trucy beamed up at the clear sunny sky

'Woo! What a great day! It's perfect weather for sleuthing!'

Apollo raised a brow at her

'The weather matters for an investigation?'

'Don't some days just feel like "magic" days or "defense" days?'

Apollo thought for a moment, and decided to not argue

'Um, sure. Let's get started, shall we?'

'Right on! Show us your stuff, Apollo!'

she erged

'Um, what stuff?'

'Your voice training! This is the perfect place for it!'

apollo looked up to see crowds and crowds of people, and felt a sudden wash of anxiety flow in him, he shook his head rapidly 

'I did enough at home, thanks'

she nudged him playfully on his chest, 

'Aw, there's no need to be shy! Keep that up and you'll never make it on the big stage!'

'I'm happy in the courtroom, thank you. I am a lawyer'

'Then you're in luck, because it's lawyer weather today! Don't you just want to face the blue sky and shout, "Objection!"?'

she encouraged, apollo sighed as he gently took her hand, careful to not yank her

'Look, the weather has nothing to do with lawyers. Let's get going already!'

and with that, they both went off into the backstage hallway, their they saw someone they didn't expect to see

'Ah, Mr. Attorney'

apollo's eyes slightly widen at the sight of her, he then awkwardly cleared his throat

'Lamiroir! I'm sorry about today... I...'

she raised her hand as she shook her head

'There is nothing you need to apologize for. You were merely defending Machi'

trucy looked up at her a little concerned

'Um... Are you OK? Alone, I mean'

'Humans are blessed with five senses. Even robbed of one, we get by. ...Though it does make being a witness rather difficult'

'Speaking of "seeing", you knew who we were before we spotted you just now. And we weren't even talking'

Lamiroir eyes darted off slightly off out sight

'...I heard your footsteps several times the day before'

Trucy eyes widen, impressed by her hearing skills

'Oh... You must have great ears!'

"Ears that heard the crime taking place... Or so she claimed yesterday. ...But how?"

'We took a look at your performance again. It was even better the second time!'

he said, trying to lighten the mode, and also he was meaning to say that to her in the first place anyway, so he decided to take his chance, lamiroir nodded gratefully

'Thank you'

'That reminds me... That was an incredible illusion you pulled off!'

trucy complimented, lamiroir looked down at her

'Illusion...?'

'When you teleported from one stage to the other? Remember?'

Lamiroir put her hands together

'Ah, yes. Apparently, they hired a professional magician'

"Valant Gramarye..."

'I was wondering, do you think you could tell us how it was done?'

she shook her head

'...I'm afraid I cannot. Mr. Gramarye made me swear to never tell a soul'

apollo sighed

'I was afraid of that...'

'Hard to be a magician if you can't keep a secret, you know?'

she winked
