★ - SLURRRPP!

The young male beside you known as Atsushi eats and slurps on his Chazuke like a wild beast that hasn't eaten for years, while bringing the bowl of Chazuke close to his mouth to savour the taste.

" Come on, Dazai. Let's get back to work already! "
Kunikida slightly raises his voice to Dazai, irritated.
You sat just beside Atsushi, munching on your [F/F] silently while observing the scene infront of you.

" No sane person would suddenly say, 'What a nice river' and dive into it during work! "
He looks at Dazai, his eyebrows scrunches in irritation while holding his ideals notebook before continuing,
" Look at what you've done! I'm drastically off-schedule now! "

Dazai answers while looking at the blonde-haired man,
" You sure do love your notebook, Kunikida-kun.. "

Kunikids slams the table with one of his hands while shouting at Dazai, making [Y/N] startled and covers her ears with both of her hands,
" This is no mere notebook! It's my ideals! A guide to how I should be living and.. "
He points at his notebook, the title of the notebook saying ' IDEALS ',
" There is no having a suicidal maniac as a co-worker written here!! "
He shouts at Dazai while still pointing his finger onto the notebook, making Atsushi start talking with food in his mouth.
" Ngmgu mngaming? "
' That's.. rather unpleasant.'
[Y/N] thought.

Again, Kunikida slams one of his hands onto the table,
" I told you, this is work! Dazai
and I have been hired by the military police to exterminate a wild animal! "

Dazai asks, confused while turning his face to you,
" How the hell is Atsushi and Kunikida holding a conversation? "

You shrug, a deadpanned look plastered on your face from boredom.

After Atsushi finishes his 30 bowls of Chazuke, he exclaims,
" Phew, I'm full! "
" I don't wanna see a Chazuke again for another decade! "
He says, a satisfacted expression filled his face.
" Why, you.. "

Atsushi continues,
" Well, you guys really helped me out there! "
[Y/N] mumbles,
" I didn't even help you with anything, did I? "
Atsushi actually hears it since you really are beside him, making him slightly blush before continuing again,
" B- but, you really did help me out there, [Y/N]-san! "
You turn your head over to Atsushi, asking him for confirmation with sarcasm lacing and filling your honey-toned voice,
" Hm? Did I really? If I did, what exactly did I help you with, Atsushi-kun? "

" Uhm.. "
He sweatdrops, not knowing what to answer to her question.

" I was forced to leave the orphanage, where I lived, and traveled to Yokohama without food or sleep. I thought I was going to die, until you guys appeared. You made me snap back to reality, [Y/N]-san. "

" Oh, really? I appreciate you if that was by any chance a compliment. "
She slightly chuckles, making Atsushi slightly blush.

" Hmm.. So, you were released from a facility, Atsushi-kun? "
Dazai asks the white-haired mae infront of him with the back of his hand supporting his chin.

" .. Release? More like I was kicked out. "
" Management slumps or downsizing, or something like that. "
Atsushi exclaims, sadness and broken hope lacing his voice.

" Sounds like one heartless facility. "
Dazai exclaims,
" Hey, Dazai! We're not volunterleers who gives unfortunate youngsters compassion! Back to work! "
[Y/N] just stares blankly into space before starting,
" You both.. What exactly is your work, if I may ask? "

" It seems that you are interested in knowing, [Y/N]-chan. "
Atsushi relates,
" I want to know too. "

..

" We're detectives. "

Kunikida tch-es before continuing,
" We are detectives, but we are not interested into finding lost cats or investigating infedelities. "
" Our field is the wild cases of murder and the like. "
" Have you both heard of the Armed Detective Agency by any chance? "
Kunikida asks Atsushi and [Y/N].
Just a few seconds later, Atsushi happens to see a gun in Kunikida's pocket.

' The Armed Detective Agency sounds familiar. '
' It's a group of detectives that specializes in dangerous cases where neither the military nor the police can be relied upon. '
' An armed group that maanages twilight the time between the worlds of day and night. '
Atsushi thinks nervously about the Armed Detective Agency.
' Employees of the Armed Detective Agency have unusual abilities, and thus, they are called the ability users. '

[Y/N] gives the blonde-haired guy an answer, seeing that the younger male beside her is lost in thoughts and yet still not answering Kunikida's question.
She slightly shakes her head, earning an eyebrow raise from Kunikida.

It was awkward for a few moment, until Dazai looks up to an object or something.
" That intel seems durable.. Seems like it could even support a man's weight."
" Don't try to hang yourself in a tea shop we just went into for the first time!! "
Kunikida scolds Dazai, earning a 'incorrect!' button from him but instead of the one answering Dazai, It's [Y/N].

" No, Kunikida-san. You're incorrect. It's actually called neck-hanging hygiene. Don't you know that? "
She asks, while lying about the so called neck-hanging hygiene.
" What? That needs to be hygenic? " Kunikida raises one of his eyebrows in interest to her, actually believing it with no hesitation.

' Quite the entertainment she is,'
Dazai thought.

Dazai continues after [Y/N],
" Correct, [Y/N]-chan.
First, let's prepare a durable necktie, Kunikida-kun. "
Dazai explains the nonsense,
Atsushi not believing it while [Y/N] hums playfully.
' I wonder if that's a real thing..'
Atsushi thought.

" We're joking. "
[Y/N] and Dazai states, which the statement is actually in sync, making the brown-haired male fake gasps.
" Oh, my dear [Y/N]-chan, would you like to- "
Dazai got a hit on the head.
" Dazai, YOU FOOL!
I can't believe I actually fell for your idiotic nonsensical lies! "
Kunikida scolds him, before Atsushi stopping them by a question.

" Uhm.. S- so.. What work do you two detectives have today..? "
Atsushi asks, making [Y/N] nod in agreement, also wanting to ask that question as if she didn't already know what the 'work' is.

" We're hunting a tiger. "

" Hunting.. A tiger? "
