An Ordinary Person’s Guide to Spoiling Detective Conan

This novel will go VIP on July 15, with updates of ten thousand characters a day. Thank you for your support.

Mizuyuki Rei, female, transmigrator.

Her ideal life: lie flat as she grows up, coast along until she dies, and be a happy ordinary person in the Detective Conan world.

Until

Aunt Mitsuki next door died.

The wife of the old family butler died.

The pottery shop owner died.

Her childhood friend Nanako was left without a trace of her body.

At last, she understood: in this two-dimensional world, being an ordinary person is no guarantee of survival. It just makes you the perfect expendable victim for a plot-driven death.

So she made a decision that went against her laid-back nature:

Spoil the plot! Spoil it like crazy!!

Tell Furuya about the Organization, tell Morofushi about his fate, tell the police academy group about the future!

Furuya: So we all die in the future?

Mizuyuki Rei (dead-eyed): Of the five of you in the police academy group, one survives.

Morofushi: ...Who?

Mizuyuki Rei: Your childhood friend.

Furuya: …

Morofushi: What about me?

Mizuyuki Rei: You go undercover, get exposed, and die in the line of duty.

Matsuda: Me?

Mizuyuki Rei: A bomb explodes.

Hagiwara: Me?

Mizuyuki Rei: Also a bomb.

Date: ...

Mizuyuki Rei: A car accident.

Furuya: So I survive, and the other four...

Mizuyuki: Right. You spend the rest of your life tending their graves.

Everyone fell silent.

Mizuyuki Rei (shrugging): Don’t look at me. I’m just an unlucky person who wants to be ordinary. The plot keeps trying to kill me, and there’s nothing I can do.

Later, she ran into a certain long-haired, black-haired sniper.

Mizuyuki Rei: You’ll be an FBI agent in the future.

Akai: ...So?

Mizuyuki Rei: Have you considered going to the police academy?

Akai: ?

Mizuyuki Rei: Really, you haven’t? The pay and benefits are great, and you could work with Furuya.

Akai: ...I’m going to be in the FBI. Either I’ve lost my mind or he has if we’re going to be coworkers.

Mizuyuki Rei: I know. But don’t you want to experience the thrill of going undercover in a spy-versus-spy game?

Akai: ...

Mizuyuki Rei: Fine. I was just asking.

Akai never did go to the police academy, but he did end up with a bunch of friends who loved stirring up trouble.

One day, the police academy group and Shuichi Akai cornered Mizuyuki Rei against a wall.

Furuya: Didn’t you say there’s a high school student named Kudo who’s the protagonist of this world?

Mizuyuki Rei: ...Yes.

Morofushi: Didn’t you say he’s been turned into a child and is going by the name Edogawa?

Mizuyuki Rei: ...Yes.

Matsuda: Didn’t you say that if we scare him, we can get some interesting reactions?

Mizuyuki Rei: ...What are you planning?

Hagiwara (smiling): No, what are you planning?

Akai: Mm...

Five minutes later.

Mizuyuki Rei was carried by a group of people and shoved toward the gate of Teitan Elementary School.

Furuya: Go on.

Mizuyuki Rei: Go where?

Morofushi: Go spoil the plot.

Mizuyuki Rei: ...Have you all gone crazy?

Date: Don’t you like spoiling the plot? Here’s your chance.

Shuichi Akai (standing off to the side with his arms crossed): I’m just here to watch the show.

Conan came out with his schoolbag on his back.

Mizuyuki Rei was pushed forward and met Conan’s puzzled gaze.

Mizuyuki Rei (expressionless): Great Detective.

Conan’s eyes widened in shock: !!

Mizuyuki Rei (still expressionless): Kudo Shinichi.

Conan: !!!!

Mizuyuki Rei glanced back at the five grown men and one FBI agent desperately holding back laughter in the corner, then sighed.

[Reader’s Guide]

1. The heroine really does want to lie flat, but the plot won’t let her. She saves people by spoiling the plot, giving the police academy group the answers in advance to change their fates.

2. The heroine is unconventional. She doesn’t have a character-growth arc; she’s already set in her ways from the beginning. She periodically lies flat and occasionally goes a little crazy, but at heart she’s an ordinary person.

3. The opening is in the first person because it’s a diary; the rest is third-person omniscient.

4. Pairing: Furuya. No secondary pairings.

5. The story puts the original characters first and won’t torment the leads without reason, aside from unavoidable plot points and foreshadowing. My protagonist loves the original characters as much as the author does, so don’t expect them to steal the spotlight or become the center of the world. Please read only if you’re okay with that.

6. I’ll add more if anything else comes to mind.

Two upcoming novels:

[Upcoming] Detective Conan romance: Bourbon’s Daily Life Raising a Child

Arisu Tsuki is a second-generation transmigrator. To put it simply, her mother was the heroine of a novel. Unable to put up with the male lead’s utter stupidity, her mother completed her cultivation journey, used a trick to escape, and came to the modern world where Arisu’s father lived.

Arisu died in the line of duty during a mission. Thanks to a life-saving treasure her mother left behind, she transmigrated to another world.

At first, she thought she was an undocumented outsider in a different world. Then she searched her backpack and found a police ID bearing her name: [Arisu Tsuki, 22, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Public Security Bureau...]

My mom is incredible. She even arranged an identity for me!

While trying to extract information at a bar, Arisu and a certain Public Security officer accidentally fell victim to the same drug. With no way to develop an antidote in such a short time, she had a brief fling with the handsome man.

Later, with a chance to return home, she hurriedly left him a flower as payment and irresponsibly slipped away.

Five years later, Arisu once again died after getting carried away in this world. The world’s consciousness kicked her out, and she took her child with her as she left.

*

A certain blond waiter at the Poirot Café was being besieged.

“Brother Amuro, is Arisu really not your baby?” Ayumi asked sweetly.

“And you look so alike, too. Blonde hair, golden eyes, dark skin. You’re obviously related.” Genta stated with great conviction.

“Being a mixed-race person like Brother Amuro is pretty rare. Arisu clearly inherited your genes.” Mitsuhiko made a scientific argument.

“So, is Arisu the child of Brother Amuro and Sister Tsuki?” Conan Edogawa got straight to the point.

Amuro Tooru himself: ...

The little one gazed up at him with a beaming smile. Aside from the color of the child’s eyes, every feature was exactly like his, and the child grinned broadly at him.

Amuro Tooru couldn’t help looking toward Arisu Tsuki.

She sipped her lemon tea. “Hi. Long time no see.”

[Upcoming] Haikyuu!! BL, plot-focused

Futori Applies to Take the Court

In his previous life, Fuuji Sakuya was the youngest player on the French men’s national volleyball team. After being cut from the team, he gave up volleyball and went into medicine, working as a doctor for many years.

At 28, he performed ACL reconstruction surgery on the setter for Argentina’s national team. He gained a chatty patient and spent nearly nine months helping him through rehabilitation before sending him back to the court.

In an incident involving a disgruntled patient, his eyes were slashed, leaving him permanently blind. After losing volleyball, he once again lost the right to hold a scalpel.

In the darkness, he passed his days listening to Oikawa’s matches. Toru Oikawa often came to visit, and sometimes they talked about their pasts.

Oikawa Toru would talk about his youth, his frustrations, his passion, and his ten years spent drifting in a foreign land.

Fuuji Sakuya would talk about how he used to play volleyball, how he and a cadaver once spent a night in the same classroom, and how... “Toru, I used to be incredibly good at volleyball.”

“Doctor, if you could start over, come be my teammate.”

*

Fuuji Sakuya fell in love with someone. He planned to confess once he’d had a corneal transplant and could see again.

But he was always unlucky. In the final second before he died, all he could think was, Thank goodness I never confessed to Toru Oikawa.

Yet when he woke up again, he had returned to the age of sixteen, when he and Toru Oikawa first met.

[Reader’s Guide]

1. The protagonist is very powerful. If you think that’s over the top, then I’ve given him a cheat.

2. The protagonist is the pursuer, and the pairing is with Toru.

3. The story focuses on the plot and matches. Oikawa will win, and Aoba Johsai will win. (It centers on Oikawa and the universe, and the protagonist is also a hardcore Oikawa fan, so you know how it goes.)

4. I’ll add more if anything comes to mind.

Theme: They aren’t heroes. They just happen to know each other, happen to care, and happen to be unable to stand by.
