I could show them the item, depending on what it is.

[...]

What would you do?

[nonbelligerent]

One option is to be truthful. Explain to everyone why Shirasu is suspicious, using the functions of your role. That is, his true element and that he met with Kazuaki, on top of the original reasons.

Or rather, have someone else explain this. Someone who isn't easily traceable to you.

But that would mean making the details of your role public, as well as revealing to Hisoka that you're confiding in someone, which are major drawbacks. So I wouldn't say that's necessarily what I would do.

[foodbin]

And if I talk to him privately with a question like that, he could get suspicious and try to retaliate before the trial. I could bring other people when I talk to him to make sure I wasn't the only one witnessing what he said, but I think that would just make him more guarded. And either way, if I did that, I wouldn't have the item that can detect lies any more.

[Hm.]

Any other ideas?

[nonbelligerent]

[hmmmm.]

Perhaps we should consult with Axel after all.

[foodbin]

...Yeah, I'm starting to think that's a good idea.

[She sighs.]

At least - I'm starting to feel like we're almost there. Thanks for all your help with this. [A very tired thumbs up.] Let's get him, right?

[nonbelligerent]

We can do our best, at least.

[foodbin]

If it was him...

[Hm.]

Who do you think he was working with?

[nonbelligerent]

I'm not sure. It could be Four. In fact, the framing attempt may have been his doing all along, and their argument staged. The former is still possible even if Four is innocent, actually.

As for the others who matched her shoe size, I admit I can't see Lili and Valvatorez assisting without a good reason. North, I don't know.

[foodbin]

...I'd say Four and North are probably the most likely bets.

[Ugh.]

[nonbelligerent]

Unfortunately.

[foodbin]

It’s hard to imagine North choosing to work with him, though, or going along with Kazuaki as a victim.

[nonbelligerent]

I don't know her very well, I admit.

[you know who still doesn't know what an android is? this guy.]

[foodbin]

She told me she has a thing about cooperating with humans.

[nonbelligerent]

That would explain why she was curious about my not being human.

[foodbin]

Yeah. I'm not quite sure what she is, other than an asshole, but I know she does not like us for whatever reason.

[nonbelligerent]

Relations between humans and nonhumans can be complicated.

But I suppose I can now see why you're not fond of her.

[foodbin]

I don't care about the nonhuman thing. I care that she's a dick.

[nonbelligerent]

[he smiles wryly.]

She's always been relatively nice to me, so I'll take your word for it.

[foodbin]

I don't think anyone is capable of being mean to you. Even I was only freaked out for like, a few days after you told me all that stuff.

[nonbelligerent]

You flatter me. I assure you it's perfectly possible.

[foodbin]

[...]

Discounting Hisoka.

[nonbelligerent]

[he looks amused. (also, he thinks that emma and north are in some ways similar but he knows better than voice that thought.)]

Yes, even discounting Hisoka.

[foodbin]

Really? Who?

[nonbelligerent]

Oh, no one here. Well, Ookurikara does get annoyed with me at times, though.

[foodbin]

Well... Whoever it is, they’re probably full of shit.
