The Two or Three Things Between a Huabobo Cub and the Sister-Obsessed 'Verlaine'

Content warning: The protagonist is an ordinary person. She experiences panic, anxiety, and fear, as well as fearlessness. Her character was shaped in a peaceful era, so she has an instinctive aversion to violence. She is not an ally of Nakahara Chuuya, but an independent, clear-minded individual searching for her own direction amid confusion.

A little out-of-character premise: Reality is shattered, reborn as a nonhuman, and the long road to godhood stretches on and on.

An innocent Atsushi, a redeemed Dazai, a natural-born detective, and the repeatedly attacked, half-informed and half-decisive detective agency: a mobile human-shaped nuclear bomb is adorable.

The chaotic Port Mafia, Mori the old man searching for the optimal solution, Chuuya caught in a dilemma, Verlaine without the slightest hesitation, and Kouyou watching the show: "Wow! A newly reborn gravity user! Let's snatch them and raise them..."

The Pentagon: Please speak up for me, thanks!

The alliance of victims continues to grow. In the main story world: the Combination acts on its own and loses the "White Whale." In the if world: the British-French alliance is robbed of "The Great Command" by the ability entity "Rimbaud." In the reincarnation world: the little Japanese nation suffers divine punishment and can never rise again...

Nakahara Nozomi (Si Rong), an artificial ability lifeform, is confused and struggling to survive: Who am I? Where am I? What is going on? Help! What a terrifying world! My head is spinning, my heart is exhausted, and I'm falling apart. Saving the world sounds worse than just lying flat forever

Bonus scenes:

Main story world

Executive Verlaine: "A stiff, amnesiac 'Rimbaud.' Whoever's partner this is, come claim him already. But a sweet, adorable little sister? My counterpart's little sister is my little sister too. I'll raise her first!"

Executive Chuuya: "Big bro, get a grip. My sister isn't a pet. Kidnapping instead of buying is not okay!"

Ghost Rimbaud: "My dear friend, you've finally come out of the basement to get some sun. I'm so relieved!"

Little Nozomi: "...You awful brothers."

Reincarnation world

19-year-old "Verlaine": "Has anyone seen my little sister and my partner? If you have, give them back to me, or don't blame me for getting even, "

19-year-old "Rimbaud": "My dear friend, what if I told you that reading your sister's transmigration across worlds was an accident? Would you believe me?"

Little Nozomi: "This is so frustrating. My biological brother is only four, and my partner is a control freak. France, how could you be so cruel?"

*

"Young Dazai": "Did you fall from the sky? Are you a god? A fairy? An ability user? Or am I seeing a ghost?"

"Teenage Dazai": "Miss Transcendent, you played with my feelings and used me to get the [Book]. Fine, you didn't bring me with you, and you left without a word. But how could you let that old man find me a foster father, send me to the detective agency, and leave me to be disciplined by an even older man? That's just mean!"

Little Nozomi: "Your values are all wrong. I'll find someone to straighten you out. If you can't be fixed, then never mind."

*

"N": "You artificial human, you're still alive?"

Little Nozomi: "The unrepentant little Japanese nation deserves to rot, stink, decay, fall into ruin, and never be reborn."

If world

Boss "Dazai": "The person destined to save the world has appeared. We can hand the responsibility to someone else. Time to lie flat and do nothing, Chuuya, get your dog away from me! You're so noisy!"

Executive "Chuuya": "Die a little later. Let me get my revenge first, then we'll talk. I'll arrange your funeral 'properly'!!!"

Ability entity "Rimbaud": "My dear friend, although I'm dead, my will lives on. I'm preparing a huge surprise for you. You'll be happy, right?"

Assassination King "Verlaine": "My little brother is underdeveloped, my dear friend is overdeveloped... Why was I even born?"

Little Nozomi: "This is so grim. It's truly a world of despair!"

Distorted world

Guoguo: Quietly adds fuel to the fire. Either I become a god or I die. Playing the big bad is so satisfying.

World Consciousness: "Demon... This isn't a villain's behavior, this is the rampage of a destroyer of worlds! It never ends! Boohoo, "

Little Nozomi: "What a mess. This is what happens when you make someone who wants to lie flat and do nothing struggle to survive."

Real world

Guoguo: "Sorry, I can't pull off a zombie stunt in the morgue."

Si Rong: "It's fine. I'm going to be reincarnated. Bye-bye."

World Consciousness: "Damn this little world! Why does my little one have some strange new energy? Hurry and send them through reincarnation to wash it away!"

P.S.

The heroine is a female, reincarnated, parallel-world, enhanced counterpart of Chuuya. She's a seemingly emotionless little girl.

Supporting-character pairing: If there is one, it can only be Ranpo and Verlaine, and there is absolutely no switching roles. I would never ship Rimbaud as the bottom in this lifetime! Rimbaud is stern, gloomy, and a battle-hardened warrior.

The story involves the main Bungo Stray Dogs story, the if timeline, the if timeline's own if timeline, and a little of the worldbuilding from the author's completed novel, The Artificial God's Ultimate Overtime Journey.

P.S.

The previous protagonist: Guoguo, male, age unknown, youthful appearance, an immortal witch who once was Black No. 12.

Guoguo's full name is Tan Guo, a homophone of the word for candy. The full name can mostly be ignored, but it will be mentioned in this story because I suddenly realized I could tie it into the past-life-and-present-life plot and wrap things up, while also bringing good fortune to this novel's heroine. When countrymen meet abroad, they happily return home together. The stories will link up directly later, but it won't matter much if you haven't read the other novel. Just take a look at its completed-novel blurb and you'll understand!

Actually, there are quite a few aliases too. Friends and family affectionately call her Guoguo or Tang Guoguo. For various reasons, her formal name is buried deep in her memories.

The story will continue to call her Guoguo by her nickname. If that bothers you, please don't read. Although most of the author's writing is pretty serious, I really do love cute, heartwarming stories with a cozy family atmosphere.

Theme: Stay positive and surpass yourself.
