“Just chase that shiny booty!” You believe the source of all that light is Ema’s ass! You make an informed guess unlike this guy!
“Shiny booty? Is that where all the light comes from? How’s that even possible?” This detective guy doesn’t agree with your assessment.
“Just go!” You stop kicking the air and get inside the car properly.
“Kobashi, don’t forget your seatbelt!” Vanessa reminds you despite being in a more precarious position. She’s still stuck in the window. You pull her in… “Guh!” She drops face first onto the seat then falls onto the bottom of the car.
“It appears you’ve deduced who I am.” The driver gets things going. You’re driving at moderate speed.
“Pfft, of course, I have.” You have no clue who this guy is. Better follow up on Vanessa’s advice and put your seatbelt on. “In case you lose her…” You put the funny radar on top of the car’s radio. “It’ll tell you her general direction.”
“Copy that.” He was about to ask what’s supposed to be on the screen, but he’s quick witted.
“I, for one, have no clue about your identity!” Vanessa raises her arm, pointing up from the bottom of the car. “Care to share?”
“I’m the other detective working on this case, people know me as Ihor.” So Ihor, huh? Funny name. “The delivery girl asked me to follow this girl's footsteps. Quite problematic when she doesn’t leave any.”
“He means Marcela.” You explain to Vanessa who’s still down. “You two met?”
“Briefly. She took a ride and left.” Ihor adjusts his hat as he continues driving. “She believes she figured out where our target is going, but wanted someone tracking her regardless. The delivery girl failed to mention this detour, so I don’t believe her assumption is reliable.”
“And that place is…?” Vanessa naturally wonders.
“…” Ihor just stays quiet.
“D-Don’t tell me you don’t know…?” Vanessa is dumbfounded to the max.
“A detective needs clues, ma’am. I’m short of any.” Ihor has no qualms admitting his shortcomings. “Some may say a trail is enough, and that’s what we’re pursuing.”
“She didn’t tell you…?” You assume Marcela was in a rush. “I need to contact her at once. But how?”
“Why don’t you use the item they gave us?” Ihor throws an idea. “I’d lend you mine, but I dropped it immediately and broke it.”
“…Is that why Marcela didn’t partner up with you?” You raise an eyebrow as you take the package from your pocket.
“…” Ihor remains silent.
“D-Don’t ignore me.” You don’t like this attitude. Whatever. You need to use this… box? A package within a package, great. “How do I open it…?”
