There Is Definitely Something Wrong with My Childhood Friends!

Below are two upcoming stories: How to Survive in a World Where Red and Black Are Reversed and When the Detective Conan World Gets Shadow Sickness What's a childhood friend? Someone you grew up with, like a brother or sister. That's what Hoshino Saki had always believed. Whenever anyone asked about her relationship with Matsuda and Hagiwara, she'd answer, "We're childhood friends! We've been close since we were little!!" Her answer never changed, from their school days through adulthood. Like a bug drawn to honey, Hagiwara lowered his head slightly and buried his face in the girl's neck, completely crossing the line of what it meant to be childhood friends. Hagiwara knew all too well where that gut-wrenching hunger and desire came from. He could win anyone's affection, and yet he couldn't earn hers. He wanted more. He could hardly bear it. A taste wasn't enough. His heart swelled with feeling, like orange soda shaken to the limit, fizzing and churning, only one twist of the cap away from an uncontrollable rush of love. Matsuda covered her eyes from behind. His hand brushed them ever so lightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water. Stop joking around and hurry up and fall for me. Childhood friends? Just good friends? Don't make me laugh!! [Please note]: 1. The main story is a love-triangle scenario. The pairing is settled in the last chapter, and the love interest is Matsuda. 2. The story starts in high school. 3. The heroine is an ordinary person, very ordinary. 4. The first chapter contains an extra with content warnings!!! (Please be sure to read it!) How to Survive in a World Where Red and Black Are Reversed Question: What would you do if you realized you'd been in high school for ten years, with no idea when it would end? Hayami Asuka: Thanks for asking. One leap and all my troubles are over. When Hayami Asuka woke up in the classroom again, something felt off. His childhood friend, who hadn't been to school in ages, was sitting behind him and inviting him to play soccer after school. Kudo Shinichi had suddenly appeared at school, leaving a case behind so he could go to the soccer club?! Hayami Asuka could tell something was wrong with his childhood friend, so he pulled out his phone to privately mes- [Congratulations! You've been bound to The Detective Conan World: A Reversed Life. Final mission: Deceive the netizens into believing that the black side is the red side in this game to clear it. Final reward: a grand prize bundle (including a permanent time-reversal voucher).] Looking at the proof Kudo Shinichi had sent on his phone that he was out solving a case, and the System window that had suddenly popped up, Hayami Asuka fell silent. Something seemed wrong with this world! His phone was also a little too weird. He could even contact his childhood friend from the original world? Hayami Asuka: Shinichi, tell me how you would commit a crime. Red-side Kudo Shinichi: ? Later, he discovered that Shinichi wasn't the only person he could contact. Once they learned this was a world where red and black were reversed, the others warned him: Amuro Tooru: How do I deal with myself? That's tricky. Maybe I should deal with Akai first. How about beating him up? Akai Shuichi: No, I'd stay far away from me, preferably at least 700 yards. Otherwise, you might die. Shinichi: You'd better act natural. Otherwise, I'm worried you won't live to see another dawn. Ran: Uh... Asuka, be careful. Stay away from the reversed version of me... Sonoko: Exactly, exactly! Ran's so strong, and what if Black-side Shinichi gets jealous... Pfft, Black-side Shinichi! Hahahaha! Hayami Asuka: I'm done. Let it all burn. When the Detective Conan World Gets Shadow Sickness Minamikata Hizuru thought something was wrong. She seemed to be dead, but also not dead. She was dead because she had no physical body and seemed to have become a pill. She wasn't dead because she could still think, and she could see translucent floating text boxes in the air filled with words she didn't quite understand but that seemed useful. [Another Detective Conan livestream? So boring, I've seen it all. Probably the usual back-and-forth over who's real and who's an undercover agent, starting at the police academy?] [Is it about people imagining secret identities and becoming delusional? Or the sixth person joining the romance? A tragic, beautiful, powerful moonlight maiden? Whatever it is, I bet it starts at the police academy.] [Wait, why is the livestream so dark? Where's the streamer?] Minamikata Hizuru really wanted to do a headstand, but she was a pill stuck in a groove and couldn't move. More importantly, a bright red mission window popped up. [Beginner mission: Escape the fate of being fed to Kudo Shinichi by Gin.] So she'd become APTX4869? [Holy crap!! This is how it starts?? That hurts my face!!] The comments helped her confirm her guess. But wouldn't there be more cases if Kudo turned into Conan? Besides, she could smell a shadow. This Gin was a shadow. Minamikata Hizuru felt excited for the first time in ages. Both the livestream comments and the return of Shadow Sickness thrilled her. Amuro Tooru, who worked at Cafe Poirot, had been keeping an eye on the woman who came in every afternoon for a long time. Black suit, black gloves, cold expression, and a suitcase every time. More importantly, she openly read erotic novels in the cafe. He didn't quite understand, but this woman was no ordinary person. That impression only deepened when he saw her pull a hammer out of an empty suitcase. When she smashed the little girl in front of her with a hammer, Amuro Tooru almost drew his gun. If he hadn't seen the girl dissolve into a puddle of black shadow. "May 6, 1:42 p.m. Loop number 23. Shadow Amuro Tooru successfully eliminated." "Rei Furuya, you have only one choice now: work with me. Otherwise, you'll have to face two organizations, each more troublesome than the other. Don't worry about the hammer. I won't use it against you if you cooperate." Pinned to the ground and unable to escape, Amuro Tooru frowned. In this situation, it seemed he had no way to refuse. [Please note]: 1. Minamikata Hizuru is a character from Summer Time Rendering. This is a crossover pairing, Amuro Tooru x Minamikata Hizuru, one-on-one. Summer Time Rendering is really good, so go watch it!!! 2. Here's an explanation of terms like [shadow] and [Shadow Sickness]. Basically, [Shadow Sickness] can copy anyone and create a being exactly like the original. It has all of the original's memories and abilities, and if it's not being controlled, even its personality is exactly the same. For example, if it copies Conan, it creates Shadow Conan, who has all of Conan's memories but is a villain on the black side and can wipe out the entire red side. That's why she says he'll have to face two organizations. One is made up of shadows. Theme: Love can bring miracles into life.
