Although I don't really understand it, it seems like... as long as I use this, I can find out whether or not I can become Ryuto's lover. But if I do the test myself, it might not be accurate, since I don't really understand it.

Hmm... so basically, as long as I use this, I can find out who Darling's future wife is. Even though I'm pretty sure it's me, you never know. What if someone suddenly appears out of nowhere? I need to find a way to prevent that from happening. But how?

Although I can find out a lot about that idiot brother using this thing... if I do the test myself, other people might find out.

Hmm... I think I know what they're up to. Luckily, I'm here. Even though I can find out a lot about Amagi's younger brother using this thing, I can't reveal it.

"If I use this, maybe I can find out Dark Men's true identity. But how exactly should I use it? If I directly ask when is the best time to catch Dark Men, I can solve the catching problem, but I won't know Dark Men's identity until then. But I can't wait anymore, what should I do?"

So, everyone was pondering their own questions, wearing frustrated expressions.

What's with this situation? It's not like we're solving math problems, why is everyone so confused? It's not some sort of intellectual puzzle, is it?

Well, since none of you are doing anything, then I won't be polite.

So Ryuto took advantage of the opportunity while everyone was thinking.

But...

Oh right, we can just have Ryuto do the test. After all, Ryuto seems to know a lot, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Hmm... we can just let Darling take the test directly. If we know the name of Darling's future wife, the result will be the same whether I do the test or not. And if it's me, it's fine. But if it's someone else, we can eliminate them now and relieve any future worries.

Well, let's just have that idiot brother do the test directly.

Exactly, if we let Amagi's younger brother do the test, we won't expose anything.

Yeah, why didn't I think of that? If we let Amagi Ryuto do the test, we can find out if he is Dark Men or not. It's simple and clear.

After contemplating the purpose of the device, everyone came to almost the same conclusion.

This just doesn't seem scientific no matter how you think about it.

Well, let's just ignore it. Let science go to hell.

And then...

With a swish, everyone turned their heads at the same time.

Huh? What's going on?

Ryuto, who was prepared to take advantage of the opportunity, quickly noticed this abnormal situation.

"Hmm? What's wrong with you guys? You seem a bit off."

I just wanted to take advantage of it for a moment, no need to stare at me like that. Besides, in the first place, it's not even considered taking advantage if I'm using it because I saw you guys weren't using it. Is that not okay?

Although the reason may be justified, Ryuto didn't think it was a valid excuse...

At the same time, for some reason, Ryuto felt a sense of danger and his instinct was telling him to escape quickly. So Ryuto swiftly turned around and retreated in an instant.

But...

But before that, several hands reached out from behind and grabbed him.

"Mmm..."

The immense force rendered Ryuto incapable of breaking free. Instead of creating distance, his body kept moving backward.

Before he could grasp the situation, several people pulled him back and forcibly pinned him onto a machine.

"Mmm... I understand. Isn't this just a test? Can't I do it myself?"

Realizing escape was impossible, Ryuto decisively chose to surrender.

Finally, in a semi-voluntary and semi-coerced state, Ryuto placed his right hand on the machine.

"Hmm... This should be enough, right?"

Now, all he had to do was wait for the results.

As he thought this,

"Drip--"

Suddenly, a piercing alarm rang out.

"Ah, what's going on?"

Not only did the screen not show any results, but the machine unexpectedly emitted an alarm.

This alarm quickly alarmed the people around as well.

"Hey, what's happening?"

Ryuto shifted his gaze towards the person from earlier, but...

Huh? They're gone, Ryuto noticed that, at some point, the person from earlier had disappeared.

Just then, the voice of that person resurfaced from somewhere.

"Your Excellency Baron, it's that person."

While saying this, the person pointed a finger at Ryuto, standing in front of the machine.

Following this, a well-dressed gentleman accompanied by two guards-like individuals approached.

Huh? What's going on?
