"Hey, Nene-chan," a very pretty, violet-haired girl who wore a black apron over her simple, spring dress whispered to Yashiro Nene, one of the city's newest officers. "Have you heard of the Seven Wonders?"
"Is this another one of those urban legends that's going around town, Aoi?" the female officer asked cautiously.
"Nope!" Aoi picked up a pot where a few small sunflowers were growing. "The Seven Wonders are seven spies or skilled assassins who work for the Police Department... just meeting at least one of them is a huge honor! I don't even know what I'd do when I meet one of them in person!" Aoi swooned dreamily. "No.1 carries a special watch which he uses to store various devices and knives. Time seems to slow down whenever he moves. No.2 is a shopkeeper and an expert at wielding dual-bladed weapons. No.3 is relatively new, so not much is known about him... but I do hear that he is an expert at throwing small, feather-like knives... almost like a bird. No.4 is an art prodigy whose supplies are all filled with poison and explosives. No.5 isn't much of an attacker - he's more like an informant to the Seven. No.6 is nicknamed the "God of Death." You meet him, you're dead. And finally..." Aoi paused for dramatic effect. "No.7."
"Sounds pretty ominous," Yashiro stared at Aoi's flowers - Aoi was a florist who ran a flower shop and business. Her flowers were of high-quality ranging from small daisies to large sunflowers.
"It's because it is pretty ominous," Aoi laughed slightly. "Among the Seven, No.7 is the most dangerous. She's an expert marksman who has never missed a single target, and she's also amazingly strong at close combat!"
Yashiro could not help but sip her tea, trying to process all of this information.
"But I'm kind of surprised, Nene-chan," Aoi tilted her head sideways as she moved a pot of sunflowers towards a more open area where sunlight will most likely hit. "I thought you'd know about them by now, since you're a police officer."
"Well," Yashiro's face reddened in embarrassment, "I-I only started out about a week ago! And all I've been doing the past few days is help on really small cases such as missing pets or minor theft. It's not like the people at the Kamome Investigation Department have told me anything about the Seven Wonders."
"That's a shame," Aoi giggled, "at least you have me, don't you?"
"You're right there," Yashiro laughed into her teacup. "Honestly, though, how do you even know all of these rumors? Do you listen to the news, or something?"
