p.18
[none]


p.19
Ageha: Thank you very much for inviting me, your Excellency.

Hey, Miyahara Rinko-san.
How good of you to come.


p.20
Box: 41st prime minister of the Galactic Alliance government, Chris Closet.

Chris: I consider it an honor to meet you.


p.21
Chris: I look forward to the announcements of the Galaxy film awards every year.
I may look like this, but I’m a former actor.

Rinko: Yes! I’ve seen all of the films your Excellency has appeared in.
Chris: Oh,
Thank you for that.

Rinko: I thought you were wonderful!
SFX: ha ha ha
Chris: As expected of an Oscar actress. Your acting is superb.
Rinko: No! I mean it!

I wonder what this unnatural feeling is......


p.22
The prime minister’s smile. Deep down his eyes aren’t laughing.

Chris: By the way, Rinko-san,
Chris: So you know Saki?

...!!

Yes!
I’ve never met her, but she was an actress I really liked.
Chris: Actually, me too.

Chris: That’s why I truly felt surprised when I saw your makeup at the awards ceremony.
I had thought Saki came back to life or something.
Ageha: I’m very sorry.
Chris: How was the response?

Ageha: ?


p.23
Chris: ......
Chris: Were there any messages from Saki’s fans or acquaintances?

What was that just now?
Ageha: ...No, nothing in particular.
Chris: That’s great.
You shouldn’t use that look anymore.

Ageha: Wh- why would that be?

Chris: The death row convict Ageha who killed Saki at still at large, after all.
Chris: If you were to provoke her without meaning to...


p.24
Chris: You may be targeted next.

It’s an act......!!


p.25
He’s not worried for me in the slightest.
In fact, bloodlust!? Like he’d kill if I step into a forbidden area......

Aaah......!!


p.26-27
The myriad of pieces of evidence and testimonies that I don’t recognize.
The death sentenced for me, who was innocent.

It was an unreasonable trial, but it all makes sense instead if you think of it as being rigged by someone.
And the one who can set something like that up is—


p.28-29
For example, him, the most powerful person!!


p.30
Chris: Hm?
Are you okay?
Chris: You look a little unwell...

Ageha: I...I’m sorry,
I’m...... a little dizzy...
This is the worst.

There’s no way I can stand up to him.
It’s too bad of an opponent.*
