[You'll see: #Hiro with Ranpo's script#Matsuda with the Boss Dazai script#Gin in a Mori-schemes-his-way-to-the-top version] [Please read the content warnings below carefully. If anything bothers you, please leave in time.] [This story will go premium on 10/20. Check out my completed stories and upcoming works, "Matsuda, Take Your Place as Boss" and "A Loop, or a Love Loop".] [Six thousand words daily, either in one combined update or two updates at midnight and noon.] The Space-Time Administration made a mistake, and some worlds lost their plot data. Shiomi Kure needed to collect the storylines related to three characters again. Shiomi Kure had been utterly confident: With the original storylines as a foundation, how hard could it be to collect the character backgrounds and plots? But after looking at the character profiles provided by the System, Shiomi Kure fell into deep thought: Hey, you! Come out here! Tell me what is going on with these three characters! [Ranpo & Hiro] A boy detective who looked exactly like a certain undercover Public Security agent was bold and unrestrained. "Mr. Amuro, who do you think I am?" The boy fearlessly exposed the truth, but his eyes were full of tenderness. "Don't mistake me for someone else. I'm no one's replacement. I'm just myself." [Boss Dazai & Matsuda] The curly-haired young man wore a calm expression, his gaze cold. "I'm not the Officer Matsuda you're talking about." The other young man looked somber. "I feel like I've tried countless times, just to save someone, but I seem to have forgotten who he was." The name was on the tip of his tongue, yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it. At last, sitting before a gravestone, the young man murmured, "So I came too late. In this world, too, you've already left me, just like before." [Mr. Mori & Gin] The silver-haired young man, already seated in the boss's chair, said to another version of himself, "The organization led by that man is beyond saving." "For Tokyo's brighter future, and for the organization's brighter future." "A coup, Gin?" After staying up all night reading the character profiles, Shiomi Kure had a bad feeling he was going to lose his mind. Why did he smell angst? And during the actual reenactments, he really did lose it: What is wrong with all of you? I'm talking about you, Public Security Princess! The person standing in front of you is your childhood friend, so why are you looking at him with such fatherly affection? And you, Officer Hagiwara! In the original story, you were killed off! Why did you suddenly jump out from behind a gravestone? Are you trying to scare someone? Do you have to come back from the dead like that? Gin! Be honest, have you wanted to stage a coup for ages? We haven't even taught you how to do it, so how have you already taken out the boss? #The "secret identities" are the actual characters from IF routes; the protagonist is an observer #The core premise is "A takes B's script"; to make the premise work, the two characters are brought together in the plot #Important: They take the script, they don't take on someone else's personality. The characters are still themselves! There won't be a "Hiro with Ranpo's personality" or a "Matsuda with Dazai's personality". Their personalities will lean more toward their own characters #Due to the way the story is written, the plot focuses on Hiro, Matsuda, and Gin. The protagonist Shiomi Kure's perspective is basically the reader's perspective #This story is written to suit the author's personal tastes and contains many personal headcanons. If anything bothers you, please leave in time #The characters' intelligence is limited by the author's intelligence. Please don't compare them unfavorably to other characters #I revise the story from time to time. If you spot a bug or inconsistency, feel free to point it out and I'll fix it Upcoming Story 1 Blurb If he could turn back time, Matsuda would definitely have turned around and walked away the first time he met Dazai. Who could have guessed this guy would leave such a huge mess for him to clean up? Matsuda: Thanks for asking. I'm in Yokohama, and I'm exhausted. He'd only held a red scarf for some gloomy bastard for a little while, but the next thing he knew, he was in the boss's office, watching the guy leap from the top floor. Matsuda's eyes widened in shock: Didn't you say you were going to deal with your kid's fight? Why did you suddenly decide to jump off a building? Matsuda couldn't understand why this Mafia boss had suddenly decided to jump, and he was even more baffled when Executive Chuuya arrived late, yelled at his boss, then went "smack" and jumped off the building with Matsuda in tow. Wait, is jumping off buildings a cherished Port Mafia tradition...? But why take him along? He really didn't want to get caught up in the love and hatred between the Yokohama underworld factions. He still wanted to live! Oh, so Executive Chuuya has an ability that keeps him from dying in a fall. Well, that's all right... No, it's not all right! Even if you can't die from falling, don't just drag people along when you jump off buildings! Anyway, Executive Chuuya didn't find the former boss's body at the bottom of the building, and had no idea whether the former boss who had jumped so casually was actually dead. But the Port Mafia couldn't go a day without a boss, so Executive Chuuya slowly turned his gaze toward Matsuda, who was holding Dazai's red scarf. Chuuya nodded and made an important decision: That's it, you're the one! Matsuda: ...Me? Chuuya: From now on, you're the new boss! Wait... You made that decision awfully quickly! Matsuda pointed at himself, his eyes widening in shock once more: I'm the Port Mafia boss...? Seriously? What? Dazai had entrusted him with the red scarf because he wanted Matsuda to succeed him and take over the Port Mafia?! Damn, so this red scarf is some kind of symbol of the boss's office! It's already seen off two bosses. Is it going to see him off too? With no special ability of his own, Boss Matsuda was forced into the role by some gloomy bastard's machinations. According to former boss Dazai, Matsuda had enough of a Mafia air about him that no one would doubt he was the boss. And if anyone still refused to accept him, that was fine. The capable Executive Chuuya would take care of anyone who wouldn't fall in line! But seriously, never mind how I got teleported from a Ferris wheel to Yokohama. Is it really appropriate for a former police officer like me to become a Mafia boss? And why does being a Mafia boss also mean having to save Yokohama? #I'm the Mafia boss? Seriously? #The love and hatred between the old and new bosses (there's nothing there!) #The red scarf is a treasure, passed down through three generations * A Bungou Stray Dogs IF-route crossover, with a heavily altered timeline * The characters' intelligence is limited by the author's intelligence. The author doesn't have Dazai's intelligence and may not be able to capture the Script Group's charm. Relevant plot points may be glossed over Upcoming Story 2 Blurb The amnesiac Scotch wakes up in a safehouse. There is only a fake ID and a gun on the table, but after searching carefully, he finds other dangerous contraband in the house. Looking over everything inside, Scotch decides he's an assassin, and probably a heinous one at that. Deep down, he feels something is wrong, but no matter how much he investigates, he can't find any other evidence. He really does seem to be that kind of person. Then, after accidentally getting caught up in a murder case and finishing his statement, Scotch returns to the safehouse and receives an anonymous email: Public Security has found this place. Run, now! Before Scotch can react, Public Security breaks down the door. He stands by the window, watches the police at the entrance, and jumps without hesitation. Time suddenly rewinds, and a second email appears after the first. Every time he fails to escape and time rewinds, another email appears, pointing Scotch toward a way out. Don't look back. Run! Head for the roof. Public Security is everywhere downstairs! That blond Public Security officer saw you. Don't let him catch you! After failing to escape for the Nth time, Scotch grips the gun in his hand and points it at himself. But then he hears the blond Public Security officer in charge cry out in anguish, "No, Hiro!" Before he can make out the name, time rewinds again. At last, Scotch receives one more email. It reads: If there's really no way to escape, then stop running. But if you want to stay alive, never admit to that identity. Never admit you are ■■■■! The name in the email has turned into garbled text. It is the final warning someone has left him. A product of daydreams. I may let loose with the story Zero x Hiro pairing Theme: No matter what kind of life you've lived, you're still yourself
