Not even a little bit! [Dazai declares... or bemoans, practically, which probably doesn't lend it any credulity. That said, it's not entirely untrue. He's just of two minds, here: he'd rather do nothing, but doing nothing is not an option; he wants to fulfil his contract, but he's also not sure how much he needs or wants to work for it. (Yes, he wants his reward, and he would do literally anything to get it. But that doesn't mean he likes being used this way, lured in with promises that may or may not be fake.)] But it's not like we have enough money to live a life of leisure, either.

[He doesn't really want to work, but he also can't not work, for reasons of livelihood and contract fulfilment both. It's complicated!]

Just fine. [He doesn't manage to sound much more than bored. Sure, he's settling in. That kind of thing is probably easiest when you never fit in, anyway!] This place isn't so different from what I'm used to. Apart from some of the inhabitants, that is.

[No youkai, where he's from! Not beyond fairytales, anyway. Still, his world had some weird things, too, and he's just rolling with all the weirder aspects of hell. They're already in hell; what even does he have to worry about?]

Yourself?
