After a thorough process of cross examination and various theories, klein and Leonard were finally able to narrow down the area and found where the instigator behind the unusual deaths was in a house in West Borough.
Actually, technically, it was all Leonard's thinking and Klein just did the divination.
Whatever, Klein wasn't fit to be a detective anyways.
("Says the future ace detective of backlund."
"Actually, that detective work too he did with the help of divination.")
Although even with the combined forces of Leonard and Frye and Klein who was providing backup they had failed and the probably sequence 7 beyonder had successfully escaped. Well, at least they managed to stop the evil ritual the sequence 7 Beyonder was conducted.
"I cant help but feel that this lady looks a lot like Instigator Tris..." Klein sighed as he looked at the image he had been able to conjure up with the help of divination. "Could this be his sister?"
"I have another guess," Leonard said as he raised his hand.
"What is it?"
"That woman is Instigatir Tris!"
...What-
"So you mean to say that she was disguised as a female or disguised as a male?" Klein blinked confusedly, "No, it must definitely be a she since you went to her dreams and didn't find anything..."
"Then she just became a female then," Leonard shrugged casually like he wasn't just talking about a complete sex change which even the best doctors in researchers back on earth had failed to find even with the amount of trans people.
Of course, Leonard was this confident and bold in his claims and theories as Pallez had already told him about the secret of the witch potion, the sequence 7 to the Assassin and Instigator that Tris belonged to.
("Klein's innocence is slowly going away hehehe."
"Confused and flustered Klein is so cute!"
"Should I make him have a wet dream about us as females?"
"YOU ARE AN ABSOLITE GENUIS 3-081!"
"Anything for our fiance~")
That could explain many things. For example, why would the trail leading to Tris suddenly sever? Why couldn't they find any traces, even with divination? Perhaps because there was a fundamental change to their target! The only question was how he could change into a woman in such a short span of time. And it appeared to be rather simple… He had pretty decent looks after his transformation even. I mean, to be honest, she's pretty attractive… Klein thought, distracted.
Leonard nodded, "Yes, that's my theory. This can perfectly explain why Instigator Tris had seemed to vanish. It also fits with the strange fact that the upper echelons of the Demoness Sect are all female."
Klein felt his brain go numb.
"What you mean is that there are a considerable number of women in the upper echelons of the Demoness Sect that used to be men?" Frye asked. He didn't wait for an answer before saying, "That could be possible… Perhaps it's their, no, the unique characteristic of their potion."
Klein shivered a little as he listened. He felt that the potion of the Demoness Sect was a trap!
He was so so so sp glad that he chose the path of a Seer!
Wait... what if the Seer was loose this path?!
Would he turn into a female too-
He'd rather die!
I agree to lose my heterosexuality, but I refuse to give up to feminity!
Klein suddenly felt that this world was really dangerous!
Let's hope that a similar potion doesn't exist in the pathway of the Seer… No, definitely not. That is the pathway of the Demoness. Even the name of the potion sounds wrong. But I still don't know what the corresponding Sequence 1 to Seer is...
Klein subconsciously started praying to God. Not any certain one in specific as he had started getting the habit of not praying to the orthodox gods since he learned of the secret of the Amon family.
What if he prays to the goddess and then she finds out the connection between him and a member of the Amon family? Thankfully, he hadn't been able to pray to the goddess or other gods ever since he had came here in this world due to randomly getting sneezes and coughs whenever he tried to. He had never felt so thankful to his allergies before...
As he had seen the powers of prayers first hand through the help of the grey fog and Ms. Justice and The Hanged Man, he was knowledgeable about how even just once parying to any sort if orthodox or unorthodox god connected one to "Them" for an indefinite amount of time making it real hard for one to escape their eyes after praying even once.
After Klein was done trying to wrap his head around the entire gender change situation, he divined once more about Tris's... no, Trissy's location but was unfortunately blocked.
As expected of the Demoness Sect which has been active since the 4th epoch... klein sighed in his heart.
"Well, all we can do now is spread the word to the police and start investigating through the clothes and things Trissy left behind. Klein, you can go gone now, Frye can help me write the report back at Blackthorn Security Company." Leoanrs said as he once again turned back to his causal and easy demeanor and threw his hands behind his head.
He didn't want to make Klein stay back and accidentally earn the ire of Amon. Who knows what that angel would do to make Leonard digest his potion this time... thankfully he had calmed down after Leonard had advanced to sequence 7 and just gave him the direction to act like him if Leonard wanted to digest his nightmare potion. The old man had even said that imitating Amon's personality was the best way to digest the Nightmare potion in a day to day scenario... Leonard didn't fight back that fact as he himself knew what a nightmare Amon was... he would have really suited this sequence he couldn't help but think.
"Before you go, Klein can you tell me what you would do in this scenario if you were in charge?" Leomard asked in passing, after all, he couldn't forget about tutoring Klein about the beyonder world like Amon had tasked him to.
Klein creased his brows and thought for more than ten seconds.
"I'd first use divination to ascertain if the ritual would take effect soon. If the answer was negative, then I'd stick to observing and not approach. Then I'd notify the police department to deploy personnel around the area, as well as gather at least five cannons to bombard the entire building till wherever Trissy was hiding was leveled.
"She could either be blasted to death in the building, or attempt to flee amidst the cannon fire. This would easily expose her. Until then, I would station you and the rest at different spots…"
He got more and more excited as he continued. He felt that his idea was simple and effective, barbaric and decisive. It was very safe and very appropriate!
He was met with Leonard's judgemental stare.
"What." He pouted in self defense.
"Why are you talking like those annoying Machinary Hiveminds and Mandated Punishers?!" Leoanrd groaned loudly.
"They do their job like this?" Klein asked with twinkling eyes.
"Stop making that face as of you're going to join them any second now. You're basically committing blasphemy..." Leonard sighed, no wonder Amon liked Klein so much, both of them didn't hold any respected towards the gods...
[As expected of the fiance of that blasphemer...] Pallez sighed in Leonard's mind.
Klein chose to spend the night at his own home instead of Amon's as he was already quiet tired and only wanted to bury himself in sheets and sleep like a log, being with Amon would make him distracted... and yea...
"Klein? Welcome back, I thiugh you were going to spend the night at Amons'" Melissa said offhandedly. These days it was quiet common for Klein to spend the night at Amon's place without any sort of notice and the Moretti family was used to this. Actually, Melissa was even pressuring Klein to kove in with Amon already since it was horribly indecent to leave your fiance alone in the relatively conservative customs of Loen.
"No, just a long shift at work today." Klein sighed as he took off his coat and hat, "I'm hungry, did you guys save anything for me?"
"Yes, some lamb chops, vegetable stew and sticks of bread."
"Thank you, dear sis!"
Ah... these casual days of spending time with his siblings and fiance and coworkers everyday was the best...
("Have you done the preparations?"
"Yea!"
"So who's gonna go in the dream?"
"Of course its gonna be me-"
"No! Its gonna be me!"
"Me!"
"No- me!"
"Let's hold another Yu-Gi-Oh tournament!"
"I vote for UNO!"
"No! Pokemon!"
"That's cheating, you have the most broken pokemon cards in your deck!"
"Sounds like a you problem!")
Klein opened his dazed eyes as he was met with curly black hair, deep black eyes with a monocle on the right eye and a half smirk on the pale face with high cheekbones and broad forehead.
It was Amon!
Klein didn't hesitate to grab Amon and kiss him.
He pressed Amon against his chest as he deepened their kiss.
He felt something soft against his chest.
Wait...
What...
Now that he thought about it.. wasn't Amon's hair really long?
The face was more feminine too...
WHAT?!
