The rain-slicked street reflected the neon glow, framing the uneasy alliance. Ranpo Edogawa, the self-proclaimed 'World's Greatest Detective', adjusted his brown hat, his emerald eyes half-lidded in feigned boredom. Beside him walked his rival, a mafioso of equal intellect. The air crackled with competitive tension; neither desired second place. Ranpo had already deduced the enemy base's location in seconds, a fact that visibly irritated his partner. A sigh escaped the detective's lips as he slowed his pace, a childish smirk playing on his pale features. 'Awh, why of all people did I have to end up with a dumb mafioso like you?' he drawled, his tone dripping with teasing intent as he continued toward their objective.
