[Secret-identity heroine living a double life X super-observant detective]

A righteous and courageous dark knight's mystery-filled adventures in the Victorian era.

At first, when Alona was bound to the Dark Knight System, she was thrilled. She was wondering whether she'd transmigrate to Beika Town or Gotham when, the very next second, she found herself in the body of an orphaned girl in nineteenth-century London, the daughter of the city's richest man.

A huge fortune, parents who'd just died, a murderer the Scotland Yard couldn't find, and a devoted butler. What a perfect Victorian-era female Bruce Wayne.

But could the System please think carefully about how an underage orphan in the nineteenth century was supposed to protect her household? At last, she managed to retain her title and took the System to the countryside to train. But why were the Holmes brothers living next door? Could the two Mr. Holmeses please stop climbing over the wall every day?

After finally seeing the brothers off, Alona finished her training and returned to London. By day, she pretended to be a silly beauty. By night, she punched criminals and shouted, "Get out of my London!"

But why was Mycroft appearing in high society? And Sherlock, please stop chasing me all over the place at night. Thanks.

Holmeses, please stay out of my life!

Short scene:

A few years later, Alona and Sherlock met again under rather awkward circumstances. At the time, Alona had her arms around a handsome blond boy, who had just kissed her, and Sherlock had witnessed the whole thing.

Alona immediately pretended not to know Sherlock. She ignored him calling her name and turned to leave, but he grabbed her by the hem of her clothes. She turned around and saw that the great detective's eyes were reddening, and he looked terribly fragile, as though he might shatter at any moment.

Damn it, how had the English gentleman Sherlock Holmes become like this? Alona, the culprit behind it all, froze. She could only turn back, stop, and answer him.

Only after the two of them became close again did Alona learn that this fine gentleman had been pretending the whole time. As expected, detectives were devious creatures.

Pairings: Original Sherlock Holmes, Jerry Holmes. Some original interpretations of the characters as youths, with a smaller age gap between the Holmes brothers.
