I'm Really Not an Evil God

New novel, now open for preorders: The Gun-and-Cannon Sorcerer from the Armed Detective Agency

One day, Oda found a bloodless, tearless gemstone doll by the river.

Once human, the doll had been robbed of her body and name by an evil god.

The red-brown-haired former assassin carried her home and gave her a new name.

Oda Hotaru: pitiful, weak, and helpless.

On the seventh day of the two of them relying on each other, Yokohama was destroyed.

A certain bandage-wearing boy: Hotaru-chan, you really didn't have to go that far...

A certain psychic forced to turn back time and save the day: Good grief, outside evil gods are such a nuisance!

A ritual held in Fuyuki City accidentally drew in an indescribable entity, and the strongest yet weakest Servant descended.

Foreigner Hotaru: I have no attack power.

The Holy Grail's calamity surged forth. The evil of this world, created by humanity's own hands, resonated. Like a flood sent by God to destroy the world, disaster followed disaster.

Kariya: This is the greatest evil in the world.

Sakura: The god who saved me.

During the Warring States period, the two strongest ninja clans in the shinobi world fought each other without end. The high-and-mighty daimyo hired ninja to wage war, and human lives were worth no more than weeds in those chaotic times.

With nowhere left to turn, desperate villagers held a human sacrifice and summoned an evil god.

Hotaru: All I wanted at first was a good meal.jpg

The Divine Tree was gnawed on, and the Rabbit Goddess, roused from her slumber, went completely mad.

The Rose of the Battlefield: For world peace. So, who are we killing today?!

After a series of journeys, one evil god's fearsome reputation spread far and wide across the worlds.

Oda Hotaru, heartbroken: I'm really not an evil god!

PS: The pairing is set: Dark Era Dazai

Preorder for the upcoming novel The Gun-and-Cannon Sorcerer from the Armed Detective Agency

Blurb: As an external member of the Armed Detective Agency, Oda Kaine has been enjoying a carefree school life, all the while relishing the happy prospect of having already found a stable, lifelong job before graduating.

Until, on her birthday, she discovers that the wardrobe at home leads to another world.

The people in that other world are all pretty nice. For instance, there's a boy with a strange topknot who treats the suspicious girl who appeared out of nowhere in his wardrobe with nothing but warmth and care.

But there are plenty of strange things there, too, like the ugly cursed spirits everywhere. They're so painful to look at that taking them out with guns and cannons is surprisingly therapeutic.

Once she can travel freely between the two worlds, Kaine slips off to the other one from time to time to explore. She kills cursed spirits and saves humanity.

Shirt, short skirt, and combat boots, plus a tie, a gun holster, and a double-breasted trench coat with silver buttons... This refined girl, who inherited the Armed Detective Agency's classic sense of style, often finds the people she's about to save worrying about her instead.

Until she pulls the trigger...

Overwhelming firepower swallows everything.

The girl with a mysterious fondness for heavy weapons has finally found... a wonderful place where she can fully unleash her supernatural ability.

.

When she and her good friend Geto received an invitation from a strange religious school, Kaine turned it down. After all, she kept her life and her occasional entertainment strictly separate.

But for some reason, a group of sorcerers from the Zenin family came looking for her. First they told Kaine that what she possessed wasn't a [supernatural ability], but one of the Zenin family's inherited techniques, the [Construction Technique]. Then they arrogantly ordered her to return to her ancestral family, attend Kyoto Jujutsu High, and serve their heir.

Oda Kaine smiled and leveled the Zenin main estate with an unrelenting barrage of overwhelming firepower. Only after the Zenin sorcerers gave in did they kneel and bring her the bloodline test results...

Kaine: ???

The girl promptly turned around and went back to her own world, grabbing a certain Armed Detective Agency employee who was slacking off: "Teacher Dazai, lend me your brain."

.

The girl, not long afterward: Thanks for asking. Tokyo Jujutsu High is great. My classmates are all fun, especially that white-haired high school boy. He's so bad at holding back when we play. I like him.

What? You ask about the Zenin family? They're fun to mess with... and quick to kneel, too. After all, truth is only within the range of a cannon. So I am truth itself.
