As night fell outside, the man sat in deep thought in his newly darkened room. With a furrowed brow, his mind fixated on one single thing—how to obtain his test subject, Ochiai Eri.

He had some measure of confidence in his physical strength, but no matter how strong he was, he was still human. Abducting her alone was a near impossibility. Rather than relying on his strength, perhaps he could devise some maneuver to lure her to his room?

He picked up the knife with Kirigoe Mima’s relief in the handle. Whenever he held the weapon, an uncanny calm settled over him. Now it provided him with a spark of hope, the confidence that the right idea was somewhere inside him, waiting to be found.

He stared into the weapon’s blade. His reflection looked back at him from the sharpened and polished metal. His own face unnerved him—those fierce eyes reminded him of the evil cat-spirits in old ghost stories.

He attributed the look to the depth of his conviction.

He considered his options. What if I soaked a rag with chloroform and hauled her in a taxi? The man placed the knife back on his desk and folded his arms. No, that won’t work. Obtaining the drug would be difficult and getting caught with her unconscious body isn’t something I could talk my way out of. Under his breath, he muttered, “That won’t do.”

No matter how he went about it, abducting her carried too high a risk. The best way would be for Eri to come to his room of her own volition.

But how could he make her want to do it?

First, he imagined himself in her position. If he could put himself in her shoes, he might be able to understand the way she ticked. If he pulled that off, he might just be able to devise a scheme to get her here.

And so he pondered.

Eri had no morals. She lusted after men and had no reservations against taking them. The sooner the world was rid of her, the better. But promiscuous or not, she was still an idol.

Even a tramp like her still had to appeal to her fans as an idol. No matter what her character, she was no porno actress. That made her vulnerable to scandals. One that involved sex would be fatal even to her.

By holding the threat of such a scandal over her, the man reasoned, he could manipulate her freely. Getting her to come to his room would be easy.

The man picked up an idol magazine from the floor beside him. He turned through the pages and found the listing for the phone number of her managing agency, New Clear Vision. His plan was to call the office and ask for her fan club’s contact number. Once they got to talking, fan club members tended to divulge an idol’s schedule in much greater detail than their agency ever would.

Once he had her complete schedule, he would work backwards to find her free time—that’s when he’d sleuth out the scandal he needed.
