Mr. Undercover Discovers My Weakness Is an Act

[This story will update twice a week for now, but I will finish it.]

Working overtime late into the night can lead not only to sudden death, but also to transmigration.

The moment office drone Kurihara Natsuo opens his eyes, he's become a new recruit at a mysterious organization, facing a terrifying entrance exam!

Shooting, hand-to-hand combat, making explosives by hand... What office drone knows how to do any of that?

Under the examiner's dead-eyed stare, Kurihara flops into the arms of a righteous colleague.

"Bro, let's team up for missions!"

Kurihara clutches his chest where the other man "hurt" him, coughing up "blood" as he speaks, so weak he looks ready to drop dead at any moment.

Righteous colleague, Public Security undercover agent, Suwa O Hiromitsu: ...

*

The day he chose to go undercover, Suwa knew how dangerous the organization was. But on his very first day, he punched his opponent into "critical condition"!

The organization wouldn't recruit a useless person! This guy must be faking it. He's definitely suspicious!

Supporting Kurihara Natsuo, who has latched onto him, Suwa grows ever more wary.

Later, when the police corner them at a love hotel:

Suwa says through gritted teeth, "This is my partner..."

Kurihara immediately buries himself in Suwa's arms with a "bashful" look, his acting completely convincing.

Police: ...In broad daylight? You're really into some unusual stuff.

When Gin suspects Suwa of contacting the police:

Suwa frantically thinks up a way to explain himself.

But Kurihara's face instantly turns red. He grabs a police uniform and dives into Suwa's arms. "Oops, you've found out. It was me."

Suwa: "...It's a kink."

Gin: "...Fuck, you queers."

Suwa squeezes his eyes shut:

Couldn't we come up with a more respectable plan?

And Kurihara...

Next time you beat your target three blocks down the street with a spiked club, you don't have to hurry over to me to cough up blood and play dead.

I'll just close my eyes.

He even starts getting used to writing in mission reports: "My partner is frail, but works well with me..."

And gradually, he gets used to trusting Kurihara with his back in life-or-death situations.

In the darkness of night, with no one the wiser, he indulges Kurihara's increasingly "bold" reliance on him.

1. I've revised the title and blurb a little.

2. As the title says, the pairing is Hiromitsu.

3. Just reserving a spot for now.

Next story: "Shoyo's Twin Brother Zenitsu". Instead of killing demons, he's killing it at volleyball.

Zenitsu was abandoned and left to wander from a young age.

His extraordinary hearing left him surrounded by people's rejection, disdain, and betrayal. At last he found a beloved grandfather and teammates he grew close to, only to watch them leave one by one.

Zenitsu: Maybe I'm just not meant to be happy.

Later, he saves the people he cherishes, then dies just before happiness is within reach.

Zenitsu falls into darkness with both gratitude and regret.

He never expected to wake up again.

*

Zenitsu is reborn as a member of the Hinata family.

Parents who ignore his protests and insist on hugging him every day; a brother who chatters around him all day, even louder than he is; and an adorable little sister who always brings him sweets.

It's so happy he could cry.

The only problem is that the whole family has orange hair!

Zenitsu's yellow hair trembles as he draws his "sword": Muzan's plot! Begone!

Shoyo comes home, sees his brother acting weird again, and pulls him into a big bear hug!

Zenitsu: Help!!

Shoyo: Zenitsu, come play ball with your big brother!

Zenitsu: Big brother?

Zenitsu freezes.

Shoyo hugs him and shakes him around.

Zenitsu cries.

Why? Why is this "demon's" inner voice so captivating? It's as if he thinks Zenitsu is some kind of treasure!

Zenitsu's "sword" falls to the ground.

For his big brother, he'll play ball!

*

Later, he steps onto the court.

"Boom!!!"

Ushijima's serve tears through the air like Muzan's claws, making everyone's blood run cold.

Zenitsu breaks down screaming.

Zenitsu takes off running: "It's Muzan! It's an Upper Rank demon! Help!!"

Shoyo chases after him: "It's a volleyball! Don't be scared, Zenitsu! Big brother's right here!"

Spectators: ...What just flew past us?! Was that lightning?!

Ushijima: ...At that speed, which one of us looks more like a demon?

*

A pair of unlikely twins join Karasuno's volleyball club, and the team's overall atmosphere changes dramatically.

The composed captain shouts every day: "Zenitsu!! Your spikes are great! You don't have to close your eyes like your brother!!!"

Kageyama, with no teammates behind him, ends up unable to catch up with his teammate: "Idiot Zenitsu! Who can keep up with you running that fast? I can't set the ball if I can't see you!"

Sugawara has his hands full keeping him in place every day: "Zenitsu! Don't be scared! We're right behind you!!!"

Karasuno's opponents are baffled:

"How did he return that tricky ball?! Does the yellow-haired kid have eyes in the back of his head?!"

"Why are the yellow-haired kid's spikes as scary as lightning?!"

"The yellow-haired kid won, right? Why is he crying in his brother's arms?"

Zenitsu crouches among his teammates, rubbing his head against his brother's chest, with all their concerned thoughts filling his ears.

Zenitsu smiles to himself without a sound.
