   Summary

   Takayanagi Kyoichiro swears he's not suicidal, he's simply a suicide enthusiast. He can admit, however, that suicide via carbon-monoxide poisoning might have been more pleasant than getting flattened by a 600-pound truck.

   Ah, well, he's here anyway, he might as well enjoy the happy retirement life he didn't get to have before.

   Unfortunately, he has landed right in the middle of wartime, and there are homicidal ninja coming in for his advice. Just because he was a high school counselor and teacher who knew how to deal with emotionally unstable teenagers doesn't mean he actually enjoys the job, so please go away, thank you.

   TLDR; A former assassin-turned-ethics-teacher reincarnates into a world of ninjas and decides to enjoy retirement. However, these trigger-happy ninja won't leave him alone...
