- Chiharu

A beautiful girl with the same nationality as Sherlock Holmes, Chiharu has always firmly believed herself to possess outstanding detective talent, even if as the school’s detective club president her record of solved cases so far is still 0. “It won’t take too long, I’ll definitely succeed in solving my first case.” Though she says this, what Chiharu wants to do most is still to find her older sister, who she lost touch with seventeen years ago since she left home because of a forbidden love affair. This was also her original motive for becoming a detective. And so, one day as she was searching on the pavement with a magnifying glass for tiny clues that might be there, as she usually did, she keenly discovered VirtuaReal’s streamer recruitment ad hidden in a secret nook where the average person wouldn’t find it (on a street stall). Based on meticulous and careful reasoning, she believed that if she undertook livestream activities, there would be a high possibility of being seen by her sister. So then, she gladly went to VirtuaReal's headquarters and was successfully chosen. But what this 17-year-old girl detective didn't know was the root reason she was selected for- definitely not because of that nonsense "keen observation," "painstaking meticulousness," or "ability to easily lead other people to find the right path", but her insight that even the corner cat can’t find… even if she is inviting everyone to nitpick her. We hope this optimistic and extroverted girl can bring those around her out of the dark recesses of their minds.

身为和福尔摩斯拥有相同国籍的美少女，千春始终坚信自己具有出众的侦探天赋，虽然作为本校侦探社的社长迄今为止她的事件解决记录都还是0. “用不了多久，我一定能成功侦破我的第一案. ”虽然这么说着，但千春最想做的事还是找到十七年前因为禁断恋情而离家至今都杳无音信的姐姐，这也是她成为侦探的原始动力. 于是，某天如往常一样拿着放大镜在街边寻觅可能存在的蛛丝马迹的她，敏锐的发现了隐藏在一般人根本发现不了的隐秘角落中（指地摊上）VirtuaReal的主播招聘广告. 根据一番细致缜密的推理，她认为进行直播活动的话很可能会被姐姐看到，这样也能达成找到姐姐的目标，而后欣然前往VirtuaReal总部的她成功入选. 但这位17岁的少女侦探并不知道她入选的原因究竟是什么——绝非是因为那拿来骗鬼的『观察敏锐』『细致入微』『能轻易带领别人找到正确的通路』，但她那连拐角旁的猫都找不到的洞察力.....却在打大家来找茬里独树一帜. 希望这位开朗外向的少女，能带着她身边人走出心灵的阴角吧.
