About this book: For the first few c...
In the affluent parts of Yokohama's city center stands a blue and black building, it was the Mafia's Headquarters.
In the office on the top most floor of the building, Ougai's head rest on his palm.
One of his subordinate enters the room after permission; submitting the reports of the last battle with Mimic and the reports of the number of Mafia's operatives that died.
Ougai looks over at the papers with disinterest.
And after a long silence, the subordinate standing infront of him opens his mouth to speak.
"Boss, The two Senior Executive Leaders, Mr. Dazai and Miss Evans have been uncontactable for two weeks now. We searched everywhere in this past two weeks, but surprisingly those two vanished. So, to decide the next Executive Leaders, it should be time to call for a conference." The subordinate informed.
"Hm... that's true" Ougai replies, unconcerned, starting to fold the paper in his hand.
"There's no need to assemble the Executive meeting. Just keep Dazai and Emily's spot empty." Ougai says as he gazes towards the reports on the table.
"B-but.. Boss, why's that? The Mafia always had 5 Top Executives. And now, it's necessary for someone to command." The subordinate said with hesitation.
"I agree." Ougai replies, "But even so, Dazai and Emily's dissapearance had long been predicted. And now, there's no one of their level who could fill up their place as a replacement. It doesn't matter if two of our special Executives are gone. Their place will always be theirs!"

Meanwhile...
Downtown Yokohama. Electric signs in a variety of colours stand like trees. Even though it is late, it is still crowded.
In a small bar with orange lanterns hanging outside, a tall, white-haired man sits at a table alone.
This is a crowded, cheap bar. The tall, white-haired man drinks the alcohol in his glass alone with a serious expression.
"To think, the leading figure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs drinks alone in such a cheap bar"
"What incomparable loneliness, Chief Taneda."
The sudden voice of a young man and a young woman in the opposite seat causes the white haired man - Taneda, to raise his head in surprise.
(Chief Taneda, who is the head of the Special Ability Department.)
"You two are..." Taneda surprisingly mumbles.
Sitting in the opposite seat, the two smiling young man and woman - it was Dazai and Emily; the two Ex-Executives.
Dazai tilts the bottle, pouring alcohol into the glass, "Let me pour you a drink."
Chief Taneda accepts his poured alcohol, finishing it in one shot, looking intently at Dazai and Emily.
"Your faces appears regularly on my reports, two frequent wanted guests that needs to be carefully monitored - How did you both know about this place?"
"Most things can be known with some simple investigation." Emily smiles, shrugging her shoulders.
"I heard that you two went underground for two weeks. So, Do you have some business now?"
"We are looking for a new job. Do you have any place you'd recommend?" Dazai asked with a cheerful tone.
Chief Taneda looks at Dazai and Emily in surprise.
Their faces are all smiles.
"I can't immediately believe this. There are a mountain of questions to ask..." Chief Taneda scratches his chin with his fingers. "Do you want to come to the Special Ability Department? If that's the case-"
"Please allow me to reject that suggestion." Dazai smiles bitterly. "Places with too many rules can suit Emily but it don't suit my personality."
"I don't want to join the Ability Department either." Emily says.
"Then, what do you both hope for?" Taneda asked.
"A place where we can help people." Emily replies immediately.
"Both of your crimes make a long list. To clear it, you have to lay low for around two years. But... Let me answer your question first. It's not as if I cannot find such a place." Taneda says.
"Okay~~ Let's hear it then," Dazai cheers.
"There is an armed organisation comprised of ability users. They're in charge of handling grey areas, troublesome matters that cannot be entrusted to the military or city police. The director there is a man with a good heart, he might be able to grant your wish." Taneda whispered.
Dazai nods, closing his eyes, as though thinking of something important.
"What is the name of that organisation?" Emily politely asks.
"Name? That company's name is-"
"The Armed Detective Agency"
