"what!"

"Oh no!"

"That police officer... he seems to have completely misunderstood!"

"When he saw Dudu bound with duct tape, he thought Mr. Bald Qiang was the kidnapper mentioned on the radio!"

Looking at the tense scene in the sky, Fujiwara Chika showed a very anxious expression.

"...The situation is indeed very bad."

"A man of unknown identity who looked rather suspicious."

"Inside the car, there was a Dudu bound up in a very unprofessional, even crude way, manner with yellow industrial tape."

"From the perspective of that chief police commissioner, all the objective evidence points perfectly to the only reasonable conclusion: 'Bald Qiang is the kidnapper.'"

"Now, Bald Qiang is completely finished."

Miyuki Shirogane wore an extremely solemn expression. With his genius-level intellect, he instantly analyzed the Chief Inspector's current judgment and came to the most pessimistic conclusion.

"Although the situation looks extremely unfavorable to him."

"However, in the end, this is just a huge misunderstanding caused by information asymmetry."

.. ... ....

"Although Mr. Bald Qiang is not very bright and his behavior is somewhat rude, his previous actions have proven that he had no intention of harming the girl."

"He even used a seatbelt and duct tape to restrain her. This seemingly rough behavior was actually motivated by the fundamental reason that Dudu was moving around in the car and causing danger."

"So, as long as he can calm down and explain the whole story to the Commissioner General in a proper and organized manner."

"This misunderstanding should be able to be cleared up."

Kaguya Shinomiya wore a rational and confident expression, believing that any problem could be solved through logic and effective communication.

"……explain?"

"Really... is it possible to explain it so smoothly?"

"The other party was a policeman who had been completely blinded by rage, and he was holding a gun that was already pointed at him..."

"And Bald Qiang is a hapless guy who becomes incoherent when he's nervous, and whose brain works faster than his mouth..."

"I...I have a feeling that things definitely won't go that smoothly..."

Hiding in the corner, Ishigami Yu muttered to himself, revealing his signature pessimistic expression, deeply worried about how things would unfold.

...

The World of Crayon Shin-chan

"Ouch."

“Look at that gentleman, he’s really angry, really angry.”

"That's true. Anyone would be angry if their car's rearview mirror was damaged in an accident, and they were treated like an idiot and made to run around like a fool."

"The two of them, no matter how you look at it, seem like natural enemies, whose fates are incompatible."

Misae looked at the two men on the screen, their expressions a complex mix of sympathy for the Chief Inspector and a sense of pity for Bald Qiang.

"Yes."

"They were saying they were 'best friends' in front of the canopy, really."

"Look at the two of them, when they see each other, they're like mice seeing a cat, so scared they can't even speak."

"The other one, upon seeing the other, wishes he could immediately drag him into the police station and lock him up for life."

"If we could become friends, I could become the boss of the company tomorrow."

Hiroshi took a sip of beer and revealed a completely indifferent expression, full of the realistic sensibilities of a working-class person.

"Oh~"

"That bald uncle is being pointed at by a policeman with a black gun!"

"The girl was bound up with yellow tape, looking like a huge caterpillar!"

"The policeman's eyebrows are even angrier than before; they're practically flying off his face!"

"Dynamic light wave, biu~biu~biu~"

Shin-chan wore an expression that found the scene before him extremely amusing, completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere that was about to explode.

"So."

"That chief inspector could never be Bald Qiang's close friend, could he?"

"The two of them could absolutely, absolutely never become close friends."

Misae looked at the screen, her expression one of final, resolute determination.

The close interaction between the 35th Chief Superintendent and Bald Qiang

He immediately recalled the urgent announcement he had just heard on the car radio about a city-wide search for missing children.

[And, as he saw, the photo of the missing child attached to the report.]

The little girl in that photo looks exactly like the child in front of us, bound hand and foot—it's Dudu from Bald Qiang's car.

"No...no, officer, you've misunderstood. How could I possibly be a kidnapper?"

Baldy Qiang was shocked and quickly waved his hands to explain.

The chief inspector shouted sternly, "Look at her, bound hand and foot! What is this if not kidnapping? Put your hands up!"

"Officer, I really didn't do it! Please let me explain, I'll untie her right now!"

In his haste, Bald Qiang reached out to tear off the tape covering Dudu's body.

"I'll say it again. Put your hands up."

The chief inspector raised his voice and pounded heavily on the car window with the muzzle of his gun.

"Oh dear, this tape is so strong, I can't untie it. Use this, yes. A knife."

In a moment of desperation, Bald Qiang grabbed a small knife from the side, intending to cut open the tape binding Dudu's body.

But when the chief inspector saw him draw his knife, his expression changed drastically. He immediately raised his gun, aimed it at Bald Qiang again, and shouted a warning: "Put the knife down right now. Hurry up!"

"Officer, please let me explain, please really let me explain!"

[Bald Qiang hurriedly raised his knife and said anxiously.]

The Superintendent didn't waste any more words with him, but quickly turned on his shoulder radio: "Is this headquarters? We've found a kidnapped child, and the suspect is right in front of me, '267'."

Upon hearing this, Bald Qiang panicked even more: "Listen to me, officer, it really wasn't me."

The chief inspector saw that he was still holding a knife and was very agitated.

He immediately became alert, took a few steps back, and said, "What do you want? Are you trying to assault a police officer?"

[A voice from headquarters came through the walkie-talkie: "Headquarters received. Please report the details and respond."]

The Chief Superintendent immediately replied, "The situation has changed. The suspect is extremely unstable and is armed with an offensive weapon, posing a serious threat to the safety of the hostages..."

[At the very moment he spoke.]

[Dudu, tied to her seat, opened her little mouth in fear and bit the hand of Bald Qiang holding the knife.]

[In pain, Bald Qiang loosened his grip, and the knife slipped from his hand.]

The knife traced an arc through the air, landing squarely on the chief inspector's head.

A sharp pain shot through his forehead. The superintendent's pupils contracted slightly in shock. He immediately roared into the walkie-talkie, "The suspect has attacked me! Requesting immediate backup! Repeat, requesting immediate backup!"

[The urgent response from headquarters immediately came through the walkie-talkie: "Headquarters received. Provide support immediately."]

The World of The King's Avatar

"...It's over."

"This is really the end."

"It's completely over."

"It's hopeless, just wait to die. Goodbye."

Looking at the series of misunderstandings on the sky that could be described as "disastrous," Huang Shaotian revealed an expression of utter despair, as if he had given up thinking and had no will to live.

“I had thought of countless possibilities before, wondering if he would rely on some earth-shattering operation, or if his best friend would suddenly appear out of nowhere and resolve the crisis.”

"The results of it?"

"With his suicidal speed, which is comparable to my hand speed, he gradually led himself to his doom."

"First he pulled out a knife, then he assaulted a police officer, and finally he fucking threw the knife at the head of the police chief."

"Now that's settled. The kidnapper, the hostage-taker with a knife, and the police officer with violence—three major offenses in total—have been caught red-handed with irrefutable evidence."

"If that chief commissioner catches him, I reckon there's no need for a trial; he'll be lucky to be shot on the spot."

"Those two...became close friends?"

"Damn, if we could become best friends, Han Wenqing and I could become sworn brothers on the spot and open a barbecue stand together."

"These are mortal enemies, locked in a life-or-death struggle!"

Huang Shaotian's speech became somewhat disordered due to extreme shock and speechlessness.

"……Do not."

"This is no longer a simple 'misunderstanding'."

"This is a perfect 'desperate situation' that is formed by countless coincidences and cannot be explained by any logic."

Yu Wenzhou, who had been silent all along, now wore an extremely solemn expression, his eyes filled with deep apprehension at this cruel twist of fate.

"You see, every action of Bald Qiang is reasonable, or even well-intentioned, from his own perspective."

"He wanted to explain, he wanted to untie the tape, he wanted to prove his innocence."

“But these actions were perfectly interpreted as ‘threatening hostages’ and ‘violent resistance to law enforcement’ from the perspective of the superintendent of Police, who was full of vigilance and anger.”

"The two of them are like living in two completely different worlds, having a nonsensical and fatal conversation."

"This is no longer a problem that can be solved by 'explanation'."

"hehe."

"That's what makes it so interesting."

"A kidnapper who has been driven to the brink of death and is guilty of unforgivable crimes."

"A 'Chief Superintendent' who has been blinded by anger and humiliation and holds the power of life and death."

"Under these circumstances, what kind of incredible events will they have to go through to finally become 'best friends' who can entrust their lives to each other?"

Ye Xiu slowly exhaled a smoke ring, revealing a smile full of anticipation and amusement at the unknown plot.

"This game was much more exciting than the last second of our Glory finals."

The World of Eromanga Sensei

"Ah ah ah ah ah."

"Oh no, oh no, Izumi-sensei!"

"That bald man, he... he was mistaken for a kidnapper."

"He's going to be arrested by that really fierce policeman."

As Yamada Elf watched the rapidly unfolding plot on the screen, she showed a very anxious expression, shaking Izumi Masamune's arm incessantly.

"He...he's so pitiful."

"He just wanted to take the little girl to the police station, but he was treated like a bad guy."

"He tried to explain, but the more he explained, the more confusing it became."
