Taro Case File - Mystic eyes of retrocognition
Location: Fuyuki Park, Spectator's corner a.k.a za TREE
@Scallop@King Cosmos@Parallel Hearts




The Terror of London remerges.

A chilling presence looms at the back of Kotaro's spine.

Death's doorstep calls out for the detective's life.

Kotaro saw up close in personal the face of terror. Its killing intent was clear as day.

A demonic figure stood behind in the shape of a mustache-twirling caped phantom wearing a mask.

He froze.

In that brief moment, Kotaro's perceptions heighten having the dread feeling of being closer to death. His circuits were wide open, firing countless neurons to his mystic eyes. He takes a glimpse of his perpetrator before his final(?) moments. A sense of satisfaction knowing who this mystery assassin is, before he kicks the bucket. Even in the face of death, his curiosity and the search of answers always comes first.

it's rewind time

A mental image of a film-like tapestry rolls out in memory, the sound of its reel was heard and each strip contains Assassin's movement in the past as it plays out frame by frame like a total recall episode of a vintage motion picture in his mind.

A torrent of events flashes before his very eyes in an attempt to get some juicy deets from where this servant came from. Upon fast-forwarding to some events that didn't seem to interest him, The detective stumbles upon something beneficial in his probe on Assassin's manifestation.

it was the sight of a ticking clock and cog works spinning.
A blurred face of a woman carrying a briefcase and smoking apparatus in the other.
A summoning circle.
A hotel room filled with smoke somewhat similar to a rural setting.
Assassin talking to his master(?).


It's a vague memory etched in his mind, with their identities still intact but that's all he has to work with for now.

Alas, There's no way that he could react, nor dodge that attack at that speed.

And yet he lives with the intervention of another servant and the ludicrous enchanted speed of his Partner, Momotaro. Lunging forward by Caster's magic with the utmost precision to aid the vulnerable masters.

I guess math and physics really do save lives.

"It appears i'm not dead, hah! Bloody good show partner! and that heroic landing, mwah...brilliant!" the Detective can't believe it either. He applauds and steps back behind Saber, heeding his advice, knowing there was an assassination attempt on his dear life.

"Indeed," Kotaro nodded.

"The El-Classico match of Good vs Evil in the land of the rising sun. How their true nature manifests towards one another. You can tell their wavelengths are not sync, one seeks chaos; the other remaining: order. quite intriguing actual --Hey, wait a sec, Ehhhhhh? Where the hell did you come from!?"

The detective winced, a bit shook by the presence of tonight's host breathing down his back all of a sudden. It took a second for Kotaro to figure out who he was subconsciously agreeing to.

"Uh, would you mind" Retracting his shoulder with an involuntary jerk, Kotaro brushes off the magus grip ever so abruptly, keeping his personal space as it supposed to be, moving over to his right while peeking at the other side of the tree.

"You're a peculiar one aren't you, I couldn't decipher what your actual intentions are but I can tell you're some type of a scoundrel who takes the utmost pleasure in setting things in motion in your own twisted ways" starting with a slight conversation, Kotaro's insight is at work here. trying to grasp the magus besides him, like why is he such a douche, carefree and yet ever so deceitful?

And the minor illusion trick was way off. he had a hunch he is being played here. A simple trick to deceive the mind, that is if one is not akin to details.

The thought process and keen observation of Kotaro went something like this: The first sign was the use of a magic circuit. a gateway to magic for any magus. opening even the slightest indicates the increase of body temperature, which is a dead give away considering he just made contact with the detective. Second, that's not his servant's real sword. He should know. Saber has no capacity of retracting the girth of its edge, nor fall short to a short blade. His deduction: False perception is at work here.

The detective simply smirks, and briefly looks at William. knowing what elements he is dealing with here and tries to focus on the important things, like his surroundings.

It's bad enough Kotaro has to experience the intoxicating aroma of the Oni firsthand, barely escaping it but to deal with this illusionist's shenanigans is just too much for one night.

Knees weak, arms are heavy.. there's vomit on my trenchcoat now, Oni's scent-E.

Ever since that skimpy wearing horned-girl flew over me, I feel all woozy of a sudden.

Like somebody poured over my drink with all kinds of party hallucinogens in the world, corrupting my mind into madness.

Methinks this is as far as I go.

The detective comes to a complete halt before even reaching his partner.

He hid behind a tree from a safe distance, struggling to draw a bounded field to keep the others safe from the inevitable skirmish that is about to happen.

Kotaro deeply sighed, unwrapping a piece of candy to somehow calm the nerves while his eager partner went on ahead. This place was never intended humans now that mischievous servant has arrived.

Based on his observation, that stench was some sort of charm spell that affects within the range of that newly arrived servant was secreting and it would be foolish if he tries pursuing Momotaro.

"Oy, Saber, I'm afraid I can't continue pursuing you from where you stand.. looks like our first case is our toughest case yet.. hehe" He struggles to cough up a chuckle, trying to lighten the mood, mentally communicating with Saber.

"I'll try to be useful from outside, try to oversee and investigate what kind of setup that modern flower mage has here.." Kotaro's iris began to twitch as its color changes into something more vibrant.

"Just remember, be cautious with your surroundings.. do your little investigation in there and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth..Oh and one more thing, Try not to die before i do.. ya?"

There was utter silence.

A grin began to form from his lips as he could no longer keep the serious act. Kotaro's repressed smile began to crack and soon he burst out a hearty laugh that fills the confined room.

"Fuahahahaha! At ease, Saber of Peach, I know you mean well, no need to be formal about it.." He said waving his hand, dismissing Saber.

"Here have a Candy" Kotaro earnestly smiled and simply bolted out of his chair, handing a piece of delicious morsel to Saber's open palm.

"Aight, It's only fair that you get a briefing of what your master is like, or better yet your Partner. Saber, Momotaro." Kotaro clapped.

"The name's Kotaro Toshizo, I'm a detective, an individual who upholds the justice system, a buster of myths and is considered one of the good guys, that's kinda my whole shtick." The detective proudly smirks and continues.

"As for my motives for the grail war itself, To be blunt, It was more of satisfying my curiosity on my behalf. My apologies if that doesn't sound heroic." He shrugs.

"As for now, I'm a bit short-staffed, and you just happened to fill that position in.." He said munching down on a treat. "And to be honest, I think you're perfect for the job, a well-known demon slayer of your time." He said, pacing himself towards the edge, seeing the busy streets from high above the office window.

" from which era you came, the world hasn't much changed ever since. There are demons everywhere, vile fiends of which are good at hiding in plain sight, guising themselves as common folks, escaping the law's reach and it's our job to unravel them.." He said looking back at Saber.

"Also, it appears there's a message in the sky tonight.. quite peculiar actually and yet it intrigues me such a way. Come, Saber! grab a coat and let us investigate, It's also a good chance to see what Japan is like in this age and time first hand."

The game is afoot.

The Agency office is closed for tonight.

The doors are shut in tight, binders close and pieces of paper scattered everywhere on the floor. This place is a mess even for office standards.

Beneath the rubble of waste, paperwork, overdue bills and the smell of leftover process foods, A summoning circle was drawn beforehand.

Kotaro wakes up from a well-rested slumber, dropping a piece of chalk from his open hand from exhaustion. The young detective seems to have dozed off conserving his mana for something greater of a purpose. That or he just passed out from his absurd amount of sugar intake he had during the entire day.

Either way, Everything is according to plan™.

The caped magus' preparations are set. Everything is in motion, the wheel of fate has spun. Time for the truth to unravel.

Kotaro reaches out and utters the incantation with such conviction.

The circle slowly reacts to his calls. Etching a red symbol at the back of his hand, A burning sensation, like being branded as such.

A magical vortex builds up and sweeps the papers and everything in between in the room.

It was untamed..

Too.. much..pressure...even.

Kotaro was thrown off his feet and flung himself a few steps back, conveniently seated at his office chair to cushion the fall.

He struck an 'I've been expecting you' pose to lessen the shame. composing himself to an unknown guest, attempting to see the FRUITS of his labor.

"I believe introduction is necessary, make haste now.."
