Chapter Text
Nobody moved for a while before Chuuya stood up from his seat and moved towards a painting at the back of the meeting room. No one knew what he was doing except for the Port Mafia Executives plus Dazai. Well...unless you counted Tobio though but none of the executives were acknowledging that. "And what is it you are doing if I may ask Chuuya-san?" Tsutomu questioned.
"I believed that the hat for brains is finally thinking about something else other than hats and wine." Dazai chirped from where his head was resting on the table. "SHUT THE HELL UP YOU UNDEAD MUMMY!! WHEN I'M DONE GETTING THIS KEY, I AM GOING TO STUFF YOU INTO A SARCOPHAGUS AND SHIP YOU INTO A MUSEUM!! BECAUSE THAT'S ALL YOUR GOOD FOR!!" Chuuya growled out from the painting that is now opened showing a safe. "Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Chuuya how could you be so violent in front of the innocent children in the room least of all Atsushi." a now standing Dazai theatrically called out with the back of his hand to his forehead.
Upon hearing this Tobio and Tsutomu continued from where Dazai stopped at. "Yeah. How dare you curse in front of such impressionable like us and most importantly to your new boss. Atsumu-nii, Atsushi-nii, please catch us for we feel like we're going to faint from the violence being told." crowed Tobio and Tsutomu before dramatically fainting respectively into both the exasperated Atsumu and Atsushi.
Meanwhile, Ryouta just took Atsushi's fan to fan it towards his poor little brothers. Yes, his poor little brothers had to hear such a violence when all they wanted was their curiosities to be sated so that the beings living in their heads would not bother them. Ryouta thought while diligently fanning the stolen fan towards his brothers while the rest of his other brothers who are looking at him with an unimpressed look gracing their faces.
In the background you could hear Kouyou and Hirostu with their heads in their hands while muttering to each other. "The new boss is just as eccentric as its predecessor." "At this point it's basically a requirement for all of the bosses to be eccentric despite young Tsutomu didn't meet Mori-sama till yesterday." Both of them just shook their heads commensurately at the future antics of their new boss. The other members of the Port Mafia just looked onto the scene before them with little to no reaction other than an ashen face at their boss's actions.
Upon seeing Ryouta actions towards the two, Ranpo decided to take the initiative and took Kunikida's ideals book to fan towards Dazai. See is he not the Greatest Detective in the World, after all he is caring for one of his co-workers. Fukuzawa just sighed at the actions by his charge son while putting his hand onto one of Kunikida's shoulders to stop him from killing Dazai or Ranpo he did not know. But he does know he wants Yosano to stop adding fuel towards Kunikida's rage of by either reminding the blonde that Dazai started this chaos or at Ranpo for stealing his book to help the former to spread said chaos.
"Okay. That's enough out of all you. Know can you please explain what's going on Dazai-san or am I gonna have to string you up like pinata while I tear your stupid suicide book in front of your very eyes." said Tsutomu. Tsutomu finally stopped the chaos once the being inside of him was satisfied enough from causing it in order not to be targeted at his house prison. While Tobio on the other hand only join in on the chaos because Fate wanted him to join in just to be close to the God of Chaos.
And based of all of the conversations in their shared dreamscape recently it seems like the deity themself had fallen in love with the entity of chaos. Fate shared with Tobio all about the time they have spent together especially about how supportive the King was to their gender. As many people would like to believe that Fate was a woman but that was simply not true for, they were in reality they were neither. Fate initially was a woman when they first appeared but overtime, they were disgusted by all of stories foretold about them.
Fate told their past to Tobio when he was still the "Child with the Muzzle" or "82" back in the orphanage. Whenever Tobio wanted a distraction, he would ask Fate to tell him about their past. Anything to distract him from the pain, the hunger and the cold from the basement. Fate had told them that due to men lusting over their figure in the past whenever they made an appearance how uncomfortable it made them. So much so they had eventually stop visiting the human world unless it was through the dreams. This is how oracles, seers, and the like started to appear but due to the nature of them not many popped up.
The only reason why they started dying off was because the Gods were furious at Fate for thinking something about their gender instead of doing their duties for the Gods and fulfilling the God's loyal worshipper's greatest desires. But all Fate had wanted was to be respected for their abilities not for their looks or doing things for them. But their abilities to remind them of past mistakes to make them stay on a good path and warn them their future if they did not change.
In the end Fate did in his humblest opinion the most badass fuck off ever sorry Kazuyo-san for the cursing. Fate changed their feminine appearance to an androgynous look all while staring them right in their eyes before clapping their hands and disappear before the stunned God's eyes or the last time. This resulted in them being forsaken by their worshippers before being left behind as nothing more than a myth.
Fate had known it would have happened, but they just could not stay there anymore without it preventing them from being their true self. And even though there are now more humans capable of foreseeing the future appeared Fate did not return to the Gods side. As Fate knew they only wanted them to return if only so that they only allowed those humans to stay for the Gods wanted them back.
When questioned by Tobio whether Fate told any of the 'Fate-blessed', as little Tobio called them, about their past. Fate informed him that they were no more for not many humans believed in Fate anymore and that resulted into them disappearing as if they were stories like the Gods, but Fate always remembers each one of them. Fate also said that Tobio was the last of the Fate-blessed left in the world for even though others may be able to copy or steal his abilities, but they will able be able to do things like Tobio does.
After meeting Tsutomu, Fate informed Tobio about the God of Chaos Tsutomu has in their head and after glancing at Tsutomu Tobio believed Fate. Tobio was the only one who knew exactly what Tsutomu went through despite that did not trust him due to the God. But after a while Fate talked to the other ethereal being beside themself and pulled Tobio into a hug telling him about the King Amatsu-Mikaboshi being the only one who accepted them other than Tobio who accepted them.
That is why Tobio got along with Tsutomu because they were practically going to be brothers when the 2 otherworldly beings inside them, whom they both saw as parents, got together they would be soul-brothers is what Tobio believes. Although Fate believed otherwise Tobio just knew the feelings were mutual between both of them. Because why else would both of them blush every time someone mentioned them being like a married couple.
Anyways enough of Tobio teasing Fate's crush on the King and back to watching Tsutomu staring down Dazai with the signature A.C.E.S closed-eyed smile. Plus, Amatsu-Mikaboshi helping him scare the man more by making Tsutomu look like a walking eldritch horror. Tsutomu's face had runes written on both of sides of his cheeks, his leaking a black tar like substance. On his hands they were lengthened to resemble more like claws while his back there were tenacles appearing out of him.
"That's a scary look you have going on there Tsutomu-kun. But since you insist the Slug is getting the 'Master Key' from the painting safe. This is key is the only key capable of opening Q's dungeons." Dazai says looking directly at Tsutomu.
But Chuuya, Akutagawa and Atsushi could just tell even Dazai was unnerved by Tsutomu's look considering he was not staring at the teen's eyes except at his general direction. Despite being able to nullify Tsutomu's ability there could be an off chance it might not work due the nature of Tsutomu's ability. Dazai thought he also had figured Tobio could prevent him from nullifying the ability. That and Ryouta or Atsumu could just copy Tsutomu's ability to do the same thing.
Luckily before the tension in the room could get any higher Chuuya finally got the key out and handed it to Tobio upon seeing his outstretched hand reaching towards it. "Look Tsutomu! I got the key to our new sibling! We finally won't be the youngest anymore!" Tobio announced jauntily while jingling the keys. After hearing Tobio's sentence Tsutomu's personality turned a complete 180 as his appearance returned to normal.
And after hearing that both Tobio and him would not be the youngest in their little family anymore. Tsutomu immediately jumped up with his fists pumped up before releasing it and tossing glitter from his hands everywhere. Which was such a complete change from serious to his regular happy go lucky self to all of them except for the A.C.E.S. The only question they have is why glitter was there all of a sudden after thinking that Atsushi answered their unasked question.
"Whenever Tsutomu is happy, he loves to toss glitter everywhere as in his words. "I want everyone to feel the same joy I do but since you and Atsumu-nii don't allow me to imagine shooting stars during the day glitter is the closest thing to shooting stars." Which while is hassle to clean, I rather not deal with the amount of paperwork I will need to help Atsumu-kun about unscheduled shooting stars happening all over the world." Atsushi grimaced remembering the first and only time it had happened and was it a rollercoaster that at the end of it did they banned Tsutomu from ever doing again.
As everyone looked at Atsumu for confirmation all he said was "Don't. Ask." which was an answer itself but all they could wonder is how much paperwork must it have been to have traumatized them badly.
Then Atsushi and Atsumu suddenly stopped and looked around before crossing their arms and smiled the signature A.C.E.S's smile towards Ryouta. They asked him at the same time "Ryouta-kun/nii you were supposed to watch both Tsutomu and Tobio and made sure they stayed here. Not watch them leave the room without trying to even make them stay here. So, when we go back to the base you are going to be cleaning Tsutomu's testing room by hand and no abilities allowed. Understood?" All Ryouta did was nod his head not regretting his decision the whole time knowing that since he cannot use his abilities did not mean he could not ask Tobio or Tsutomu to help him.
Meanwhile, at the dungeon level Tsutomu and Tobio was going down the stairs Tsutomu asked, "Do you think Atsushi-nii and Atsumu-nii know we're down here right now?" "Are you kidding of course they know I saw that Ryouta was going to be discovered to let us leave instead of making us stay in the conference room. And the punishment was to clean your testing room without his abilities, but Ryouta was thinking that they had never said that neither of us could help him with our abilities." Tobio explained. "Wow is that such a big loophole. You would think by now that they know better than to try to punish us when all of 3 of us are good at exploiting any rules or punishments." Tsutomu says surprised.
Though before Tobio could say more they reached Q's dungeon and without any hesitation they opened the door with the key before stepping inside the cell. To which they introduce themselves to the now awaken Q. "Hello chiisana-Kyuusaku my name is Tobio, and my ability's name is "Fate in Thy's Hands" and next to me is Tsutomu the new PM boss and his name is "Imagination Reigns Supreme". And from now onwards you will not stay here anymore but with us."
"And how do I know you won't imprison me like Mori or like Mr. Dazai." Kyuusaku asked with scrutiny in their voice. "Because we know how it exactly it feels to be forced to live in a prison like this and I know recently you have questioned God's love for everyone and if you let me, I will tell you the history of the existence of the Gods by someone who knows them very well." Tsutomu says while being as gentle as he can help to release Kyuusaku from his cuffs.
"And who would that be since I no longer believe in God." They pouted upset for even believing they exist. "Well, I may not personally know a God I know Fate themself who knows the past, present and future of the world. Plus, Tsutomu himself has the God of Chaos living in his head so we can tell you more about them if you would let us. If not it's fine but you will never stay here again if we can ever help it." Tobio sternly informs Kyuusaku.
