A book where you, have the ability to control time. You being you, have already caught the eye of many organizations, all of which you turned down. Now you are stuck in a sticky situation, having to accept an offer, changing your motto of "I do my t...
It was a clear day, mainly peaceful in the agency, it was quiet too, made you have some time to yourself after writing the report about your last mission.
The sun was shining brightly through the glass, illuminating the dull room you were currently sat in. Maybe I should give my side of the room a make over... Is what you usually thought before getting reminded that you need to ask your boss if you can do that, so you'll just settle for decorating your desk for now.
Tick tock, tick tock
The clock ticked on and on while you sat on your chair, looking up at your ceiling blankly. You sighed, adjusting the way you sat. Why is it oddly peaceful today? I want something to happen! Just then it all came together, there was one person you didn't say good morning to today, and that was Dazai Osamu himself. The man wasn't in the office since the morning, you didn't bother to figure out why as he was probably in a river like most coworkers would tell Atsushi when Dazai wasn't in the office.
Atsushi and you were sent on a mission with Ranpo, you didn't completely understand why, but you guessed it was because Ranpo was one of the smartest people in the agency so it was about time you saw him in action.
The man was quite childish, despite being both older than you and Atsushi he still managed to keep his child-like demeanor without being humiliated.
The three of you were on a train on your way to your destination. You looked towards the black-haired detective, who seemed to be currently examining a marble in the sunlight.
"Hey, Ranpo-san." You captured his attention, he tilted his head towards you and Atsushi.
"Hm?" He hummed towards you in curiosity.
"What's the case exactly?" You asked, tilting your head.
"A murder." Ranpo answered you simply, a smile growing on his face.
You could hear Atsushi audibly gasp in the background. Atsushi, poor boy, how did he get himself into this world of violence? He seemed too pure.
"What kind of murder?" You pried.
"Patience, [Y/N], all in good time." Ranpo opened his emerald eyes to look into your [E/C] eyes with a childish grin once again.
Letting out a few frustrated grumbles, you waited until you arrived your destination with the bullet train.
Stepping into the crime scene, Atsushi quickly following after the two of you quickly, you saw the police near the river.
"So, officer, how's it going?" Ranpo asked, placing a firm hand on the police officer's shoulder.
"We followed the clues here, we predict that the body is here, in the river." The officer responded.
"Hrm..." Ranpo glanced at the water, nodding "That it is!"
"Hey, I think we got something!" The worker called out to the others, he seemed to be using a machine to tug the net upwards.
Slowly but surely, the net was pulled out of the water, it was definitely a person, you scanned the person as they slowly showed themselves. Shoes, pants, vest, button up shirt, Dazai— DAZAI?!
"Yoho!" Dazai greeted, smiling at the three of you.
"D-Dazai-san?" Atsushi's eyebrow twitched as he slumped on the spot.
"Oh, Atsushi-kun, [Y/N]-chan, Ranpo-san!" Dazai's smile got smaller as he waved, still upside down due to the net.
"What are you doing? To be specific, why are you in the water?" You questioned, rubbing the stem of your nose, an exasperated sigh escaping your lips shortly after.
"I was trying to drown!" Dazai grinned, then placed his hand under his chin "I couldn't find a lovely lady to commit suicide with, so I resulted to drowning!" You could practically see the sparkle in his confident smile.

"Of course you were." You sigh, rubbing the stem of your nose.
"AH!" Dazai was set free from the net, falling onto the ground harshly.
"When did the murder happen, mr.officer?" Ranpo questioned, shifting your attention back to the main reason you came here.
"Around six in the morning." The officer replied, the scoffed "It's not like you ability users can be of any use to us, we'll end up figuring out who it is in a jiffy!"
You turned your head towards Atsushi and Dazai, they didn't seem very shaken by this, but the laughter of Ranpo had caught your attention.
Just what is his ability?
"Not to worry officer, I'll solve this case right now!" Ranpo grinned, his eyes still closed.
Right now?! We barely got any evidence! You'd thought to yourself, blinking in confusion as a response to the statement.
"Ranpo-san—" Your voice was interrupted when a hand was placed gently on your shoulder, you turned to look at who it belonged to, only to be greeted by Dazai's mischievous expression.
One finger held up to his lips from his other hand, the other hand on your shoulder, he gave you a wink then moved his hand away from his lips and pulled his hand away from your shoulder.
"Just watch, you'll see."
He told you, and you furrowed your brows in puzzlement, but shrugged it off and watched Ranpo once again.
Ranpo hummed, pulling out his glasses from his pocket, grinning to himself.
"Ability: ultra deduction!" He exclaimed, opening his eyes and putting on his glasses, you can were perplexed but guessed that his ability had some kind of link to his glasses.
What you witnessed next was something you never thought you'd see. Something that you thought would be out of a Sherlock Holmes story.
