Arc 3, Chapter 40: To My Detective Part I

Hotaru opened the door whilst Jotou sat on the bed. She kept watching till her crimson locks left the door, alongside her tail. However, her head poked back with a smile and a small wave.

Jotou reciprocated with a smirk and a wave before the door creaked shut. Jotou then turned to the floor taking a deep breath in and out.
