A gentle question: About this sentence, 'And it seems Holmes is pronounced as 'Olmes' in French tongue.' What does it mean? Every person pronounced the 'Holmes' name with the 'H', also Riko who in some parts of the volume speaks French, so why Kinji has to say something like this?-Raffreddato

Thank you Skies.


Remember to put your signature tag at the end. That aside, it's likely simple exposition from the author that's making a distinction between the English pronunciation of Holmes (hard "h") and 'Olmes (silent "h"). The reasons an author would do this are many but in this situation it's likely just exposition on Riko's pronunciation, emphasizing her French lineage. --Skies (talk) 09:49, 2 February 2013 (CST)
