	"Perhaps they picked it up?"		"Perhaps they picked it up?"

			"Picked it up? You mean that the fake note was left on the road?"

			"The forgers might have disposed of it to get rid of the evidence, for example."

			It was quite an absurd theory, but only in its basis, and I didn't really care too much.

			However, Chitanda shook her head.

			"That would also be unlikely."

			I was about to ask why, when I realized something strange.

			Assuming that X went to school on both days, he would have delivered the note to Koubundou sometime between the end of yesterday's school day and the start of school today. Even if he didn't, the time frame for the delivery of the note would be from yesterday morning to today's announcement. The time taken for both cases is way too short.

			X felt guilty while he was using the counterfeit bill. If not, he probably wouldn't have regretted his crime and apologized so quickly. It certainly wouldn't be possible for someone who uses a fake note he just picked up on an elderly couple to earn some small change.

			"Hmm. The method of obtaining the bill, huh..."

			If you don't figure that out, your whole theory would be like a tower built on sand."

			Hey, you mentioned that I say rarely used phrases, but aren't you just the same?"

			Even as I laugh it off, I have to appreciate Chitanda's focus. It might be a small thing, but as they say, a little leak will sink a great ship. How did X get hold of the fake note, and why did he have to use it?

			Or is the theory that I've built up completely wrong, as Chitanda is saying?

			A murmur escaped from my lips.

			"10,000 yen, huh."

			That's definitely not that large a sum of money that people would dream about it. But then again, it's also an amount that one would regret losing.

			... I see. It's an amount that one would give up only with painful reluctance. I folded my arms.

			"Chitanda, do you like money?"

			Chitanda was a little flustered by the question, but she still answered.

			"Yes, I suppose. I'll have to say that I like it rather than hate it."

			"Would you be troubled over throwing away 10,000 yen?"

			"I don't think so."

			As if this was an important matter, Chitanda drew closer and added solemnly,

			"... But only if it were not from an illegitimate source."

			You sure are protected, Chitanda. People have killed for less, even in Japan.

			But even as I thought this, I could understand what Chitanda was saying. If the 10,000 yen was rightfully mine, I definitely wouldn't want to lose it. If I did accidentally misplace it, I would even clean out the drains in the city in an attempt to find it. But if it were "illegitimate money", or in other words if it was money that was picked up, stolen, or earned from gambling, I would probably give it up as easy money. As they say, "Ill-gotten gains are soon spent."

			That can be the only reason why X felt guilty and yet still used the counterfeit bill. He did not want to waste his own money. In that case, that 10,000 yen was not from an illegitimate source. Also, X is not a forger, or the accomplice of one. If that's the case...

	"What do you mean?"		"What do you mean?"

			That was actually quite slow of me. I have no idea why I even asked Chitanda that question. Chitanda's face showed a flicker of irritation, but she continued.

			"How did X-san, a high school student who does not sell anything, get hold of the counterfeit bill?"

			I answered without giving it much thought.

			"From an ATM, I suppose."

			"It's no easy feat to forge bills good enough to trick an ATM or a bank! And if they were that good, it would be unusual for X-san to notice."

			"Perhaps he received it as change?"

			After saying that, I shut my mouth, taken aback by my own stupidity. I was fortunate that Ibara wasn't here. Who knows what mean things she would say about me? Since Chitanda was not Ibara, she looked at me and smiled instead of criticizing me.

			"Exactly. It seems that you have realized. A 10,000-yen bill cannot be given as change. Apart from commemorative coin, the 10,000-yen bill is the largest bill in our country."

			I finally understood why I asked Chitanda that question.

			How did X get hold of that fake currency for him to be able to use it? A counterfeit bill is one made by an unlicensed source, and is made to be used in shops. When it does, it shouldn't be handed over to customers, and even if it's passed in between shops, it would eventually go to the bank. That's where it stops.

			With furrowed eyebrows, I nodded by a few degrees.

			"Well, I get what you're trying to say. Even if X's father ran a business, received a fake bill and gave it to X as pocket money..."

			Satisfied, Chitanda nodded.

			"X-san would have told their father. They would have asked their father to exchange the bill."

			Kamiyama High prohibits her students from working part-time, but even if X did do it, that doesn't change anything. If X received their payment by bank transfer, there is no possibility of them even touching the fake note. On the other hand, if X received the money physically, they should have been able to request for an exchange, given that the employer is not overly unjust. Just like for the possibility of Student Counseling Department collectively collapsing due to food poisoning, I did not really consider the case for X's employer or father being so cruel as to reject that request, because that would be too nonsensical.

			Now, then...

			"Perhaps they picked it up?"

			"But!"

			Chitanda, who had kept silent and had not stirred an inch after my words, suddenly piped up. She then started talking on and on, her spell of silence having been broken with that one word.

			"But but but that's impossible! It's unrealistic! It's illogical! This is a failure! A catastrophe!"

			Seeing Chitanda's extreme vigor and sensing that she might just leap out of her seat and strangle me, I drew back my chair and retreated.

			I stopped Chitanda with a hand gesture, while thinking that that was probably similar to calming down a violent bull.

			"Ch-chitanda, please calm down. Ah that's right! I just remembered! This is just a game, right? You won't get anything out of it by being so serious."

			"But it's impossible!"

			Hmm. She used the word "impossible", instead of "unbelievable"?

			I narrowed my eyes and asked Chitanda.

			"What do you mean by impossible?"

			Chitanda had both her hands on the table and was leaning over it, but she returned to her original position and coughed slightly, as if embarrassed by her own actions. She put on her usual expression and spoke.

			"The counterfeit bills that have been used are 10,000-yen bills. You concluded that X-san used a 10,000-yen bill based on that news, right?"

			I nodded.

			"But there is no way X-san, a high school student, could have gotten their hands on one! Or even if they did, they should have been able to exchange it!"

			"What do you mean?"
