The plan of that cult must have taken a lot of planning and preparing. Such engrossing work...Only to be destroyed in not even a night.

If circumstances were different, perhaps people would feel pity for them. Even if the circumstances were different, Najimi would just say they had skill issues.

Bill:Coming back up for Mukae's satisfaction!

Mukae:Yay!

Bill:Enjoy "Deliquent girls are great too!"!

Kumagawa was eventually persued by Mylene to not disect Stephanie. Of course, that was mainly because he discovered she did in fact have money on her.

After collecting the debt for her cosumations and for the repairs of the damages done to the room, which was in no way Kumagawa's fault as he decided to declare, he has "gently" kicked her out. Right now he was face to face, at opposite sides of the table, with the queen herself.

Mylene:Kumagawa-kun, I'm very irritated with you.

Kumagawa:[Ah, it's not my first time hearing that.]

Mylene:I admit that my son's actions were foolish, but couldn't there have been a better approach?

Kumagawa:[Ah, I see...]

Kumagawa looked down as bangs covered his face. He seemed to have been thrown in despair.

Kumagawa:[Of course, of course. It's only natural, isn't it? I couldn't possibily keep my life after such events. But...Can you spare the lives of my family? Please!]

Saki:Heh, you sly dog. There's never enough trickery for you.

Kujira:Are you even surprised at this point?

Mylene:Wha...I would never! That's not what I meant? Uh...Uh! Ange, please help me!

Angelica:Your Majesty, he's messing with you.

Mylene:...Huh?

Mylene looked back at Kumagawa to see his head held high his his toungue struck out of his mouth. He tittled his head to the side with a wink and gently hit a side of his head.

Kumagawa:[Tehee!]

Mylene:Scheming boy! How dare you!?

Kumagawa:[I'm not sorry. After all, you have such cute reactions! It's not my fault!]

Mylene:...Haaah. Anyway, you have made many enemies at the Royal Palace. I say this because I'm worried about you. Have you thought what effects this could have on your future?

Kumagawa:[Of course I had.]

Kumagawa dragged a chair and sit down with his legs crossed. His face was the facade he alwais wore, but the air around him became much more serious.

Kumagawa:[And I honesty don't care. Whatever the case may be, I would've made enemies once I fully matured and officialy becane a noble in this political world. It's better to begin prematurely. I'll be blunt, your son and his friends are idiots. Doesn't matter how you explain it to them they'd neever understand, it's better to get them away from leading the country than letting them destroy it as leaders. I live here too and that'd be troubling for me, you know? People see things biased and lie a lot, even to themselves. They don't really want the truth, they just want a kind lie. I don't care if I'm despised or need to do everything by myself. I'm used to it. After all...Sometimes you need to be cruel to be kind.]

Najimi:As expected.

Medaka:While his act may point otherwise, Kumagawa is no fool.

Myouri: From what we saw, he's right on all his points.
