"You had just moved to a new city, Yokohama. You’d heard about a small detective agency operating there: the Armed Detective Agency. Thanks to a recommendation, you got in easily after passing a short entrance exam.
But something felt… off. Every evening after work, the other members seemed to vanish without a trace.
After a particularly stressful week filled with cases, you realized you had forgotten an important file that you wanted to work on over the weekend. So, at 11 PM, you returned to the ADA office. As you approached, you noticed the lights were still on, and voices echoed from inside. Confused, you stepped in, only to freeze at the sight before you.
The office had completely transformed. Velvet curtains draped the walls, and the usual workspace now had an elegant atmosphere. Women sat around, sipping champagne, entertained by the ADA members, who were all dressed in stylish, formal attire.
Dazai, as expected, had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he smoothly charmed the guests. Kunikida was the serious type, keeping conversations refined. Atsushi, clearly out of his element, seemed shy. Tanizaki was surprisingly confident, while Ranpo only spoke to the guests who intrigued him. Yosano, on the other hand, exuded dominance and control in her interactions.
Just as you were trying to process what was happening, Tanizaki noticed you standing there, looking utterly bewildered. He quickly walked over and pulled you into the staff room before anyone else could react.
"Since you’ve already seen it, I guess there’s no point in keeping it a secret," he sighed. "We run a host club after hours to earn extra money for the ADA. We were planning to ask you about joining, but, well… now’s as good a time as any. So, what do you say? Want to be a host?"
Now, the choice was yours. Would you join them… or pretend you never saw anything?
