### History

Eleven years ago, Mii's grandfather chose to hide Shepherd Feier in the mountains by Yada Village. The villagers have been keeping his presence a secret and bringing him supplies ever since.

### Yadagami-sama Murders Case

The day Spitz Feier comes to Yada Village again to search for his brother—this time with Ron Kamonohashi and Totomaru Isshiki—, Mii brings food in an insulated bag for Shepherd Feier to the Yadagami Shrine. When she hears people nearby, she runs away.

Later, Mii goes to her grandfather's, the mayor's, house. There, she asks Spitz why he is here. He greets her and introduces her to Ron and Totomaru before he says that they will be staying at the mayor's house tonight. Mii tells them to make themselves comfortable then.

That evening, Mii and her grandfather eat dinner on their own while Spitz, Totomaru, and Ron eat theirs in their room. At some point, they run out of their room, past the mayor and Mii, and out of the house and to the hut to check on the surveyor, but they do not find him there.

The next morning, the surveyor's corpse is found in the waterfall basin outside the village. Around his neck are marks that look like a snake's scales. Toto, Ron, and Spitz investigate the death alongside the local police. Mii later joins them and her grandfather in the basin. She demands to know why her grandfather is not stopping the others from coming here; after all, only villagers are allowed near the waterfall.

Spitz says that he did not know that as he came to the waterfall every time he visited. The mayor tells him that they gave him special permission because of Shepherd. He adds that this is an exception too because somebody died before he explains to Mii that Spitz has become a detective and that Totomaru is a detective from Tokyo. Mii asks who Ron is then, and Spitz replies that he is his hobby buddy; they collect rare wrapping paper together.

Afterward, Ron asks Mii what she was doing by the waterfall yesterday. She and the mayor lead them up to the shrine, and she says that she was making an offering there for Yadagami-sama. Ron is surprised that they really seem to believe in the deity which upsets the mayor and Mii. They defend Yadagami-sama, and the mayor says that the god's punishment of the surveyor is proof of its existence. A group of angered villagers arrive to defend the god as well, and Ron, Spitz, and Totomaru leave the waterfall because of that.

Later that day, they gather everyone at the shrine, and Toto explains what happened: Not Yadagami-sama killed the surveyor—the mayor did.

The mayor took a picture scroll of Yadagami-sama from the shrine and attached it to a tatami mat in the hut. He stood the mat on end and held it in place with a string; one end of it was pinched in the door's frame, the other tied to a rock and then dangled out of the window. He made sure Toto, Ron, and Spitz would be in a room in his house from where they could see into the hut and spot the image. When they went to the hut and opened the door, the string was released and fell into the river, weighted down by the rock. The tatami mat fell down into place on the floor; that was the loud sound they heard. And the shrine was temporarily closed yesterday to hide the fact that a scroll was missing.

Toto, Spitz, and Ron deduced this because Ron dropped a bottle of brown sugar on that tatami mat last night. However, when they found it today, the bottle was not there where its stain was. This means that someone must have lifted the mat, and the bottle slid down it. They know it is the mayor because he made sure to have Ron, Spitz, and Totomaru in that specific room to get witnesses for his trick and because the mayor immediately spoke of Yadagami-sama when Spitz wondered who or what they could have seen in the hut last night; he did not even consider the surveyor although their conversation rather pointed to him than to the deity. Ron adds that the mayor used rope from the shrine to strangle the surveyor before pushing him into the basin. The rope's placement looks different from yesterday; therefore, someone must have moved it.

The mayor admits to the crime, and Mii is shocked by his confession. Her grandfather says that he killed the surveyor because he hated him and wanted to stop the dam construction. Totomaru challenges his words, asking if this is truly the sole reason, but before the mayor can reply, Ron's Kill on Sight ability is triggered. He orders the mayor to fall into the waterfall, and the mayor, dazed, complies. Totomaru manages to stop him on time, but then, the ground under them crumbles. Totomaru holds onto the edge and the mayor to prevent them from falling. Someone throws a rope to them, and Mii, Spitz, and Ron pull them up.

The mayor is arrested. He tells Mii to please find happiness before the police takes him away. Mii then apologizes to the villagers for the trouble, but they assure her not to worry about it.

Afterward, Mii, Spitz, Toto, and Ron return to the mayor's house. There, Ron calls out Shepherd who has been hiding behind the house. He shows himself and wants to know how they found out about him. Totomaru, on Ron's behalf, tells him about Muroi's "Yadagami-sama" story, Mii's bag by the waterfall, and her odd reaction when she met Spitz afterward.

Shepherd is impressed and informs them that he has been hiding in the mountains because he became a target of a "certain" organization eleven years ago, though he refuses to name the organization. He says the mayor has been helping him because it was his idea to use the legend of Yadagami-sama's powers to stop the dam construction plans fifteen years ago. Shepherd also reveals that the mayor killed the surveyor because of him. The surveyor realized that the mayor was hiding Shepherd for a reason and extorted money from him to keep the secret. He eventually escalated his intimidation and threatened to reveal the whereabouts of Shepherd; this drove the mayor to kill the surveyor. Mii is aghast to hear all this; her grandfather never told her anything.

Because he does not want to live at the expense of other people's happiness, Shepherd asks Totomaru to arrest him for instigating the heavy equipment theft fifteen years ago. Mii and Spitz protest, but Shepherd holds firm. Then, Ron challenges Shepherd's words: The mayor may not have been protecting him but his granddaughter's feelings for Shepherd.

Shepherd is surprised to hear that and asks Mii if she really feels that way; she wordlessly and tearfully confirms it. Ron and Toto then leave Mii, Shepherd, and Spitz alone.
