The moon hung low over Yokohama, casting long shadows that whispered of clandestine endeavors at the presence of a mastermind drawn to intellectual challenges. Hearing whispers about the greatest detective in the world piqued his interest to which he concluded: for him to get noticed by such a genius he'd supposingly concocted a scheme to lure the brilliant detective Ranpo Edogawa into the unfolding game. Calculations danced in this schemer's mind as he orchestrated an artful crime, carefully designed to pique the detective's curiosity.
A subtle smirk graced the challenger's lips as he contemplated the city's potential. The city presented an opportunity for him to unveil the depths of his strategic prowess. The challenge of orchestrating intricate schemes in a new and unfamiliar terrain would be a welcomed diversion. He could feel the city holding its breath, waiting for the detective prodigy to step into the intricate trap.
In a quiet alley this mystery person had set the stage for the puzzle solving, his little "welcome present" if you will. A series of cryptic symbols adorned the walls, a puzzle only a keen mind like Ranpo's could decipher. At the center of the tableau lay an intricately crafted puzzle box, a challenge waiting to be unraveled. However, little did he know, his little plan had to take a subtle de-tour. Instead of reaching the attention of Ranpo, he had actually gotten the one of Dazai's.
Dazai Osamu had stumbled upon the clandestine scene. His sharp eyes immediately recognized the telltale signs of an intellectual gambit. The symbols on the walls, the puzzle box—the city was whispering secrets, and Dazai was eager to listen. Just in one look he had figured that this was not his case to solve yet the intricateness was too intriguing for him to leave it alone. A smirk played on mastermind's lips; perhaps, in the absence of Ranpo, this unexpected observer would prove to be an intriguing diversion.
Hours later, as Dazai began to decipher the puzzle's hidden intricacies, he sensed the calculated brilliance behind the crime. The puzzle box opened, revealing a message that only deepened the enigma. Hurriedly the detective stood up and made his way back to the Armed Detective Agency's head quarters.
It was supposed to be a day like any other in the ADA, every member was busy tending to their duties; paper works, civil service, name it all. Ranpo was seated just by his office desk, he was delightfully munching on a pack of gummies that he had stashed in his little "snack safe", all was well till Dazai entered the office un-swayed by his colleagues 'hi's and hello's' headed straight towards Ranpo's desk.
"Ranpo-san, have a minute?"
The aforementioned was quick to read the room, snacks could wait for later, he placed the pack neatly on his desk as he straightened up his seated posture,
"What is it?" he asked Dazai, Dazai sent a cryptic message to Ranpo, alerting him to the orchestrated puzzle left by an unknown player. The message hinted at a potential rival, a mind capable of challenging even the great detective himself.
Ranpo, intrigued by the prospect of a worthy adversary, accepted the challenge with characteristic confidence. The chessboard had expanded, and the game had drawn in not only the detective prodigy but also the elusive Dazai Osamu and the unseen manipulator.
