Kissed Gin at 5:20, Came Back to Life at 13:14

[Feel-Good Story / Bonus Chapters Drop at Irregular Intervals / Obsessive, Brooding Man / Adult Romance: Undercover Agent Revives and Gets a HE with His Nemesis, Gin]

One day, Miskatonic University’s distinguished graduate, the deceased undercover agent Kirigiri Seiko, woke up four years in the future.

The sun still shone upon the earth, and the Organization was still up to no good. The only thing that had changed was that he had gone from a gloriously fallen undercover agent to an anomaly whose identity being exposed would mean certain death.

The Organization would never spare an anomaly who had returned from the dead. The agency he once belonged to would be just as determined to eradicate one.

Kirigiri Seiko wanted to stab himself once more and end it all. But the System stopped him in an emergency.

The System was called the [Criminology Simulator]. During missions, it gave people who had known him a face-distorting buff, so nobody could recognize him. All he had to do was infiltrate the Organization again and conduct field research, providing invaluable firsthand information for international security governance.

Once the mission was complete, he would be granted a genuine new life.

The System pleaded earnestly: If you kill yourself, your enemies will rejoice and your friends will suffer. Can you really bear that?

Kirigiri Seiko: Got it. Now that I’ve been reborn, I’ll avenge myself, slaughter every last enemy, and claim the throne as king of the underworld!

System: ...Sure, if you say so.

-

After grabbing his silver-haired partner by the hand and stabbing himself straight through, Kirigiri Seiko felt regret for the first time in ages.

Not because he was about to say goodbye to this garbage world, but because Gin’s expression at the time had been terrifying, as if he would come after him in the underworld the very next second.

That wouldn’t do.

In the pouring rain, the undercover investigator whose identity had been exposed grabbed his partner by the collar and kissed him fiercely.

-

But he didn’t manage to die.

Kirigiri Seiko, returned from the dead, stared at the [HP: 15] on his mission screen and fell into thought.

System: [You may look like you’re on your last legs, but completing missions will increase your HP.]

System: [Infiltrating a criminal organization does sound difficult, but it’s easy if you break it down into meeting members, getting to know the organization, and joining it. I recommend you start by approaching low-level members. Be sure to avoid high-risk code-name members, like Rum, Pinga, Gin...]

System: [Wait... Why is this high-risk person called Gin listed on the friendly side???]

1. An IF version of the previous story, where the protagonist was an undercover agent by birth. Like Earth 1 and Earth 2, the two stories are independent.

2. Plot-focused, with Miskatonic University as background. The main focus is Detective Conan, but you can enjoy it without knowing the series.

3. Hope you enjoy reading!

Theme: To make your voice ring through the world, you must first remain silent for a long time.
