[I talked it over with my editor: this will go premium on September 30. Chapters 33-44 will be locked retroactively, and there will be a 10,000-word update on launch day. I hope you'll support the novel! quq] [Check out my upcoming story: The System Helps You Survive the Seven-Year Itch with Matsuda. Also starting a new story: The Detective Conan System Teaches You to Take Any Job and Become the Scapegoat.] [The mystery-solving, mission-completing, and romance plotlines all run in parallel!] After coming back from the dead, Aono Aoba is bound to the [Red Faction Detective Agency System]. She has to open a detective agency and complete missions to earn points and pay off her debt to the System. Aono Aoba, a genuine Black Organization member: ...You could just say you want me to die again. [The more popular you are, the more points you earn. And remember, you have to pay off your points before you remember the distillery's downfall.] The System reminds her meaningfully. Aono Aoba: What? The Organization is going to go under!? With her ability to look at manga from the real world, Aono Aoba discovers that the distillery is already crawling with undercover agents. Aono Aoba: What else can I do? I'll just have to work hard to keep the distillery alive while clearing my name, so I don't end up behind bars the moment I'm out of a job. Aono Aoba starts tackling an elementary-school math problem: dilute herself with water on one hand, and mix herself with alcohol on the other. Unlike Aono Aoba, whose story is all about her career, Matsuda seems to have wandered into a dating sim. Matsuda: I had a girlfriend I wanted to spend my life with, but she disappeared just a week into our relationship. Six years later, I finally found her, only to learn she'd lost her memory. Now I have to start romancing her from scratch. - Little Conan and the FBI: Whiskey Sour has been Gin's partner for years. He must be just as cold-blooded as Gin. He doesn't kill people himself, but they say anyone who falls into her hands would be better off dead. She's a sleeping monster. Aono Aoba: ? Who are you talking about? I just want to do ○○ with Jinpei-chan. - Aono Aoba: Bourbon, I'm counting on you to do my advanced math homework again today. Amuro, working five jobs and currently one of the employees at Aono Aoba's detective agency: ...Could I do your statistics homework instead? Aono Aoba: I wish Senior Kenji and Senior Jinpei really were my big brothers. Hagiwara: Jinpei, looks like you just got friend-zoned. Aono Aoba: Senior Jinpei, don't put up a futile resistance! I've got my eye on you! Drop the shyness and marry me right now! Before I got online, I was shy and insecure! I was too scared to even talk to people! Thanks to the internet, I've become cheerful, outgoing, and confident. Now I'm so wild I'm barely human! Hey, my man! Matsuda: I'm supposed to be the one proposing, and don't yell that during a deduction show! Aono Aoba: For the sake of the Organization and Senior Toru's happiness, all of you go sprinting in the opposite direction! The FBI and Conan: ? How Aono Aoba sees herself: introverted, shy, an ordinary college girl, and a good person. How the comments see Aono Aoba: a troublemaker playing both sides, turning over a new leaf for love, and falling for a pretty face. Detective agency members: Amuro: the most overworked workaholic, holding down five jobs Morofushi: If you're afraid you'll expose yourself again, come on in first. Hagiwara: unofficial staff, practically siblings Matsuda: Looking at your face makes me able to eat five more bowls of rice. This novel is also known as The Immersive Detective Agency Simulator. [Original title: The Genuine Liquor and Her Detective System Have Both Given Up] - All five Police Academy members survive. - Matsuda is the love interest. - The protagonist is one of the smartest people around and a master at playing her role. - OOC. Toru is fiercely protective of his friends. The FBI and Conan will be sent sprinting in the opposite direction. - Lighthearted, with mystery-solving, original cases, and original missions. Also includes sports anime, romance anime, and a little mystery fiction on similar themes without supernatural powers. There are games too, but aside from the sports anime, none of these have supernatural powers. - The author has bravely taken the first step. Feel free to point out bugs or problems, but please be kind about it. Even if you tell me you're dropping the novel, don't start by yelling at me. () - The female lead is beautiful, strong, and miserable, with a morally ambiguous stance. She's a genuine liquor early on, then a turncoat inside the distillery later, and she'll go easy on people. Since the male lead is Matsuda, if she doesn't reform, she'll end up meeting him through prison bars. - The System's abilities were inspired by The Scissor Man. - More to be added if I think of anything. I'm terrible at writing blurbs, so I may revise this, but the core won't change. The cover was drawn by a dear friend, and it's gorgeous (proudly hands on hips). [Content warnings] As a genuine liquor, the female lead will scare Haibara and Conan, make the FBI sprint in the opposite direction, deceive the Red Faction, and engage in other awful behavior. She's more of a genuine liquor early on. To keep the story within review guidelines, the female lead isn't exactly a bad person, but she isn't good either. She's in a gray area. Matsuda and Hagiwara went straight to First Investigative Division. Akemi won't die, but it's not exactly a rescue either. Her sister needs her alive to use as leverage against Haibara, along with a few other factors. (That's how the outline is currently planned. Unless I remove this part, it probably won't change.) It's a story about the female lead and the Police Academy crew gradually reinforcing their impressions of one another. For a happy ending, she'll be redeemed later on. Redeemed, redeemed, redeemed! Written on 2022/4/10, revised for the seventh time on 2022/9/30. [Check out my new story!] The Detective Conan System Teaches You to Take Any Job and Become the Scapegoat Shuangyue came from an infinite game in an interstellar society. After exchanging her game points for a 3S-rank Reincarnation Ticket, she transmigrates and becomes Shuangyue Xuezhi. Back home, Shuangyue has all sorts of titles, like the top mecha pilot at Central Star Military Academy and the number-one player on the Infinite Game leaderboard. Shuangyue herself, however, has no idea. Shuangyue: I'm just an ordinary student! After transmigrating into the Detective Conan world, the System asks Shuangyue Xuezhi: Player, do you have any dreams? Shuangyue Xuezhi: I want to be a fresh graduate with fifty years of internship experience. System: ? The System understands. The System questions. The System surpasses. System 1.0, Work in Any Field and Love It, is now online. Later, Shuangyue Xuezhi also earns plenty of titles in the Detective Conan world, like the ruler of the underworld, the Dark Bourbon of a peaceful age, and the criminal mastermind who manipulates people's hearts. Shuangyue Xuezhi: Ahaha, who are they talking about? System: ... Shuangyue Xuezhi: ... Shuangyue Xuezhi: Wait, are they talking about me? I'm just an ordinary student! I was only supposed to play the scapegoat! Why have people started describing me like this!? - After joining the distillery storyline, the System once again lays out three paths for the female lead: 1. Operations Division 2. Intelligence Division 3. Research Division It also brings her good news: the female lead, who has a serious case of indecision, doesn't have to choose. She has no choice at all and can only join the Intelligence Division. System: Female lead, you're illiterate, so first of all, you can't get into the Research Division. And second, you don't want to accidentally kill an innocent person and get taken down by the reviewers, do you? Female lead: System, sob, if you won't abandon me, I'll gladly take you as my adoptive father. System: Pah! Who are you cursing? So the female lead joins the Intelligence Division and shines, working herself so hard that even the blond-haired, dark-skinned guy is envious. The female lead figures that she doesn't want to kill anyone, doesn't know how to use a honey trap, and has only one way out: Become a cleaner, infiltrate the enemy, serve as a scapegoat, and steal their core information! At a restaurant murder scene, the elementary-school detective encounters the female lead, one of three suspects who all end up as scapegoats. At a hotel murder scene, the elementary-school detective encounters the female lead, one of three suspects who all end up as scapegoats. At a roadside gas station, the elementary-school detective encounters the female lead, one of three suspects who all end up as scapegoats. Elementary-school detective: What kind of scapegoat are you? Female lead: I'm just an ordinary college student. Elementary-school detective: ...This world has gone completely crazy, and I don't understand it anymore. - Matsuda finds Shuangyue Xuezhi. She's six years younger than him and a third-year university student. Matsuda still treats her like a little sister, even though they aren't related by blood and he never legally adopted her. His little sister is rebellious and refuses to call him big brother, so Matsuda forces her to say it. After a battle lasting three hundred rounds, his little sister gives in. "Brother Matsuda." Matsuda corrects her: "Brother Jinpei." His sister: "Pah! Jinpei." Matsuda thinks: Someday I'll make her obediently call me big brother. But one day, Matsuda stops wanting her to call him big brother. Theme: Create your future with your own two hands.
