This is the second volume of the Tanmoshi light novel series.
Synopsis[]
This is a scene from when the detective was "still alive."
I, Kimizuka Kimihiko, a third-year high school student, was once an assistant to a great detective.
A year has passed since I lost Siesta, and after meeting Natsunagi and Saikawa and reuniting with Shar, one day I am kidnapped by Siesta along with them.
The truth behind Siesta's death, which I seem to have "forgotten," is revealed.
A record of the long, yet short journey of the detective and his assistant.
It is a tale of an adventure between a boy and a girl that begins 10,000 meters above the ground.
"I want you all to witness the final battle I have faced..."
And so Siesta reveals.
The truth that no one knows yet.
Why the detective is already dead.
This is the second installment of the Reminiscences series, which won the Grand Prize at the 15th MF Bunko J Light Novel Newcomer Award, which caused an unprecedented response after the release of the first volume.
