[The first draft of this story outline was set for November 2022. Asking 73 to spare us a betrayal now is probably too late, so watch out for plot holes.]
As everyone knows, the most essential plot point in a cheesy, heart-rending soap opera is a rich beauty throwing herself at a poor guy. Though Hattori Heiji isn't exactly poor.
You think I'm the rich beauty?
Wrong. I'm the childhood friend of the rich beauty who's been blinded by love :)
Kitano Natsuki, age 17, is a bright and beautiful high school girl. Right now, she's in the middle of a glorious mission to cut the red thread tying her childhood friend to someone else.
Then one day, she had the misfortune of becoming... the victim in a classic Conan three-choice mystery.
But all is not lost. The Female Supporting Character Comeback System makes its grand entrance!
System: Hello, dear. We're the Female Supporting Character Comeback System. What's your strongest wish right now?
Kitano Natsuki, poisoned and on the brink of death: I think I hear Hattori Heiji... Is he coming to solve my case?!
System: That's right. That's what happens in the original plot. So, would you like to make a comeback and become Hattori Heiji's
Kitano Natsuki: Help me up! I'm going to let the murderer get away! I will never let that bastard Hattori Heiji use my case to boost his track record!
System: ?
System: Nice.
A no-CP female protagonist story. The protagonist is childhood friends with Ooka Momiji. It's really a story about the girls of Detective Conan. Guard against fire, theft, and (unreliable) romance. Girls, stick together!
"Women have minds, souls, and passionate hearts. They have not only beauty, but ambition and talent. I'm tired of people saying that all there is in a woman's world is love."
