First of all, why isn't my name Kenichi?
Second, how is a second older brother even remotely related to "oniisan," that exclusive term that makes your heart flutter the moment you hear it? Not even half a... sorry, not even half a yen! Have you never seen the countless tear-stained stories of second-born siblings being exploited by their families throughout history?!
Finally, even if I may not be qualified to say this as someone who transmigrated into another person's life and claimed their relationships as my own, you damn old man Gosho, give me back my two lively little brothers!!!
A lot of people think the eldest son of the Hagiwara family is hard to approach. He's withdrawn, keeps to himself, and is even rumored to be gay.
That last rumor came from the year some girl confessed to him, and he had such abysmal social skills that he transferred schools overnight and avoided her from then on.
So when Hagiwara Chihaya saw her second younger brother walk into the police station with a bright smile, as if basking in a spring breeze, and take a boy named Edogawa Conan home, there was only one thought in her mind:
What do I do if my little brother seems to have become another version of our other little brother? Asking online, urgent.
Hagiwara Haruhito: Great, just like this. Let Kudo Shinichi and the manga readers think I'm an obsessive, psychologically disturbed brother-complex nut who imprisoned Kenji and Matsuda and faked their deaths. Make it look true, but don't make it true. All those hundreds of Police Academy fix-it fics I've read won't have gone to waste!
System: Yes, that's right. They'll successfully come back to life in a few days, but, Host...
Hagiwara Haruhito: ?
System: You can put the forum aside for now, but how are you going to clear your name with the good guys?
Hagiwara Haruhito: !
Help help help help help help!
Little brothers, come save me QAQ!
* No CP, with a System and a forum. Everything above was delayed because the author got writer's block. HE guaranteed.
* The author doesn't know how this story suddenly appeared out of nowhere between two other projects that already had outlines. Maybe I just really wanted to write a sarcastic protagonist.
* Essentially a lighthearted, rambling story. Don't expect it to make logical sense.
* I'll start posting when I've written fifty chapters. Reborn: This Time I'll Update Daily (posting the entire completed manuscript at once also counts as daily updates!)
One thing needs to be made clear: This is a fix-it story, but no one will achieve their goal by changing careers or avoiding the things they need to do. Also, given the forum, Conan episode-watching, and sarcastic protagonist, this story is bound to be full of various fanfic misunderstandings about different CPs. The actual CP relationships will only be the ones Gosho canonically confirmed.
That's the final word on August 9, 2025. I'm distancing myself in advance from M29, which I don't even know what to say about.
-- What do you do when you transmigrate as Hagiwara's older brother?
-- First, explain to Chihaya that asking this question really doesn't mean I think of her as my little sister. I swear.
Finally, answer ■■■: "I love you all too."
