Name: Daichi Tenmei Gender: Male Birthday/Zodiac: October 7th (Libra) Birthplace: Tokyo Height: 175cm Age: 18 Blood Type: A Hobbies: Cycling Strengths: Gritty hard work Favorite Food: Curry rice Favorite Words: Friendship, Effort, Victory Favorite Thing: Dodgeball Dislikes/Weaknesses: Broken promises Favorite Book: "The Purloined Letter" Ability: Investigation. A genius of investigation. He conducts polite and courteous interviews, crawls across floors to gather evidence, and fills notebooks with fountain pen memos. Faithful to the basics, he remains utterly serious and down-to-earth, chasing cases for the sake of clients and victims. He believes every case leaves a trace, and as long as there is a culprit, walking the path to the end will always lead to the truth. Other: The Great Detective of Ugly Duck. A genius of "Investigation." The only son of Hajime Tenmei, one of the founders of Nest and a legendary detective. He has admired his father since childhood and aimed to become a Nest detective. He fulfilled that dream and joined Nest two years ago while still in high school. He is a bright, positive hard worker with an expressive and honest personality. Friendly and sociable, he has many friends and a wide network. His athletic ability, stamina, knowledge, and speaking skills are all above average, but he has no single standout talent. If anything, his refusal to give up is superhuman. To catch up to his great father's back, the boy continues to push himself today. Daichi's view of Tatehito Kiri: High school classmate. They often hung out together with Jin Shiba. On the day Daichi and Jin had their falling out, Tatehito was hospitalized. Therefore, Tatehito still doesn't know what happened on "that rainy day" or the reason behind it. Daichi hasn't tried to tell him, and Tatehito hasn't tried to ask. He calls Tatehito by his first name without honorifics. Daichi's view of Midori Toh: Daichi actually knows very little about Midori's work as his father's Recorder. However, he knows Midori holds deep respect and gratitude for Hajime Tenmei. Thus, Daichi believes Midori volunteered to be his Recorder to repay his father. In reality, Midori volunteered because he was captivated by Daichi as an individual, and Hajime had nothing to do with it. Midori intentionally leaves this misunderstanding unresolved. He calls Midori "Toh-san."

Name: Tatehito Kiri Gender: Male Birthday/Zodiac: May 25th (Gemini) Birthplace: Fukuoka Height: 174cm Age: 18 Blood Type: O Hobbies: Flirting Strengths: Handicrafts Favorite Food: Omurice Favorite Words: Tomorrow is another day Favorite Thing: The sound of rain Dislikes/Weaknesses: Jin Shiba Other: A Recorder for Ugly Duck. A high school classmate of Daichi Tenmei and Jin Shiba. An inveterate womanizer, but he has a rule against hitting on people with partners or students, so his success rate isn't high. He has a surprisingly serious and moral side, loathing bullying and discrimination to the point of nausea. He sustained deep scars on his back due to an incident he was involved in as a child. He refuses surgery to remove them, saying, "It's not a shameful scar I need to hide." Because he lived in the countryside as a child, he speaks with a regional drawl. He isn't as shallow as he looks or as carefree as he sounds—a problem child in many senses. Tatehito's view of Daichi Tenmei: Calls Daichi "Tenmei." Tatehito's view of Midori Toh: They first met a week before the Nest exam. Despite Daichi's worries that they wouldn't get along, they hit it off instantly. In fact, even though their hobbies don't match at all, they have strange chemistry. This is based on a shared underlying belief that "if they acknowledge Daichi, they can't be a bad person." Even toward the older Midori, Tatehito is overly familiar in speech and attitude. Midori seems to find this surprisingly comfortable and laughs it off. He calls Midori "Toh."

Name: Midori Toh Gender: Male Birthday/Zodiac: September 10th (Virgo) Birthplace: Akita Height: 183cm Age: 38 Blood Type: B Hobbies: Gardening Strengths: Suggestive interrogation Favorite Food: Ramen Favorite Words: Better to let one thing die than to let one thing be born Favorite Thing: Listening to strangers' stories Dislikes/Weaknesses: Criminals A Recorder for Ugly Duck. A man who was once Hajime Tenmei's Recorder. He left the organization once following Hajime's death. He rejoined two years ago; in the interim, he worked as a bartender. A beauty with red hair and crimson eyes. He looks unusually young, appearing to be the same age as Daichi at first glance. Possessing androgynous beauty, almost everyone he passes, regardless of gender, turns to look back. He grows his hair long as a form of prayer/vow. For unknown reasons, he never tans despite his skin type. He is calm, collected, and friendly, rarely becoming emotional. However, he has absolute contempt for those who turn to crime and can be harsh toward them. Midori's view of Daichi Tenmei: Calls Daichi by his first name without honorifics. Midori's view of Tatehito Kiri: Calls Tatehito by his first name without honorifics.
