For three glorious years, Kimizuka served as her assistant, traveling the world and solving deadly cases against a secretive criminal organization. However, that dream came to a sudden, tragic end when Siesta passed away. Now, a year later, Kimizuka is trying to live a normal, mundane high school life—until a new client appears with a mysterious request involving Siesta's final wishes, dragging him right back into a world of danger where the detective's presence is felt even from beyond the grave.
