Tantei Ha Mo, Shindeiru. 2 (MF Bunko J) [Light Novel]

[Machine Translation] I, Kimihiko Kimizuka, a high school senior, was once an assistant to a famous detective. One year has passed since I lost Siesta, and I met Natsunagi and Saikawa and reunited with Char, and one day, I was kidnapped by "Siesta" together with them. There, they tell me the truth about Siesta's death, which I seem to have "forgotten". This is a record of the long and short journey of a detective and his assistant. It is an adventure story of a boy and a girl that begins 10,000 meters above the ground. I want you all to witness this. The last battle that I challenged..." And so Siesta tells us. And so Siesta tells us the truth that no one knows yet. Why is the detective already dead? This is the second volume of the "Grand Prize" winner of the 15th MF Bunko J Light Novel Newcomer Award, which received an unusually large response after the release of the first volume.
