Tantei Gakuen Q Drabbles 51-55
Title: Best
Prompt: 04 First
Yukihara quickly sat down in the chair Kyuu had evacuated. She opened up the searches he had done and narrowed down the cases to one that would engage and challenge any member of DDS.
“That one!” she whispered to herself, a big grin stretching from ear to ear. “I’ll show everyone that Class Q isn’t as good a Class A!”
She shut the program down, clearing her search history (so there was no chance that any Class Q members would find out she searched) and walked confidently out of the room.
Yukihara would show everyone who was first in school.

Title: Beach
Prompt: 94 Solstice
“Ahhhh, it’s hot!” Kyuu complained, flopping back on the ground under an umbrella. Megu took a cold drink out of the cooler an placed it right on his exposed stomach. “AHHH! It’s cold!” he yelled, bolting right up. The drink landed on the beach blanket with a soft thud.
“Of course it’s hot,” Megu said, sipping at her own drink, “It is the first day of summer.”
“Mu, did you have to do that?” he asked, giving her a kicked puppy expression.
Carefully, she avoided eye contact so she would not feel guilty, “Yes. You were acting younger than Kazuma.”

Title: English
Prompt: 10 Years
The English teacher had seen many students pass through her classroom over the years, some were enthusiastic, some could care less about the language. Mostly, she saw students who tried to do as well as they needed to to pass the requirements but would never move beyond rote learning. They would be happy knowing the common phrases and responses but would never really think in the language.
Then there was Kyuu.
She was torn between laughing and crying when it came to him. He almost seemed to grasp the language and then would find a creative way to slaughter it.

Title: Experience
Prompt: 41 Shapes
Kinta knocked his head hard enough that all he could see for a half a minute or so were indistinct shapes around the room. After his vision cleared, he could see that he was alone in the room. Nor was he wearing pants.
He blinked, trying to recall what lead to his pantless state. It was at that moment he realized that he was lying partly under his bed which was why he had hit his head.
Then he remembered that the adults of the School had taken him out to celebrate his 20th birthday and he had gotten drunk.

Title: Nightmare
Prompt: 67 Snow
Ash fell gently to the ground like snow coating the bodies that were scattered on the ground. One of them moaned and pushed up from the ground. She looked around and noticed the people near her. On unsteady arms, she levered herself up and wobbled to one body and another, checking for signs of life.
They were all dead. Finally, she came upon the body of her uncle.
Swallowing hard, she checked him for a pulse. Nothing. Dead. They were all dead.
Yukihara shot out of bed in a cold sweat, swallowing a scream that had threatened to come out.
