Rewriting the Script in the World of Detective Conan

[Considering changing this to no CP. Still working it out, and I’ll decide before starting the story. If there is a CP, it’ll be the dependable Akai-sensei.]

*

An original writer for an animation studio, Yu Shiyuan Yiniao, who had a forum bound to him, transmigrates into the original story one day. Watching the stupid plot he wrote to get past the censors play out in real life, he finally pulls out his keyboard.

Time to rewrite the script.

◆

[Is it just me, or has the anime’s original content been consistently good lately?]

[Is that what you call consistent? So many brilliant ideas packed into such a short segment. I’m starting to wonder if some genius is writing under a secret identity!]

[The screenwriter’s a newcomer. I looked him up, and his work is really inconsistent. He wrote both the 3.2-rated California Haunted House and the recent 9.6-rated Heavenly Carriage...]

[Is that the haunted-house story where a male A falls in love with a female lesbian, gets a sex change and dates her, then flies into a rage when he’s found out and kills female A, before trying to use her little sister, female B, as a replacement? Then female B tricks him into the haunted house to get revenge, planning to kill male A with her boyfriend, only for the boyfriend to fall in love with the transformed male A? That crazy case? And he wrote the masterpiece Heavenly Carriage too???]

[...Now that I know the same screenwriter wrote both, the haunted house suddenly seems pretty good. So what if the ending was a mess? At least the suspense was excellent throughout. It had the feel of old-school Conan from the last century... I’m changing my rating.) Let Yu Shiyuan-sensei write more cases! I really don’t want to watch Ura○○o anymore!]

[By the way, did you see the preview? Yu Shiyuan-sensei is also writing next year’s theatrical film. If he really is a newcomer, that’s incredible.]

[New info! A new character in the latest manga chapter is also named Yu Shiyuan Yiniao. He’s a super gentle-looking pretty boy! It’s canon!]

Yu Shiyuan Yiniao: ...Me?

◆

Yu Shiyuan Yiniao, a new character added to the main storyline by the original author as a tribute to the screenwriter who repeatedly wrote high-quality original plots. He seems to have landed a very important script.

His allegiances are unclear. He’s closely connected to both the Red and Black sides, seems to know everyone’s secrets, and is revered as a mysterious member of the scriptwriting group.

"Q: Teacher 73, is Yu Shiyuan on the Red side?

A: Is he? (laughs)

Q: Could he be on the Black side?!

A: That’s possible too (laughs)"

After learning he’d entered the main storyline, Yu Shiyuan Yiniao wore a gloomy expression.

"...Before, I only had to worry about ratings for the original episodes. Now I’m responsible for the main storyline’s ratings too?"

"Hm?"

"It can’t be helped. Mr. Amuro or Mr. Okiya, does either of you have time to pretend to be a couple with me?"

"?"

Reader’s guide:

① As an animation studio’s original screenwriter, the protagonist is firmly on the Red side, though he’ll have a gray identity. The Red side is guaranteed to win.

② There’s a forum, and the story starts from the first year of Conan. It’s Conan only, no crossovers with other series, including slice-of-life series.

③ The CP is undecided. The flirtatious offer in the synopsis is just a little trick by the devious screenwriter to pique the audience’s interest. It doesn’t indicate who the final CP will be. The CP will be decided as the story progresses, and no canon couples will be broken up. Or it might be no CP at all. I haven’t decided before starting the story, so I’ll think about it some more. Maybe the CP will be Akai (if there is one, it’ll be Akai).

④ I’ll do my best to avoid OOC and capture the original’s flavor... If anyone acts OOC, just treat it as an original anime episode!
