The Port Mafia's steward, who has served two generations, now has a third master: Dazai Osamu.
If you're wondering why the Port Mafia has a steward, even Dazai Osamu doesn't know. Perhaps the answer goes back to the leader before the last one.
"Kuze Yuma, as a remnant of the previous boss, do you think I should kill you?" The Port Mafia's new boss, Dazai Osamu, folded his fingers together, his eyes unreadable.
"I'll leave that to you, sir." Kuze Yuma played along with Dazai's roleplay, thinking that they both knew the previous boss wasn't dead, but if his employer had a little hobby like this, he could only indulge him.
"Call me sir, Yuma. I inherited all of Mori Ogai's possessions, including you."
Kuze Yuma: "..."
I take back what I said. I don't want to play these weird games anymore!!

As an NPC in the no-romance section of a certain web-novel platform, Kuze is highly skilled at his job and has an outstanding track record.
In the harem-favorite division, he keeps the relationships between protagonists and supporting characters stable without ever crossing the line;
In the post-apocalyptic division, he makes sure the main cast survives, offering a glimmer of hope at just the right moment when all seems lost;
In the farming and infrastructure-building division, he plays the NPC who provides resources...
He has never failed in all these years, until... he enters a world called "Bungo Stray Dogs"...
There's way too much going on.
The mafia, unrequited love, love turned to hate, amnesia, running away while pregnant, and now the stepmother trope...
Life as a mafia steward is really something.

A few things to know:
Seeing that the boss is Dazai Osamu tells you this is the BEAST timeline, but it's been heavily altered, so you don't need to know the original to read this.
It's a fun and cheerful story. Everyone is happy, except Kuze, hahaha. He's out of work now.
It might contain a lot of bad jokes. The author is well aware they have no talent for comedy.
There are a lot of complicated elements, including everything mentioned above and even more. If you can't accept things like the stepmother trope, please proceed with caution.
