Thanks for the chapter️~
The scene where she spills the tea was hilarious XD
So evil! XD
And I liked the flashback A LOT !
Can't wait for the next chapter!

I loved this chapter! ️
Thank you so much~
Looking forward to the next one~

Thanks so much for the quick double update!
I loved these chapters so much~ It's always good to see the lovely couple together, I love their interactions and I adore the way you made their personalities
I'm really hoping for a happy ending and Please let her happy ending be with Seiya.
I'm hoping for it to be a suicide case or make the culprit someone other than them. T T
And I hope Shiho gets confident enough to tell him about what she's hiding and that he really won't mind. T T
Please don't let it be a tragedy even if it's in the tags, the tragedy happened in the past now it's time for them to be happy.
Looking forward to the next update!
Lots of love~

Hi! Thanks so much for updating ~
I love this fic so much
I read it long time ago, so glad I found it again and that you're back!
Please continue and keep updating
Lots of love~

Oh My God, when is the next update! I am so glad it had been edited though, I had a hard time reading it back then (but well, I was around 13-15yo, so I guess that's why). It is much more easier to read and understand now ( Well, it has been more or less 7-9 years..)

I am so in love with this whole story. I can't wait to see the ending you cooked up.

P.s. I am kinda confused on who killed Tenoh though...

From Seiya's part - it seems planned by Tenoh herself. But everything seemed so rushed (I meant about the situation itself) that it didn't feel planned. Tenoh wanted to rid of pandora's box away from all of them - her plan included the destruction of herself, shiho and seiya...

Is it possible that Tenoh had another motive for exposing Seiya's and Shiho's relationship? I have a feeling it has something to do with Tenoh's plan tbh. It seemed to be probable. According to this story's characterisation of Tenoh, she tends to destroy a lot of things in the name of the greater good or just 'the good' for her friends.

However...
What confuses me about it.. is probably how Tenoh died. Obviously an untraceable drug was used. But everyone made a huge fuss about her smiling while dead so instead of that being smtg that is imagined by the characters, it must be something that did happen.
And I can't remember where, but I remember a part where it was mentioned that the watch gun's sedative had a similar effect... So I am guessing that somehow contribute's to her murder or suicide.

The APAH pills were gone, who would have taken them? Seiya was mentioned in the past to have accidentally given it to Rei, which I assumed they got those back... From what I can tell, you have been implying those pills are somehow deadly to those who aren't suppose to take them... So I am guessing the APTX somehow guarded shinichi and shiho from whatever disastrous effect it has on others..

It was also dropped that Tenoh has been getting migraines recently before her death. Is it related to shinichi and shiho's condition? Or was it just migraines of her burn-out genius? If she took APAH would it have cured her of the migraines temporarily like it did shiho and shinichi?

I guess another perspective that I probably wanted to see was Kaioh's. I am sure that they are in a very steady relationship despite the rumours of Tenoh and Shiho, as it has been implied that instead of flirting, Tenoh has been 'advising' Shiho to leave Seiya. And the fact that Kaioh accepted Shiho as a teacher in her academy sort of sealed the fact that there was nothing much to the rumors of Tenoh and Shiho.

However... Kaioh's perspective on how Tenoh has been doing the few days before her death would be really enlightening I think. I am guessing you are probably giving her the limelight much later.

But anyway so far, everyone is suspecting Seiya and not Shiho. And Shiho has not shown that she could have done it, and have implied that it could have been her instead of Seiya (in an attempt to throw everyone off of Seiya).

I really think it's suicide. But, it is how it is done that confused me too (again) as if my memory served, a cup was toppled. If it was suicide, it could have done in a more ... obvious manner, no? Tenoh doesn't seem like someone who would have committed suicide, but at the same time, she would have done it if it was good for everyone (and I am guessing Kaioh is the main 'everyone' in this). Also - I doubt she would have involved anyone (makoto) in her attempt to do so.

But as I write this.. I remembered how Tenoh wanted to help all of them by destroying herself, shiho and seiya.

If she had staged her suicide to look like a murder, even if it's an untraceable drug - it would have definitely caused the suspicion to fall on Seiya and Shiho only - as among all of them only these two had the strongest motive, putting aside Chiba who had an alibi.

This would definitely destroyed both of them together with her - especially with the upcoming news of their relationship being revealed?

I am not sure. I feel like I am just rambling and I am so sorry coz I am a bit scatter-brained T-T But I really do love this story and hope that you update every week or so! If that is possible that is, but if it isn't that's okay too! I have waited longer periods of time for a story to be completed :D (dedicated fan - that is me)

And gosh, who does those fingerprints belong to?
what drug is actually used?

Yep still reading it, please continue. Im gathering dust waiting for you to update. I already waited for what felt like years...I can wait a few years more if youre finishing this. Thank you for your time and effort, I greatly appreciate your works.

I missed this. Thank you for the update, but please don't push yourself for us.

Thank you for still updating this! I'm curious as ever as to who the culprit of this case would be. This is becoming more and more interesting, as well as mysterious. Waiting for a new update as always!

Thankful that this fanfic is still updating after all of these years

I actually like this fic and don't apology for a fast update because that's what i want ... i feel like your bored and thinking about ditching this fic i hope am wrang ...and im waiting for the next update ;P

i hope you update it soon.
im always waiting for its update, such a great story, its really realistic

This starts now to be intresting.I hope we get a lot of drama between Shinichi and Shiho and he need to notice that everything is his fault. Ai was his girl and not Ran but he see it to late and act now like a big blind jerk.

Man Shinichi is such an asshole-_-
But really what me bother on this stoey are all this persons and names. Really to much of them.

I guess shiho is going to end with seiya in this fic and in encounter in Venice too. I have re read your all other fics although i have read them already before i didn't know they were from same writer. And it seems to me you don't ship co ai or Shinshi. You seem to see their relationship in a sibling kind of way. Cause in other fic of yours they haven't ended up together with each other. Same in encounter in venice and here they haven't even shared a kiss with each and here shinichi has confessed to her idk how many times they have had some sort of brief relationship too. I guess that's just infuriating if you would have been a shinichi shiho shipper it would have really awesome to read them. But when I read your fics I keep trying to get it just over with and be done with it. Cause I don't want to read seiya and shiho part. But you are really cruel by making us anticipate for something that isn't going to happen (shinichi and shiho) ever. I mean the part of relationship that you have mentioned in your these pics is really unique which isn't done by anyone, I wonder what it would be like when you actually write a fiction where they both end together or just die after uniting. But here it's just not the tragic love story but depressing a story where two chars which doesn't exist in same verse sieya and shiho are in so much...(just don't want to mention it) u get it i hope. Your work is awesome though trust me ots great bit i just don't like the way it's going to end. Don't take me in wrong way. I just like shinshi too much.
It's frustrating too read two long fics be stuck with for so long only to have a depressing ending. (It would be for me atleast) I guess you like ai and seiya too much. I just can't get what you are trying to give us. I mean if they aren't ending together it's same like DC. Maybe there's difference of shinichi actually having some feelings for her or god knows. Maybe you like tragic love stories but here they are just kind of sadistic. You should read may be some Shakespeare for those. Sigh ! Idk y but i keep hoping tere will be ending of ShinShi even though at the back of my mind i know it's almost impossible from how you shaped things out. At least there will be solution of the case at least which you have kept me hooked up to pretty far. Your mystery element is awesome.
Hmmn i request although idk you will or not a fic where shinichi and shiho unites with each other once you are done with your current works. I think you will recieve a great response for that. Cause your writing style and relationship display with characters display is too good. And the readers who have read your work will be delighted to read you shaoing co ai or shinichiShiho. You would many people's favorite author if you do that certainly woould be mine but not now where i keep reading your work grudgingly. Numb kid could beaten by you since in my opinion his work kiss of death for coai is the best one out there. But he lacks in mystery department or shinichi's deductive ability you on the other hand are too much awesome in that department but in you lack the coai or shinichi shiho department while he is unbeatable there. You two should right together haha XD. Well i have been rambling my heart
Great work loved it (grudgingly mystery and moments were too great) Waiting eagerly for case results in encounter in venice and ghost at twilight since ShinichiShiho department is dead to me and many others.
Hope you would see my request if you actually read this review haha.b

I have hooked with this for a long time and waiting for who the hell is culprit here. But the hell the updates takes so long i kepp loosing it and have to re read whple fic over and over. Idk how many times habe i read the this fic? Waiting for updates eagerly. I agree with shinichi tht seiya is the only one capability to do it and since he can also keep track of time by himself it would be plausible to assume he is the one. But I think somewhere even though i don't have points to back my explanation even if they are given here i have lost them, i think maybe maybe sieya is just protecting Shiho and she is the one who is murderer. Sieya is acting suspicious so tht he can divert attention from her to him. And Shinichi is too distracted to even consider shiho as a suspect. And idk why but i keep hoping for an breakdown from shinichi to happen in front shiho where she realizes his suffering and how he is been struggling for all these years from her mysterious disappearance and how he has created a fake image of her in his mind and in others too. How her departure has disturbed him. But hey that's just me. But i love your work except for the part of sieya shiho. I am all for shinishi. Xd hope you update soon ghost in twilight too.
