He does various jobs all with different scenarios, very enjoyable ways he uses his sfx skills to save the day, with the help of Kanazuki. Where it be exposing a scandal, disguising celebrities, to saving lives. He always wears a glove on his right hand, suggesting he has something to hide, if you read it, you'll find ...
