Hahari suddenly confesses to Rentarou, surprising Rentarou and shocking Karane. She quickly rerails the discussion, deciding to subject Rentarou to a Lie Detector test, hoping to prove his insincerity to Hakari. Rentarou, however, sees it as a chance to prove his sincerity to Hahari. But first, he asks Hahari to prove the machine can be trusted. To this end, Hahari subjects Karane to the machine first, since she's the only person present who can provide an objective assessment.
The machine demonstrates its effectiveness when Karane hems and haws an answer about her bust size, and demonstrates the degree of truth needed to pass when Karane is asked if she likes Rentarou and has to answer with a Title Drop. Despite the machine's strength, Rentarou passes the "pest trial" with flying colors.
As Hahari attempts to dismiss the results of the interrogation, a maid bursts into the chamber and informs Hahari that her daughter is trying to jump out the window. Karane immediately takes Hahari hostage and orders Rentarou to rescue Hakari. As he leaves to find Hakari, Hahari tries to drag herself to her daughter's room with Karane trying to hold her back.
Tropes
- Blood from the Mouth: Rentarou collapses to the floor and starts spewing blood when Karane says that she likes him and the Lie Detector registers her answer as false. He only recovers when she says that she really, really, really, really, really loves him more than anything else in the world and the machine registers her answer as true.
- Eye Pop: Karane does one when Hahari tries to dismiss the results of the machine.
- I Will Wait for You: Karane vows that she will wait for Rentarou to come back for her forever.
- Time Skip: The chapter skips the questions Hahari asks Rentarou, and just shows his answers.
- Villainous BSoD: After the interrogation backfires, Hahari attempts to dismiss the results as the Lie Detector being a machine.
