The main story is complete!
This is an older novel I started writing in 2021. I used to update whenever inspiration struck, and everything I wrote before signing a contract is free to read. There are 230,000 characters before the paid chapters. Please read the free portion first and only buy the paid chapters if you think you can enjoy it!
Please read the following content warnings carefully.
This is a silly comedy, so out-of-character portrayals are unavoidable. Hiromitsu and Rei are both among the male love interests. If pseudo-incest bothers you, please avoid this story. The romance is not one-on-one. The main plot involves the heroine dating, getting engaged to, kissing, and more with multiple male love interests. If you only support one character, have strong purity preferences, or hold yourself to very high moral standards, this story may not be for you!
The heroine is genuinely ill, and her thought process is rather unusual. If you find her difficult to accept while reading, please don't insult her. Just stop reading.
The romance with Akai is unchanged from the original. The opening, where Akai thinks the heroine looks like Akemi, is foreshadowing! And he's the only person in the entire story who thinks so. The heroine does not actually look like Akemi. Saying more would spoil things, but this isn't a tiresome substitute romance plot!
The arcs are arranged by plotline, not by the order the male love interests appear. So you may find an arc with someone's name in the title that barely features him. For example, in Act Three, the Black Organization arc, the target is Kurozawa, but Gin is practically absent the whole time. OTL
Complete synopsis below. The main story is written in third person.
I'm Morofushi Haruko, 22 years old and in my prime. Lately, it seems like I've entered a romantic lucky streak.
Three handsome mixed-race men with completely different styles have barged into my life one after another, and they all seem strangely interested in me...
Help! Who is my destined one?
The gentle, intellectual upperclassman Okiya,
The cold, self-controlled senior Kurozawa,
Or... the dark-skinned, handsome café waiter with the sweetest smile?
BUT
One of these three handsome mixed-race men is Furuya, the one who sent me my second brother's belongings!
He's the only person who knows the truth about my second brother's death. My eldest brother knows who he is but won't tell me, so I'll have to investigate on my own...
According to my second brother, Furuya is mixed-race, has incredible aim, and has a distinctive hair color, so he must be...
Okiya, the pink-haired man with sleepy eyes?
Kurozawa, the silver-haired man in black?
Surely it can't be that blond, dark-skinned guy at the café who smiles at everyone?
After a careful investigation, I ruled out the dark-skinned guy first. The rumored Furuya should be a Public Security officer, so why would he be working at a café?
Then I started investigating upperclassman Okiya and uncovered his shocking secret. He's a poor single dad, and he's been sucking up to the neighborhood's Professor Agasa to get custody of his daughter, Ai!
The process of elimination told me that Furuya must be Kurozawa, a man who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside! As a Public Security officer, he works diligently to protect this country. He's exactly like the righteous Furuya my brother Hiromitsu described.
To help him finish his secret mission sooner, so he can tell me the truth about Hiromitsu's death, I became an unofficial Public Security operative under his command and even got my own codename.
It's a liquor name, just like his!
Our Public Security is so! Cool!
What? We're going to assassinate the presidential candidate of America?!
So the rumors that Japan is America's dog are all lies after all!
Our Public Security is so! Strong!
As I worked hard to keep my country safe, things gradually got complicated between me and these three handsome mixed-race men... and my childhood friend, Atobe... and even my eldest brother, Takaaki?!
Help! I just want an ordinary romance. Why are there so many love rivals?
What? You say my second brother Hiromitsu is actually still alive?! Is he joining this increasingly chaotic love rivalry too?!
Additional notes
The story opens after the train arc, and Toru's identity as a Public Security officer has not yet been exposed.
The main setting combines Detective Conan and tennis, with the main plot taking place in the Detective Conan world.
Other worlds may be added later, but they'll all be slice-of-life series, with no supernatural powers. Tennis doesn't count as supernatural powers.
Everyone in the supporting-character list is a male love interest.
The main plot has an all-romance direction and an open ending. After finishing it, I'll write an IF route for each male love interest. Everyone gets a home!
Current status of each male love interest's romance route:
Furuya: Already broken up, waiting in line for his groveling arc.
Okiya: Ready to take his place at any moment. How interesting.
Gin: Rumored to be dating her, certified by Vodka as the one and only sister-in-law. He's in the running.
Atobe: Already won her over. Did the CEO invest in the Black Organization to change the script?
Takaaki: Has officially proposed. He's serious.
Hiromitsu: Won his revival match! Act Four is his time to shine.
Latest romance developments:
Kazami, the corporate slave, steals Division Head Furuya from his girlfriend. Success!
Reunited with Hiromitsu. "Brother, is that you?" Reaching out like Er Kang.
Even apart from the male love interests listed in the supporting cast, I'll write about other characters whenever I get an idea. That's how much I love everyone. My goal is to give every handsome two-dimensional man a home!
The Matsuda route is finished.
Coming up: Officer Kazami's route. Yes, you read that right. Officer Kazami will get his own pure-love IF route too.
July 23: Updated the cover. I drew it myself! Praise me! Proud face.
August 15: Changed the cover. Toru's blond hair looked a little green before, which didn't feel like a good omen. OTL
Added character cards for the three handsome mixed-race guys. I'll draw the other male leads when I have time!
Upcoming novel: "The Phantom Lady Steals Nagano Kongming's Heart"
She wanted to retire!
Kuroba Aisa wasn't exactly a slacker, but being a phantom thief really was better suited to young people...
No wonder her big brother faked his death and stepped away, handing the name of Kaito Kid to Kaito. Her sister-in-law had also retired after marriage and passed the title of Phantom Lady on to her.
Kuroba Aisa clutched her lower back, which she'd just strained while escaping, and nearly cried.
She was almost thirty. It really was time to retire.
Also, why was the police officer chasing Kaito Inspector Nakamori, while the one chasing her was this Morofushi officer, who was sharp as a demon?
Wasn't Nagano just the Japanese countryside? Why was its security tighter than America's? She'd never been this exhausted, even with all those FBI agents chasing her in America.
She really was getting old.
She'd decided. She had to find an heir right away! The Phantom Lady's name couldn't die out with her.
Unfortunately, both her brothers had sons. Her eldest nephew, Shinichi, was a famous high school detective. Her second nephew, Kaito, had already inherited his father's title.
So she really had to start training the next generation!
Kuroba Aisa: Kaito, when are you and Aoko getting married and having a chubby little girl for your aunt to raise?
Kaito: Auntie, I'm still in high school, and I haven't even confessed to her yet...
Kuroba Aisa: Shin-chan, you and Ran should hurry up and get married. High schoolers can get married in Japan anyway... Huh? Why has my eldest nephew gotten smaller?
Conan: You've got the wrong person, miss. (Put-on voice.)
Kuroba Aisa: Who are you trying to fool? I changed your diapers so many times when you were little. I know exactly how many moles you have on your butt.
Ran: Moles? What moles? Now I'm curious.
Conan: Auntie, please, have some mercy on your eldest nephew.
Kuroba Aisa: So, are you going to agree or not?
Conan: Auntie, I really do want to marry Ran, and high schoolers in Japan can get married, but your eldest nephew is still in elementary school.
Kuroba Aisa: Neither of you is any use to me! What am I supposed to do? I can't have a kid myself... can I?
Wait, actually, maybe she could?
Looking at the police officer Morofushi who was doggedly pursuing her, Kuroba Aisa swore she would make him the father of her child.
The heroine, Kuroba Aisa, is Toichi and Yusaku's half-sister.
A silly romantic comedy, with Takaaki as the love interest! After watching M28, I had nowhere to put all my love for Takaaki, so I decided to write him a happy ending!
A medium-to-long novel with a long timeline. It starts with the heroine changing Shinichi's diapers, so Takaaki won't have much screen time early on.
Theme: If you're sick, get treatment. Don't avoid seeing a doctor.
Atobe's route is so pure, there's not a hint of romance, it's such a sweet love story!
Seeing Haruko's comment reminded me, "Brother Xiu, you should come and help take care of the kids too! 🐶 I haven't taken care of my little sister for so many years, I should make it up to her."
Good grief, they've been eavesdropping the whole time. Could they have even planted several listening devices in Haruko's room?
Jingguang can take care of the kids in this "if" scenario now 🐶
What a grand wedding! I really want to compare it to the Gaoming route next door, haha, but that would be a bit repetitive! Okay, I want to see the chaos that follows!
The Akagi-sensei route... Sounds incredibly exciting! 😏😏😏
The scenes with Atobe suddenly lost the depressing tone of Detective Conan and turned into a carefree Prince of Tennis vibe! The author's decision to compile Atobe's story is simply divine!
Ahhh, tonight's update was so funny! Hahaha, my stomach hurts from laughing so much!
I really want to see the scene where Xiao Gan and the others discover that Mrs. Morofushi has been "replaced" and misunderstand Gao Ming [sunglasses][sunglasses][sunglasses] It would be so much fun, hahaha
Please, sir, make Hiro's dream come true, hahaha!
