meet this guy

Atsushi pov:

It's been weeks sience Mr. Poe went missing, Ranpo san didn't really file a missing person report but the people who work along side Poe had, seeing as to how he was absent with no calls no report, they ask the police and well, missing posters are everywhere but still not a single clue as to where he is, Rampo san on the other hand... Has been going threw some difficulties... It seems to be a little bit harder for him to pin point where the kidnapper really is... I never seen him so stressed out before... He even seems so... Afraid...
Wow... Never did I thought I use "Ranpo" and "afraid" in the same sentence... Normally he's very confident in his own ability... But now... He's struggling to find a missing person and to whether think how he's going to save him without putting anyone's life at risk... Honestly who could actually abduct a ability user? Another gifted maybe?









Atsushi: Yosano san I really don't get it... What is Ranpo san so worried about?
Yosano: *sigh* truth is Ranpo used to investigate a criminal orginasation back when he was a kid
Atsushi: a criminal orginasation?
Yosano: yes he said they were a group of skilled criminals who went under code names of different kinds of alcohol, these guys are like phantoms, they know how to erase their tracks very carefully... They caused Ranpo quite a great amount of trouble for... Hmmm... Idk 4... Maybe 5 years?
Atsushi: back when he was a child?!
Yosano: yep Oh you should have seen the news article about him!
Atsushi: ehh... Wow...
Yosano: anyways, basically it seems Ranpo suspects those guys had somehow out ran the police and FBI and come here to kidnapped Poe, he could have track them down but problem is, these guys are more dangerous then the Port Mafia, if he wants to face them alone he needs to be careful or innocent bystanders could get involved...
Atsushi: oh gosh...









There was a knocking at the door, the door opens and it was Mr. Kunikida













Kunikida: Ranpo san... There are some clients who wish to speaks to you
Ranpo: ugh seriously? Kinda busy here! Tell them to come back some other time!
Kunikida: they said its urgent
Ranpo: Fine let them in









Mr. Kunikida steps aside and we saw a tall blonde guy with red eyes in blue suit standing next to a beautiful but at the same time very creepy woman with long purple hair











Ranpo: uh... Wow Look who we have here... It's a half Brit... Hey there... Hakuba Saguru
Hakuba: it's a pleasure to meet you Rampo san, you seem to know me?
Ranpo: you are a detective somewhat famous in Japan and England after all
Hakuba: hahahah right... Let me introduce you to my friend here Koizumi-
Koizumi: I can introduce myself just fine thank you, greetings sir detective, my name is Koizumi and I am a certified witch, it's a pleasure to meet you
Ranpo: . . . . What
Atsushi: a witch???
Yosano: *wheez*
Ranpo: hey pal dose your friend here needs to go to a mental hospital or something? I know we live in a world of some population having abilities but a witch??? That's a sad joke emo girls make in their teenage stage
Koizumi: 💢
Hakuba: ah sorry she just likes saying that a lot
Ranpo: mhm so what do you both want to discuss with me about that has to be sooooooooooo urgent?
Hakuba: we're here bcause we need you to find someone...
Ranpo: who exactly?
Koizumi: a old classmate of ours, Kuroba Kaito












Hearing that name send chills down Ranpo spine... It unease him at where this conversation is ahead but he kept his cool










Ranpo: what about him?
Hakuba: I'm sure you have heard of the great magician phantom thief  Kaito Kid yes?
Ranpo: uh huh, heard the guy was chased all over the globe only to retire, must've got bored
Hakuba: not quite, it is to my speculation that our old friend is actually Kaito Kid
Ranpo: and so what? You want me to prove your silly little theory to be true?
Koizumi: no, we need you to track him down
Ranpo: eh not interested, that sound like a lot of work, besides isn't he retired? I'm not into bringing retired people in jail just becaused of their past, sorry pal you came to the wrong guy
Hakuba: no I'm afraid that's not what we ask of you either
Ranpo: than what, just get to the point your story is boring me to sleep
Koizumi pov: is this man a child?!
Hakuba: I need your help to track Kuruba down so I can help him
Ranpo: hmm? Help him? With what?
Hakuba: here read this











Hakuba san gives Rampo san a news paper, he reads it and his eyes was shock wide open so I slip in from behind and look to see the news cover the story reads "Kaito Kid returns to Japan, seen blowing up a building full of innocent citizen"












Ranpo: what... I thought he doesn't hurt people
Hakuba: precisely, despite the fact that he announced hes retired and that he does not hurt people... And Only steal gems, made this news article unbelievable but it is indeed true
Ranpo: what's with the get up? He normally wears white dosent he? This looks more like a imposter then the real deal
Koizumi: yes, we didnt believe that was him at first either but it is my belief that he is under a spell! 
Ranpo: get real, can't you read the room
Hakuba: ahem what she means is that he might have been hypnotized by someone
Ranpo: oh yeah? Any guess who?
Hakuba: actually I do












Hakuba san takes a picture out of his vest and puts it on the table to show Ranpo san but all I see is a dark figure standing in the darkness with 3 glowing red eyes!












Ranpo: what the...
Hakuba: this is Spider, I have little to no knowledge of his real identity  nor about the organisation he works for but I have a few small info about him, and hypnotizing his victims is 1 of them
Ranpo: so you believe this man is the 1 who hypnotized your friend and made him a terrorist?
Hakuba: precisely, it could only be him, sadly I never seen it for myself but I heard of how his victim behaves under his control, they have no memory of their past or their real identity and only listens to the one who is controlling them, their eyes turn red, their face pale as a ghost, I was not able to see it for myself because normally after he is done with his victims he would make them fall off a building... Making it look like a suicide...
Ranpo: tsk...
Hakuba: he's approaching Yokohama Rampo san, I don't know what he's after or whatever Spider wants from him but he's coming, so plz help us find him














Rampo san puts on his glasses and open his eyes, than he stands up with a serious look on his face as he looks at the 2 in the eye, I thought he was going to tell them where their friend is













Ranpo: fine... I'll help you find him
Yosano: woah...
Ranpo: but on the condition that I'll do it alone, I can't afford having any distractions along with me, especially little witch creep here
Koizumi: 💢
Hakuba: understood, we will wait for your good news Ranpo san















They both walk out of the door and left than Rampo san sat down in his chair thinking as he sighs heavily and held his head in his hand












Yosano: oi... You heard what they said about the guy right? Your not seriously going to do it alone are you?
Ranpo: I am ... I have to... I owe it to him...
Yosano: and what than? Even if you do find them you can't just walk straight to their face with no powers no weapons! We won't even know where you are to save you!
Ranpo: then don't, like I said I'll do it on my own! Tsk... I have to... Or else he'll...
Yosano: *sigh*

















Rampo san walks out of the door and the room felt horribly quiet, than I felt a hand on my shoulder, I look up to see Mr. Dazai, he looks... A little serious... Its scary whenever he actually does this...




















Dazai: best not to question it Atsushi, this is Ranpos fight, not ours
Atsushi: but I don't get it, normally Ranpo san just go straight to the case without a second thought right? What's so dangerous about those guys? I'm sure we faced allot more dangers for Yokohama before
Dazai: exactly "we" not him, Ranpo san is perfect for deducing plans, deducing murder cases but he's not well versed in combat, if we were to interfere with his affairs, we will only give him more burden, it's best if he does this on his own















I quietly look at the door of the agency as Mr. Dazai said that... He's not wrong... We might become a bigger burden if we try to help Ranpo San but... Are we just going to let him walk into danger just like this?
