A Kind Looking Man [Solo/Job/Plot]

Job Details:

What was in the world that the young black haired girl thought, she followed a stranger straight to his home and here she was; sitting on the chair while waiting for the man to brought tea. Noir was thankful as the man snapped her out from her attempt to kill the guards and couldn’t be more grateful as he brought her away from there. As she looked around the man’s home, she found nothing really stand out but somehow understand because he was renting a room at nearby inn in the city of Balbadd. It was just a place to stay for a while so there was no need to make it look fancy. After several minutes pass, the door opened and the girl who was watching the full moon turned her head to see the white haired man was bringing a tray with two cups of tea being placed on it, complete with the big pot, sugar and milk.

The man chuckled while seeing the young girl before reaching out to ruffle her smooth hair once more, he was amused by how Noir didn’t give any reaction beside then just watching him and stayed silent. Normally other people would slap his hand from doing so, but something about the golden eyed girl made it different and interesting. “So…” He sat on the chair across Noir’s and serve a cup of tea for the black haired girl; serving him one as well after that. “I assume you are wandering around that area before because you are interested to know about… the killer?” The white haired man sipped his tea and let out a light sigh while watching Noir’s reaction. She only nodded and fixed her gaze towards the man’s crimson eyes, couldn’t seem to unlock it because she was curious about something with his eyes. “Before I’d like to start discussing about it, I think it would be great to introduce ourselves first. My name is Klaus, what is your name, young missy?” With her usual flat tone, the magician said her name, “Noir.” But then paused herself for a second before asking, “What do you know about the murder?”

She was eager to know more and if there was anything useful that she got from the man, it would be surely helping her to track the Nightfall Phantom. Klaus smiled at the black haired girl, admiring at how the girl was so eager to attain more information about the murder. “From all the information I gained and all the evidence that I got, I have a speculation about the murderer thoughts.” He would sip his tea before continuing, “If you notice from how he keep the women he kill in their beautiful form, he must be someone who adore art. Specifically the art of beautiful murder and that is probably the reason why he picked someone who had his interest or at least is beautiful in his mind.”

Noir nodded at Klaus’ statement, so far she assumed about the same thing as well but as for now, she still didn’t know about how he choose the woman so she definitely need to dig in a little deeper. “Why are you interested about the Nightfall Phantom?” The black haired girl question made the man silent for a while but then he chuckled and ruffled the girl’s hair again; “Why are you interested? And, Nightfall Phantom, is that the killer’s title?” The man could notice a slight change on the black haired girl’s face, but he would pull his hand away and wait until Noir answered his question. She was not sure if she should tell the truth about how this murder might have a connection with her family’s death, so she tilted her head to the side a little bit before answering, “I seek justice for those poor flowers. And, maybe… I just heard about it from somewhere. Do you have more information?”

“Yes…” He chuckled darkly, “Yes, I have. I found out about the culprit…” His answer made Noir’s crimson eyes widened but he didn’t give her chance to response and asked her a question instead. “Do you know about the second victim’s sibling?” He asked playfully while waiting for the girl to response. The female magician tried to remember about the second victim, but it was a murder from the fake killer so what was the link? She did remember that the victim has an older brother who was not happy with his sister’s death, but something was strange indeed about him. He was upset with the death but something was not right… it was like he was faking his sadness, he was too sad and that made it looked fake. “He looked sad when I saw him being questioned by the guards.” Noir calmly stated, “But the murder of his sister is a little different from the first and the last one, no? I found a slight hesitation in the cut on her neck which was much more different from the other victim’s clean cut.”

The man seemed amused by what Noir knew and he clapped lightly, “I assume you are really goo d in finding some hint, aren’t you? I won’t ask on what kind of process you did to get such information but I think that is very helpful. You are even able to differentiate between the cut, plus, I agree with you.” Klaus would now stare deeply into Noir’s eyes, locking both of their crimson orbs together. “It was a sadness to not be able to be the one who put his own sister into such beautiful state; he was upset because someone else do it before him.” The black haired girl still was not sure about it, but she only stared when the man stood up before reaching out his hand. “It is late… I will walk you to your home, of you don’t mind, young missy.” His smile was charming, it was as bright as the moon but something was hidden inside his smile.

Lifting both of her hands up, Noir began to wave them, “I can go home by myself. Thank you for letting me stay here for a while, I am also grateful to hear some information from you, Mister Klaus.” But then without Noir noticed, the white haired man gripped her wrist and pulled it towards him only to give a soft peck on the back of her hand. “If it is what you want then… but please meet me tomorrow here at the same time, I would like to show you something if you are interested with it, Miss Noir.” The girl then nodded and bowed towards the man a little bit, “Understood, I will come again. Well then… Until we meet again…”

When the man waved to her, the girl would wave back and rushed to go back so she could get some rest. She would surely come again to Klaus’ place but she felt something emitting from the man himself, the strange thing was, she felt something empty from the man but she didn’t know why she could feel something like that. All that important was they were a step closer to the killer.
