## Volume 1

Bat’s “first appearance” in the Tanmoshi Light novel series is in Chapter 1: No, It’s not an innuendo, it’s a euphemism. However, “canonically speaking”, the true first appearance of Bat is in Chapter 1: Is there a detective Present amongst the customers?

(In the Anime, this event timeline has been changed. In the light novel, Nagisa and Kimi meet Bat and tell Nagisa about the airplane events 4 years ago. This was moved into Episode 1 of the anime, and this flashback doesn’t happen during the meeting.)

**Chapter 1:  No, it's not an innuendo, it's a euphemism**

Kimihiko greets Bat after getting permission to meet him from Fuubi.

**Chapter 1: The Heart. The Bat, The Android**

Kimi introduces Nagisa to Bat. Nagisa formerly greets him and tells him that she’s here to talk about her heart.

Bat then says to Nagisa that to simply put it, she’s looking for the owner of her heart, whom she doesn't know. Nagisa then whispers to Kimi if Bat can really identify the owner of the heart,  causing Bat to call Nagisa a “Rude Missy.” Much to Nagisa’s surprise, Bat laughs, and tells her that he doesn’t even need to focus to hear at this distance; he can hear conversations from 100 km away. He says he exchanged his eyes for such an ability, and that while his ears are powerful, all surrounding noises of his cell are shut down. He then jokes about how it feels to be him, comparing himself to a living corpse, then laughing at his own joke.

Nagisa says it’s impossible for Bat to do such a thing, to which Kimi responds with “But the impossible you speak of exists.” Nagisa questions Bat that if his words are true, then what he can hear. Bat then responds with, “I’ve met many people over the past decades, so I’ll match yours with all the heartbeats I have heard in my database, see if there’s one.” Nagisa once again says that’s impossible, to which Kimi responds to Nagisa that she can be a little hopeful about this. Nagisa then questions what Kimi means, and Kimihiko says he didn't plan to hide that he knows this man’s history from four years ago, 10,000 meters above the sky.

Bat then says that it’s really nostalgic, and then asks to talk about the past. Kimi then apologizes to Bat, and says that Fuubi has given them a time limit. Bat then responds, roasting Fuubi. He then says to calm Nagisa down, and that maybe they should reveal a little more about themselves. Kimi then questions Bat asking what he’s planning, to which Bat responds that it’s just because he rarely gets visitors. Kimi then apologizes to Nagisa because this meeting might take a while, as he recalls the events four years ago.

**Chapter 1: Is There A Detective Present Amongst The Customers?**

Bat is encountered by Siesta and Kimi, holding the two pilots hostage. He then questions which of the two is the detective. Siesta asks him for his name first, to which Bat responds with “Bat, It’s a codename.” Siesta then jokes around about how she was right about codenames, annoying Kimi. Bat says that he’s enjoying Siesta’s jokes, and asks Siesta the reason why he hijacked the plane and that if she deduces it right, he’ll give up on snapping the captain’s neck.

**Chapter 1: Hijacker vs Famous Detective**

Siesta then asks Bat if he called them just to deduce this, to which bat responds with “Ahh, that’s right. Just a game, a game with the lives of six hundred passengers and crew on the line…doesn’t that excite you?” Bat says that the condition to win is the deduction of the reason he hijacked this plane, and that if she fails she will meet the same fate as everyone on the plane. Siesta then answers that Bat hijacked this plane because he was bored to tears, Bat saying that it ended faster than he expected, but he’ll fall back now. He also says to not worry about the co-pilot because he’s not dead, and has only lost consciousness. Bat then says that he’ll probably get caught by the time they land, and be put in the Villa and released after a while. Siesta then says that he was lying after all. Bat confirms that he has another reason to hijack this plane and to not force him to reveal it. Siesta responds with, “You said you will give up your life just to hijack this plane, but that is a lie, no? You are scared of death, aren’t you?” Siesta says that Bat was ordered to hijack this plane, and that he was also ordered to die in the plane crash. Bat remained silent after Siesta said this, practically confirming what she said is true. Siesta then continued saying that he was scared of dying, so he used them as a reason not to die. Kimi then asks why he had to make up the detective game and didn’t just surrender, to which Siesta responds with “His pride won’t allow it.” He did not want to be defeated without a fight. Bat then asks Siesta how she figured it all out, to which Siesta, surprising Kimi and Bat, responded with “I knew it all from the beginning.” Bat then thanked Siesta for her answer at the last minute, before attacking.

**Chapter 1: Mystery Coexists With SF**

Siesta managed to dodge Bat, with Kimi in her arms, however got injured in the process. Siesta then explains what Bat is, an <Android>. Bat responds saying that he should bring back her corpse as an offering to his bosses before attacking once again. Bat then continues attacking Kimi and Siesta. Siesta however cannot attack Bat, as she doesn’t have a weapon. Kimi then tells Siesta to give him 30 seconds, and immediately leaves for the briefcase. After getting it, he throws it to Siesta. However, Bat notices the briefcase and destroys it. The contents reveal itself to be a specially designed musket, which lands in Siesta’s hands. Siesta then shoots  the <feeler>. She then shoves the gun in Bat’s throat and imitates a gunshot. Siesta then proclaims that Bat is now dead, explaining that since she shot her with her <red bullet>, he can no longer attack her.

**Chapter 1: Even Today the memory remains**

Kimi then explains that’s how he met Bat. Nagisa then takes a step back and pulls her distance from Bat, questioning his danger levels. Nagisa then says that she doesn’t want him feeling her heartbeat suddenly. Bat responds saying that  the distance was enough, and that he already knows the owner of the heartbeat. Kimi asks Bat if he really knows the owner of Nagisa’s heart, to which Bat responds with “That’s why I wanted to talk about the past.” Nagisa then says that she wasn’t the type of person to do the things she did to Kimizuka. This leads Kimi to think of what he said to Nagisa yesterday <Memory Transfer>. He realizes that there’s only one person that can do that, and that person died a year ago. Kimi then has a panic attack. Bat responds to this by referring to Kimi as his formerly given fake name ‘Watson,’ and that running away from reality is an unsightly thing. Bat then activates his <feeler>, Kimi then asks Bat to stop and that murder will give him the death penalty. Bat responds again that this won’t kill her, Kimi continuing to tell him to stop. The feeler gets a lot sharper and charges at Nagisa’s heart, stopping inches away from her and slowly falls off. Bat says that he initially thought that Siesta was the one here. Bat then asks when Siesta died, to which Kimi responds that she died a year ago on a deserted island. Bat says that it was a pity, to which Kimi responds again with it being an unexpectedly simple aftermath. Bat then responds that it was such nonsense, and that the detective appeared before him again in Nagisa. Kimi then mutters that it’s just a coincidence, which causes Nagisa to become agitated and slap Kimi in the face.

**Chapter 2: Sapphire☆Phantasm**

Bat helps Kimi find the enemy, after he asks for his help.
