I became the personal maid to the infamous empress.... more>>

But why an evil woman? The empress, known as the Wicked Seductress, is not only innocent but strangely endearing to me.

“Your Majesty, I don’t need to debut in high society.”

“If you’re a noble lady, you must formally debut in social circles at a ball. Don’t worry about anything else, I’ll take care of it.”

…I don’t want to debut or do anything related to high society.

The empress quickly checks my appearance and even fixes stray hairs.

I feel like the roles of the maid and the empress have switched, but maybe it’s just my mood?

“If you hold the Emperor’s hand and make an appearance, it will be the best debut in high society. It’s a moment that every noble lady in the realm dreams of.”

No, I don’t dream of such a thing!

Receiving adornment from the empress and dancing the debut dance with the crown prince as a maid. What on earth is going on? <<less

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?

It's simple.

She's...

Olivier's lips curved into a slight smile as he watched Amélie.
His gaze met her calm green eyes. There was a subtle heat in those cool, forest-like eyes.

"Amelie, the more I see you, the more fascinating you become."

“...”

"When I first saw you, it was in a dark alley, and the second time, we met in the evening and stayed together until late at night. And now, here we are, spending the night together again."

Amélie quickly lowered her gaze. It felt strange. The nape of her neck grew increasingly warm.

The woman who would seduce and pounce on men every single night—Lilith Sera.... more>>

And when the day comes…

“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”

She would be left with shameful memories from last night.

—

“Lily, do you happen to know about the succubus?”
“…I read about it in a book. They’re demons… that tempt people and do bad things…”

During the spring of her sixteenth year, that was when she first saw the sign. It was a strange pattern underneath her navel that told her… she’s a succubus.

She had a clunky ring that was supposed to suppress her instincts. It was a relic that her grandmother left for her.

But on the day the kingdom fell into ruin, she lost her ring.

“My ring. It’s very important to me, but that person took it.”
“I’m sure I put it in my pocket. It should be right he— it’s… gone.”

Without that ring, Lilith would be conquered by the instincts of a succubus.

“Then, shouldn’t you take responsibility?”

—

“I’m already looking for it as hard as I can. I said I’d take responsibility, but if I’d known this is what that meant…”
“If you don’t want me to come here every night, then find it quickly. My treasure.”

After she lost her ring, every night, she looked for men who would become her prey.

Odil was just one of them.

“You came here yesterday, too! Please, just do it in moderation and leave.”
“Every time you say such mean things, I want to make you even cuter.”

Stop, just give up.

This instinct, once awoken, constantly craved for prey every night, and it was nice to see Odil’s flushed face whenever he’d see her after she came looking for him again.

“Odil, it’s far from being over. I won’t let you go until morning.”

“The Count, there… … Ouch, ah, ah, stop it!”

“Stop? Are you trying to give me orders?”

“Ah, it’s not like that, huh!”

“To say the following is such a presumptuous statement, it is absurd.”
