My Fair Maniac

Forced to take a job at a secret organization.

Forensic pathologist Gabriel witnesses a dangerous truth he should never have seen while being chased by a thug he met on his way home from work. The man who saves Gabriel's life demands that he join a secret organization called Amwidae.

“Don’t be too sad. This is technically a government job. There’s no mandatory retirement, so you can work until you die. You’ll probably get promoted fast, too?”

The stranger, who only gets more bizarre the longer Gabriel knows him, ends up investigating a series of strange murders that shake the kingdom alongside Gabriel, and the two of them, who had only a loose superior-subordinate relationship, gradually grow closer.

“Is there anything scary to the district chief?”

“None. I’ve never failed. And I probably never will.”

“……”

“So stay right by my side. Then nothing will be scary.”

Can Gabriel really confess the life-or-death secret he is hiding?

“Gabriel, I never let go of anything I like.”

After licking the corner of his mouth, Klaus said it like a declaration.

“I don’t care if other people call it weird. A painting or a puppy, I’d name it and take care of it. Because it’s mine.”

“……”

“People are no different. Of course, what name you give them matters. But that doesn’t mean I want to keep them in my grasp and toy with them however I want.”

Klaus’s lips curved faintly.

“If I wanted to see something move however I pleased, I’d have carved a statue to my taste and made it move. Why would I hold on to a person?”

Gabriel blinked slowly, unable to follow his words. Klaus pulled Gabriel’s head, which he had been supporting, closer and lightly pressed his lips to him.

“I’ll say just one thing. You’re not allowed to run.”

After taking his lips away, Klaus smiled in warning.

“Other than that, do whatever you want. I can wait as long as it takes.”
