## Synopsis

Cid Kagenou wants nothing more than to play the role of a mastermind lurking in the shadows—and by sheer luck, the evil cult he invented for fun turns out to be real, making his every ridiculous improvisation look like genius. This season sends his Shadow Garden into a lawless city ruled by dangerous monarchs, with the awakening of an ancient Blood Queen on the horizon. The joke never gets old: Cid thinks he’s pretending, everyone else thinks he’s a legend, and the gap between the two is comedy gold.
