Kyokou Suiri (Ss2) - Ep 8 (gọi tắt là “Suiri #63”)

We have been eagerly awaiting your arrival, Mr. Iwanaga. Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Natsukawa 51. I'm sorry, Kinako-san. I was surprised to be suddenly asked for a meeting by a complete stranger. But I just couldn't help thinking that this request could only be fulfilled by Kotoko-san. Gentle 51 operates over 200 hotels both domestically and internationally. The chairman of a well-known, calm group that also exerts influence in other ventures Why is it that such a person Should I say I was surprised, or that I was utterly bothered? I only went to great lengths to politely ask, that's all. Being given status in a strange way tends to be perceived as intimidating. Compared to the chairman, I'm just a young girl. I do not possess the capability to meet your expectations. I think it's already something special just being able to sit across from you one-on-one and drink tea gracefully. Although I myself am also said to be the chairman of a quiet group, It just ended up this way, through circumstances beyond my control. I am not originally a quiet or reserved person. I was working at the group's hotel, suggesting improvements in management. Back then, the president, Mr. Odanshi Denjirō, took a liking to him. Forced to marry Miss Sumi, the daughter of the household Denshirō recognized his daughter Sumi's talent for running a business. I was trying to make her succeed me. In fact, Sumi-san was an outstanding manager for his time. After marrying me, Mr. Denjiro passed away. Mr. Sumi has officially become president. Expanded the group's scale and grew it into a global entity Moreover, he even managed to profit from three children. She was someone I could only describe as a wicked woman. I've also heard that after President Shō's passing, it was the chairman who safeguarded the group. Without Mr. Kyoichi, the group would have been in danger. If Mr. Sumi had lived another year, the group would have collapsed. Mr. Shirogane was allegedly observed by an unknown person on the street 23 years ago during a robbery escape, wasn't he? The culprit has still not been caught. Yes, actually, I am the culprit. You're joking. This isn't a joke, you know. No, I didn't directly kill Sumi-san. Then you hired someone to kill him. Then it's still easier to understand. But someone who can actually kill a person? It's not something you can find so easily. You're right. It was a fox spirit that killed Shou-san. What is called a proton I made a deal with something outside the base's refusal. I had you killed, Shou-san. That's going way too far for a joke. The chairman of a global hotel group To utter things like protons and other non-scientific entities That's precisely because he is the chairman of the hotel group. At the hotel, an ever-changing crowd comes and goes every day. It also becomes a stage for people's deaths in various incidents. Perhaps that's why there are stories of paranormal phenomena or ghosts appearing in the guest rooms. It's something that's asked a lot. They may not admit it publicly, but things that exist in reality do exist. I definitely made a deal with the proton 23 years ago. Why are you telling me that story? Isn't it well-known in one respect? Kotoko tends to get overly enthusiastic about such meetings. Indeed, such a request was made through my parents. I will respond according to the omen, but it's ominous indeed. They are first all illusions or psychological biases, and so on. Something that can be reasonably explained I am a child of science. Maybe it's because of this artificial eye and artificial leg as well. What caused that artificial eye and artificial leg? A phenomenon truly akin to divine disappearance. I can sense a blessed aura surrounding you, as if you're about to attend a meeting. As for the others, never mind. Only you believed what I said. I brought along this thing I'm counting on this time. I apologize for the inconvenience. Please continue. Twenty-three years ago, the group had been relentlessly expanding. Make the group the number one in the world. That is the wish of Denjirō-san. Slip's goal But the group was already collapsing, having surpassed its limits. But Sumi didn't want to stop. The group's leaders also regarded such a person as Sumi-san. It couldn't be stopped. Ms. Sumi was also trying to control the children's lives. The eldest son wants to become a chef, yet it is not allowed. I tried to make the group's successor. Refusing to acknowledge the lover the girl had brought along I tried to break them up. My second son had been actively trying to take over the group's work. I did not let my eldest son take on the job he wished to inherit. I was at my limit. If left alone, both the group and the children will be destroyed. Even though I understood that, I was powerless to do anything. At that very moment, I was holed up alone in a secluded villa deep in the mountains. I was thinking about the policy. Even Sumi-san If only Sumi were gone, everything would be fine. If even Sumi-san were to disappear Then shall I grant your wish? Talk in detail. I am a proton Mr. Ayaka has decreased by one year. In your world, things that cannot be done are possible here. I was startled and frightened, yet What was more frightening than monsters was the reality of the group's future and the children's fate. I am Got it Then I shall kill your wife myself. In return, grant me one wish. What could possibly be taken in a deal with a monster? But I What is that wish? Develop the land in the neighboring town of Yamate and turn it into a place for people to use. A rival clan is establishing itself there, expanding its presence and influence. I want to suppress it completely. It could likely be obtained in that location. It would be impossible if there were inhabitants. It would be possible if they disappeared. Can do. When a resident passes away I'll fulfill your wish. I'll make you dead within the month. Perhaps ten days or so. Sumi-san was confronted by a suspect believed to be a robber on the street. And when the funeral and the group's turmoil had somewhat subsided I've killed your wife. Don't forget your promise either. If you don't fulfill your duty, then I'll kill you myself next time. To use humans in a struggle for power among one's own kind? What a thoroughly worldly and mundane concern. So, you've kept your promise, then. It took about half a year to open up the mountain, you know. Then I became president. The conservative group aims for management that is commensurate with its size and capabilities. In some departments, reductions or divestitures were also carried out. If I had just followed Auntie Sumi as she was. The group must have endured excruciating pain, as if their spines had snapped. What happened to the children who were dominated by the caretaker? The eldest son became a chef unrelated to the group. Nowadays, I have my own shop. The eldest daughter married her boyfriend. His business ventures have also been successful. They are still happily doing it. Be involved in the management of the group Serving as a Executive Director In other words, because the resident passed away Did everything really go perfectly? That's right The path chosen after committing the taboo of murder I made everything go smoothly. It went surprisingly well. It is the summit. May I order a Shippō cake as a celebration gift? It's not the summit. Anything at all I wish that Somin hadn't died back then. There would have been no problem if such an incident had occurred. If that is the case Killing is not a course of action that should be chosen. Even the cursed ones were obtained. I truly felt that choosing meant receiving a corresponding retribution. For health reasons, I I know you've stepped back from managing the group. Yes Malignant tumors are localized throughout the body I was diagnosed with only one year left to live. Within half a year, I'll be tormented by severe pain. It will probably become a terrible end stage. This matter is still kept secret even from my family. I'd like to keep this confidential for a while. That aside, Actually, when I heard about the condition of this body, I felt relieved. So, after all, is the retribution for murder finally coming to me? What I did was a clear-cut murder. There should be a punishment that deserves to be rebuked. It would be contrary to order. I admit that it goes against the order. So what do you expect from me? What worries me are the children. The children succeeded, as it were, through their mother's death. This success experience is precarious. If in the future it happens the same way When a situation arises that seems promising due to someone's death Perhaps the option of murder might come to mind. That's why I told the children I killed Shōsan. That's how I'll die, knowing the truth. I have to show it clearly. I have a solid alibi. The crime is impossible. Even if I were to speak the truth and say I received help from a proton The children won't believe it, I suppose. Even if you hire someone to kill a person, it's the same thing. Because the perpetrator is Yangzi I cannot prove my own crime. It's probably hard for them to believe, isn't it? Therefore, hide the children somewhere I must make them believe that I killed Mr. Sumi. I want you to cooperate with me on this. Even if the murder method I'm describing were a lie? Children have the right to know who killed their mother. Remaining ignorant is Something that leaves a thorn in your heart. I also want to eliminate that. How to make the children believe in my crime I've already thought out the detailed plan. Your role has also been determined. Should I place an additional order before we get to that topic? Maybe a chiffon cake would be fine? Cheesecake and matcha roll together as well There was a conversation like this about two weeks ago. This is another complicated case. You can do it! Why do you say it like HR? It's decided that I'll get help from Senior Crow as well. It must have been about two weeks ago. Maybe I stayed silent because I thought I wasn't needed. It was difficult to talk about it until we could make a decision after conducting additional investigations. Did you confirm with Yoko who did the deal with the chairman? Since there was only one that met the conditions It was found much sooner. We've caught the one you've been looking for, Officer. My name is Snowstorm That I, a lowly human, should be helped by the noble Yoko— To suspect someone is extremely impolite. Free my hands. Otherwise, by my lift, I shall deliberately bring this land down. You did it, didn't you? If humans are to be used to destroy mountains, it is an outrageous act that goes too far. Even the homes of unrelated people were driven away from the mountains. Why? Why am I the one who can be both the criminal and the detective? The evidence is The silent chairman confessed to me. Why would you do such a thing? You will now be judged by your own kind. I am not in a position to intervene. About the murder in the silent residence, if I respond to my superior I'll gently convey to them from my side to punish them severely for their grave sins. Speak everything without deception. Chisato was cunning, but In the end, I was tripped up by Chairman's innocence. Didn't the bad rumors about you in social circles hurt you more than anything else? Without that, the chairman wouldn't have brought up the matter in the first place. Roushi Surely those envious wretches who resented my charm You must be correcting some baseless, leafless gossip. There must be roots and leaves as well. Anyway, there were a few unexpected things, but I figured out the hidden meaning behind the words. To the silent chairman who gained benefits through the power of the meeting, How do you respond? Is there a distortion of the order that you should stand in there? For example, even if a case where a hotel guest is troubled occurs It does not go against such order. If left unattended, the human side will resort to a hardline response toward Mr. Ayaka. Ayaka's side is pushed into a difficult position. While the trouble is still small That is my position: to ensure neither party suffers any loss. If I'm going to win that prize with my senior's ability anyway, It's a rather heartwarming story, though. Isn't that cheating? Let's go get it by our own strength instead of relying on the senior's abilities. A ballpoint pen can be bought at a convenience store, can't it? Senior, please look carefully. This is a magical pen that makes your swimsuit disappear when turned upside down. I want it, I want it And then murder In the case where such an action is deliberately carried out by an individual with significant social influence It wouldn't be good to dismiss it as nothing important. Yes To date, the silent chairman has not spoken about this with anyone other than me. Demand guilt for one's own actions You are bestowing upon the children this very moment as well. But later on, I changed my mind I don't mind enduring meetings when I'm in a difficult situation. It might convey the lesson that things will work out if you do it that way. In response, the children will do so in the future We must prevent situations where people resort to using the power of meetings. It is not sad that the conference side also approaches humans in the same manner. Even if the snowstorm of Yangzi is stopped, it will still result in the companions being punished. The human side would also require a sacrifice of equal magnitude. That is what order means. Isn't the silent chairman paying the price of having only a short time to live due to illness? If one falls ill at a young age, it is a price to pay. At 81 years old, he could also pass away due to other factors. If others around them see it, Chairman-san's choice will be deemed correct. The chairman will probably go, perhaps wondering whether he was right after all. It wouldn't make sense unless I make a few adjustments. You're harsh. Even this is a relatively lenient response. And for the chairman to choose to rely on me to correct his actions Moreover, in terms of order, it is precarious. Dangerous? It's normally unthinkable to trust that much. When in trouble among the silent chairman It is evidence that they reject relying on things that go against common sense. The point is that we are firmly bound by past successful experiences. That's why I have to fulfill my duty in this matter. So, what's the specific schedule like? It seems the silent chairman has a plan. I will fabricate and reveal a false resolution accusing the chairman as the culprit. I thought it would turn out in this form, but It's not that simple. Even if someone forces an explanation upon me claiming I'm the culprit, I can't truly accept it in my heart. That's why you should make them think for themselves. In the process, it causes suspicion toward me. If a coherent explanation is provided, I will be convinced that I am the culprit. under the intention of giving them to the children I killed my ex-wife, Ms. Sumi, 23 years ago. I was told to pose the task of explaining why that is the truth. To the one who best responds to that challenge Granting priority rights in inheriting the chairman's estate and determine whose explanation is better to me That's what it means to assign rankings. Inheritance issues are really troublesome. This task will make them try to recall past incidents. Once filtered through such a lens, everything begins to seem suspicious. That is the chairman's intention: to steer people toward believing the father is the culprit. If I were the one making the judgment, I'd likely earn some resentment. In addition to that role, so that the children can provide appropriate explanations You are expected to take on roles such as offering advice and conducting checks. It must be that the truth is simply that the proton killed him. Um, so it's a proper explanation of a lie. I hear the chairman has an alibi. The solution of easily blaming the father as the culprit doesn't come to mind so readily. Probably I'll need to carry out the necessary work to lead to a suitable resolution of the pre-prepared lie. It only increases the hassle. If I determine the future with my usual abilities, the goal will surely be achieved. Because a level of trustworthiness that allows for a decision is necessary. Moreover, how could an outsider be involved in a family member's murder? Don't make it difficult to provide an answer. I thought the same thing, but... If there were outsiders, they would have no choice but to believe this is no joke of mine. They say so. You're determined to use me however you want, no matter how far that goes. It's my turn, senior. You can't take this back anymore. I hear that the representative will be asked to gather at the hotel at noon on September 3rd to respond to the assignment. However, I will only hear the final answer from noon on the following September 4th. Have those who have gathered by then discuss and exchange information. I will correct the answer. It's going to be a really unpleasant gathering. Senior Kuro will also be present at the scene. I have a shift today, huh. That's why I'm saying no from now on I'll help you bring out your senior's motivation, even if it's unavoidable. I do feel a bit sorry about it, too. So today, I came wearing sexy underwear for you, senior. It's a paisley pattern, you know! Well, just take a look. Stop it You don't have any allure to begin with. Anything multiplied by zero is zero. I don't find it sexy even by virtue of the pattern itself. How can you not understand this invitation? I did it. Got it, I'll take care of it. More so than troubles involving yōkai or monsters It seems like dealing with humans would be exhausting. I feel the same way. Still, I've already made my decision, so please don't worry. Just No, nothing at all Why did the chairman trust me so completely? As previously requested I would like each of you to present a reasonable explanation for how I allegedly murdered Silent Smi without making a sound. I will grant priority in inheriting my estate to the person who provides the best answer. The evaluation of the response will be conducted by Iwana Konomi, who is present here. I will hear the final answer here at noon tomorrow, where I will be. Feel free to present as many responses as needed to Kinako-san before then. May I have my answer revised and corrected? Gather all relevant parties together for inheritance matters. It's a stage setting that seems destined to cause an incident. Let me introduce it once again. The vice president and director of the "Soundless Group," the second son. Mr. Fujinuma Kōya, husband of the eldest daughter, Kaeko I am the president of a company where I am employed and financially support myself. Kunikо is smarter and more energetic than 光也君. He will probably come up with the best solution to the problem. Lion, my granddaughter and daughter of my eldest son, Ryoma. Ryoma is the one who's best at cooking, that's for sure. He wouldn't go to the trouble of closing his own shop for this. For Leona, her grandmother's murder happened before she was born. That's precisely why the incident cannot be experienced without immersion. It will provide everyone with a different perspective. These three individuals are the ones. Just what exactly is your goal, Dad? It's as I said. I want you to know the truth about who killed your mother. I just want to show that the punishment for that sin will be properly received. There's no way my father could have killed my mother. Even if that were the case What's the point in punishing it now? You will clearly see its meaning when you reach the truth. The reason for appointing this young lady as the judge Kotoko is the person who can most truly appreciate the truth. My name is Kotoko Iwanaga. The one lurking behind is Sakuragawa Kyōrō. How many years have I had a prosthetic right eye? Because my left foot is a prosthetic I have obtained permission for Sakuragawa to be present as backup in case of emergencies. I regret nothing that I, or Sakuragawa, have seen or heard here. Please take these two days to feel at ease, discuss the matter, and kindly provide your response. As desired by Chairman Otona In view of truth and order I will fairly evaluate everyone's responses. That's the way it is. I'm looking forward to your response tomorrow. Shall I say it once again? I killed Sumi-san 23 years ago. I am the culprit. I want the truth fully revealed. Even tomorrow Don't change, please. Always by your side I just felt it I'll show it to you tonight Feel it, my babe I'll show it to you tonight Only for you Just for you, babe
