When I Became an Elementary Schooler for Ten Thousand Years

My name is Hanekawa Natsuki, and there's something wrong with my world.

As someone who transmigrated, I know transmigration itself is already strange and unscientific. But I still have to say, the situation now is even stranger than transmigration!

Hanekawa Natsuki was a Chinese person in her previous life. After dying unexpectedly, she transmigrated to Japan next door and became a baby. With all the knowledge she had accumulated in her previous life, she easily outclassed the other kids. Under the halo of a "child prodigy," she grew up safe and happy until the age of seven, then entered first grade at Teitan Private Elementary School on a full scholarship…

And then the horror story began…

First, her programmer dad, who loved plaid shirts, noticed something was off. "That's strange. I finished writing the program after pulling an all-nighter last night, so why is it all gone when I wake up?!"

Then her mom, who was always eager to take advantage of department store discounts, asked, "Huh? The department store just had its midyear sale last week. Why are they announcing another midyear sale today?"

Hanekawa Natsuki, who had long realized something was wrong with her world, said, "Have none of you noticed that we've gone through four Valentine's Days in half a month?!"

Hanekawa Natsuki thought she had discovered the truth about the world: it was controlled by a cosmic program, and a bug had trapped their family of three in a loop!

Until one day, Hanekawa Natsuki came face-to-face with the top student from the class next door. He was a bespectacled bookworm with square frames, and introduced himself like this: "My name is Edogawa xx. I'm a detective."

"!" That day, Hanekawa Natsuki finally experienced what it was like to suck in a sharp breath. It wasn't that the world had a bug. It was because this was the Detective Conan world!

In other words, as long as Edogawa-kun hadn't taken down the Black Organization, and as long as he was still a grade-schooler, Hanekawa Natsuki would have to stay a grade-schooler too!

But according to Hanekawa Natsuki's memories from her previous life, Edogawa-kun had been serialized for a full twenty-four years! Did that mean she would be a grade-schooler for twenty-four years?!

Hanekawa Natsuki fell into despair. As someone who had transmigrated, she was a chosen one destined to achieve great things. How could she let herself fail here!

Hanekawa Natsuki was sure that in this life she would grow up to be a handsome man, one meter eighty-three tall. She absolutely did not want to be a grade-schooler forever!

Hanekawa Natsuki refused to accept this! Hanekawa Natsuki would fight against fate!

And so, from then on, Edogawa-kun gained a shadow: Hanekawa-kun, the top student from the class next door.

Whenever Edogawa-kun happened to get carried away with the joys of being a grade-schooler, his shadow, Hanekawa-kun, would suddenly appear behind him with an ominous air and murmur in a chilling tone, "Edogawa-kun, do you still remember your original purpose and mission?"

Go fight the Black Organization!!! Refuse to lie flat! Get moving!
