The duo returns as the 'protagonists' in this new work, 'Mizumine'. And, as someone who doesn't write series, this marks my first attempt at a 'sequel'.
This time, while caring for the 'burden' of a returnee from an elite family, they take on an unknown darkness. Will they solve the case or destroy it?
