[Bungo Stray Dogs] The Voice of a Mermaid

In a world where supernatural abilities exist, people seem to accept them as a matter of course. No one seriously wonders why abilities that defy the laws of physics exist, or why some people have them while others do not.

If abilities arise at random, and humans can possess them, what about animals? Can anyone have two abilities? What would happen if abilities had minds of their own? What if an ability's desire to survive conflicted with its user's? Can abilities be transplanted?

"Excuse me. Who are you, sir?"

"The Clock Tower's Round Table."

The origin of supernatural abilities, the circumstances behind the founding of the Clock Tower, an ancient prophecy, a fated outcome...

All the truths gradually come to light across the land of Hakodate, accompanied by a mermaid's song.

This is a story that the Armed Detective Agency's famous duo, Kunikida Doppo and Dazai Osamu, couldn't save, even after more than ten years of growing through hardship together.

Set ten years after the original Bungo Stray Dogs story. The main pairing is the original characters Tsuji Hitoshi x Tsushima Shuji; the secondary pairing is KuniDazai. Kunikida and Dazai are in their thirties, and Tsushima Shuji is more or less their adopted son. For the broad setting, see the story already published on Jinjiang. Please note that some details may differ from the previously published version.

The Clock Tower appears, and there are tons of headcanons!!! Plot-focused story, written purely for my own enjoyment.

Theme: Can people with supernatural abilities and ordinary people live together in peace?
