[The premise has changed. Sorry! If that's a problem, feel free to remove it from your collection. I still want to write about my favorite detective.]
The thing Shiina Rika regretted most in her life was, first, becoming a reporter after graduating from university and going bald at such a young age.
Second, breaking up with her younger boyfriend, which later led to her shamelessly begging him to agree to an interview show.
A high school detective had made a name for himself by helping the police solve cases. A TV station wanted to interview the young detective, but he turned them down. For her first assignment since joining the station, they gave her the task of... interviewing her ex-boyfriend!
Shiina Rika:
...QAQ Who hasn't had a mortifying moment?
So Shiina Riquan, who desperately tried to hypnotize herself into believing that her ex-boyfriend's work mattered more than her pride, dragged her heavy body to the crime scene. Unfortunately, other reporters had already filled the place. Shiina Rika used all her strength to push her way in and nearly took a tumble.
But the detective's lips curled into a faint smile as he opened with, "What, regret breaking up with me?"
The crowd erupted, and microphones were immediately thrust in Shiina Riquan's face.
"No, you've got it wrong. We're just like siblings." Under the pressure of a dozen pairs of eyes, Shiina Rika explained, until even she stopped believing herself. "Right, exactly. Just a brother and sister. Uh, hahaha..."
The detective didn't look pleased. His mouth turned down slightly, and he said in a displeased tone, "...Just like siblings? But I don't remember you saying that last night."
Shiina Rika: Oh no, it sounds like he's got something on me.
Wait, last night she only asked him to agree to the show!
A silly, sweet romance. Trying to keep the original character's personality intact.
Theme: A Kudo-style chase-your-ex-to-the-crematorium romance.
