During the National High School Cultural Festival ceremony, Yoshiyuki Shimizu - the current Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and a literary giant - was fatally stabbed by a man who rushed out from backstage. The arrested suspect, 37-year-old Akatsuki Nagase, began publishing his memoirs in a weekly magazine following his arrest. His writings revealed a deep-seated grudge against "the World Philanthropic Federation of Light," (commonly known as The Church of Light), a new religious organization with which Shimizu was allegedly deeply involved. What was Nagase's true motive lurking in the darkness?

its fiction within fiction
