Atsushi's POV

'We made it back alive...' I thought, standing in front of the door to the agency. 'But... can the agency look past the thirty-five people she murdered?' I reached for the doorknob, but I froze before I opened the door. 'What am I going to do if she and the Agency are at odds with each other?' I steeled my nerves and grabbed the doorknob, walking into the Agency.

"Good morning," I said, looking at the ground. I then froze when I saw the scene unfolding before me. Kyouka was in a maid's dress, standing on a spinning chair, surrounded by Agency members. Except for Kunikida-san, who was at his desk, working.

"Can you turn around once for me?" Naomi-chan asked Kyouka. The others wowed as she jumped deftly into the air and spun a little bit, before landing perfectly back on the chair. "So cute!" Naomi-chan squealed. "I don't think Narumi would ever let me dress her up like this!"

"What's going on?" I asked Tanizaki-kun.

"Well, she looks good in anything," he told me.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about..." I said. "Kunikida-san..."

"Don't look at me like that," he said, not even looking at me. "I tried to stop them, too."

"I wonder if this is going to work out," I muttered.

"Maybe it's not such a good idea," Tanizaki-kun whispered to me.

"Even if everyone else is okay with it, Rampo-san might be a stickler about the rules..." I said.

"Oh, don't worry about that," Tanizaki-kun told me. As if on cue, Rampo-san entered the Agency loudly.

"I'm back!" he declared loudly, bursting through the door with a big bag of groceries in his right arm. "I bought some!" he walked over to Kyouka, who was still standing on the chair and rummaged through his bag.

"Rampo-san's into it the most," Tanizaki-kun said.

"This is the snack I told you about earlier," Rampo-san told Kyouka, holding out a Mixy Mixy Mixy Mix. "It changes color when you mix it. Go ahead, mix it." Kyouka sat on her knees on the chair and looked at the snack in wonder. My eye twitched a little as I watched. "First, open the bag, then put the two powders into the container, and add some water."

"They're like siblings in elementary school..." I said.

"Next, mix really well," Rampo-san continued. "It's important to put your feelings into it. Okay? Mix, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix, mix. And look, how strange!" Kyouka lifted the stick with the snack and looked at it with awe. "But I'm the one who gets to eat it." We all grunted, froze, and jumped when Rampo-san just ate the snack from Kyouka's hand, leaving her dumbstruck.

"How childish..." Tanizaki-kun said.

"Rampo-san, you're a terrible person!" Naomi-chan complained.

"Well, it is just like him to do that..." I smiled, sweating. "So, who called her over to the Agency?" I asked, getting a bit more serious.

"It was me," President said, walking into the room.

"President!" I said.

"Any movement form the police?" he asked. "Thanks to the Port Mafia's attempts to erase her identity, they haven't tracked down who she is yet... But she'll be a wanted fugitive soon." Kyouka silently walked up to President.

"Please let me stay here," she asked.

"What?" I asked, slightly surprised.

"I'll do anything," she added.
