ended up visiting the Rose Garden together with Kirishima-kun and the others.
Kirishima: Whoa- This is amazing! Roses, roses, everywhere!
Kaname: I mean, it IS a Rose Garden for a reason.
Kujo: This is brilliant.
Shindou: This alone proves to be a pretty spectacular view.
Miyase: Each and every one of those roses are stunning. I’m sure they were all raised with lots of love.
─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
--And then, just last week. Kirishima-san sent us all a certain invitation through a Group LIME.
Rei: (The group name’s “Miyase Party”)
Rei: (There’s no mistaking it; this must be a group for that party.)
Rei: (But why am I getting this?)
In any case, I decided to give my OK in response to the new invitation, and when I scrolled upwards to look at the chat’s log…
“Kirishima: Let’s meet-up at 8AM next Saturday at the Kujo Manor!”
“Kirishima: Everyone inside this group is to come!”
The message was posted inside the group as such, no questions asked.
─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Kaname: Sorry for making you put up with us this early in the morning despite it being your day-off, big sis.
Kaname: I just couldn’t stand hearing Koya-kun’s non-stop whining about wanting you to participate in this as well.
Rei: Not at all; don’t worry about it. Rather, I’m glad to be invited.
Rei: But why are we in a Rose Garden of all places?
Kaname: It’s one of the things we have to thank Go-san with.
Kaname: On record, Kujo-san said that he wanted to change up the garden’s scenery up a little.
Kaname: He wanted to spruce it up to show everyone how magnificent his garden is, knowing that Go-san would be proud of it when it’s at it’s prime.
Miyase: Wow, these Eventail d'or are beautiful…
Miyase: I’ve heard that it’s extremely hard to breed this particular species of rose.
Staff: It requires a dose of pesticide and fertilizer once every 10 days.
Staff: But it does bloom beautifully, for all the trouble it’s worth.
Miyase: They must have been raised with lots of love and care. Ahh...how wonderful.
Rei: (His eyes are sparkling in delight to be surrounded by such flowers.)
Kujo: …...
Kujo-san’s watchful eyes were all so soft as they looked over Miyase-san.
Surely, this must be one of the gifts they had decided to bestow upon Miyase-san, as a token of gratitude.
Miyase: This one here’s a King Rose, isn’t it. How absolutely lovely…
Kirishima: Let’s buy out everything that catches your eye. Bring out the one with whatever’s the name called earlier too.
Miyase: Ahh, sorry! It’s alright, you don’t have to! It just piqued my interest!
Kaname: Koya-kun, Miyase-san still looks like he’s thinking things through.
Kirishima: Ngh...I see. My bad.
Miyase: Not at all. Thank you for taking note of it though.
Miyase: Then...Could I get these ones here?
The roses he picked were whitish-pink in colour.
Kujo: How pretty. Are these Vine Roses?
Miyase: Yes. They’re called Shrub Roses since they’re half-hanging roses.
Miyase: I think it’ll turn out really picturesque if we hang it on the arch we have in our garden.
Kujo: There’s no problem with it if you say so. We’ll be taking that one then.
Staff: Understood.
The employee carefully packaged the rose seedlings.
And Miyase-san beamed as he received them.
Miyase: Thank you so much, Kujo-san. I’ll raise them lovingly!
Kirishima: Yeah. I can’t wait for the day that those Shrub Roses start blooming.
Rei: (An arch decorated with whitish-pink roses...)
Rei: (I’m sure it’ll be a magnificent sight to behold if Miyase-san’s the one raising them with love.)
Kirishima: ...Nuwareria and candy rufuna were…
Kirishima: Jumping, and then..
Kirishima: Ah- Damn it, it’s no good. I don’t know what’s head or tails anymore…
Rei: ……?
Kaname: Koya-kun, we’re leaving.
Kirishima: Hm? Oh, okay.
Rei: (Wonder what’s up with him?)
─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
--And then, on the morning of the party itself.
Kirishima: Oh, Miyase. Sorry, but could you come along with me to buy some stuff?
Kirishima: I want to go look for milk that goes well with my new protein.
Miyase: Sure. Let’s head on to Akechi-ya then.
Miyase: They sell their original brand of milk down there so I think there’ll be a wide variety for you to choose from.
Kirishima: Seriously? Sounds fun. We’ll be heading out for a bit then!
Kaname: Okay, have a safe trip.
Kujo: Take care.
Kachak
Kaname: ...They’ve both just gone out of the gates.
Kujo: Then, allow the operation to commence.
Riiing, riiiiing
“Yes. This is Felicia Catering Services speaking.”
Kujo: Please proceed with the party preparations just like we’ve discussed.
“Roger.”
Beep
Kujo: ...This should do it. They’ll take care of things from here.
☆⋅⋆ …⋅─────────────────────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Investigation 2: Chapter 3
Miyase: I’m back!
Miyase: ……!
Miyase: What...in the world…?
Kirishima: Oh! This is perfect! As expected of a Pro; they’re really quick with their hands!
Kujo: I see that you’re back, Go.
Kirishima: Kujo-san, what’s with all of these…?
Kujo: We have decided to cordially hold a thank you party for you to thank you for your daily efforts.
Kujo: As such, you, the star of the party, should simply enjoy yourself.
Miyase: No...You didn’t have to go so far...as to do this much for someone like me…
Kirishima: It’s fine! Ya’ don’t have to do anything today. Just tuck into the food and drinks; sing and dance!
Kaname: Everyone just fancies such a lively set-up, so just let them take care of you for today.
Miyase: ...Thank you. I’ll take you guys up for your word then.
Kirishima: ‘Right! They’re gonna be here soon. Kaname, we’re gonna go prepare!
Kaname: Yes, yes.
─────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
The party reception had already begun by the time I reached the Kujo Manor.
Rei: (Oh! Kirishima-san and Kaname-kun are over there. Should I turn in my invitation over there instead?)
When I got close enough to the gates to call out to them--
Kirishima: ‘ELCOME!
Rei: ……!
Kaname: Koya-kun, this isn’t an Izakaya. Look, she’s clearly startled.
Kirishima: Oop, you’re right. I couldn’t help but to revert back to my usual habits.
Kirishima: ...Ahem. Welcome; we’ve been awaiting your arrival.
He bowed gracefully; elegantly.
Rei: !
Kirishima: ...How’s that?
Rei: Super cool!
Kirishima: Coolio! It’s thanks to the special training I received under Kaname.
Rei: You’re both really spectacular today. It’s almost as if you’re real butlers!
Kirishima: Well, that’s because the theme we have going today’s a Butler Cafe.
Rei: B-Butler Cafe?
Kaname: It’s a concept where we all become butlers and serve the customers hospitably.
Rei: I see, that’s an interesting concept.
Rei: Oh, right. Can I sign in here?
Kaname: Of course you can. Could I see your invitation?
I pulled out the invitation along with the envelope it was sealed in and watched as he stamped it.
Kaname: X makes the mark. Now you can enjoy all of the food and drinks we have prepared inside.
Kirishima: Do enjoy yourself to the fullest today.
Rei: Thank you. I’ll be heading on in then.
Kirishima & Kaname: Have a nice day.
I passed through the gate as they both saw me off.
☆⋅⋆ …⋅─────────────────────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Investigation 2: Chapter 4
Rei: (Wow. The table decorations are really extravagant.)
Rei: (All the food looks really tantalizing too. It makes me feel hungry just by looking at them…)
Miyase: Hello, Izumi-san. Welcome.
Rei: Miyase-kun! I guess...congratulations...for today?
Miyase: Hehe. You don’t have to be so formal; it’s all alright.
Rei: Here. This is just a small gift to thank you for your everyday efforts.
His expression softened as I handed him the wrapped package.
Miyase: ...This is?
Rei: An apron. I thought of it when I started thinking along the lines of getting you something that’ll be of daily use to you.
Miyase: ……!
Miyase: Thank you so much. I’m really happy. I’ll take good care of it and use it well!
Miyase: Still, all that being said...I never thought that there’d be so many people gathered here just for this.
Rei: I think everyone has gathered here because they’re all thankful towards you.
Miyase: I’ve not done anything at all. I’ve only simply taken care of the garden and made food for everyone...
Miyase: That’s all I’ve done, and yet they’ve thrown me such a spectacular party.
Miyase: It’s so brilliant that I feel it’s a waste on someone like me, who only does things that come naturally.
Rei: ...This is just my personal feelings;
Rei: But I think that you always make delicious food and the mansion’s always beautifully maintained.
Rei: And the tea you serve is also really calming.
Miyase: …...
Rei: So, I think that even if you feel that it’s only natural for you to be doing these things,
Rei: those actions of yours have made people thankful towards you and have also granted them happiness.
Rei: That’s why, today’s the day where they’re all gathered here to convey their feelings. So, I think they’ll be happy if you’ll watch over them.
Miyase: …...
Rei: Sorry, I got too caught up in the moment and said some weird things, didn’t I…?
Miyase: ...Thank you. It makes me feel a little better, somehow.
☆⋅⋆ …⋅─────────────────────────────────────────⋅…⋆⋅☆
Investigation 2: Chapter 5
Sugano: Oh, it’s Rei! Good work~
Rei: Sugano-kun! Good work today too.
Sugano: Man~ There’s a real crowd in here. I’m really getting into the mood now!
Asagiri: Please remember to keep your alcohol consumption to a reasonable amount.
Sugano: Got’cha~
Aoyama: He’s not a kid so I’m sure he can control himself at least that much.
Asagiri: ……! Aoyama.
Asagiri: This has nothing to do with you; it’s a Investigation Planning Department problem.
Asagiri: Did you take any precautions against your own juniors?
Aoyama: Even if you ask me that, I’m pretty sure they’re all capable of controlling themselves.
Aoyama: The fact that you’re being so mouthy over this whole matter serves as further proof that you don’t have enough faith in your own juniors, don’t you think?
Asagiri: ...Oh?
Sugano: Ahaha, there they go again.
Rei: Hahaha…
Imaoji: Still, I never expected this many people to turn up; amazingly.
Yui: Ahh. What a great party this is with delicious wine to boot.
Yui: Who would’ve thought that I’d see Ch.Le Pin being served here.
Rei: Yui-san, since when did you obtain something like that?
Yui: It’s being put out on the catering table. You can go get some if you’d like to drink.
Rei: (It’s not even time to clink glasses and say cheers yet, but there he is. He really does things at his own pace at always...)
Imaoji: I hope Seki-san and Natsume-kun can make it in time.
Rei: You’re right. And Watabe-san too.
Hiyama: Izumi? You’re already here?
Rei: Hiyama-san! And Maki-kun too! It’s been such a long time...or so I’d like to say, but it hasn’t really been that long.
Maki: We somehow met each other again not too long ago for a bit.
Maki: Oh, right. Miyase-san, this is from Hatori and Aki.
Maki: They’re snacks that go well together with wine. Seems like they got it for you as an apology for being unable to come today.
Miyase: Thank you. I’ll treasure it.
Kyosuke: Thank goodness that I made it in time.
Rei: Kyosuke-kun! Is Makoto-san with you today as well?
Kyosuke: I tried calling him but he didn’t pick up.
Kyosuke: He’s probably still asleep since it looks like he pulled an all-nighter right before his current dateline.
Kyosuke: But he did say that he was coming to this party, so maybe he’ll make it just in time before the party ends.
Kawai: Oh, Rei-saaan!
Rei: Hikaru-kun! You came too?
Kawai: Yeah. We, of Seo Lab, got invitations too. Everyone’s here too~
Rei: Everyone came here?
Kawai: Yup. Ikuto-san’s has already gone off somewhere in that direction though.
Looking in the direction of where Hikaru-kun pointed at, I spotted him having a friendly chat with Hiyama-san.
Rei: (As canny as ever, I see...)
