After racking up an astronomical debt during the Shibuya Incident, Fujimaru Saku has no choice but to open a Heroic Spirit agency to pay it off. The only employee is himself, along with a bunch of secret identities.

Fujimaru Saku: Thanks for asking. Our main business is selling chocolate. Our side business is saving the world.

Customers from other worlds: It's perfectly normal for a chocolate shop to sell ice cream and cake. We can even just about understand selling daily necessities and dolls. But how do you explain selling lethal weapons and elixirs of immortality?

1. The Knight Whose Reason Evaporated

"This must be fate!"

Dazai Osamu exclaimed in a lofty, singing voice, then clasped the girl's hands with deep emotion. "Fate brought us together. We are destined to be soulmates, and to die together!"

The pink-haired girl nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, let's die together!"

"I don't mean to come between you two..." Edogawa Ranpo crunched a piece of candy and swallowed. "But are you sure this person is really a woman?"

"...?"

2. The Ripper Who Longed for a Mother's Love

"We are Jack."

After reciting a spell-like passage, the young-looking Heroic Spirit gazed at the Port Mafia boss with clear, limpid eyes. "Please take care of us, Mama."

Mori Ogai, who was already raising a little girl: "..."

3. The Valkyrie with Poor Eyesight

The beautiful, melancholy Valkyrie murmured softly, her expression dazed and sorrowful. "There's no mistake. You are my beloved... Ah, at last I've found you...!"

"...But I only bought a pair of glasses?!"

4. The Detective Skilled in Ba Liu Technique

"That's common knowledge, my dear friend."
