Melos, Who Shouldn't Be Running When Caught Up in a Murder Case

A work by Norio Gojo An homage to Osamu Dazai's "Run, Melos!" that forcibly incorporates a murder case to make it a mystery. 【Melos, grumbling all the way, deduced in order to save his best friend who had taken his place.】 Melos must travel to and from his hometown and the capital in three days to save his friend, Philostratus. However, on the eve of his sister's wedding, the groom's father is murdered. The scene is a locked-room mystery in a sheep pen, accessible only by him and his sister. Wanting to return to the capital quickly, Melos decides to solve this case in a hurry... Along the way, he gets caught up in numerous murder cases, muttering his way through deductions. Run, Melos! Go, Melos!! Will you really make it in time like this!? And the shocking truth awaiting him in the capital! A masterpiece that I want to reread many times (≧∇≦)

It must be hectic having to do deductions on top of just running. I can feel Melos's struggle, and it doesn't feel like a stranger's problem.

It's famously easy to remember the characters' names, which is quite strange.

Just the title alone gives off a Kyo Shirodaira vibe...
