The Detective is Already Dead-Chapter 13: A girl’s monologue 2
Chapter 13: A girl’s monologue 2
Kimizuka had given me a new life as an ace detective.
I was no ordinary detective, either. I would be fighting pseudohumans.
...Yet I think I was nervous, somewhere in my mind.
Well, that's no surprise. I was a nobody before this. I couldn't possibly handle such a major role out of the blue. I needed someone else to acknowledge me as the detective, or I wouldn't make it as this new me.
The night I made my resolve to be reborn as someone new—I dreamed about the person who'd once fought the enemies of the world as a real ace detective.
In the dream, Siesta seemed to have a personality that was the complete opposite of mine.
I don't know whether she was really like that, but...from what Kimizuka had told me, I think it was probably about right.
She was logical, and I'm an intuitive type. Polar opposites.
In the dream, we had a huge fight, which turned physical, and it was a hideous, ugly mess.
But I won, in the end. (Well, it's technically possible that Siesta took the high road and withdrew, but I'm not going to try to find out. Mostly for the sake of my honor.) Ultimately, Siesta said she'd entrust Kimizuka to me. (I mean, it wasn't like we were fighting over him, but I'm not going to get into the details. Mostly for the sake of Siesta's honor.)
I'm kinda making it into a joke, but it meant so much to me.
Now I can become an ace detective in both name and fact. I can finally be somebody.
—But that also means I'm not allowed to fail.
I hated being nobody. I don't want to go back to when there was nothing. Anything but that darkness. Never again.
