Shuichi, I need your help. Can you spare me a minute?

[ Something must be going on, he's clearly too polite. Or maybe he's finally taking his amazon anxiety prime into consideration? We'll never know. That might be another mystery to solve. ]

[ You thought I had forgotten about this. WRONG. It's also Dad themed because I promised. One month it won't be Professor Layton, I swear. Not that there's any warning from Minato about this either. He just shoots him a text (probably in the middle of the night, again) that goes: ]

This one's quite easy, so there's a time limit. You have to reply within three minutes or there will be consequences. The son is 22 years old. His dad is as old as the son's age, plus half of his own age. How old is dad?

[ Am I late with this??? Timezones are confusing, man. Anyway, Minato waited until the very last moment to bother Shuichi with this. At the very least, if it's any consolation, he hits him up before midnight. ]

Hi.

[ What does Minato have for him this month?? Stay tuned! ]

[ Did they run into each other during Hatching Day festivities? Maybe they did. Maybe they did not. Whatever happened, Minato cannot be stopped and Shuichi is going to get a Hatching Day themed gift. Namely, this detective dragon plush toy because that's clearly how Shuichi would have looked like if he was a dragon. There's a note, too:

This month's puzzle is figuring out who gave you this. No time limit.

What are signatures. ]

[Shuichi will find a gift wrapped in a furoshiki in his mailbox. Inside will be a pair of blue mittens, some homemade red bean mochi and oolong tea leaves. The tea leaves gave off a hint of peppermint. A card is attached to the gift.]

Merry Christmas, Shuichi!

Sorry again for throwing you the last time you came by my home. If you're ever in need of a good pick me up, the tea has some rejuvenating properties to help with tiredness. ~ Naruhodou
