Hang Out with the Hounds, Go Hungry Nine Days Out of Ten

*It's mostly about a couple's everyday life. Every part of the plot is an element of the main characters' roleplay. Morishita Hazuki, a core member of the Special Division for Unusual Powers, is sent to infiltrate the Hunting Dogs and investigate Fukuchi, who is suspected of being the leader of the Decay of the Angel. Hazuki: "I'm applying to join the Hunting Dogs. Let me introduce myself. I can't use a sword, I have no talent, I'm sickly, I eat a lot and do little work, and I sleep until noon every day." Fukuchi: "You're being a bit presumptuous. This isn't a retirement home." Hazuki: "But I have information about the leader of the Decay of the Angel." Fukuchi leapt to his feet and slapped the table. "The Hunting Dogs needs talent like you. You're in." Tachihara and the others were baffled. "What happened? How did he get in?" * The undercover mission was long and dull. To infiltrate the Hunting Dogs more smoothly, Hazuki decided to start with Tetchou, reputed to be the strongest of them. Tetchou was an ascetic straight man who knew nothing about romance and was easy to fool, making him the easiest target. * In the first week, Tetchou received a bouquet from Hazuki. Tetchou: "What's this?" Hazuki: "A Valentine's Day bouquet symbolizing friendship." * In the second week, Tetchou received a diamond ring from Hazuki. Tetchou: "What's this?" Hazuki: "A diamond ring symbolizing friendship." * In the following week, Hazuki tossed a little red booklet into Tetchou's arms. Tetchou: "What's this? Why does it say 'Marriage Certificate' on it?" After a long moment of thought, Tetchou nodded impassively. "I get it. It's a marriage symbolizing friendship." Hazuki: "Exactly." That very night, however, Tetchou locked Hazuki in his room and had a grown-up conversation with him. By morning, Hazuki finally understood. "Damn it, I got played." Tetchou: "You thought I didn't know anything?" *A bunch of weirdos going about their daily lives in the Hunting Dogs. Coming soon: On the Possibility of Arahabaki's Escape Theme: Be a good person.
