Two Suicidal Maniacs - Dazai Osamu x female oc(Bungo Stray Dogs)

Chapter 8

(This one is a bit long...but I still hope you enjoy it( •̀ ω •́ )✧ But you can skip it if u want, it's just a crime case.)

Cold sweat came as me and Dazai walked up the stairs leading to the armed detective agency. It was rather a gloomy way up there, no source of light was to be found. I breathed heavily when we approached the door. In front of me was Dazai's back, perfectly blocking the vision from what awaited onwards, as if acting as a shield that protected me from reality. The tension was thrilling and worrisome.

"Ready?" Dazai asked, putting his hand on the doorknock while turning his head, giving me a look.

I nodded.

As the Dazai turned the doorknock, revealing the scene behind it, pairs of eyes looked in our direction. I slowly moved my head towards one side of Dazai, gazing at the members of the detective agency. Dazai gave me an ensuring look, encouraging me to do what's suited. Yosano was there, inspecting around, as if looking for a prey, but smiled when she spotted me. Then there's Doppo Kunikida, gripping his 'ideals' notebook sitting in front of a computer turning to my direction with a serious expression, beside him were Junichiro Tanizaki and Naomi, carrying a stack of paper that was taller than himself, which caused the absence to notice my appearance, or not until Naomi nudged him to realise. Kenji Miyazawa and Ranpo Edogawa were chatting freely at one of the couches, until they spotted me and waved.

I timidly waved to everyone and introduced myself briefly. Conversations held afterwards.

"It's nice to see you again Chika." Yosano greeted with a positive grin.

I greeted back.

"I'm Kunikida, I hope we have a nice time working together onwards. However, this wasn't included in my schedule so I'm already late in time, hope you have a nice day though, I need to get back to work now."

I nodded and smiled as he roughly sat back on his sit without further commitments, dedicating himself in his work.

"Sorry to not notice you then, but nice to meet you. I'm Tanizaki," The orange head said while pointing to Naomi. "This is Naomi, my sister."

"Ooo~Ni-sama, shall we continue it when we get back home? And hello there Chika-chan, it's surely nice to meet you, I hope we get along well." She said with a wink, and then sprawled over Tanizaki as he gave me an awkward laugh.

I was a bit surprised by the relationship between the two, but out of respect, I greeted them regardless before walking to the couch where Ranpo and Kenji were.

"Lovely to meet you Chika-chan, I'm Kenji and we are the same age. I believe we'll have common conversations then. Oh yes, Kyouka-chan is also the same age as us, but she's on a mission with Atsushi-kun, you'll meet them tomorrow, so don't worry."

Kenji surely is talkative, I even made up a few sentences with him before greeting Ranpo.

He's lying down on the couch and flinging popcorn in his mouth. "I'm the greatest detective in the whole world Chika-chan, you won't be able to hide anything from me." He then inspected me with his glasses. "Nice to meet you though!" He said enthusiastically.

Everyone's characteristics fitted perfectly in what was written in the documents. They were surely helpful, but of course, I had to act as if I didn't know them.

"So...Chika-chan, it wouldn't be nice to have work on your first day, but there is a case that I would like you to go and have a try. Would you mind completing it with Dazai?" Ranpo contested after a few good minutes of examining me as the smile of his faded away. I have a bad feeling...

"Sure thing!" I said genuinely.

He then jumped up and tossed the food scraps in the nearby bin with only one shot. The smile of his came back. Me and Dazai then left the building after biding goodbyes with the rest of the agency, heading to our destination.
