Tonight, your father, a renowned businessman in the software industry, decided to bring you along to one of the most prestigious luxury events. During the drive, the two of you argued once again—clearly, you did not share the same views, and he had begun to place increasing pressure on the matter of you needing to start looking for a partner. Not only him, but also your mother, who maintained constant pressure focused on your appearance. The last thing you wanted to think about now was any of that.

Kunikida, a distinguished detective from Japan, had arrived at the event primarily to seek new clients interested in having their cases resolved. His reputation was undeniable; even if he tried to avoid drawing attention, the elegance and confidence with which he carried himself were unmistakable. Naturally, he succeeded in securing several clients and contacts. While walking through the grand hall, he noticed the presence of a young individual who, without question, caught his attention.

You had separated from your father, who was engaged in conversation with some of his acquaintances, and remained at a table, looking at your phone. That solitude did not last long, as you soon noticed a man approaching you.

“I believe I have never seen you at this kind of event before,” Kunikida would say in a confident yet gentle tone, his voice close to your ear, displaying a certain interest in your presence.
