Fumiyo's publicity stunt

Fumiyo teared up as she heard the news of Shiruka.

"Lies! Nobuto would never kill himself for such a dumb reason, let alone a completely unrelated person!" Fumiyo cried.

She spent the next few days curled up on her bed crying. When she calmed down, she decided to publicly give her opinion on the matter.

"I'm pissed everyone that claims Nobuto was murdered is labeled a heretic by the media. Wait, father's the superintendent. Let me see if they found evidence of murder," Fumiyo thought.

                                                                           ...

"What do you mean you couldn't find any evidence of murder!? No way Nobuto would do that himself!" Fumiyo yelled.

"We thoroughly conducted the investigation. Nobuto Shiragiku's fingerprints were the only ones found on the knife. Plus there were no eye witnesses or security cameras that saw anything. It's reasonable to come to the conclusion we did," the superintendent explained.

Fumiyo hung up in anger and ran to the bathroom.

"Alright, you want to half-ass the investigation? I'll show you what that does," Fumiyo growled as she grabbed some hair spray and some glue.

                                                                       ...

Everyone gasped as Fumiyo strutted down the street. She had styled her hair in a very inappropriate fashion and was carrying a sign that read, "Nobuto was murdered!"

"What the hell is this!?" an angry police officer yelled as he ran up to Fumiyo.

"Oh, I'm just spittin facts!" Fumiyo glared.

"NO! I meant your hair! What... PUT A DAMN HAT ON OR SOMETHING, THAT STYLE IS INCREDIBLY LEWD AND INAPPROPRIATE!" the officer yelled as he struggled to maintain his composure.

"OK, you take this then," Fumiyo growled as she gave the sign to the officer. 

"Next time don't half ass the murder investigation," Fumiyo huffed as she walked away.

                                                                           ...

The police station gasped as Fumiyo was marched in.

"What the hell did she do to her hair!?" an officer gasped

"Kyaah! I feel disgusted just looking at it," another one replied.

"Fumiyo-chan! You look erotic and sexier than usual! That hair style is a work of erotic art!" a flirtatious officer smiled.

"DON'T GOAD HER YOU IDIOT!" the superintendent snarled as he stared at Fumiyo.

"Dang, starin at your own daughter like that," Fumiyo glared.

"Fine her for public indecency, and have a barber cut her hair to short enough so she can't style it into scene from one of her degenerate novels!" the superintendent ordered.

                                                                           ...

"So why'd you do something dumb like this?" the stylist asked Fumiyo.

"I was mad they half assed the investigation on Nobuto's murder," Fumiyo pouted.

"They ruled it a suicide. Though I am kind of impressed you managed to recreate a scene from one of your novels in your hair all by yourself."

"It was murder. What pissess me off more is that the station where the murder occurred keeps heavily pushing the suicide narrative and demonizing Nobuto, his works, and his supporters. Compared to that, the hours I spent trying to shape my hair into a sex scene was nothing."

"I mean, he killed one of the city's most beloved female anchors."

"Just shut up and shave everything off," Fumiyo snarled.

"I can probably just fix your hair."

"The customer wants everything bald, like NO hair bald. Though make sure you don't ruin the sculpture, I want to use it for some more promotion."

Rather than argue, the stylist begrudgingly did as Fumiyo asked.

                                                                            ...

The stylist let out a sigh of relief as Fumiyo walked out the doors.

"Ugh, that bitch just wouldn't stop making the whole thing erotic. Worst of all, some tabloid filmed the whole thing. Now I'm gonna need to change my look and move away if I ever want to have a business again.

The officer gulped in shock as Fumyio approached him.

"Well, I had them literally give me their most extensive hair removal package. You happy?" Fumiyo pouted.

She was now completely devoid of hair, and was carrying the sculpture she had styled her hair into.

"You still have to pay the fine for public indecency, and at the very least cover up that... sculpture," the officer groaned.

"Put it on my tab. You'll be bringing me back to the station after I get some sick tattoos."

"Ugh, Nobuto was murdered."

"Good start, now reopen the investigation or I ink the most erotic shit I can think of on my head and face."

"How do I know you won't do that anyway?"

"If you reopen the investigation and find the proof, no lewd tattoos."

The officer regrettably phoned the superintendent as Fumiyo was surrounded by  paparazzi.

"Oh yeah, I guess this is also a good time to mention I've got a new novel coming out, inspired by Noubuto's latest and greatest work," Fumiyo announced.

"Miss Fumiyo, please tell us why you did that to your hair and how you feel about your new look!" a tabloid writer pleaded.

"Oh well, I did it to get your attention. So yeah, Nobuto was 100% murdered, I feel kinky without any hair, this sculpture took hours to pull off, but was worth it, and my next work will be called, Getting yaoi with the Yowie."

                                                                           ...

Fumiyo watched the news on her TV a night later.

"Breaking news, it turns out the police have come to a new conclusion regarding the Riho Amanuma murder case. They now rule that Nobuto "Shiruka" Shiragiku accidentally killed himself and Amanuma-san after a knife juggling trick went wrong. Now let me just say that is bullshit and everyone that came to that conclusion should resign immediately..."

"Not good enough, though better then before. Guess I'll be getting a semi-lewd tattoo on my head. It looks like Nobuto's publisher will at least publish the remaining chapters of Grouping of Ghosts weekly, though I guess it might be a while or a few years before the final volume comes out. A good chunk of people probably still think he's a murderer. But still, Nobuto. You didn't need to go above and beyond just for your erotic stalker,"Fumiyo said as she opened a drawer containing some manuscripts for a manga.

After Fumiyo told Shiruka about her new work, Shiruka met up and helped draw an erotic manga adaptation of her Getting yaoi with the Yowie novel.

"I've never finished something so fast in my life, but to think it would be with the only man I ever felt any romantic attraction to. Nobuto you baka," Fumiyo tearfully smiled.
