After Moving in with Dazai

After outlasting the previous leader, Jingmu Shuo Ye successfully backed the new leader's rise to power.

She thought she'd have a smooth path to a promotion and a pay raise, becoming the new leader's trusted confidante. But at that very moment...

A well-connected newcomer arrived out of nowhere.

...Oh, it was that boy from the rumors, known as the "leader's dagger," named Dazai.

As soon as Dazai joined the organization, he pushed Jingmu Shuo Ye aside and became the person closest to the leader.

Faced with this well-connected newcomer, Jingmu Shuo Ye could only give way.

Not to mention that her usually sharp intuition kept warning her: don't get too close to him.

But after keeping her head down and working diligently for three years, Jingmu Shuo Ye didn't get a promotion or a pay raise...

Instead, the worst possible outcome came to pass.

One day, Mr. Mori asked her with a smile:

"Jingmu-kun, could I ask you to provide close protection for Dazai-kun?"

No problem

Yeah, right!

She's an undercover agent sent by the Special Division. Protecting Dazai, an executive, would be walking right into a trap!

Worried that close contact would expose her identity, Jingmu Shuo Ye decided to strike first and make Dazai keep his distance.

On the first day of close protection, she pinned him against a wall, her breath brushing his lips as she put on a flirtatious, teasing air.

"The night's long, and I'm stuck here with an executive... Surely you'll give me something in return?"

When Dazai didn't answer, she leaned in until she was almost touching the corner of his lips. Her rising, teasing tone faded between their near-touching lips.

"How about... the executive himself..."

But instead of reacting to her provocation, his brown eyes lowered halfway, and he smiled with an elegance that didn't match her impression of him.

"My pleasure, Miss Scarlet Witch."

...Wait, this isn't right. Weren't you supposed to be uninterested in women?

Tips:

1. Contains a lot of headcanon and major changes. They're a pair of idiots who only talk big and have no actual experience.

2. The author is a delicate little cuckoo who just wants to hear people praise Dazai. Comments that aren't kind to Dazai will be eaten, but Dazai praise is very welcome!

3. Weibo: @Douqi, Have I Written Properly Today?

4. Cover layout by teacher Mo Hei Bu Pa Hei from Xiaohongshu.

5. I'll add more if I think of anything else.

6. The title and blurb are provisional and may change, but the premise won't. "25/08/22"
