A Socially Anxious Master in the World of Detective Conan

*The story is complete, with a new bonus chapter (70%). Mwah~ Pirated copies are incomplete and use an old version from before revisions. Thanks for supporting the official release. Also known as: “Huh? Even a Socially Anxious Person Has to Be a Boss?” Number Zero transmigrated into this world and was socially anxious. Before he started the job, a senior colleague had tricked him, saying the Honmaru was a secluded, self-sufficient paradise with few people, perfect for someone socially anxious. But after officially starting work, he discovered: Secluded from the world × Forced to live together √ Self-sufficient × Fed by swords √ Few people × Nothing but sword spirits √ Beautiful paradise × Dark Honmaru √ Yes, Number Zero discovered that, through a twist of fate, he had ended up in a dark Honmaru. When he thought of dark Honmaru, the only image that came to mind was a meme: a building, a sign saying “Run,” and a command to flee. But Number Zero couldn't escape. The swords around him watched him hungrily, and if he showed even the slightest weakness, they might devour him, in every sense of the word ♂. So Number Zero decided to hide under his covers in his room and give up on life every day. A new Saniwa arrived at the desolate, gloomy Honmaru. Their spiritual power was so weak that only a few sword warriors could barely maintain human form, and they coldly watched the newcomer. They sensed the immense, pure spiritual power within the new Saniwa, and their dark-red eyes gleamed with cruelty and greed. But after only a few days together, they realized that whether they tried threats of death or sweet temptations, the Saniwa's gaze was always even colder and emptier than theirs. Number Zero: I'm so terrified of socializing that the moment our eyes meet, my brain reflexively goes completely blank. (With a profoundly serious look.) After some time, the sword spirits recovered from their past and, having become experts on human weaknesses, tried to seduce the Saniwa into focusing only on them: “Why is the Master's affection so hard to raise?!” “Damn it, why are those humans always hanging around the Master?!” Number Zero: That's what I've been saying. I'm socially anxious! [Blurb Two] Number Zero, who was socially anxious and spent all day holed up in his room, discovered what looked like a passage to the present world behind his bookshelf, left behind by the previous Saniwa. Number Zero looked solemn. Even though he was socially anxious, for the sake of his future personal safety, he could put up with it for a while, find a job in the present world that didn't involve interacting with humans, earn some money to buy a studio apartment, and then find a way to cut ties with the Honmaru and escape, right? Having chosen a way out in a second, the Saniwa stayed in the Honmaru by day and went to the present world at night. The two worlds had different time flows, and the present world was full of “science.” On the first day, he encountered a murder and became a suspect. On the second day, he encountered a bombing and became a suspect. On the third day, he encountered a robbery and became a hostage. Even more terrifying, it seemed that a certain elementary-schooler who showed up at every crime scene had his eye on him. The socially anxious Saniwa, who had once watched the entire anime and knew the plot by heart, fell apart. [Blurb Three] “Three, two, one, ” “Zero!” Both people instinctively turned around at the same time, then looked at each other. To Number Zero's horror, the blond man with dark skin ran toward him, looking delighted. “You! You're still alive!” Number Zero: Wait, aren't you an undercover Public Security agent? Why do you know me?! Number Zero came to this present world three times in total. The first time was the present world's [now]. Everyone knew him. Some called him a friend, while others treated him as the ruler of the underworld. The second time was the present world's [past]. The truth led him to lay the groundwork for everything. The third time was the present world's [future]. Countless people built shrines and worshipped him as a god. A few friendly reading notes: (1) A rescue story for the Police Academy Trio, with Touken Ranbu and Detective Conan. Plot-focused. (2) The swords have unrequited feelings for the Saniwa, with a love rivalry and different endings for different swords. (3) The protagonist is highly intelligent and socially anxious. The whole story is full of schemes, starting in hell and gradually setting traps to turn the tables and take down everyone.
