[Yoichi Toyama, male, 24 years old, 173cm tall, 62kg, graduated from Cambridge University, UK...]

The two sat side by side on the sofa. Taro pulled out something that looked like a cell phone from somewhere and started tapping and poking at it.

...To be precise, it was one of those handheld game consoles that were all the rage in the last century, the kind that played Tetris, with physical buttons on the bottom.

Otherwise, Yoruichi Toyama really wouldn't know how he could touch the screen with just a cat's paw.

"Wait a minute!" Yoruichi Toyama suddenly called out halfway through typing.

"Cambridge University? Inspector Megure must have misheard you. Don't write anything wrong!"

"I only graduated from a junior college. What if you write such a high level of education on my resume and it gets exposed one day?"

[Your host is strange too. Other girls all want to be the perfect female lead, with billions in wealth, a bunch of prestigious school backgrounds, and proficiency in everything from music and chess to calligraphy and painting...]

"You said yourself that they are young girls. I don't care if they want to be Mary Sue characters, but don't give me that excuse. Change it back, change it back!"

As she spoke, Yoruichi Toyama reached out to grab Taro's handheld console, but unexpectedly, her cat paw slapped the confirmation button.

It's too late, it's already been entered.

The black cat squinted, its expression clearly mischievous.

[You're really something else, you've already put it on, why don't you even fantasize about it...]

Besides, don't forget that your targets are all exceptional individuals—either top students or elite police academy students. Without a strong background, how can you even get close to them?

The last statement made some sense, and Yoruichi Toyama scratched her head, reluctantly acknowledging it.

[Next, special skills... Host, I'm asking you, what should you write as your special skills? Host, I'm asking you, what should you write as your special skills?]

The black cat raised its head and spoke imperiously.

"Sanda, free fighting, martial arts... just list all kinds of kung fu!"

Yoruichi Toyama, who had just tasted the benefits of her original skills, suddenly brightened up as she answered.

"By the way, you should be able to cheat, right?"

No. The system strictly combats cheating!

Taro stated unequivocally, with the professional ethics of a time-traveling elf.

Yoruichi Toyama looked at that serious cat face, filled with a burning urge to make sarcastic remarks.

Why does Conan have a bow tie voice changer, a turbocharged solar-powered skateboard, shoes that enhance leg strength, powerful stretch straps, and wireless tracking bulletproof glasses...?

They're not giving me anything. How am I, an ordinary person, supposed to complete the mission? Huh?

As if he hadn't heard his thoughts, the black cat continued speaking seriously.

[Alien visitors, prehistoric civilizations, combat mechs, magical transformations, human cannons... none of these are allowed!]

"Huh, are these the cheat codes you're talking about?" Yoruichi Toyama was a little stunned.

【What else can we do? We can't just let Clow Cards fly all over the Conan world, can we?】

Okay, I forgot this is an otome game...

"Wait! What did you just say? Human cannon? Do you guys also offer a service that lets you travel through time on the Dinosaur Express Koseidon?"

[Yes, it existed... but it's been shut down for a long time!]

Taro sighed wearily and looked down at his cat paws resting on the sofa.

These days, who wears tokusatsu (special effects) clothes?!

I told you, don't just think about the little girl!

Look here! Look here! A little boy! The kind who wants to woo Princess Altasia! ...Ahem!

Yoruichi Toyama coughed, pulling himself back from his completely erratic train of thought.

"Anyway, a cheat code that fits the Conan background... well, not a cheat code," he had to correct his wording under the cat's gaze, "a character design that fits the Conan background is acceptable, right?"

"Could you set my combat strength a bit higher? Like that guy... Makoto Kyogoku."

【Okay, no problem... Is there anything else?】

Taro's cat paws expertly pressed the handheld console, as if it were something he was used to.

"And... a shooting expert, a sharpshooter!"

Whether we can actually get our hands on a gun is another matter; what if we do?

[That's fine too... Why did you put all your points into violence? Didn't you put any points into music or art?]

"It's not like we're wearing a fantasy novel, what would we need those for?" Yoruichi Toyama simply rejected the suggestion.

"Hmm, hmm... all done. The last thing is zodiac sign, blood type, favorite color, food, and verbal tic... "

"..."

Yoruichi Toyama stared silently at the black cat intently typing information into the handheld console until the cat sensed something and looked up.

“I said, Kotaro-kun…” Yoruichi Toyama said sincerely, “I know this is an otome system, but since I’m playing as a substitute now, let’s just leave all that nonsense behind…”

"That's really awful, thank you!"

...

After exactly 24 hours in the Conan world, which is halfway through the newbie protection period, Yoruichi Toyama finally has time to deal with her personal life issues.

The newbie protection period will end in one more day. Before that, I need to collect the rent, rent a suitable apartment, and slowly survive.

It's no use trying to increase Conan's favorability, and the other four potential romance targets, even the earliest one to appear, Kaito Kid, won't be available until over 100 chapters of the manga.

What can we do if we don't compromise?

What good juice do you get when you're running around with the Grim Reaper?

Even if this Tokyo Grim Reaper isn't like the other one who specifically targets close friends and family...

Yoruichi Toyama shivered and quickly shook off those ominous thoughts.

"Amitabha Buddha, Infinite Heavenly Venerable, Hallelujah, great fortune, great fortune!"
