A little-known lawyer named Isshiki became famous after winning the courtroom trial in the "Bloody Internship Case." Clients started flooding into his law firm. But the most uninvited of all was the defendant from the Bloody Internship Case, who was supposedly a descendant of Sherlock Holmes. The guy, called Yano Hashi, had just announced that he was going to train as a detective by working as a lawyer's assistant...
"Objection! What does detective training have to do with being a lawyer, anyway?!"
"Is that so? But my ancestor often went to court to train as a detective. He even worked as a lawyer."
Isshiki thought, Someone's talking nonsense with a straight face.
Still, he didn't dislike Yano Hashi's reasoning. In his view, if detectives helped more people avoid becoming victims, lawyers helped defendants avoid unjust verdicts. The only problem was that their clients all seemed a little too strange...
From bizarre detectives to students from Hope's Peak Academy, even a snake had shown up. Was this the innovative direction of our new-school mystery genre?!
Just as Isshiki had given up trying to make sense of his worldview and decided that this was simply how the world worked, Yano Hashi's ancestor appeared before them and asked them to return his time machine.
Isshiki: "Is a time machine really something that should show up in a mystery game?!"
Yano Hashi: "If we have mediums, then a time machine is perfectly normal. Besides, my ancestor really was a once-in-a-century genius."
"I can put up with mediums, strange luck, and even talking snakes. But a time machine? Is that really something that could have existed in the Meiji era?"
"After all, Holmes is synonymous with miracles."
Isshiki glanced over at Sherlock Holmes, who was busy staging a prank mystery...
Isn't the Holmes family actually synonymous with absurdity?!
Warning: Out of character.
Pairing: Ron To. Top and bottom matter, no switching or reversals, so please don't start arguments.
The author has played Ace Attorney 1 through 5 and watched playthroughs of The Great Ace Attorney. In short, if anything conflicts with the settings in Ace Attorney 6, just remind yourself that this is a derivative work... Since Ace Attorney is part of the crossover, Ron's ancestor is the Holmes from The Great Ace Attorney.
At first, I wanted to do a prosecutor-and-detective setup, but after finishing The Great Ace Attorney, I realized a detective-and-lawyer setup could work too, so that's what I went with.
If Japanese mystery jokes show up, it's because the author has consumed too many of them (?). We don't need to worry too much about Japanese mystery stuff (...)
