My ability....?

As soon as we reach back to the office, kunikida told atsushi about the mission given to them by the president. Surprisingly, he told me to not tag along this time. I was not disappointed, if anything i was happy. But i was also confused.

"Why??"
I asked, tilting my head.

"Do you want to come along? No that I will let you, but do you want to?"
Kunikida crossed his arms.

"Well....no."

"Then don't ask. I do have a job for you though."
He said and gave me a credit card.
"Buy the groceries."

"WHAT? Why me???"
'Who does he think he is? Ordering me around like that???'

"You can treat yourself with whatever you want with this card if you buy the groceries."

"......"

"How dare you think so low of me? I will buy groceries just because you offered me to treat myself with your money???"
I said to myself as i walked down to the grocery store.

It was evening, birds chirping, a bit cloudy, but i didn't mind. If anything, i liked it when it was cloudy and windy. It felt nice.

If i remember correctly, their mission today was of the azure messenger. I wonder why i am not allowed to come along?

I walked slow steps to the grocery store. And infront of the store, i notice a black clothed figure with a bag of...well, groceries.
'Oh-'

I recognised the figure as Akutagawa. i knew he waits for Gin in that one episode, but i never thought he would himself buy groceries.
My eyebrows twitched and I paused, and then turned back around.
'Surely there are better grocery stores around right? I never liked this one's stuff. The vegetables are rotten and-'

"Y/N."

'Shit.'

I sighed and turned back.
"Oh i didn't see you there! What a coincidence! You see, i would love to chat and all but i suddenly remembered i really need to fold my TV before it boils. Adios!"

Akutagawa looked at me dumbfounded. He blinked and i swear he facepalmed.
"Cut the crap."

"What are you doing here?"
He asked, crossing his arms.

"What would i do near a grocery store?"
'He's being pretty casual for someone who strangled me...'

He stayed quiet, his gaze looking me up and down and i was JUST SLIGHTLY intimidated. He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a call. He picked up the call and out it to his ear.
"What? You couldn't get one job right? I'll be there in 5."
He put the phone back. I assumed the call was from the port mafia.

I didn't say anything and he just walked away a bit awkwardly. But he stopped to say
"You are indeed Miura, how curious."
And he walked forward again.

'What'
I blinked and scratched my head.
"He finally lost his mind..."
I tilted my head a little and made my way into the grocery store.

I looked through the aisles and (diligently) picked out some cabbages, tomatoes, cheese, ketchup, juice (for me), chocolates (also for me), strawberries, mangoes, cereal....and some other things kunikida had listed.

I always assumed groceries were bought by one of the workers in the ADA...oh wait, considering i have no abilities, i am a worker too.

Needless to say, i was shocked to see an unexpected manga section in this grocery store. And so i head over to it. I skim through the aisle and look at the one manga that caught my eye.

*"You can treat yourself with whatever you want with this card if you buy the groceries."*
Kunikida's angelic words ringed into my ear, and i grinned, picking up the manga and tossing it into the cart.

I walk to the counter with my cart and stand in the line.
'Wait...'
This scene was familiar.
'Am i getting Deja Vu?'

That dream...the first dream i had. It looked exactly like this. But dazai is at the mission...surely it's just a coincidence...right?

I just shake my head and pay for the groceries. As soon as i exit the store with my bag, i see a very pissed off chuuya at a distance, tapping his foot against the ground, arms crossed and teeth gritted. Looks like he was waiting for someone. And for some reason, I decided to walk away as quickly as possible without being noticed. So i did.

I turned to the direction opposite to where chuuya was. I tried to walk as fast as i could without letting my sneakers make much noise. Why was i avoiding him? I had no idea. The dreams I had were getting to my head maybe, since i was starting to believe those dreams weren't just made up illustrations i saw in my sleep. They felt too precise and real for that. And i was slightly afraid he would recognise me if the dreams happened to be real.

As i was at a considerable distance from the grocery store, i looked behind. No chuuya. I let out a relieved sigh and put a hand in my pocket, the other hand holding the bag. The sun was starting to set.
'I should've brought a pepper say.'

I took careful steps. The world was too cruel for me to be at ease at dark. As i walked, i felt something in my pocket.
"Huh?"

I grabbed the small plastic bottle that was in my pocket and looked at it, dumbfounded.
"What...."

'Im sure it wasn't here before.'

I had wished for a pepper spray, and i had it. What the hell? Is THIS my ability? No way...
But then again, the day of the test, i randomly got a pocket knife in my pocket. I thought Dazai gave me that.

I put the bottle back in my pocket.
'I need to explore it more before i let the members know..'

I was happy, atleast i could be useful to the agency. But i wonder...did dazai already know about this? Is that why he let me in the agency? How is that possible?

I let my thoughts wander as i reached the agency building. I walked into the kitchen, naomi and another girl were there. I smiled at them and handed them the groceries.

"Hi! I got the groceries."

"Oh, thankyou so much Y/N-san. We'll put it away."
Naomi chirped.

"Ah, should i help? I don't have anything to do anyway."

The girls just smiled at me and thanked me as we put the groceries away while discussing some things like our interests. It was a nice time. Dare I say it was cozy. Maybe i was starting to feel good here.
