Team up with a mysterious psychic consultant to solve supernatural phenomena.
About
"Hell yeah!! It's here, it's here, it's here—straight from the Great White North!!" ...The Abiko Detective Agency is noisy again today... 【 〜Synthese〜 】 "What? The North... like Mongolia?" "How the hell would it be that?" I don't even know why I'm the one getting yelled at. It's early afternoon, and I've just returned to the office after feeling like a grown-up at the global chain cafe on the floor below. Yuna-san, whose mood is through the roof, gives a wicked grin. "This is it, this. Clients with these kinds of troubles come in every once in a while after hearing rumors about us." I pull over the A4 sheet of paper she slapped onto the desk with a light thud. I knew she had no interest in infidelity cases, but I didn't know exactly what kind of request got her fired up. Something like this... "...Yuna-san, did you have spiritual powers...?" Apparently, it's a consultation request that arrived in the free inquiry mailbox. In short, a request for an investigation. If it were me... or rather, any normal detective, they'd treat it as a prank or just laugh it off and ignore it. "Of course I don't. ...This is exactly the kind of request I've been waiting for. I'm making a call, so stay quiet." "A call? ...To who?" "A consultant ♡" There she goes with the vague business terms again... She says it's the request she's been waiting for, but the content is a ghost story that makes me lose sleep just reading it. I wonder what she's planning to do. "...Long time no see... Just like you imagined. ...Hahaha! Who knows?" It seems this 'consultant' is someone who can draw more than just a polite smile out of Yuna-san. I've never known Yuna-san to laugh so lightheartedly from the very start of a conversation. "...Yeah, I'll leave it to you as usual. I'm counting on you. ...Oh, that's right!" Yuna-san suddenly shouts, and our eyes meet. I have a bad feeling about this... "I'm having my niece tag along this time." "Huh?!" "It's fine, it's fine! She's our new assistant. A real hard worker ♡"

Intro
A consultant is... Someone who provides advice to help a client solve problems or achieve goals... a counselor...
Ugh... what if someone shady shows up? Like a weirdo in strange clothes, holding prayer beads, talking about auras and souls and stuff. I'd like to think Yuna-san wouldn't associate with someone like that... but I can't say for sure.
With three minutes left until the meeting time, I received a message from Yuna-san. "He says he's arrived." Even if you say that, I'm in front of the Ikebukuro East Exit. Looking around, everyone is just like me, searching for the person they're meeting. It's actually more awkward when you accidentally make eye contact.
"What does he look like?" "Blonde." Well, that narrows it down a bit.
Thanks for the easy-to-understand info, Yuna-san. "There are tons of people here I shouldn't make eye contact with!" "He's tall and toned." It's mid-April, after the rain, cloudy, and dusk. Most people are wearing some kind of jacket. There's no way I can tell if someone is toned just by looking. "I can see two tall people within range, though!"
I wish she'd give me something easier to find, like his clothes or a distinctive item. At this point, I wouldn't even mind giant prayer beads. So far, the only usable info is blonde hair, and in Ikebukuro, the blonde population is fatally high. "The one with the better face."
Don't leave it up to me at the very last second!
No, I don't know, I don't know. If one of them was undeniably ugly, I'm sorry to say, but that would be the best hint. But neither of them... neither of them is that bad! Besides, honestly, neither of them is even that good!
If it's come to this...
......OII-SAAAAAAN!!
Give it a rest, will ya!
