(Season 2, Episodes 5 + 7)

After a job went awry, Atsushi and Kyouka found themselves ambushed by Kouyou and her associates. The Guild intervened, rendering everyone powerless. In an unexpected turn of events, Kouyou was captured and is now our prisoner. However, detaining a Port Mafia executive may not be a prudent decision.

"Hey sister." Osamu's smile was gentle as he sat beside her bed in Yosano's infirmary, while Atsushi and I observed quietly from behind. "Been a while, hasn't it?"

"Yes, it certainly has, you vile little traitors." She glared at the brunette and me, which confused Atsushi. "You, boy, is Kyouka safe?"

"She's missing and it's your fault." As the were-tiger sprang towards the woman, she let out a laugh. "What's so funny!"

The bandaged man caught the weretiger's arm, deactivating his ability. "I ask that you leave this matter to me." He shooed Atsushi out, before reentering the room and locking the door. "Now then, sorry to get right to the point, but I'd like to know the Port Mafia's strategy regarding this conflict."

"Hmph, don't tell me you have forgotten our code, boy. Those with loose tongues are the first to die."

"Don't tell me you've forgotten how I used to fill in for your subordinates who were classified as torture specialists." Osamu shoved his hands into his coat pockets. "Can you recall a single instance where a hostage didn't talk after I asked the questions? I'm sorry to say, this won't be very pretty."

I should've taken the hint and left the room with Atsushi.

-In The Agency's Original Building-

The ADA's office had become unsafe, prompting us to relocate to the building where the Agency originally established itself. This damn Guild is getting on my nerves.

Through the door the President entered. "Listen up, The Port Mafia seeks to eradicate the Agency; the Guild seeks to usurp the Agency. We must do all we can to protect ourselves from both of these foes. Dazai, please continue."

"You got it!" The man slipped both hands into his pockets. "The Guild has substantial financial assets, and the Port Mafia has the benefit of numbers. So, we'll split into defensive and offensive teams and engage them in guerilla warfare. The primary goal for the defensive team is to make sure Doctor Yosano is protected. As long as we don't die outright, her healing ability can cure our injuries. The offensive team will split into two sections and surprise the enemy using Junichiro's mirage ability and my nullification ability. The crux of this strategy is to keep our base of operations hidden. If our enemies hit us here with everything they've got, our defenses will never hold."

I was assigned to the offensive team with Atsushi and Osamu.

"Of the three organizations, only one of us can survive," the President declared. "Our only option left is to fight."

Osamu, Atsushi, and I were seated on the bench, awaiting the train's arrival. The Guild had tried to capture Naomi and Haruno as leverage against us. Fortunately, they managed to elude capture, which is why we were anticipating their arrival by train.

"Still no sign of the train yet," Atsushi pointed out. "Hope they're okay."

"The head of the Port Mafia embodies efficiency." Osamu reclined on the bench, resting his arms behind his head. "You can definitely count on Mr. Mori for a number of things, and that includes taking advantage of our weak spots."

"Especially while we have our guard down," I added.

"Atsushi, (Y/n), there's an urgent errand I need to carry out." The brunette stood up. a serious look plastering across his face.
