Damn you, old man Aoyama!
I'm never writing Detective Conan again after this, orz
[New novel, "Teyvat, But Infinite Flow", an identity-disguise story built around misunderstandings. It's now underway, so interested readers can go check it out, qwq.]
The new novel was originally titled "When Genshin Impact Secret Identities Become Infinite-Flow NPCs", so don't be surprised if you see that title, QVQ.
All chapters are open for comments. If you find anything that needs changing, let me know and I'll fix it, orz.
Blurb:
Ever since being bound by the System, Nanao Yuzuki hasn't had a single peaceful day.
“So you want me to direct and star in a detective drama, wear a secret identity and kill myself, and take charge of an international criminal organization on top of that?!”
Nanao, good citizen, Yuzuki stares in confusion. Me?
And so, sometime later, something seems to change in the peaceful town of Beika.
Beside a victim who has collapsed from poisoning, a suspect who should be overcome with grief breaks into a delighted smile when no one is looking.
A criminal who should be locked up and awaiting execution, along with his file, suddenly vanishes without a trace.
A cold, selfish member of the organization pushes a traitor to safety in the final moments of his life.
Afterward, criminal cases grow more and more frequent, while the Black Organization suddenly falls silent.
The shrunken detective adjusts his gleaming glasses.
The workload of the famous police officer increases once again.
The triple-faced public security agent reveals his Bourbon eyes, secretly investigating the source of it all.
And Nanao Yuzuki... downs a big gulp of coffee at her desk and pounds it in frustration.
Suspect, secret identity who breaks into laughter because the performance is going so well
Criminal, secret identity retrieved after the performance so he won't cause trouble for the prison
Organization member, secret identity frightened by Amuro Tooru's reckless demand for clues
Nanao Yuzuki says all three have something to say.
Behind every script overturned by a detective is a writer driven to despair and on the verge of going bald.
“System, look at them! Keeping their eyes on my secret identities isn't enough. Now they want to drag the real me into it too!”
She sighs and props her head up with one hand.
Her loose bangs fall across her face. Unseen by anyone, excitement and anticipation burn in the young woman's eyes.
“But... a script full of twists and turns is the kind of script that shines. Isn't it?”
Reader's Guide:
1. The pairing is with a certain dark-skinned detective. Other popular characters, such as Akai and Gin, are background characters.
2. All the victims and perpetrators in Nanao's scripts are secret identities. The heroine herself has a strong moral compass, but she isn't on the Red side, or part of any official force. The version of her in the manga has already gone dark. Her secret identities come in all sorts of varieties.
(Disclaimer: A secret identity's attitude does not represent the real person's attitude. Don't attribute a character's attitude to the author.)
(Once again, she isn't on the Red side! She's just an ordinary, somewhat kind-hearted person with a sense of justice.)
3. OOC warning, questionable logic, an ordinary protagonist, lots of plot holes in the scripts, and not a wish-fulfillment story. All the (de)buffs are stacked.
4. The only original characters in the organization who are secret identities are the Boss and Rum. The rest are real people. Vermouth and Gin are real people, but they're background characters in this novel.
5. Amuro will eventually find out about the System, but her identity won't be exposed in front of anyone else.
6. The timeline of the original story will be changed slightly. The Rum arc will retain its general direction, and half the story will be original.
Extra Chapters:
1. Forum: How to Survive After Transmigrating into the Detective Conan World (Some readers have a bit of a grudge against “Nanao,” and there are also people who enjoy shipping unusual couples. Read with caution, QAQ.)
2. Interview with the editor (Manga Amuro/Nanao pairing, though there isn't much romance, haha.)
3. Nanao Is Nanao (bad ending)
4. Beika Town Rules for Staying Safe (all the points go into being cryptic, orz)
5. A Trip Through the Original Story, QVQ
6. The Theory That Nanao Is the Boss Turns Out to Be True!
One last plug for my new novel, "Teyvat, But Infinite Flow", which will launch in January.
Bad news: Yun Hanmian has been dragged into an infinite-flow space.
Good news: A certain two-character game has come with her as a secret-identity system.
The taskers soon notice that the dungeons, originally full of danger, seem to have changed strangely overnight:
In a bar, a bard who looks like a boy has passed out beside a table. He mumbles to the bartender that he's already an adult, while strands of hair curl and move with magic despite the lack of wind.
Tasker: I'll buy you a drink, but first tell me why your face looks just like the statue's!
On an ancient battlefield strewn with abandoned graves, a girl with bright plum blossoms at her temples hums a creepy song. She turns and smiles, and evil spirits appear everywhere.
Tasker: I mean, getting dragged “to the underworld” was enough the first time...
A woman wearing a fox mask stands gracefully as cherry blossoms drift down from empty air, then scatter into smoke and vanish in the wind.
Tasker: Waaaah, Hanasato, come back!
Yun Hanmian looks at the rapidly rising observation value for her secret identities on the panel and is very pleased. She smiles, resting her chin on her hand.
“Just one or two more dungeons, and I'll have enough observation value.”
“Host, I'll leave the rest to you. Please be sure to watch out for the Lord God.”
She watches the System fall asleep after leaving only a few brief lines, then slowly lets the lively expression drop from her face. Her gaze into the distance is calm and empty.
You really do trust me, don't you? You call yourself a System, yet you dared to bet everything on me. She murmurs to herself.
Doesn't that leave me with no reason to turn back?

Ling Ling: This is the first time I am speechless to someone, but it happens to be myself [Joker]
Let us see it all emotionally! Yo yo yo (bushi) [eat melon] [come on]
There is still a sense of trance, a feeling of "Is this the end?"
It comes to an end and ends with flowers [red heart]
~Given lilies~
Gift to "Jiang Gu Ling" [Lily]*1
For "Nanabi Yuzuki" [Lily]*1
Ah... The ending looks like a mess, the tail ends, the beginning and end echoes [dog head]
Hahahaha, is my mind that big? Ling Ling was shocked. Yes, Ling Ling's imagination is really that big!
Although, the hidden rule is never to harm others... It's hard for players not to be fooled (the conditions are harsh for unscrupulous players) [Dog Head] is probably the type that players will scold the planner.
Yay! Open Big Boss! Long live Nanao~!
Spread flowers, flowers, flowers, flowers: D stickers are big, new books coming again?
[Spread flowers] [Come on] [Rainbow fart] (stick Nanao) (stick big) (jump around) (sprinkle flowers) (take a group photo~)?????
OK~ The Seven-Tailed Belt System has started (?) And is it going to end? Reluctant to part with it, QWQ (stretch out paw to touch) (grab) (stick) [cat's claw]

Ling Ling: I have such a big brain.
Are the ideas on both sides too far apart? Hahaha
