Chapter 32: Return Pt. 3

When he finally pulled away to catch his breath, both of you opened your eyes. It was easy to tell that both of you were equally shocked.

"I can't believe I did that," he breathed out, taking his hands away from your waist so he could fix his hat and attempt to hide his blushing expression.

"I can't believe you did that too," you lightly chuckled, taking your hand away from the back of his head. "It felt a bit sudden but... I suppose I enjoyed it." Your cheeks felt hot, and you were quickly aware it must've been because you were blushing.

"Oh," he responded, his face just as flustered as yours. "I'm glad," he laughed, letting out one of his rare, joyous smiles. "So... we really should hang out away from the cafe soon..."

"Definitely!' You exclaimed, "how about we grab dinner sometime later this week?"

"That sounds wonderful," Chuuya replied.
Everything felt so right, leaving you confused and worried. You were confused by your feelings, and yet at the same time you couldn't help but be scared about the future. You thought to yourself, if it's this good right now for everyone, things can only get worse...

If only you knew just how right you were.

President Fukuzawa's Final Report on the "Spectre Case":

With (Y/N) (L/N)'s safety secured, the Spectre Case ended without further conflict.

Afterwards, a report came in from Mori that Yurei Kutsuki would be gone thanks to a certain mafioso named Ryunosuke Akutagawa, the same man who almost killed Atsushi and the Tanizaki siblings. By "gone", we can only assume that the mafia took care of him in their naturally violent ways.

With (Y/N)'s return, Doppo Kunikida got some much needed sleep. Osamu Dazai finally regained a bit of his humorous personality and finally got to cleaning his room. Ranpo Edogawa seemed less mentally exhausted and his usual instant case-solving skills returned. Akiko Yosano returned back to her place to continue healing people at the agency and Atsushi Nakajima was no longer tearing up the moment he entered the workplace. Things are getting better.

One thing I'd like to mention for later reference is one of my employee's weird behavior recently. He's somehow gotten weirder ever since (Y/N) has come back. Recently, Junichiro Tanizaki has been getting more and more distant from his sister, Naomi Tanizaki. He looks puzzled about something and has started muttering to himself. He's also frequently spacing out and staring at random people in the agency sometimes, especially at (Y/N).

However, I've decided to not worry about him just yet. I'm sure it's just work stress or something that will only take Tanizaki a week or less to fix.

Something I have come to realize with (Y/N)'s momentary disappearance is how much our mentality depends on them. We all care too much about each other, and with the obvious tension between several of my employees and them, only bad things can happen to my employees if something bad happens to them. I believe that my employees will refuse to let them vanish like that ever again.

We are now entering a period of peace, I believe. Perhaps I shall allow my agency members more time to rest soon. Today is one of the days when I'm glad to be the person I am today instead of the person I was before.

Little did Fukuzawa know that next day would be the day Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald met with him. Not only would Fitzgerald make Fukuzawa feel uncomfortable, but he also brought with him the first major problem the agency had yet to overcome...

(A/N): Hello everyone!! I hope you enjoyed the thirty-second chapter!

To anyone wondering, yes, I did just Google the most expensive flowers in the world... if you want to go search up how much those are, have fun LOL (it's insane how much a real one of those flowers costs).

Also I saw one person worrying in the comments in Chapter 27 that the reader might not thank Chuuya and stuff for everything he's done for them. Like... hell no they're going to thank him. How else could I set up the endless amount of angst in the future? Heheheh...
