All Too Well | SOUKOKU

[ CODE; 011 ] A bit of kindness / The Guild

Chuuya owlishly blink as Atsushi and Kyouka stand in front of his desk, the white haired boy bowing respectfully and introducing the younger, while Kyouka simply stares at him with an unreadable look on her face.

"Ah..." Chuuya tilts his head and smiles tiredly. "So, you're telling me that... You nearly got hostaged on a train because of a mad bomber from the Port Mafia..."

[ Han Minsoo: not that you already know, it's Kajii ]

"This little lady right here was a suicide bomber..."

"Assassin..." Kyouka corrects, still distinguishing something from Chuuya's face.

"You were asked to prosecute her," both of them nods. "But didn't, and got kidnapped by Akutagawa in the process..." They both nodded again.

"But got rescued and now, you've recruited Kyouka-chan to the Agency?" Chuuya summarizes.

He scratches the back of his neck looking away from the two awkwardly, drifting his attention towards his makeshift bookmark of Dazai (the picture he took from Kunikida) was laying haphazardly on Aeri's copy of Little Women.

"I don't know why you need my opinion on this though..." Chuuya confesses. "You've both made your decision so—"

"Chuuya-san! Kunikida-san told us you were very particular of who you work with..." Atsushi cuts him off.

"Oi—!" Chuuya snaps his head towards Kunikida— embarrased— who simply raises a brow and mouths: "It's true, don't even try to deny it."

"So we're respectfully asking you to please accept Kyouka to the Agency!" Atsushi once again bows his head.

"Please!" Kyouka copies the albino haired boy.

"Of course I accept?" Chuuya assured them, although a bit unsurely. "I'm only particular with who I work with as long as they are not stinky, slimy, mackerel idiots that don't know the concept of personal space, leeches off me, makes me do all the work, is a total douche, possessive bastard even if there is no label (between us I suppose)— Ranpo are you okay? You choked on your candy, do you need water?"

"Nope!" Ranpo sang, "Aeri-chan sent me a silly meme~"

It was a lie of course, Aeri is so busy she barely even rests, don't tell Kunikida though, now HE is very particular with her schedule.

[ Nakahara Chuuya : one time Aeri was almost late for a rehearsal, Kunikida called her so many time just to scold her, give her lunch, and scolded her groupmates for following the Filipino time ]

[ Nakahara Chuuya : it was tiring but Kunikida was so happy when the Egyptian Mythology theatrical play she co-written and co-directed won overall champion ]

[ The reader that read most of the Light novels is giggling with mirth ]

"Atsushi, I'll have you and Kenji work on a case." Kunikida calls as the perky farmer boy Miyazawa Kenji walks over him with a case file.

"From the good police folks at the station." Kenji beams. "A moving vehicle exploded all of a sudden, for some reason!"

"A mystery that perplexes even the military police." Kunikida sighs, handing over the file to Atsushi. "You can't always be pampered, especially by Chuuya, work with your fellow agents like Kenji this time."

"Don't worry," the bespectacled man pats the younger's shoulder. "You'll be fine."

"I'll be there to help!" Kenji exclaims. "By the way, Chuuya-san this gift was dropped by the cafe earlier, they said it was from of your fans." he handed Chuuya a small package wrapped in black and gold.
