You groaned in annoyance. So many things had gone wrong while you operate your shift at your family's cafe.
Apparently, the agency's client from yesterday was actually a mafioso named Ichiyou Higuchi working under the Port Mafia's vicious dog: Ryunosuke Akutagawa. She had led Junichiro, Naomi, and Atsushi into a trap. Her mission was to capture the weretiger and kill all who tried to stop her. When Dazai came to save the day, Higuchi was fuming. Thanks to Atsushi, the agency was now probably looking at the worst possible outcome.
At this current moment though, you could care less about anything. You were Hines out, "we have so much work to do but I'm so bored... all day it's been nothing but work, work, and more work. Why does the Port Mafia have to be so annoying?"
"Sucks to be you," Ranpo laughed as he quickly scribbled something down on the newspaper's crossword.
"That's not very nice, Ranpo," you responded, pouting, "couldn't you be at least a bit sympathetic? You know better than anyone how much work feels like torture."
Ranpo looked up from his newspaper and smiled before responding, "how about I give you some mochi instead?" He quickly looked through his pile of snacks on his desk before emerging and holding up a mango mochi.
"Oh, thanks!" You exclaimed, rushing forward to grab the mochi and immediately putting it in your mouth.
"I don't know how they do it," Yosano commented as she watched you happily plop the treat into your mouth. In the midst of your joy at eating the tasty desert, you didn't hear her. "How can one person look so good every day, be able to convince Dazai to work, get Ranpo to constantly give them treats, and be able to make me genuinely feel..." she stopped suddenly, refraining from saying what she was about to say. She was known for being flirtatious around the agency, but she didn't want to admit it out loud yet. She didn't want to make it clear just how much you really warmed her heart.
"Awh, come on!!" Ranpo complained, throwing the newspaper to the side before grabbing a marble drink. "The crossword's too easy! This is starting to get boring..." Then, he turned to you and asked, "do you want more mochi? I'll give you one more as long as you promise to come along with me for the next case I get!"
"Yes, please!" You grabbed the mochi out of his hand and plopped it in your mouth. Only seconds later, you spoke up again, mouth full of mochi. "Mm, dyah. Dhere fis Fafufi?"
Kunikida looked up from his work and glared at you. "Swallow before speaking, (Y/N)," he ordered before looking back down at his work again and continuing to tap away at his keyboard.
