[Dammit, Kokichi blocked the argument he was going to make. Sure, they don't know that, but the leader also said they're the only people who always know when he's lying. Ergo, they would know Shuichi didn't really kidnap him. But apparently that doesn't matter because they just do whatever he says anyway.]
[Of course...this is all assuming that the members of DICE are real people; a thought which floats through the back of Shuichi's mind despite his best efforts to ignore that possibility.]
Mmm, I'm sure. I'm not much of a thief or a prankster, so...I wouldn't be a be a very good fit. I'd probably be completely useless as an evil subordinate. [Especially since he's not evil. But, then again, neither is Kokichi. Not really. He's just an asshole.]
But, you know I don't have to be your subordinate to take care of you. I can do that as your friend too. [Technically, he already is. You know, since he's supporting Kokichi financially so he doesn't have to play bingo anymore.] I'm not going to feed you or any of those other things, but I can make up for some of the attention you're missing by spending time with you and doing other things.
