Suo's Eyepatch

Kalego: Iruma, some of the staff and I have noticed several inconsistencies that point to—

Iruma, panicking: It was my parents, not grampa, please leave him out of this.

Kalego: ...

Kalego, snapping his neck to look at Iruma: Explain. NOW.

Iruma, internally: Crap...

...

Kalego: It's a little weird that it took rigorous studying for you to actually do well. One would assume that the chair demon gave you at least a basic education (he's annoying, but not—).

Iruma, who's zoned out: My parents never sent me to school.

Kalego, staring at Iruma: ...

Kalego: What.

Iruma, who just realized what he said: Crap...

...

Balam: Iruma, Kalego is concerned that you're smaller than a few of your peers and have difficulty regulating your anxiety.

Iruma, looking at the ceiling: I ate a lot of grass.

Balam: ...

Kalego, who is in the room: ...

Kalego, furious: You ate WHAT, you damn brat?!

Iruma, panicking: Shit—

For context, Sakura, Nirei and Sugishita disguised themselves as a student band in hopes of catching the mastermind who had been targetting and attacking the music festival participants. What they didn't expect or know beforehand was that Suo had been planning to make a fake stage one week before the actual festival starts so that no civilian were actually hurt. (Something something, Suo being the strategist and the group's brain and heart.....)

His plan worked, btw.

Nirei was in shock and Sakura asked why he didn't tell them earlier, to which Suo replied:

"To deceive an enemy, you need to start with your allies."

.......... Suo.

I'm shaking you and asking you to answer properly. Is Bofurin your enemy, or your ally now?

Nirei is your ally, right? The man who would defend you for life even in front of his doubting friends. That's why you need to deceive him first, right?

That's why you need to deceive Sakura and all of Bofurin, right? Because you know if you went to say goodbye to Sakura or anyone else, but Sakura specifically, it would break your resolve of leaving Bofurin, right?

Is Red Chanpuru your allies too? Is the real enemy the syatemic, outside problem that's encroaching Bankoku-Gai?

What are your intentions??????

The payoff of this arc would be so good, this is the face of the fakest idgafer at the moment, btw.

the reactions to this arc r sooo….. sigh.

guys. sakura is having a hard time because one of the first friends he’s ever made apparently didn’t even fully go to bofurin (the place that has given him a home before anywhere else) and lives 2 hrs away as an officer for another gang. not because suo is his boyfriend.

ik not everyone is saying this but ive seen that a lot of people are and im sure some lf it is lighthearted but it still pisses me off. IF ONE OF MY FIRST FRIENDS RANDOMLY LEFT ME WITH NO WORD AND BEAT UP MY OTHER FRIEND ON HIS WAY OUT I WOULD BE PRETTY HEARTBROKEN TOO????
