In the Great Library, you've piled up a lot of materials for drawing manga, and when I have free time, I also go to tidy them up and find some books to read.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria's answer was also reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A maid's work is very complex, especially when being a maid for Little Nagi.

How many people would have to die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria also felt it was quite ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a detective novel had a number of deaths that could be called \"Grim Reaper,\" that detective novel would definitely be trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I think it should be a manga, or an anime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden, long-winded addition made Maria's breathing hitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Detective manga and anime... and the deaths are serialized?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why that person is called the 'Grim Reaper'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was well-reasoned, leaving Maria unable to refute it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Connecting it to the situation in Beika City, I gradually understand why the crime rate in Beika City is so high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagi Sanzenin was a bit speechless, yet it seemed she had found the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just putting the crime rate of the entire island nation into one point, just to send some cases to the protagonist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an answer is truly a bit speechless, but combined with reality, it seems that's really how it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The point of Shinichi Kudo turning into a child doesn't look like an ending, but more like a beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, the beginning of the story is that the famous detective Shinichi Kudo was hit with a club by a member of a strange organization, was forcibly fed a strange drug and turned into a child, and then it's the story of Shinichi Kudo using an alias to investigate that organization and the poison, attempting to turn himself back into a high school student.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria's speculation was as logical as ever, and Nagi Sanzenin also listened, finding it very logical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That initial club and a pill directly caused a high school detective to have a grudge with a strange organization, and what followed was a story of mutual maneuvering between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mm, very reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder he dislikes being a student at Teitan High School.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nagi Sanzenin understood a bit, but then she became curious again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maria, what kind of story do you think we are in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For us, it should be a story with Little Nagi as the theme.
