To escape the fate of being shattered again, the broken Dark Holy Grail tries to seduce the Holy Grail (the Book) next door, hoping to make a wish and clear its name. Unexpectedly, when two holy relics capable of altering the threads of causality meet, they trigger a time-space rescue, and the Book is flung into the hands of Dazai in the main world.
When the Port Mafia’s most fearsome executive was eighteen, he found a “book” by the roadside.
He saw countless parallel worlds, and the partings and deaths of the No Longer Human Trio.
Once the executive came to his senses, he hadn’t even had time to turn evil when he remembered that Mimic had already arrived! He had already met and become close to his two best friends! What was he supposed to do? It was too late to take the IF route now!
Fortunately, this world was very stable, and he had another option: work with the future ruler, the leader of the Millefiore Family, and keep following the Armed Detective Agency route, deceive the heavens, and save his friends!
Just as the future ruler of this world held out an olive branch to him, and the man who had become a detective was wondering how to get rid of this threat to world peace, a brat who had transmigrated from the past went and killed the future ruler.
The timelines of eighty trillion worlds were reset, and his friend was arrested as a White victim accomplice and thrown into the Vindice Prison. No Longer Human, which could erase all falsehood, became the sole weakness and opening in the reset world.
He could not be reset, nor could the world contain him. Every attempt to save anyone was doomed to fail. It was as if he had become the sole tragic-ending protagonist in a hot-blooded manga.
Later, the local version of the brat, plus a sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside streak, the savior of eighty trillion worlds, looked at Dazai gently, his eyes filled with guilt:
“Dazai-kun, can I help you?”
Please let me grant your wish. Please let me unravel your twisted causality. Please let me hold a camera and take one yellowed photograph after another of the No Longer Human Trio.
When the light and smoke have faded and the bar’s closing bell rings, you’ll return home after a good drink, while I stand on the road home and reach out to you.
The Tenth is really good at handling men who’ve grown weary of life after seeing countless parallel worlds, isn’t he? (smiles)
