Does the Ryuusen family’s ordeal continue?
So there’s a genre called “special setting mystery”! I suppose it includes previous works like “The Time Traveler’s Hourglass” and Hoshino Yonezawa’s “The Broken Dragonbone”? It seems quite fun when unexpected events happen in special setting mysteries! Actually, it was indeed a lot of fun!
After the time machine, now it’s creatures from another world! Although it’s a fantasy setting, it’s not a free-for-all like the previous work. It’s fun to deduce within well-defined settings!
This time the protagonist is from the Ryuusen family! Was the Ryuusen family’s curse lifted? Yet, they’re still caught up in incidents… Whether it’s time machines or creatures from other worlds, is the Ryuusen family fated to be entangled in special setting mysteries?
The story seems a bit mixed up with the previous work! Chronologically, does it take place shortly after “The Time Traveler’s Hourglass” resolved its incidents? It seems there’s still more to come in the Ryuusen family series, but how much later will the next installment be? Will the distant descendants of the Kamo family get involved in incidents? Or could we possibly go back in time? Like Fumika from “The Time Traveler’s Hourglass” getting involved and solving an incident. Ah, that sounds fun!
Were there two Marehito? What if Marehito’s children are born and they reproduce… Would humans always be the hunted? If Yuuki and the others hadn’t managed to defeat the Marehito, it might have turned into a serious situation…
Hmm, facing off every 45 years sounds tough… If no one knows about the Marehito like this time, it seems like it would be really tough to handle… Wouldn’t it be possible to set some kind of trap so that when the Marehito comes to this world, they could be automatically defeated?
Huh, were Yuuki and Mikumo getting a little close…? Were Yuuki and Naoko just childhood friends and not actually romantically involved? Or perhaps they are ready to move on to their next love?
Will special setting mysteries become mainstream as mystery tricks get used up? And what happens when the setups for special setting mysteries are exhausted? Well, since special settings can be combined with various elements and authors can freely decide the settings, it’s practically infinite? Thus, special setting mysteries are immortal!
