The Nakanohara Family's Cat Food

[Completed Work: "Come Back to Life! My Beloved!"] [Updating Alongside: "The Beika Town Farming Chronicles"]

This is a revised edition starting from Chapter 25. If you've already read those chapters, please don't buy them again!

Blurb:

In the distant Beika Town, a mother and son rely on each other for survival.

From time to time, little animal visitors appear in their backyard.

For those visitors, this place is a haven to rest, a free dining hall, and a snail shell in which to hide from reality.

For Eri and Chuuya, they're just spending time with the cats in their yard every day. But for some people, this is a chance to change their lives forever.

That bitter summer wasn't so bitter anymore. The regret of being abandoned by a partner was gone. And the days spent losing all their money at pinball machines no longer ended in hunger.

The things that seemed impossible to reconcile all found answers with everyone's comfort and support.

Chuuya: "Mom, am I really not the one in the spotlight on the postcards the kitties send home?"

Eri: "I'm not sure either, but Chuuya, you're the one in the spotlight for me."

The main world is Detective Conan + Don't Say a Word; the other worlds exist independently.

PS: This is a romance. The characters listed in the tags are platonic, and even if any couples develop, it won't happen in the main story.

[Updating Alongside: The Beika Town Farming Chronicles]

Suzuki Kiko is a farming-game player who loves Stardew Valley.

The reason is that she never talks to the townsfolk. Whenever she goes into town, aside from buying or selling things, she's basically there to rummage through trash cans.

When she saw that Stardew Valley was collaborating with Detective Conan, she placed her order without a second thought.

Then, in the newest game, she stuck to her usual routine.

And so, a strange person who rummaged through trash cans everywhere appeared in Beika Town.

This person showed up at all sorts of crime scenes, becoming both a witness and a suspect.

You could even spot her rummaging through trash cans around the Black Organization's headquarters.

Suzuki Kiko headed home with the information she'd found in a trash can, and ran into a resident as she passed Café Poirot.

After accidentally triggering an interaction, she discovered that the gift she'd thought was nothing but scrap paper had earned her half a heart of affection with this resident.

Suzuki Kiko, who had no experience interacting with residents: This resident likes trash? What a unique personality!

A certain Amuro, who was only trying to stop the player from rummaging through trash cans: What's this information? Why would she give it to me?
