When you hear "detective agency," what kind of work do you imagine?

Infidelity investigations? Finding missing people? Solving crimes?

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

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

"Please find my cat."

"The neighbor's dog went missing."

"Something strange turned up 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?

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