Characters
- Aoi Mashiro (真城 葵, Mashiro Aoi)

- Aoi is in her second year of high school and has moved from Omiya in Saitama to Kyoto, which caused a strained relationship with her friends back at home, and began working part-time at an antiques shop, Kura.

- Kiyotaka is a 22-year-old graduate student at Kyoto University and an apprentice at his family's antique shop, Kura. He is handsome and seems very gentle, but he is strict with himself and those around him. His nickname "Holmes", while a pun off his surname, also stems from his amazing deduction skills, as shown when he is able to discern a fake antique from a con artist.
- Akihito Kajiwara (梶原 秋人, Kajiwara Akihito)
- Voiced by: Ryohei Kimura[3]
- A novice actor. He is very handsome, and because of the light color of his hair, has an aura like a half-Japanese person. His father is a famous author.

| 1 | "Holmes and Zen Master Hakuin" Transcription: "Hōmuzu to Hakuin zenji" (Japanese: ホームズと白隠禅師) | July 9, 2018 | |
| Two weeks after she started working at Kura, an antiques shop, Mashiro Aoi is happily settled in her new job. The store is owned by Yagashira Seiji, who is often out traveling the world, and his son Seiji is an author who manages it, but is more of an author. Seiji's grandson Kiyotaka, often nicknamed Holmes, a young antiques' appraiser, runs the actual store. After Seiji leaves to talk with his editor, a man comes in and attempts to pass off a counterfeit ancient Kizeto tea bowl, but Kiyotaka sees through it and denounces him, and he flees the shop. Afterwards, Kiyotaka and Aoi take a break. Aoi remembers when she first came, having stolen two hanging scrolls from her grandfather to have appraised for money. The scrolls were painted by Zen Master Hakuin and are both genuine, worth a lot of money. The second has such a rare picture, that of a baby, he deems it priceless. Kiyotaka is impressed she managed to pick the two most valuable pieces out of an attic full of various antiques and junk. Aoi admits she wants to buy a ticket to go back to Saitama. She moved to Kyoto six months ago, leaving behind her boyfriend and best friend. Last month her boyfriend broke up with her to start dating her best friend and she wants to tell them off. Kiyotaka tells her about the scroll of the baby and she realizes selling off such a treasure just to scold her friends is wrong. He offers her a job at Kura so she can earn the money for the ticket. Back in the present, a man angrily smashes the counterfeit tea bowl he made for the conman, promising to remember Kiyotaka's name. | |||
| 2 | "In Days of Aoi" Transcription: "Aoi no koro ni" (Japanese: 葵の頃に) | July 16, 2018 | |
| Miyashita Saori is chosen to be the yearly Saio-dai, "Queen" of the local Aoi Festival, a high honor. Kura's Owner brings Mrs. Miyashita and her daughters Saori and Kaori, who is a schoolmate of Aoi's, to the shop. Saori has found threatening letters in her bag telling her to quit and Owner thinks Kiyotaka can help. It's assumed a pair of girls, former friends of hers, are behind it. Kiyotaka goes to a gallery showing off the flower arrangements of their class, seeing two pieces from Saori, but they are very different. He meets the girls in question, Yuko and Keiko, at the gallery. Kiyotaka leaves to answer his phone, but it turns out to be a ruse as he believes the girls will speak more freely to Aoi, which happens. They reveal they are jealous of Saori, but with her family business on the decline and the expense of being the Saoi-dai, they're sure it'll ruin them. After hearing this, Kiyotaka arranges to meet with the Miyashita women with the answer. He accounts one letter to Kaori - she is conscious about how much money the role will cost the struggling family business and became worried. Kaori admits she hoped the letter would give her parents a reason to stop but when she learned the publicity would make up for the cost, decided not to go through with it. However, Saori put the first letter and a second she made herself in her bag. He points out the different flower arrangements, having realized from the styles one was made by Kaori, which also let him determine the letters were made by two people. Saori hoped the letters would make Yuko and Keiko worry about her and maybe they could go back to being friends. Kaori tells Saori to stop worrying about them and be such an amazing Saoi-dai they'll brag they used to be friends. Saori goes ahead as the Saio-dai and Aoi and Kaori become friends. | |||
| 3 | "The Case of the Mt. Kurama Estate Inheritance" Transcription: "Kurama sansō ihin jiken-bo" (Japanese: 鞍馬山荘遺品事件簿) | July 23, 2018 | |
| A hike of Kiyotaka and Aoi's to Mt. Kurama turns into a visit to the Kajiwara estate at the request of Kiyotaka's father. Mr. Kajiwara passed away a few months ago and they are requesting Kiyotaka's help. They enjoy the day and stop at a restaurant, Aoi in a good mood. Kiyotaka admits he lost his girlfriend when he was her age as he wouldn't have sex with her until they were in college and she left him for another man. After they eat they are escorted to the estate by Kurashina, Kajiwara's secretary. There, they meet his widow Ayako and three sons: Fuyuki, Akihito, and Haruhiko, the youngest. Akihito is a rising actor and dismissive of Kiyotaka's abilities. Kurashina explains he was given two wills, the first a division of assets, the second a request he open three months after his death. It had instructions to a safe and orders to split three hanging scrolls between the sons. The scrolls were fakes, but were also burned by one of the five, though they don't know who. Kiyotaka learns Akihito was given the lion's share of the inheritance and Ayako was given an aquamarine ring. By having sons describe the scrolls, Kiyotaka names them and says each had a message the father left for them. Fuyuki's was "Kiyomori Calls Back The Sun" was an expression of Kiyomori's power, so he believes his father was telling Fuyuki to aim for great heights, certain he could succeed. Akihito's was "Dragon Flying Over Mt. Fuji," an expression of the artist's ambition and a message that if Akihito is serious about his art he should aim high and wanted him to succeed. When he gets to Haruhiko's, Ayako says she burned them because she got such a small share but wouldn't have done so if she knew there was such messages. Done, Kiyotaka and Aoi are escorted out by Fuyuki and Akihito, who ask about their brother's painting. Kiyotaka reluctantly tells them it's based on the "Tadamori's Lantern" tale. Tadamori went to slay an oni but realized it was only a monk and the emperor thanked him for clearing it up by giving him a present, which, rumor went, was the emperor's beloved, and Tadamori's son was born shortly afterwards. Kurashina once saved Kajiwara and developed feelings for Ayako, so the message was he knew of the affair and that Haruhiko was the resulting child, so Ayako burned the scrolls to hide this. The second will was dated for shortly after Haruhiko's 20th birthday, so Kiyotaka believes he meant to tell him when he came of age, but he doesn't think Kajiwara resented them. Aquamarine stands for freedom, so his message was that he wanted his wife to live a life freely after his death, with Kurashina if they wish. The brothers thank him and promise to tell their family about this. Later, Kiyotaka says he realized Haruhiko was Kurashina's when he first saw him as they had the same-shaped ears, which meant they were related. | |||

Notes
- All English titles are taken from Crunchyroll.
gollark: No, PotatOS is real.
gollark: Seems unlikely.
gollark: PotatOS does, however, run its own BIOS to run user code more safely (though within the confines of the usual BIOS) and crash the actual BIOS's parallel-ing to run Polychoron on top.
gollark: Doesn't count, won't work ingame.
gollark: .. no?
