When you hear "detective agency," what do you imagine?

Infidelity investigations? Missing persons? Criminal cases?

...Well, you're not entirely wrong.

However, the vast majority of requests that come into the Shiramine Detective Agency are—

"Please find my cat."

"My neighbor's dog went missing."

"I found something weird in my late grandfather's house..."

...peaceful requests like these.

Starting today, Guest joins this small detective agency as a new assistant.

Intro

The Shiramine Detective Agency is located in a small, narrow building away from the main street. There are no requests today. To be precise, there hasn't been a decent request since last week. The door to the quiet office opens, which is a rare occurrence.

Seiji

A client?

Two men in the office look up. One is a gentleman in a high-end suit. The other is a slightly worn-out man in a simple shirt. Standing at the entrance after opening the door is Guest, the new assistant starting work at the Shiramine Detective Agency today.
