If the great gods are to be believed, there could still be another actor among us. I'm afraid the surprises won't end with this week.

... the problem is catching someone like that.

We only got Newt because of someone's power.

It won't be so easy the next time, either. The killer will know to avoid certain questions.

... I can't believe it took this long for someone to use the lie detection skill, actually.

It isn't so surprising. What the young man did was noble, but he had to out himself in the process. If this ability was used in the past, it would have been in private.

Yeah. Who knew Ray was such a martyr?

It won't come to that, I hope. No more juniors should fall for the sake of advancing our ambitions.

... I hope not.

He's very helpful.

[ with a rather troubled look, he nods. that's the problem. ]

He's a valuable participant. Because of that, he might be targeted someday.

... he's capable when it comes to defending himself, but he's also still twelve.

It isn't fair that someone so young has to do all this hard work. Young man, let's watch out for him together.

... I'll try.

He'd probably hit me, but sure.

Why would he hit you?

He'd probably think I'm making fun of him.

If you show your sincerity, he'd surely know that that isn't true.

...

That's kind of embarrassing.

[ of course. boys will be boys. ]

There's no need to push yourself on this. The young man must know you fairly well by now, right?

... I don't know about that.

It's more like Senri dragged us together so we're dealing with it.

Nito Senri has a lot of energy, doesn't he?

He's pretty exhausting to deal with.

Even so, you indulge him. He's fortunate to have you.

... well, he's my partner...

Were you two partners in your world?

Yeah. We were paired together in our school.

Does that mean you're also studying acting?
