4★ Lance Tendo - A Challenge from Q (Part 4) [BLUE ATTRIBUTE]

Part 4 has two episodes. The ending of this episode will be different from Part 4 (Yellow Attribute)

Lance: Phew.... I guess that's that.

Club owner: T-thank you for your help, mister!

Lance: Don't mention it. But, can I have a look inside the room at the back?

Club owner: Well, of course!

Noah: (There's a Chaostone somewhere around here... huh?)

Lance: .....

Noah: Lance?

Lance: ... Sorry, Noah. But could you please retrieve the Chaostone from inside instead?

Noah: Huh? I don't mind but...

Lance: Thanks, I'll leave it to you then.

Noah: (He's so obsessed with the challenge against Q... But why?
No, now's not that time for that!)

[—Inside the Club]

T-this is!

a group of... cats?

Cat: Meow!

Meow! Meow!

Noah: What's that? The cat is holding something.... A Chaostone?!?

Why's a cat playing with a Chaostone....?

Cat: Meeoww!

Noah: Anyways, I have to collect the Chaostone. Here, good kitty... got it.

[—At the Back Alley]

Noah: Lance! I got the Chaostone!

Lance: !

Cat: Meow!

Lance: ehhh...

Noah: ?

Lance: I thought maybe it would have been fine if it was just one or two... But I was wrong.... Achuu!

Noah: Huh?! Wait a minute?! Lance!

Lance: Achuu! Achuu!

Noah: Are you... allergic to cats?!

Sorry! I need to leave!

Cat: Meooww!

Noah: Sorry, I didn't realize that you were allergic to cats....

Lance: No, it's alright. Moreover, thanks for retrieving the Chaostone.

Noah: Yeah. So.... you already know the truth behind this incident, right? Could you please explain?

Lance: Right. First question I wondered was how did Q knew Kotori-chan?

When I met Kotori-chan, she told me it was the first time she has met me. Which led me to believe that Q and her are not acquainted.

And when I checked how my room was this morning...

I noticed the computer and game controller scattered on my bed.

Based on this, I thought it's likely that Q and Kotori-chan met through the internet or in a game somewhere other than real life.

It's Q after all. He probably heard about the Chaostone from Kotori-chan and tracked down her identity through hacking.

And then it led to this place---

It's easy to overlook lost items when you're busy dancing at the club. And from my research, the owner of this club is a cat lover.

Here, take a look at the owner's SNS profile.

Noah: Woah, it's filled with cat pictures.

Lance: And there's a lot of cats in the Entertainment District.

If a something like a Chaostone was dropped at a club where a lot of cats come and go, I thought it's likely they'll start playing with it.

After all, cats like to play with shiny things.

Noah: If Q already knew about this from the start. Then why didn't he retrieve the stone himself....?

Lance: That's the tricky part about Q. He's never straightforward.

He probably knew that I was allergic to cats andd set me up on this challenge.

Even if I already solved the mystery behind this case, the question whether I'll be able to retrieve the Chaostone still remained.

Noah: Haha... What a troublesome relationship you got there.

Lance: It's infuriating to say the least, but Q wins this challenge.

It's a shame that Q kept me in this challenge up until the very end.

Noah: But, I haven't done anything...

Lance: Even though I lost the challenge against Q. I was able safely retrieve the Chaostone

It's thanks to your courage that everyone was left unharmed. You're a huge help.

... After all, you're our agent.

Noah: Huh....?

Lance: It's nothing, well then. See you around!
