Journey To A Private Island
Ep 01
You are the leading detective who is highly respected throughout the land. You are capable of handling cases at lightning speed with your clever and effective mind.
Thus, I hope that you will give me the honor of welcoming you to the private party I am hosting.
If you agree, just put this invitation card on top of your mailbox, and someone will come to pick you up on Saturday, November 19, 2022.
I know your schedule is empty on that day. If you think this invitation is suspicious, you are allowed to bring one companion.
NB : this party is very closed, only attended by a few important people. You can enjoy time with your secret partner without fear of ruining your reputation.
Henry Brown
What secret couple? There's no one who likes me!
Henry Brown
This invitation is so annoying.
Henry threw the invitation he was reading onto the table. Then, Charles took and read it.
Charles Brock
Looks like this is the work of a prankster, I'm going to burn it.
Henry Brown
No! Don't! We have to put it on top of the mailbox.
Henry took the invitation back.
Charles Brock
What? Don't tell me you want to attend it?
Henry Brown
I don't want to, but I think I should come.
Henry Brown
After all this time, finally someone acknowledged my ability and became my fan, of course I had to meet him.
Charles Brock
You can't go, don't you see, this invitation is very suspicious?
Henry Brown
I know, everything he said is contrary to reality.
Henry Brown
I've never solved any cases, other than tracking down a person's whereabouts or their illicit relationships.
Henry Brown
People often think I'm a stalker, while he claims to be a fan? Bulshit.
Charles Brock
That's why you can't come.
Henry took a deep breath. His decision to go to the party was unanimous and could not be contested.
Ep 02
Charles Brock
I still think you better not go there.
Henry tidied up his coat nonchalantly.
Charles Brock
It's just weird. What kind of person invites without mentioning the time and location of the party?
Henry Brown
I don't know. But, if we read it again, this person really cares for me.
Henry Brown
He flatters me who rarely gets complimented, he even knows I don't have anything to do on Saturday.
Henry Brown
The note at the end of the invitation is clearly to satirize the cases that I have received so far.
Charles Brock
H-hey. It's scary.
Henry Brown
Every sentence is wrote with very careful consideration.
Henry Brown
We have to go if we want to find out who this person is.
Charles Brock
It's definitely going to be very dangerous.
Henry Brown
Do you feel it too? A hunch as if something big is about to happen!
Henry Brown
Calm. My detective instincts told me I'd be fine.
Henry Brown
After all, you are coming with me. That's more than enough to guarantee my safety, right?
Charles Brock
Nonetheless ...
Henry Brown
I myself doubted the seriousness of the invitation.
Henry Brown
It feels like being pranked. Look, we're all neat, but the promised pick-up hasn't come. *chuckles*
Right after Henry said that, they heard a car horn from outside the house.
They were both stunned, because the car out there was proof that this invitation was no joke.
Henry and Charles looked at each other and reassured each other.
Henry Brown
All right, we're all set, then we should go.
Once inside the car, Henry immediately approached the driver's ear.
Casually talk as they are an old friend.
Henry Brown
So, where are we going?
Driver
To the place the boss ordered.
Henry Brown
Where exactly? And who is your boss who invited us?
The driver glanced alternately at Henry and Charles through the rearview mirror.
Driver
Don't ask too many questions, you'll find out in time.
Driver
Sit quietly and just wait.
Henry Brown
Ch. Not exciting.
Ep 03
Henry threw himself into the seat behind the driver.
But, the quiet journey unsettles Henry to the point where he keeps looking at the map app on his phone to confirm their location.
Seeing the normal route only made him feel even worse.
Charles Brock
If you feel uncomfortable, should we just stop here?
Charles Brock
Hey, can we cancel our attendance?
The driver stopped the car in the middle of the road.
Driver
If you want to get off, get off now. Don't add to my work by driving you home.
Henry Brown
I'm alright, please drive us safely, uncle~
The driver grunted and continued on his way.
Henry Brown
(Humph. Not at all like picking up a guest of honor.)
Henry Brown
(The invitation looks more like a letter of challenge. Who could it probably?)
The more he thought about it, the more Henry couldn't guess who had invited him.
Henry Brown
(Is that someone I know?)
Henry thought of all the possibilities until it didn't feel like they had arrived at the port.
The car stopped in front of the entrance of one of the cruise ships.
Henry and Charles got out of the car. They saw somepeople walking into the ship.
Henry Brown
Are you also invited to the party? I didn't know that the party was being held on the boat.
Rufus Buck
Did I know?
*snort*
Rufus Buck
Damn it. I thought they were really only important people who invited, it turns out there are also young children.
Moira Bates
*bows slightly*
Rufus and Moria walked onto the ship, leaving Henry and Charles behind.
Henry nearly chokes on his own spit, when he realizes that the couple are the ones he's been investigating.
... in the case of infidelity.
Henry Brown
(R-really?! How come we are in the same party?)
*confused*
