A Yokohama Dad's Daily Life of Writing Books

[Thank you to everyone supporting the official release! My upcoming novel, Is This Still What You Call a Saint?, is on my profile. Please add it to your reading list~] ● Starting tomorrow, I'll be a happy person ● ● Be a father, write novels, save the world ● Oda Sakunosuke died with a dream of becoming a novelist, carrying the regret that he had never managed to reach the loneliness in Dazai's heart. After being reborn, though, many things no longer added up. He had become an employee of a detective agency, gained paper-doll friends from the Odd Jobs shop, and the number of children he had adopted was rapidly increasing. Some of the kids practiced "Water Breathing," while others trembled as soon as they heard the word "shipment." As for him, he seemed to have a small problem: he had lost some important memories, and needed to find a way to get them back. He could live with all that, but why had the person he'd thought about until the day he died stopped drinking at Lupin Bar and become the leader of the Port Mafia instead?! "Dazai, it's windy on the rooftop. Come down already. Let's go home and make firm tofu together." This world is one enormous illusion, a lie that could be pierced with a single poke. Someone holds the ultimate truth in his hands and is willing to give everything to protect the lie, exhausted and on the verge of collapse. Someone else sits before the [Book], pen in hand, determined to make the lie real. ● A few things to know: 1. The pairing is the deeply troubled, withdrawn Dazai from the alternate timeline. Readers generally feel the story leans toward Oda and Dazai. They save each other, and it's sweet enough to bring you to tears. 2. Even readers unfamiliar with the alternate timeline (the BEAST world), the world with "Water Breathing," or the world of "shipments" should still be able to follow the story. 3. There are extensive coming-of-age scenes for the Rashomon boy and the Moon Beast boy. 4. This story greedily tries to be heartwarming, sweet, serious, and hilarious all at once. 5. Complete, with a capital-H Happy Ending! ● My completed novels, please give them a read: Oda, the Boss, Never Makes Sarcastic Remarks: A school story where teacher Oda is thrown in at the deep end, transmigrates between worlds, and becomes the boss. Why Is Lord Ubuyashiki Like That?: The noble-hearted leader of the Demon Slayer Corps is actually bound to a [Traitor System]. How is this villain supposed to lose? ● Please add my new novel to your reading list! I need help in this time of crisis. Click to save it, and when I start posting, I'll crown you my favorite child! Is This Still What You Call a Saint?: Not a single word out of her mouth is true, yet every hero calls her a saint. Synopsis: The world is about to end, but there is no hero who can step forward to save it. That's because heroes are the darlings of fate, and the vine of fate has already withered. A white-haired girl walks out of the ruins, a tiny sapling that sways without any wind cupped in her palm. Her eyes are pure and innocent, like an albino fawn in the forest. She says, "I'm a saint who can gather heroes. Is that true or not?" She says, "Secret identities? Bloodline suppression? Play the pig to eat the tiger? Those things definitely have nothing to do with me. I'm just an ordinary, completely human girl." She says, "I can't fight, I can't heal at all, and I'm no good at support either. But I'm very good at surrendering and running away." She says... An aging hero says, "I survived only thanks to Xing Yichun." A limping hero says, "I defeated my powerful enemy only thanks to Xing Yichun." An unlucky hero grits his teeth and says, "I agreed to be this unlucky hero only because of that wretched Xing Yichun!" Xing Yichun protests innocently, "Actually, I'm just like a stray cat wandering from place to place, putting on a show for everyone I meet and meowing for food. Sometimes I do good deeds, sometimes I tell lies, but I've never meant to accomplish anything as grand as saving the world." * Then the day the world's destruction is fated to arrive. A vast torrent of flames pours down like a flood, and the heroes gathered by the saint fight with all their might to save the world, only to fall just short. As people despair, the white-haired girl climbs the sacred peak, plants the newly born vine of fate, and lifts the collapsing sky screen with one hand, bringing all things back to life. Everyone: "..." "..." "You said you were just an ordinary human who couldn't do anything?!" Xing Yichun turns around and blinks her golden eyes, which cannot be extinguished and are exactly like those of the Creator from tens of millions of years ago. She smiles shyly. "Ehehe, I was lying to you~" Please add my profile to your favorites~ I'm really looking forward to it! Weibo: @WritingWithScallionsAndCabbage Theme: Love and salvation.
