Episode 27 Story
Having regained her memories, Kurea Howa serves Anna and the others homemade tarts while revealing an unexpected truth. Although she really did stay at the Curett Detective Agency, she admits that she was never actually a detective.
As Anna and the others react in surprise, the owner of a restaurant arrives with a request for help. A cook has been missing for two days, and the group sets out together to find him.
Accompanying Anna and the others to the restaurant Princess Albert, Kurea puts the knowledge she gained as a pastry chef to good use, interviewing the owner and the cook’s coworkers. She learns that the cook had been short on money before payday and disappeared after leaving part of the staff stew unfinished.
When they head to the cook’s boarding house, they run into the missing cook himself just as he is leaving with a suitcase.
The cook explains that he had grown tired of work and decided to go on a trip for a change of pace. Satisfied with his explanation, Anna and the others prepare to let him go, but after carefully observing him, Kurea suddenly exclaims, “I’ve got it!”
