At the Sixth Precinct, the mood had changed. Witches who’d shown no interest in him were now studying his face intently. Pointing and whispering.

What now? he wondered but didn’t stop.

His mind filled with worst-case scenarios. When would Miseria come for him? What spell would she cast?

“Hey, everyone! We’re baaack!” Miseria said.

All eyes turned to her.

“Hmm? Is there something on my face? Whatever. I have a surprise announcement!”

I’m doomed. She’s gonna tell them all.

Rogue braced himself.

“I’ve decided to fully back this detective. My wits and powers are at his disposal.”

______She’s pulled the rug out from under me.

As if on cue, every witch fell silent. An ominous hush. What did Miseria just say? She was backing him? How did that work? Before he knew it, he was yelling.

“Wh-what the hell is wrong with you? I’m so lost! You’ve done nothing but get in the way!”

“My, here I am, offering to help, and you spurn it? Did you want me to destroy your mind? I mean, I do aim to please. Won’t even charge you for it.”

“I don’t even know what you’re talking about!”

“Yo, Detective. I’m up for working tomorrow, too. If I’m in the mood,” Humafu said. She was lounging in a chair, reading a magazine, and didn’t even glance his way.

“H-huh?!”

The rest of the witches began chiming in.

“Okay, then I’m in, too.”

“Fork over the files. I’ll be done in five.”

And more.

Rogue’s head was spinning. Feeling like he was being punked, he searched for a camera—and found Angene grinning from ear to ear, holding up a square device. Is that…a receiver?

She pressed a switch on it, and he heard his own voice blurting, “Wh-what the hell is wrong with you?”

Sh-she bugged me?

Rogue quickly patted himself down and found something hard tucked inside his collar. It was shaped like a fly and very small. He yanked it off his shirt.

When did she…? Well, she only had the one shot.

When she’d popped up right behind him. He hadn’t noticed her come in at all, so she could have planted it with no issue.

“Tee-hee-hee-hee-hee. You’re an easy mark. Hee. We all thoroughly enjoyed the escape drama. Hee-hee-hee. Hee-hee.”

“Y-you knew about this?”

“Of course,” Miseria said. “I just didn’t feel the need to tell you.”

Everyone but him had been in on it. Catherine alone was waffling around, at a loss.

“We all agree you ain’t half bad,” Humafu said, pushing her sunglasses up and shooting Rogue a bleary look. “So we’re down to play. Keep it fun, or you won’t last long. Ugh…I’m so sleepy… Someone lend me a lap…”

“So…it was all an act?”

Miseria shook her head. “Not all of it. Some of that was just for my own entertainment. We test every detective sent here, and I’m the examiner. Congratulations, Rogue. You’re the only one who has ever passed.”

Then she pointed at Catherine.

“She wasn’t told anything. I mean, she can’t keep a secret.”

“Y-you’re so mean!” Catherine wailed. “Ganging up on me!”

“Aw, there’s nothing mean about it,” Miseria said. “We’re actually grateful!”

“You don’t sound grateful!”

“Listen to the voice in my heart.
