[Bungo Stray Dogs] The Lost One's Equation for Self-Salvation

Tanaka Yuuwa considered himself an unworthy admirer of Dazai Osamu.

At fourteen, he met Mori Ougai and Dazai Osamu.

After Dazai Osamu became the leader of the Port Mafia, Tanaka became his loyal subordinate and served as an executive.

His public codename was "Evil Spirit." His ability was unknown.

After his boss Dazai Osamu fell to his death, Tanaka was confirmed missing the next day.

Special Division for Unusual Powers, file summary: "Tanaka Yuuwa"

Before transmigrating:

Everyone who knew Tanaka Yuuwa knew that he was deeply in love with Dazai Osamu.

But Dazai Osamu had never accepted him.

Everyone, including Dazai Osamu and Tanaka Yuuwa, thought Tanaka's love for Dazai had been a mistake from the very beginning.

But Tanaka remained hopelessly devoted.

"My love is a mistake. I know that, but I'm willing to accept it."

"I don't need you to return my feelings. I only need you to remember that a man named Tanaka Yuuwa loved you deeply."

"I love you, Lord Dazai!"

After transmigrating:

Beginning:

Tanaka Yuuwa saw that familiar figure. Light suddenly returned to his long-clouded eyes. He desperately tried to see the figure clearly, but tears blurred it, turning it into something like light, something like a shadow, real and unreal. He heard a faint voice: "Mr. Dazai..."

Middle:

Tanaka Yuuwa is rebuilding his worldview. Do not disturb. Thank you.

Later:

Tanaka Yuuwa rubbed his forehead. "Is this idiot really the other half of Mr. Dazai? If I'd known Mr. Dazai was such a tasteless fool, I never would have fallen for him."

Took off the rose-tinted glasses and got his eyesight fixed (check)

The protagonist is an original character from the author's IF timeline. After Dazai's death, he transmigrates into the original story.

The author's writing is amateurish.

I wrote this because I wanted to challenge myself with a romance plot.

Only a small part takes place in the IF timeline. It opens with Boss Dazai dead, and he may be resurrected in the original story.

And now, let me tell you: the pairing is undecided (but it's probably not Boss Dazai, hahaha).

Out-of-character warning.

The plot is secondary, romance is the main focus (maybe).

Theme: Don't hang around waiting for fruit from a crooked tree.
