Has Officer Matsuda Broken Through the Fourth Wall? Conan-focused, BG

My name is Shiina Saya, and I'm an utterly ordinary high school girl.

Aside from occasionally seeing some monsters with seriously sanity-destroying appearances, my life was perfectly uneventful.

That is, until a group that looked suspiciously like some kind of evil cult showed up in my town.

Their leader was a con man who threw on a kasaya and pretended to be a monk.

Fortunately, the cult only scammed the elderly, so my grandfather, the only family I had, wasn't interested. That put me at ease for the time being.

But one afternoon, the fake monk with the tiny eyes came to my door and asked if I wanted to join them.

Con men sure were bold these days.

That was what I thought.

So I refused.

When the fake monk saw how firm I was, he resorted to the childish tactic of having people corner me on my way home from school.

I couldn't take it anymore. One afternoon after school, I finally shouted at the fake monk:

[Get lost, you stinking monk! Get out of town!]

The next second, a strange wind blew in, and the fake monk was blown straight out of town. Along with the fallen leaves, his hair was blown away, too.

I cheered, "Yes!"

*

On the first day after the fake monk left, the Star Religious Group fell into chaos.

On the second day, I saw the bald fake monk grinning menacingly at the town gate.

On the third day, the Star Religious Group moved right to the edge of town and set up camp.

On the fourth day, I was forced to leave town for school and got intercepted on the way.

The fake monk grabbed me by the collar, smiling warmly.

"I'll ask you one more time. Do you want to join the Star Religious Group?"

I had no backbone and gave in.

[Reader's Guide]

1. The main story is in first person, with Geto as the pairing.

2. Happy ending. I'll do my best to make it work. (Everyone survives. No double deaths or anything like that.)

3. I hope my story won't make you dislike any original characters, because I'll be writing them out of character! Any OOC is on me, the fun is for everyone, and the characters' charm belongs to the original work! Yay!

(Friend's recommendation: The Target Is Gin)

You're Chinami, a casual player.

In the game Detective Stories of Beika Town, you chose a silver-haired, green-eyed mega-hunk as your romance target because of his character design.

.

He looks like a tough one to win over, but that's fine. You're a casual player, so whether you complete romance quests doesn't matter. Thinking this, you open the door of your starting point,

"Bang!"

You get shot. :D

"..."

What the heck! You haven't even stepped outside!

Refusing to believe it, you revive and open the door again

"Bang!"

"..."

Fine. :) Gin, huh? I'll remember that.

The casual player is absolutely furious.

Gin has lost his memory.

He doesn't remember who he is, but he still recalls some bizarre fragments.

Like a figure who was constantly targeted by snipers, kept appearing at the center of explosions, and had even been shot dead by Gin himself three times.

He never remembers the names of the dead.

But this person has died way too many times!

Theme: Everyone must take responsibility for the mistakes they make.
