Just as Ryuto was so perplexed and unsure about what to do.

"Come to think of it, I forgot to mention one thing, and that is about the person who instigated those terrorists."

Katsuragi Reimi's voice suddenly interjected.

"The person who instigated those guys?"

Claire Creis Klairia muttered in surprise.

"Well, the reason why we took the initiative to capture those terrorists who occupied the TV station is largely to try to extract the identity of that person from them, after all, those terrorists obviously only did such things because they were deceived by someone."

"Yes, from the facts, they all seem to have been treated as pawns in the end, otherwise the TV station would not have been blown up."

"Oh, the reason the TV station was blown up was because of that person, and, if I'm not mistaken, that person originally planned to do so."

"Originally?"

"Yes, after all, we never saw the mastermind from start to finish, and the explosives were already set up, without those terrorists knowing..."

"So, based on their reactions, they indeed seemed clueless about the explosion."

Claire Creis Klairia nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, that's right, that person originally planned to blow up the TV station, there's no doubt about that."

"So what was the point of that?"

"For what? Clearly to cover their tracks."

"Cover their tracks? Is it us?"

"No, although that was also the intention, the main target wasn't you?"

"Then..."

"Simply put, his goal was to silence those terrorists."

"What? The terrorists? No, that's impossible... those people are his subordinates, right? Why would he do that?"

Claire Creis Klairia clearly couldn't believe it, just murmuring in confusion.

"Well, that may be true, but in any case, those terrorists will eventually be caught, and if that happens, the identity of their mastermind will be exposed. To prevent that from happening, all he has to do is blow them all up, regardless of whether those people succeed or fail... And..."

"And?"

"Yes, this way, he can also shift the blame onto you."

"Blame us?"

"After all, no one knows how the bombs were detonated, so all it takes is to spread rumors afterward, suggesting that it was due to police mishandling that the terrorists were forced to detonate, or directly say that the police used bombs during the operation, accidentally resulting in the entire building being blown up and so on. Although there are many ways to explain it, without exception, the ultimate blame will fall on you."

"...So why would the other party do this?"

"Yes, the blame shifted onto you will eventually be transferred to your Holy Heir, as speaking of Holy Heir meaning your leader is not entirely inaccurate. And in this situation, people usually only focus on the most prominent person, the one in the highest position of power, meaning that all the blame will ultimately be on Holy Heir's shoulders, even if you try to defend yourselves later, it will be futile."

Although Katsuragi Reimi made a very reasonable argument, Claire Creis Klairia seemed skeptical.

"But these are just rumors after all, as long as they are confirmed later..."
