hm . . if so-——then i wish you luck on this investigation⸝ᅠdetective cheddar cheese cookie .
but if the culprit doesn ’ t seem to be around town square-——given that their crimes happen there yet the agency doesn ’ t hold an appearance of them-——then⸝ᅠthey could -
ᅠ
. . . there is nothing that can be done ,
I apologise , Linzer cookie .
The culprit has not been spotted
since their crimes in the town square
Im Afraid this Agency is a lot more . . Serious
If I did allow you to help,
both you and I would likely get in trouble .
ᅠ
- be anywhere BUT the town square itself .ᅠᅠeven though⸝ᅠyes⸝ᅠthe crimes were mostly held in the town square⸝ᅠhow come the culprint hasn ’ t been seen-——or⸝ᅠat least a glance of their features .ᐣ
. . i ’ m only proposing an assumption-——the culprit could -
ᅠ
ᅠ
of course⸝ᅠthe light of the novelist ’ s face towards solving crimes had never quite changed by the slightest-——quite like a fun part-time duty aside from her writing ideals .
ᅠ
ᅠ
hm-——another agency⸝ᅠyou say .ᐣᅠthe novelist repeated⸝ᅠher journal book placed as a thoughtful manner under her chin .
well⸝ᅠis there anyway i could help with the investigation .ᐣᅠlinzer tilted her head⸝ᅠher eyecings raising up a little .
ᅠ
Hm . . Cases are supposed to be kept confidential,
But Maybe a little chat wouldnt hurt . . .
Me and Macaroni Cookie got moved to a different Agency ,
so we’ve been mainly setting in ,
But we did have a case in the town square a while back ,

�� right .. ! then、i'll begin .. “
⠀⠀the cookie nods、bringing their conch up to their head — listening to the ocean sounds from within、eyecings closed.
“ this is a story of a mermaid that was cherished by the sea. “

ᅠ
ᅠ
“favorites”⸝ᅠyou say .ᐣ
ᅠ-——well then⸝ᅠtell me any fascinating tales about them⸝ᅠ young one⠀ׅ⎖
piqued by interest⸝ᅠthe writer sits down to peppermint ' s level-——her legs crossed⸝ᅠwhilst holding her pen and notebook to jot down important details .

⠀⠀the smaller cookie stares up at her、eagerly waiting for a reply. ⠀⠀⠀their expression was blank but、they seemed impatient、holding the conch they carried close.
⠀⠀⠀something in their eyecings seems to light up once they'd gotten a response.
“ yes ! “

hm . .
the writer ponders⸝ᅠher book placed beneath her mouth before clicking her pen on the other hand .
how about ... stories about mermaids or sirens .ᐣᅠgot any of those in your mind .ᐣ
a head tilt at the little one⸝ᅠgenuinely curious .
ᅠ
ᅠ
indeed i do⠀ׅ⎖ᅠi wouldn ’ t mind having to listen to your guardian days-——and if anything⸝ᅠi ’ d just like to keep note of such experiences for my writing⠀ׅ⎖
ᅠ
“ Ah! Well.. my memory might be a little.. fuzzy, but— I might be able to provide some stories from my guardian days if I.. may? You mostly write.. thrillers. Right? ”
ᅠ
well⸝ᅠi suppose it would save both of our time efficiently-——i wouldn ’ t mind⠀ׅ⎖
plus-——being able to stop a city from a LARGE - SCALE war .ᐣᅠnow that ’ s an interesting key take inspiration for future chapters⠀ׅ⎖
ᅠ
I've got quite the long story... if anything that was making headlines in recent time.
... But want to know how was I able to stop a city from being used as a foil to start a large-scale war?
Because that's one way of narrowing it down.
