There may be eccentric nobility here as well, but there are also friends, and at least she can do her job.

The series of misunderstandings cascades further. Takanashi Souta is confused and disturbed after his attempt to encourage androphobic waitress Inami to find a boyfriend last episode, and buries himself with cleaning his family home. To the extent that it disturbs his sisters, in particular his gothic sister Izumi who believes Souta’s distraction, at what she thinks is losing a girlfriend, will imperil herself. Time to get Souta a new girlfriend. Meanwhile Inami re-encounters the strange novelist, who begs her to meet her younger brother.

When she and Shotaro go out collecting, they seem to have a knack for finding human remains, and Sakurako’s keen eye and forensic knowledge can quickly tell what befell the previous owner of the latest set of bones she has become obsessed with.
