Chapter 1: Time Travel, but Mission Failed



"Toyama Yoruichi, 24 years old, address is..."

The sound suddenly stopped, and Inspector Megure glanced at the young man sitting opposite him with some surprise.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Um... I don't have a fixed address yet..."

Inspector Megure was even more surprised and scrutinized the other person carefully.

Wearing a beige casual sportswear outfit with a dark gray trench coat, it probably wasn't a designer brand, but the workmanship was exquisite and the cut was perfect, so the price couldn't be too low.

His short black hair was neatly styled, without any unusual dyeing, beard, or pierced ears, and there were no tattoos on any exposed parts of his body.

He should be a proper young man, and also somewhat handsome.

Surely such a person isn't a homeless person?

If Yoruichi Toyama knew what Inspector Megure was thinking at that moment, she would definitely tell him that being handsome is a given.

These days, how could someone who isn't handsome time travel?

...

Yoruichi Toyama's time travel is a bit absurd. One second she's at the entrance of the local police station, and the next she's at the Dorobiga amusement park, witnessing a decapitation murder outside the roller coaster.

At the same time, he also received his first system mission: to protect target number 001, Shinichi Kudo.

Even without the hint of Shinichi Kudo's name, just by looking at the scene before her, Yoruichi Toyama realized that she had been transported to the world of Detective Conan, and had been there since the very first episode.

Besides, those who got off that blood-stained roller coaster included Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri, a vibrant young couple, as well as a pair of unforgettable men in black trench coats.

A tall woman with long, flowing hair, which was also unusually silver.

A short, stocky man with a fleshy face, wearing sunglasses.

Gin, vodka.

These two names, or rather their code names, are just as familiar as Shinichi Kudo.

"Hey, system, is my mission to protect Shinichi Kudo from being drugged by Gin?"

"Is the task a bit too difficult for a beginner?"

Is there a reward for completing it?

"Or what will be the consequences if it is not completed?"

Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but ask herself a lot of questions in her mind, being a bit of a perfectionist.

His system allows for communication and dialogue within consciousness, as demonstrated by the previous task assignments.

It just emits that cheap electronic voice, which doesn't sound very intelligent.

[Beep—]

As usual, the system first issued a notification sound.

[System Task 001: Initiated. Priority: Highest.]

[Mission Objective: Protect the safety of your target, Shinichi Kudo.]

Isn't this the same as saying nothing at all?

"No, I mean... never mind, just tell me what will happen if I don't complete the mission."

[Mission failed; the host will be unable to return to the real world.]

Yoruichi Toyama held back the uncivilized word that was about to slip out.

...

That's how it is. Yoruichi Toyama didn't travel to this world voluntarily—yes, it's ridiculous that he traveled to this world in his true form without even changing his clothes, and the name he's given isn't even his own.

If you were to say that the system assigned him this persona, he would have nothing but this name.

There are no rewards for completing the task, and you can't go back if you fail to complete it.

How could a community police officer like him, who wasn't from an orphanage and had parents, brothers, and even extended family members, suddenly be transported to another world?

Is it really because he's handsome? ...

In short, none of that matters. What matters is that to protect Shinichi Kudo, we must prevent him from noticing Gin and the other two and then letting his curiosity kill the cat by following them.

On the other hand, it's best not to let Gin notice Shinichi Kudo.

If it were someone else, they would probably try to get close to Shinichi Kudo and then try to persuade him to give up following him.

Or they could steal the spotlight from the high school detective and, taking advantage of their spoiler-loving nature, solve the case in front of everyone.

Yoruichi Toyama did not choose either of them.

He went directly to Inspector Megure, who quickly arrived at the scene.

"Officer, are you really going to start the search right now? Wouldn't it be better to disperse the crowd first?"

Megure, the head of the Murder Investigation Division 3 of the First Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a familiar face to Conan viewers, was somewhat puzzled by the suggestion from this unfamiliar young man.

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

"My surname is Yuanshan..."

Yoruichi Toyama stumbled over the first sentence of her self-introduction.

The broken system didn't even give him a character profile, so how are we supposed to write this story so suddenly?

Inspector Megure didn't give him much time, because Shinichi Kudo spoke up at that moment.

"Mr. Inspector, I believe this incident..."

After all, he was a high school detective who had just been featured in the newspapers and was hailed as the "savior of the Japanese police." As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of most people.

In her haste, Yoruichi Toyama involuntarily raised her voice.

"Excuse me... student, are you going to discuss the case in public?"

"By what capacity are you interfering with police work?"

Yoruichi Toyama, who is also a police officer, could no longer bear to watch the chaotic situation unfold before her.

Putting aside the matter of protecting Shinichi Kudo, Inspector Megure, after arriving at the scene with his men, neither evacuated the crowd nor sealed off the area, and didn't even put up a cordon. He simply allowed countless tourists to get close to the roller coaster where someone had just died and was still covered in blood.

He went and chatted with Shinichi Kudo instead, is that alright?

According to the plot, when Shinichi Kudo publicly pointed out the culprit, this guy was even more relaxed. He had someone casually search the scene, find the so-called "evidence," and then took the suspect back.
