Nijuu Mensou no Musume 16: The Detective Girls’ Most Complex Case Yet!

OSHI-

What shall the Detective Girls do now?!

Kaito = useless. That’s the only thing I’ve thought about her character for a while and I have a bad feeling that it’ll be that way all the way until the end of the series. Anyway, after the lulz of the last episode, it’s nice to see that the show hadn’t just decided to completely discard the Twenty Faces plotline, which is still interesting in its own right (despite Twenty Faces being such a tease).

He’s slowly being portrayed as more of an antagonist as the series goes on, a manipulative person doing things solely for his own gain. The old man talked of people becoming enchanted with him only to have misfortune befall them later; and this is certainly be true of both the White-Haired Devil and Chiko. And the entire Twenty Faces troupe as well (who now that I think about it could’ve done with a little more developement). But it would be irrational just to go and believe some random old man’s words without some sort of evidence so Chiko will have to use her watching, listening and thinking skills to deduce the truth of this situation. What’s interesting is the different views we got from Twenty Faces burning down of the laboratory; whereas frmo the White-Haired Devil’s point of view he did it to stop research he believed would lead to deadly weapons being made, the old man claims it was due to Twenty Faces wanting to keep it all to himself. But would he really continue the research just to create another disaster like the old man spoke of?

Chiko’s decision to follow Twenty Faces yet again comes as a bit of a shock to me, especially when she made this resolution earlier:

But due to his importance to her, it’s pretty logical. Not sure how she feels about being used as a decoy, though, if Twenty Faces really wanted to go into hiding, this would be one of the best ways to do so. Speaking of which, Twenty Faces mentioned the “fourth state of water” and within the poem it claims that Men “turn water into light”. Coincedence? I think not. The poem will have later importance in the story, methinks.

Also introducing White-Haired Devil Mk II, he truly did hax Chiko and I wish to see more fights between the two. Although as to how “role is over” I have no idea.

OH NOES WHATEVER SHALL WE DO?!

Or woman is fine too.

“Woman” read “Tome”.

Blushing Chiko = Yuri Chance.

Introducing Twenty Faces’ circus harem.

Forget Engrish, Flench is much funnier.

Tome, the eternal meido no matter where she is.

Just be glad he isn’t eating the house itself.

This could be the big break we’ve been waiting for!

You been trying to figure out if a sordid love affair is going on between your teachers isn’t justice?!

Well I’ll be damned…

Just step into my car, we can head to my house have some sex, I mean, a short talk.

An old man wanting desparately to talk to a young girl in school uniform.

Can’t be anything wrong with that, right?

Dojikko Meido Tome?

Counts as weekly Tome-service :3.
