The Witch Was a Little Unreliable

"How about it?"

Fujino leaned against the wall and said, "It seems like the two of them have made up, haven't they?"

"That's right."

Terumi Hoshino crossed her arms. "I'm actually quite interested in gossiping."

"Is that so? Looks like it's a happy ending."

"That..."

Terumi Hoshino then remembered her business, put on a straight face, and said nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, I've been feeling a bit strange lately, like some sasaeng fans are following me. Just in case... could you give me your contact information?"

"Someone is following you?"

Fujino narrowed his eyes and looked at Terumi Hoshino suspiciously.

"Yes... yes, that's right!"

Terumi Hoshino was a little embarrassed, a barely perceptible blush spreading across her usually aloof face. She nodded repeatedly, "After all, it's just in case."

"Oh well."

A poor acting performance couldn't fool the detective's keen insight. Fujino, sensing the intention, didn't expose him, after all, he was a valuable connection.

He pulled out his business card from his pocket and wrote a few words on it, "This is my personal number. If you have any trouble, you can ask me for help. Of course, it's also fine if you know someone who needs my help. There's a discount for acquaintances."

"Uh-huh!"

Her body language spoke volumes; Terumi Hoshino reached out and took the business card, glanced at the signature and phone number, and then put it away with satisfaction.

Compared to Kudo, Fujino seems easier to pursue, after all, one is just High School Detective and the other is a detective who takes on cases.

Then she felt a little regretful, perhaps because of her aloof image both on and off screen, no sasaeng fans bothered her...

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, she rummaged through her pockets and bag, took out a business card, and returned it to Fujino.

The farcical drama, with its interconnected plot, came to an end at 10 p. m.

Fujino received the commission from Kaoru Kusano, then drove home, ending his day's activities.

Although one side was about to kill the other, there was no deep-seated hatred between them; it was just a misunderstanding.

It wouldn't be worth it if one or two people died because of a misunderstanding, especially since Fujino still had a commission payment that hadn't been received...

However, the person who killed the actor and the actor have already made up.

Judging from this, his commission should be settled soon.

Fujino was quite satisfied with the trip. No one died, he received his commission, and he also discovered a valuable fan connection who could potentially become the next middleman.

More importantly, she wasn't attracted to his body!

That's truly remarkable!

Just as he was driving, speeding along the highway.

The cell phone suddenly rang.

Fujino took out his phone and immediately saw the contact name: [Witch Koizumi Akako].

"Miss Witch, are you still awake so late?"

Fujino answered the phone and asked Koizumi Kurenai curiously, "Have you found out something?"

Fujino figured that since she had called, she must have found out something.

It was quite unusual for Koizumi Akako to call him. After the last leak, the witch went back to check the files, and the two of them hadn't had any communication.

If something is really found out...

To be honest, he was quite curious.

"Of course I didn't sleep."

On the other end, Koizumi Akako, lying on the bed in her pajamas, said something quietly.

She hasn't slept before midnight these past few days, has she?

Besides going to school, she used all sorts of methods to research related information!

And yet they're still making sarcastic remarks...

"I have indeed found some information about your lineage."

Koizumi Akako said, "I didn't find out much more about that organization. It seems to have disappeared now, but that's normal, since we witches are almost extinct... The only useful information I found out is that they were an organization that opposed the Holy See."

Fujino thought for a moment and then said, "So we're on the same side?"

"Although we're not allies, we're not enemies."

Koizumi Akako murmured, "As for the traditions related to moonlight, there are many, but I found the most fitting one: the original moon goddess of ancient Italy— Minerva."

"The moon goddess, ancient Italy, and Minerva..."

Fujino murmured, then asked curiously, "What does this have to do with my heritage?"

"Of course it's relevant."

Koizumi Akako nodded seriously. "I think the meaning of the Child of Moonlight's that I predicted should be Minerva... Minerva is a goddess with a high degree of complexity. She was first worshipped in ancient Italy and Etruria, and later in Rome. She also echoes Athena, Mnemosyne, and Sulis from Celtic mythology."

Fearing the other party might not understand, Koizumi Akako explained, "She is the goddess of memory, and also the goddess of wisdom and the war of the moon. In the trinity within the same system, she is the goddess of the waning moon, the inheritor of memories. I also predicted that she is the Child of Moonlight. As the inheritor of the goddess of war, your combat power goes without saying. I have seen it with my own eyes."

She paused, then continued, "As for intelligence, you're a Great Detective, that goes without saying. Looking at it that way, it all fits perfectly."

"Is that so..."

Fujino gripped the steering wheel and smiled somewhat helplessly.

Why does this witch seem a bit like a con artist?

After thinking for a moment, he said, "But isn't that too vague?"

"It is indeed a bit of a stretch; we certainly can't be sure based on this alone."

Koizumi Akako then asked, "Among the people you know, are there mostly musicians, doctors, teachers, actors, and writers?"

Why ask someone you know?

Fujino was somewhat speechless. After recalling for a moment, he said, "I do know some people, such as Yoko Okino, Yuko Ikezawa, Minami Takayama, and Kaori Niina. I also know some doctors. As for teachers... of course I know them since I'm their student."

"Then that's it."

Koizumi Akako nodded. "Minerva was the god worshipped by musicians, doctors, teachers, actors, and writers in the ancient region. If you possess her lineage, then you should be close to these people."

"...?"

Fujino paused for a moment upon hearing this, glanced at the rearview mirror, and stepped on the brakes.

"I told you so!"

A sharp laugh rang out, and Koizumi Akako raised her head confidently.

Fujino's ears were tickled by the sharp voice, and he felt somewhat speechless. "But even if we know them, we don't only know them, right? This is too far-fetched, isn't it?"

Where can I find it?

Koizumi Akako pouted and tenderly touched the crystal ball with bandages on her lower abdomen. "Child of Moonlight, that is, the successor or child of the Moon Goddess. The great succession must refer to this. Moreover, if you were not the successor of the gods, my crystal ball and the cauldron would not have been damaged. Whether it was intentional or not, you would definitely have won their favor and recognition."

Fujino: "..."

Why does this witch seem a little frivolous?

Whose witch uses legendary myths and legends for analysis?

And their analysis was so logical and insightful!

Are you trying to tell fortunes?

If he hadn't known that he got his lottery ticket through Deep Blue, he would have really fallen for the witch's trick!

Compared to the witch, he felt this person was more like a pretentious charlatan!
