[Note]

The premise and blurb I originally planned to write are below. I'll let you know if I ever start writing it. For now, I'm filling this slot with something else. Kisses!

Socially Exhausted Worker Takes Revenge on Society [Crossover]

Yukino Yao works from eight in the morning to eight at night. She works hard all day, then goes home and works overtime. On top of not getting paid for the extra hours, she has to deal with annoying socializing with coworkers and pretend to flatter her sleazy boss.

Just another day in the life of a corporate drone.

But if you live like this too long, you either explode in silence or go crazy in silence. Yukino Yao goes crazy and decides to take revenge on society.

The first step in her revenge is to join an underground organization as an unremarkable foot soldier. But this organization not only pays well, it lets her vent her stress and take revenge on society. It couldn't be more perfect.

It's just that there seem to be an awful lot of undercover agents in the organization's upper ranks. Several waves of people have already tried to recruit her. Does she really look that much like a good person?

[The people trying to recruit her]

A long-haired undercover agent: You're exhausted. Japan's work culture isn't right for you. You could do much better in America. I'll help you.

Yukino Yao: Ha! You're either FBI or CIA, right?

Long-haired undercover agent: ...

A blond undercover agent: I know Japan's work culture has all kinds of problems, but I'm doing my best to protect this country so citizens like you can live in peace. Promise me you won't take another step into the darkness, okay?

Yukino Yao: Ah, I'm afraid I can't help you with that, but... (She smoothly deploys the stock responses she uses with her boss, and they come in handy in the most unexpected places.)

Blond undercover agent: ...

A cat-eyed undercover agent: (He looks like he wants to say something, his eyes full of concern.) Sigh...

Yukino Yao: Don't try to make me feel guilty. I'm a corporate drone with no feelings.

Cat-eyed undercover agent: ...I wasn't. I didn't.

A curly-haired police officer: Hey! I'll go beat those guys up for you, then arrange for you to work somewhere else. Don't go back there, got it?

Yukino Yao: Sorry, sir. My hearing hasn't been great lately.

Curly-haired police officer: ...Oh, let's see if your hearing is really that bad.

[Rambling]

1. The heroine starts out as an ordinary person and joins the bad guys. Lots of people try to recruit her, but she doesn't switch sides. If she gets a happy ending with the good guys, though, she might switch sides in the end.

2. This is a story for blowing off steam. It won't be especially long, probably.

3. Aside from Detective Conan, this is a Crossover with some niche, slice-of-life anime from JJ. (They're actually really good.)

4. I'm trying to make the romance work. There is no main plot, and I'm not adding one!

Theme: Lonely souls are drawn to one another
