True Rejection vs Motte and Bailey.

Whenever you change your objection, I change my argument.

Old: Mai Waifu

Bold: Mai Fling

Loxley: Leave off studying the Necronomicon and instead study... The Economicon.

Alice: So every time we get paid... the peasants got shaken down.

Loxley: Exactly!

Bob: How did you come by such learning? I'm a bit of a scholar myself, and I've never heard of such things.

Loxley: if you wish to know more, set aside your time of spirit binding.

Bob: We don't work for the king!

Loxley: But you do work for Morgan Le Fay, court enchantress. Why else would you seek the swamp?

Alice: It's an honest paid job. No peasant oppressing involved.

Loxley: Not so! Morgan's pay comes from the king, whose wealth comes from taxes.

Thug: Not so! You do the king's bidding, oppressing the peasants with backbreaking taxes.

Alice: And you help the poor?

Thug: Yes, for I am Loxley the Lethal, and my band of Merry Men rob from the rich and give to the poor!

Alice: You need to get better branding.

* Fifty years later *

Alice: Which swamp is it again?

Bob: Let me check the map.

* suddenly, an armed band of thugs leaps out from the bush *

Thug: Stand and deliver, villains!

Alice: Villains? Nay! We are but simple travelers who seek the swamp that lays beyond these woods.

Morgan: I can solve your problem with my magic.

Mordred: At what price?

Morgan: I want to be court wizard and get funding for my magical research. When I run out of swamp toad bile, I want to be able to pay enthusiastic youths to get it for me.

Mordred: Seems like a bargain.

My brother just put his toddler down for a nap and my response is jealousy:

I'd like to take a nap.

... and they've been hypnotised by Twelfth. Information about the future is worthless if it's false.

Gasai figures it out, but also believes Sixth is poisoning Amano against her.

She give him an ultimatum: come with me and live, or stay with Sixth and die.

Ninth has been captured by a cult. The leader is Sixth, Kasugano Tsubaki.

She has a Dead End showing in her diary. She wants to trade Ninth for Amano's help avoiding it. He's dodged two already.

The problem is that Sixth's diary shows what her cult does...

Why does she have dead bodies (mummies?) in her spare room?

Amano flees, but it's not like he can really get away. She knows everything he does, after all.

His opening of this door changes everyone's future.

Old: Spirit Murder

Bold: Ghost Busting

Fourth's name is Kurusu Keigo.

(Gasai is Second.)

Amano and Gasai go to an amusement park together... to lure out the other Diary keepers. Yeah, that's it.

Ninth escapes, but is captured by another Diary keeper.

Amano opens a locked door at Gasai's house and is shocked.

Ninth protects her phone by putting her eye in harms' way instead. She escapes.

Fourth is not interested in godhood, but wants to stop the murders. He proposes a team-up between himself, Amano, and Gasai.

Each person's diary shows different details based on how they write.

By the way, Third was the homeroom teacher.

The Ninth keeper, Uryuu Minene, comes to the school to follow up. She has placed remote detonating bombs around the school to flush out Amano.

The head cop tracking her, Fourth, is also a Future Diary user.

The winner of the contest will get Deus' cosmic powers!

He names Amanao, First. No doubt the top contender if he could pull off a miracle like that.

It was actually Gasai's doing, but Amano has the target on his head.

Don't worry, Gasai will protect him, with all the force that a Yandere girlfriend can muster. (Worry.)
