#3rd liar

DOUBT PART

Next day MC meets Hime-chan at the hospital, she’s still wearing a mask and MC figures that she’s been unwell since her travels.

MC says that when Hime-chan is suffering she wants to be able to help, but she denies being ill or that anything is wrong. MC then asks her to explain her lie.

Pick evidence to show that Hime-chan didn’t go to the onsen

Onsen manju

MC points out that yesterday she received strawberry daifuku that can only be bought from the shop outside the hospital. The onsen manju she received from Hime-chan has the same shop name on it. MC says that she must have bought it so that they would believe she went to the onsen.

Hime-chan: Ummm… oh! Actually I forgot to buy souvenirs for everyone so I bought that. Sorry, I didn’t mean to lie about it.

MC: I saw your FF post the day you went to the onsen, this part is a little strange though don’t you think?

What part is strange about Hime-chan’s FF post?

A.      Date

B.      Place

C.      Birthday date

Answer: B

MC: If you look carefully at the post, the location is tagged as Santa Monica. You actually went to USA didn’t you?

Hime-chan hesitates, before admitting she did. When MC pushes her to answer why she lied she said she didn’t want others to be jealous as they would be working while she’s travelling. MC says there’s more that she’s lying about though.

What else is Hime-chan lying about?

A.      She’s working hard on her diet

B.      She lived in Fukuoka during her 20s

C.      The song was popular when she was in her 20s

Answer: C

MC points out that Hime-chan said Valentine Kiss was popular when Hime-chan was in her 20s, but that song was a hit in the 80s. Hime-chan says it was so long ago she doesn’t remember. MC asks if Hime-chan is really just lying about her age and:

Hime-chan isn’t happy about that! She insists she is 30.

MC: But if the song was popular in your 20s then that would make you 50 someth-

Hime-chan: STOP!!! If you say anymore I will be pissed!!

MC accuses Hime-chan of not only lying about her age, but her name as well. Your real name is Toyama Nobu, right?

Hime-chan declines knowing anyone with that name.

Pick evidence that shows Hime-chan is Toyama Nobu

Passport Copy

MC asks if the copy that was dropped belongs to Hime-chan. She denies it, again saying she doesn’t know who that is and her name is Reiko Himeno. However, MC points out that the birthday on that copy says February 11th, the same day as Hime-chan’s birthday. Hime-chan deflects by saying it’s likely coincidence.

At this point Hime-chan is breathing heavily. MC stares at the copy once more and realises something.

FINAL CHOICE

Pick evidence that definitively shows they are the same person

Photo of recipe

MC: The note you wrote is in this photo. (Note: this next part is kind of hard to explain but I’ll try..) Hime-chan has a habit, where she write the 土 portion of words as 士 (bottom stroke should be longer). In the passport copy, the kanji 遠 that makes up part of the name has the 土 up top but has been written as 士  which is the same way Hime-chan would write it and therefore proves they are the same person.

Hime-chan is angry and starts calling out MC (about being young and knowing nothing) and calling her a b##ch lol. MC wants her to calm down and go for a health check up.

Hime-chan: LIKE. I. SAID. I’m not ill!!!

MC says that she recognises the effort Hime-chan puts into her beauty but with age there is increasing risk with different kinds of illnesses. Hime-chan is offended, saying that since MC is so young she wouldn’t understand and she won’t allow her to meddle any further.

MC tells her to wake up and

*SLAP*

Hime-chan falls to the floor and:

Σ(゜ロ゜;) !!!

Hime-chan screams. MC asks if she’s had plastic surgery and she denies it saying she hasn’t changed since “that time.” Hime-chan falls, and MC is alarmed, covering her mask back up for her and takes her to see Ichimura-sensei.

MC is on her way home, Hime-chan has regained consciousness again and has been admitted to hospital. MC never thought it would be plastic surgery (side effects) rather than a serious illness. Ichimura-sensei says that Hime-chan needs treatment, and her condition would have worsened had MC not brought her in.

When MC returns home:

Tokiwa-kun: MC, who’s that? They have a really ominous aura.

It’s Okura, who MC is surprised to see. He is moving into the share house.
