He sneakily grabbed my hand.

I sighed and twisted my hand out of his grip. “We can’t do this as friends.”

“Are you ashamed of holding my hand even once, Leen?”

No matter how much I think about what Carsion said, with his face showing ‘I barely held one hand’, it doesn’t seem that way.

“I can do more with you, Leen.”

Those words seemed to ring in my head, but the blue pupils were headed in a different direction – you can’t even look me in the eye. I mean, it’s not convincing to say those kind of words with such a shy face, you punk.

* * * * *

The Duchess took something out from the purse in her arms.

“Do you need money? Then take this money and break up with Carsion; take it without hard feelings.”

I stared silently into the thick pockets that the Duchess gave. Then I tapped my chin and gave her a serious look. “We’re not dating, we’re friends. Do you want me to cut off my friendship with Carsion from today?”

Will the Duchess get up from her seat, trembling and slap my face? Or are you going to spray water on me?

“Pass!”

“Ye-yes?” My face slowly blushed with embarrassment.

What’s with her unexpected reaction?! <<less

After a while, a light suddenly appear and it shines strongly.

“Pow pow pow! Yoo-hoo! It’s the goddess~♪ Congratulations! You’ve been chosen to be summoned as the hero~!”

What is it? Is this a gal-like goddess…?

I was suppose to be chosen as a summoned hero by the clumsy goddess, but I was immediately transferred back to my original world due some mixed up on her part . But the “beginner’s pack” blessings that I received were still remained.

Huh? In the other world, it’s a beginner’s pack, but in the modern world, it’s an unbelievable cheat, isn’t it?

A mutual first love story between a gentle cool guy pursuing an arrogant beauty.... more>>

Fu Wenshan, a hot new singer in the entertainment industry, comes from a prestigious family background and has been harassed by various people since his debut, seeking sponsorship.

Xie Wanxing, a killer for handsome faces, is a rising actor with a low-key yet wealthy background, and a knack for making money.

Neither of them knows each other's background, but one day they accidentally sleep together.

Upon waking up, Fu Wenshan, seeing Xie Wanxing's devilishly beautiful face, thinks he's another person seeking sponsorship.

After a few seconds of contemplation, he reluctantly abandons his principles, takes a drag of his cigarette, and, like a seasoned "sponsorship" demon, says to Xie Wanxing, "You can be with me, just behave and don't cause trouble. The conditions are up to you."

It takes Xie Wanxing half a minute to confirm that the person in front of him really wants to sponsor him.

He takes a deep breath and tells himself not to lose his temper.

Then, he slaps him across the face, "Get lost, you're the one seeking sponsorship!"

Even the hotel you slept in belongs to my family. Who's sponsoring whom?!

The two of them quarrel like elementary school kids, causing chaos, and vow never to see each other again in their lives.

However, a month later, due to a variety show, they both face a reality check and reunite under the same roof.

The main character ….. Saeki Yui has been a high school student since April.... more>>

Therefore, he was already a confirmed gloomy loner in his class.
But that is what he wanted.

Unsure of the reasons why, Ye Fei became heartbroken.

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?
