After Agent Akai Was Laid Off

Could a star agent like Mr. Akai really get laid off?

Yes. He can.

When a new president took office, Akai Shuichi, the eldest son of a family of spies, a sniper, and a Japanese-British agent, was suddenly fired over the phone while pursuing the remnants of an organization.

Wait, we haven't caught them yet... You don't need to catch them anymore!

But public safety in America is only... That's not your problem anymore!

Then what about my salary and bonuses... They've all been doubled and wired to you already!

Akai Shuichi packed his bags and left, tears in his eyes and a fortune in hand. Where should he go on vacation first?

After thinking it over, he decided that coming back from a trip only to run into dead ends looking for work would be pretty humiliating. Why not take this chance to experience an ordinary life and find a career that suited him?

He had good reasons for choosing Tokyo as his destination. He knew the people there, and his younger sister was still studying in Beika, so they could look out for each other. Besides, several friends who had fought alongside him were also from Tokyo. He could see what they were up to and how they were doing.

As an elite FBI agent, finding a job among ordinary people should be a piece of cake

Huh? What? The plane's landed, and he sees his own little sister flirting with a female classmate?

Huh? What? He's settled in Tokyo, and now he attracts the remnants of the organization like bees to honey every day?

Huh? What? He's found a job, but what do you mean you don't need me anymore?

I got laid off again?

Is his new life a little too disastrous? Helping his senior colleagues with their troubles, maintaining his good reputation among ordinary people, catching the organization's troublemaking remnants, and uncovering the truth behind the mysteries around him: even if his position gets cut, Mr. Akai is still quick on his feet and sharp-minded, and keeps finding new jobs. A happy, ordinary future: there's only ever one.

Content warnings:

1. This story uses the two-person theory for Shuichi and Subaru: after faking his death, Akai borrowed Subaru's identity. Please enjoy their strained coworker relationship.

2. Characters may be out of character. Everyone plays the straight man, and there are gay jokes, lesbian jokes, and all sorts of silly gags.

3. Many characters will appear, including canon couples, original characters, and plenty of made-up backstory.
