There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause troubles without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood … and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others: They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they’ve never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them … because in truth, I am that monster.

No matter how gifted you are … You alone cannot change the world.

It’s not a sense of justice. Figuring out difficult cases is my hobby. If you measured good and evil deeds by current laws, I would be responsible for many crimes. The same way you all like to solve mysteries and riddles, or clear video games more quickly … For me too, it’s simply prolonging something I enjoy doing. That’s why I only take on cases that pique my interest. It’s not justice at all. And if it means being able to clear a case, I don’t play fair, I’m a dishonest, cheating human being who hates losing …

(正義心ではありません。難事件を解決するのは趣味です。今の法で善悪を計るなら私も沢山の悪を犯している悪人です。皆さんが推理小説の謎解きやテレビゲームをより早くクリアしたいと思うのと同じで遊びの延長であり趣味です。だから私は自分が興味を持った事件しか手を出さない。正義ではありません。そしてクリアする為なら手段を選ばない負けず嫌いでずるい人間です。)

If I sit like a normal person my investigative abilities would be half as effective.

I don’t care what you call me, i’m still taking your cake.
