Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou - Episode 9
Natsuno catches the stalker, who wanted to accidentally give her his daughter's book. Somehow not related to hypnotized attackers, though. One mystery down, perhaps another pops up?
After missing out on that book at the hot springs inn, Celestial Romance, Natsuno and the dog purchase it at the local bookstore. Upon returning, book maniac that he is, Kazuhito notices an extra book in the apartment. Someone had broken in and planted the very book they bought. Mysterious. They decide to read the book to see if there are any clues as to why, and if this pseudonymous author is related. The only thing that happens is that the dog feels like a love potion hit him, which flatters Natsuno, and that the writing style seems very much like Natsuno's. That avenue for clues dries up, so Natsuno calls her agent to see if she knows anything about the author. After some convincing *cough*torture*cough* Suzuna tells them the author is the daughter of a famous historical fiction writer and gives them the address written down by the author.
The address happens to be in Kazuhito's old town, in the same neighborhood as his school. As they take a shortcut through an abandoned warehouse, they get attacked by another mob of hypnotized people. After Natsuno uses the dog-rocket-punch, the mysterious stalker appears, and it is the famous historical writer. His daughter tasked him with sending a copy of her book to Shinobu Akiyama, Natsuno's pen name, but he didn't want to do it, because he hates Akiyama's writing. Instead, he looked for opportunities for Natsuno to pick up the book by chance, like leaving it in the lobby of a hotel, or using the security company's key to place the book in her library, so he could fulfill his daughter's request without compromising his disrespect. Yeah, it's convoluted comedy, right? And, he's also not responsible for the hypnotized mob. Huh.
After all this, the address for the author is indeed Kazuhito's old school. And while looking for clues, the dog goes to his old book club room, pulls out an old manuscript, and his old club mate is there to meet him. She is the mysterious author and responsible for the mobs?
