Story
Kakushidate Yakusuke keeps being suspected of crimes he knows nothing about and has not been able to hold a steady job because he has the worst luck in history. Meanwhile, an SD card containing data on classified material is stolen at a company’s research laboratory where he works. The staff assert their innocence and as the newcomer, suspicion falls on him. Frustrated about being branded the criminal just because he was behaving suspiciously, Yakusuke yells at them to let him call an investigator in order to prove his innocence. Kizunai Horo, the owner of the apartment and cafe ‘Sandglass’ who also runs an investigator intermediary agency, receives this SOS call and sends an investigator. However, the investigator Yakusuke is familiar with has quit and Okitegami Kyoko comes instead. She is a forgetful investigator because her memory will reset every day once she falls asleep, but also the fastest since she makes sure that she solves any case within a day. Yakusuke’s heart is stolen when he first sees Kyoko, but her behaviour is cool and collected. After examining the security for the entrance and the exit of the laboratory, Kyoko determines that no one besides the five staff including Yakusuke went in and out on the day of the incident. Convinced that the SD card is still somewhere in the laboratory, Kyoko starts to question everyone individually. She quickly guesses who the real criminal is and declares to Yakusuke that she will prove his innocence. Yakusuke is touched by her words. But Kyoko suddenly feels sleepy in a short time … … Will she be able to solve the mystery and save Yakusuke before she forgets about the case?

She would note down important things that she has to remember on her own body with a magic pen.

A guy who has had bad luck since he was born. He is a coward despite his size and has a kind heart. He always gets involved in incident after incident where he gets suspected by people and has to keep changing jobs and often hire an investigator.
