[I Turned into a Monster and Took the Graduate School Entrance Exam] Ongoing~

An abnormal fluctuation in supernatural abilities has struck the Land of the Rising Sun. The Detective Agency and the Mafia have found their only breakthrough: a little girl named Anya, who can read minds. But before they can make contact with their target, they accidentally turn into...

Eggs! So many eggs!

The Hat-Wearing Executive: Kid, I'm just passing by.

Anya: No, Anya heard that you came here on purpose!

Atsushi: Big brother grew up in an orphanage too. I'm lost and really pitiful. Could you take me in?

Anya: You can eat three bowls of ochazuke in one sitting. Anya might not be able to afford to raise you...

At last, a miniature Dazai hatches from his egg. Looking at Anya's half-lidded, dead-fish eyes, he smiles and tries to speak: Perhaps you've heard of a Guardian Egg?

Anya's eyes sparkle: Waku waku!

Everyone: ...

And so, thanks to his ability being ineffective on himself, Dazai can't be read by Anya and spends his days conning people out of food, drinks, and children.

#Born an Egg, I Apologize# #The Second Son Is Still Winning Himself Over Today#

[Highlights!! Notes]

* The main characters are Anya and Dazai. Anya's pairing is the Second Son. The main story focuses on their affectionate everyday life, while the sweet romance after they grow up will be in the extras. The main plot comes first.

* In this setting, Anya's superpower is also a kind of supernatural ability. The story takes place just after Anya starts school, around episode 7 of the TV anime, after Anya apologizes to the Second Son. What happens after that diverges from the anime.

* Yes, it's exactly the Guardian Egg you're thinking of.

* I got into the series through the anime and don't know the original manga very well. OOC warning, and lots of original settings.

* I'm studying for the graduate school entrance exam. If there's a ranking, I'll update according to it. Without one, I can only write after finishing my daily study goals, so updates are unpredictable. I'll do my best to keep them steady QAQ (They've been pretty steady so far.)

① [After Taking Dazai to the Hospital, I Became OP [Mainly Bungo Stray Dogs]]

Tian Ya abandoned her fanfiction. The next day, her home inexplicably became a shelter for transmigrated fictional characters, and she even ended up taking a certain Dazai, smiling despite being covered in blood, to the hospital.

[System: You need to earn the fictional characters' favor. Once you have enough, you can send them back to their original worlds.]

Tian Ya waved the System away and continued with her internship.

Earn their favor? This is the real world. Staying alive comes first!

Later...

A certain Dazai used toilet paper as bandages every day.

Chuuya bought all sorts of impractical hats.

Every morning, the sound of a certain one sharpening her blade woke them right on schedule.

Every night, they had to keep an eye out for the vampire eyeing the goldfish.

Unable to take it any longer, Tian Ya dumped them all at the daycare center where she was interning.

And so, whether they were Mafia big shots or female assassins from another world, they had to obediently line up with baby bottles and help raise the little ones.

Tiger Taro X: Awooo~

*

Besides the fictional characters, Tian Ya noticed some changes in her world too.

For instance, she had never known that Neighbor 1 had two dragons, that Neighbor 2 lived with two ghosts, or that the little shrine she passed every day, which looked like a toy, really did enshrine a god of calamity.

Most extraordinary of all, she could even see all sorts of curious "creatures."

Wow, did she become a god?!!!

But after she crushed a teacup in one hand and looked at the human children around her who needed to be handled with care, she suddenly felt that this might not be a good thing...

*

Dazai came to this world on a mission. If he could get a human girl to willingly sign a contract with him, he would be able to die successfully and revive someone from his own world to take his place.

At the time, Tian Ya, who fit the requirements, stood by the river. In the dusk, strands of golden light wound through her hair, as if in a dream veiled by mist.

She turned around, weariness from the day still on her face, but her smile was like the last brilliant gleam of the sunset.

She said, "Dazai, welcome to the real world."

* Fictional character shelter (×)

Fictional character retirement home (√)

* Tian Ya X Dazai, they win each other over

* The heroine is still a student, doing an internship in her third year of college

* A funny, lighthearted, heartwarming story, with lots of sweetness

② [The Prison Guard Doesn't Want to Join the Decay of Angels]

I, Senjima Rui, was put on trial for accidentally killing a criminal. During the trial, I was also forced to join the Decay of Angels because they wanted to squeeze every last bit of work out of me. By the way, other than knowing the name Decay of Angels, I know absolutely nothing about them.

I'm now a prison guard. Every day, my job is to chat with the prisoners and provide psychological support. The two who give me the biggest headache are a Russian man who's supposedly very kind, and someone called Dazai, who keeps trying to confuse me with all sorts of flowery talk about dying together.

Later, the prison kept getting more crowded.

There was Natsume, who came along with a yokai from another world, and the Red King, who kept saying he'd already died.

Are modern people's psychological problems really this serious?!

Ah, when will this wretched prison life finally end?

*

People from different worlds suddenly discovered that, at crucial moments, they would transmigrate to a strange place. It looked like a prison, but there was always a girl tirelessly helping them solve their problems.

She must be an angel! She has to be!

Senjima Rui: Hurry, hurry, next problem! The sooner we solve it, the sooner you can get back to your worlds! Hey, don't give a hardworking employee more work out of nowhere!

A shout-out to a friend's new story, [Inuyasha: The Nameless Detective, Yashahime]. The author's logic and writing are both nice. If you like Inuyasha, give it a try~
