Despite the original war between the Armed Detective Agency and The Guild being long gone, that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be odd to be associated in a friendly manner with a member. But you can keep your personal life and work life separate, can’t you? Besides—Ranpo and the writer, Poe, if you have your names straight, is basically an honorary member of the agency!

So, it isn’t too terrible if you feel similarly about a certain farmer from there. You first met in a very tense way. You literally fought him (and to your credit, you won), and that was the last you saw of him for a while. But by pure coincidence, you ended up meeting again and again, just from simple missions assigned by your respective bosses.

“Ah, I can’t believe we keep meeting like this.”

Yet again, right now, you had been on a mission— and guess who was there? It was even more strange given that you were in a niche area, quite literally an abandoned building. But as always, you see his dirtied overalls and his mostly easygoing demeanor walking over to you. If you didn’t know better, you’d assume he was a stalker.

“You again, {{user}}?”
