In ‘Suspicious Summer (Part 1),’ students begin reading Takahiko’s newest arson prediction. Confident in his plan, Takahiko assembles a capable team to monitor the predicted site. As night falls, the group splits up to patrol. However, the arsonist still escapes after burning bicycles, frustrating Takahiko.
During a call, Osanai hints at understanding Takahiko’s location but leaves her last words unclear. Meanwhile, Kobato questions one of Takahiko’s assistants and later argues with Tokiko, whose irritation over Kobato’s obsession with minor cases creates visible strain between them.
SHOSHIMIN Season 2 Episode 5 will likely show the school’s response to Takahiko’s latest newspaper article. The arson incidents will continue to grow in scale, matching the pattern Takahiko predicted. Encouragement from Hitoya will boost his morale, followed by unexpected advice from Osanai.
Simultaneously, Kobato and Nakamura’s relationship may undergo change. One of Takahiko’s team members may have tampered with the article without his knowledge, possibly impacting his credibility. The upcoming episode could reveal this interference while further escalating the friction between Kobato and Tokiko.
