"Every member of the Organization with a codename marches to their own beat, but Kirsch is especially messed up!"

When Amuro was inexplicably kicked over to the logistics team, he suddenly remembered Vermouth saying that.

Kirsch, the cherry brandy who controls all the Organization's wealth from its dark corners, is someone even Gin would rather not provoke. What kind of person is he?

*

Tsukino Oriyo was the most famous designer on a magical continent. Countless wondrous outfits were born from his hands.

The day after he finished designing the work he was proudest of in his life and was showered with honors...

He woke up to find the sky had fallen!

Somehow, he'd become the head of logistics under Kirsch, a codename in a transnational crime syndicate in another world.

Tsukino Oriyo: ...

He wanted to quit, but a mage's instincts kept screaming that the secret to returning home was buried in the Organization's deepest reaches.

To find an opportunity, Tsukino Oriyo worked diligently.

But who could have guessed what a colossal mess this lousy logistics team was?

Every member was useless, so he was the only one who could handle anything that came up.

Just when he finally found a few useful people, Gin killed them like mice.

Tsukino Oriyo: Gin, what is wrong with you?!

Enough was enough.

He launched straight into poaching quality subordinates from other teams.

This time, as long as they were useful, he'd protect them even if they were rats!

But he never expected to find an unexpected delight among his subordinates:

The sweet little blond healed everything.

Tsukino Oriyo found that the inspiration he'd lost after transmigrating suddenly surged like a spring in the middle of springtime.

At last, he had found his muse in another world.

*

Amuro's assessment:

My new boss may be sharp-tongued, mean, and a total nutcase, but he responds to kindness, not force, and is surprisingly easy to placate.

It's a little hard to deal with him making me change outfits every day, but the outfits' skills are pretty good, so I can put up with it.

And so, within the Organization, we can see:

Detective Zero!

Shrunken Zero!

Invisible Zero!

Flying Zero!

And Zero, who is deeply loved!

Content warnings:

1. Lots of original headcanons. Characters may be out of character.

2. A mostly slice-of-life story. The author has limited intelligence and can't write overly spectacular confrontations.

3. I only love Zero. I'm fairly kind to the other characters, too, but Zero always comes first.

Synopsis posted: 2025/1/2

Coming soon: "A Guide to Unlocking Every Detective Conan Achievement"

Tokyo real estate tycoon, rent-income lounger, former post-apocalyptic power user, and current low-key veteran shut-in Yuzu Ki Aono has run into a little problem lately...

"No 8,888!"

"No 888!"

"And no 88!"

"For just 0 yuan, the world's strongest, most versatile, top-of-the-line achievement-unlocking System can be yours for free!"

"Are you tempted?!"

Yuzu Ki Aono's heart was hard as iron. "Not tempted."

The System's heart shattered into pieces. Its first day on the job was a total disaster. How could its very first Host be this difficult?

But brave little System would never give up!

"With me, you can..."

"Learn the hidden truths of the world!"

"Win the admiration of countless people!"

"Receive mysterious prizes from beyond this plane of existence!"

"You..."

Yuzu Ki Aono: "Why don't you go wash your brain first?"

The System wept in the wind.

"If none of that appeals to you... *sob*... sweetheart, every achievement you unlock will return the value of one property to normal. Are you really not interested?"

With murder cases happening frequently and the value of most of his properties plummeting after they became murder houses, Yuzu Ki Aono raised an eyebrow. "Oh? That's interesting. Keep going."

The System: ...I'm here to give out rewards, not put on a show!

But life was hard for a System, so it wiped away its little tears and humbly put on a performance. "Of course, sweetheart."

And so a landlord officially began his rent-income-stabilizing life:

He exposed a young director's secret identity right as the director was gloating.

Conan: How did you know?!

On Valentine's Day, he hid a single ash-colored hair in a certain vintage Porsche.

Gin: Heh, Sherry!

When a man with narrow eyes was plotting with someone, he handed him the unpaid bill from his last rental.

Akai Shuichi, guiltily looking away: ...Maybe you've got the wrong person.

And finally, he praised the FBI as more capable right in front of the Neon Police.

Yuzu Ki Aono: ...

A pair of honey-colored arms wrapped around his waist, and a low, dangerous voice sounded beside his ear. "What did you say?"

With his survival instincts kicking in, Yuzu Ki Aono hugged his golden-haired lover. "No, Zero is the most capable."

Notes:

1. The ones whose stories ended sadly will return in another way. (I'm a sucker for this stuff.)

2. The protagonist's power is metal-based and won't break the balance of combat strength.

3. Zero pairing, protagonist is the top.

Theme: Justice will prevail over evil
