Welcome to the Poirot Café

[The novel will go premium on January 17, 2025, with a 10,000-word update that day!]

[Editor's note, September 12, 2026: I very, very much don't recommend reading this. It's all over the place, and the perspective is a little muddled. On top of that, recent events involving Conan have made me hesitate. I'm sorry this may not give you an enjoyable reading experience, orz. I don't recommend this book, but if you insist on reading it, that's fine too (just please don't yell at me if it doesn't land for you). If you feel uncomfortable while reading, please stop right away. I'm sorry again, orz...]

[Do not recommend reading this. Do not recommend reading this. Do not recommend reading this!]

Strange people come to the Poirot Cafe every day, according to the golden-haired Japanese public security officer.

For instance, one day a group of people with strange names showed up. The half-long-haired man leading them smiled and asked a schoolgirl at the next table if she'd like to die with him. When his green-haired companion stopped him, he eagerly asked me for a cup of coffee made with dish soap.

Or another day, a white-haired man wearing an eye mask rushed into the Poirot Cafe with three students. After trying the desserts, his eyes lit up and he pulled out a card, saying he'd pay for all the sweets in the place.

Or perhaps a man in a gray suit came in with a middle schooler nicknamed "Extra." As soon as Extra stepped inside, he sensed a chilly atmosphere.

Or... Wait! Whose calico cat is that? Will it really be okay for a fat cat to eat all that???

The golden-haired public security officer is exhausted by all the strange people who come here every day.

He's uncovered the world's great secret: the world, which used to follow the rules of Conan's deductive logic, no longer does.

Espers, sorcerers, psychics, exorcists... What kind of mess is all this?

Even more shocking, his good old classmate has somehow learned these strange skills too... Wait! What are you all competing over now?

[Werewolf game scenes will appear early on, but not later.]

Please note:

1. The police academy crew all survive in this lighthearted story.

2. No character bashing.

3. The OOC is mine; the characters belong to Aoyama-sensei. There are all sorts of fantastical headcanons because I'm too lazy to do research.

4. This is a silly, light-novel-style ensemble story with plenty of headcanons. Purists, back off! Back off! Back off!

5. There may be Werewolf game scenes early on. No worries if you haven't played, I'll explain everything clearly.

6. If you can't keep reading, just leave. There's no need to say so in the comments.

7. It's probably going to be a long story. If something doesn't make sense, don't worry, it'll all be explained later.

8. The System becomes less prominent later on. The perspective shifts around because this is an ensemble story, so please don't read if that bothers you.

Regarding piracy protection: Readers with less than 60% of the novel purchased won't be able to buy the latest chapters for 48 hours.

Here's a preorder listing: When the God of Death Comes to Tokyo Jujutsu High

1.

Toshiro Hitsugaya, captain of the Tenth Division of the Gotei 13 in Soul Society, discovers during a protection mission that the one who stole the King's Seal is his childhood friend. He decides to retrieve the seal alone. On his way to the World of the Living, he accidentally gets caught in a space-time current and swept into a place called "Tokyo Jujutsu High."

Toshiro Hitsugaya: ...?

New students Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Ieiri Shoko: ...?

Where did this guy come from?

2.

After retrieving the King's Seal and returning to Soul Society, Hitsugaya joins the captains and vice-captains of the Gotei 13 in a battle against the traitorous Aizen and his Arrancars in the skies above Karakura Town. Somehow, as he begins his Bankai, Hitsugaya falls in front of Fushiguro Toji and Gojo Satoru.

Toshiro Hitsugaya's hand trembles slightly as he holds his Zanpakuto: ...Where am I now?

Gojo Satoru: ?

Fushiguro Toji: ?

3.

During the Thousand-Year Blood War, Soul Society is attacked by the many Quincy. Hitsugaya regains his Bankai, but the next second, he inexplicably enters another time-space and arrives in Shibuya.

Toshiro Hitsugaya, looking particularly world-weary: I'm used to it.

Fushiguro Megumi, Kugisaki Nobara, and Itadori Yuji are stunned. "Why is there a kid in the battle zone? Get over here!"

Gojo Satoru stands behind them, holding Geto Suguru by the shoulders and laughing so hard he can barely stand. "An elementary schooler... An elementary schooler who can freeze you into a popsicle."

Toshiro Hitsugaya: ...

"Bankai, Daiguren Hyorinmaru!"

Note:

[I don't bash Hinamori, but I'm not comfortable with the Hitsugaya-Hinamori ship. There is no romance for Hitsugaya in this story, so please don't bring it up in the comments.]

OOC is my responsibility; the characters belong to their author.

I'm a fan of Toshiro Hitsugaya (which should be pretty obvious in the story). I got into the old anime Bleach these past few days and got excited, so I started writing!

Theme: When facing problems, you don't have to force yourself to handle everything alone. It's okay to ask others for help.
