a/n: Real quick, from this point on, it will follow the anime adaptation of these events rather than the light novel. It just fits better with the plot I have in mind.

Thank you and enjoy!

(Y/n) ran along the harbor, pulling on her raincoat as her boots squeaked slightly against the damp pavement. She had been informed by Dazai to go to one of the parking lots near the harbor—which was next to a chemical plant that would cause a lot of destruction if blown up.

This place should work, she thought as she slowed her pace, nearing the car that housed the bomb they were all so worried about. Just like Dazai said, the bomb is right here.

There were two officers from the bomb squad division standing there, wearing protective gear as they held up shields. They turned back to her as she drew closer, one of them putting up their hand as a way to signal for her to stop.

"Please stay back, ma'am!" he yelled at her, making up for his voice being muffled by the gear. "There is an explosive here, please evacuate from this area immediately!"

(Y/n) pulled out her identification from her pocket, holding it up as she got closer. "I'm Detective (Y/n) (L/n), I'm with the Armed Detective Agency. I'm here to contain the bomb in case it does explode."

The two bomb squad members looked at each other, stepping slightly aside as (Y/n) began to walk towards them again. She put away her identification, shoving it into her pocket.

She took a look at the bomb, watching as the timer continued to count down—the sun getting closer to setting in the distance. She thought as she looked at the bomb, No wonder those members were so nervous by the way they looked. This is a pretty complicated and strange bomb.

"What do you plan to do to keep it contained?" the second bomb squad member questioned. "Are you a bomb specialist at the agency?"

(Y/n) chuckled, shaking her head. "No, I'm certainly not."

The two members shared a similar worried look, their nerves only intensifying by this comment. (Y/n) put her hands up, reassuring them, "But I am trained to deal with this sort of problem—this isn't the first bomb I've had to take care of."

She proceeded to pull up her hood, looking over to the nearby water. She turned back to the bomb squad members, telling them, "Please step back, unless you want to get really wet."

They did as she asked, growing more confused than nervous at that point. She turned to the water, pointing her hand towards it as she said, "Special Ability: The Beauty of Water: Ryuji—I summon you!"

The nearby water began to glow, a circle forming as it separated into a spiral-like shape. Continuing to spin and spin, the center end emerging and beginning to form into Ryuji's head, his body soon following the action.
