Fred finds himself rather excited to get back to school. Not for the work, of course, but the mischief! He and George had also heard through the grapevine that this year is supposed to be more exciting, more chaoticâsomething will be happening, but what, he doesnât know. He just has to sit tight and wait until the feast, where Dumbledore will undoubtedly give them a clue as to whatâs about to happen. Fred can hardly handle the wait.
But when Fred ends up at the Quidditch World Cup with his father, siblings, and friends before he heads off to Hogwarts for his sixth year, the last thing he expects is to meet someone who makes him want to push off school for as long as he possibly can. Heâs expecting the laughs and teasing and Butterbeer and Quidditch puns and stories shared with old comrades. Which, he supposes, he is getting, but also with something else, too. His twin makes sure to add in some extra teasing.
Fredâs skimming the campsite for a familiar face, and he finds himself becoming aggravated when he canât spot who heâs searching for.
âWhere the bloody hell is Wood?â Fred asks, searching desperately through the very large crowd gathered outside their tent. âI thought you said weâd be seeing him before the match?â
âI did,â George tells his twin, also skimming the sea of people in front of them. His voice gets lost in the crowd, âCouldâve sworn he told me so..â
Suddenly, Harryâs voice echoes loudly. âOliver! Good to see you!â
George and Harry are giddy at the sight of Oliver Wood, their former Quidditch teammate and captain. The tall, lanky bloke stands outside of their tent, pulling both men into tight embraces. Itâs been quite a while since theyâve seen him, in fact.
Itâs when he begins blabbering on about the Quidditch World Cup that Fred notices his arrival.
âMate! Finally! How are things?â Fred says, seizing his hand for a firm shake. âThanks again for setting this up,â
âNot a problem at all, glad you lot could join! Been ages since weâve seen one another,â Wood beams, now offering greetings to Ron, Ginny, and Hermione respectively. Turning back toward the twins and Harry, he asks, âHow was your travel? Okay? No hiccups?â
âNot a one,â George says brightly.
âGood,â Wood says, sticking his hands inside his pockets. âReally glad you guys could make itâI know itâs mad as a hatter, here, but I reckon thatâs what makes it more exciting.â
Harry laughs at this and offers, âGoing to be really wicked watching you play professional, you know.â
But Fred is no longer listening to the conversation in front of him; instead, you seem to have caught his attention, and to his surprise, youâre making a b-line right toward him! He feels as though his throat is closing up; itâs not until he realizes that youâre actually headed toward Oliver that he begins to breathe properly again. If youâre not the most beautiful thing heâs ever seenâ
âMerlin! Wood, weâve been looking everywhere for you. Weâve got to head to the changing rooms in a bit. Reckon Lynch will want to give us a good chat beforehand.â Both you and Oliver erupt into chuckles, leaving Fred nearly breathless at the light, airy sound of your laugh.
âWhoâs this?â Fred asks shyly, watching your eyes sparkling at the sight of all of them.
âSpeaking of playing professionalââ Wood begins, introducing you to the lot around you, âthis here is Y/N. Wicked good Beater, started out just this year for the Irish National Quidditch team.â
Fred suddenly feels his insides constrict; you? A Beater? On a professional Quidditch team? You canât be more than seventeen years of age, and the smile tugging at the edges of your lips as you shake hands with everyone nearly sends him to the ground in a flustered mess. Suddenly, you take his hand in yours and he feels the electricity almost immediately. He can hardly contain the nerves. Heâs starting to believe in this whole âlove at first sightâ thingâ
âFred and George are Beaters, too,â Wood explains to you, and Fredâs delighted to see an impressed look on your face, âreally wicked, they both are. And Harry, here, what a brilliant Seeker.â
George playfully slaps him across the arm. Everyone around begins to laugh when he teases, âStop it, Oliver, youâre embarrassing us.â
âYou canât be more than sixteen,â Fred says to you without fully registering whatâs happening. Heâs saying things without thinking. He apologizes, âSorryâermâwhat I mean to say is, you look so young to be playing professional Quidditch. Not that thereâs anything wrong with that, IâI meanââ heâs finding it hard to now create coherent sentences when all he can hear are annoying snickers from his brothers behind him.
âColor you impressed?â you ask, and he feels his knees go weak. He offers a nervous laugh when you continue, âIâm flattered. Seventeen, actually. But, yeah, I reckon Iâve just gotten really lucky for my age.â
âLuck has nothing to do with it,â Oliver cuts into the conversation, âyouâre brilliant. Just waitâll you see her playâmadhouse, she is.â
You begin to laugh and turn back to him, âNeither one of us will be playing if weâre lateâLynch is looking positively dreadful, reckon weâll need to go and give the pep talk ourselves?â Wood agrees and picks up his broomstick heâd placed on the ground. You turn back to everyone, âIt was nice meeting all of you. See you after the match perhaps?â
âYeah!â George begins excitedly. To Wood, he says, âMate, when your team undoubtedly wins, come back here for a drink, eh? Itâs the least we could do to thank you.â
The nerves are bubbling up inside Fred; heâs hoping Wood will agree and bring you along. Something tells him heâs not quite finished talking with you yet.
Wood looks at you and both of you shake your heads. âAlright, then! Weâll see you in a few hours time!â
Shouts of luck echo from everyone in the group, including some people nearby in surrounding tents. Canât this evening last forever? The thoughts of Hogwarts, and whateverâs planned for this year, have seemingly left Fredâs mind, now that youâre here. Before you leave with Wood, he says to you, âGood luck! But from what Wood says, it doesnât sound like youâll need it.â
You grin broadly at him. âThanks, Fred. Keep your fingers crossed for me, though. We still need all the luck we can get if weâre going to crush Bulgaria.â
From behind George and Ron, Wood yells with delight, âWeâve got the luck of the Irishâitâs all we need!â
â -
The match is underway, and Ireland is absolutely crushing Bulgaria. When he flies close to them, Fredâs excited to see a very large grin plastered across Oliverâs face. But thereâs still a long while to go, and plusâthe Snitch is nowhere to be found.
But why is it, Fred thinks to himself, is he feeling so nervous? Perhaps itâs the heights. Heâs standing with his family up near the top of the pitch, what looks like millions of rows of spectators beneath them. Are they in the highest one? Heâs too nervous to move and find out; heâs nearly rigid.
He realizes, though, that itâs not the height thatâs got him feeling jumpy. An incoming bludger is headed straight for the Ireland Chaser hovering right in front of them, and Fred feels as though his entire soul is on fire when you quickly fly past, pummel the Bludger to the other end of the very large pitch (much larger than Hogwartsâ), and send a wink his way before heading in the complete opposite direction, nearly vanishing in thin air.
George notices this and laughs. When Ginny and Ron question him on this, he nearly replies, âJust having a laugh,â
âWhy?â Ginny and Ron ask together. Ron continues rather anxiously, âYou worried Bulgariaâs going to catch the Snitch before Ireland, too? That Krum is absolutely wickedââ
âNo,â George laughs again over the crowd, âIâm having a laugh at Fred. Someone here,â he continues, pinching Fredâs cheeks, âis a bit flustered over one of those famous Beaters.â
âAm not.â Fred replies, a twinge of annoyance in his voice. He pulls at his long hair, trying desperately to cover up the cherry red color now flooding his cheeks. George just cocks his head to the side, as if to say, Really, Fred? Youâre an awful liar. He can feel his insides tighten at the thought of it. God, youâre brilliant. He wouldnât mind having you wrapped around him for the rest of the evening after Irelandâs impending win. He finds himself watching you with dazed eyes and a lazy smile, not even paying attention at all to the match in front of him. Instead, heâs counting the times you fly near them and meet his gaze. Fred swallows thickly and then agrees, albeit begrudgingly, âFine. So what? Sheâs gorgeousââ
ââand sweet,â
âand our age!â
âand plays professional Quidditch.â
Fred rolls his eyes at the mocking yet truthful statements coming from his friends. George opts to continue, âItâs no wonder youâre in love, Freddie.â
Ginny squeals, âPutty in her hands, he was!â
âWould you lot shove off?â Fred asks, eyeing Mr. Weasley curiously, thankful to see that heâs deep in conversation with Amos Diggory. âMake fun of me all you want, but for Merlinâs sake, donât let dad hear youâheâll absolutely never let me live it down.â
âAll the more reason to keep teasing, mate,â Ron tells him, turning toward Harry and Hermione before the three of them erupt into a fit alongside George and Ginny. Again, Fred just rolls his eyes.
But he doesnât really care what they think. Not now, anyway. Not when youâre hovering near them again and he notices the tight grip you have on your broomstick, the thin line of sweat at your hairline, the dimples in your cheeks when you grin brightly at another goal for Ireland. You turn and glance at them again, wiggling your eyebrows at him before pummeling another bludger straight toward a Bulgarian player, and Fred canât contain these feelings of both admiration and jealousy bubbling up inside him as his eyes try to follow you all around the pitch. All he can remember is the way your hand felt in his when you introduced yourself just a few hours ago. All he can think of is how bloody adorable you look in those Quidditch goggles and robes. And all thatâs flooding through his mind now, as he watches you slam yourself against a Bulgarian Chaser and call out to the other Ireland beater across the pitch, are the grins he keeps eating up each and every time you make so to fly by his seat in the stands.
â -
âHolyhead Harpies, for sure. Theyâre brilliant!â
âCouldnât agree more. And Puddlemere United?â
âMerlin, noâdonât tell Wood Iâve said this, but theyâre bloody awful. Just like the Falmouth Falcons. How about the Chudley Cannons?â
âMy familyâs exclusive to the Cannons, actually.â
âKnew I liked you for a reason, Fred.â
He lets a soft laugh escape his lips as he watches you tip your goblet backward and drink hastily the rest of your Butterbeer. Your cheeks are flushed; is it Irelandâs win? The copious amounts of Butterbeer youâve consumed? The fact that the tent is so bloody warm? Fred doesnât know, but he gets a sense that it might be something else when you bat your eyelashes at him and bite down on your lip to keep from smiling too much.
Heâs feeling much more confident nowânothing a few drinks and slaps on the shoulder from George couldnât fix! Heâs surprised at how.. normal you seem. Heâs hungry and desperate to learn more about you in your fleeting time together that heâs not even letting anyone else chat you up for a bit. Not that you mind, really. Itâs not like youâre itching to get away from him. Actually, Fred thinks to himself now as he watches you, you might just be inching closerâ
âSo tell me then, youâve been a Beater since your first year at Hogwarts, yes?â you ask, and Fred nods his head, eager to hear more, âyou and George. What about the other two?â you nod in the direction of Ron and Ginny, who are animatedly chatting up Oliver Wood now. âYour other siblings donât play?â
âNot those two,â Fred says, grinning a bit, âTheyâll join us for little games we have at home, but not for school. Although, come to think of it, Ginnyâs kind of brilliant actuallyâmaybe sheâll play for Hogwarts one day..â he thinks fondly on memories of the last summer when theyâd finally let Ginny join in on some of their matches.
âAnd what about you?â you ask, the glittering of your eyes very evident in the moonlight poking through the tent, âplans for after school? Pranks, maybe? Professional Quidditch, perhaps?â you tease him a bit, nudging him in the ribs.
Fred beams again and sips his drink slowly. He absolutely loves that you want to know more about him. âYou joking? Follow you after that brilliant match? I reckon youâd have quite a laugh.â Which you do. You laugh at this, and heâs positively melting into the ground beneath him, itching to hear your laugh more and more. âGeorge and I have some.. plans up our sleeves. Creating mischief at school isnât just a hobby, you know.â
âNo?â you inquire, sipping again on another Butterbeer, âis there such a thing as âprofessional prankstersâ?â
âIf there is, thatâs exactly what George and I are.â
The two of you fall into a fit of laughter, grabbing the attention of the other group nearby. George wiggles his eyebrows at Fred, who feels the nerves bubbling up inside him again and shakes his head at his twin, before turning back toward you.
âSo tell me,â Fred begins again, soaking up as much information as he can before the nightâs end, âyouâve won. Youâve won the bloody Quidditch World Cupââ the both of you giggle lightly, and he watches as you nervously pull at your hair and bite down on your lip again, ââwhatâre your plans now? School, holidays?â
âIâm going back home tomorrow, to visit with my family,â you reply, and Fred digests this. âMy parents are here tonight, but theyâre off somewhere with my aunt and uncleâtomorrowâs when I get to go and see my extended family.â
Fred nods, taking this in. He just has to ask; it wonât sound strange, will it? âYeah? And whereâs home?â
âOttery St. Catchpole,â you tell him, twirling the Butterbeer in your hands, and thereâs a catch in Fredâs throat at your words, âright in Devon, if youâre familiar?â
âYouâre kidding,â he replies breathlessly, and he sees you waiting with bated breath for his next words, âthatâs where we are. Howâve we never run into one another in the village? We live just across the large hill!â
You sit back, surprised, and Fredâs happy to see an enormous smile on your face. You open your mouth to speak, but just then, Wood calls to you from the entrance of the tent, noting that Irelandâs captains would like to have a quick word before reuniting the players with their families.
Fred feels his insides tighten; he doesnât want the night to be over, and he finds himself clutching his goblet rather tightly. He glances at his watch; Merlin, itâs nearly one am! How long had you two been at this? He peers at you, the rosy color of your cheeks still evident in the moonlight, and he wonders if youâre feeling the same way. When you turn back toward him and glance at him with sullen eyes and a weak smile, he realizes you just might be. You tell him, âIâm sorry the night has to end.â
âMe, too.â he admits, continuing to twirl his Butterbeer in his hands, âIâve had fun.â
âMe, too.â you echo him, standing up from your seat and stretching in your Quidditch robes. Fredâs feeling rather woebegone at your impending departure, but suddenly he feels his spirits lift a bit.
âCan I write you?â
You peer at him with admiration in your eyes. A large grin spreads across your face. âAbsolutely. Is that a promise?â you wink.
He laughs cheekily and hope he doesnât sound as positively giddy as he feels, âItâs definitely a promise.â
He watches as you look around the tent and pull at your robes. Then you ask him, âCould I maybe.. maybe see you for Christmas?â
Heâs beaming again; he feels that fire coursing through his veins once again. He stumbles over his words and clears his throat, âY-yeahâthat sounds great. Iâd like that.â
You grin and place a hand on his arm. âGood.â And much to his surprise, you lean in and place a gentle kiss upon his cheek before squeezing his arm once again and making your way to bid farewell to everyone else, and then toward the entrance of the tent. Once more, you turn back to him, raise a hand in farewell, and nearly vanish into thin air.
Fred doesnât even realize that George and Wood are standing beside him; heâs merely feeling the electricity buzz through him at this very moment, and is already beginning to count down the days until the Christmas holidays. When George pokes him in the ribs and interrupts his thoughts, heâs brought back to reality and notices everyone watching him nowâeach of them winking and chuckling lightly at this new relationship heâs seemed to have sparked. He can feel a chill wash over him when Wood leans in and says to him before leaving,
âIâm telling youâitâs the luck of the Irish, mate.â

Letâs Read & Suffer: Tsukumojuku by MaijĆ ĆtarĆ [part 19]
Today`s recap: In which Tsukumojuku finally enters the Illusionary Castle, reunites with a character that I honestly forgot existed, discovers a very convoluted serial killer puzzle, and then things once more get pretty damn meta. [tw: gore]
STORY 4 PART 3
After Tsukumojuku discovered her crime, Serika and Seshiru had to escape once more. They both looked very hurt, with Serika crying and saying that she didnât want to get separated from Tsukumojuku again, even if she understood that he had his own life now, what with his marriage and kids. [No, I donât know how he can get married at like 16 either.]
(Love was a memory kept by the whole body. Made in the brain, spread with the blood throughout oneâs entire being, and would never cease. ...and the love he once held for Serika was nothing more but a distant memory, he realized.)
When the twins fled Chofu, they left two disembodied hands of a man in the hidden room. According to Serika, that manâs name was Okubo Kengo. Well, that's proof enough. Tsukumojuku returned Ryouko's hollowed-out body to the police, and said that the criminal was Seshiru, leaving out the truth about Serika. A lot of bodies were later pulled out of the river, among them Okubo Kengo.
Tsukumojuku got the 10 million yen prize, transferred half of it to the twins' bank account, bought the magazines for his mother-in-law, and returned home in time. Whew! The mother-in-law questioned why he only got half the money, and he couldn't thought of a reason other than âer, must have dropped it on the way here?â, but it seemed they believed him.
He then learned that since Yanbe Tetsuo, the Illusionary Castle's owner, was quite rich, a prize for solving the Castle case had been funded: 30 million yen, which was something they could definitely use.
â
That night Tsukumojuku read the Third Story. Apparently Okubo Kengo was a serial killer there. In reality... well, you could say a lot of killing was done by his hands. [*rimshot*] In the Third Story, Seiryoin Ryusui was trapped in the Castle... maybe that meant theyâd meet tomorrow, once Tsukumojuku got through the underground waterway. (The Castleâs underground... wasnât that where the monster Gajobun was supposed to live?...) Maybe him thinking about the flag of Gibraltar, showing a key under a castle, really did make sense after all. Did the cross and the crown mean something too?
When he went to the park next morning, there was still a lot of policemen in there, investigating the terrain around the hidden room. A journalist came up to him like âOh, so you're that Great Detective Tsukumojukuâ. Since Tsukumojuku was afraid Ms Suzuki or Tsutomu would learn from the media where he is, he made the journalist faint before he could get any material. The police warned him against more noisy reporters, and didnât say anything as he entered a manhole, although they looked a bit confused as to why he was doing that. Tsukumojuku went some distance underground, turned on the flashlight he'd brought with him, and looked around.
The waterway was full of ghosts.
STORY 4 PART 4
Of course the waterway was full of ghosts, their faces twisted in sadness or anger; lots of people had died in the Castle. Maybe they were trying to look for their way back? As he walked forward, their numbers increased, until he had to practically squeeze between them to proceed. Finally, he found the place where all the souls were looking up at the same spot. A hole in the ceiling. It seemed no soul could pass through it: a lot of them were frozen in mid-air reaching for it, and Tsukumojuku used that fact to climb them like a makeshift ladder. [Sure.]
Once he climbed out, he noticed a rope ladder, that this âSeiryoinâ had probably been using to exit the Castle. If he really was the culprit of the Geneijo case, and these souls were the victims, then itâs kinda weird they didnât do anything to him.
Tsukumojuku wandered the Castleâs cramped passages for some time before hearing upset voices:
â...I don't knoooow! This makes no sense! Enough! Enough!â âCalm down, Abe.â âI'm serious! I want out of here, right now!â âStop crying, it's annoying! There's no reason for it! We're fine! Your assistant should be able to do something...â âHeâs not my assistant, heâs more like a little brother to me...â
Following the voices, Tsukumojuku opened the door to what looked like a giant chapel, with stone pillars and stained-glass windows. Above the altar, maybe 15m above the ground, a giant crucifix with a figure of Christ was suspended. There were about 20 men and women in the chapel, and one of them was someone very familiar to Tsukumojuku: Abe Atsushi, or Daibakusho Happy. (ćźćæŠ, or 性ççŹăăă)
[If just like me you have already forgotten who the hell was that -- itâs that private tutor from the First Story who couldnât teach for shit, constantly repeated the rakugo âDowryâ, and hanged out with little Tsutomu a lot.]
Tsukumojuku followed Abeâs horrified sight to see what this was all about. On the altar, there was a box with a woman's head inside. Her pale face had a red circle painted on the right cheek, and a blue circle on the left cheek. Her eyes were open, dark eyeliner and fake eyelashes applied. On the boxâs inner side was written the name âGeneijoâ in red, and the number â5â in blue. On the head's right side somebody had put a clown doll dressed in black.
Oh, and there were 42 other boxes.
Small or large, all rectangular, sometimes containing a head and sometimes half a body. All were decorated with colors, had some kind of toys inside, and were numbered.
Three boxes didn't have bodies: one was numbered â7âł (seventh column from the left) that happened to be next to another â7âł. â5âł (tenth column) was empty too, and also had another â5âł as a neighbour. A â1âł (2nd column)Â also had another â1âł next to it, but instead of being empty, it contained a hand made of clay. So, a double box number would distinguish the empty ones?
The 43 boxes all symbolized individual covers of the 1975-1999 issues of Geneijo, a detective novel magazine. The empty boxes corresponded to '75 July Extra Issue (with Edogawa Ranpo on the cover), and '76 May Special Issue (with Yokomizo Seishi). The box with black clay hands was the '78 New Year Special Issue.
[The next four pages are Tsukumojukuâs drawings of the boxes -- donât worry, you donât actually have to pay any attention to these for the plot, but Iâm putting them here just because.Â
Columns 1-2:
Columns 3-5:
Columns 6-8:
Columns 9-11:
â
Among them Tsukumojuku found Ryoukoâs head, wrapped in pink scarf, with lips painted pink. (He hoped the white rose in the box would be, as stupid as it sounded, a bit of a comfort to her lost soul... though her soul was still stuck behind that bookshelf.)Â
He quickly understood the reason why the criminal had used 12 bodies from outside the Castle. During its first year being in circulation, the Geneijo magazine was published by a company called Geneisha, which eventually bankrupted. The magazine was from then on published by a new company called just Geneijo. So the first year issues, from February '75 to January '76, were âfrom outside Geneijoâ -- from outside the Castle. And so were the victims.
- - -
Tsukumojuku approached the group of people, and told Abe that he was Tsutomu's older brother. Abe recognized him (âOh, itâs you! You alright? How did you get here? Does Tsutomu know youâre here?â) Tsukumojuku told them about the waterway entrance, and everyone cheered, for some reason shouting ïżœïżœïżœKick-kick-kick, four-dimensional kickâ in happiness. A tall man thanked Tsukumojuku for coming, said that everyone in the chapel was an entertainment group [as in actors] called the Angel Bunnies, and asked for his name.
âIâm the Great Detective Tsukumojuku.â
The cheering stopped abruptly.
"What the fuck?!â Abe yelled in tears. âThat's already the third Great Detective Tsukumojuku! I don't understand anything! Is the world made out of Tsukumojukus?!â
The tall man tried to console Abe saying that it was all fine, they could leave now -- but Tsukumojuku quickly said that actually, they couldn't leave yet, since the criminal may be among them.
âBut,â he said, âI can guarantee that the case will be solved in the next 30 minutes!â Just in time to get back home for lunch. âSo please be patient and--â
âBut that's exactly what the other Tsukumojuku sa-a-aid...!â Abe was completely hysterical, so Tsukumojuku asked everyone else to look away and took off the sunglasses. Now that the nuisance was temporarily gone (along with two other people too curious for their own good who also had looked his way), he put the glasses back on.
The tall man was like âoh shit, that really is the Great Detective Tsukumojuku, what's with the unnatural beauty and allâ. Huh? So that other âTsukumojukuâ was just as beautiful as him?
- - -
The Angel Bunnies introduced themselves to Tsukumojuku. [You donât have to remember these names at all, donât worry.]
The name of the tall man was Fukushima Manabu (çŠćł¶ćŠ). People who had fainted alongside Abe were Kawabe Keisuke (æČłèŸșæ”ä») and Nakai Sayaka (äžäșçŽäčéŠ).
Other members, men: Kawai Kazuhiro (æČłćäžæŽ), Hongou Takeshi (æŹé·é棫), Tanaka Masatsugu (ç°äžæŁćŁ), Kumono Takuya (éČéć·§äč), Hoshino Masato (æéçäșș), Aoyama Gen (éć±±ć
), Furutaka Masayuki (ć€é«é
äč).
Other members, women: Mizoroki Fumie (æșćæšææ), Kajiwara Ayako (æą¶ćäșçąć), Nomura Rie (éæăă), Obata Aki (ć°ŸçäșçŽ), Nonaka Mami (éäžéș»çŸ), Yoshida Yukino (ćç°ç±èČŽäč), Iwai Yumi (ćČ©äșăăż).
A total of 19 people. There were 20 of them once, but unfortunately Higashimoto Mika (æ±ć
çŸäœł) was currently stuffed in the box symbolizing the November '76 issue of Geneijo.
As for what they were doing there: apparently Tsutomu (now Great Detective Daibakusho Curry) had been invited to the Castle party. He and Abe were a part of the Angel Bunnies, so when he got the invitation to the Castle, everyone went together with him to have some fun.
Needless to say, it wasnât fun. Among other casualties, Seiryoin Ryusui vanished without a trace the very first day. Other weird shit was going on too. Apparently some actual JDC members had appeared out of nowhere: Ajiro Souji, Hikimiya Yuuya (æ°·ć§«ćźźćčœćŒ„), and the Detective God Tsukumo Juku himself. The rumor was that they had come to protest the publishing of Seiryoin's JDC books, and that Tsutomu / Daibakusho Curry was secretly cooperating with them.
Three JDC detectives... each with his own method of reasoning. Ajiro Souji would ponder the topic endlessly, Detective God would wait patiently and gather evidence that showed up with time, and Hikimiya was mostly there to write the data down. Apparently this now meant that Ajiro was worrying himself with Geneijo on a break from his usual telephone detective stuff. Detective God mostly closed himself in his room and napped [probably because why bother when the evidence hadnât showed up yet?]. Hikimiya was running around and calculate many weird things like how many chairs and bed there was on the first floor (the same that the number of pages in Seiryoinâs Cosmic, apparently), the number of windows (99, like the number of chapters in Joker), and how much space the carpet took (the same as all the illustrations, table of contents etc. in Carnival.)
Hikimiya was now busy reading through the entirety of the library, counting how many times individual characters show up, or some weird specific shit like that. (...Tsutomuâs cooperation probably meant he was taking care of poor Hikimiya while he was working. Tsutomu was just the kind of person whoâd want to take care of others.)
- - -
Since the Angel Bunnies had no idea what the hell the Geneijo magazine even was, Tsukumojuku explained.
Geneijo was called that after Edogawa Ranpo's famous essay. The same essayâs name was also given to the mysterious castle showing up in Seiryoin's book -- in these books, the Castleâs owner was even called Hirai Tarou, which happens to be Edogawa Ranpo's true name. In Joker, a serial killer called the Artist killed a whole lot of people in Geneijo, and the JDC detectives had to stop him... but of course, that was just a story. To make things even more meta, in the JDC books there actually appeared a character called âSeiryoin Ryusuiâ who was simultaneously writing the JDC books.
Just a story... But the JDC detectives had appeared in reality now, as the Angel Bunnies pointed out. But maybe they were just cosplayers, who would made up things using words and numbers -- anagrams, math puzzles, word plays and so on. If you kept doing this long enough, one thing would always lead to another. For example,letâs say we want to connect âwordsâ and ânumbersâ. If you moved the voiced consonant in âkotobaâ (word) from end to beginning you'd get âgotohaâ which you can write down as âäșăšăŻâ which has the number 5 in it, isnât it just amazing?
Or that the word âsuujiâ (numbers, æ°ć) would also be read âsuujiâ when written as ćŽèŸ, and if you now swapped the second kanji in that for same-reading è©, you'd get ïżœïżœïżœé«ăȘè© (a sublime word?) which are æŹç©ăźèšè (real words). Words within words. Words without unnecessary decorations. (äœèšăȘèŁ
éŁŸăźăȘăèšè). Words by themselves, to sum it up.
[Iâm equally confused by the word play onslaught, donât worry.]
There were a whole lot of these word games, and obviously some common theme would always crop up if you banged one concept into the other hard enough. These puns and anagrams were the essence of the JDC series, so naturally, it wouldnât be strange that these âhardcore JDC cosplayersâ would also love them.

In an attempt to solve the mystery, Tsukumojuku then took Ryoukoâs head out of her box and using a knife carefully cut off her face to make a mask, which caused the horrified Angel Bunnies to run away to the other side of the chapel because what the actual fuck, dude. Tsukumojuku put the makeshift mask on, and just like when putting on her skin, Ryoukoâs memories instantly attacked his brain. They were so strong he fell on the floor in convulsions, and actually broke three ribs in the proccess. Too many memories, way too much information, too great of an impact, and then suddenly â the memory from just before death.
Chofu, near the river, late at night. Somebody trying to catch Ryouko â it's Serika, wearing Okubo's hands like gloves. Ryouko ran, but was caught and tackled to the ground. Serika sat on her chest, and yelled for someone to keep her legs down!â. A man with long black hair and glasses -- Seiryoin.
Mystery solved. In Geneijo, Seiryoin was God.
And as he took the mask off, that Godâs âAngelsâ -- Ajiro, Hikimiya and JDCâs own Tsukumo Juku -- entered the chapel along with Tsutomu.

IMPRESSIONS:
*Maijo voice* how many layers of meta are you on? youâre like a little baby, watch this
Jesus, just how many tiny kanji can you fit on all these diagrams, Tsukumojuku? Good thing the details donât really seem to matter in the grand scheme of things, at least as far as Iâve read, so I donât have to translate this mess.
I love the scene with the ghosts. The soul ladder reminded me of the Kars ladder from Jorge Joestar, for some reason.
I donât know if this is the intentional reading here, but I love the idea that the Detective God would just chill out in his room while shit is going on because he knows how mystery novels work and that the caseâs not gonna get solved before the writer wills it. âGonna take a nap, wake me up once the scared witness gets shot just before revealing the killerâs name.â
In the JDC series, Hikimiya Yuuya specializes in crime statistics and such, which requires him to always carry a laptop he can calculate data with. He loves quoting mystery novels whenever he can. While working as an assisstant to such great detectives like the Detective God or Ryuuguu Jounosuke, he has some complexes about his own power of reasoning. Not a very remarkable guy, at least on first sight.
