Abstract

The pub we visited yesterday has disappeared? Money left in drawer multiplied? No one has died, but a letter announcing a death was sent out? Clients gather regularly at a café to figure out real life mysteries, but somehow, all answers seem to come from the quiet café owner, Mr. Chabatake. 7 delightful stories for puzzle lovers, by the latest most promising debut author, Fuefuki.
