"Seiji was exiled from the entertainment industry. you took her assets and used them to fund this plan." "Am I right?" "That's right." "That's why I endured getting into bed with that whore!"

"I'm the leader of these men!" "I planned it all!" "I was the one giving orders!" "The ones inside were all idiots who blindly did as I asked." "What are you... guys." "This is the only way I can think of to repay you." "Why?" "Are you telling me to live?" "Phew." "You have pretty devoted fans." "as long as the fans exist?" "keep it together!" "Are you okay?" "Does your butt hurt?" "Huh?" "What are you talking about?" "Arata!" "I love you!" "Your Highness!" "I need you!" "Hasuda Arata isn't a Facultas graduate." "He shouldn't have a Minimum." "Who's the one pulling the strings?" "Did you find anything out? the Minimum factor cannot be harvested from the brains of non-innate Minimum Holders." "That's the sharp inspector we all know and love. it is almost certain to have been committed but there was one irregularity." "The victim's brain was not removed."
