Supreme In The Sheets [Oumasai]

6: Riddles intertwine to form the truth

„Now go where legs take you at night, where you've seen what you should forget, your friend keeps up with you not quite, leaving your body drenched in sweat."

Shuichi repeated the second verse of the 'song' in his head again, and immediately figured out what the writer was trying to tell him. "Kaito and I do training in the courtyard every night, and he never does as many push-ups as I do. That's gotta be it. But what does the line 'Where you've seen what you should forget' mean?" Shuichi continued to ponder as he pushed open the door from the school building and made his way out into the morning sun.The weather was ideal for sitting outside in the grass, but there was no sign of his classmates. As soon as he closed the door to the school behind him, Shuichi walked toward the Shrine of Judgement, in front of which was a small round intersection, from which the Ultimate Inventor and Robot Lab lay in one direction, while in the other direction lay the Ultimate Aikido Master Lab, and straight ahead the Shrine of Judgement. As soon as he reached the intersection, Shuichi looked around and spotted Miu sitting on the grass with flaming red cheeks.

"Hey, Miu," the black-haired detective greeted the inventor. Miu stood up and put her hands on her hips. "Well, Pooichi, have you solved the puzzle yet?" She grinned cheekily and waited for an answer from the detective. The latter blushed only slightly and averted his eyes.

"The one I shouldn't have seen was you and Keebo, right? The one time I saw you drag him from here to your Lab after we explored the Ultimate Aikido Master Lab. I followed you and saw you- ... pressing yourself against him and adding new features to him." Miu screamed out in embarrassment and waved it off. "Oh come on, I was just performing maintenance on him to make sure he didn't have any problems. I didn't do anything dirty to him, hehehe." The Inventor chuckled sheepishly. She seemed to enjoy the memory of the day anyway, though, as she purred to herself as she led Shuichi to her Lab. "Keebo is still doing a backup right now, but he can give you the next clue."

Miu pulled Shuichi along with her until they arrived at her lab. She unlocked the door and signaled the detective to enter.

Inside, Keebo was sitting on a couch where he had lain the last time Miu had screwed around on him. A few cables were stuck in various parts of his body, on his arm, back of the neck and hands.

"Hello, Shuichi!" the robot greeted in a friendly manner, its eyes shining and showing many different signals, apparently data was just being transferred in and out of it.

"Hello, Keebo. Do you happen to know where Ouma is? He left me a note saying he wanted to meet me, but somehow I feel like he's playing around with me." It was obvious that the detective wasn't having the most fun, so the robot quickly got to the point.

"Ouma has developed a puzzle that he wants you to solve in order to come to the conclusion of why he did this. My job is to analyze the school grounds and figure out which place is most likely to be where he is. So please excuse me for a moment." Keebo's eyes went white, and he seemed to be examining data from his memory.

Shuichi stood quietly at the entrance and waited while Miu sat down next to Keebo on the couch. From her perverted grin, it was quickly clear what she was after as soon as Shuichi had cleared the field.

"According to my analysis, Kokichi Ouma's Student Handbook was last logged into the Ultimate Entomologist Lab on the second floor."

As soon as Keebo had finished his sentence and his eyes returned to normal, Miu jumped up to wrap her arms around him. She pulled out the cables at the back of his head with a jerk, and Keebo groaned in surprise.

"But now I need your help, Keebilein," the Ultimate Inventor purred, stroking Keebo's chest with her finger. The robot blushed and averted his eyes. "Thanks to my new feature you built into me- ahem, that shouldn't be a problem."
