Playing the Red-versus-Black Faction War in the World of Detective Conan

Careful, there's a trap ahead!

The whole story may be replaced later.

Ruyue Xiasheng is a distillery employee with little work and good pay. She always thought she was perfectly normal, until one day she was bound to a game System.

Good news: This world is a comic, and she is one of its players.

Bad news: There are eight other players like her.

Question: What do you do if a game's Red and Black factions are wildly unbalanced, and you're on the Black side?

As one of the few genuine members of the distillery, Ruyue Xiasheng feels it's her duty to save the organization! Since the players' identities are kept secret from one another in the game, she first has to find her teammates.

A certain blond man with dark skin, ruthless and vicious, seems like a teammate? Add him.

A certain guitarist is very friendly to her, so he must be a teammate, too. Add him.

And there's a young detective who keeps showing up near her every few days, asking all sorts of questions.

Wait, could he be one of them, too...?

After working tirelessly to find all her teammates, Ruyue Xiasheng looks at her side's lineup: a mascot, a reader who only knows the setting from online discussions, a slacker who's even lazier than she is, and a troublemaker.

Then she looks at the other side's lineup: a famous psychologist, an overachiever, a genius detective, and a police officer with incredible combat skills.

Ruyue Xiasheng: ...I honestly had no idea the organization had so many fake members. I thought we'd win for sure. Is it too late to defect? Asking online, urgent!

New good news: By a stroke of luck, the enemy also thinks she's on their side.

Even worse news: The faction listed on her character card can't be changed (.

Reading guide:

[1] Main plot follows the Red and Black conflict; the endgame pairing is undecided. It might disappear as I write, or it might appear. There will be one-sided crushes along the way, so it counts as romance.

[2] A light ensemble cast, mainly from the heroine's perspective. The heroine is on the Black side and won't switch factions.

[3] This is a trap!!!
