I woke up to the sun shining straight at my face. It wasn't the most pleasant wake-up call ever, but it told me I had things to do today.

I made my way out of bed and to my kitchen. I put together a small breakfast, so I had something to start my day. I made some (tea/coffee/etc) and went to the couch. I was scrolling through the T.V. channels when something on the news caught my eye.

It was about a mysterious explosion by one of the train stations.

I turned off my T.V. and went to the café. When I walked in, it was a lively atmosphere as usual. I went to my usual spot.

"Hey, (L/N)!" I heard Dazai call out as he made his way over to me.

He slid into the seat in front of me while Kunikida followed behind him. I waved to both with a smile.

"So, since it's a new day, do you want to come and meet the Agency members?" Dazai asked me.

I shrugged. I suppose it wouldn't hurt.

"Yeah, I guess so," I replied.

"Great, let's head upstairs," Kunikida said to us.

I followed both of them up to the fourth floor and stopped at the door of the Agency.

I read out the kanji on the door to myself, then stepped back so one of them could open the door.

When I walked in, I saw a bunch of empty desks with papers and books all over them. There were only two people there, surprisingly.

I walked in nervously behind Kunikida and Dazai.

"Oh? Who's she?" A young-looking man said with his mouth full and various snacks all over his desk.

Another boy looked up from his desk. He looked young and had blond hair with a straw hat on his back. He was wearing blue overalls. He looked like a young farmer.

"Is she a new member, Kunikida?" The blond-haired boy asked.

Kunikida nodded and moved so the two could see me.

"Hi, I'm (L/N) (Y/N)," I said to them confidently.

The guy with the snacks smiled.

"It's nice to meet you, Ms. (L/N)! I'm Ranpo Edogawa, the world's greatest detective!" He told me triumphantly as he continued to eat his snacks.

I smiled at him and waved.

"The world's greatest detective?" I asked.

He nodded. "Yup! I can solve any case in an instant, thanks to my super-cool ability, Ultra Deduction!" He took out a pair of glasses and showed them to me.

"Wow, that's a super impressive ability," I told him.

"It sure is!" He said happily as he went back to eating his snacks.

I turned to the other guy in the room.

"What's your name?" I asked him politely.

"Oh, hi, I'm Kenji!" he told me with a smile. "It's nice to meet you, Ms. (L/N)," he added.

I nodded. "It's nice to meet you too, Kenji," I said.

The silence in the room broke when Kunikida's phone went off.

"Hello? This is Kunikida speaking,"

"Okay,"

"Alright,"

"Sure. Bye," he finished.

Everyone looked at Kunikida quizzically.

"We have a job?" Dazai asked him.
