Pixel Tales of Beika Town

[Taking a break. My phone data was lost, so I need to reorganize the outline.]

With nothing better to do, a player downloaded A Pixel Tale of Mihua Town. He started with a pixelated thatched cottage and a plot of land, and could level up and grow stronger by farming and fighting monsters.

Like any other pay-to-win game, it tried every trick to get him to spend money. Even features that came with the game had to be purchased.

He'd heard that spending enough money could get you through the game!

The player, whose family was reasonably well-off, laughed. He looked down on games where spending money was all it took to win.

When it came time to customize his character, he was faced with a selection of bizarre outfits:

[Put on this uniform and become the pride of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department! Many protagonists have worn it, and countless players have blessed it.]

[Put on this black trench coat and become a Top Killer! It is stained with the blood of countless people. They say you can hear wails from the abyss when you get close. Wear it, and the Grim Reaper will have its eyes on you.]

[Made exclusively for elementary school students! Put it on and experience the thrill of a day that feels like a year! The same outfit as ■■■■. They say wearing it will make you a detective who gets drawn to crime scenes! Tough as nails, fireproof! You deserve to own one!]

After weighing the pros and cons, the player, who had a natural fondness for the police, chose the first outfit.

When the police academy group cards he'd worked so hard to collect turned black while he was fighting monsters, and he suffered repeated failures even after loading his save over and over, the player angrily spent N bundles of 648 yuan. He never expected that...

[Congratulations! You have become the mayor of Mihua Town!]

[Congratulations on reaching VIP Level 8! Check your mailbox to claim your unlocked rewards!!]

[Would you like to broadcast this to the world?]

Looking at the options that popped up on the screen, the player unhesitatingly chose [Yes].

---Mihua Town---

The Tohto Tower glowed orange. On the towering buildings surrounding it, billboards endlessly repeated a strange message.

[Congratulations to player [Yingming Shenwu] on becoming the mayor of Mihua Town!!]

The Black Organization, lurking in the shadows and manipulating elections on all sides, was alarmed. It ordered Bourbon from its intelligence division to investigate.

As Bourbon, Amuro Toru, a man with three identities, stared at the message on his phone with a guarded expression. Once again, his mind returned to the dream he'd had.

The dawn broke across the sky. He and his friends reunited at the police academy, walking toward a bright future beneath the falling cherry blossoms.

Author's content warnings:

1. OOC warning.

2. The player is not the sixth member of the police academy group!!

3. I'm playing around with something really awkward.

4. Inspired by the many pixel-game fanfics based on Jujutsu Kaisen. The author hasn't played much of the game, so I may get things wrong or leave things out. Please bear with me.
