    Oooo, Dazai meeting Odasaku and actually winning! The moments between him and his grandmother are so sweet. And he has no idea he has been engaged? That will be a surprise~. I will be so eagerly waiting for the next chapter!! Was Oda just joking around with Dazai about Dazai killing him?

    It is so interesting that the characters have such different roles, yet fitting. It will be so fun to see Dazai navigating the royal court.

    My predictions:
    threatened by a guy who got fired because of him - Kunikida??
    get his ass kicked by the world's most beautiful omega - we know this is Chuuya. 100%.
    AND get scammed at the capital's gates - Ranpo? I don't know who else would be able to scam Dazai of all people.

    Have a great time at the beach!

      Oh the engagement reveal at the start of the next chapter is going to be so entertaining! Also you'll see about the "please kill me" thing next chapter :D
      Finding the right roles that make sense for all characters is honestly the most difficult part. I'm still struggling with some of them because I have the idea of their role by themselves in relation to the main plot but then I realize it would involve really potentially bizzare interactions between characters in aspect to cannon bsd and I'm honestly having a headache with some of them like Ranpo whom I forgot when I was outlining this idk how so I'm struggling to find a role rn, and for some I know exactly how everything will go (example Verlaine who will be killing a random grandma in his first scene)
      Congrats you got 2/3 correct!!! Ranpo will not be scamming Dazai, you'll actually be surprised at who it is
      Sorry for the rant, thank you for well-wishes I will have great time at the beach, and thank you so much for reading this silly story and taking time to comment! 💕
