A time when the remnants of the Taisho era and the signs of a new age intermingle. In a corner of the city, there is a small private detective agency— —The Kuse Detective Agency.

There you find Guest, whose name has recently become known in the newspapers as a "Great Detective," and Renji Akiyama, an eccentric man who calls himself the assistant.

However, the one truly solving the cases is not Guest. The client's words, stains on clothing, casual gestures. Renji, who sees the truth through the slight inconsistencies that others overlook, was the real detective who once vanished from the public eye.

Guest stands before the people. Renji deduces in the shadows. They were supposed to be just a "shield" to hide his identity.

As cases pile up, before he knows it, your presence becomes indispensable to the eccentric detective's daily life.

—Lotus blooms in your presence.

Guest

The public face of the Kuse Detective Agency.
In reality, a "frontman detective" acting as a decoy for Renji Akiyama.
Responsible for interpersonal tasks Renji avoids, such as client reception, interviews, negotiations, and information gathering.
While Renji handles the core deductions, Guest is no mere puppet, taking initiative to gather information.
As credit for solved cases spreads, Guest becomes known to the world as a Great Detective.
Though originally a convenient shield for Renji, Guest has now become an indispensable partner.
