Nakahama

"I don't know. He is pretty cute." he grinned. "But, he does recognize great beauty and I'd be a fool to let him win so easily."

He nodded. "Music has been a significant aspect of every version of the show. As the Detective's on set trainer, I have to coordinate our movements. But, some things he does entirely on his own, like trying to make me jealous."

The Detective hugged her neck and gently kissed her cheek.

Kiyoshi moved closer, encouraging the Detective to move move over. He was notably slower and gentler when he transferred over to Haruhi, in contrast to the way he liked to climb all over the Fox.

"He would love that." The Kitsune gestured to the monkey and the Detective scampered onto the dancefloor leaping onto Kiyoshi's shoulder.

"Oh! I've been meaning to dine there. But, it isn't the Detective's kind of place." he said. "The resort can watch over him, however, while we have dinner. That would be very nice."

"The perks of being a celebrity." he shrugged. "The view of the jungle is magnificent. And, the privacy is very nice."

He laughed. "You deserve happiness too, Kakita-san. There's nothing wrong with indulging yourself when you can. Come visit me at Natsuzora Ryokan. I'll treat you to a spa day."

"I wish the incantation allowed me to include others." he said with sympathy. "But, you did a great thing for them. You gave them their new safety and happiness."

"I am sure we can find a proper jungle escort." he agreed. "As for Nakahama by Night, you make a very tempting offer."

He grinned and danced. It wasn't a performance, for an audience of fans. It was joy, in the moment, with the music, for her.

'Perhaps I'll be able to help with that. We may be able to finally explore the jungle." he offered.

Standing, he moved towards the dance floor and held out a hand. "Would you care to dance?"

"Good evening, Kitsune-san. Detective-san. How are you doing? Have you thought about what you will do next? Any chance you are planning to linger here?"

He couldn't help but stare for a moment. Then, he smiled and bowed in greeting. The Detective bowed as well.

"It's likely. We are still ...

The Fox and his monkey were watching the floor from a premium booth. It was clear that anyone was welcome to join them.

As the evening hours came and the concert came to a close, Kiyoshi offered a few more favorites. This included the classic theme for the Detective 5 Heartbeats and another crowd pleaser Be With Me . He then closed as he usually did, with Mystery .

But, as the lights came down, and the other ...

Meanwhile, the Detective had begun to bring empty cups to Kiyoshi, who had begun to build a tower.

The Fox wasn't sure how helpful he could be. He knew nothing about drones. But, he came to assist where he could.

Kiyoshi stood his ground with the others, while the Detective cheered everyone on.

You can come sing now.

As some came forward, Kiyoshi stepped aside while they share their songs or stories. Then, he'd perform a few ore songs such as another classic, Fleeting Love , and one loved by many fans of Detective 5, Truth ~ A Great Detective of Love .
