Murder in the House of Magic
[00:04.15] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[00:04.40] I shall share with you all a frightening story
[00:07.90] Set in a deserted amusement park in Shibuya
[00:09.65] This House of Magic became home to a murder case
[00:12.40] Long ago, people would flock to it throughout the night
[00:16.39] Containing a number of maze-like rooms
[00:18.40] Filled to the brim with various and illusions
[00:20.65] Once the door was closed
[00:22.15] It became impossible for anyone to escape within the allotted time limit
[00:25.65] And a wicked criminal took advantage of that fact
[00:34.40] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[00:34.66] What a shame, I'm sorry to hear that guy is dead
[00:35.41] But I only came here last night to return the money I borrowed
[00:36.65] He was the one who chose the place
[00:38.65] Because our usual spot was too crowded
[00:40.65] We agreed to meet at 8 PM
[00:43.16] He was taking too long to show, so I decided to go in first
[00:45.65] While taking pictures in the maze room
[00:47.15] I heard the door lock behind me
[00:50.40] But look, the clock on the wall says 20:20
[00:54.65] Is what my camera saw not enough of an alibi for you?
[00:59.15] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[00:59.65] The victim was buried on the beach in Chiba
[01:01.39] His time of death is estimated to be around 8:30 PM
[01:04.65] While investigating, I dug a hole and traveled between there and the House of Magic
[01:09.15] You're right, something here just doesn't make sense...
[01:10.40] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[01:10.90] Up an down, playing the fool
[01:11.90] Beating out even the smartest guy in the room
[01:14.15] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[01:14.40] I'll find out who you are, I'll cover your crimes
[01:16.40] Inevitably everything comes into light
[01:17.39] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[01:17.65] Uh! (Ah!) Uh! Uh! (Ah!)
[01:18.90] Who's the mastermind here, me or you?
[01:20.40] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[01:20.66] Uh! (Ah!) Uh! Uh! (Ah!)
[01:22.15] You can't run from my questions with flimsy lies
[01:23.65] There's no escape, you can't slip away
[01:24.65] A lifetime sentence for the life that you took
[01:25.65] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[01:26.90] A fortune made, no effort required
[01:29.90] I'll rake it all in and say goodbye
[01:30.65] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[01:30.90] Uh! (Ah!) Uh! Uh! (Ah!)
[01:31.89] The truth emerging in the portrait portrayed
[01:33.40] ---(Gentaro Yumeno & Dice Arisugawa)---
[01:33.90] Uh! (Ah!) Uh! Uh! (Ah!)
[01:35.14] Can you figure out where the exit might be?
[01:37.15] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[01:38.15] Sure, I owed him money, but he was the one drowning in grudges
[01:39.89] If we wanna talk for hypotheticals, at least
[01:41.64] Even if you suspect it was me, how're you gonna prove it?
[01:43.65] Once you're inside, it's hard to get outta that mirror of mazes, do you wanna try?
[01:48.15] Eventually at dawn, someone came along to rescue me
[01:52.15] I mean, there's no way I could have possibly committed the crime considering that
[01:55.65] Most importantly, there's no denying that the clock hanging there for the time limit
[02:00.40] Reads 20:20, it's clear as day
[02:02.15] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[02:02.65] Would you mind showing that picture again, please?
[02:05.15] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[02:05.40] Hah? It's on my phone, look as much as you like
[02:07.16] It won't prove anything
[02:08.65] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[02:08.90] And you're certain the time in this selfie you took reads 20:20?
[02:11.90] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[02:12.40] Yup! So, am I free to go now?
[02:14.40] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[02:14.65] Incidentally, it seems the clock has a seven segment display
[02:16.90] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[02:17.39] S-Seven-something what? That's way too hard to pronounce
[02:18.90] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[02:19.64] It means the clock's face is digital, not analog
[02:20.90] What's this? The position of this mole seems to be reversed
[02:24.89] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[02:25.41] W-Well, so what?
[02:26.15] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[02:26.65] It seems you have left some evidence behind after all
[02:34.90] Now I'm sure those of you paying attention have already realized
[02:39.15] It turns out the trick was actually a rather simple one
[02:41.90] Even the best liar can lose control of the narrative they have sown
[02:45.40] I suppose it must be difficult to maintain in the face of proof
[02:48.90] In the end, it was the mirror that uncovered everything
[02:51.65] You were in the room filled with mirrors within the House of Magic
[02:56.15] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[02:56.40] Y-Yeah, and—?
[02:57.14] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[02:57.40] Not even you can hide a mole that's been flipped from left to right
[02:59.15] In other words, the time could not have possible been 8:20 PM
[03:02.15] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[03:02.65] What?!
[03:03.41] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[03:03.65] You see, some numbers are symmetrical when put against a reflective surface
[03:06.40] For example, 1 remains 0, 0 is 0, 8 is 8
[03:07.90] But in front of a mirror, the number 2 becomes something else entirely
[03:09.65] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[03:10.15] Shit!
[03:12.90] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[03:13.15] In a mirror, 2 turns into 5
[03:15.15] Your photo was taken at 5:05, hours after the crime
[03:18.65] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[03:19.16] Up an down, playing the fool
[03:20.40] Beating out even the smartest guy in the room
[03:21.90] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[03:22.40] I'll find out who you are, I'll cover your crimes
[03:23.40] Inevitably everything comes into light
[03:25.15] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[03:25.65] Uh! (Ah!) Uh! Uh! (Ah!)
[03:26.91] Who's the mastermind here, me or you?
[03:28.41] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[03:28.66] Uh! (Ah!) Uh! Uh! (Ah!)
[03:30.16] You can't run from my questions with flimsy lies
[03:31.66] There's no escape, you can't slip away
[03:33.15] A lifetime sentence for the life that you took
[03:34.90] ---(Dice Arisugawa)---
[03:35.15] A fortune made, no effort required
[03:37.15] I'll rake it all in and say goodbye
[03:38.15] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[03:38.65] Uh! (Ah!) Uh! Uh! (Ah!)
[03:39.89] The truth emerging in the portrait portrayed
[03:41.40] ---(Gentaro Yumeno & Dice Arisugawa)---
[03:42.65] Uh! (Ah!) Uh! Uh! (Ah!)
[03:43.90] Can you figure out where the exit might be?
[03:45.65] ---(Gentaro Yumeno)---
[03:46.15] So, how was that?
[03:47.39] Did you enjoy my story, "Murder at the House of Magic"
[03:49.90] About a man unable to replay his debts on time?
[03:54.89] One should always be honest in front of a mirror
[03:56.40] Of course, in the end, that was all nothing but a lie
