I Became a Police Officer Entirely of My Own Free Will

[Third-person narration]

[Another fairy tale for adults (?)]

[Short Blurb]

On his hundredth day as a deputy chief inspector in the First Investigative Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Arisu Shuto decided to switch careers and become an HR business partner for the department.

Once he'd hired some poor sucker to take over his job, he quit on the spot.

Someone in this world has to face off against:

Bounty hunter Shinichi-kun, truth-twisting Ran-nee-san, financial crime mastermind Sonoko-nee, dark emperor Gourd Duck, mind-taming Kenji-chan, and mecha war god Four-Eyes Seishin...

But Arisu Shuto thought that someone could be anyone but him, stuck playing the losing side.

On his two-hundredth day as a deputy chief inspector in the First Investigative Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Arisu Shuto decided to have Jin Kurosawa take the fall and rule over the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in his place.

Spitting blood, he sent a group text to everyone:

Within ten minutes, forward this message to ten people. If you fail, the Metropolitan Police Department will make today Arisu Shuto's death anniversary, and assign you a new boss as well!

I tried it, and it's real. You should give it a go too~

I transmigrated.

I'm a male protagonist from a power-progression novel, Arishi Quede. Before I transmigrated, I'd just left the starter village and got run over by a truck. That's totally normal.

So I transmigrated. What I never expected was to be reborn as a native of the Detective Conan world!

Just when I thought I'd be following the script, surrounded by female characters on one side and male characters on the other, living out a light-novel fantasy, I discovered that my starter skill had come with me into my new life!

Mom and Dad in heaven, a protagonist from a web novel having dead parents is perfectly reasonable, right? Now I'm even more certain I can bring glory to the family!

I transmigrated, and let me stress this again: I was reborn as a native of an un-Detective-Conan-like Detective Conan world:

Arisu (Arisu) Shuto (Chotto),

Occupation: police officer;

Special skill from the starter village: 100% pickpocketing.

What a wonderfully inspired starting setup!

...And that wasn't the only unexpected thing. As I struggled to balance work and my starter skill, I gradually realized:

This world was no ordinary place.

Here, Shinichi was an upgraded version of a detective who takes money to solve cases: a bounty hunter who takes money to create cases.

Ms. Ran was a con artist. Ms. Sonoko was a future candidate for the maximum sentence for financial crimes.

Akai was a bard who traveled around playing the accordion and selling things that could set off a storm of bloodshed.

And don't even get me started on Furuya... Compared with them, even Gin's profession made him seem like a refined gentleman.

He was a theoretical physicist.

As for what he was researching, I don't want to talk about it. Everyone knows that physicists are in a wonderful state of mind.

Is this really Conan? Fanfic writers, did you slap a different skin on it again?

Heh. A reversal, huh? A surprise, huh? I'm alive and kicking, and I've lived twice, so I deserve to make a real mess of things!

Open up, police! Your disaster has arrived from another world!

* The main story should be in third person.

* I can't help myself; there'll be all sorts of shipping.

* I can't help myself; there'll be rescue-and-redemption arcs. Correction after starting the story: Because it's me, everyone lived.

* Just as no one would name a child 'I See' or 'Alibi,' no one would name a child Arishi Quede. So Shuto's name is pronounced according to old Japanese naming conventions: I say it's pronounced this way, so that's how you pronounce it! I forcibly stuck ちょっと and 'shameless' onto the name... (bows)
