**Romi Holmes** (ロミ・ホームズ, *Romi Hōmuzu*) is the mother of Ron Kamonohashi, the wife of Eliot Moriarty, and a fifth-generation descendant of Sherlock Holmes.

As far as Ron knows, Romi is uninterested in detective work.According to Mylo Moriarty, Romi used to be a detective, though she has since quit and is now, as far as Ron knows, uninterested in detective work.

## Personality and traits

Ron Kamonohashi describes Romi as "a bit of an oddball" and says that they have a lot in common, but also a lot of differences. For example, while she does not like brown sugar and never gets angry, Romi shares her son's habit of using false names. She also seems to be rather carefree, being a "strong proponent of a *laissez-faire* approach."

## Biography

### History

Romi attended BLUE. There, she met and became friends with Aimee Emmerich and Kiku.

She eventually met Eliot Moriarty who, at that point, was very conflicted about his life because he grew up believing that he had to dedicate himself to crime even if it pained him to see people suffer. Romi somehow made him realize that he could change his fate and choose his own way in life.

Allegedly, before their son's birth, Eliot died of an illness, and Romi had to raise Ron on her own. In reality, Eliot was still alive and involved in his son's life when Ron was a child. He was murdered by the M. Family after ruining one of their plans 17 years ago.

After her father died, Romi managed the Maison du Kamonohashi for a few years. When Ron was expelled from BLUE five years ago, she gave him the keys and made him the apartment building's manager. Since then, Romi has been making fifty trips around the world.

### Tragic Cruise Serial Murders Case

Following the events on the *Precious Dolphin*, Romi gives Elmer Stingray a letter to relay to Ron. She explains in it that Elmer has been working for the Holmes family since he was young, and she sent Elmer to Japan when he heard that Ron was targeted and wanted to help. Romi also scolds Ron for his "dumb" actions aboard the ship and closes her letter expressing her hope that she and Ron will meet again before one of their funerals.

## Relationships

### Ron Kamonohashi

Ron is Romi's son. Her odd nature can even get the better of him.

### Aimee Emmerich

Aimee is an old friend of Romi and Eliot's. Romi, in particular, has known her since they went to BLUE together.

### Elmer Stingray

Elmer is her assistant. Because Romi has known him since he was little, she also considers him her adoptive son.

### Kiku

Like with Aimee, Romi befriended Kiku during their time at BLUE. Kiku set himself to look after her son, but Romi always tells him not to bother and leave him be.
