Detective Conan: A Minus 99 Bond from the Start

[Ding! Bond System binding in progress…]

[Bound target: Shiho Miyano (Sherry)]

[Initial bond: ‘Despairing Prison’]

[Current bond value: -99 (Extremely dangerous! Relationship at absolute zero! Please watch your personal safety!)]

Xiaolin Ming: “???”

Wait, what?! How did my bond value drop so far below zero?! And ‘Despairing Prison’ sounds incredibly ominous! Didn’t you say the bond value was supposed to be the highest? You damn thing, you calculated the absolute value, didn’t you!

On one side are Gin’s icy orders and Sherry’s despairing barrier at -99. On the other are Conan’s sharp gaze and his steadily growing suspicion…

Xiaolin Ming just wants to throw his head back and howl: “I only wanted to stay alive! Why did I get a double-route hell difficulty from the start? I can’t raise this negative affection, and I can’t lower my suspicion value! System, think of something, quick!”

This is a (not at all) lighthearted daily-life story about desperately trying to survive between the Black Organization and the Grim Reaper Elementary Schooler, while also working to melt the heart of a girl frozen within…

[Cool and aloof (pretend) Organization member] x [Frozen (for real) genius girl] x [Grim Reaper (for real) elementary schooler]

[Teetering back and forth on the line between red and black] [Goal: Turn negative affection into positive affection!]
