In fact, it's impossible to do it. Quietly sneak into the room in heels, discreetly remove the phone from the tripod and put another one, and also quietly leave the room. Having less than a minute for all these actions. Also, don't forget that the phone was in Miyabi's field of vision, and she occasionally looked at it... That's why I think it's nonsense and the author doesn't even want to come up with a proper script.
Not impossible, but highly unlikely. I never said it was good writing, just that she did it. That's that.

I have a question for you, how did you translate the afterword to the last chapter? It came out like this: "That beautiful lawyer is coming back! The second son, Akiba and Misato, begin to act!!" I don't know if it translated "second son" correctly, but if that's the case, then who is it? Maybe an unborn child? What do you think...

"That beautiful lawyer from back then returns! In the next issue, Akiba and Misato swing into action!!".

Jigo(次号) meaning "next issue".

I hope the mangaka realizes the story is dying down. It feels like a warner bros. toon, with Sousuke as Tom and Rika as Jerry, always "escaping" by a close call plot contrivance... I'm bored.

Chapter 90 dropped. Plot moves forward, some interesting takes and the encounter we were expecting.
  • The chapter starts with both Sousuke and Miyabi searching for her smartphone. He asks if she can access the server without the smartphone. She explains that, by direct instructions, that smartphone has total autorithy over Iwabuchi's files. So, without it, she can't access the files;
  • Miyabi ask to be punished by strangling, but Sousuke dismisses her. Anyway, the situation is dire. Without it, Sousuke doesn't have a way against Iwabuchi. However, if Iwabuchi really took his time to steal the device, it does prove that the device is his main weakness;
  • He asks Miyabi again if she has any other ideas about where it could be. She remininsces that, when she entered the hotel and had to choose a mask, Maruppi was behind her. In the moment, she was absorbed in the choice, that she didn't notice anything. Remembering Maruppi, Sousuke decides that, as long as she didn't deliver the smartphone to Iwabuchi, there might be still a chance to counterattack;
  • Miyabi says they'll definetly catch Maruppi, so she asks Sousuke to choke her as a reward. Sousuke agrees. They dress and go to her, while being seen by a shadowy figure in the corner;
  • Back in time, by 20 minutes, we return to Misato and Akiba. Misato asks if Akiba brought a dress, which she answers that yes, as it makes to move easier in the hotel. Misato asks if, now, they're going looking for Rika and the others. Misato agrees again, specifying that they're going to find Rika and the others, stalls Rika, so Sousuke-san can settle things with his wife;
  • In her thoughts, Misato wonders why a stranger would go to such lenghts for Yamada-kun. In comparison, she( Misato) is...( is just the usual self-deprecating tone). Akiba cuts her thoughts by asking if Misato is scared. Misato agrees, and says that, Meeting with Rika is( cuts again, but is hinted as problematic, scary). She asks if Akiba already heard all this from Sousuke. Akiba nods. So Akiba asks Misato to actually let her be responsible for finding and stalling Rika, while Misato peeks from the shadows;
  • Surprised by the word "peeking", Akiba explains that peeking is her hobby. slightly self-indulging in her thoughts, Akiba explains that peeking is a nice stress reliever as well. She presents an example: a usually somen father and a neat and clean mother. Then, you get to peek at a scene, where they both expose something really shameful. An affair that could never let be seen by anyone else. That's awesome( her visual aid for the scene is Isobe and kotouge, from chapter 3, where she met Sousuke);
  • As peeking is also an act of finding someone else's weakness, she began to lose the fear from the parents, with her thought that "they act tough in public, but ultimately give up to their sexual urges". If Misato is to peek at Rika, she too might find herself thinking "Is that all there's to it?"( meaning, to lose her fear);
  • Perplexed at what she just heard, when thinking about "sexual urges", there's no ways a primary school teacher would think like that. Misato just believes that Akiba told her a joke, in an attempt to loose her, and it fell flat. So she'll just leave it at that;
  • Proceeding Misato asks if Akiba knows where to look for Rika. Akiba reassures her that she already spotted Rika's room. She tried entering the hotel as a normal guest, but the recepcionist told her they're fully booked for a private event. It made sense, as it was Iwabuchi's Orgia party. That's when she noticed a room with the lights on, while she searched. Every other room was pitch black, because they were at the party, that had already started. But that room kept lit on;
  • Considering Misato's story that Rika wasn't at the party, and that single room kept the light on, that's more likely where Rika should be. Misato is joyed with Akiba being amazing. However, even if knowing which room it is, she won't be able to get inside;
  • At present, Rika is watching the footage of Miyabi's room, with most expressionless face ever. She notices that Sousuke seems flustered, and wonders if he's so because something didn't go as he expected. He went into Miyabi's room, but it doesn't look like they had sex;
  • She is interrupted by the phone. It's the frontdesk telling her that an item she forgot was delivered to her door, and to please pick it up when possible. She agrees, but understands that something is off. She goes to answer the door...and her left arm is grabbed by Akiba, as she opens it;
  • Chapter ends with Akiba saying it's been a long time, while Rika( with a cold unimpressed expression) asks "working this late? Being a teacher is tought, isn't it, Akiba-sensei?"

So, about the "minor points":
  • It seems Maruppi got Miyabi's smartphone when they were at the venue's entrance, while the later was choosing her mask.
  • Akiba is so attached to peeking that her kink seems to only deviate when she's talking/thinking about Sousuke.
  • Rika does not know about Sousuke's murder intent from chapter 88.
  • The last 2 pages...i don't even know what to say, Akiba's hand was rushedly drawn, Rika's hand is missing, and there's a phantom hand in the upper part. Well, i hope Hakaru-sensei can rest a little more on the next chapter and not make those sorts of things again...

So Miyabi didn't have her phone the entire time after entering the party, and she never noticed it wasn't hers when she set it to record the scene with Sousuke? Talk about contrived writing.

And as far as I remember, when Sousuke and Misato went to talk to Maruppi as a lawyer, they never mentioned Miyabi at all because they didn't even know about her yet. So how did Maruppi know that taking Miyabi's phone was the best course of action?

It feels like some of the characters are borderline omniscient.

About the last part, it seems more reasonable to believe that Iwabuchi asked Maruppi to tag Miyabi ahead of the event. You know, in case Sousuke makes her have a change of heart( just like with Misato), and delivers the device to Mr. Yamada himself. But yeah, that leave us with 2 problems.

1 - What made Iwabuchi change his mind and ask to tag Miyabi? He gave her an all powerful smartphone, but choose to take it back after? Is he afraid of Sousuke's potential of being like a monk from Age of Empires??
2 - It may be saying that i'm old, but...does Mita really expect me to believe a young woman wouldn't be messing with her phone every 10 minutes? Considerig the party wasn't all that great to her?

Rika's hand not missing, there just lack of detail. You could observe more. Rika's wore black long sleeves pajamas. So you could see near akiba's hand hold black things (like bottle) that is rika sleeves and over it (round white things) that rika's hand.

For those who told rika's mole missing at several chpater before because mangaka error. I think you all is right. Here we can see rika's mole

But for that to make sense, Iwabuchi would have to be suspicious of Miyabi somehow. Maybe he found out that Sousuke and Misato had talked to Miyabi's brother? In that case, taking her phone would be a preemptive move because he knew Sousuke was trying to find her.

But I don't know. I think the author should've given us something. For example, when Maruppi called Iwabuchi in the last chapter, he could've mentioned that he knew Sousuke was looking for Miyabi. As it stands, it comes across as borderline omniscient.

Every time Rika appears, it is always interesting. I want to share a bit of my thoughts.

Looking at how MITA has written the story so far, I tend to think that Rika's desire to see Sousuke have sex with another woman is purely to use it as a tool to exploit Sousuke's weakness. It is as simple as when Sousuke asks why Rika cheated, Rika only needs to answer by showing a video of Sousuke having sex with another woman, while on the other hand, Sousuke has no concrete evidence that the woman in the Ura Aka video is Rika. I always remember how cheap Iwabuchi's answer was when Sousuke asked whether the engagement letter between Iwabuchi and Rika was still valid or not, and Iwabuchi answered with absolute certainty that it was still valid. What an absurd answer of self justification.

Then, regarding what will happen next. I am 100% sure Rika will not get caught or be finished now before Iwabuchi falls first. So there is a possibility that Akiba will fail to catch Rika because:
1. Rika makes a shocking statement that Akiba cannot counter, or
2. Rika invites Akiba to play a game, like a drinking contest, and knocks her unconscious, or
3. Misato, who is peeking, gets caught by Iwabuchi, or
4. Perhaps Satsuki causes a commotion/riot that make allows Rika to escape.

Yeah, but that just corroborate that this last part was drawned in a rushed way.

I believe 1, 3 and 4 will be applied together. Rika shocks Akiba and she staggers. Misato is caught, seeing that Akiba's idea of "peeking is finding someone's weakness" does not follow Rika here, Akiba is shattered and Rika is pretty much on line to scatter Misato's photos. Satsuki will probably go for Rika and assault her, but Iwabuchi'll take the hit as Rika escapes.

Agreed. Akito could've been a good source of mistrust from Iwabuchi, enough to ask Maruppi to pin Miyabi. In any event, this lacked exposition, and the detailes are very brittle to work with.
