[Preview of upcoming story] The Guide to Using Musical Secret Identities (blurb below the main blurb)

Main blurb:

A strange transmigration. Not only were her party's vanguard and her apprentice nowhere to be found, but she had also been turned into a palm-sized plush doll and picked up by an organization called the Armed Detective Agency.

What was going on?

Frieren sighed expressionlessly and turned her staff toward the demon's forehead in the distance.

In any case, she'd first kill all the demons who had somehow appeared here and seemed to have come back from the dead.

[Anti-Demon Magic...]

But wait, what was this stone tablet?

Having taken on the task of saving the world and become the new Colorless King, Frieren fell silent.

At the moment the plush doll broke apart, the Mirror Lotus on her ring shone brilliantly, and she heard a faint sigh.

"Frieren."

At the same time, the party's vanguard, Stark, sneezed.

Why had he ended up in a nest of cursed spirits from the start? Someone help me, Frieren!

Stark's hands trembled as he shakily picked up his axe.

[Heaven-Splitting Strike...]

One hit, one kill. Beneath the dazzling, magnificent white light, the earth split apart and debris flew everywhere. Not one cursed spirit survived.

Gojo-sensei, watching the fight: Well, that's something... (makes a very quick phone call) Add one more spot to the enrollment list.

Yaga Masamichi, principal of a certain Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College: ?

In a distant corner, Fern was picked up by the enthusiastic members of HOMRA. Though she had lost her memories, she too discovered the presence of demons.

"Don't believe the demons' sweet words. Their eloquent tongues have evolved only to beguile their prey into willingly offering up their flesh and blood."

The phantom of a green-haired priest stood before Fern.

"It's been a long time, Fern," said the drunken monk with a smile. But Fern knew this wasn't her Heiter, her adoptive father.

Fern took a deep breath. Her lost memories returned, and her resolve grew stronger. She raised her staff.

I should do just as Miss Frieren would. I'm an adult who can stand on my own now.

[Ordinary Attack Magic...]

A beam of magic almost swallowed half the street.

Totsuka Tatara, who had been keeping a close eye on things out of concern for Fern: (eyes trembling) That's just ordinary attack magic?

Please note:

1. OOC warning. Some details may be based on the author's own headcanon.

2. I'm an anime-only fan catching up on the manga. The story mainly follows the anime and covers Frieren, Bungo Stray Dogs, Jujutsu Kaisen, and K.

Progress:

Frieren - Bungo Stray Dogs (complete)

Stark - Jujutsu Kaisen (complete)

Fern - K (complete)

3. No character bashing or comparisons. Nope, every character gets their moment to shine.

4. The logic may fall apart. If you find a minor plot hole that isn't foreshadowing, it's simply because Cat-chan ran out of brainpower (yep).

The Guide to Using Musical Secret Identities

At the beginning of the world, there was a note, a movement, a suite. Gradually, many musical pieces converged into a torrent, and the world was born and grew.

The musical pieces cherished the living things they had created. But when it was time to compose the world's end and complete its cycle, a discordant note appeared. Unwilling to let living things die naturally, it deliberately broke apart its own melody and scattered it into notes of all sizes, crashing into and shattering the perfect suite. As a result, more and more discordant notes appeared, falling into fictional worlds and causing the deaths of countless living things.

To restore the disrupted order, the most basic musical note, a hollow whole note with no stem or flag, stepped forward. The musical pieces blessed it, so it could save the world in their forms.

The Dance of the Little Swans x Jujutsu Kaisen

"Hey, we're dance music. We don't have lyrics!" Four identical-looking girls in white dresses, like swans, looked at one another.

"But we can tell you the story of how we came to be!" the four said in unison. "The story of Swan Lake."

"Beautiful princess," they said, drawing close to Riko Amanai. The girl at the front took her hand. "Run away from the suffering brought upon you by the wicked sorcerer, and come with us."

"On a midsummer night, beneath the moonlight, let's elope together romantically!"

Ode to Joy x Demon Slayer

"Joy, thou goddess, fair and holy, with thy radiance bright, thou makest the earth rejoice."

"Children of the Demon Slayer Corps," the merciful goddess said, lowering her eyes. She looked so peaceful and kind. "I praise unity and friendship. I praise freedom and equality. O humanity, your courage! The joyful day I sing of has arrived."

And so the demons vanished beneath her radiance.

Requiem in D Minor x Frieren

"Lord, grant them eternal rest."

"The wicked and the demons will all face judgment." The devout nun stood quietly on the battlefield. Her skirt was stained with blood, yet her gaze was filled with compassion. "I am an unfinished musical suite by a genius, but I will never allow curses that toy with people's lives and deaths to exist."

She met the gaze of Tod, the Saint of the End.
