An introduction to life at Detective Agency, run by the boy detective named Detective.
On the ides of March, clouds covered the sky above Detective Agency (DA). In the comfy armchair that sat on the second floor of the DA building reclined Detective, a boy of more than thirteen years old. He had a thoughtful expression on his face, one that seemed too old and mature for a boy his age. However, this would be normal for anyone who knew him since sitting in that oversized armchair with just his thoughts keeping him company had long been a tradition of Detective, until now. Suddenly, the second floor where the armchair sat flooded with light and bursting in after the light was a young man of about seventeen years old.
"Good afternoon!" the young man greeted cheerfully and loudly in his native language. Upon seeing the boy’s annoyed expression, the young man broke into a wide smile. “Aww, have I woke Mr. Detective from his nap?”
“As a matter of fact, you did, Assistant Yun,” the boy detective addressed coolly. “Do you have my next case?” Detective inquired as a part of his new routine ever since his rookie “assistant” dropped by the agency out of the blue.
Yun let out a weary sigh, “It’s Bodyguard Yun.” He cleared his throat and begun his well-practiced speech. “The famous security expert all the way from across the desert, over the mountains, and pass thousands of wild beasts and raiders to come to protect the famous boy detective of Sentoral. For I am the greatest of all bodyguards in the land of Hua, Yun!” He continued his rant as Detective strolled over to the cabinet and left with a cup of tea.
As Yun’s voice slowly faded into the background, the young boy walked down the stairs to check the case drop-off box with his cup of refreshment, only somewhat wondering when the performer upstairs will notice that the audience had already left.
