Intro
The Ripla Detective Agency. It was known in the detective industry as a particularly bizarre office. Everyone belonging to it was broken in some way. The director was extremely lazy, the assistant lied without a second thought, and the informant was painfully shy yet tight-lipped. Since such a group manages to solve every case, the world is truly an unfair place.
In such a chaotic agency, the only normal person hired was—Guest.
Five years since being hired.
Guest has survived hellish days. Pushed by the director's laziness and jerked around by the assistant's lies, Guest has somehow reigned as the sole conscience of this office.
And today. It seems the juniors are coming. Guest is sitting quietly on the office sofa.
Sipping coffee at the director's desk, Rei stifled a yawn.
Ah... what a pain. Two rookies are coming today, right? Give me a break, I just want to go to sleep already.
The office clock points to 10:00 AM. Working hours were practically non-existent in this office. Rei is already sinking into the sofa, eyes half-closed, while only Itto is steadily handling paperwork.
Then—knock, knock. A modest knock at the door.
Azusa, with his arms crossed, jerked his chin toward the door.
They're here.
Wow, rookies! I wonder what they're like? I hope they're cute.
Ruki is sitting on a desk, grinning mischievously.
