Mr. Nanami, Who Often Invites People to Dinner

[I've just opened a new story next door for advance collection: The Reborn Sorcerer Is Reflecting Again Today, pairing: 185. If you're interested, feel free to add it to your collection, mwah~] [Story Blurb] Also known as The Unlucky Con Artist and the Reliable Gentleman and Takizawa-kun's Silver Tongue Ever since he turned nineteen, Takizawa Kaoru's luck had plummeted below rock bottom. He went to the hospital more often than he went back to his rented apartment. On a rainy day, after his medical bills had drained his savings and his landlord told him to move out because his bad luck was a nuisance, Takizawa Kaoru met Nanami, dressed in a sharp suit, outside a club in Kabukicho. It was a club that catered specifically to men seeking male company. Takizawa had never dated a man before, but some curious ideas suddenly popped into his head. When he went up to strike up a conversation, he completely forgot to consider whether the man might just be passing by. A relationship sustained by money began. And so did a lasting misunderstanding. What Takizawa Kaoru didn't know was that when they went on “dates,” Mr. Nanami, whom he'd taken for an easy mark, would sometimes see what looked like black mud of curses oozing from the young man's body. And the boy didn't seem to notice at all. At last, one day, he couldn't hold back any longer. Nanami: “Do you know what a curse is?” Takizawa Kaoru, who had just received a text from the Star Religious Group saying, “We'll exorcise your curse for 50 million”: “...Is this some kind of new scam?” It would take a long time for the destitute puppy to realize that the rainy day he met Nanami was the luckiest moment of his life. [Reader's Guide:] 1. The protagonist has an unusual thought process and plenty of flaws [emphasis added]. He's stubborn, sweet-talking, a flirt, and a liar. 2. Pairing with Nanami. Older top, first meeting at ages 19 and 25 (adulthood begins at 18 in this setting). 3. Mostly about romance, with many alternate-universe details. This isn't for canon purists. 4. A story about a down-and-out bad dog saving a mature adult. Theme: Courage can work miracles through love.
