[I… committed a crime that a painter must never commit.
What the world says... "plagiarism" and "suppressing the younger generation"...
I did this to the young people in the art world of our country...
In order to win "Sayuri", I watched my disciple die of illness instead of calling an ambulance... Recently, another disciple of mine committed suicide by jumping off the building... Woo!
... I, don't know... how to apologize to everyone... woo... that's it! Ah, woohoo…!]
"It's really a sincere repentance without water, but it's not worthy of sympathy at all, because the 'real Madarame Yoizai' wouldn't say such things." I happened to see Madarame Yoizai's emergency apology meeting on the big screen on the street. Leeds, the live broadcaster, gave her own evaluation and erased the sympathy on the faces of the android maids who dragged her to hang out with them.
There is no way, the elderly people cry and scream, and it is easy to call out a heart of sympathy for no reason.
"Before I met the young master, I had always longed for human beings, but now that I think about it..." 21O took his eyes away from the big screen—sorry! The sight of passers-by also made her unhappy. A group of model-level beauties stood together, unless they were the male protagonists who pretended to be the protagonists, who could be a "pure appreciative sight"
"There is no need to continue the longing, but there is no need to regret the past," Liz smiled and hugged 21O, "Just think of Joseph, Jotaro, and Amamiya Lian, they are also human beings."
"… Hmm." 21O nodded shyly.
"However, twice in a row... Young master, there should be a reaction in the society." A2 reminded.
"Ah~ now we are temporarily good people in the eyes of the people on the wall, but we are super villains in the eyes of those in power~" Liz said heartlessly.
- a few days later -
[Kitamura Yusuke: ... Has it been replaced again? After the cops and teenage detectives, who is it
Sae Nishima: I'm Sae Nishima, an agent of the Special Investigation Department of the Prosecutor's Office, specializing in the investigation of the abolition incident and the Yellow Turban gang of phantom thieves.
Kitamura Yusuke: I don’t think the Phantom Thieves have anything to do with the abolition incident, in the opinion of the general public.
Niijima Sae: Is it relevant, then I have to find out the truth based on my investigation... Save some time and go straight to the topic, what happened at that time
Kitamura Yusuke: After the exhibition that day, Madarame Ryusai and I went back to the house to rest. There was a knock on the door at about eight or nine in the evening. I went to open the door, and I didn’t know anything after that.
Niijima Sae: Don't know anything
Kitamura Yusuke: Ah... Because I lost consciousness.
Niijima Sae: In other words, you were attacked by the Yellow Turban Phantom Thieves
Kitamura Yusuke: I've never said that, maybe the person who attacked me was Madaramu Yusei.
Niijima Sae: ... Really "can't remember anything"
Kitamura Yusuke: Ah, that's how it is.
Niijima Sae: What a joke! Dizzy or something, wasn't it the one who called the police at the scene? !
Kitamura Yusuke: Is there such a thing? No... I don't remember it at all... Maybe it was something you did when you were unconscious
Niijima Sae: You, you saw the looks of the members of the Yellow Turbans, right
Kitamura Yusuke: No matter how many times you ask, if you don’t know, you don’t know.]
…
Madarame Yoizai blew himself up on the second day, and was investigated by the police on suspicion of "mistreatment of his disciple", "plagiarizing his work", "frauding multiple businessmen" and other crimes, while Kitamura Yusuke "started from that day. "Becoming a key witness - the reason for using such a strange statement is because the forces headed by Shidou Justice put pressure on the bottom to investigate the phantom thieves on an ultra-standard scale, making Kitamura Yusuke trapped in the police station and suffering from fatigue and bombardment. type of questioning.
Of course, this has something to do with Kitamura Yusuke's refusal to report the situation. If he had told the situation at the time, he would have been released long ago... In fact, Liz doesn't need his help to hide it. Liz has never paid attention to the power of the material world. Here, it's just Kitamura Yusuke's sense of justice and gratitude that he would rather suffer rather than reveal any information that might lead to the whereabouts of the Phantom Thieves being revealed.
Fortunately, Shidou Justice can't make "a witness who is unwilling to speak" become "a juvenile criminal", at least not in the police station. Kitamura Yusuke was finally released.
Kitamura Yusuke is now almost penniless, Madarame Yoizai is his guardian, but Madarame Yoizai's assets have nothing to do with him... He does have several works that were once plagiarized, and they belong to him again after the investigation is over. , but there is a common problem in this society. The same works are blown to the sky when they are hung on the heads of famous people, but they are picked from three to four when they are hung on the heads of newcomers. These works of him probably won't sell for a good price.
Fortunately, Kitamura Yusuke is a great student, and the school can provide dormitory, so he didn't sleep on the street because the place where he lived was sealed off—
"... Sure enough, is the government eyeing the phantom thieves with special abilities? It's ironic. It's obvious that the people who do bad things are Madara, but the focus of the investigation is on them." He was cleaning the balcony of the dormitory, while observing the drive and following him all the way. Kitamura Yusuke, who came to the outside of the school, probably someone from the Special Investigation Department, couldn't let it go.
Of course, he also knows that he is looking at the problem from the perspective of the victims of the Madaramu incident. In the eyes of most people in the society, the phantom thieves are more dangerous. No matter whether they do good or bad things, it is not good to have power beyond the standard. !
"There is no way, I will stay in the school obediently during this time and wait for the limelight to pass..." Kitamura Yusuke shook his head and walked back to the dormitory from the balcony.
"...?" At a glance, he saw that there was a wrapped board on his bed, and there was a letter with a yellow cloth and a cat's paw stamp on it.
"How is that possible!?" Kitamura Yusuke hurriedly walked over and opened the letter, he didn't even bother to think about how these things suddenly appeared in his dormitory.
After a few minutes, he obeyed the letter's request and disposed of the letter.
Then, with trembling hands, he carefully opened the package of the plate.
"...this is "Lily"..."
The original work of "Sayuri" in the material world has been destroyed by Madarame Yuichisai, and there is only a Japanese woman in red who bows her head and doesn't know what she is looking at tenderly.
This is the secret treasure of cognition of the world, "Little Lily". It is exactly the same as the original work. The Japanese woman in red is holding a swaddling baby, but because of Madarame's confession, this painting will not be recognized by anyone in the society.
Kitamura Yusuke burst into tears.
"… Mother… "
