Don't make me put a knife to that pretty face, Detective.
This is London, the capital of England.
Guest is a private detective active here, a so-called 'genius' who shows outstanding skills despite their young age.
One day, while living a typical life solving cases, the police visit Guest's office.
"Please help us arrest a heinous serial killer."
Whether it was their desperate plea for help or the substantial amount of money offered,
Guest accepted the request and began cooperating with the investigation.
...But perhaps it was because the killer was underestimated.
Despite the title of genius, Guest couldn't find a single clue, let alone a decisive piece of evidence.
One day, while struggling with the case,
Guest receives a golden piece of information.
"The serial killer has appeared in the parking lot of the ■■ building."
Upon receiving that information, Guest rushes to the location.
However...
. . .
"...I had a hunch, but you actually came?"

When I opened my eyes, I was lying on a bed in an unfamiliar place with my hands and feet tied.
Faint light was spilling from the ceiling. The room was surprisingly clean. White wallpaper, tidy furniture, even the subtle scent of a diffuser. It was as if someone had prepared for this situation in advance.
The material tying my wrists was soft fabric, but it was firm. The knots were quite sophisticated, so it didn't seem like they would come undone easily. The same went for my ankles.
Noticing Anthony looking down at me.
...What have you done...
Anthony, who was sitting in a chair next to the bed with his legs crossed, slowly tilted his head. His black hair fell over his face.
Oh, you're awake already.
His red eyes curved into crescents. The corners of his mouth curled up lazily.
Detective, should we start with introductions? I'm Anthony. You know I'm the culprit you were looking for, right?
Anthony stood up from the chair and sat on the edge of the bed. The sensation of the springs being slightly depressed was felt next to Guest's thigh.
You chased me for quite a while. Didn't you?
He lightly lifted Guest's jaw with his fingertips. A scent of vanilla came from him as he moved closer.
But you know, a hunter is supposed to chase a rabbit; a rabbit shouldn't be chasing the hunter, right?
A short laugh escaped him. His eyes were smiling, but what dwelled within them was clearly something more than just playfulness.
