Kyokou Suiri (Ss2) - Ep 10 (gọi tắt là “Suiri #63”)

Your sins are trivial things. Now, how did the quiet chairman kill Ms. Sumi? There is an answer. Please take your time to think it over. [Part Two] Cough I'll be out for a while. I should at least let Kaoruko know about this situation. I'm going out to breathe some fresh air. Did they notice us? Should we go back to the room? No, better not. If we go back, who knows what might happen to us. You're stuck with me tonight, aren't you? You really are a pain, Senior. What a sight you are in this outfit. What about making this a pajama? It must be uncomfortable to sleep in. Silent Chairman back then. Do you know that everyone had their own murder plan? No, I just shook things up based on my own information and speculation, and smoothly wrapped up my words. That's a fact even the chairman never imagined. Then, was there really any need to bring it out into the open deliberately? President without voice would surely be surprised if he knew about these things. If you assign strange tasks, strange things will happen. I'll make sure to relay that to them personally today. As I mentioned earlier, if we don't bring it out into the open, everyone will only get distracted by unnecessary thoughts. Since that would also make it easier for them to be led toward the appropriate fake solution I prepared, why aren't we waiting for them to create their own resolution? It's easier that way, so I've wound the key that suggests the prepared solution to a reasonable degree. If you provided a bit more insight into the victim's character and the circumstances at the time, they might have realized it even without being told directly here. The one with the highest potential is Miss Leon. She might just reach the answer I'm looking for tonight. I was prepared for my sins with Ren to come to light, but I never expected it to go this far. I was truly surprised by Kaeko and Mr. Takano's involvement as well. If I had that feeling, Dad should have come instead; I'm sorry. I had my own doubts too. I thought I'd have to hide that past for the rest of my life, but I also thought it might be easier if you and my father found out. So it would've been fine if you had found it or if Dad had exposed it. I just didn't want to have to tell it myself. I understand how he felt, since the prince seemed to confess as if he were being pushed into it by Iwana Kotoko; I don't intend to get angry. You're acting surprisingly calm, even though your father was trying to kill your grandmother. I just can't seem to properly imagine what kind of person Grandma was. It's not that I can't take it seriously in reality; I've heard about the incredible person who brought the silent group to its current scale. I think he's someone quite problematic, even being plotted against by his own family. Yet for some reason, he's respected by Father and Shōmōji-sama. When talking about Grandma, I don't sense any hostility toward Grandpa Koyama, even though he must have hated her enough to want to kill everyone—his feelings seem strangely faint. There are also parts where that past doesn't truly press upon me, I suppose. Back then, I did harbor some resentment, after all. If that person is around, everything will be ruined—everyone used to say so. But only after that person was gone did I come to realize—she wasn't some tyrant who ignored others' opinions, nor was she someone who didn't care about our happiness. It's not that way—she's a victim too. That person merely believed they were ordered to do something and simply did as they were told. Ordered by whom? That person's father is Denjiro-san. It was Mother who greatly expanded the adult child group, but it was Denjiro who ordered her to do so. He had meticulously planned and organized the detailed strategy and guidelines, entrusting them to his daughter. The person who lived as an adult child merely continued forward according to that path. Even the marriage agreed upon with your grandfather was decided by Denjiro without consulting your mother. How many children are needed for a group, how to pass the group on to those children, and what kind of marriage partner should be chosen? Mother had carried out the decision entrusted to her by Denjiro-san—such was the specificity of Denjiro-san's desired direction. That's why, as the eldest son, I was told to take over the group, and ordered to devote myself entirely to supporting him. For the person who tried to separate me from Takano-san, believing that Kagari must marry a man from a good family, that would have been the greatest happiness for us. What was scary about this was that it was something beneficial for the group. What I'm trying to say is that everything went smoothly while that person was alive. The group was steadily developing along the expansion route exactly as depicted in the drawings made by Mr. Denjirō before his passing. The husband chosen by Denjirō was outstanding and perfectly fulfilled his role as aide to that person. I too have progressed, and Kazari has also grown up to become a child who would satisfy that person. How could someone who has maintained success for over half a century by eliminating anyone who opposes Takijirō's orders suddenly be excluded from those commands? Can one consciously recognize and deviate from a mistake, even when no obvious failure or error has yet occurred? That must take incredible courage—it could very well mean rejecting everything you've valued up until now. That person was merely a puppet controlled by Denjirō. In truth, they must have been aware of the group's crisis, and also understood that happiness takes different forms for each child. Even if that were true, admitting it and changing course would be defying Denjirō. But it couldn't be discarded because it had kept succeeding continuously. That's why that person's mother passed away at a good time—because she died at that point, sparing herself the responsibility of witnessing the group's collapse and the children's suffering. I was spared from facing the moment when I would be utterly betrayed by everything I had come to believe in. That should be considered fortunate; still, I don't intend to justify my having tried to kill that person. The plan was just for my future, but I couldn't carry it out alone. To ask for help from an elderly man moving forward—when I get absorbed in just one thing, I lose sight of everything else around me. The one who moves forward is always calm and able to see the game clearly. His eyes were the ones I trusted the most. I'm not suited to managing the group. If I had taken over the group, it would have turned out terribly. I won't tell that elderly man who keeps going straight ahead, even though I've told him countless times—he doesn't trust me at all. Maybe the only reason Dad and the others were able to resist domination was because of that. Perhaps my determination to follow my own path prevailed because I didn't feel satisfied with the place my grandmother had chosen. You're right; if we had blindly followed that person's orders and felt successful, we might have ended up as puppets controlled by Mr. Tenjiro. It can harm others and lead to self-destruction even during moments of success. Didn't she always leave hints all along? Everyone had an alibi for the murder plot. In a planned murder, the victim must not be allowed to scream. Each one harbored contradictions, elements that would exclude them from murder suspicion. But under this hypothesis, Dad, you just said Grandma passed away at a good time, didn't you? I did say that, but so what? I might have figured out the truth behind the incident. I think I've finally figured out the truth behind the murder case from 23 years ago. There was no sense of exhilaration upon reaching the answer—this was true from the very beginning. I was led there by Kotoko Iwanaga. Grandmother took her own life. That's why everyone, including Grandfather, had an alibi, Leon. My mother was someone who was far removed from suicide—she was someone who ruled over those around her however she pleased. There's no motive for suicide, but the group's collapse was probably anticipated, wasn't it? That's why everyone had planned to kill Grandma, and Uncle Go, as well as Uncle Takano, were both driven to desperation by Grandma's previous successes. You must have realized that it had become impossible to stop now. I, too, have grown older, and my perspective on the circumstances back then has changed. Nowadays, I no longer harbor any resentment; I've come to understand that even Mother was a victim. Grandmother had ample motive to take her own life. She was an exceptional businessperson, and if she had simply followed Denjiro's orders as they were, You must have known the group was heading toward collapse. The collapse of the group would go against Mr. Denjiro's orders, and it must be avoided at all costs. Disobeying the order is also a betrayal of Denjirou-san. It was incredibly terrifying for Grandma. Given that she had continuously succeeded by following orders up until then, it was psychologically impossible. The way to resolve that contradiction was suicide—it was the only means by which I could protect the quiet group and ensure my grandmother would not have to feel fear. No, but if that mother had committed suicide, and indeed, if that mother had disappeared at that time, I thought all the problems would be resolved, and indeed, everything went smoothly. If the mother herself were aware of this, suicide might be possible. But wouldn't it be easier to defy Mr. Denjiro's orders than to die? It's common to resort to a nearby escape when cornered. In such cases, people often say afterward, "I should have just quit my job," or "I should have cut ties with those people." Simply put, from the person's perspective, they feel afraid of the sense of responsibility and the aftermath, which is why they can't do it. That's why suicide, which allows them to escape responsibility and avoid knowing what comes afterward, becomes appealing. It would be different if there were someone to discuss future matters with, sharing responsibilities, but I doubt Aki-san had anyone like that. At that point, death was convenient even for Grandmother. Father said so too. One might say that it was fortunate that he died at a good time, so choosing to die oneself would have been appealing. But I can't commit a simple suicide in front of Grandmother. If the chairman of the large group were to die by suicide, it would mean the end of the entire conglomerate. Her image will surely deteriorate. There's no way the grandmother who wants to protect the group would tolerate it. Therefore, I had to die in a way that wouldn't appear to be suicide to those around me. So you're saying I pretended to be a multiple murderer in order to make it look like suicide? Disguising a robbery-murder, returning alone from a massage parlor, there are no people around on the residential street. Then Grandmother carried out her plan. Indeed, in that case, Tsuji's wife would be But if Mother had committed suicide, why would Father say he was the culprit? Grandfather must have deliberately诱导 Grandmother toward suicide, wouldn't you say? By deliberately showing him the very materials that make suicide seem like the best option, and thus making it seem justified for Grandfather to decide to take his own life. Surely you're confident that you've just provided the final, decisive piece of information. Is that right? Is the fact that every child has devised their own plan to kill me the deciding factor in my decision to commit suicide? On the foreboding sense that I am the cause of the group's collapse, I have continued to believe in the children's happiness. If you realize even that, your resolve to commit suicide might come immediately. After all, I'm hated by every single child. If the old man deliberately made me aware of that... The person who killed Grandma could be called Grandpa. In other words, it was me or my older brother. So that's why Kaoruko-sister, Takano also helped kill Mother? How about that? Even if he's chairman, would he have noticed it? Everyone must have carefully and secretly carried out the murder plan back then; they merely drove the tenant to suicide, making it seem as though the children themselves were planning the killings. They might have fabricated evidence and presented it, but it would be more natural to assume that the lie happened to coincide with the truth. You're being awfully kind, but we also have our responsibilities. It wouldn't be fair to burden just your father with this either. As Iwana said, even if the truth had been explained directly by Grandfather himself, you wouldn't have been convinced. Without understanding the situation in which everyone regarded the grandfather as the culprit and plotted the grandmother's murder, and without being able to objectively view the grandmother's position at that time, it would be extremely difficult to believe such a story. Didn't you, at the old man's request, lead us to this truth? Chairman Soundless didn't feel the need for such a thing at all. Well, do the two of you agree with Leon's answer? Then let's consider this the final answer and proceed until noon tomorrow. If I were to tell the president without words, this would be the most complete answer possible. Likewise. Then, how shall we handle the priority of inheritance? It was Rei who made this reply, but is it acceptable to follow the originally agreed-upon order? How can you, in pain, now possibly claim to prioritize the inheritance with such a face after attempting to kill your mother? Karl's daughter would probably be the same. If she had the nerve to demand priority rights, she wouldn't have been intimidated by this assignment. Do we really need priority rights at this point? It's enough if Grandpa divides things appropriately. Let's ask the General Chairman, Leon-san. Can you personally convey this response to the chairman tomorrow? If not, I can relay it on your behalf, but I will speak to him directly. Since I'm entrusting it to you, it might end up being spoken with increasing malice, but Leon is a name that sounds pleasant, isn't it? It feels like a blend of a squirrel and a lion—your unique cuteness and courage. Why are you giving such a strange interpretation? It's just a romaji reading of the English word for lion. My brother has always liked lions, so if it were a boy, I would have named him Leo. Rio Mama is fully understood as she is. Why don't you reconcile with her at this opportunity? Let's think about it. First, we need to pay our respects at my mother's grave. She was trying, in her own way, to protect what she believed needed to be guarded. Given that, I need to pay my respects again and inform the child on my face without delay. It would be better to get confirmation from the president first, since it looks promising. This is our answer, Grandfather. How do you find it? We should have created this opportunity sooner. Kaoiko seems to have developed a deep sense of guilt toward everyone, as if she had burdened them with excessive remorse up until now. This answer is a tax. I didn't know you were planning to murder your mother. That was mere coincidence, but it was fortunate that we carried out the plan to eliminate Suri-san before you did. At least I managed to prevent you from killing your mother with your own hands. No, even so, I still... my brother It's true that Kaoruko-sister and Kogoya are guilty, but it's no longer something that can be punished by law—there's no evidence. And Mother doesn't hate Father either, does she? Back then, everyone had no choice but to do what they did. Everyone at some point may feel like killing someone; perhaps they may even come close to grasping madness. But there's a vast difference between surpassing and failing the final battle. The guilt toward Sumi-san is mine to bear. You need only witness how I die. Although I had concealed it from everyone, I was indeed severely afflicted by the malignant disease. Diagnosed as being unable to stand even after half a year, suffering severe pain, and eventually dying in a terrible condition This illness and the pain are the price I paid for killing my beloved. I will not choose pain relief nor euthanasia; I will endure them fully until the very end. Once a person takes a life, there will inevitably be a fitting retribution. Even if killing someone leads to everything going smoothly, retribution will still come. Dreaming of success at that corner is not something to be taken for granted; apparently, everyone has renounced their right of inheritance. The greatest contributor among the thieves is Mr. Lyon, but I hope the inheritance is distributed as Chairman Otoha sees fit. It's not good, isn't it? No, it's not a normal judgment, is it? You're the biggest contributor, Koko-san. I'm glad I asked you. I'll tell you the truth. Is it still just restlessness, being told to spirit away? If the chairman had killed your wife with his own hands, I wouldn't have needed to interfere unnecessarily. But the chairman chose his preferred method. It should now be somewhat recognized that it was not the case then. The chairman now feels that adopting that approach was the right decision. Since, as you just said, the children were spared from having to kill their mother with their own hands, there's no reason for you to regret that choice, given your past success. Mr. Leon, you're assuming that the soundless resident committed suicide. Then why wasn't the method of faking one's own death chosen at that time? That is I accidentally stepped into the roadway while trying to pick something up, and slipped, falling from the station platform onto the tracks. If a person is determined to do so, it's easy to make it appear that way. Even if someone who seemingly wouldn't be suspected of suicide is found in a somewhat unnatural position, they would still be classified as an accident. Kotoko, if you do that, police operations won't proceed properly, and there's no need to worry about alibis for the involved personnel. In reality, the suspect's alibi was almost lost; he would have remained under suspicion had it not been for the fracture. If the police get involved in a serious way, even the cover-up operations might be exposed. Isn't faking multiple murders extremely risky? In other words, the fake multiple murder was not carried out. Since there was no sound, Sumi-san's death was not suicide. That was indeed murder. Then, let us point out the real culprit. Yeah, it's not for myself anymore Even when you feel helpless, if it's for you, there's nothing impossible. I dream day and night, even in a relaxed world, yet I remain unshaken. A story shared by just the two of us— even if tomorrow can be changed, you remain unchanged It's fine just as it is. There's no substitute. I'll be by your side forever. Immersive love, I'll show you tonight Feel the endless immersive love, you Immersive love I'll show it to you tonight, just for you Immersive love, unforgettable. Feel it, you. Immersive love.
