[“Always the Black-Side Bait in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department,” a Detective Conan no-romance story. The next volume comes out in the second half of 2025 www] [Bonus chapters drop now and then] The main story and all bonus chapters are complete~ Every word is the author’s hard work, so please support the official release! Tsukiyama Asato carries a mission to “achieve the perfect ending” and lands in a world rated SSS-level dangerous. To finish the mission and retire as soon as possible, he wields several secret identities and repeatedly tests the waters while making trouble for the great villainous organization. But because of some covert handoffs between his identities, the world’s rules automatically filled in a tragic, beautiful, and possibly powerful backstory for him. And so 【First Light of Dawn · Harukawa Shugo】 Inside a building engulfed in flames, a young police officer heads against the fleeing crowd. The fire shines in his round, mandarin-orange eyes: the petals of a sunflower, and the sun itself. The Police Academy group (through gritted teeth): Fine, we’re beating up this idiot who doesn’t care about his own safety! 【A Firework’s Brief Glow · Asuka Kiri】 The white-haired boy feels no pain and cannot see any colors. A breeze flowing in through the window lifts his soft hair, and he too is like an endless wind, transparent and impossible to grasp. The heiress (gesturing): Kiri is definitely the best-looking guy in our class. 【The Dark Side of Light · Haya Miao】 A crazed smile flashes in the man’s cold gray eyes. The powerful monster bred by the organization conceals its claws beneath a flawless, ageless exterior, waiting for the moment to devour its prey. The Whiskey Trio (pondering): That gentleman’s adopted son is truly unfathomable. 【Spring Rain · Sueki Sousuke】 His former companions are now only gravestones. A once-fearless hero is trapped by a wheelchair and old injuries. The detective next door and a certain ace are both his former selves, and his hope. His senior, intent on dying, only melts away like summer rain, burning up the last glimmer of his life. The elementary-school detective: I already learned that in Hawaii (crossed out) from Mr. Sueki! Tsukiyama Asato says: Beautiful, strong, and tragic. As long as you’re beautiful and tragic, you can be strong! System 003: I don’t think you’ll make it through… Fine, I’ll upgrade and add some new features to help you out! …But the two new features don’t look like anything decent. Dimensional Forum 【Asato, how many more surprises are you hiding from me? Knock him out and bring him home as my wife so he can cook for me for the rest of his life!】 【Sonoko has a boyfriend now, too. Kiri’s the only one in the childhood-friends quartet without a romance route. He must be waiting to date me.】 【Officer Shugo, arrest me!! I want you to handcuff me and lock me up for life, sob sob sob】 【Gold-rimmed glasses and that unbuttoned collar, what kind of top-tier distillery alpha is he? If I were the distillery boss, I’d keep him at my side every day and make him change outfits for me.】 【Mr. Sueki is so frail. If I made advances on him, he probably wouldn’t fight back.】 Tsukiyama Asato, with N layers of secret identities: … … Do the people here not have any pants? ▇ Site Homepage 【Detective Conan / Bullying Gin】An Undercover Agent’s Thousand-Layer Strategy 【Hand-Drawn Detective Conan】The Public Security Princess Is Going to Sing! Tsukiyama Asato: Now it’s your turn! Reader’s Guide (see the author’s note in Chapter One for details): * A fix-it story that saves characters from their deaths. * No romance, identities stay secret. * There will be discarded identities and, later on, a storm of knives. You’ve been warned. * The main story has no romance, whether one-way, mutual, or involving multiple people. However, the forum contains plenty of shipping talk. Please don’t read if that bothers you. I’ll give a warning in the author’s note before chapters where it gets heavy, so feel free to skip them~ 【Important, bolded, and serious】Thank you for liking the story!

Thank you w Check out my next book: “The Mechanic Becomes an NPC in a Cyberpunk Game” Blurb: Fu Tu, a beta tester, is transported into the game “Legacy of the Old Capital” and becomes an NPC in the beginner area. In the cyberpunk game “Legacy of the Old Capital,” players take on the role of a half-mechanical life form abandoned in the outer district of a ruined city. They head toward the central city together, seeking the secrets hidden within. The outer district where Fu Tu is stationed is a beginner area, a ghost town that players have ignored since the beta test began. The environment is harsh, and scrap is scattered everywhere. Mechanical designer Fu Tu looks at the desolate outer city, the materials littering the ground, and his enormous workshop. His eyes light up. No need to socialize or go outside. He can stay home every day and design machines with the most cutting-edge equipment. He can even control mechanical bodies to run errands, shop, and take care of business… What a deal! The full-dive game “Legacy of the Old Capital” launches on every platform. Players from around the world flood in, only to be slaughtered to the last. The rulers and the conglomerates collude, while the aristocracy and its factions monopolize power. Half-mechanical life forms struggle to survive in the lower districts, held back by acid rain, toxic pollution, disease, and poverty. Within three days of launch, posts complaining that the developers had made the game so realistic they must be inhuman filled thousands of pages on the forums. Then, as players explored, they discovered an NPC whose identity was a mystery, appearing in every quest chapter: The repairman with metal plates covering his eyes appears at the thirteenth passageway on rainy days. His fee is only one Blackwater Flower, a common sight throughout the inner city. His body beneath his clothes is horribly damaged. He has even pried off his own valuable outer shell to use as medicine. The mercenary who uses his own body as a weapon is taciturn. As long as you stay by his side, no aberrant creatures will attack you. He ignites his mechanical heart to become a beacon tower, drawing away the black insects breeding in the millions of gallons of wastewater. The hacker confined to a wheelchair is arrogant and sharp-tongued. If you need his help, you’ll have to beg and beg with sweets. He connects his precise brain to the tower’s control system and breaks through its programming, opening the only route for players to reach the central city. Clerics, gunsmiths, artists… Until the victorious finale, they are companions players can trust without reservation, and the last glimmers of hope from the apocalypse, breaking through the old world’s prison with their bodies in every chapter. On the day the final battle ends, a gameplay video shoots to the top of the charts and stays there for days: 【There’s a hidden world beneath the beginner-area outer city! A little-known underground map, the final destination of all the mechanical heroes, and Fu Tu’s real identity? So this is what “Legacy of the Old Capital” is really about!】 Beneath the abandoned beginner-area outer district, jagged rock formations stretch through endless caverns. A colossal statue, half-covered in machinery, collapses with a crash. Its gaze is serene, and the broken plaster on its cheek looks like tears. The characters who fought alongside the players sleep clustered around the statue. Beneath their ruined limbs, severed wires spark with light and metal glints. The figure often seen in the beginner area removes his heavy gas mask for the first time. A mole beneath his eye stands out red against his pale skin. Fu Tu sits atop the statue, carefully fitting pulsing mechanical organs into the ruined body before him. He remains forever in the heavily polluted outer city, helping millions of players and showing them the way out. He has always been the savior who gave life to his mechanical companions, the silent dawn that led players toward a new world. #Fu Tu, diligently designing and building infrastructure underground: ?# #At first, I really just wanted to do my design assignment (folds his arms)# Theme: Criminal acts will be punished by law.
