A list of enviable best friends, including Chief Superintendent Bald Qiang.

Page 45

"However, based on all the footage we have seen so far, there is absolutely no chance for the two of them to become friends, except for hatred, misunderstanding, and a relentless pursuit."

"So, what exactly is this opportunity?"

He wore an expression full of logical reasoning.

"Could it be... could it be this very person, the real mastermind behind it all, who suddenly appeared and is so powerful it's unreasonable?"

"You decide."

"This 'boss' kidnapped Dudu and even tried to kill Bald Qiang. His actions have seriously violated the laws of that world."

"And the Chief Superintendent of Police, as the highest enforcer of the law in that world, has the duty to capture this 'boss'."

"So, from this moment on, Bald Qiang and the Chief Inspector have a common, real enemy that must be defeated."

"what."

"Xiao Qi, you mean to say..."

"The story will then become... Mr. Bald Qiang and that Chief Superintendent of Police team up to defeat the worst big boss and then rescue the little girl Dudu?"

Yui Yuigahama gave a look of sudden realization.

"Yes."

"Only through this kind of '(ahad) battle' against a more powerful and absolute evil can the seemingly irreconcilable hatred between them be transformed into 'friendship' that they can entrust their backs to."

"So, could it be that the final outcome of this story is that Bald Qiang helps the Chief Inspector successfully defeat the 'boss' who kidnapped Dudu?"

"Then, to thank him and to reward his heroic act, the Superintendent of Police used his immense power to... suppress all the crimes he had committed before?"

Hachiman Hikigaya wore a confident expression, feeling that he had perfectly predicted the final outcome of the story.

"...Your reasoning, while sounding exciting, also aligns with the general logic of story creation."

"However, you have overlooked a very fundamental issue."

Yukino Yukinoshita, who had been silent all along, slowly opened her mouth, revealing a cold, realistic expression.

"The crimes that 'boss' committed were at most 'kidnapping,' 'attempted murder,' and 'illegally possessing heavy weapons.'"

"And what about Bald Qiang?"

"He carries a heavy burden of crimes, including arms trafficking, assaulting police officers, and many others, which could add up to a total sentence of up to two hundred years."

"Do you think that a country's highest law enforcement officer would simply wipe out a hundred times more serious crimes committed by a 'serious criminal' who helped him capture a 'kidnapper' just to reward him?"

"This does not conform to the most basic legal logic of any normal world."

"Therefore, your seemingly perfect ending is actually built on a completely invalid and contradictory foundation."

Yukinoshita's rebuttal was incisive and to the point, leaving the previously smug Hachiman Hikigaya speechless.

Big Monkey and Er Gou led Bald Qiang to a factory in the forest.

The building in the very center of the factory bears the markings of a fighter airship.

The world of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War

"……Wait a moment."

"The mark on that building..."

"It's the emblem from that huge airship that was floating above the clouds before."

"This factory... is not their usual hideout."

"It's... an arms factory."

Looking at the clear mark on the sky, Shirogane Miyuki revealed an unprecedented expression filled with shock and deep apprehension.

"...Before, we thought that 'boss' was just a mysterious arms dealer with huge funds who could buy the most top-of-the-line weapons from the international black market."

"Now it seems we were all wrong."

"That's completely wrong."

Kaguya Shinomiya's face also revealed the unique, cold solemnity characteristic of a top-tier conglomerate heiress when facing an unknown opponent of equal or even greater power lurking in the shadows.

“He wasn’t a ‘buyer’ at all.”

“He is the ‘seller’, the ‘producer’, and the top of the entire black market supply chain.”

"Capable of independently designing and manufacturing that level of combat airships, and those high-tech individual flying vehicles..."

"The technological strength, industrial base, and absolute financial resources possessed by this 'boss' are probably... comparable to the heyday of our Shinomiya Group."

“Even…it is even worse.”

Her voice was filled with the highest level of vigilance towards this unknown adversary.

"...So..."

"He not only has money, but he can also buy weapons."

"He himself is the source of those terrifying weapons."

"In the forests of that world, he established a massive, privately owned military factory, unregulated by the laws of any country..."

Yu Ishigami, who had been hiding in the corner, spoke the final conclusion in a dreamlike, fear-filled voice.

"This...this is no longer a terrorist..."

"This is...this is preparation for a real war..."

"Warlords..."

He wore a look of terror, feeling as if he were watching not a kidnapping video, but a prequel to a war documentary that could upend the world order.

The World of Boonie Bears - Security Department

"...military factory."

“A privately owned…military factory.”

In the command center, a veteran police officer with gray hair looked at the huge factory and the conspicuous airship mark on the sky, his expression filled with extreme anger and disbelief.

"According to our country's regulations."

"Except for the highest-level defense units authorized by the state."

"No organization or individual may, and will never, design, develop or manufacture any type or level of weapon without authorization."

"This is the highest level of treason!!!"

His voice trembled slightly with extreme anger. He felt that the most fundamental bottom line he had protected throughout his life as a law enforcement officer was being trampled on in the most arrogant way by the 'boss' in the celestial image.

"No wonder……"

"No wonder he has so many cutting-edge technologies that we have never heard of before."

"No wonder he was able to take out the Gatling gun and that huge airship so easily."

"So... so he didn't buy it from the black market at all."

"These terrifying weapons, enough to start a small war, were all made by him, one by one, right under our noses, in this forest we swore to protect."

The other officer had an expression of sudden realization, but also one of even greater fear.

“...lawless.”

"That's not enough to describe him."

The young chief inspector looked at the screen with an expression that was both weary and incredibly resolute.

"On the territory of our country."

"It falls within the jurisdiction of our security system."

"Openly establishing private, illegal military factories for war purposes..."

"He is not making a mistake."

"He wants to establish a country!!!"

He uttered those two words in an extremely cold and emotionless tone, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.

"He is trying to establish his own dark underground kingdom, independent of our national laws!"

Is the 44th boss seizing the inheritance in order to declare war on the entire country and establish a new regime?

[The scene shifts.]

Bald Qiang slowly opened his eyes from his unconscious state.

Before him stood a short man, but whose eyes were filled with a sinister glint.

The man smiled and said, "Hello, lumberjack."

[Bald Qiang glanced at Dudu, who was also tied up not far away, and said angrily, "Let her go! Don't you know this is kidnapping? This is illegal!"]

"Kidnapping? - Hahaha..."

The man referred to as "the boss" burst into laughter.

He pulled a faded, yellowed photograph from his pocket and threw it in front of Bald Qiang.

Bald Qiang asked in confusion, "What is this?"

The photo showed a kind-looking old man holding young Dudu in his arms, while the "boss" stood beside him.

The boss questioned, "If this little girl has any relatives in this world, it's me. The old man in the photo is my father. Unfortunately, he just passed away. And this little girl, Dudu, whom he adopted from the orphanage, is naturally my only family. Tell me, does this count as kidnapping?"

Bald Qiang pressed, "Then why did you arrest her?"

"I simply asked her to come back and take back what rightfully belonged to me."

The boss said through gritted teeth.

Bald Qiang was stunned: "Your...thing?"

"That's right. My property."

The boss, angry, drifted into his own memories.

In his memory, the old man was happily playing with young Dudu.

He rushed over and shouted, "What have you done? Why did you donate all my money to that damn orphanage? Why?"

Seeing this, the old man could only sigh helplessly.

Then he turned his wheelchair around, turning his back to his son.

The boss roared angrily, "No! You can't do this to me! I'm your own son! I'm the sole heir to all your wealth!"

"Those things don't belong to you."

The old man simply and gently pushed away the hand gripping the wheelchair.

Why? Why?

The boss roared in anguish as he reminisced.

The scene shifts back to reality.

Bald Qiang looked at him cautiously and said, "Um... I... I'm not your father."

【"Ahem..."】

The boss loosened his tie to ease the sudden awkwardness.

Then, he slowly walked up to Dudu, pointed at her, and said, "Later I realized that all of this was because of her."

"Beep beep?"

[Bald Qiang's expression changed slightly.]

"That's right. That old man secretly left her a huge inheritance, supposedly the most precious treasure of his life. He naively thought he could hide it from me, and even set up the vault so that only this brat could open it. Unfortunately for him, today, I will reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to me."

The boss clenched his fist and burst into maniacal laughter.
