Kuroi Matsuwataru is an unremarkable, socially anxious person who's about to start his first day as a corporate drone. Or maybe he's halfway there. Right, he hasn't actually experienced life as a corporate drone yet, so he's about to join the company where his parents work as a programmer. Uh, but fate played a huge joke on him: he died on his birthday, three times, and got shot in the head every single time.
Kuroi Matsuwataru: ...Three headshots in a row. What luck! (Doesn't understand.jpg)
Soon enough, however, a self-proclaimed Game Wish Fulfillment System, No. 00, found him and told him that his getting shot in the head three times was actually its doing.
Kuroi Matsuwataru: ???
No. 00: This world is actually adapted from a manga, the most fun format of all, Detective Conan! The ultimate open-world mystery and detective series, with the highest degree of freedom, and a full range of gameplay, from management and story progression to fighting monsters!
Matsuwataru: Are you stacking buffs here or what?
No. 00: Calling the gameplay exciting isn't stacking buffs... Ahem. As long as you save a few people on the list, you can also remove the obstacles that would cause accidents at this point in the future, so neither you nor your family will have an accident at this point in time!
Kuroi Matsuwataru: (Thinking) Sure, but wait... why are there so many?
Staring at the long list of names, Kuroi Matsuwataru suddenly wanted to take it all back and quit.
No. 00: Hehe~☆
[The Sixth Man at the Police Academy · Athletic Good-for-Nothing · Severely Lopsided Tech Specialist]
From the dark web to the campus Wi-Fi, he could handle it all. Then, after staying up too late, his health went downhill, and the next day he ended up with a forehead temperature of 40 degrees...
"Kuroi Matsuwataru, did you skip physical training again yesterday?" Jinpei Matsuda flicked his overheated forehead, hot enough to fry an egg, at a loss to imagine how this problem student had passed the police academy's physical fitness test.
"That was a strategic absence. What's the use of physical fitness? In this information age, being able to wreak havoc on everything from the dark web to campus Wi-Fi is what takes skill. I'm so amazing, it'd be strange if the police academy didn't recruit me." Dazed, Kuroi Matsuwataru proudly stuck up his nose.
"...Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about what 'skill' means? The police academy trains police officers, not hackers."
"...You just don't get it."
The brilliant hacker uncovered the secret of the fated turning point and successfully saved Hagiwara.
But no matter what he did, he couldn't save Jinpei Matsuda.
The price of defying fate meant Kuroi Matsuwataru could go no further.
Kuroi Matsuwataru pondered for a while, then decided to take a gamble.
...At noon, he switched places with Jinpei Matsuda. In compartment 72, thick black smoke rose with the sound of a massive explosion. The sound waves shattered the glass, and the once spirited young man was shattered beyond recognition.
Kuroi Matsuwataru left a final message, scheduled to be sent later.
[If I die, don't forget me. And don't make my memorial photo too formal. Use one of my selfies~☆]
His casual tone sounded just like his usual teasing, as if it were just another thoughtless prank.
...Think this is a bad ending? Wrong! He can still come back to life!! Just look at him! He's doing great!
After his identity was exposed, Kuroi Matsuwataru saw the dark auras around the three people in front of him, then looked down at the offerings he'd just secretly taken for himself. He felt just a tiny bit guilty.
He tried to change the subject: "W-well... Jinpei-chan, the apples you bought aren't crunchy. Get something tasty next time, okay?"
Kuroi Matsuwataru was nearly beaten by all three of them at once, almost reduced to a cloud of blood...
No, not quite that badly.
[Distillery's Cointreau]
His intelligence-gathering skills are MAX, though no one knows where he gets his information. In front of outsiders, he's simply MAX. But his secret identities are so different from one another that after switching back overnight, he couldn't use his phone as himself. He was practically an antique.
Bourbon looked at him mockingly. "So you're an old fossil, Cointreau."
...Go ahead and laugh. Just wait till I switch secret identities again. I'll privately send that photo of you cross-dressing, with your face censored, to the curly-haired Jinpei! Oh, my last secret identity faked its death, didn't it? Then I'll pretend to be Hiromitsu. Hehe.
While spending time with his classmates and childhood friends, Kuroi Matsuwataru learned the truth about his classmates' deaths. Though he feared death, he never wavered from his goal. With me, Kuroi Matsuwataru, here,
he seemed to be confronting the world's will:
I will protect you all, so
-not one of you can be missing.
Reader's guide:
* Kuroi Matsuwataru is a local and doesn't know the Detective Conan plot. No. 00 showed him the manga, but he hasn't read much of it. Although he's a homebody, for some reason he can't really stay home in this world.
* There are fake deaths and misunderstandings. Not a single Kuroi Matsuwataru gets hurt in this story.
* If this isn't for you, please leave right away. This is a self-indulgent fix-it fic. The mystery-solving is very dumbed down (I can't write it), but I'll write about the world itself: this Detective Conan world is real, with one-way affection, a Mobius loop, multiple runs, save scumming, exposed secret identities, a closed time loop, and so on...
* There are lots of personal headcanons and original characters.
Theme: You are the source of all my strength
(Fried rice) (Looking at the order) (Make a sharp crackling sound) "Sir, you are here. Do you want to eat first, eat first, or eat first?" The names of the dishes include: "It's called Soul Exercise" "In order to survive, I chose to take the lead first" "About my dream, it is indeed not a dream" "This lunch is not worth grabbing" "'Rebellion' is good for physical and mental health"... What do you want?
Squat, squat, the copywriting is quite interesting.
Kindhearted people, please leave a comment, I want to interact with Modo Modo 😭
Family members, if you don't reply, I feel like there are so many ants crawling on my body, eh 😭 😭
Then I will speed up, and I will enter the winery dungeon [Pigeon] after more than ten chapters.
I have a question, do you think Zhu Fu Jingguang and Ling know each other now? [Loading] Because this dungeon is called Chun He Jingming, you know, there is also a scene with Zhu Fu Jingguang [Pigeon] The dungeon will end in about two chapters.
I haven't collected more than one chapter in April
Dad, ah ah ah ah ah - the child is going to starve to death QAQ
I finished reading it in a short while, so I'll put it in my favorites for a while.
