In Minamoto Tamako and Abe Rokuro's anticipation, Arima Toshio would, like in the movies, pull out a coin from his pocket, hang it with a string, and swing it back and forth in front of Akimoto Masahiko... But in reality, Arima Toshio didn't take out any props and instead started a conversation in a relaxed manner.
Akimoto Masahiko was happy to drag out the time, as the bet was limited to only three minutes. The two exchanged some trash talk about the bet, with Akimoto Masahiko dismissively stating 'only idiots get hypnotized.'
"Is that so?"
Arima Toshio looked around; the group was situated in the police station's conference room, some standing, some seated. He looked at each person for a few seconds, then said with a grin, "By that logic, you're the biggest idiot in this room."
"What did you say?" Akimoto Masahiko shouted with a clicking tongue.
