Chapter 5: She looks female because he is handsome
The crowd was silent, shocked by the scene that had just taken place, the storm outside had stopped, revealing a melancholy orange sky. A few voices were beginning to rise.
"God...what have we done? Wasn't there a better solution?"
The detective adjusted his collar and turned to the crowd.
"Alas, that was the best solution. If we had waited longer, a disaster would have occurred. It seems unfair but this is our reality: whatever his origins, his experience, his intentions, an MC will always represent a threat to our society, even if he does nothing. "
"But that's too cruel... he didn't do anything to us.."
"That's where you're wrong, look!"
Everyone looked at the back of the cafe and was touched by what they saw. The MC's omelette was finally half eaten. Some put their hands to their mouths, all tears in their eyes. The detective stepped forward and gently took the plate, moving slowly and holding it with parental love.
"You are free now." He then threw it in a trash can. He finally turned back to the crowd.
"My mission is to make sure you're all safe, I won't stop fighting until the day we can all laugh without fearing the curse of the MC. With that, I give you my respects. Assistant, let's go, that was a perfect case."
"Aye Aye sir."
The two walked out to cheers from the audience.
"Hmmm all of this is making me hungry, I wonder where you're taking us."
"There is no social service written and you never reimburse."
"That's why I hired you, my generous friend."
"You know I gave up a scholarship to help you, right?"
"Wait! You guys..."
They turned around surprised and saw the blue-haired maid arriving, out of breath and holding a package in her hand.
"Here.... It costs more than 2 coins and it will give you more energy."
She then gave them the package, filled with sandwiches and cakes.
"Thank you very much miss, you can keep this half-piece, as a tribute to the memories of this adventure."
"Oh... okay... You were pretty cool there. Also a friend of mine wants to know how much you earn?"
"Don't be fooled miss, you're much better off away from him."
The two began chatting casually when the detective's gaze fixed on a strange figure. a person with a very feminine face, long black hair and a black jacket. His muscular chest stood out from behind a gray polo shirt testifying to his sex, he was a very handsome man, slightly taller than the detective, with bewitching emerald eyes, a look that seemed to pierce the mind of the person in front of him and tell him all about his life. The only problem was this sudden unpleasant feeling the detective felt.
"... When?"
The young man was only a few meters from the detective but where did he come from?
"How did I not notice him on this whole line?..."
It was as if he appeared in thin hair. Worse still, the assistant and the maid didn't seem to notice. He walked past the detective, the two looking into each other's eyes.
"Well done, detective."
As he spoke, the detective felt a shiver run through his body and his vision blurred, he jumped and his breathing was heavy as he looked down the road where the mysterious figure must have been, large beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Uh? Are you OK?"
"... Did he just Glitch?"
"Hm? who are you talking about?"
There was no one else in this street, the man was nowhere to be found. The maid thanked them again and went back to the cafe but before she disappeared, she turned around.
"I forgot to ask: what's your name?"
The detective adjusted his glasses, and, standing straight beside his assistant, he declared in a charming voice.
"I am a humble detective, helping people is my passion and poverty is my enemy. Wherever there is an MC I will be and the lives of innocent people I will protect. My name is Luc and I'm a detective."
A silence fell on the scene, the passers-by suddenly returning observed it with astonishment. His assistant was forced to reframe him.
"I think your name would have sufficed for Monsieur Luc."
"Uh? But you insisted that I always give my name at the end of a case."
"Yes so that the accused do not pretend that you are crazy to defend themselves, damn..."
The surprised servant gave them a smile.
"Well thank you Monsieur Luc and miss the assistant, see you soon."
She greeted them and returned to the cafe, under the last rays of the sun.
"By the way, my name is... Fiddlesticks! She left. It's always like that."
"Don't worry, it only makes your Legend bigger."
"Maybe next time you should add me in your intro?"
"For this case alone, I promise I will. Do you have everything?"
"I have informations but nothing concrete, if we want to catch him we will have to be clinical... Or is it surgical?"
She hands him a pile of paper out of nowhere. The detective watched them for a moment, then stared at the horizon.
"In this case, we will be the most clinical of surgeons. You won't escape me this time, MC of all MCs."
