The Detectives' Low-Ranking Family Member

In Edogawa Kagami's eyes, whether it was Edogawa Ranpo, her biological younger brother, or the younger officers under Instructor Onizuka...

They were all her little brothers.

After all, all she had to do was give them a look...

Ranpo would put away his snacks and obediently take his statement.

The younger officers at the police academy would immediately wonder if they'd broken another rule and gotten caught.

Even later, when she went undercover and ran into those younger officers again, they'd keep up their personas in public, then apologize to their senpai like crazy in private.

So much so that Morofushi Dai and Kudo Shinichi, who was using the alias Edogawa Conan, both found themselves caught up in it and claimed the status of "little brother" too.

Edogawa Kagami had thought that after the Black Organization was destroyed, she could return to the Special Division for Unusual Powers and enjoy a much more carefree "retirement."

But one of her juniors blocked every escape route and confessed to her with a smile.

Edogawa Kagami: ? So a little brother you picked up really can't compare to a real one!

Junior: ...That reaction is exactly what I expected. So, what's your answer?

Biological younger brother Edogawa Ranpo: What answer? I absolutely refuse! If you don't leave, I'll let Akutagawa out!

Note:

1. Uses the Bungo Stray Dogs alternate-universe setting and the main Detective Conan storyline. I absolutely refuse to accept the claim that "Matsuda has always liked Chihaya" made by Gosho Aoyama. Everything else will be kept as in character as possible.

2. Kagami is a user of supernatural abilities.

3. Couple to be decided. The author personally leans toward Hiro, but who knows if I'll change my mind before I start writing (?)

4. The first version of this blurb was finalized at 9:38 a.m. on 2022.11.04. The heroine's name and one-line introduction were changed at 4:12 p.m. on 2025/5/9, and a screenshot has been saved as proof.

Theme: We must work tirelessly for the people we hold dear.
