[The next story on the neighboring page, My Secret Identities Came to Life One After Another, is now open for submissions. The male lead is tentatively Ichigo. If you're interested, please visit my author page.] [This story will go into reverse chronological order from Chapter 30 starting this Friday, January 21. A 10,000-word update will drop that day, so please show it lots of support!] The young Lady Atobe, in her twenties, usually enjoys slaying Hollows, making the tennis club run laps, and turning the tables on kidnappers. Lately, though, she's been harboring some indescribable feelings. She's fallen in love at first sight with a black-haired? No, a blond detective with dark skin. Sure, he's well into his twenties and nearly thirty, still working part-time at a cafe, and hoping to become a famous detective. For now, he's even paying to study under one. But that's all right. Her family is wealthy enough to support her beloved while he focuses on becoming a detective. But as the saying goes, love is a battlefield, and the first person to confess is the loser. So how can she get the undercover agent to confess first? The young lady, with her inexplicable obsession with winning, begins making all sorts of outrageous moves. * On the surface, he's a trainee at Cafe Poirot, hoping to become one of its top ten employees. In reality, he's an undercover agent in the Black Organization, and lately he's been getting a headache. The young lady keeps finding different ways to show up in front of him, and seems to like him quite a bit, but she still hasn't remembered that he's actually her ex-boyfriend. Wait, no. They never broke up, so she can't call him an ex. He doesn't accept that, okay? But the undercover agent waited until the Black Organization had been wiped out, and still never got a straightforward confession from the young lady. In the end, he decided to confess to her again himself. * Also known as: #Two Idiots with Mutual Unrequited Crushes# #About How I'm the Quincy Empire's Little Tyrant, but My Undercover Boyfriend Keeps Thinking I'm Weak and Need Protecting# #The Reaper's Love Advice Never Gets Any Points on the Board# * I've been revisiting old favorites lately, and my chuunibyou spirit is burning bright.
