My Childhood Friend's Bandages Became Sentient

My new novel, Yokohama Idol Group: Online Strategy Guide, is now available. Add it to your bookmarks if you're interested. What's it like to have a childhood friend? Thanks for asking. I'm in Yokohama, just got off the plane. After graduating from college, I gave up the family business in the capital and my sect's affairs so I could work in the same city as my childhood friend. I started from scratch in a port city. To see my childhood friend every day, I set up my company near his workplace. I often drop by, bringing him more business. I became not only his landlord, but his boss's landlord too. I've even prepared a mansion for him, ready for him to move right in. And yet my childhood friend's attitude is always impossible to read. To sum up my feelings, I'm conflicted. Very conflicted. I, Xiyue Xiao, Lord of Hachihara, Colorless King, am once again sighing over my childhood friend in Yokohama. Just then, a certain bandage-wearing man walked by and stepped on me. God watches over the humans it cherishes At every moment Inside this humanlike shell It remains silent Until it descends from its throne O humankind Since you dare wish for a god to become human You must pay the price Awake and lost in a dream of this oxidizing world* (*Adapted from Dazai's line: "Let me wake from this dream of an oxidizing world.") Reading guide: 1. The protagonist starts out max-level. Pairing: Bandage Freak. 2. This is my take on Dazai, with a mountain of original details. OOC warning. 3. First person, happy ending. 4.
