Cosplaying Dazai, with Zhongli as My Bestie

This arc is almost finished, so everyone who's been waiting for it to pile up can start reading with confidence.

One sunny morning, he was still a handsome, dark-and-twisted cosplayer. He could pick locks, dive underwater, fight hand-to-hand, and toy with people's hearts. But why was he suddenly expected to do the Traveler's job too?

Faced with the Overlord of the Vortex, he looked at the toy gun in his hand. There was no time. Dazai-san, just grit your teeth and go for it.

Three old friends reunite in Teyvat. Roommate Number One, Tartaglia, laughs hysterically. "Why did I become a villain? Hahaha! I finally get to look cool piloting a mech!"

Roommate Number Two can't quite get the hang of his xinxin skill and often spins himself dizzy.

Roommate Number Three... Roommate Number Three is drinking tea and listening to opera.

Roommate Number Four, the shameless Dazai, is saving the world.

Ah, the world is doomed!

When we're fighting, Tartaglia, go easy on me. When we're saving people, Xiao, hurry up. When you're treating us, Zhongli, make sure to invite me. That's the kind of understanding good friends have.

The four of them went about their business and completed one world-saving mission after another, until one day the four real protagonists hurried over from the Abyss.

In a daze, they discovered that Liyue had become the strongest of the seven nations, Tartaglia was defecting every day and sending Liyue piles of money, Adeptus Xiao was working the fields at full intensity around the clock, and Zhongli... Zhongli was roaming the mortal world with their central figure, Dazai.

But when Dazai looked at the person before him, who was exactly like Zhongli, he wondered: if this person was his best buddy, then who was the Zhongli he'd been sharing a bed with? Huh???!

*The Zhongli pairing will not change, so don't worry.

Recommending my next novel, Straight Guy Player in a Detective Conan Romance Game

A science-based ABO romance. An 18+ niche restricted game is now live, and players can choose their favorite alpha or omega to pursue.

There are four alpha love interests on the main route.

Each one is more perfect than the last. Number One is mature and cautious, Number Two is an information-and-athletics type, Number Three has a cooking skill, and Number Four is good at sniping.

Players can freely customize the characters' pheromones.

1. Cedar and tobacco (A blend of cedar and tobacco, this cool, elegant scent is the emblem of an aloof beauty. Chilly yet rich, intense yet distinctive.)

2. Caramel coffee (Sweet as a caramel cake. Dark skin holds a spicy allure, and a warm, comforting chest gives you the cozy feeling of being wrapped in syrup.)

3. Sea salt (A delicate, gentle, calm, and accepting scent of the sea, shining like moonlight.)

4. Curry milk (Everyday foods can combine to create a unique character. Even a cool, aloof sniper has a domestic side. Really, won't you consider it?)

However, the gunfight and suspense tags catch the eye.

"Got it. This is a gunfight game."

System: "No. This is a chaotic, terrifying game that brings together all the author's kinks. It's a game on a perverted level, created for romance."

I don't get it. Whatever. I'm upright and have nothing to fear from my shadow. As long as I'm straight enough, it won't affect me. I might even be able to turn everyone else straight! I have to play this gunfight game.

Rei snipes from 800 meters away. He claps with delight. "You're amazing, bro."

Bourbon gathers intelligence. He showers him with compliments. "So cool."

Scotland cooks. He hugs his bro. "With you, all four seasons are warm."

Then one day, his coworkers say, "You smell so good. Can I smell you?" He shoves them away. "Coworkers, that costs extra. Just kidding. I don't sell my body or my skills. Men, keep your distance."

By day, Rei catches him and suppresses him with his pheromones.

At night, after soaking in rich, heady pheromones, he's rubbed at the nape of his neck by the gentlest Scotland.

Then Bourbon gathers him in his arms, sweet fragrance filling his nose.

Even when he's away on a business trip, the cool, elegant big brother hauls him around. He's completely lost face.

A terrified player, put through endless torment: I'm straight! I'll fight you bunch of gay guys!

At long last, he finds the game's exit button and crawls out of the game. He does the whole three-step routine: cancels his account, deletes it, and blocks it.

One day, the game world and reality merge. Remembering the paper characters he'd abandoned, the player decides to visit Tokyo. Just then, he gets an invitation to meet up from Bourbon's wife. He makes his way over at a leisurely pace, only to crash into a scorching embrace.

A tall figure, a solid chest, and an oppressive presence closing in with every step make his scalp tingle.

Heh heh, you finally decided to come back...
