prof | Rudolf's Riddle: Miyoko Rika Satoko

That's right. Miyoko is supposed to be honest. So, once someone says that someone else is Miyoko, they can't be her.

So, since the middle one and the right one aren't Miyoko, the left one automatically is. And since Miyoko speaks the truth, then it's also true that the kid on the right is Satoko.

Which means that the only kid left, the one in the middle, is Rika. Perfect!

You solved it like it was nothing! Ange, you really are smart like your mom!

That's all for our puzzles.

Listen up, Ange. Life will lead you through countless puzzles. Eva is here to help you now, so it's okay to rely on her. However, you have to solve most problems in life by yourself. When that happens, you must remember the advice you've gotten from those who have helped you in the past.

Okay. I get it.

Eva. Take care of Ange.

Let's go, Ange. The game will be over soon.

I wonder what grandpa will give us for getting all these medals!

Me too. Still, we've already gotten a lot that's far more wonderful than that prize.

What do you mean?

We've all had a lot of fun talking to you like this, Ange.

I don't get it. You're weird.

I'm sorry. Let's go, then. Now, all that's left are the cousins and Beatrice, I guess.

I... wanted to take this to my grave. No, to hide it away in a cat box. If I just kept my mouth shut until tomorrow night, I'd be able to do that. It'd be easy.

Did you? Guess I still need more practice.

If it isn't about Ange, then who is it about? Not Asumu, surely...

It's about Battler.

That comes to the same thing. I've tried to behave as an adult towards Battler, right? Even though he's Asumu's son, I've tried to treat him the same as Ange. I do think of him as a child in your family, so don't worry.

He's not just a kid in our family. He's my kid and yours.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to let me draw the line here.

You didn't have a stillbirth. Asumu did. Back then, when I was double-timing the two of you, I got myself stuck and couldn't find a way out...

You don't mean... You don't mean...

I was better off financially back then. I was young, and I didn't give a damn about what lengths I went to. I threatened the hospital with money... and switched your kid with Asumu's.

That's why... I should be apologizing to all three of you. I forced Asumu to raise a kid that wasn't hers. That woman wasn't anywhere near as generous and accepting as she looked. There's a chance she figured it out. However, she raised Battler, who loved her as a mother, with all the affection she had.

Feel free to curse me. In fact, I couldn't complain if you killed me where I stood. That's how horrible my sin against you is. This is the secret I wanted to confess before the cat box closes over us.
