Give Me Back My Secret Identity!

[Secret Identities] [Fake, Low-Quality Tearjerker] [A Tiny Bit of Comfort] The timeline in the first few chapters is a little confusing, so please bear with it and keep reading.

Clockwork No. 10 was an overworked corporate drone, and his boss was a terrible person.

To retrieve his secret identities, his boss gave him a human body. No. 10 had never been human before, but he went along with it.

And so, the How to Pass as Human class begins!

Secret Identity One: Water Sprite

She loved making friends. Taking advantage of Yokohama's coastal location, she spent all day hiding in the sea, where no one paid attention to her.

No. 10 came up with a brilliant idea: If he gave the Gravity Manipulator to the Water Sprite, how would you deal with that?

Wouldn't the people of Yokohama be sure to hunt down the Water Sprite?

When the day came to capture the Azure Sea, she was met with the Gravity Manipulator's powerful punches.

No. 10 was baffled: Why?

Secret Identity Two: Light Sprite

Helping others came naturally to her. The Light Sprite went around granting wishes and bringing the dead back to life, plunging Yokohama into chaos.

This time, No. 10 had learned his lesson. He secretly told the Guild about her, thinking they would surely help him capture his secret identity.

The next second, the Guild's fists came flying at him.

No. 10 felt wronged: Fake kindness, fake affection, fake friends. You've broken my heart.

Secret Identity Three: Mist Sprite

She loved playing games. When she met Tatsuhiko in the middle of the night, the two hit it off immediately, and a thick fog began spreading through Yokohama.

Just as expected, No. 10 stared at the white-haired man blocking his way.

"What's wrong with wanting to get our own treasures?"

Listening to the man's accusation, No. 10 felt deeply melancholy. Why treat an overworked drone like this?

Secret Identity Four: Dark Sprite...

No. 10 felt he had done his best. If things had turned out this way, it definitely wasn't his fault.

So here's a question: If his workload were artificially quadrupled, what could he do?

He'd hang his boss, coworkers, targets, random passersby...the whole world from lampposts.

A new crisis has recently emerged in Yokohama: the Book, said to grant any wish, has gone missing.

As one prisoner after another escaped, they gradually learned the truth behind the Book's seal. It was built from one vivid life after another. The women had become the seal, trapped in the Book forever at the cost of their freedom.

Looking at the boy who carried out the cruel sealing without a clue, the people of Yokohama were furious and heartbroken. Why were they treating the women this way?

No. 10: ? What on earth are you carbon-based life-forms imagining?

Warnings: I don't know what to warn you about, but here's one anyway. This is all friendship, with no romance.

There are many sections told from the perspective of characters from Bungo Stray Dogs, so don't complain about whose story it is.

The protagonist really has it rough. He's not pretending.

Theme: Friendship
