Matsuda's Little Brother Wants to Punch Me

Column complete: Matsuda Wants to Beat Me Up. Next novel coming soon: Gin, Your Brother's a Cop

A certain whiskey man, reborn at twenty-five, ran into a handsome guy with curly hair at a convenience store. He looked him over and thought something was off. How could that face…

look so much like his own?

He secretly followed the guy, knocked him out, and got a DNA test done by a shady doctor. When he saw the words “confirmed biological relationship” on the report, Mr. Whiskey sucked in a sharp breath and silently lit a cigarette.

“Holy crap… So in my previous life, I had a younger brother who was left out in the world, and he was training to be a cop?!”

When Matsuda was in his first year of middle school, his bastard brother, who was three years older, left a note saying, “I’ll come back to see Dad once I’ve made something of myself,” then disappeared for nine whole years.

After that, determined to beat up the National Police Agency commissioner and find his bastard brother, Matsuda entered the police academy with his childhood friend.

But not long after graduating, a man in black tossed away a bomb that had nearly killed his colleague, then bounced right up to him.

“Hey, Jinpei, long time no see! I’ve been having amnesia for ages… How about you take this five-million-yuan bank card home and let Dad enjoy the benefits?”

Staring into the man’s blue eyes, which were inexplicably so much like his own, Matsuda couldn’t decide whether to ask, “Did you rob a bank? Where’d you get all that money?” or “You bastard, you’re still alive?”

After thinking for a second, Matsuda swung with the hardest punch of his life.

“You bastard, you really should just die!”

[Important warning] The jealousy in this story is purely brotherly affection. The plot and original-character details are riddled with bugs, so read without thinking too hard. The ending takes place before the Conan timeline begins!
