Chapter 8 — Ran Shocked: I've Been a High School Student for Thirty Years and Still Haven't Graduated?!
In the Land of Sakura, Chun-Li was in the middle of her martial arts training when she suddenly felt an uncontrollable surge of excitement.
Her kicks became too powerful, too rapid—
With a single burst of Hyakuretsukyaku, she sent her training partner flying across the room, crashing into the ground and coughing blood.
Chun-Li winced in guilt.
"Ah—sorry, sorry! I got too excited and forgot to control my strength."
"I'm really sorry, but I have something extremely important to take care of right now. When I get back, I'll apologize properly!"
And with that, she dashed out, heading straight to the police headquarters. The moment she arrived, she faced her superior and declared:
"Reporting in! I need to go to the Land of K."
"I'll probably be gone for quite some time."
"I'm requesting a leave of absence, Commander."
"But I'll make this clear—from this moment on, whether you approve it or not… I'm going."
"And even if I'm fired over this, I'm still going!"
She had joined Interpol for one goal only: to gather evidence against Vega, the man who killed her father.
But now—
There was a chance she might be able to bring her father back to life.
Everything else had to come second.
Vega could wait. Revenge could wait.
Right now, her priority was to chase even the smallest possibility of resurrection.
Her superior stared at her, utterly speechless.
This isn't a leave of absence… this is a declaration!
He couldn't help but wonder—
Who exactly is the superior here? Him or Chun-Li?
The entire chain of command felt upside down.
In short, at this moment, countless anime goddesses from different worlds were shaken, stirred, and burning with determination.
Each for their own reasons, all of them began making preparations.
All of them were heading to the Land of K, searching for Hayashi Rin.
Meanwhile, the Diary continued updating.

[All right, I've already talked about the reward I received. Now it's time to write today's diary entry.]
[By now, writing diary entries isn't new to me. I've read tons of novels—diaries are pretty much the same thing every time… just "spoilers," right?]
[So let's talk a bit about the future events you heroines will experience.]
[Right now, I'm in the Land of K. I bet many of you think I'm going to spoil the story for the anime worlds located here, right?]
[Ran, I'm sure that's exactly what you're thinking.]
[You're definitely waiting for me to tell you where Kudō Shinichi is, right?]
[…But I'm not telling you.]
[Here's a simple question—are you mad? You mad?]
At that moment, Suzuki Sonoko and Toyama Kazuha were clinging to Ran from both sides.
"Ran, breathe! Calm down!"
They stared at the table in front of them—well, what used to be a table, now reduced to splinters.
"Ran, please calm down. You can't break the Diary, but you can break the house!"
"Let me go! That guy is infuriating! If I find him—"
"I'll show him exactly how terrifying my 360-degree spinning kick truly is!"
Sonoko and Kazuha silently mourned Hayashi Rin's future.
In their hearts, they both thought the same thing:
"If Ran finds him… that might be the day he dies."
The two even held a three-second moment of silence for this poor unfortunate man.
"Seriously, what is wrong with him? Why provoke Ran of all people? Isn't he afraid of getting kicked into another dimension?"
But on second thought—
…Yes. He deserved it.
Anyone who poked at Ran this directly was clearly asking for it.
After finally calming Ran down, they turned their attention back to the Diary.

[Hehe, Ran, I was just teasing you earlier.]
[The reason I'm not spoiling Detective Conan's plot is simple—because there's nothing to spoil.]
[Before I transmigrated into this world, the anime had been airing for thirty years, with over a thousand episodes, and you, Ran, were still a high school student. Conan still hadn't grown up. Time wasn't moving.]
[A thousand episodes, and the main story barely advanced. Every day is just murder cases, investigations, and solving mysteries.]
[In my original world, people called it a 'Lifetime Series'—meaning even in one's entire lifetime, we might never see the ending. We might never see Shinichi return to normal.]
[As long as the anime keeps making money, the capitalists will never allow it to end.]
[And the battle between Kudo Shinichi and the Black Organization is the core of the story.]
[If Shinichi actually defeats the Black Organization, the anime must end.]
[That's why it's called a Lifetime Series.]
[Thirty years have passed, and Ran—you still haven't graduated high school. Can you believe that?]
[More than a thousand cases! Even if Mōri Kogorō solves one case per day, that's three entire years!]
[Yet neither you nor Sonoko have graduated.]
[Meanwhile, Conan and Ayumi are still elementary schoolers.]
[Haha, anime really doesn't follow logic.]
— — —
Ran, Sonoko, and the others froze on the spot.
"What? Thirty years and we still haven't graduated?!"
"Are our grades that terrible?"
"Conan and Ayumi are still elementary school kids… They haven't grown at all!"
"This makes no sense!"
"Does this guy even know what he's saying? If that's true… doesn't that mean we already have some kind of immortality?"
Nezuko murmured, "Thirty years… not aging… Are they demons too?"
Tsunade stroked her chin.
"Incredible. Thirty years without aging? Have they all mastered the Byakugō Seal?"
Rangiku mused,
"Thirty years without any physical change… Are people from the Land of K similar to those in the Soul Society?"
"After all, we can live for hundreds, even thousands of years."
Vermouth muttered in disbelief:
"My chest suddenly feels tight… So I was already immortal all along? Then why did I spend years researching the immortality drug?"
"…Or maybe only the main characters get this treatment?"
In short—
All the heroines were left dumbfounded.
Everything felt absurd.
Everything felt unreal.
But curiosity kept their eyes on the Diary.
— — —
[Still, now that I'm in this world, I expect at least a bit of logic. Detective Conan's world shouldn't truly be frozen in time.]
[I think many cases will change or disappear.]
[Most of the cases not related to the main story will probably vanish—maybe eighty or ninety percent of them. Even I'm not entirely sure.]
[But I must say… the world of Detective Conan is truly baffling.]
[If you say the criminals are stupid, they have unbelievably creative murder methods.]
[But if you say they're smart… they're all completely insane.]
