A Laid-Back True-Believer Only Wants to Survive Until the Finale

Nagasawa Yu, also known as Ricky, is an unremarkable real member of the organization. The organization took him in when he was a child. Aside from his refined, well-behaved appearance, he was mediocre in every way. While Gin and Vermouth were making names for themselves and striking fear throughout the organization, he quietly earned a codename on the strength of being trustworthy and was sent undercover to the police academy. Then, during a bomb-disposal operation, a criminal retaliated against the bomb squad, and the resulting explosion left him on the brink of death. When Ricky woke up in the hospital, he discovered a mysterious forum app had appeared on his phone. On the forum, he saw that his world was a manga. He saw the senior who had shielded him with his body when the bomb exploded, and that senior's close friends, dying one after another. He saw the organization fall at the end. And he saw that after his true identity was exposed, he would become a disposable character whom people remembered fondly. Ricky, who only wanted to lie flat, slack off, and eat and sleep until he died, stared wide-eyed. "Ding dong." The forum administrator sent him a message: "Chosen boy, would you like to rewrite this ending?" "Work hard to raise your profile, and you can rewrite the manga's script~" After finally putting in some effort to repay his senior for saving his life, Nagasawa Yu lay back and thought it over. He decided he could still go back to slacking off. "All I need is name recognition, not popularity. As long as I keep showing up at crime scenes with Inspector Megure, talk nonsense about the cases, answer the Grim Reaper whenever he asks a question, and occasionally have a big moment, manga fans won't forget me with this face of mine, will they?" "Besides, hardly anyone suspects that Senior Takagi could be from the organization!" Having gone to great lengths to transfer to First Investigative Division, Nagasawa Yu thought confidently at the crime scene: "I've decided! My target is Senior Takagi! No one can stand in the way of my life of slacking off!"
