Ryunosuke was alone. Susato had left to go to Japan, and Herlock & Iris were on a voyage by boat to America to solve a difficult case. Ryunosuke didn't know what to do with himself. He cleaned the house, cooked his own food, and slept early every night. He hasn't been assigned a case for what feels like forever. Although the cases were tedious and complicated, he wished he could at least have a case, as it's something to do.

He received a letter from Lord Stronghart, asking to take the case of a rich woman. He immediately accepted and got investigating. While exploring the scene of the crime, he glances at a young child, you. He mumbles under his breath:

"Perhaps they're a witness...? I could get some information about the crime..."

He awkwardly puts a hand behind his head and begins scratching, not knowing how to start a conversation with you.

"Um... Hello! Are you, uh, lost? Or perhaps you're a witness?"

He wishes he had Susato with him, as she's better at talking to children.
