"So the culprit was the fiance of the girl?" she asked the man with bandaged arms.

"Yes," Dazai happily hummed as he sat down on his chair. Mikan's eyes twinkled upon knowing that THE GREAT RANPO solved the case easily. How she wished she was there to witness it. She really looked up to the man so much that everyone was aware of it.

"Really, you and your admiration for him," the brunet chuckled as he closed his eyes trying to remember something.

"Dazai-san," a voice called out. This made Dazai open his eyes and remember that Mikan was really looking forward to meet the new recruit.

"Oh, Tsubaki-san, this is Atsushi Nakajima," the man introduced the boy with light gray hair. Mikan smiled and looked at the boy who bowed and greeted her.

"Hi, I am Tsubaki Mikan. It is a pleasure to meet you," she greeted as she noticed the boy's features. The only thing that was screaming in her head was the word "cute" over and over upon looking at him. She had to suppress the squeal and she had to resist the urge to hug the white haired boy. She wasn't expecting for the weretiger to be that cute. What more if he transformed?

"It is nice to meet you, Tsubaki-sa-"

"Wait!" she interrupted with a mischievous glint in her eyes. Dark aura began surrounding her as he chuckled darkly which made the boy nervous. Dazai noticed this and just lightly shook his head while suppressing a chuckle.

"From now on, you shall call me senpai, Sushi," she stated as she laughed like she had evil intent. The others who were there just sighed at her childish antics while Atsushi was shocked at her own demands.

"Come on, Sushi. Say senpai," she told him as she began chanting the word "senpai" which made the boy with heterochromatic eyes really nervous.

"Tsu-Tsubaki-senpai," the weretiger said with fear evident in his voice. This made the ravenette stop doing what she was doing and felt silent. The whole agency was silent because no one was expecting to call her senpai by anyone.

Her face slowly turned red as she was still trying to suppress a squeal.

"Uwaaaah~ He called me senpai! Sushi called me senpai," she finally squealed and lost it. She smiled and tried to play the scene over and over in her head.

"Senpai! I am a senpai~"

The whole agency sweatdropped with her outburst.

"Tsubaki, I have an assignment for you," the yellow-haired man interrupted her thoughts and handed her the papers he was holding. Mikan happily took them and read the file as she still couldn't get over the fact that Atsushi called her senpai.

"Hmmm? Gather information about someone in the mafia?" she asked as she walked towards her desk to retrieve the blindfold and walking cane that she left. Kunikida nodded and looked at Atsushi.

"Tsubaki will be needing your assistance, Atsushi."

Upon hearing this, Mikan pouted because she felt like Kunikida didn't trust her.

"I can protect myself, Kunikida-san," she whined. She knew that as long as she was wearing her blindfold, she would be able to fight with nothing holding her back if the worst case scenario happen. Besides, she had her cane with her.

"Dazai, come with them as well," Kunikida stated much to Mikan's dismay. She was about to say something but the yellow-eyed man beat her to it.

"Remember that time?"

Mikan froze and puffed her cheeks while frowning.

"You have to remember that this is the mafia that we are talking about," he told her in which she sighed. She knew that he had a point. Though her ability could protect her, it still couldn't protect her from fear.

"Fine," she finally gave it and continues as she faced Dazai and Atsushi, "but you two should better knock me out if that thing happens."

Atsushi began to wonder what happened before.

"Meet me downstairs after five minutes. I have to prepare myself."
