Arashikaze Manami's voice sounded as if she had seen an acquaintance.

"Well, Arashikaze Kaichou, it's been a while."

Responding to her, Katsuragi Remi continued to firmly suppress the other party.

"By the way, Katsuragi-san, the timing of your appearance is quite interesting."

"I have been keeping an eye on this hijacking incident, but I didn't originally intend to take action."

"I see, things wouldn't have escalated this far if I hadn't been so careless, huh?"

"Let's not dwell on that for now. Let's just tie her up and be done with it. That way, this matter will be resolved."

"Yeah, thanks to Katsuragi-san."

So, everyone except Ryuto tied up the young woman.

Ryuto was lost in thought. If you were to ask why, it was because...

Why did that voice sound so familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before. Where could it be?

While Ryuto pondered this, Katsuragi Remi took the initiative to approach him.

"You're Amagi Ryuto, the head of the Special Order Department at school, right?"

"School...?"

"That's right. Just as you thought, I'm also a student at Kanagawa High School, just like you. We're both first years. Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Katsuragi Remi, the head of the Kanagawa High School Detective Club. Nice to meet you, fellow club leader."

Saying that, she extended her hand.

"Oh, it's me who should say that."

Though they didn't know each other, Ryuto politely extended his hand in response.

After shaking hands, Katsuragi Remi spoke again.

"Amagi-kun, you must be wondering why I know you, right?"

"Um..."

What's going on? She's saying everything I wanted to say.

"Actually, you're quite famous at school, at least in my opinion."

That remark is quite ironic, considering the level of fame...

Perhaps understanding Ryuto's confusion, Katsuragi Remi spoke again.

"This statement might give you the wrong impression, so I'll explain it clearly."

"Oh..."

Ryuto mechanically responded.

What's going on? It's like she's just talking to herself.

"I got to know you during the theft incident at school."

"Theft incident?"

"That's right. The incident where the class representative of 1-D stole from himself, but it was later clarified by the principal that it was all just an experiment on you."

"Oh..."

Ryuto finally understood.

"So, our Detective Club really admires you."

"Admires..."

Ryuto was a little puzzled by the sudden shift in topic.

"That's right. After all... when this incident happened, even I didn't realize that the class representative of 1-D was the true culprit. Though, I didn't think it was Seto-san from the beginning."

"Oh, well, it's just a coincidence."

Upon hearing Ryuto's words, Arashikaze Manami leaned in.

"Amagi, you may not know this yet."

"Know what?"

"In fact, Katsuragi is a genius girl with an IQ over 200."

"......"

Upon hearing this, Ryuto felt like kneeling. How many times higher is her IQ compared to mine?

"And, to be more precise, she is one of only five people in the world with an IQ over 200."

"Only five people in the whole world..."

Wow, this is beyond amazing. It's even rarer than an S-rank.

"So, do you know what it means, Amagi, that you caught the criminal that even Katsuragi couldn't catch?"

In response, Ryuto just helplessly waved his hand.

"Well, even if Arashikaze-senpai says that... I just happened to guess right..."
