The White Tiger: Life as an Armed Detective Agency (Bungou Stray Dogs)

Chapter 2: Bomber confrontation

'Whe-where am i?'

Atsushi woke up with a sun shining in his face and to an unfamiliar ceiling. Atsushi slowly opened his eyes, he sat up and sigh.
He look to his left to see a tiny kitchen and the front door, he looked up at the ceiling, close his eyes and inhale and exhale.

Suddenly he heard a phone ringing. He looked to his left and saw that that there was a pile of clean clothes with a ringing phone on it above his head on the floor. Along with a bag behind it. He reach his hand to picked it up and answer the call as he put it to his left ear.

"Hello?"

"Good morning!" He heard Dazai say on the other end.

"Oh, Dazai-san."

"Today's another fine day, how's the new dorm?" Dazai asked.

"Well, thank you." Atsushi replied with a smile.

"That's good to hear, the change of clothes at your pillow is a gift from everyone at the agency."

"Thanks." Atsushi thanked him.

"By the way, Atsushi-kun, i apologize for asking this out of the blue..." Dazai trailed off. "But there's been an emergency."

"An emergency?"

"Yes there can be no delay, please come to the specified location immediately. It's a crisis! Only you can help." Dazai told Atsushi.

"Uhh, yes." Atsushi told him. He got up and wear some Armed Detective Agency uniform.

"Are you ready, Atsushi-kun?" Dazai asked him while he put on his shoes.

"Yes." Atsushi replied.

"First, when you leave the room, make sure to close the door." Dazai told him. Atsushi go outside, look and close the door.

"Look behind you!"

Atsushi turn around. He saw in surprised when he saw Dazai in an oil drum. Atsushi ran down the stairs and ran over to him. Atsushi was confused when he saw how happy Dazai was.

"Um, what's going on?" Atsushi said in confused.

"What do you think?" Dazai asked him back.

Atsushi scan him around to find some answers.

He guessed it. Atsushi sigh in realization

"You got in yourself?"

"Yep." Dazai replied. Atsushi sigh.

"Well, you see... i heard there's a way to commit suicide by getting stuck in an oil drum, so i decided to give it a shot." He said while sinking further into the drum. "But know that i have, i'm just suffering without being able to actually die." He continued. "Not to mention, now that I've wedged myself this deep, i can't get out on my own. I think i might die." He said, sinking even further into the drum.

"I see... but it's a way to commit suicide, so you should be able to kill yourself if you stay that way, i think?" Atsushi said, Dazai gave him a weird yet stern face.

"I like suicide, but i don't like suffering or pain!" Dazai told him. "Why would i?!" Dazai asked him.

"I see." Atsushi said as he hooks an arm around Dazai's shoulders and grab his ankle with his free hand . A controlled heave later, he started to crack his hips and stretch his probably sore body. Dazai gets up.

"That was painful." Dazai said while still cracking his hips. "I owe you one, Atsushi-kun. Without you, i would've snapped in two at the waist." Dazai then leaned back and stretched that way.
