This book is a collection of short stories written by Morimi Nobumihiko in tribute to the classics. The all-powerful library police chief robbed the activity room of the Sophist Club, and the Sophist Club was in danger of disbanding. Meiye, a member who claims to be the "spokesperson of the Sophist Club", went to the library police chief to argue.

For this reason, Meiye left his only close friend Serina as a hostage, and he embarked on a great escape across Kyoto. Will Serina's wait be disappointed? Can Meiye escape the trap set by the superior in Kyoto? Where will these two close friends, tied together by the black thread of fate, go in the end? Nobhiko Morimi brought five classic works to the stage in Kyoto, and recolored them with a dreamy and humorous brush, thus reshaping the literary classics and perfectly depicting the decadent and exciting daily life of a group of youthful and lost college students.

In Kyoto during the Victorian era, the famous detective Sherlock Holmes suffered a tragedy in the "Red-Headed Society Incident". Since then, he has fallen into a trough and his detective agency is also facing closure. Watson, who became a detective novelist by writing "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", also fell into a writing impasse. The two formed a "waste alliance" with Professor Moriarty, who was also in depression, and the Lestrade Police Department, which had been repeatedly frustrated. Unlike the depressed men, the women here are full of life. The young Irene Adler opened a detective agency opposite Sherlock Holmes's residence, became famous in the blink of an eye, and launched a reasoning showdown with Holmes who stayed behind closed doors. Her former classmate and recorder Mary also started writing "The Irene Adler Chronicle" and started a "couple showdown" with her husband Watson. Soon, Holmes came to live in seclusion in the bamboo forest at the home of his old friend Musgrave. Many years ago, there was a case of missing girl here, and in that case Holmes returned home in vain. Watson, who went to find and persuade Holmes, discovered that this case may be the source of Holmes's depression. Closed rooms, vast bamboo forests, bottomless black holes... All kinds of incredible interweaving, the story moves in an unexpected direction. With such a world as the stage, can Holmes escape his slump?
