"By the way, what did you two do before joining the agency?"

Hearing what Atsushi said, i put my coffee on the table infront of me and looked at him.
Kunikida, who was strangling Dazai snapped his head in our direction. Atsushi shivered and smiled nervously.
"J-just a silly question, by the way."

"Take a guess."
Dazai spoke, seating himself on the chair beside Kunikida.

"It's a game we often play, consider it a part of detective training."

Atsushi thought, turning to Naomi and Tanizaki.
"Tanizaki-san and Naomi-san....were students?"

"Bingo!"
Sang Tanizaki, smiling.

"I heard you are a part-time worker, and you are wearing a uniform, so i thought you might still be a student. Tanizaki-san seems near me in age so..."

I smiled at him, what an observant person.

"Then what about Kunikida-kun?"
Dazai teased, turning to Kunikida.

Kunikida spat his coffee.
"Who cares what i used to be?!"

Atsushi squinted.
"A public worker...? Maybe an official?!"

"Close. He was a math teacher."

"Huh...."
Atsushi grimaced.
"I can totally see that."

I snorted seeing his expression.
'Imagine Kunikida teaching you trigonometry.'
I shivered at the thought.
'Ok yeah that's scary.'

"Then what about me?"
Dazai asked.

"Dazai-san?"

Dazai nodded. He switched his sight from Atsushi to me.
"Why doesn't Miss Y/N guess this time?"

"What."
I said almost immediately.

"I thought you would know, since you seem so...perceptive."
Dazai titled his head to the side, bringing his hands behind his head.

'Perceptive my foot, you guys are anime characters.'
....is what i wanted to say, but i didn't want to be killed yet.

"Well i can only guess things which are obvious."

"Come on, atleast try. You know, there's a reward."

Atsushi perked up.
"A reward?"

"Thats right, no one's been able to guess right, so the reward's just ballooned."
Dazai sighed, dismayed.

Atsushi grabbed my shoulders and started shaking me.
"Y/N-SAN PLEASE! GUESS AND THEN WE CAN SPLIT THE REWARD."

"Atsushi-kun looks ecstatic."
Tanizaki sweat-dropped.

"HUH??"
I said, feeling myself getting a little dizzy.
"WAIT ATSUSHI STOP SHAKING ME I WILL TRY"

Atsushi stopped, blinked at me for 5 seconds, and sat back on the seat, tearing his gaze away from and to the floor. He was embarrassed.
"Ahaha...sorry."

I support my chin with my hand, pretending i was trying to guess hard.
'What should i say...? I should say something closer to him being a port mafia member. If i just outright say it, everyone will be suspicious. I could just say something completely wrong, but Dazai would definitely be suspicious if i do that.'

I narrowed my eyes and snapped my fingers, turning back to look at Dazai and Kunikida.
"Were you a...uh someone who worked in a low-profile organisation or something..?"

Dazai's eyebrows twitched and instead of smirking, which i expected him to do, his smile dropped slowly for a few seconds but then it came back again.
"Very close....how did you guess?"
