The sequel is out! It's under the name "Untouchable".
                          
Will you...keep this promise?
                          
"(Y/n)-san!" Atsushi called out her name cheerfully when he saw her walk through the door of the Detective Agency. "And...Dazai-san?!"
                          
His wide eyes travelled from their linked hands to Dazai's grin to (y/n).
                          
"I told you this would attract their attention," (Y/n) averted her eyes away.
                          
"But isn't that what all lovers do to express their love?" Dazai looked at her innocently.
                          
That caused her to facepalm mentally.
                          
"Well well well, I knew it would turn out this way," Dr Yosano came into the room, smirking. "I told you didn't I?"
                          
"Yosano-sensei, you knew about this?" Atsushi gawked at her.
                          
"Learn to be more observant, brat," Kunikida interrupted.
                          
"Kunikida-kun! You knew too?"
                          
"Everyone knew about it except you," Ranpo took out the lollipop in his mouth and spoke up. "Like Kunikida said, you should learn to be more observant."
                          
"Ehhh..."
                          
(Y/n) chuckled and was about to walk up to Atsushi when she was roughly shoved to the side, making her fly a few paces to her left. An explosion sounded and an audible crack was heard as clouds of dust could be seen from the wall she stood in front of just seconds earlier.
                          
When the dust settled, Dr Yosano shakily stood up. She was bleeding badly. The cloth, together with the skin on her right arm had been torn off and the dark crimson liquid flowed from the laceration, staining the white material.
                          
"Yosano-sensei!" (Y/n) scrambled up to support her. Dr Yosano shook her head.
                          
"Ugh! I-I'm fine. This is nothing," She clenched her fist and forced out the words out through gritted teeth.
                          
Kunikida walked towards the dent in the wall. There, was a small object stuck in the wall, together with a note.
                          
Eyes quickly scanning the messily written scrawl, he tore the note pinned at the sharp end of the bullet-like object and passed it to Dazai.
                          
「 The bloodbath will continue. We await the day the world is cleansed from the blood tainted by sinners.

"So it's another declaration of war, huh?" Dazai's smile had disappeared and he narrowed his eyes at the note. He remained deep in thought, thinking to himself.
                          
"Oi Dazai, what's this white substance?" Kunikida forcefully pulled out a cylindrical-shaped container, as small as the size of a bullet, buried in the wall.
                          
Dazai glanced up from the paper and his breath hitched. Running towards the man, he shouted, "Throw it out! It contains coma-inducing gas!"
                          
Too late. Before Kunikida could process Dazai's words, the white substance was released and diffused into the air.
                          
Everyone in the room started coughing violently. One by one, the people in the room collapsed. Feeling a sudden lack of air, (y/n) clutched her throat. Her body hunched over and her knees gave away.
                          
Dazai, unfortunately, had also breathed in the air that was mixed with the poisonous gas. Body limp, energy drained and air supply cut off, Dazai's head rolled to the side. He stretched his hand towards (y/n) and uttered something before waves of black covered his vision.
                          
"He's back..."
                          
The end, is just the beginning.



                          
❝ Of course you deserve to live. It might not seem like it now, but someone will eventually come to you and need your help too. ❞
