Soukoku Mini Stories

Undercover Identity. (Story 25)

Chuya opened the door walking towards his boss, "You wanted to see me, sir?" Chuya sat in the purple chair positioned in front of Mori's desk. "Yes, this is about your next mission." Chuya raised an eyebrow, "I'm listening." "There is a briefcase that got smuggled into the city, this briefcase contains over eight thousand red cursed gemstones that can cause mass destruction. We need this briefcase in our custody before it gets in the wrong hands. We the Port Mafia are here to protect this city." "I'm interested." Mori smirked, "The briefcase is your typical briefcase, black but has gold hardware. Tomorrow, at the Yokohama Masquerade the smuggler will be attending, possibly handing off the briefcase. To achieve our goal here, I need you to go undercover to the masquerade." "Are you sure I need to boss?" "Yes, I am positive. So Chuya, are you in?" Chuya thought for a moment before answering, "I'm in sir." Mori's smirk spread across his face, "Excellent. I will email you all the information you need about the smuggler himself, the gemstones, and the masquerade. Oh, one more thing Chuya. This mission stays between us two, do not inform a soul, understood?" "Understood," Chuya stood up grabbing his black coat off the back of the chair, "I won't disappoint you, sir."

Chuya sat in Lupin's bar drinking his fourth glass of red wine, "Jeez Chuya, it must have been a hard day at the Mafia then?" Dazai leaned into Chuya, their bodies almost touching, Dazai could smell the wine from Chuya's breath. "Yeah, tomorrow is gonna be hell too." Chuya let a sigh escape his mouth, "Is Mori making you his errand boy?" Dazai chuckled, Chuya opened his mouth but stopped, he remembered what Mori said to him. "Uh, no, it's not Mori it's a teenage gang bringing drugs into the city, me and some other members got assigned to it." Dazai raised his eyebrow, "Yikes, sounds like a job for rookies." "I know, I tried to get out of it but nope." Chuya chugged his now fifth glass of wine.

"I'm going on a date tomorrow." Dazai smirked, "Oh? You finally found a woman willing to kill herself with you? I'm shocked." Dazai stuck his tongue out in response, "Yep! I'll is meeting her tomorrow night. How about the following day, we meet up here? I'll tell you every single detail Chuya!" Dazai teased. "Sounds good. See you Sunday then." Chuya rested his wine glass and grabbed his black coat leaving Lupins.

Hours Earlier At The Detective Agency:

"Is everyone here now?" Kunkida pushed his glasses up, "Yes Kunkida sir." Atsushi pulled out his small notebook preparing to take notes. "Alright, ill begin now." He cleared his throat. "We have received information that cursed gems were smuggled into the city. These gems curse have the curse of destruction, this can cause massive casualties in Yokohama." Everyone was quiet, Kunkida pinned a photograph of the gem on the board, "These are what the gems look like. They are currently a total of eight thousand and possibly more, and this can destroy our city. The gems are currently in a briefcase being traded off tomorrow night at the Yokohama Masquerade. We don't know who the smuggler is but we know the trade will happen tomorrow at the masquerade ball. Any questions?"

"How are we gonna get the briefcase in our custody?" Jun'ichirō asked with a puzzled expression. "The president assigned Dazai and Atsushi to go to the masquerade ball tomorrow and prevent the trade-off." Atsushi and Dazai looked at each other, "Well, I'll have to cancel my plans for this." Dazai shrugged. "Meeting dismissed, except for you and Atsushi." Kunkida pushed his glasses up while the agency members left the room. 

"The president wants you guys to blend in at the masquerade tomorrow, so you'll have to dress up in fancy attire, look and smell you're very best." "I have a little something in my closet." Dazai smirked, "What about you Atsushi?" Kunkida asked, "I don't have anything other than this outfit." Dazai sprang out of his chair, "Let's go shopping then! We'll get Atsushi a brand new dazzling outfit for tomorrow!" Before Kunkida could object, Dazai already dragged Atsushi out of the meeting room. "Dazai!!!"
