The Great Detective Wants Me to Confess

At nineteen, after spending three years transmigrated into Yokohama Monogatari with an all-purpose modifier, Bai Qing had finally grown completely sick of this world, where nothing offered even the slightest challenge.

He went to the riverbank, looking for a nice place to end this boring game.

But just before Bai Qing took his final step, a boy grabbed him and made him a promise:

"If you think there's nothing left in this world that you don't understand, no one left you can't see through, then come and get to know me!"

"If one day you see through me and can guess every word I'm about to say just as if I were an NPC, then whatever you want to do, I won't stop you!"

Bai Qing readily agreed and began methodically learning everything about this young NPC.

Seven years later, the two got married.

Bai Qing: ...Huh?

-

At sixteen, the great detective Ranpo-sama noticed an incredible being had arrived in Yokohama.

Though it had the appearance of a human, it was definitely not human. Its ability was terrifyingly powerful, allowing it to distort reality and people's minds with ease.

It placed the rules of a game above the rules of reality, treating the entire world as a game and all humans as NPCs, while seeing itself as the game's only player. Its danger was obvious!

Yet for some unknown reason, such a powerful humanoid creature had fenced itself in, trapping itself in a tiny corner of Yokohama, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

According to the great detective's theory, a creature like that would easily destroy itself, and when it did, the world would be rid of a world-ending threat. Good news!

But for some reason, at the very moment the other really was about to destroy himself, the great detective was inexplicably moved to stop him and make a promise.

Seven years later...

The great detective: "If you can't accept the real world, your real self, or your real past, if you can only breathe when you're inside a 'game,' that's all right. Stay immersed in your beautiful dream forever. The great detective will protect the real you!

"Whether it's reality or illusion, or all the things you've forgotten yourself, I'll protect every bit of it! So..."

So when are you going to confess already?!

The great detective is getting so impatient he's about to get angry!!
