● This novel's blurb↓↓

Nanami Nana is a shoujo manga artist with an E-rank luck stat.

Then one day, she wins the only beta-testing slot for Doki~Doki~Bewitching☆Love☆Curse☆High~, the first full-dive dating sim set in the Detective Conan world.

And her cursed technique is a room you can't leave until you complete the task.

The System assigns tasks at random. They might ask for a confession, a hug, a kiss, and so on.

Nana rubs her hands together. Oh, more, more! Just watch this professional shoujo manga artist create an absolutely amazing happy ending!

At first, the cursed technique activates against her will, and every romanceable character gets trapped in a room with her once:

The white-haired senpai is very unhappy about it, but he knows Nana didn't do it on purpose. He reluctantly gives her a hug, then grumbles that there won't be a next time.

Nana: I get it, I get it. This is the route where the arrogant tsundere young master falls in love with me

The black-haired senpai closes his eyes with the look of a man facing his death, forced to tell the truth.

When he opens his eyes, he smiles and tells her to be more careful next time. He doesn't like this sort of thing.

Nana: So this must be the route for the secretly twisted, possessive genius

Her golden-haired classmate, who also happens to share her surname, is a perfectly decent guy. Unfortunately, Nana draws a French kiss.

Afterward, he doesn't push her away right away. Looking exasperated, as if she'd completely taken advantage of him, he says he's honestly always thought of her as a little sister.

Nana delivers her verdict: I knew this was the route where we're not related by blood

She immediately calls back, "Big Brother Nanami."

Her golden-haired classmate: "..."

His face wears the expression of a decent guy being victimized.

After playing for a while, Nana loses interest when her progress with the romanceable characters still won't reach 100 percent. She returns to reality and goes back to living her best life.

...But why has her cursed technique spread into reality? And how can she activate it on purpose now?

When her familiar childhood friend Scotland is exposed and about to be shot, she yells, "No way!"

"...So, Nana, can you explain what you mean by a room you can't leave until you complete the task?" Her cat-eyed childhood friend tries to stay calm. "Does that mean we have to kiss for three days and three nights while a gunfight is raging outside, until the Organization decides I've vanished into thin air and defected?"

She nervously rubs her fingers together. "It's fine. Gin and I were also trapped in a room where we couldn't leave until one of us made the other cry, and he really did cry in front of me afterward."

Scotland: "..."

After the worlds merge.

"I've finally found you, Nana..." Several voices speak at once from somewhere behind her, filled with the burning intensity of someone who has long yearned for her.

Nana: Huh? I was just gathering material!

Tips:

OOC, many personal headcanons. All romanceable characters who appear are at least 18. Primarily Detective Conan and Jujutsu Kaisen. The Detective Conan world is reality, and the Jujutsu Kaisen world is a game. The worlds eventually merge, with the two series each making up half the story.

Pre-release: After Breaking Up with the R Demon Lord

01./Hayami Rena has a very unusual constitution:

Whenever she transmigrates into an anime, the world she's in merges with that anime.

This time, she wakes up in southern Italy in the twentieth century, with the cold muzzle of a gun pressed to her temple.

She lowers her eyes, only to find that the gentleman before her, with curled sideburns and distinctly southern Italian features, is staring at her in a daze. Then he pulls her into a scorching embrace so tight it hurts.

The good news: This handsome man mistakes her for the woman he holds dear, so in a world teeming with Mafia, at least she can be sure she'll stay alive.

The bad news: This handsome man seems to love the woman he holds dear a little too much, giving her the mistaken impression that she's loved.

Their breakup was actually quite amicable.

After she returns to Japan, she figures they'll probably never see each other again.

But then she finds her amnesiac ex-boyfriend on the streets of Beika Town, now looking like a middle schooler.

While he's staying with her, she gives him a name, teaches him Japanese, and sends him to school. They get along peacefully, like an ordinary brother and sister.

Until one day, the boy suddenly disappears.

02./Later, after the worlds merge, they meet again at a street intersection.

Their eyes meet. The light turns from green to red, yet neither of them moves.

The brown-haired boy pokes the curly-haired baby R Demon Lord beside him. "Do you two know each other?"

The R Demon Lord raises the hammer Leon has transformed into and swings it at him without mercy. "Idiot Tsuna, she's my ex-girlfriend."

Amid the brown-haired boy's shocked scream, they greet each other as if meeting for the first time:

"Ciao~"

"Ciao. It's nice to meet you."

Can we still be the kind of people who talk about embraces, death, and tears?

Yes.

Pre-release: After Reuniting with Tezuka

After the Black Organization is completely eradicated, Hidemi Hondo is invited to appear on the live-streamed variety show Back to School at 17.

Asked what regrets she has from her youth, she calmly replies, "I didn't have the courage to confess to the person I loved. By the time I did, it was already too late."

When she really does return to her alma mater, the high school division of Seigaku, she sees the mysterious guest everyone has been talking about standing at the entrance.

Hidemi Hondo freezes.

They merely exchange distant nods in greeting, as if they have never known each other.

Now, one of them is an international tennis superstar and a prodigy who has won the Career Grand Slam;

the other is a hugely popular newscaster back on television.

Nobody knows that, in the sweaty heat of summer back then, their elbows touched as their hearts skipped out of rhythm, and they each wrote the same words with conviction in the other's yearbook:

"Let's meet at the top."

/

As the show progresses, the number of fans shipping the two of them somehow climbs to number one.

[!! Hidemi and Tezuka used to be desk mates!]

[They definitely liked each other. If they didn't, I'd wash my hair while standing on my head.]

[Whoa, I found footage from the doubles match where Hidemi sneaks a look at Tezuka, and Tezuka watches her leave!]

Unfortunately, after the show ends, the two seem to return to their separate lives, with no further contact.

Until one day, the two-part livestream show Can I Come Home with You? interviews them both at the same time.

At Hidemi Hondo's home:

The moment her younger brother accidentally steps on the cloth covering something

Everyone sees a whole wall covered in Tezuka Kunimitsu merchandise.

Beyond several thick photo albums, there are also hundreds of portraits of him that she drew by hand.

At Tezuka Kunimitsu's home:

The host accidentally knocks a very thick yearbook off the bookshelf.

It falls open to a page bearing the words Hidemi Hondo wrote: "Let's meet at the top."

Beneath them are Tezuka Kunimitsu's words, written over many, many years:

"Hidemi, I've joined the pro circuit."

"I've reached number one in the world rankings."

"I've written a book for you."

"I've won the Career Grand Slam."

The last line reads:

"Hidemi, it's wonderful to see you again."

That night, their ship's hashtag reaches number one:

#TezukaHidemiMutualCrush#

Premise: My heart is not a stone, it cannot be turned. On the long journey of life, we must stay true to ourselves.
