Shadows Of The Twilight (Book-II)

<47>

(3rd person's pov):

Time goes really fast. And it was already the next day; two days later after the defeat of Guild.

As usual, at office starting hours, the elevator makes a 'ding' sound; two figures walking out of the door - Emily and Kyouka.

It's 8o' clock in the morning and they are about to open the door, with Emily holding a few files and papers, and offcourse our new agent Kyouka with bare hands.

The door opens and the two figures entered.
The office was full today. Complete Attendance.

All of them were sitting on their own respective desks, except for Dazai offcourse who was nowhere to be seen in the office room. Perhaps he was lying somewhere, or sleeping like a log.

All of their eyes were stucked on the computer screens. And our detective Ranpo was focussed on the video game, as well as Kunikida focussed on his notebook.

...

"Good morning Emily! Kyouka!" Atsushi greeted politely. Kyouka smiled at him.

"Good morning!" Emily cheered keeping the files on her desk, "You guys surely look overloaded today--"

"Yeah, we have to submit the reports of our recent battle with the Guild right?" Atsushi replied, "So all of us are trying to finish our regular stakeout jobs~"

"Oh about that.." Emily trails off, as she sat on her chair infront of her computer, "I am coming from the President's office, he told us to take it easy for now."

"I mean we did a good job by defeating the Guild offcourse but we are totally worn out. And the President said we still have time so we can submit it by the next two or three weeks!"

"That's a good news to hear!" Atsushi said.

"Yeah," Tanizaki replied from his chair, "Considering the number of pending cases we got these days, it will be hard to keep up if we have to submit the battle reports. Not to mention the damage caused by the whole incident."

"That's for sure~" Emily replied, arranging the files on her desk.

....

"Oh by the way?" Atsushi asked, "How come Kyouka is with you today Miss Emily? Today morning, when I woke up she was not in her bed either."

"I was training!" Kyouka replied and Emily faintly smiles glancing at her.

"Traning?" Atsushi asked, "Training for what?"

"I just wanted to see how much she has improved with her ability--" Emily replied, "Right Kyouka?"

"Yeah, if a day comes when my ability doesn't work on my orders, then, I will have to stand there for myself," Kyouka responded, "Miss Emily has been helping me out to hone my own physical strength, speed, and assassination skills!"

"Uhh-- Assassination?" Atsushi's eyebrows were twisted with a little bit of awkwardness.

"Well, her ability is perfect for assassinating people, she can use that to take down bad guys," Emily proudly says, "Besides she's good with knives as well."

"Hmm.." Atsushi hummed processing her reply in his head.

.....

"Goood!! Everything's in order!!!" A serious voice spoke up, drawing their attention.

It was Kunikida starring at his diary, with full concentration.

"My minute by minute schedule, and a beautiful array of words and numbers written in a disciplined manner," He spoke, "Truly befitting public service work as an agent!"
