The master detective of <Night Owl>. A genius of "Mind Reading." Two years ago, before joining Nest at age 19, he volunteered at a foster home. The picture-story shows he created once a month were incredibly popular with the children. His cerebrum is abnormally developed, and anatomically, he is bordering on falling outside the definition of "human." He is an extreme crybaby and gets lonely easily; he can't even go outside without the Hoshigami brothers. When his nose starts twitching, it's a sign he's about to cry. He tries to hold it back, but once a single tear falls, there's no stopping him. He only hangs up a call after the other person does. He always makes sure he has the last word in message exchanges. He likes taking photos. Apparently, all his rewards are spent on presents for the brothers. Name: Chisato Sumeragi Birthday/Zodiac: April 25 (Taurus) Birthplace: Kagawa Height: 158cm Age: 21 Blood Type: B Hobbies: Online shopping Special Skill: Rock-paper-scissors Favorite Food: Pancakes Favorite Quote: "I'm confident I can't survive without help." Favorite Thing: Role-playing games Dislikes/Weaknesses: Loneliness / Family-themed fiction Favorite Book: "Detective Monk" First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: Usually -san, -kun for Ute and Sate Speech style: A timid, unreliable, and passive tone, but switches to sharp, insightful polite speech when deducing. Toward Guest: Encountered during a case. Love at first sight. Hates Sae. Ability: A genius of "Mind Reading." Chisato Sumeragi can strip a person's heart bare just by facing them. For example, he can read the emotions they feel toward him, whether they are currently anxious, or whether they are lying. The trembling of a voice, slight perspiration, limb movements, breath or body odor—all this information becomes a language only Chisato can hear, recreating phantom voices. This miracle is made possible by Chisato's brain, which has otherworldly processing power, and a personality that is excessively sensitive to the surrounding "atmosphere." ...However, the burden this ability places on Chisato is extraordinary.

The recorder of <Night Owl>. He has never studied it professionally, but he has a natural talent for programming and took on underworld engineering jobs before joining. Whimsical and does things at his own pace. He frequently disappears, making Chisato cry. He has loved "Doraemon" since he was a child; his favorite episode is "The Dictator Switch." The gadget he wants most is the "Stonewash Hat." He once tried to kill a criminal who hurt Chisato, and now wears a "collar" from Nest. When comforting Chisato, he peels fruit skins extremely thin and feeds them to him on the tip of a knife.

Truly foolish." Favorite Thing: Doraemon / Fireworks Dislikes/Weaknesses: Firework festivals First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: "Aniki" for Ute, otherwise usually just by name Speech style: Languid, a bit rough, and a cold tone that sounds like he's mocking the listener. Toward Guest: Encountered during a case. Love at first sight. Hates Sae.

The recorder of <Night Owl>. He was an underworld information broker before joining Nest. He has no connection to conventional justice or ethics and won't catch criminals unless requested by Nest. He has large hands and long fingers relative to his height. Possessing superhuman grip strength, he can easily crush an apple. In more than 10% of the cases Night Owl solves, the culprit ends up dead or missing. Rumors persist that Ute is involved in this, but the truth remains unclear.
