... yeah.

The fact that she thought to do it at all is pretty impressive on its own.

[frilly]

She gave us such a good clue and I didn't understand it until after the trial was completely over...

[bakaomi]

None of us did.

Guy did a really good job of hiding it until Luke outed him.

[frilly]

That's true, but...

[ she shakes her head. ]

Everyone works so hard, and we still don't figure things out. I always think everyone is doing such a good job, and then...

[bakaomi]

...

We're doing our best for the current circumstances. Despite everything, I think we actually got less distracted than usual.

[frilly]

[ she does brighten a little bit at that ]

Yu pushed through his curse really good, and Ogou-san didn't fight as much as usual. I guess if nothing else, I'm proud of that.

[bakaomi]

At this point, we need to just abandon the idea that we'll do everything smoothly. It's not possible and people are too focused on it, so we get too angry at each other when we mess up even slightly.

[frilly]

... You're right. It's not good to fuss and get mad over every little mistake. It isn't like we're all real detectives... [ haha.......... ]

But I understand why it happens - everyone is worked up because they care a lot.

[bakaomi]

[ can't believe madoka just accidentally insulted him ]

... especially in a case like this. They're all young and were friends with a lot of people.

[frilly]

[ she's doing her best ]

And the further along we get, the better we knew the people getting hurt.

[bakaomi]

... and there's less options for people to kill, so the chances of people you know dying goes up.

[frilly]

Right...

[ it was almost an uplifting conversation. ]

Um... Have you eaten? We just spent all day running around.

[bakaomi]

Huh?

[ he has to think about it ]

No.

[frilly]

I was thinking of making something for Nonon-san to eat, since she's... Busy keeping guard. And maybe Luke-kun, too.

[ that's a vague way of offering but okay ]

[bakaomi]

You should probably go for something light for Luke.

[frilly]

[ she nods ]

Yeah, I will.

But, um, what I mean is... Would you like some too?

[bakaomi]

Oh.

...

[frilly]

It's okay if not! I just thought - since I'm already cooking for multiple people anyway...!

[bakaomi]

...

What are you making?

[frilly]

I thought something like rice and vegetables would be healthy and easy to eat. And maybe some side dishes, like tamagoyaki...

Kind of like comfort food.

[bakaomi]

[ he just looks at her. ]

I'll help.

[frilly]

[ ????!!! ]

[bakaomi]

I want to do something for them.

[ he doesn't mean he wants to. hang out with her. ]

[frilly]

Right.

[ remembers a time when she would have teased him about not being honest, but. now she just believes him. ]

It's already getting late, so we should do it now.

[bakaomi]

Mm.

You don't have to mention my involvement.
