It is said that these three rings were passed down from generation to generation to their best students.

In modern Japan, there is a boy named Shinra Sasaki who has these three rings. He alone guards his ‘Wunderkammer’ which is in the middle of the forest. In a case that occurred at Meiyuu High School, Shinra helped Tatsuki Nanase solve the case. This Meiyuu High School student is the granddaughter of the chairman of the foundation at the school. In return, Shinra was given the opportunity to go to school there. Shinra also helps police inspector Takeshi Kujirazaki solve complicated cases. Uniquely, Shinra always asks for unique and rare items found from the cases he solves, like his motto “to see more, you have to pay…”
