Narumi's POV

Yosano-sama finally let me leave the infirmary and let me join Atsushi-nii, Dazai-sama, Kunikida-sama, Tanizaki-sama, and Naomi-sama. It turns out that I was practically healed already! Right now I was leaning against Atsushi, while Dazai-sama and Kunikida-sama were sitting at the bar, while Tanizaki-sama and Naomi-sama were sitting in front of me and Atsushi.

"I... I... I'm so sorry!" Tanizaki-sama apologized to Atsushi while slamming his hands on the table and lowering his head.

"Huh?" Atsushi said.

"Though it was for your exam, I was so rude to you," Tanizaki-sama said. "My name is Tanizaki Junichirou. I work as an assistant of sorts at the agency."

"Please, it's all right," Atsushi said with his hands raised.

*He's not a bad person, really.* Atsushi said through our link.

"And this is--" Tanizaki-sama was cut off by Naomi-sama.

"His little sister, Naomi." She said while tackling her brother in a hug.

"Y-You're siblings?!" Atsushi asked them a little surprised. "I'm not sure I see a family resemblance."

"Oh?" Naomi-sama said as she started to slide her hand down Tanizaki-sama's face. "You doubt us?" She then slid her hand down Tanizaki-sama's torso. "Of course we're siblings by blood." She said as she then slid her hand under Tanizaki-sama's shirt. "We're quite similar, especially this part." Atsushi then took this moment to make me look away as he covered my ears.

"Oh, but..." I faintly heard Atsushi trail off.

"Don't pursue this line of inquiry with them too far," Kunikida-sama told Atsushi.

"Er, okay..." Atsushi said.

"In any event, brat, today you have joined the ranks of our Armed Detective Agency," Kunikida-sama told Atsushi. He then got louder, and I think the last sentence he said was directed more towards Tanizaki-sama and Naomi-sama. "Do not be a burden to anyone, nor shame the Agency's good name. The rest of us are committed to that, at least. Right, Dazai?" Kunikida-sama asked Dazai-sama while turning to him. Atsushi then let go of my ears and I looked over at Dazai-sama. Dazai-sama wasn't paying attention to Kunikida-sama.

"Would you strangle me with these fragile, delicate fingers?" Dazai-sama asked the lady behind the bar while gently stroking her palm. Kunikida-sama then stormed over to Dazai-sama and he slapped Dazai-sama really hard upside the head.

"Are you going to smear mud on the Agency's name right as I'm saying we never would?!" Kunikida-sama yelled at him. "You bastard! Don't bother asking for her help all the time!" Atsushi sighed. "I'll crush your neck with my own boney fingers!" Kunikida-sama then started to do just as he said he would.

"By the way, what were both of you doing before you joined the Agency?" Atsushi asked them. Kunikida-sama then stopped strangling Dazai-sama and they both looked at Atsushi a little surprised or taken aback. "Uh, no real meaning behind that question, by the way." He added blushing slightly and sweating.

"Take a guess," Dazai-sama said.

"Huh?" Atsushi asked.

"Oh, it's a game we play often," Dazai-sama explained. "The rookie(s) tries to guess his/her senior colleagues' former occupations. Well, it's part of their training as private investigators." Atsushi then looked at Tanizaki-sama and Naomi-sama.

"Tanizaki-san and Naomi-san... were students?" Atsushi guessed.

"Oh, bingo," Tanizaki-sama said a little impressed. "I'm impressed."
