E-book Bonus - Newly Written Short Story
"London Morning"
The London sky visible from the office window hung heavy again today.
Prepare breakfast for two. Newspaper on the sofa. Radio volume not 5 or 7, but 6!
That is my, Belka Zeppelin's, daily routine.
"Fidoo—"
When I call out humming to the other side of the door, a brown object appears sluggishly from there after a while.
"I told you to call me Sensei."
Already a grumpy face even though nothing has happened yet.
But he's not particularly angry. Sensei just has this face.
I know everything about the UK's greatest detective, Fido.
"After all—I am detective Fido's~"
"Don't sing strange original songs in the morning. It makes the food taste bad."
"Mean. Ah, right, about today's schedule, in the morning there is one infidelity investigation of that athlete..."
As I was reading out the day's work schedule as usual, Fido suddenly interrupted.
"Cancel it."
"Eh? Why?"
"We're going to Japan."
"Japan... so suddenly again."
"You know about Tatsuya too, right?"
"Of course..."
The news of the world's greatest detective's death. No one in this industry doesn't know.
"Passenger plane crash and luxury liner sinking... heard it was a terrible accident. But what does that have to do with anything?"
"Going to see with my own eyes. I don't think that Immortal Detective dies so easily. Besides, he should have a son. Heard he's a half-fledged detective, but I want to see how much he's worth."
"Whaaat. Basically, you're worried about your old friend."
"Shut up. I'll get ready immediately. You responsibly eat this cut-corner dog food."
"Wa-Wait, Sensei—!"
Now then, what kind of case will we get wrapped up in this time?
Well, I'm not scared or anything. After all, I am Detective Fido's—
"One and only~ disciple~... Ah, dog food is surprisingly not bad."
