Atsushi, Dazai, Kunikida and the Tanizaki siblings were seated near the window in the cafe down floor. Dazai was having Atsushi guess their previous occupations before they joined the agency.

"Tanizaki-san and his sister are students?" Atsushi asked.

"Oh! That's right. Amazing!" Tanizaki praised.

"How did you know?" Naomi asked.

"Naomi-san is wearing a uniform." Atsushi explained. "Tanizaki-san as well- I had a hunch he's around her age."

"Wow. What about Kunikida-kun, then?" Dazai asked.

"Stop! Even my former job-" Kunikida was cut off by Atshushi.

"A government official?"

"Ah, pity." Dazai smiled. "He was a math teacher at his old school."

"It's in the past, I don't want to remember it." Kunikida huffed.

Atsushi sweatdropped. He could already imagine how Kunikida would yell at his students for making mistakes.

"How about me then?" Dazai asked pointing at himself.

"Dazai-san was..." Atsushi tried to deduce his former job while Dazai smiled at him. Atsushi narrowed his eyes. "I can't think of anything."

"It's no use kid." Kunikida said. "His former job is one of the seven wonders of the Armed Detective Agency. I guessed that he was a type of criminal but he said I was wrong. But since criminals are hardworking, that was impossible."

"Wasn't there a prize for the first person to guess that?" Tanizaki asked.

"That's right." Dazai grinned. "Since no one except Praisy-chan has guessed it correctly yet, the prize has been piling up."

"Wait! Praisy guessed it correctly!?" Kunikida, Atsushi and Tanizaki siblings yelled in unison.

"I didn't tell you?" Dazai blinked dumbly. "She guessed my previous job correctly in the first week she arrived. Although she refused to take the prize money..."

(I hope you know how Praisy correctly guessed Dazai's former job!)

"By the way.." Atsushi slowly asked. "How much is this prize?"

"You want to participate? Right now it's 700000 yen!" Dazai grinned and Atsushi jumped up from his seat with a glint in his eyes.

"If I guess right, I'll get the money, right?" Atsushi asked again.

"A suicide advocate never goes back on his word." Dazai confirmed, his eyes practically challenging Atsushi.

"Salary man?"

"No."

"Researcher?"

"No."

"Factory worker?"

"No."

"Writer?"

"No."

"Actor?"

"No, but..." Dazai blushed. "An actor would be embarassing."

"So you really were either jobless or a homeless person?" Kunikida asked.

"No." Dazai stood up. "I already told you Praisy knows my previous occupation. Besides I won't lie about it."

"I can't believe even the infirmary door couldn't block out your loud noises." A new voice greeted them and everyone immediately turned around.

"Praisy!" They shouted as Praisy walked towards them.

"How are you feeling?" Naomi giggled as she hugged Praisy.
