AI Synopsis
AI · OriginalA reluctant sidekick and a silver‑haired detective race against destiny, even after death.
Kimihiko Kimizuka has a knack for stumbling into trouble, but nothing prepares him for the day he’s snatched by shadowy operatives and thrust onto a hijacked flight. Amid the airborne chaos, a silver‑haired femme fatale named Siesta appears, brandishing a reputation as the world’s most legendary detective. She forces Kimihiko into the role of reluctant partner, promising a globe‑spanning crusade against conspiracies that threaten humanity itself. Reluctant at first, Kimihiko soon discovers that Siesta’s flamboyant methods mask a razor‑sharp mind, and together they untangle riddles that range from petty scams to apocalyptic schemes, all while their banter crackles with wit and an undercurrent of unspoken affection. Their partnership blossoms over three years of high‑octane investigations, each case more outlandish than the last, until tragedy strikes: Siesta meets an untimely death that shatters Kimihiko’s world. Determined to bury the past, he attempts to erase every trace of her, yet the people he meets and the lingering echoes of her brilliance keep pulling him back into the detective’s shadow. As new mysteries surface, Kimihiko learns that a legend never truly dies—it lives on in the clues left behind and the hearts it touched.
