y/n pov

waking up with an instant ache in my back, i slowly rise from my bed and stretch out my arms until it feels less tight

i sigh to myself and (very) slowly force myself out of bed and into my small bathroom

i didn't mind my space all that much, it was mine and that was all that mattered. i guess it would be nice to have a bigger space but i've been in this little apartment for almost a year now and i did not feel like changing it anytime soon. maybe a new bed would be nice though,....

after getting ready for a normal work day, i quickly make some breakfast and head out of my apartment, locking the door behind me.

i walk down the stairs and lean on the railing as i wait for atsushi and kyoka

i have been walking together with them pretty much everyday to our office since i got this job and was able to move into these small dorm/apartments.

atsushi was like my brother in some ways, he was always there for me and i the same for him. kyoka and i are definitely on good terms with each other even tho we don't talk as much, she's still the cutest ever to me.

after some time the pair come out of their shared room and greet me

"morning you two!" i saw with a smile, genuinely happy to see them both

"morning y/n! ready to go?" atsushi says and i nod. we walk to our job while maintaining small talk, luckily nothing awkward and make it on time before we would have to hear kunikida-sans endless rambling about the importance of being punctual

walking into the office i see kunikida, dazai, and yosano san all sitting close to each other on the couches

"hey is everything ok?" i ask while walking up to the trio

"y/n good, you guys made it. we just need to wait for the others and then we can start. we have a new large case for us to investigate, it might be port mafia related" kunikida explains to me quickly

i nod and go to set my bag down before walking back over to them

as we wait for the others and sigh and plop myself down onto the couch next to yosano san

"what's wrong y/n? not excited about some action?" she asks as she leans into me playfully

i smile and nod my head "no it's just, i'm afraid this is just gonna be another bust and we won't get to the bottom of anything again" i sigh out while putting my head into my hands

"now now no need to get to upset!" dazai starts as he takes off his headphones. i sigh out again and lean back into the couch

"okay let's start!" kunikida booms while dragging dazai into the briefing room

we all pile in to the meeting room and give our full attention to kunikida as he starts with a slide show

"there have been multiple incidents with small businesses and police stations getting harassed and some even destroyed with bombs it seems" he says as he shows us pictures of the said damages

"-we are lead to believe it might be the port mafias doing but the police may have some suspicions on some other criminal candidates. they have asked us to investigate several different areas so i will be splitting everyone up into teams and giving you an area to go check out. we are looking for any suspicious groups or people who you may think could be responsible for these crimes" he says while giving us all a small folder that included information about the case

"me and dazai will cover this area downtown here which was said to have the most damage done, tanizaki and kenji will go to this warehouse down here, y/n, yosano and ranpo-san will go to this warehouse down here by the river, and atsushi and kyoka will go to this part of town here and see how the business' are holding up" kunikida explains while pointing out all of our routes

before we all dispersed kunikida stops us and reminds us to "watch out for any port mafia members- they might not of given us any trouble as of lately but we never know their intentions"

i make my way out to my desk and grab a few things before making my way over to yosano

"you ready to go?" i say while smiling up at her

"yup, ranpo san lets go" she says walking away from her desk

the three of us make it to the docks by the river before ranpo san sighs out loudly

"this isn't entertaining me at all, i didn't bring any snacks with me" ranpo pouts while crossing his arms

i pull out a small candy bar from my pocket and hand it to him

"i knew this was gonna happen, sorry it's small but it's all that would fit" i say handing him the small piece of candy

he smiles and takes it from me with a "you're the best y/n!" which of course made me blush a little

"wait hold on guys-" yosano stops us as we get closer to the so called abandoned warehouse

"i think i heard something" she says as we walk closer to what looks like a front entrance

"wait yosa-" my scream out gets cut off with a large explosion at the front doors

yosano jumps backwards towards us and lands on her feet

"it was rigged" she says looking towards the door

i quickly push ranpo san behind me and ready my hands to fight just in case

"wait y/n, nobody is in there i don't think....it's just set up with a lot of traps" yosano says

"there must be something hiding in there they don't want us to see then huh?" i say balling up my fists

"let's go check it out"
