Continuation of Chapter 20
Yuiki's POV
I punched the hospital bed in frustration. "Curse you, Shiki. Why didn't you tell me what you knew about this world before you were sent home? We're investigating this together, right?" I said. Maki shrugged. "Man, this is so annoying. I can't figure out what happened to us. I've barely even discovered any key factors about us being here." She paused for a moment and suddenly brightened up. "Hey, senpai. Have you tried to go on DCW Forums ever since you got here?" She asked. "Psssshawww, of course I did- wait, WHAT?!? That's a genius idea! Why didn't I think of it? Must be because I was around Shiki." I said. Maki sweat-dropped. She still has a grudge about him... She thought.
I turned on my phone and typed in the DCW website:

"What. The. Cupcake." I said. "This isn't happening." I shook my head. Maki shrugged. "I guess it doesn't work because we're in the DC world and it's not an anime here." She said. I started to say something, but then paused. Footsteps were heading our way. A few moments later, the curtain swung open. It was the doctor. "Shirohana-san, great news! You can leave the hospital this afternoon! You just need to come back next week to check your wounds and such." He said. I raised both of my hands up. "Banzai! Banzai! Thank you!" I said. The doctor sweat-dropped and left. Maki shook her head. "Sometimes, I wonder who you actually are, senpai." She said. "What?" I tilted my head slightly confused. Maki laughed. "Sometimes you personalities that change in a snap of a finger." I nodded. "I see..."
*Later in the afternoon.*
"I am SO glad to get out of there!" I said, walking down the street to Poirot's. My cell phone rang and I picked it up. "Hello?" A voice on the other side replied. "Yuiki-chan? Are you okay? I've heard that you've been attacked! Oh! It's Stella." She said. I smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just got out of the hospital. I'm going to check the SOC." I said. "Oh, okay! I have to go now, so see you later!" I voiced my agreement and hung up. I walked to the park, where I saw Officer Sato and Inspector Megure there. They spotted me and came over. "How are you?" Inspector Megure asked. "Just a little sore, but nothing can stop me from finding my attacker!" I said. Officer Sato and Inspector Megure frowned. "Sorry, Yuiki-kun, but you cannot participate on this case. This is too dangerous. You might get attacked again." I stared in disbelief. "I gave up my safety the moment I decided to solve my first case. Why?" I asked. Sato just frowned. "Sorry Yuiki-san, you can't solve this case." I sighed in defeat. "Okay. See you soon then." I said and left." I walked all the way to Poirot's and went in.
"Ara, Yuiki-chan, I haven't seen you in a long time." Asuza said. "I've heard you've been attacked yesterday, shouldn't you be in the hospital?" I sighed. "I just came out of the hospital. Is Amuro-kun here?" I asked. Asuza nodded. "He's here, I think he can take a break to talk with you-as always." She winked at me. [What kind of relationship did Yuiki have with Amuro Tooru? Ugh.] I thought as I sat down on the table by the window. Asuza put down a cake parfait and milk tea on the table. "And here's your usual. Oh! There's Amuro." Amuro walked over. "Hey, Yuiki-chan, how are you? I heard you were in the hospital yesterday." He sat down and watched me. I put aside my parfait for now and put my hands to my face and groaned. "How does word travel so fast? Gahhhhhh... I'm fine. I just came out I the hospital." I said and Amuro chuckled. "Cute as always." He said and I blushed lightly. [What? Why is he doing this to me?] Amuro grew serious. "Okay, seeing that you have no cold case files to investigate with me, you don't look like you came here to visit. What do you need?" I smirked and leaned closer to him. "I need a favour... Are you good with sneaky stuff?"
