Two chapters + one additional chapters...
Thanks Nico for the support...
「It's
not safe for a woman to walk alone, I'll take you home」
While
he saying this, I shook off Tachioka's hand that was holding my shoulder who was
being so friendly, and quickly left the bowling alley.
（It
must be tough for Kizuna to have a brother
like that...）
In
fact, as soon as I went out, I received an apology message from Kizuna on my
phone.
She
really is a good sister.
I'd heard from the devil Lili that Tachioka had already been castrated, but based on how he was acting, I doubted that.
Of course, in order to make the best use of him, I conducted my own research as well as used Lili's information.
Masahiro
Tachioka, Virgo, type B.
His
grades are below average, and he is a midfielder in the soccer club.
He's already decided to repeat the year, and if he doesn't drop out, he'll be my classmate the following year.
He has a girlfriend whom he has known since childhood, but he's never kept in touch with her since his suspension. However, I have heard unconfirmed rumors that his girlfriend has been cuckolded by another man.
The
source of the last unconfirmed information was from Kizuna.
She
spilled it out.
She
only said that it might be true, but to my eyes, she seemed to be convinced of
it.
（Castrated,
manipulated, her girlfriend cuckolded, and sad clown）
Anyway,
now that the connection with Detective JK is complete, that man is no longer of
any use to me.
Making contact with Detective JK went smoothly.
And I was able to direct the plot just where I wanted it to go.
I
don't know where they got the basis, but when Detective JK's sister said that
Fujiwara-senpai was the devil and the mastermind behind the kidnapping case, I
was a bit panicked.
I was
prepared to revise the plot, but defeating the devil in secret would not raise
the public's opinion for them. And thanks to Detective JK's challenge, I
was able to push them into the kill zone more naturally.
The
kill zone.
In
other words, my proposal is...
『A
special TV program called "Detective JK VS Confinement King"』
On
live national television, Detective JK would pursue Fumio Kijima as the true
culprit in the case of the "Mysterious Disappearance".
「Even if you call him the devil, it's a lie, so you can treat Fumio Kijima as if he were a mastermind. The program will look more dramatic if we give him an exaggerated name, right? "Confinement King," for example」
「Haha!
I like that!」
Detective
JK's sister
took a big bite out of my suggestion. However, the detective JK's sister
gave me a suspicious look.
「It's interesting, but Is a TV special really possible?」
「Don't
worry. Just leave all the arrangements to me」
I
don't need to prove this statement.
After
all, Detective JK's sister knows that it's not a lie.
Anyway,
I'm glad that Detective JK's sister is a person of very normal intelligence.
If she's anything like Takasago, she'll say something unexpected and contrary to my prediction.
Her
intelligence is normal. She has a strong desire for self-expression and is
sociable in her own way, but basically looks down on people other than herself.
That is her character profile.

And
with the video.
It is
not very difficult to identify her character and the conditions for triggering
her power of detecting lies by watching the process of chasing down the
scammers in the video and their interactions.
People
with a strong desire for self-expression are always like that.
In an
attempt to show their strength, they show off the cards they have.
Isn't
that great? I have a straight flush in my hand.
So,
just give them a royal straight flush, and that's done.
A
cheat is not a cheat if it's not exposed.
Also, there
is only one focus in this contact.
To get
past the detective JK's sister's ability to detect lies and make her
think I'm on their side.
As
predicted, the detective JK's sister asked me this question.
『Are
you a pawn of the devil?』
『Are
you sure you want to help us? Are you sure you're not trying to trick us?』
Both
questions are to see if I'm friend or foe.
As for
the first question, the answer is YES, although I don't like being called a
pawn.
As for the latter question, I have no intention of cooperating, only of tricking them. So the answer is NO.
But at
this time, I said NO to the first and YES to the second.
In
other words, I lied, but I was able to convince Detective JK's sister
that I was telling the truth.
Here
lies the trick.
Well,
I think the ballpoint pen was too deliberate, but I could not think of any
other way to deceive her.
But
these two questions were their last line of defense.
For
her and her sister, their faith in their abilities is absolute, which is
why they are willing to cooperate with me. After all, once they accept,
"I'm not trying to trick you" as the truth, their trust on me will be
solid.
And
now, the castle gates will be breached, and they will become losers who only
wait for the castle to fall.
After
that, I either just nodded my head to any question that might be a lie, or told
Tachioka the story beforehand and arranged for him to tell it to them.
The
happy-go-lucky[1] Tachioka was very useful. As long as he could get
into the conversation, he would interrupt the conversation on his own.
As a
result, he confidently proceeded with the story, assuming my lie to be the
truth.
「Hmm...
how you escaped the ability to discern lies, Devi, I didn't know」
Suddenly,
such a voice rained down from above her head, revealing a red-haired devil.
Apparently,
she had been watching the exchange between me and Detective JK.
Peeping
Tom is really a bad taste.
「...I
won't tell you. But if you've heard the whole story, then you'd better talk
fast. I can ask you to make the rest of the arrangements, right?」
「No
problem, Devi. So, what are you gonna do on the day of the show, Devi?」
「...I
guess. I think I'll go into the TV station as a member of Detective JK」
「Ha-ha,
well, that's interesting, Devi」
Apparently, she understood what I was trying to say.
I
really don't like her.
Honestly,
I hate this devil.
After
all, I don't know what she's up to, and I feel like she's going to act like
she's on my side and then stab me in the back.
She speaks to me as if she knows everything about my movements, but I can't read her thought routine, as if devils and humans have different synapses.
It is
very troublesome.
However,
I believe that Fumio Kijima is the best material.
I can
say that I love him.
And I
want to see how far I can push him because it's a game worth challenging.
World
domination? I suppose he could do as much as I wanted.
In
extreme cases, just confined the world leaders of 196 countries and brainwash
them.
But
that's no fun.
I'm
going to enjoy this guy Fumio Kijima in my own way.
If
this devil wants to use Fumio Kijima and consume him, then eventually I will
have to deal with her.
I will
protect Fumio Kijima for my own sake.
