Convenience Store Manager: Ran entered at the Start

Chapter 1: "CLOVER: The Mystery Store"



-----

-----

"5th block, 9th number, Beika Town..."

A 20-year-old young man with short hair was walking down the streets of Beika Town, his eyes

constantly scanning the store numbers above the shops on either side of the street.

His name was Akira!

Half an hour ago, he had been transported into the world of Detective Conan.

At the same time he arrived in this unfamiliar world, a pleasant, crisp mechanical voice suddenly

echoed in his mind.

He had awakened a convenience store system!

And at that very moment...

The system gifted him a convenience store, with the address exactly as [5th block, 9th number,

Beika Town].

"Here we are!"

Akira arrived at his destination, following the address the system had provided.

Looking up...

It was a convenience store named "CLOVER," with a four-leaf clover symbol beside the name.

"Yep... no doubt about it."

"This must be the first reward the system gave me."

The door to CLOVER was firmly shut, and through the windows, there were no lights visible inside.

This stood out compared to the brightly lit street, indicating that the store was currently

unoccupied.

Akira walked up to the door, took out the key the system had given him.

He gently inserted and turned the key...

And with a click, the door opened.

As he lifted the roller shutter and flicked the switch for the lights, the interior layout of the

convenience store revealed itself.

Fridges, shelves, the cash register...

Aside from that, it seemed like there was nothing else inside.

Hmm...

It was a brand-new convenience store, so new that no products had been stocked yet.

Wait... hold on!

Akira noticed something even more important on the wall behind the cash register.

There was a staff roster hanging on the wall.

The owner and store manager of CLOVER was none other than Akira himself. Below his name

were two night shift cashiers: Fuyutsuki Shiori and Nakaizumi Yui!

The moment he saw these two names,Akira felt a strange sense of familiarity.

As soon as he saw their employee photos, memories he had long forgotten suddenly struck his

brain, hitting him like a sudden wave.

"Ah—!"

He had a feeling that the name "CLOVER" was somewhat familiar.

It was the very convenience store from the anime JK and the Convenience Store Manager, and

Fuyutsuki Shiori and Nakaizumi Yui were the two main female characters of that anime.

But now, in this version, the store manager position had been successfully replaced by him, Akira.

Was this... the Detective Conan world?

Akira was certain he had crossed over into the world of Detective Conan, especially after

spotting the Mouri Detective Agency on his way here.

However...

This Detective Conan world seemed to have some strange new additions.

"Tsk, tsk..."

Akira chuckled as he looked at the photos of Fuyutsuki Shiori and Nakaizumi Yui on the staff

roster.

"Man, I'm really cashing in big here!"

Snapping back to his senses...

Akira looked at the CLOVER convenience store in front of him and realized he had to do

something now.

He opened the convenience store system's operation panel...

It was like a game's control interface!

In the top right corner of the system panel was the balance of ¥10,000,000, provided by the system,

while the bottom right had buttons for buying products, stocking items, and other operations.

The most noticeable feature was the LV1 level displayed just below his avatar in the top left corner.

Although he hadn't yet experienced the joy of leveling up, Akira was confident that when the

time came, he'd receive the system's most generous rewards.

[Open Product List!]

Akira subconsciously tapped the button at the bottom right of the panel.

Coca-Cola

American Crispy Fries

Cantaloupe Ice Cream

Pomegranate Fresh Juice

Super Strong Sunscreen

The product list displayed over a hundred items, ranging from food to daily necessities.

Without hesitation, Akira hit the button to purchase and stock everything in one go.

In an instant...

The empty shelves were filled with products, and the cost was reflected as the system's balance

dropped from ¥10,000,000 to ¥5,000,000.

Akira scanned the store...

Now CLOVER looked just like a convenience store should.

"Done!"

From this moment on, CLOVER convenience store was officially open for business.

"Yuanzi."

"Listen to me."

"I just encountered a murder case at Park."

"It was terrifying!"

"That man's head was practically severed."

"Shinichi Kudo?"

"This guy said he had something to do and left first."

"..."

The mention of Shinichi Kudo made Mori Ran explode with rage.

That guy was more excited about seeing a corpse than he was about seeing his own father, and just

earlier, he had dashed out of Park for who knows what reason, likely drawn by some

unbearable scent of death.

"Alright."

"I'll stop talking about it."

As soon as Ran hung up the phone, her attention was caught by the convenience store in

front of her.

"CLOVER?"

What an interesting name!

What was even more surprising was that, even though she walked up and down this street every

day, this was the first time she had noticed this convenience store.
