[Hikaru No Go + The Morose Mononokean + Natsume's Book of Friends] Soul Pact

Serious blurb: A washed-up monster novelist who debuted four years ago is secretly the master of the Monster Lodge, taking on commissions from monsters?! He grew up in a world of monsters and longed to fit into the human world as an adult, but was forced to take over the Monster Lodge and earn money to raise a child... On his first day in Tokyo, he runs into a host-club-looking landlord on the street. To save money to raise the child, the protagonist, Minamoto Masasuke, ends up living with a man?! Alongside going to school every day, he writes manuscripts, shoots videos, and earns a living, all while taking on monster commissions and getting into trouble. Then one day, he encounters a ghost from the Heian period, and Minamoto Masasuke starts bringing customers to the Monster Lodge again...

*I started rewatching Hikaru no Go over summer vacation. I mainly wanted to write this story for Sai, so that Hikaru and the others could have no regrets. I also really like Seisai, and hope he won't be alone before meeting Hanae. Natsume is a gentle boy, and I want to give him a little human warmth, at least during his childhood. This is a light crossover, with monsters appearing. It's not a long story: eleven chapters and two bonus chapters. It's complete, with one chapter updated each day, so feel free to read. If you like it, please leave a favorite and a comment! Favorites and comments keep writers going. The protagonist is an original male character, paired with Ogata. The main themes are striving and redemption. Sai's story is the main plot.
