How Could a Dating Sim Have No Way Out?

June 27: Entering VIP status. Thank you for your support. The recently popular manga "The Little Detective Reaper" got a spin-off dating sim. After her final exams, Taketori Chiharu spent several days playing nonstop, but couldn't get a single ending where she survived. And she realized she couldn't exit the game anymore. The many romanceable characters suddenly started getting to know one another. After talking it over, they discovered that they each had a girlfriend who had died and remained their one true love. Matsuda: "That idiot. She was shy, but she'd still make an effort to be direct. Every time she spoke up, her face would turn bright red first." Chiharu: I'm just socially anxious! Scotland: "I only wanted to tell her that someone did care about her, that I always cared about her. She was my girlfriend. If only I'd been a little more attentive..." Chiharu: ...! I'm really sorry, but don't read so much into it. If I die in the game, I'll be fine! Rye: "I forgot to tell her I loved her." Chiharu: You really don't have to take it so seriously? I... was really just playing a game. Chiharu: Wait, why are you all deliberately gathering in front of me to say this? I'm not even the sort of character who's good at listening! Realizing something was off, Chiharu made a run for the restroom and called an older colleague in the organization for help. Chiharu: "Waaah, Big Brother, I think I've been found out! SOS!" Gin: "Tch. Not done playing your dating game yet? Now you're playing it with me?" Chiharu: "...?" Jacky, juniper gin, is another name for Gin. Jacky, Gin's shadow, is the most mysterious presence in the shadows cast by the organization. Rumor has it that she's an experimental subject created using Gin's genes as a template. Chiharu diligently makes booze, filling in for Big Brother when needed and reporting undercover agents when she spots them. Other than slacking off a little, she has no real faults. Though Big Brother gave her the persona of an "experimental subject, starved for affection, loves dating, wants lots of love" kind of woman, he trusts the quality of her alcohol. So why do these fake liquors keep suspecting she's watering it down? Note: 1. There may be more romance options than those in the blurb. The female lead is a bit of a jerk. The early stages have a sequence of one-on-one routes. P.S. The Rye route will have plenty of Bourbon and Gin. 2. In each route, both romance partners are adults. The relationship develops naturally, and they sleep together after being in a relationship. Don't read if this bothers you. 3. Breaks up the canon Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano pairing. The organization boss is Black Conan, and there are two Conan timelines. Red Conan and Ran, as well as Shinichi and Ran, stay together. Black Conan is a hidden romance option. 4. No-couple ending. Upcoming novel, "Saving My Childhood Friends Starts with Romance Routes," visit my author page to read more: Yuki witnessed the deaths of her two childhood friends. One died in a high-rise apartment, the other on a Ferris wheel. Like two fireworks, after the tremendous noise and bright light, all that remained was darkness. She felt like she couldn't go on alone. If only Hagi and Jinpei were still here. She thought, "If there were a device that could turn back time to before everything happened, I wouldn't hesitate." She fell asleep with that thought in her mind. When she woke up, she had returned to childhood and been bound to a System. If she could win over both childhood friends in this timeline, she could return to the past and save them in the original world. So she decided to go down the childhood-friend route once more, confidently choosing the friendship and family-affection options. Then she watched both their affection scores stay at 80%, never budging. ...The requirements were so easy: 50% family affection plus 50% friendship. Why couldn't she reach them? Yuki didn't quite understand. It wasn't until the achievements she'd accumulated across two timelines earned her unprecedented results at the police academy and she was assigned to infiltrate an international criminal organization after joining the Public Security Bureau that she finally understood. Her direct superior, Liqueur, her gentle childhood friend with downturned eyes, smiled warmly. "Yuki, at least give us an explanation for disappearing without a word after college." Her assigned partner, Mescal, her curly-haired childhood friend with a villainous face, said, "Don't make up some ridiculous excuse to fool us. Just tell me honestly who you're looking at through me and Hagi." Yuki: Blank stare.jpg Theme: Being a lazy couch potato is no good, and relying on outside forces is no good. Only by relying on yourself and becoming strong can you become truly strong.
