Berry is happy that one of her books hit half a million views, so an extra chappy for you guys is zee result~

I'm not updating that book instead because it's my least favourite oddly enough =~=

Indigos flashed with sadness at the inspector's question "If my family hadn't known magic, I'm pretty sure that we would have had a more normal life" He replied softly. Maybe neither of his parents would have died and he'd have grown up with friends while going to school "My magic is mainly used for deceit, and I'm sick of lies" He breathed.

The inspector nodded in understanding, that was a good enough reason to hate anything "Well you're doing really well in being truthful" He praised, not really knowing what else to say in response. It didn't seem right for him to attempt to get Kaito to see magic in a different light, the boy knew magic better than he did after all.

Kaito flashed a grateful smile "Thanks, I try" His steps seemed a little more lighter after the praise. Ginzo grinned, the boy was the most truthful person that he's ever met.

They continued the rest of their trek within a comfortable silence, neither male feeling uncomfortable with the lack of words between them. When they reached the river, the inspector couldn't help but smirk at how Kaito rushed to it's clear waters and splashed a bit before filling up his bucket. It was in the odd times like this that Ginzo actually caught the boy acting his age, or sometimes even younger. The childish delight that crossed over Kaito's features when he'd played with the water made Ginzo feel pleased. Kaito deserved to act like a child whenever he wanted to.

Ginzo walked over and filled his own bucket as well before glancing over at the boy. Kaito's playing had ended while he wasn't looking, instead the boy was standing nearby, looking ready to go "You know..." He allowed his voice to trail off a bit before continuing "I really think that I've gained a good amount of strength these last few months" He noted, the activity really was good for building strength.

Indigos gleamed "Hopefully that strength will help you when you return to your original body" He replied. He couldn't help but wonder what condition Ginzo would be in when he turned back. Where would the extra mass come from? Shrinking was one thing, it was easier to destroy than to create, but growing? That seemed a little more dangerous. He'll need to create something that could multiply cells safely, which could take a while. He did not want to give Ginzo cancer after all "Any biological mass you gain is good mass" Kaito nodded before a wry smile tugged at his lips. Indigos gleamed mischievously "Maybe I'll try to fatten you up near the end" Or at least make Ginzo swallow a dangerous amount of vitamins, minerals, carbs, and proteins. Matter can't really build without substances to work with.

Ginzo squinted at Kaito's teasing tone, he felt like he was missing a few facts considering he didn't really understand what the boy was talking about "Can you explain?" He asked, not keen on gaining unhealthy weight. He worked in division 2, he needed to be fit enough to chase criminals.

Kaito hopped over a tree root, managing to not spill a single drop of water "Your body will need more materials to work with if it's to return to normal" He shrugged "Maybe it'll work without a hitch and you'll just end up really malnourished, or maybe not..." He frowned "Your body may also give out if it doesn't have enough to work with..." He didn't like that prospect. Maybe he could create a mega nutrient pill. It'd probably kill most people, but if Ginzo took the antidote shortly after, maybe the increased metabolism and growth would strengthen Ginzo's survival rate.

The inspector winced, that really didn't seem like a great way to go "Well then I'll continue to leave it all up to you" He breathed, Kaito really was putting in a lot of thought into the cure. It was something that he was immensely grateful for "I trust you to give me the greatest chance of survival" He glanced at Kaito, he really hoped the boy succeeded. He knew the boy well enough by now that Kaito would never forgive himself if he accidentally killed him.

"I'll do my best" Kaito affirmed, indigos blazing with determination. Ginzo truly believed him "I've got some theories already to somewhat fix your mass problem for when the time comes" He replied, now itching to get into the labs to start more tests. There was so much he still had to do, even excluding his new plans and ideas.

Ginzo snorted as he watched the boy pick up his pace, travelling a little faster and farther than him "You usually do" He breathed as Kaito swiftly left his line of sight. He smirked, Kaito was excitable about the strangest things. He glanced down at his own bucket, at least he now has one less trip to make today.

When he made it back to the house, Kaito was of course nowhere in sight. He figured that the boy was most likely down in that hidden underground lab of his. He didn't know how to enter said lab, but he at least knew that it was probably underground. He contemplated pestering Kaito about giving the lab better ventilation but though better of it. He wouldn't pester him about upgrades until they had a safe source of money. The boy's previous source was not safe in Ginzo's opinion. No, it was downright dangerous. Kaito was extremely lucky.

He really, really hoped with all of his might that Kaito would approve of the superintendent. He didn't really know any other people who had money that they could easily spare without suspicion. He'd been more interested in getting to know the people he worked with instead of those higher up in command. It had made more sense at the time, but now he was sort of regretting that he hadn't made more powerful allies.

Ginzo didn't really know what he'd do if Kaito insisted on continuing to sell himself for money, he truly didn't know.

Me: This was interesting to write~ Ginzo is being a worried dad~
