A/N: Aaaaaaah, it's just like in the anime where they have flowers in the background!! My friend told me that Elise's hand here is sexy and believe me, I did not intend that to happen.

Anyway, starting from chapter 15, details are gonna be important here. I'll try to make my updates 5-10 days after one chapter is release, though I've got stuffs that needs to be done in real life. Please understand.

Btw, I still can't make up my mind how should Fred address them but I'll let it stay as "-sama" as of now until readers vote if it's "-san" or "-sama".

Starting from my previous chapter, you guys need to pay attention because details are going to be crucial for future chapters.

Happy reading!!

"Thank you for the hospitality, Miss Hudson." Cecilia bows to the older woman as they were ushered out of the building. "And to Watson-san, thank you for agreeing to my selfish request. I will make use of everything I learned from you."

"No, it's my pleasure to teach Lady Winstein about writing. Her enthusiasm to learn is hard to resist." John says with small smile.

"And my brother says that my enthusiasm might annoy other people." Cecilia let out a small giggle before bowing again. "But really, I hope I wasn't causing you problems. I've already intruded your times all of a sudden due to my selfishness-"

"Oh please, not at all!" Miss Hudson tells her. "We rarely have guests like these, much less than noble people. Seeing you having a great time is a wonderful thing, Lady Winstein."

"Ufufufu. You are all wonderful people." The ravenette tells them with a smile before facing the brunette next to her. "Lady Elise, thank you for accompanying me!"

"It's my pleasure. I had fun seeing you enjoying yourself, Lady Cecilia." Elise smiled at her before patting her head. "Ara... it seems that Albert-nii-sama and Louis-nii-sama's head pats are starting to rub off on me..."

"Puppy..." Hudson and John sweat dropped upon seeing the happy aura of the younger noblewoman after she was patted on the head by Elise. The landlady then bowed to the brunette.

"Lady Moriarty, was Sherlock troubling you earlier? I'm sorry if he did something stupid and dragged you in his crazy experiment of his."

"Ahahaha. It was my own decision. And please don't worry, Miss Hudson, we just merely talked." She smiled in assurance before looking up at the floor where Sherlock resides. "Talked some interesting things..."

"How about I make a cure for your disease?"

Elise stared at Sherlock for a few seconds before blinking.

"...Pardon?"

"About your illness, how about I make a cure for it?"

She was at lost for words. Did this detective just tell her that he's willing to make a cure for her illness? This unknown disease that tormented her for years, if it weren't for William's hard work in creating a suppressant of sort to minimize the attacks and improve her condition a little?

She looked down on her lap. "A cure... for my disease...but, isn't William already researching how to create such cure? He spent years studying and... I mean, I want to cure my illness so I won't burden everyone again... But..."

"Why, if I may ask, Holmes-san?"

"Why, you ask..." He thought for a moment before grinning a little. "It's out of curiosity."
