'WHY IS IT SO HOT!!'

Kogoro Mouri wanted to shout at the top of his lungs. If anyone saw him, they would understand. After all, it was in the middle of winter, and the temperature in the country just hit a new low today. Even worse, it was in the middle of the night!

Yet the detective was definitely feeling like he was being cooked, and that's because he was stuck inside a ventilation system. The fact that he was wrapped head to toe in a Pan-san costume certainly didn't help either.

Of course, if the reason for his predicament wasn't leisurely drinking cold beverages below, he wouldn't feel so miserable.

Inside the room were a pair of beautiful women that he knew very well. One was a beautiful, yet modest lily, while the other was a thorny rose. That's right, they were Yukiko Kudou and Sharon Vineyard a.k.a Vermouth!

Still, Kogoro was a gentleman of noble nature! Just a great beauty or two wouldn't move him to the point of groveling inside a vent. What forced him to spy on them was the content of their conversation:

"So, in this drama, your son will be the result of your affair, instead of one with your husband?"

"Yup! And then he would be going on with his life, not knowing that his father is the father of his crush! Then, when he found out, he would feel a complex feeling of loving his own half-sister!"

Yukiko beamed at Sharon, her smile overflowing with confidence. Clearly, she didn't consider the plot that she just spouted outlandish at all!

Sharon's face did not show any of the confusion she was feeling.

Yukiko, ever the actress, picked up on her friend's confusion, and handed her the notebook boldly titled as Detective Conan.

Unknowingly, both Kogoro and Sharon shared the same thought:

'What the fuck!?'

Ignoring her dread, Sharon flipped open the notebook, and immediately regretted her decision.

On the first page, a description of the character in the novel was listed down.

Main Characters:

Kogoro Mouri - Super handsome! Super strong! Super long!- Cough… I mean, a struggling detective in his late thirties. His soul was replaced by a man from another earth from the moment he was born, but his memory from that life was locked until the start of the story! With the newly awakened memories, he would solve all the mysteries and crimes coming his way! Provided, of course, that he wasn't distracted by a pair of nice boobas (like mine!). He loved his estranged wife Eri Kisaki, and his daughter Ran Mouri the most.

And me.

And a gender-bent Seiji Asoh.

And Kobayashi-sensei.

And Sato-keiji.

…

And Sharon.

…

And -insert a hundred other female names-.

Eri Kisaki - My bestie! My bigger-boobas-but-less-beautiful-bestie! Cough… I mean, the estranged wife of Kogoro Mouri, and the mother of Ran Mouri. She was a successful lawyer, whose win-rate was 100%. (Hacks!) She had some deductive capabilities, and was also a sucker for the detective type, just like me! But, because Kogoro loved me the most, he left her for me! (Just kidding, Eri!)

Ran Mouri - The sole daughter of Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki. A capable karate practitioner, she could fold a grown man with a kick as quick as one could count, well, one! The childhood sweetheart of my Shin-chan! (Although, I personally like Ai-chan more! Sorry, Ran-chan!)

***

Side Characters:

Conan Edogawa - A child trapped inside the body of a child, who can't actually act like a child! His true identity was Shin-chan, a.k.a Shinichi Kudou. He was a cocky high-school detective who was turned into a child by an underground crime organization called... Black Organization! He was also the childhood sweetheart of Ran Mouri. (He never called his mom! What a disrespectful child!)

Ai Haibara - The new transfer student in Conan's class. Her real identity was Shiho Miyano, code name: Sherry, a former member of the Black Organization! Like Conan, she turned into a child when she took the APTX 4869. She ran away from the Black Organization, and is currently staying in Prof. Agasa's house. (I just hope she won't turn Kogoro into l*****n!)

Prof. Agasa - A maniac professor, and a neighbor of Shinichi Kudou. His gadgets helped Conan continue his detective career. (Now, if he can tone down the noises, I'd be able to sleep in my house!)

…

…

…

Getting frustrated the more she read, Sharon finally arrived at the end of the section. Just as she was about to breath out of relief, she read the next page, and her eyebrows were twitching like crazy!

Case 1 - The Murder of The Illustrious Illustrator

Hinata Hanaoka - The first client of the current Kogoro Mouri. The lonely wife of a famous illustrator Kenjin Hanaoka. She was a member of the fallen aristocrat family Yamashina. (Poor woman! She should've hooked up with Goro-kun instead!)

Kenjin Hanaoka - The accused husband of Hinata Hanaoka. An illustrator widely known for his ethereal art-style. He hit a rough patch, but came back a year later with a slightly different style. (Poor man! But he should've let Goro-kun comfort his woman, like Yusaku did with me!)

Izumi Chouno - The student of Kenjin Hanaoka, and the secret illustrator behind his resurgence. In exchange for submitting works under his name, she had Kenjin betray his wife and become her lover. (I wonder what would happen if she met Goro-kun instead of the useless painter…)

Sharon couldn't read it anymore, so she closed the notebook, and exhaled a long breath full of suffering.

"Yukiko…"

Meanwhile, the only happy person in the room was still sporting a goofy smile on her face, completely clueless on her friend's scrunched up face or the fleeing man above the room.

"What do you think? It's super good, isn't it? I know I have writing talent! Just you wait, Yusaku Kudou! I'm going to show you who's the boss! And when he finds out that my novel beat his, I'm going to make him apologize for all the times he stood me up on a date! Ohohohoho!"

Her laughter still rang in his ears even when he got out of the vent.

In the alley beside the building, Kogoro got himself out of the costume, his body drenched in sweat. He looked around, then started running back home when he noticed no one was around.

"What the hell was tha-"

Bang!

The sound of a door forcefully opened woke him up. Kogoro looked around him. He was still in his pajamas, and the clock was showing the time: 10 AM.

"... Thank god it was just a dream."

Kogoro failed to notice a silhouette outside his bedroom. It was Ran; and she was blushing, before she licked her lips, a white liquid spilled from the corner of her mouth…
