Time to show your encyclopedic knowledge of hentai tropes and guess what punishment awaits Silica, I guess...

Sister, what heartbreaking truth would be harsher than being judged and potentially become a breeding beast for freaks?

 

[Armok]

So, here's my guess. That manager is feeding magical girls to the monster chicken for whatever reason.

 

[jackjack9]

I got a feeling that Osakabe Lily had something to do with the monster attack.

 

[UdenEmpati]

So, here's my guess. That manager is feeding magical girls to the monster chicken for whatever reason.

The monster's eggs aren't inherently magical on their own, and require magical girls to properly imbue them.

Meaning they're serving Magical Girl Eggs, not simply monster eggs.

I like this particular hypothesis, actually.

 

[Black_Percher]

 Omuanko huh... unfortunately 2000 Yen to taste her  omuanko is indeed a steal.

 

[Mort1997]

So, here's my guess. That manager is feeding magical girls to the monster chicken for whatever reason.

Lily probably is some Mrs. Lovett type of character, serving defeated magical girls to the clients. It would explain her being nervous rather than relieved when seeing the two magical girls already in the shop. Clearing out the shop would give her the perfect cover to just let Silica die too. Also the bottle tipping in the pen, probably her doing too.

 

[UdenEmpati]

The hard part of it being Lily feeding MGs to the chicken is that this is a Defeat Trial, and she's not been defeated.

We don't know what happened to the previous special Prosecutor who targeted Lemon, but I would assume that Lily would have to face a different Court, should Lilica be found not-guilty here of her charge of losing a battle.

So if this is another instance of one MG targeting/killing other MGs, then I suspect that will open the door to Yuuri and Aoi pushing to investigate what is apparently a more widespread problem than was first indicated.

Ah Oviposition, a staple in defeated fantasy and scifi series.

The innate desire of every erotic mangaka to draw girls saying “manko” is too hard to ignore, huh

 

[SlingToken]

So, here's my guess. That manager is feeding magical girls to the monster chicken for whatever reason.

I think the monster is mostly peaceful. But it is set off by strong smells. Lily planted flowers all over the restaurant, but the invisible girl didn't know since she never goes to the front. The monster could smell her coming even though she was invisible.
Lily wanted her to get attacked.
I'm guessing because she doesn't like using monster eggs and would just rather be the star attraction with her magical cooking.

 

[Argroh]

ok, enough Pussyfooting around with these nether-jokes and can we get back to the case?

 

[imadoathing]

so between invisibility and telekinesis, the twist is gonna be that invisigirl was unprepared and head chef unlocked the cage at a distance.

We see the latch bolt unlock seemingly on its own in that one 2-panel sequence, and Aoi made a point to consider/mention Lily's power. So that's not a bad call to make.

 

[BobBob]

Lily set up Hitomi to have the cafe for herself since Hitomi's family used to own it and Lily joined in later but took all of the credit. For punishment, Hitomi gets put in a zoo as an interactable exhibit. Those are my guesses.

I figure that's just the invisible Hitomi opening the latch.

 

[Misticsan]

I figure that's just the invisible Hitomi opening the latch.

That's the key: because of Silica's invisibility, everybody would assume that, but what if it was opened with telekinesis? The recording would look the same, but it'd be Lily's fault. Chocolat's claims that "the sequence of events may not have been shown, but the outcome is clear as day" might backfire.

Still, this can't be the only condition. The prosecutor could argue that, even if Lily opened the cage, she didn't throw the monster chicken at Silica. I still bet it's something about smells.

I think I’ve made the true connection here.
It’s very simple.
Lily isn’t telekinetic.
Hitomi has been doing the cooking the entire time by being invisible.

 

[einrip]

That reference to Ghost in the Shell in page 12 might have some other reason.

Changed my mind. I don't think Lily is even a real magical girl.
Hitomi was the real chef, cooking while invisible the whole time.
