We began to look for possibilities. Options that could help us save Rikka.

Haruka: Hey, Ayu-chan, what if we turn off the lights? Ms. Shinozaki won't be able to see, and she'll fall into the hole under the carpet. Since the hole leads to the sewers, she could escape!

Ayumu: But Blackflake will think she didn't come and will continue to search for her. And if he's smart enough, he'll notice the rumpled carpet, and he'll discover the hole. Blackflake will then go into the hole and catch up to Rikka.

Haruka: Oh... Well then, what if we trick him into THINKING he killed her?

Ayumu: Hmm? What do you mean?

Haruka: (Okay, this is a huge opportunity to impress Ayu-chan!) I mean, we should wait until the lights turn off. Then a few seconds before Blackflake shoots, we switch the bullet with something of the same shape, and she'll be alive!

Ayumu: That's good thinking, but what do we switch the bullet with?

Haruka: Oh, uh, I dunno... (Stupid! Think before you speak... But wait... Ayu-chan did praise me...) Let's see if there are any objects in the room shaped like a bullet... Oh, look! There's a bullet-shaped horn button!

Ayumu: It looks cut off from the rest of the car. I think it's from a 1955 Cadillac Eldorado.

In my past life, it seems I had a vast knowledge of automobiles.

Haruka: This house must be pretty old... Hey, Ayu-chan, tell me the fastest car in the world.

Ayumu: That's easy. The Hennessey Venom GT.

Haruka: Whoa. You must've been some kind of race car driver!

Ayumu: Haruka, I died at the age of 16...

Haruka: Yeah, I guess they don't let kids like us drive. Well, enough chitchat! The bullet-shaped button horn will hit Rikka's chest as the bullet was supposed to. Hopefully, she'll only get a big bruise and be unconscious for a while. And BAM! Fate averted.

Ayumu: Let's set time in motion.

We waited as the whole scene replayed. Then Blackflake and the backout happened. Finally, it was our turn.

Ayumu: Haruka, you're up!

Haruka: Alright, Let's do this!

She quickly switched the button horn with the bullet. Our little plan was a success as we set time back into motion. Rikka was unconscious but alive, and Blackflake happily left off. But before that, he called someone.

Blackflake: It's done.

Haruka: Hey, Ayu-chan, we should possess the phone. He might be talking to the man who is truly behind Ms. Shinozaki's death!

Ayumu: You may be correct.

And so, I possessed the phone. On the other side of the line was a man with a mask. He wore shades so I couldn't see his eyes, and apparently he had covered his head with a dark purple top hat.

?: Good, good. Did you tell her anything?

Blackflake: Nothin' at all, Mr. Amida, sir.

?: I'll see to it that you get your pay. For now, you are dismissed.

Blackflake: Have a good night, sir.

We got the phone number. And now it is time to visit this 'Mr. Amida' before we continue our previous mission. I want to know the answers to why Mr. Shirakawa was killed, but sometimes questions are more important than answers.

A/N: Sorry for the delay!

Raion: Takumi-sensei made us do intense workouts!

Tori: We had to battle huge monsters for 8 continuous hours!

Let me explain. I guess you could say me and my friends here are in the Fairy Tail realm. I'm a Fire Phoenix Slayer, Tori-chan is a Wind Raven Slayer, Raion-san is a Rock Panther Slayer, and Tori-chan's big brother Tobi-san is a Lightning Hydra Slayer. A lot of slayers, I know. Together, we train under Takumi-sensei in order to keep the world at peace. It's a lot of hard work, especially when you also have a FanFiction account with stories that need updating!

Peace out!
