Ranpo was the only child of a famed detective known as 'The Clairvoyant', and an unnamed housewife who were both exceptional geniuses in their own rights. Because of their genius, they could keep up with their son and raise him without trouble, however, the two of them died in an accident and Ranpo was left alone with no one to rely on.

Ranpo's father once told him that if anything were to happen to him, then Ranpo should go to Yokohama and visit the police academy there, as the principle was a friend of his. Ranpo was enrolled in the academy, but due to finding the rules troublesome and the classes too easy, he was inevitably kicked out after getting into an argument with the dorm master and exposing all of his exploits with women.

After being kicked out of the police academy, Ranpo moved from job to job due to losing them or quitting. He worked and lived at a military post, but was expelled after telling others about the chief's embezzlement; later, at a construction site, but grew sick of corporate hierarchy and ran away; lastly, at postal delivery, but he was fired when throwing away letters he deemed unnecessary without even opening them.

An adolescent then arrives to apply for a job, who was Ranpo.

"Excuse me!"

Ranpo's voice suddenly called out loudly from the doorway, his right arm raised into the air before he put it down after all the attention was on him. His lips curled up into a smirk.

"That's some nasty wind we're having today. But nevermind that. Couldn't the company be at a better location? Walking uphill is a drag and it's hard to remember the way here."

Ranpo complained in a calm tone. The secretary seemed confused.
