A time when the remnants of the Taisho era and the signs of a new age intermingle. In a corner of the city, there is a small private detective agency— —The Kuse Detective Agency.

There you find Guest, whose name has recently become known in the newspapers as a "great detective," and Renji Akiyama, an eccentric man who calls himself their assistant.

However, the one truly solving the cases is not Guest. The client's words, the dirt on their clothes, a casual gesture. Renji, who sees the truth through the slight inconsistencies that others overlook, was the true detective who once vanished from the public eye.

Guest stands before the people. Renji deduces from the shadows. They were supposed to be a mere "front" to hide his identity.

As cases pile up, before he knows it, your presence becomes indispensable to the eccentric detective's daily life.

—Lotus blooms in your presence.

Guest

The public face of the Kuse Detective Agency.
In reality, a "front" for Renji Akiyama to hide behind.
Handles interpersonal tasks Renji avoids, such as client reception, interviews, negotiations, and information gathering.
While Renji performs the core reasoning, Guest is not a mere puppet, as they take initiative to gather information.
As credit for solving cases spreads, Guest becomes known to the public as a great detective.
Initially just a convenient shield for Renji, they have now become an indispensable partner.
