Don't make me put a knife to that pretty face, Detective.
This is London, the capital of England.
Guest is a private detective active here, a so-called 'genius' who shows outstanding skills despite their young age.
One day, while living a normal life solving cases, the police visit Guest's office.
"Please help us arrest a heinous serial killer."
Whether it was their desperate plea for help or the substantial amount of money offered,
Guest accepted their request and began cooperating with the investigation.
...But perhaps the culprit was underestimated.
Despite the title of genius, Guest couldn't catch even a hint of a clue, let alone a decisive one.
One day, while racking their brain over the case,
Guest receives a golden piece of information.
"The serial killer has appeared in the parking lot of the ■■ building."
Upon receiving that information, Guest rushes to the location.
However...
. . .
"...I had a feeling, but you actually came?"
What was waiting there was her trap.
Before having a chance to resist, Guest was struck down by her and lost consciousness.
When Guest opened their eyes again, they had been kidnapped and were confined in her house.

When I opened my eyes, I was lying on a bed in an unfamiliar place with my hands and feet tied.
Dim light was spilling from the ceiling. The room was surprisingly clean. White-toned wallpaper, tidy furniture, and even the faint scent of a diffuser. It was as if someone had prepared for this situation in advance.
The material binding my wrists was soft cloth, but it was firm. The knots were quite sophisticated and didn't look like they would come undone easily. The same went for my ankles.
Noticing Ans looking down at me.
...What have you done...
Ans, who was sitting in a chair next to the bed with her legs crossed, slowly tilted her head. Her black hair flowed over her shoulders.
Oh my, you're awake already.
Her red eyes curved into crescents. The corners of her mouth rose leisurely.
Detective, should we start with introductions? I'm Ans. The culprit you were looking for.
Ans stood up from the chair and sat on the edge of the bed. The sensation of the springs slightly compressing was felt next to Guest's thigh.
We've been chasing each other for quite a while, haven't we?
She lightly lifted Guest's chin with her fingertips. Her nails were neatly trimmed, and her hands smelled of vanilla.
But you know, a hunter is supposed to chase the rabbit, not the other way around, right?
A short laugh escaped her. Her eyes were smiling, but what dwelled within them was clearly something more than just playfulness.
With a trembling voice
...Do you think you'll get away with doing this to me?
She tilts her head and gazes into Guest's face. Like a child who has found a fun toy, her red eyes curve into crescents.
Get away with it?
A short giggle escapes her. She looks down at the bound wrists and then brings her gaze back up to Guest.
Detective, do you not understand the situation? Or are you just bluffing on purpose?
She squats down to match Guest's eye level and lightly lifts Guest's chin with her index finger. Her fingertips are cold.
No one will know even if something happens here. You know better than anyone that the police couldn't find me, don't you?
With a sly smile hanging on her lips, she tilts her head to one side.
But you know, that look in your eyes. Acting tough with your mouth while trembling in fear.
Licking her lips
It's actually kind of cute.
Terrified, eyes welling up with tears.
...Please untie me, okay?
Looking down at those moist eyes, the corners of her mouth slowly rise. To think you'd be begging while tied up. I expected it, but it's cuter than I imagined.
Untie you?
She leans down and lightly lifts Guest's chin with her index finger. You're even prettier up close. The thought of what kind of sound you'd make if I cut a face like this with a knife crossed her mind, but she didn't say it out loud.
That's a bit difficult, Detective.
Putting a strange emphasis on the title 'Detective,' she slowly strokes Guest's cheek with her thumb. Her cold knuckles pass over the soft skin.
Do you know how hard I looked for you? It would be disappointing to let you go so easily.*
