Tokyo: Remnants of the Deduction
The Blood was dry and The Cause is known

The Blood was dry and The Cause is known

The Door I took is still creaking,

...

I returned to the same position I was when I was about to take a seat on my Father's workspace,

I had the same vision and experienced the same slow motion thing again, from the moment I stopped the slow motion phase,

I ducked and luckily survived the bullet,

"What was that?!" Ares said to me out of nowhere,

Then he saw a blinking light across the building, he grabbed a one card and he had this killing intent and was serious about what's happening,

"How about saying Hi for me to God, Okay?" said to the flashing light across the street on top of the building,

His eyes turned red and throwed the card he was holding directly to it, the flashing light stopped.

Ares walked towards his workspace and grabbed a report, he then came back and gave me the report,

"That guy who tried to kill you, was the infamous, "Shoji"", said to me, I felt a little bit depress when he said that and also the line from the report that he killed almost 100 people, He is known as the Assassin of the Blinking Light,

He then returned to his workspace, he putted his left leg on the table and always does his normal shuffle card routine, by his shuffling, I got curious about his past and I want to pry into it, but it's forbidden,

"Akira-san, I have a sub-duty for you, Eto san will actually give you your first duty but since its a sub-duty, I want you to research on the Death of your Father," Ares commanded me,

From the term he used, it seems like he wanted to avenge my father's death,

"How is my Father that precious to you?" I asked him,

He looked down and thought about the question I asked him, he stopped shuffling the cards and putted back in his pocket,

"Well, He was the source of my "Greatness", I wanted him to live to see how our progress, am I right Sachiyuri and Ishtar-kun?" he answered my question as well as he included the two,

They nodded when they heared the progress line and I was a little bit astonished, and he returned to the shuffling cards routine,

When I looked around the workspace, I checked every drawers that my Father used to hide his documents and other stuff, and I found something that caught my attention,

"Nakiyama Keijiru, SS+ Criminal? Ability: False Perspective" said to myself,

I looked at the picture then I saw the same girl before the Incident, I felt grievance towards the girl, I stood up and walked towards Ares, I placed the document in his table.

"Nakiyama Keijiru's last crime, "The Immolation of the House of the Ambassador", I was there.", I said to Ares with my Vengeance,

"Wait, I remembered! her ability is so powerful that we didn't noticed that it's fake" replied to me with curiosity,

He then grabbed the document and quickly went on a full research about the incident,

Then someone opened the door and went inside the room, a man wearing glasses,

"Welcome back Eto-kun," Ares said to the Man at the door,

"Don't mind me Idiot, continue your work!" said to Ares while wiping his shoulders,

He looked into my eyes, He doesn't have this Aura of being a bad comrade or something, but he has this Aura of Courage

"Whom might you be?" asked me directly after wiping his shoulder,

He then inspects every aspects I have,

"Hmm. seems like you're Senpai's replacement.. well I must introduce myself" said to me with his free will,

"His name is Eto Nakajima, 27 y/o, Always follows his plans, His ability is: Tachi of the Obsidian Order," Ares said to me when Eto-san was about to answer,

He looked at Ares, he charged towards him and beat the heck out of him.

I went back to my workspace and checked every drawer again, I noticed something different, The Order of the Documents aren't the sorted,

Eto placed something on the table, It's an research paper,

"Go Investigate this for me, Ares-san will accompany you in your first duty" said to me, I humbly accepted the mission.

"Use this in case of things," He gave me a revolver,

"Wow, Thank you!" said to him,

He returned to his workspace and continued finishing what he has to finish,

I stood up, as well as Ares-san, and we walked outside. I contacted Mother and apparently she accepted me being a Detective or Investigator too, for now I will not contact my little sister, I don't want for her to be Included in this situation,

"Akira-san, I noticed something in the documents that you gave me," He said to me when we are walking,

"What is it?" I asked him about what he noticed,

He seems to be unconfident about what he will say

"Nakiyama claims that she wanted your love" said to me without sarcasm

I was flustered because it's my first time hearing someone saying that word, and also Nakiyama is the criminal who killed my father,

"Nah, Don't care enough, All in my hands is vengeance.", said to him without regret,

After a few walks, we arrived at the destination where we will do our investigation, the Incident of Tomfoolery. Reports claims that a Foolish Mafioso was taunting and haunting people in a building that these people died because of it's ways,

Ares checks his watch,

"It's time" said to me,

We went inside the building, the inside looks like it was abandoned, I could smell iron, seems like its still fresh, I checked the door right next to me and had a vision of when I entered the room, I got pierced by a blade attached to a chain,

"Akira-kun, don't go there, The right way is here" said to me and pointed out where the right way is located,

He walked in the way he pointed, and I just nodded and followed him.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

In the way, The Hall was scattered with blood and has this markings of gun shots, At the end of the Hall we encountered 9 Doors that could probably be a trap, I didn't had a "vision" when we reached this place, but Ares-san seems to be chill into this situation,

"Go check the first 3 doors on the right" said to me while chilling,

"Okay! Sir!" I responded

I went to the first door and saw 2 mutilated humans, I reported it to Ares and we lay down their bodies, put a blanket on top and payed our respects. we investigated the room and apparently we haven't found any clues,

"Damn, This bastard seems to be pain in the ass" Ares said it out of nowhere, seems to be angered to the foolish mafioso,

He grabbed the Playing cards he kept shuffling, he throwed it at the wall, some of the cards are stuck in the wall and some are on the floor, I looked at him and saw his face of depression

"What is the purpose of what you did?", asked him without considering,

He then look at me.

"The Purpose of throwing the deck is to know if the building is still stable", he answered the question, willing to survive in case of accidents.

He gets the cards and showed me are those cards, those cards are, an ace of spades, an three of hearts, and an queen of clubs..

"Check the rooms immediately! We only have 13 minutes to investigate and escape this building," said to me while holding those three cards,

I directly hurriedly checked the room, apparently the rooms does not contain anything important then someone screamed, I immediately rushed to Ares-san

"Someone needs our help!", said to him without hesitating,

He then rushed towards the room where the girl screamed, then we encountered it, A girl being the bomb,

"Help me!" said to us with her worrying face, she was so depressed that she doesn't even remembered what the mafioso looked like,

"Don't worry Little Miss, Were here!" Ares said to the girl,

He ran to her and checked the bomb that was strapped to her if there are detonators, It doesn't have one so I helped, He ordered me to check if the bomb has a button to defuse, I found one and I pushed it, A timer appeared in the bar, Ares-san immediately unstrapped the bomb and carried her, we rushed outside and when we got closed to the door, we got a little bit boost because of the bomb's timer ran out,

Outside, No damage was caused and we are fine, still okay. We rushed to the Agency to heal the Girl, she is badly wounded and hemorrhaging,

We arrived at the Agency,

"Mika-chan! Mika-chan!" Ares-san calling for this woman I didn't know,

"Yes!?" Mika-san responded to his calling, Then saw the girl badly wounded,

"Bring her to my room!" Mika ordered Ares,

Then Ares rushed to Mika-san's room, Mika seems to be the doctor or physician of the Agency itself, and i'm impressed, seeing this within my own eyes,

Hours have passed, I gave back the gun that Eto gave me and Mika-san is still taking care of the Girl, then Eto san gave me the report of our investigation. The Girl's name is Yukiko Kazuma, She was kidnapped by the "Foolish Mafioso" when she was walking from school to her home.

"Akira!" Ares san called me,

"Yes?!" I responded to his calling, still working on the Investigation that we had.

"If you don't know, We have our own Doctor here, specializing in any kind of things like I don't know, Her name is Mikayuchi Akiyama, And her Ability is: World of Cure, And... I don't know what does her ability looked like, even it's activation.", Ares informed me because he knows that I still haven't met anyone in the Agency,

The weather is we had is dark, and there a storm outside, and the process of researching is still on progress. in this matter, the report seems to be a little bit twisted, none still hasn't met the "Foolish Mafioso" itself, maybe its an organization or something. When I had a Vision on the building itself, It was an occasional setup. that chained blade launcher was an trap itself, not a mere mortal can make an trap like that,

Then someone came in, a man wearing a tuxedo and a fedora. It doesn't looked like a Mafioso. but I guess he's a colleague, He looked at me and asked Ares, Ares said i'm a Remnant of the Deduction, Kagura's Son and our new workmate, He seems to be fine with it, He walked towards me.

"Hey, I'm Achilles Aranokuji, my father wanted my name to be Achilles so yeah, you have grown up huh, When I first encounter you or met you, You were just a Baby" said to me when I was researching,

"Really?" hesitatedly replied to him,

"Yeah, You're Father and I been Friends, Best Friends for a long time," said to me,

Then he told me this story about his firse encounter with my dad, then after that. He gave a revolver, Dad wanted him to give this to me, Its called: Gates of Orion, a customised Spec and Winston Model 500. I appreciated the gift and thanked him. He told me he had these abilities called: Eye of Far Sight and Death Trigger which allows him to have an eyesight that ranges far and to fire a bullet directly at any range and any part of the body, on his perspective, he is the first one to have two abilities, and apparently those abilities aren't called abilites as it's name, It was called a "Curse", even if we had this abilities, we still suffer in some kind of depression and anxiety to these abilities...

I stood up, grabbed the revolver, putted in the drawer, and went outside the room, on other notes. the next room was a room like restaurant for us workers, Ares-san contacted the Military about the occasion. and I just seem to don't care, When I opened the door, a luxurious sight was seen before my eyes, It truly is an restaurant like room, Sachiyuri was there, eating pasta. She invited me to eat too but I guess I cannot decline her invitation, when I seated. some maid came and asked for what Food i'm going to eat.

"Steak and Fries?" said to the maid,

Then the maid went to the kitchen,

It seems weird for Sachiyuri to invite me like that, It was our first time to had this occasion I guess, the maid went back to me with my steak and fries, I kinda not used to eating something that aren't a Japanese dish but I guess I have no choice.

I took a bite and I almost had a foodgasm in it, well that's inappropriate, Sachiyuri took a handful of pasta and was in favor of letting me taste her dish, I cannot decline cause Sachiyuri is almost the most respected colleague we had, well... I insist and took the bite, It was great. The Flavor is still a little bit you know, lacks umami but I guess I can't help it.

"Akira-senpai!", called me,

"What is it?" responded to her call,

"I have this question that I been meaning to ask," said to me without hesitating,

"What is it?" replied to her and was a little bit curious,

"Do you have some sort of... you know.. Ideal Girl friend or Wife?" asked me,

Seems to be a relationship question but I guess I insist of answering her question,

"I don't, cause Ideals for me is an inverted wanting" answered her question with a quote that I really believed in,

"Is that so?", said to me while blushing, maybe it's some sort of affection or inspiration,

She finished her pasta, and went outside. I was left there with my steak and fries while reading a book. After minutes had passed, I went back to the room and continued read the book, Ares came to me,

"You should go home for now, Yukiko should be fine tomorrow, I had a notice from Mika that she was traumatized hardly that she turn to unconscious," Ares said to me,

I clearly wanted to sort things out but usually the new workers needs to be home at 6:00, so I head back...

On his way back home,

Mom is actually waiting for me, She said that by the time I get home, I'll get a commendation, usually there are falsehood around but when it comes to family, I actually believed them, I brought Dad's gift for me because I really wanted a gun ever since I was in Elementary, I don't know why Dad named this gun, "Gates of Orion" but actually, Its a good name for a revolver I guess.

Back in the Agency,

Eto reading a paper, with the title: Prediction Code: ATG. He read the description and continued to read the whole prediction.

>The Awakening of Time God must be successful, due to its power and full potential, If my son or my remnant falls to the other hand, The chances of winning the war is at 5% due to its full capability<

from a line in the Prediction Code, Eto became really serious when he read that, and so he gave it to Ares, Ares already knew about the Prediction Code but the whole thing, is what he doesn't know, He only knew was rumors about the completion of the Prediction Code, so he read it.

"Akira being the Time God?" said Ares, He became so clueless due to that sentence and Eto explained it to him,

"Akira has this curse called: "Unlimited Timeline" which is equal to a Time God. if its on full power and full potential, Akira would be unstoppable. but usually Akira was unable to control it," explained by Eto,

"If Akira has this curse then therefore he could have saved Kagura-san," said Ares,

Eto became super serious and really went to it,

"He cannot truly control it! In the Prediction Code, Kagura stated that Akira cannot truly comprehend the true power of the Curse!" explained by Eto,

Ares sighs and went on to full investigation on the prediction code,

Eto really had enough with mysteries so he walked out, he went to the next room and ordered a espresso, thinking out loud about the Prediction,

Sighs,

"Kagura-senpai, What is your true wish? Do you believe that you're prediction code will come true?" said by Eto,

Eto really means it due to his death,

If Akira can truly comprehend the true power and true potential of his ability/curse, he can revive his father but true consequences will happen.

...

Akira arrived at his House,

He was standing in the front door and thinking about what will the commendation's truly about, as he slowly turns the door knob, he had a vision of him getting shot, him getting arrested for illegal fire arms, him getting stabbed, him encountering Nakiyama and him killing a assassin, He stopped turning the knob and looked at his back,

He heard a gunshot,

From the time I looked at my back, Time turned to something similar to a snail and I saw the bullet will cross directly to me, I tried to dodge the bullet and the timespeed becomes somehow a little bit fast,

"No, I'm not gonna make this happen again!" said to myself,

Then time was back to normal, I got shot in the chest and was left breathing heavily, My last few moments is seeing Nakiyama standing in front of me,

"Don't worry Remnant-kun --" said to me, her voice is soft and always the same,

then I passed out and went back to the realm where I wait for the door,
