It seems like he has to be anti Takezou (not trying with that kanji 
), maybe in league with Tatsuhiko? So perhaps Takezou had some plan to ‘take care of’ the problematic remaining family members, and Saegusa and Tatsuhiko are plotting to instead take down Takezou when he’s confronted with them…?
If that’s the case though it really doesn’t make sense to me where Shingyouji fits in though.
Shingyouji and Misao are an unexpected element in their plans, I guess – Saegusa seems to just want them out of the way until his scheme is complete.
(39-42). The still-unread part of the book is getting rapidly thinner…
Is it just me, or does this whole confrontation scene come across as super sus ?
Just finished through 42 as well and EXTREMELY SUS. Why does it feel like either Saegusa and Murashita are in cahoots, or Murashita’s got something up his sleeve? Like so far Sakaki is the only one I trust and this diversion is going to stop the bells from going off. Unless Sakaki and Saegusa planned something together and having Saegusa appear to threaten Sakaki is part of it…? Ahhh I don’t know!
Also (39-42) Murashita just said their amnesia was the “temporary unless you keep taking the drugs” kind. The theory so far was “these two were getting in the way, so zap their memories so they don’t cause any more problems”. Why would it be useful for him to give them only temporary amnesia?
Yeah that part made no sense at all. Like is something supposed to happen within a week that will make some big difference to him or…? I’m still not seeing how all the pieces fit.
