Next day after school, I headed to downtown with violet.
"So..we're heading to the downtown, to go to detective office, right?"
"Yeah. But I gotta tell you something.
I looked at violet curiously, wondering what she want to tell me.
"Detective Shana is good at working but she's a weird person. Hard to find out what she's thinking."
"Weird? Like How?"
"You'll see soon enough. But don't worry. she's not a bad person."
I still curious about how weird detective Shana is.
We and went to detective Shana's office. When violet opened the door, I met a blonde hair woman with glasses.
"Violet? I didn't expect that you come to visit here."
"My friend needs help from detective. So I came with her."
I thought that blonde woman was a detective, but after hearing their conversation makes me realize that I was wrong.
"This is Irina. Detective Shana's assistant."
I noticed she was also a demi human by sniffing her.
"Good afternoon. I didn't expect to meet another demi human."
"And I didn't expect violet has a fox friend."
I nodded and revealed my fox ears and tails. But she doesn't seems to sense my transform magic.
"Your right. I'm fox demi human. and you are..."
Irina revealed her cat ears and tail.
"I'm a cat girl."
I felt surprised by seeing Irina's idenity.
"Oh! So you're a cat...."
Violet suprised and shouted to me and Irina.
"Whoa! You can't reveal yourself in office! What if the human client visit here at this time?"
Irina spoke with calm voice.
"Relax kid. There's no problem if nobody saw this."
Irina Hide her cat ears and tail. I also quickly hide my fox ears and tail.
"You're right. I shouldn't reveal it like that. I'm sorry violet."
Violet's expression softens as hearing my word. Suddenly, a middle aged woman with a brown hair came in to the office. she was wearing a brown trench coat.
"Oh? A client?"
When she returned to the office, Irina smiled at her.
"Detective, your back."
I looked the woman who just came in to the office, I assumed she's the detective. Shana's face turned into charming smile by looking violet's face.
"Good afternoon violet, are you here to request a case?"
I answered instead.
"I'm the one who want to request it."
"Oh really?"
Shana stares at me with an interested face. I felt a bit nervous and flustered when Shana look at me with a charming smile. I introduced myself with telling my real name.
"Uuhh... yeah. my name is lumina."
I stammered a bit as she look at Shana.
"Lumina... That's a lovely name..."
I felt more embarrassed when Shana said her name is lovely.
"T-thanks..."
I muttered with a bit of flustered face.
"I can see you are not a teenager. right?"
As I expected, Shana noticed that I transform into teenager. Raccoons can sense transformation magic even that person is not a same tribes as her. I calm myself and answered.
"You're right. I'm an adult. I heard that you can sense transformation magic."
"Most of my tribes can do that. And your smell remind me a few fox client who visit here."
"Do I?"
"Yeah... Too bad they're not cutie like you."
"I... I see..."
I tried to keep calm and hide her flustered expression.
"Before you request, can I see your true form? I really wanted to see it."
I hesitate for a while before I answered.
"You want to see my true form?"
"So... are you going to show me or not?"
Irina interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Detective, I don't think that's a good idea."
"Why? Do you feel jealous if she have a huge chest than you?"
Shana poked Irina's chest. Irina's face turn into red.
"Th... That's not the reason.... I wanted to say is..."
"Hush now kitty. Right now, I'm interested at our client's real form."
Irina sighed and didn't say anymore. I felt nervous and a little bit. I know it's just revealing my adult form but I couldn't stop feeling nervous. But she already noticed I transformed into a teenager. So there's no use to keep staying as a teenager in front of her.
"O-okay... I'll show you my true form."
I transform into an adult form. Shana's eyes became widen by looking at my breast and stand up.
"Ohhh.... What a huge breast you got..."
I was shocked when Shana looked at my adult form and her reaction.
"H-hey! D-don't look at my chest..!"
I tried to cover my chest with my both hands
And suddenly I realized that I was wearing teenager clothes. Since I transformed into an adult, The clothes are tight on my body. Suddenly my shirt is tight around my body, since I transform into an adult.
'Crap... this shirt is getting tighter... it's digging into my skin.'
My big breast started to torn the shirt. The bottom of my pants are starting to tear into half. She smiled nonchalantly.
"I can see your outfit is starting to torning apart..."
I become more flustered when her shirt and pant started to tear apart, especially around her breast.
"This is getting embarrassing..!"
"Hurry! transform into teenager form right now!"
I surprised when suddenly Violet shouted at me.
"O-okay... I'll transform back into teenager form."
I quickly closed her eyes and focus to use transform magic and turn into teenager form, her clothes are back to normal fit. but it was half torned.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't transform into adult form in my current clothes.."
"Oh no darling, I'm the one who asked you to show your true form. I should be the one who should apolozise to you."
"I guess my clothes can't handle my adult form.."
Shana asked Irina.
"Irina, Check Lumina's cloth size and head to department store."
"Yes detective."
I suprised when Shana told Irina to buy clothes that can fit me.
"Wait. You don't have to buy clothes for me!"
"Oh... daring... I can't let you walk around with torned outfit... It'll break my heart."
Irina checked my body size.
"Uhh... okay... I understand..."
After Irina finished checking, She left the office. I felt relieved when Irina leave. Shana sat on the sofa and pointed at the sofa opposite one's own.
"Have a seat."
I sat on the sofa with violet where Shana pointed and faced with her.
"So you're here to request?"
"Yeah I'm here to request. I need your help to investigate my mother and aunt case."
"Go on sweetie. I'm listening."
I request about her unsolved murder case of her mother and aunt. Shana thought for a while. I waited patienty untill she open her mouth.
"I think I know that case..."
I suddenly feel suprised and a bit shocked when Shana said she know about the case.
"Really?"
"I heard the police suspected you and your older sister during the investigation. But You've been excluded from the list of suspects because you had an alibi."
"Yes. I'm glad they didn't seeing us as the culprit."
"Or maybe they will."
Shana, who turned to me with a serious toned voice. My eyes were wide open in surprise. Shana put pen and paper on front of the table.
"If you want me to investigate this case. Fill this client's investigation paper. And you can pay me after I found the culprit."
I picked the pen and wrote it. I was relieved that Shana accept to investigate my family's case.
"But don't expect too much. This case is not easy to solve."
I can see that by hearing the police still didn't find any clues. but I trusted Shana to solve it. I lowered my head with an impression.
"I understand. But I still wanted to find who killed them."
"I'm sorry for saying this darling. But I wanted to be honest. especially when there's a cute little fox girl like you. It makes me guilty to lie."
I couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable by Shana's word. I raised my head and looked at Shana.
"I appreciate your honesty… Don't apologies for saying the truth... I know… But I really don't care how difficult it is... I just want the truth... no matter what..."
"Oh daring.... You're very understanding..."
I don't know I can get used by called 'daring' from her. Violet noticed that I was showing uncomfortable look.
"Detective, can you please stop calling her daring?"
"You have to understand me Vi."
Violet's face was distorted.
"I told you to not call me Vi."
Shana still smiles.
"Oh... You're so cold Vi. But that's the reason why I like you."
After few seconds of bicker time between Shana and violet, Violet look at Shana with a stands up from sofa and head to the door.
"I'm getting out of here. I'll wait outside until you finish talking with her."
Violet quickly left the office. I stared for a few seconds at the door where Violet went out. I finished writing the paper and tried to leave.
"Lumina... Darling."
I was suddenly stopped by Shana's words. I looked back at Shana with a slightly puzzled look.
"Y… yes..?"
"I'm impressed that Vi is with someone."
"What do you mean?"
"Half months ago, Her mother told me about violet that she thinks Being alone is better than having a relationship with someone."
I didn't know that she thought like that. it would be sad if she still prefers being alone.
"And she also thought that every adult cannot be trusted."
When I heard that words, I couldn't believe it. She doesn't seem to hate me when I tell her that I'm an adult who transforms into a teenager.
"But when I heard about you last night, I started to feel vi is starting to trust adults."
"What did she said?"
"She said you're an angel fox without greed."
"She said that?"
I was in a daze. I never expected she was thinking me like that.
"An adult fox woman who didn't help for a huge return and not judging someone in a negative way just by looking at someone's face. that's what violet said."
I guess Violet said that because I refused to take elixir and didn't judge her by looking at her face. I was speechless.
"I hope Vi learns that not every adult cannot be trusted."
"I hope so too."
Few minutes later Irina came back with a shopping bag. There were white dress with a half-length skirt.
"I hope it suits you."
I took the clothes and quickly changed the outfit and put my torned clothes in a shopping bag and left the office.
I left the office. when I walked outside, violet who was waiting near the entrance, showed an uncomfortable face. She murmured, looking into the air.
"I really hate her when she call me vi or darling."
I noticed Violet showed a bit of an annoyed expression after hearing Shana's words. it's understandable.
"Hey violet."
When violet turned around and saw my outfit. her mouth falling open in shock.
"Violet? are you ok?"
"You look like and angel."
I choked on my own breath, my eyes wide with surprise.
"What are you saying? Just because I'm wearing this doesn't mean I'm an angel from heaven!"
"Oh yeah. you'll become a true angel if I put feather wings on your back."
I shake my head, a small smile tugging on my lips.
"Right. and if I find my missing golden halo, I could be able to return to heaven."
We looked at each other and laughed for a few seconds.
"I need some drink."
"Let's go to the convenience store. Drinks on me for introducing detective to me."
"Thank you."
We walked along to Convenience store. I notice the sky already turn into an orange color.
We entered a small convenience store. Violet was thinking about what to drink and saw canned coffee.
"Do you ever drink coffee at midnight?"
I remembered that I often took a coffee or energy drink at work if I had overtime.
I look at violet and nod slowly
"Yeah..I drank coffee at midnight lots of time when I have overtime at work. It keeps me awake and helps me focus."
"Well I hope you don't drink too much. It can harm your health."
I chuckled slightly and smile when she said that.
"Yeah. I know too much coffee will harm my health."
I pick one of the Canned soda.
"But now I quit my work, So I don't need to drink caffeine often anymore."
"Right..."
Violet bought a canned energy drink.
"But I need one. Today, I'm going to study until late at night."
I looked at the energy drink she chose.
"Whoa... I heard that this kind of energy drink has more caffeine than other energy drinks."
"Not strong to me."
Violet said like it's nothing. I hope she doesn't drink too much.
After I pay the money, we came out of the store. violet took a sip of canned energy drink.
"Why does my sister doesn't study properly like me? She said, 'I don't need to study, once I become an idol.'"
I remembered Violet's sister taylor robbed the store to earn money to go to an idol academy.
"I agree with that... I hope she learns a lesson in prison."
"Hey, I know taylor. She'll never recognize what she did was wrong."
I feel a bit sympathetic when she mentions how her sister think she doesn't need to study because she's going to be an idol.
"Yeah. your sister seems to be a bit rebellious."
I open the canned soda and drink a little. The soda taste a bit sweeter but also a bit sour.
I wave goodbye to violet and start walking back home. The sky turning from orange to darker color.
