Nothing is more terrifying than waking up one morning and discovering you've lost your memory. Unless it's searching yourself from head to toe and finding that the only thing that can prove who you are is a Monokuma tablet.
Luckily, after checking carefully, Kazehaya Yuma confirmed he wasn't trapped in a school, on a deserted island, or anywhere else completely sealed off. He was standing on an ordinary street at night.
With no memories of his past, Kazehaya Yuma finally opened the tablet, though not very willingly.
The next second, a scream came from the nearby alley.
Monokuma's cute voice, edged with a hint of malice, rang out of nowhere in his mind: [A body has been discovered! Turn left, go straight for fifty meters, and enter the alley beside the street!]
[In the talent-filled Beika Town, the shadow of a case hangs over every corner. Do you want to be a culprit? Or the mastermind behind the scenes? Or perhaps the most challenging role of all, the victim?]
[Upupupu...]
[Come on! Make your choice! To recover your missing memories, let's begin a new round of ○○○○!]
Kazehaya Yuma: ...For a moment, I can't decide whether to be more shocked that this is Beika Town or to complain that culprit and victim are both terrible options.
After agonizing over it for a while, he still headed toward the alley, brushing past several men dressed in black.
After taking in the scene and the people who were clearly connected to the case, Kazehaya Yuma sighed and called out to them.
"Wait! The case hasn't been solved yet. I'm the Super High School Level Detective, Kazehaya Yuma, and none of you are leaving today!"

"Why... why are you here? Tell me... Kazehaya, aren't you a detective?"
"What are you talking about?" The white-haired boy gave an exasperated smile. He spread his hands and answered in a patient, gentle voice. "No one ever gave me the option of being a detective."
"Of course I'm the Super High School Level Mastermind. I have the talent to solve cases too, no matter how trivial they are."
"Heh... are you in despair?"
◆Side Story◆
One day, a thief broke into Kazehaya Yuma's home and discovered a mysterious room. The room had three locks, and a very prominent sign that read: Private Area! Keep Out!
Certain that this was where the homeowner kept his valuables, the thief was overjoyed. It took him ages, but he finally picked the locks.
He had never imagined he would see a sight like this. He thought he would never forget it for as long as he lived.
When he opened the door, what greeted him was...
The private collection room of Kazehaya Yuma, Super High School Level Underwear Collector (?).
Kazehaya Yuma: I've really had enough. If anyone gives me underwear again, I'm cutting them off.
[Reading Guide]
1. A standalone Detective Conan story, with Danganronpa as background material. You can think of it simply as the protagonist being bound to a Danganronpa System. You can understand the story even if you haven't read Danganronpa.
2. The protagonist is an excellent actor and, as the blurb says, a mastermind-type talent with a very strong sense of self. He often acts like a terrible person, but he's actually good-natured. The underwear joke in the side story comes from the game, where you can receive the other character's underwear after reaching max affinity.
3. I made a parody with an original-world setting. It's in the Aifadian series near the bottom of my profile. I'll publish it later as a supplement to the main story.
4. That's all for now. I'll polish the blurb, but the basic idea won't change. If you like it, please add it to your collection!
Theme: Whether it's hope or the future, you must hold it in your own hands.
