KONkonkonkonkonkonkon! My my, look at you! All your neurons firing today I guess! You finally picked up on the hints I've been laying down for- what, hours now?! Well well, I shouldn't be surprised! A band of dimwits this easy to kill was bound to have some problems figuring things out without a little BOOST. [snickers] No pun intended, of course. Konkonkonkonkon! Now now, no need to get upset! Allow me to dumb things down for you, oni boy. You're standing the presence of INSURMOUNTABLE GREATNESS! The fox's call to a midnight moon. The streak of white in a starless & desolate sky. THE PHANTOM THIEF OF NAGOYA! Aw, Are you sad? Hah! Not what you expected, right? Your first time meeting a true and honest supervillain, is it? Hah! I can understand why you'd be intimidated. Kazutoshi was an unfortunate sacrifice to make, I guess. It would have been very interesting to watch him figure this one out, but he was a natural bump in the road when it came to taking on my true nemesis. My my, to think I would joke about something like this?! A rivalry on this scale is nothing to joke about! Do you know how long she- How long Tsuno- Grhgh- tch- Do you have any idea how long she's been thwarting me?! “Oh, Okazaki, you're from Nagoya too?!” Dgh- acting like she doesn't even- wh- t- We're nemeses! How could she even-?! Th-The nerve of her! The whole time we've been in here, she's acted like I don't even exist, and then- I-I'm completely awakened! KONkonkonkonkon! Oh, Nishino, you have no idea. You should've seen how angry she was! She'd never looked at me that way before! She completely loathed me! Like a nemesis is supposed to! Like- Like she's supposed to! Like she's always been meant to! And all I had to do was rough Wada up a little?! [laughs] Who cares?! That's child's play for The Phantom Thief of Nagoya! KONkonkonkonkonkonkon! Stealing~? Konkonkonkonkon! I'm amazed it took you this long to figure that out! Wh-Why? You mad? You want your cigar box back? Then maybe guard your stuff a little better, DUNK-ASS! Everyone's complaining about their stuff getting stolen when this is some of the simplest, easiest, most beginner-level stealing I've ever had to do! Are- Are you serious?! It's- It's tragic! You're tragic! I'm inspired is what I am! Do you know what kind of an opportunity I was presented with here?! Locked in a game of murder and betrayal with my lifelong nemesis?! My rival?! Her fate was sealed the second she decided to act like she had no clue who I was! I prefer the term opportunistic! Eloquent! Handsome! Thrilling! Crafty! Hm. Fancy? Classy, maybe! Fictional's a stretch. We're not fiction, are we? Reality's very real! And our rivalry? Now that. That was very real. Died for nothing! That's about right! It was an easy shot and my quickest way to get to Manami! ♡ Died for LOVE! ♡ Or passion? Or loathing. Who can really say? She reached the natural end of her life! A rivalry so TORRID can only last for so long until someone ends up hurt! Hm, I guess I'm next, no? No? HALT! I have no interest in sitting through another boring, loathsome, six-page rant about how everyone died or what my motivations were or any of that trash! If we must recap the case, I'm doing it myself! With flair! When Harada died, it was a big eye-opener for me. Life is short, you know? Which gave me an idea. Kamimura's short too! Which would make him pretty easy to overpower! So when the temperature started dropping and it became clear that someone had to die, I thought: Hey, now's my chance to end a long and tumultuous character arc! Here's my chance to purge Nagoya of all that is good and kind! Here's my chance to capture a win for pure, true, righteous villainy! So I started planning. Wada helped me out a bunch by telling me about that 3D printer. I've got one at home that's pretty similar, so I'm pretty handy with the thing. They're excellent tools for prop crafting. When he told me we had one, I just knew I had to incorporate it somehow, and what better way
DEAR GOD 😭😭 The Okazaki is infiltrating
