Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru.

Kimizuka Kimihiko is a crisis-magnet. From getting caught up in a crime scene to accidentally witnessing a drug deal, trouble seems to find him around every corner. So it is no surprise when his rather mundane flight suddenly enters a state of emergency with a dire need of a detective onboard. Unfortunately, his attempt at avoiding trouble is foiled by a beautiful girl with silver hair who goes by the codename Siesta. Declaring herself a detective, she unceremoniously drags Kimizuka into the case as her assistant.

That incident spelled the beginning of an adventure around the globe that went beyond his wildest imagination. Putting their lives on the line, the two took down criminal organizations, prevented disasters, and saved thousands. But the curtain closed to their epic journey with Siesta's untimely death three years later.

Resolving to live an ordinary high school life this time, Kimizuka spends a year maintaining a low profile. However, as fate would have it, a girl with an uncanny resemblance to Siesta comes crashing into his life, threatening to throw his peaceful days into disarray.

She left herself to go through the flow of events in the story. At the end of that, she went back in time to become sixteen year old Rosalette again. She thought that standing by was what she did wrong, so she raised her younger sibling finely, but she died from an outside force and returned as Rosalette once more. She changed her direction. She indulged in training herself instead of her brother. That didn’t seem to work either. She had learned magic but still returned, and she had lived all the way till her graduation, but still returned. Rosalette Roxburgh who is always returning to her sixteen year old self, is still looking for a way to die indefinitely.
