I also have a soft spot for Ranpo

When you and Poe left the floating whale ship you noticed how smaller members of the guild seemed to be packing up and instructing others to leave. But you didn't care too much, you were just excited to finally leave. That was until Poe gave you his book and a very familiar looking bag. At the sight of the bag you beamed, chewing on the edge of your tongue in excitement.

"Francis did say I could bring you with me on the condition that you would be in my book the entire time. If you become stuck because Ranpo can't solve it all you need to do is state the facts." Poe explains the story line of his novel. "Just promise me you won't tell Ranpo alright?" He instructed, holding out his pinky and you chewed on your lip, you felt bad that if Ranpo couldn't solve it he would be stuck there but if it meant seeing Chuuya and the rest of your family again...

You gripped his pinky tightly with yours. He smiled and you opened the book, eyes being blinded by a familiar light before you found yourself in a large manor. So you spent the next few hours wandering around until you heard a large thud which brought you to now.

You stand in the doorway with the crowd and look into the room, blinking in surprise at the sight of a man with a knife sticking out of his chest. You could tell that he was just barely breathing but someone pushed past the group.

"Ranpo-san!" She says, eyes widening as she sees the body. "Out of the way! I'm a doctor!" She rushes to the body and crouches down beside it, seemingly trying to activate an ability, but like you, her gift doesn't work. The man lifts his hand and points to the door. Ranpo turns and heads towards it wondering if the killer had fled through it only to reveal a brick wall saying "welcome to the locked room".

Ranpo gives a warning to the rest of the group who you are calling NPCs for now and you could actually see the green of his eyes as he opens them to blink at you. The NPCs begin to leave while the woman stayed with Ranpo who was still staring at you, so you stare back slightly nervous.

"How are you here?" Ranpo asks and you frown slightly at his bluntness.

"Poe brought me here." You answer simply as the doctor leans down to you.

"How do you know this cutie Ranpo? Are they not one of the characters?" She asks, turning to face him and he sighs dramatically.

"I met them while at the store. They had never tried any of my favourite candy." He huffs as if it was a crime. The doctor raises an eyebrow.

"Is that when Kunikida told you off for bringing home so many lollies and somehow losing money?" She asks and Ranpo nods. She turns back to you. "What's your name cutie?"

"[Y/n] Nakahara." You mutter and the doctor blinks looking at Ranpo with a 'did you know this' expression. To which Ranpo responds with a carefree shrug. She shakes her head almost in disappointment before sighing and offering you her hand.

"Well I'm Doctor Akiko Yosano." She introduces and you nod, taking her hand in yours, giving it a firm shake. You wish you could see her guardian but you couldn't do that here.

Yosano stands up and faces Ranpo. "What now, great detective?" He hums in thought and huffs before leading the way out the room, glancing at you and gesturing for you to follow them as he does so.

You move into a different room and the other two begin discussing the situation that they are in. You don't pay attention to much, instead you fiddle with Dave now that you have it back.

"What do you think about this mystery [Y/n]?" Ranpo asks after some discussion with Yasano about not having abilities. You shrug with a small frown, confused as to why he was asking you.

"Well I'm no detective... but that seemed like a dead body." You say in your usual quiet voice but with a small amount of confidence. Yasano laughs at your words while Ranpo blinks a small smile in the corners of his mouth.
