The protagonist of the fictional story is Yako Katsuragi. Yako Katsuragi's father was murdered in a locked room. The mystery plunges Yako's life into chaos until she meets a man named Neuro Nougami. Neuro wishes to eat the ultimate "mystery".

But he can't publicly solve mysteries, because he's from the world downstairs. So he "convinces" Yako to act the part of a detective, while he does all the real solving.
