Chapter 22

"Now, could you turn for me?" Naomi asked sweetly.

Kyouka spun around while standing on the desk chair. She was wearing a maid outfit.

"Woah!" Everyone exclaimed, except for Kunikida who was typing at his computer.

"So cute!" Noami gushed.

"She looks adorable!" I agreed.

Finch was on my shoulder, "You've said that for the 12th time."

"But it's true!" I looked at Finch.

I noticed Atsushi and Junichiro talking to each other.

Ranpo opened the door with a brown paper bag in his arm, "I'm back!" He exclaimed.

He ran over to Kyouka and looked in his bag of snacks. He started giving her the instructions on how to make one of them.

"Now, let me try a little bite!" Ranpo took a bite from the candy in Kyouka's hand.

Everyone looked at Ranpo and Kyouka in shock.

"Also, who invited her to visit the Agency?" I overheard Atsushi.

"It was me." Fukuzawa walked inside the room. "What's our status?" He looked at Kunikida.

"The Port Mafia wiped all information about her, so the police don't know where she is." Kunikida told him.

"I'm sure they'll mark her as a fugitive soon enough." Fukuzawa said.

Kyouka walked over to him. She stopped in front of him. "Please, let me stay here... I'll do anything."

"I don't recommend that." Kunikida stood up from his desk, "Not because you're wanted or we don't have a job for you. It's a hard life."

"Besides, the Port Mafia will find you. Shouldn't you run away as far as you can?!" Atsushi asked her.

"Akutagawa told me I'm only good for killing people.. but he's wrong. I have to prove myself that."

After a few seconds, Atsushi spoke. "President, I'd like to vogue for her." He bowed in front of him.

"Please consider." Kyouka said.

Fukuzawa gave her one of his frightening glares.

"Please.. consider." She mumbled again.

He continued glaring at her.

"Please...consider?" She mumbled even quieter.

"....Very well."

"What?!" Everyone said, except me and Finch.

"I'll take her in."

~Time Skip~
I typed on my computer and sighed.

I'm bored..

I looked around and noticed Kunikida was busy with his work.

I slowly got up and made sure he wasn't looking, I walked towards the door and quietly walked out.

Phew. He didn't see me-

"L/N!" Kunikida slammed the door open.

"Shit." I cursed under my breath.

"You can't just skip work!"

"...I finished my work."

"No, you did not-"

"Bye!" I started running down the hallway. "Finch, c'mon!"

"Don't ask me twice!" He followed behind me.

~Time Skip~
I walked down Yokohama and looked around.

"What are you doing, Y/n?" Finch sighed. He was on my shoulder.

"I wanna find Chuuya."

"Why?"

"I miss him.." I mumbled and walked down the sidewalk. I looked in every alleyway as I passed by one.

"Oh! I see~"

I sighed and looked around more. "Yokohama is large enough... Why can't he just appear?" I sighed again.

~Time Skip~
"Damnit.." I groaned. "I still haven't found him.."

Finch landed on my shoulder, "Yeah, I didn't see him while flying around."

I groaned again and stopped by a bench. I sat down. "Please! God, or whatever God is out there, help me find him!" I pleaded with my hands up.

"You're more talkative than usual.." Finch mumbled and landed on the bench.

"He's been making me love sick and this whole feeling is lifting my mood..."

"Oh. That's good to hear!"

I groaned again, "I swear I'll clean my room a lot more if I find him.."

"We get it. You're a simp."

"I AM NOT A SIMP!" I looked at Finch. "I just.. have very, very, very, very, very deep feelings for someone.."

"Yeah, so a simp."

"I'm not!"

"If he jumped off a cliff would you fall too?"

"......"

"See? Simp."

"You're the one who even-"

"Y/n?" I heard a familiar voice say.

I turned around and saw him. "Chuuya?!"

THANK YOU, LORD.

I noticed the street was empty.

Huh..

"What are you doing out here?" He asked me.

"Oh...uh.. I could ask you the same question."

"I was on a job until I noticed you were over here."

"Oh! Are you guys trying to kill us now that we have Kyouka?"

"No. At least I won't." He told me. "I should get going, I have a job to do for the Boss. I'll see you later."

He started walking away.

I tried to gather as much courage as I could, "U-uh, Chuuya."

"Huh?" He turned around and looked at me.

"...Any chance we could meet up somewhere?"

"Oh, sure. Where at?"

DAMNIT. I DIDN'T EVEN DECIDE WHERE... WHAT DO I DO?!

"Um.. I know a cafe under the Agency!" I said without thinking.

"A cafe? Alright, when?"

"...How does tomorrow sound?"

"I'll be free around 4:00."

"Okay. So, 4:00?"

"Yeah. 4:00. We can meet up in front of that cafe."

"Okay. I'll see you there."

"I look forward to it." He smiled and walked away.

I felt my face burn.

Holy shit. I did it.
