"If we can already conclude this, why is no one making a move?"
Kirigiri put down the knife and fork, and asked while holding her
arms.

"Because all of this is just speculation. Also– even if the vanished
Triple-Zero rank former detective is the chairman, no one would
dare to get close to them."

"Why?"

I asked.

"There are some gaps in this world that can’t be filled with time,
money or talent. This is the gap between us and the Triple-Zero
rank. Let’s say they have fallen to becoming criminals, then we
need to take national-level countermeasures. This is not a joke,
but a real fact. This is not a matter we can influence."

This is undoubtedly a declaration of admitting defeat.

To me, Nanamura is an unreachable Double-Zero rank, and he is
also a very prideful person, yet even he easily admitted defeat.
Is the opponent I want to challenge far beyond my imagination...
