「Yes」
「Then,
Detective JK-san, we'll take a break」
「Thank
you for your hard work!」
Claudia
responds smilingly to the director's order.
She
was dressed in a long parka and spats. And a baseball cap.
Next
to her, Jolanda, dressed in jeans and a white tank top, stood close to her.
Her
left hand, which was wrapped in bandages, looked painful, but Jolanda's gaze
was sharp.
Since
she reacts quickly to anything that moves and glares at us, many of the Assistant
Directors had been caught in her gaze and were freaking out (※Some were panting).
（Of
course, she'd be wary. She's been losing a lot...）
Claudia
was almost kidnapped by a devil, and Jolanda was defeated by Hotta. The two
even said that they would hide themselves for a while after revealing Fumio's
true identity.
The
fact that they have completely decided that their goal is not to defeat the
devil but to raise the popularity of "Detective JK" is really pure or
rather worldly...
It had
been a week since I guided the two members of Detective JK to Tokyo.
Now it
was the morning of the day of the show.
We are
in the middle of rehearsing the second half of the program, the Detective JK
part.
However,
only the two members of Detective JK were present. The other cast members were
rehearsing in the afternoon.
In
order not to kill the live reactions of the performers, only their rehearsal is
held separately from the others.
I was
watching the rehearsal, leaning against the wall.
Although
I had come all the way to Tokyo on an early night, and had shown up at the
rehearsal first thing in the morning, it was not for any particular purpose. I
just felt something. In fact, all the preparations are almost complete.
Through
President KKO, Chihiro Kijima, I was able to get the TV station to approve the
program a long time ago.
Moreover,
Fujiwara Seigo-shi has promised to sponsor the program on the condition that
Aoi Umidori will be used as a commentator.
The sponsorship
includes a large investment. On top of that, it was a sensational program that
would expose the real culprit in the mysterious disappearance case.
The director
jumped at the idea like hungry carp, and the plan progressed at a brisk pace.
On the
premise of using Detective JK to eliminate Fumio Kijima's suspicions, all
preparations were in order.
However...
（It's
just a matter of how the demon nobles will react...）
During
the past week, there has been no noticeable movement on the side of the demon
nobles that could be detected.
In
fact, Teruya's sister's whereabouts are unknown, and the movements of the
devil doll are all based on the information provided by Miss Bowel via Lili.
Today's
schedule of the devil doll is to go to Tokyo. The purpose of the trip is to
watch the shooting of a commercial for a Fujiwara group company.
The
fact that she sent another errand to Miss Bowel and did not allow her to go
with her suggests that something is being planned.
While
I was thinking about this, Claudia came running towards me, leaving Jolanda
behind, who was having a difficult conversation with the raccoon-faced
temporary manager.
「The
lighting, it's so hot…」
She
took off her cap and wiped the sweat from her forehead leaving a patch of black
stuff stuck to her temple. Then, she continued to speak.

「Shiratori,
how was it?」
「It's
hard to say how it was. If I had to say, I'd say you should have acted a little
more dramatic」
I say
back, and she twists her head.
「Overreacting...
doesn't that smell fishy?」
「The
existence of a detective JK already smells fishy to me」
「Oh...
you're really saying it. And I'm annoyed that you're not lying. By the way, why
Tachioka didn't show up? Didn’t he say, "Shiratori-chan's madly in love
with me, so I will be in Tokyo"?」
「...You
know, I hate that creepy long hair. I hope he realizes that Kizuna is the one
who's making him look good」
「Oh...
that's a slap in the face」
Claudia
smiled bitterly.
In
fact, until about three days ago, Tachioka had been ready to visit the studio.
But last night, he suddenly said, "I'm not coming. I'll watch it on
TV".
The
reason seems to be that Kizuna had something to do that day and could not come and
he said he felt uneasy about going out alone.
Kizuna
told me about this a long time ago.
Ever
since the Confinement King gave him a bad time, he has been unusually scared of
going out alone.
Since
I know how he came to be in such a situation, I can't pity him at all, but
still, I can't help feeling some pity for him.
According
to Kizuna, Tachioka has a girlfriend who is a childhood friend of his, but she
used to visit him frequently and worry about him when he was a shut-in, but
recently she has stopped visiting him, which is really sad.
While
I was thinking about this, Claudia suddenly clapped her hands.
「By
the way, did you see? That machine! It's amazing. As expected of Japan's
scientific power! The best in the worlddddd! Right!」
While
imitating a German officer in a manga, Claudia pointed to a rectangular box
with red and blue lamps on the side of the stage set. (*Note: it's the JoJo
character Rudol von Stroheim)
It is
a device that visualizes the authenticity of Claudia's brainwaves by lighting
up the lamps.
The
device was actually used in the rehearsal, and from Claudia's reaction, there
was no discrepancy between what she read as true or false and the color of the
lamp that lit up.
「It's
even more fishy」
「That's
not true! It was accurate. I heard that they borrowed a prototype from some
university professor. This is amazing!」
Claudia
protested against my cold reaction.
Of
course, I am not lying about my suspicious thoughts. But I knew the source of
the device.
It was
brought in by the entertainment company KKO.
In
fact, I heard that it was not made by a university professor but by a fallen
angel of Lili.
Maybe
if the lid was opened, it wouldn't be a machine, but a mysterious substance
like dark matter inside.
「We'll
resume then! Detective JK-san, please stand by」
「Yes!
See you later, Shiratori」
Claudia
waved and ran towards the stage set. I watched her back and quietly walked out
of the studio.
The
purpose was to reconfirm the positions of various things.
And as
I walked past the next studio, I couldn't help but frown at the sign posted
there.
『All
day use for FJ Beverage commercial shooting』
Apparently,
the studio next door was the site of the Fujiwara Group's commercial shooting
where the devil doll was headed.
Of
course, it couldn't be a coincidence.

「Hahaha!
I've got a feeling that it might be better if I just stay like this..」
「You
mean no one can see you?」
「Yes,
as long as Fu~min can see me, I'm fine with the rest. Then we can spend all the
time making out」
Fujiwara-san
smiles happily as she sits on my lap.
Currently,
we are on the bullet train to Tokyo taking the green car that Chihiro had arranged for us.
Fujiwara-san
is wearing a lemon yellow bikini bra and denim hot pants in California girl
style, as if she enjoyed being in a swimsuit.
Although
there is no need for her to sit on my lap since the green car was empty in the morning and there is no one sitting
next to me, she doesn’t seem to want to go anywhere.
（In a
way, wearing a tight bikini on her poor breasts is a crime...）
Looking
down at her breasts over her shoulder from behind. There is hardly any
cleavage.
I have
to admit that bikinis with big breast are good, but bikinis with poor breast is
a different genre.
This
is a very good thing.
While
I was paying attention to my thing, which was about to become hard,
Fujiwara-san's voice suddenly can be heard.
「Anyway,
Fu~min... are you sure about this? Isn't there something suspicious about it?」
「It's
okay, they said they will clear my suspicions, and they will pay me」
「Well
then, after the shooting, let's stay over and go to a theme park in Chiba
together!」
「...I
don't feel like it. Think about it. Fujiwara-san is invisible to other people,
so you can imagine how I'll look like if we go to a theme park」
「Oh...
I see... I guess you're right」
To
tell you the truth, I had a hard time deciding whether or not to take
Fujiwara-san with me. If I left her behind, I could go back to Tokyo in an
instant.
But
it's not impossible that she might be attacked while I'm gone, and if I'm
lucky, I might be able to destroy the devil doll today and regain her presence.
Fujiwara-san,
recently has been hanging around in front of Mom and Dad in her swimsuit, taking advantage of her
invisibility.
It
would be a disaster if Fujiwara-san wandered around the house in a swimsuit,
thinking she was invisible, at the time she regained her existence. Thinking of
that, I can't leave her at home.
（Though,
If I took her with me, there would be no problem...）
