"Oomine-kun is planning to make Otonashi-san lose her memory!"

"——!"

The things I wanted to say to Mogi-san are all blown away.

I'm really sorry, but she's right—I have a new top priority right now.

After all, Maria losing her memory would be—a fatal blow.

My goal is not simply destroying Maria's 'Flawed Bliss'—it's persuading her to abandon her 'box' of her own accord.

But there's obviously no way to persuade her if she loses her memory. In Maria's eyes, I would be reduced to just another stranger. Given her iron will, it'll be hard enough for me to convince her as she is now—god forbid I end up trying to do it as a stranger to her.

Letting her lose her memories of me is equivalent to losing all hope.

But how would they do that? ...No, it's easy enough, isn't it? They just have to use the 'Flawed Bliss' on someone. Maria mentioned that she could erase her memory using that method.

"Tch, Daiya...!"

Not bad! No matter how tightly he's cornered, he still manages to hit me in my one soft spot!

"Mogi-san," I address her as I grind my teeth, left with no choice but to collect more information. "How did you learn about that?"

"You have already noticed that I'm in possession of a 'Shadow of Sin and Punishment', right?"

"Yeah."

"I received an [order] earlier."

"What did it say?"

"I was told to prepare for an attack by a [servant]. And I was told to get in touch with you."

In other words, that stun gun really was meant to defend her against that girl, after all. She probably refrained from using it right away because the girl stole her cell phone and because she knew that the girl would try to establish contact with me.

"You wanted to get in touch with me to tell me about Daiya's plan to erase Maria's memory, right?"

"Right!"

Okay, got that. I have, but...

"But hold on, why would Daiya do that? Why would he want me to find out about his plans?"

"Eh?"

Mogi-san's reaction makes it all clear.

Right. Of course he wouldn't do that.

That [order] comes—from a different [master].

But there should only be one person apart from Daiya who has the power of a [master], namely, Iroha-san. I doubt he would entrust anyone else with that power. Besides, Iroha-san said that she was the only other [master].

"But—"

But there is one person who Iroha-san might have secretly given that power to. Someone she trusts, someone sensible enough to stop her when it came down to crunch-time.

The name of that person is—

"Yuuri-san."

Surprise shows on Mogi-san's face.

"...What?"

I was pretty confident that my reasoning was spot on, but it seems like I got the wrong idea.

"Looks like...I was wrong?"

"You're not!"

"Hm?"

"Why do you address me by my last name even though you use Yanagi-san's first name when you talk to her?"

"......"

Huh?

"You're bothered by that?"

"I-I am!" she complains while blushing.

As it seems, I was wrong about being wrong.

"...Um..."

Anyway, the originator of Mogi-san's [order] was Yuuri-san, after all. She wanted to communicate what happened inside the 'Cinema' to me by using Mogi-san.

That proves that I was right to send Yuuri-san to Daiya.
