This is the fifth volume of the Tanmoshi light novel series.
Synopsis[]
I, Kimizuka Kimihiko, a third-year high school student, was once an assistant to a great detective.
"You're a great detective?" My second time began a month ago, in a classroom at dusk. In the midst of my lukewarm daily life, I became my classmate's assistant to the detective.
And then--she held me close, scolded me, cried, laughed, swore that she wouldn't die on her own, we pursued a wish that went against the laws of the world together, fought a deadly battle with our nemesis--and then, we were separated in death.
I was left alone again, drowning in a reality as cold as freezing water.
But--
"Assistant. Let's go on a journey to save our friends once again."
...Ahh. We can't end here.
Because that's what it is, isn't it?
This is a story about an assistant regaining her status as a great detective, leading to a happy ending.
高校三年生の俺・君塚君彦は、かつて名探偵の助手だった。
｢あんたが名探偵？｣二度目の始まりは一ヶ月前、夕暮れの教室。ぬるま湯の日常の中で、俺は同級生の探偵助手になった。
それから――彼女は俺を抱き締めて、叱って、泣いて、笑って、勝手に死んだりしないと誓って、共に世界の理に反する願いを追い求めて、宿敵と死闘を繰り広げて――そして、死に別れた。
また一人生き残ってしまった俺は凍える冷水の如き現実に溺れている。
だけど――
｢助手。もう一度、仲間を助けに旅に出よう｣
……ああ。俺達がここで終わって良いはずがない。
だってそうだろ？
これは助手が名探偵を取り戻し、ハッピーエンドに至る物語なのだから。[1]
Reunited with Siesta, Kimihiko is pulled back into action as assistant to the Ace Detective. Together, the two face off against Seed again and, with a little extra help, defeat him. Although that particular crisis may be over, the journey to awaken Natsunagi continues. In search of clues for how to save her, Siesta and Kimihiko travel to New York City. However, instead of answers, they find trouble brewing with the Phantom Thief—and worst of all, Siesta disappears![2]
