A Life of Drinks in a World of Science

Completed Free Novel: [Detective Conan] Good, Cat Rei! Pre-registration: Bourbon's Many-Sided Wardrobe, see below. Please read the content warnings at the very bottom before you start. In his previous life, the Celestial Master Yun Mi choked to death on a mouthful of salted soda. He was reborn in another world as a pampered young master from China. With shrewd parents and a capable older brother, he lived a leisurely life that everyone envied. No one would have guessed that, ever since childhood, he'd been troubled by a strange ability. What kind of superpower was it? Yun Mi glowered at the grape soda, peach oolong tea, green tangerine pu'er, strawberry milk, Scotch, and Bourbon lined up in front of him. He gave a cold laugh. All he had to do was take one sip of a drink, and he'd dream all night about a particular person's memories! And if he drank too much, things got even worse. He'd be completely locked in, experiencing what that person saw and felt for ten seconds as if he were right there. Yun Mi took a tipsy sip of rye whiskey. His eyes lost focus. Great, another one. Poor Mi Mi had it rough, but he wasn't saying a thing. What about drinking only plain water? No way. Absolutely not! Yun Mi hadn't taken this incredible ability seriously. After all, those people spoke Japanese, and they were a long way away! Who knew that, when he was twenty-one, four ghosts would suddenly appear in his family's liquor cabinet and refuse to leave, no matter what he tried? He also started dreaming every night about the past of a certain blond, dark-skinned public security officer. He never got another good night's sleep. Yun Mi struggled to his feet, dark circles under his eyes, and flew to Japan in the middle of the night to find the four ghosts' former classmates. Please, take those guys away! But why didn't they leave with you? And why have you captured my heart, too? A few things to know: 1. The protagonist has only vaguely read the first 600 episodes of the original series and doesn't know much about the Police Academy group. However, for certain special reasons, he knows about Hiro and Zero, and the bond between them. 2. The amount of each drink needed to trigger a shared sensory experience varies. 3. As the story develops, more drinks will start affecting the protagonist. 4. He still has his Celestial Master abilities, but they won't upset the balance of the world. Content warnings: 1. There are many original interpretations, and the characters may be out of character. 2. This is a slice-of-life story. The author's intelligence is limited, so they can't write particularly thrilling showdowns. 3. The author only loves Rei. They're fairly kind to the other characters, too, but Rei will always come first. 4. The author is busy with real life, so updates are irregular, about once every two to four days. If you don't like that, feel free to wait until there are more chapters. [Pre-registration: Bourbon's Many-Sided Wardrobe, pairing: Rei] "Every member with a codename in the Organization is eccentric, but Kirsch is especially messed up!" When he was inexplicably transferred to the support division, Amuro Toru suddenly remembered something Vermouth had once said. Kirsch, the Cherry Brandy who controls all the Organization's ill-gotten wealth, is someone even Gin doesn't dare provoke. What kind of person could he be? * Tsukino Oriyo was the most renowned designer on the magical continent. Countless wondrous outfits had been born from his hands. The day after he finished designing the work he was most proud of, earning acclaim and honors galore... He woke up to find his world turned upside down! For some inexplicable reason, he had become the head of the support division, codenamed Kirsch, in a transnational criminal organization in another world. Tsukino Oriyo: ... He wanted to quit, but a mage's intuition kept warning him that the secret to returning home was buried in the deepest part of the Organization. To find his chance, Tsukino Oriyo knuckled down and got to work. But who could have guessed that this damn support division was such a shambolic mess? Every member was useless, and whenever trouble arose, he was the only one who could step up. Just when he finally found a few useful ones, Gin killed them off like rats. Tsukino Oriyo: Gin, what is wrong with you?! Enough was enough. He'd had it. He went on the offensive, poaching capable subordinates from the other divisions by any means necessary. This time, if someone was useful, he'd save them, even if they were a rat! But he never expected to find an unexpected delight among his subordinates: That sweet blond darling could heal anything. Tsukino Oriyo realized that the inspiration he'd lost after transmigrating had suddenly surged back like a spring bubbling to life. At last, he'd found his muse in another world. * Amuro Toru had this to say: My new boss is sharp-tongued, mean, and crazy, but he responds to kindness rather than force and is surprisingly easy to placate. Being forced to change outfits every day is a bit much, but the outfits' abilities are pretty good, so I can put up with it. And so, within the Organization, we get to see... Detective Rei! Shrunken Rei! Invisible Rei! Flying Rei! And Rei, loved and cherished by someone! Blurb first posted: 2024/2/26 First revision: 2024/8/12 Theme: Justice will ultimately triumph over evil
