"Wuuu...!"
The engine roared, and the Idol Detective, who was driving, suddenly opened her eyes and looked ahead.
"Wah!"
"What happened? Don't tell me you fell asleep just now?"
The Gourmet Detective sitting beside her wore an equally terrified expression.
"Be careful! You're driving!"
"I know. I must have dozed off by accident."
The Idol Detective let out a nervous breath.
"Never mind. Let's talk about the case instead. The incidents that have recently occurred in March City, and the local police's inaction... What do you think?"
"It should be connected to people higher up."
"You mean the mayor?"
"Exactly. That's what I think, but for some reason, I feel the mayor was probably just being used."
"That's strange. I had the same feeling."
As they spoke, the two exchanged a glance. Then the Idol Detective gave the Gourmet Detective a puzzled look.
"What's that necklace around your neck?"
"Necklace?"
The Gourmet Detective reached out and touched his neck, then took out a pendant. It was engraved with a skull, a warhammer, and tentacles... Seeing this, the Idol Detective couldn't help but snort with laughter.
"What is that? You're already so old, yet you're still acting rebellious like a young person?"
"Huh? You're wearing one too."
"Eh? I am?"
The Idol Detective reached out and touched her neck, discovering that she was indeed wearing the same thing.
"Where did this come from? I don't remember it at all."
"Could we have bought them as souvenirs from some stall before we came here?"
"Souvenirs? Why would we buy something like this as a souvenir... Forget it. I'll keep it."
As she spoke, the Idol Detective put the pendant back on.
"You're not going to throw it away?"
"It's pretty good to keep it. Maybe it'll even save my life someday, though
