Tangze rarely used terms that were, to some extent, insulting to the ill when describing someone, even when he was cursing people out.
But when it came to Suehiko Ito, aside from the word "idiot," it was hard to find a more precise and fitting description.
Suehiko Ito came from a good family. He lived comfortably, and while he could not be called devastatingly handsome, his looks were decent enough. He had attended a respectable university and had a beautiful girlfriend—regardless of what their relationship was actually like. As long as he had continued living his life properly and following the usual path, even if he occasionally got bored and caused a little trouble, it would still have been nothing more than a minor episode in his life.
Setting aside the fact that he was an outrageously absurd person, he might even have been fairly likable.
If he had been a normal person.
"I can understand that when people are young, idle, and rich, they might get so bored that they go looking for amusement." Pointing at the hotel on the map, Tangze described it this way. "But couldn't he have had some simple, lowbrow hobbies instead of this highbrow nonsense? Why did he have to experience crime? If he wanted thrills, couldn't he just play some role-playing games?"
He had eaten too much, had nothing to do, and decided he wanted to experience what it felt like to be a criminal?
Wasn't that exactly like those bastards living in peaceful times who romanticized suffering they had never experienced and indulged in melodramatic self-pity?
Well, perhaps not entirely the same. After all, he had money. He could be more creatively awful than ordinary bastards—for example, by actually robbing a bank.
