A nun
with a talent for cards and mysteries
This manga,
adapted by Yo Asami from the original novel by Natsu
Hyūga (known for The Apothecary Diaries), presents a story
starring Chloe, a young woman who appears to be a demure novice in
a country church. However, during the nights he disguises himself to bet
on card games and win large sums of money thanks to his mental acuity
and trained gaze.
One day,
his double life is compromised when Herald, a handsome holy knight
from the capital, appears and seeks his help to solve a murder that occurred
