"Wait... WHAT?!" I shout.

He covers my mouth. "Shut up."

"B-but... How did you get an ability?" I asked.

He sighs. "The day you left to Japan."

My eyes go wide.

{FlashBack}

After I left home too, I was driving in the middle of nowhere and spotted a car flipped upside down. I immediately stopped and called the police. I look inside and see a woman and a dead body next to her. I immediately help her get out. Once she was out. I accidentally touched the corpse of the man. All of a sudden, I was visualizing the man getting stabbed in the head with a knife by the woman. I look at the other side of his head and spot a knife. Without telling the woman, I tell the police once they arrive about the knife, turns out, they found her fingerprint on the knife. She was arrested. I realized I figured out how he died. I heard about abilities, so I decided to look up more about them. I found a page that said "The Armed Detective Agency". I immediately started reading about it.

The Armed Detective Agency, an ability user organization that helps solve crimes even the police can't solve. Almost all of the detectives wield supernatural powers known as "Abilities". It was founded by a man with the name "Fukuzawa" after an encounter with a man named....

{Flashback Pause}

"Renpi?" B/n asked me.

"Ranpo Edogawa." I corrected him.

"Oh, thanks."

{Back to Flashback}

I soon discovered I had used my ability, the weird thing is, I never knew about it. I decided to keep it to myself just in case. Until.... Dazai told me you wielded an ability yourself, and you were part of The Armed Detective Agency.

{Flashback Over}

"Woah...." I mumble.

I see Dazai finish recording a video.

"What are you gonna use that for?" I ask.

"Translating." He says.

"You both need to leave." B/n says.

"Huh? Why?" I ask. "The 4th of July is after tomorrow! I can't miss the fireworks!"

"It's too risky." He sighs.

"I'm not leaving." I say.

"Well, too bad." He says, "I will use force if I have to."

"Fine." I sigh. "But you're going also."
