Here's the blurb:

My ability, Yugu Duolaxi'er, means the World Tree from Norse mythology. In theory, it lets me see an infinite number of possible futures.

It's like knowing that if I step on the fourth brick from the left, on the right-hand side, on a rainy day, dirty water will splash onto my shoes and socks. Or, for example, that there's a 97.5 percent chance that Takagi from next door will fail at confessing her feelings today.

Because I observed that possibility.

To me, this world is like an open book, utterly devoid of surprises, except for...

"Oh my, is this fate guiding us, miss?"

I looked up. A young man in a sand-colored trench coat was smiling and waving at me from a short distance away.

Yes, this person was the only one who could surprise me.

And I hate surprises.

An everyday story. Everyone gets a happy ending.

The most reliable member of the detective agency stared at the men whose auras all seemed terribly suspicious and asked in disbelief:

"You're saying all these people are your friends, including the one who climbed over the wall...?"

"That's right."

"What about this one who looks so frivolous?"

"Well, he may look frivolous, but he really is a teacher."

"And this one who doesn't look like a good person..."

"He's... um, he's friends with the guy from before. Well... for work, I guess you'd say he's in the religious business, though he sometimes moonlights as a teacher."

"And this one? Wow, his panties! Strawberry-print panties are showing!"

"He's the owner of a general odd-jobs shop in Kabukicho."

"Sorry, I must have misheard. Where?"

"Kabukicho. The rent's really cheap there, or so he says."

"Wait, why do you know him? No, why are you going to Kabukicho?!"

"For social studies. But don't be fooled by how unserious he looks. He used to be a teacher too."

"Is Japan's education system already doomed?!"
