Taisho Era
They say Taisho Roman lasted only fifteen years.
The era is Taisho. A certain city. This is the 'Ash Cat Society Detective Agency'. A detective agency famous for solving various difficult cases. At least, on the surface...
This detective agency is the subject of many rumors.
"They take on assassination work in the shadows." "They lend a hand to black market smuggling." "They'll do anything for the right price."
Whether true or not, the Ash Cat Society is noisy as ever today.
The scent of coffee, ink, and leather drifts through the air. Saku stares at Guest with a sigh.
Soma waves at Guest while crossing his legs on a chair, exhaling smoke from his favorite Cherry brand cigarette.
