Chapter 1: Starting point

———————

"Death by getting eaten by a beast doesn't sound too bad... But you cannot kill me."

The once dark and almost haunted warehouse lit up from the inside as a man held out his finger, gently touching the forehead of the said beast or to be more specific- a white tiger that was once ready to devour the man.

"My ability is to nullify other abilities by touch." The tiger's body glowed bright enough to blind someone before it began to fade away, but instead of the ferocious beast appeared a fragile body of a young adult.

The limp body fell carelessly into the support of the man. The boy had messily chopped hair which though wasn't the standard haircut, it oddly suited him well.

The man stared at the unconscious body in his hold before dropping it to the floor behind him.

"I have no such taste in men."

A figure right then walked up to the entrance reflecting a shadow. "Hey Dazai!"

Another figure joined in looking another the dusty place, covering her nose. Dazai noticed the two approaching figures and decided to greet them. "Hey. Took you long enough. I got the tiger already." Dazai points towards the unconscious body behind him with his pointer finger.

"That kid... So it was him"

The first figure confirms his theory while the other is rightfully confused.

The second figure turns to Dazai, " I'm afraid I don't catch on.. and just why was I called in late night on my vacation-" before the figure could continue, her mouth stretched open to yawn.

Dazai deadpanned before answering, "He's the weretiger. He has the power of the tiger but he doesn't retain any memories from when he transforms."

The first figure sighed and crossed his arms above his chest, "Dammit, let me know beforehand next time! You had me worried for a minute there. I even ended up calling the off-duty people to take care of things. Treat them to sake or something." And as if right on cue three people made their entrance as he finished talking.

First from the trio spoke a woman with black hair cut into a Bob with a butterfly hairpin clipping the side of her hair.(if you know, you know) she wore a white collared shirt tucked into a black skirt which reached past her knees.

"Oh come on. Nobody got hurt? Booooring"

Next was a slightly older male with messy black hair kept together by a brown hat resting on top of his head. He wore a white shirt with a loose tie and a brown coat on top. He also wore the same coloured pants. Strangely enough he kept his eyes closed.

"Hahaha! You did well, Dazai. Well, not that I couldn't have handled it."

Edogawa Ranpo
Ability name : Ultra Deduction

The last of the trio and the youngest had blond hair with brown eyes, an off-white shirt underneath blue overalls and a black belt keeping everything together. He looked like that one kid whose always happy-go-lucky. He seemed the most childish but believe me when I saw he's the strongest of them all.
