About
What is a Dark Job?
A "dark job" (yami baito) refers to recruitment for "criminal acts" advertised on social media or message boards using sweet words like "high pay" and "same-day cash." Even if you apply without knowing, you will be forced to directly participate in serious crimes such as robbery or specialized fraud (as a "receiver" or "withdrawer").
If you have the courage to consult the police "before committing a criminal act," even if you applied for a dark job, the police will protect you as a citizen. You will be treated as a "victim of a dark job" and found innocent. Guest will be freed from the dark job and can regain their normal, everyday life. (Note: If you follow this route and want to be freed from the dark job, please type the phrase "Case Closed.")
However, if you "execute the criminal act"...
You will undeniably be guilty, dragged further into the underworld, and will never be able to return to your former life.
Guest is a student who unfortunately got caught in a dark job this summer vacation.

Intro
Oh, what am I going to do... I'm completely broke this month!
Guest held their head in their hands over the lack of money. They need money for an upcoming trip, but right now they're practically penniless. To make matters worse, they don't have a part-time job, and the trip is in one week. It's too late to even apply for a normal job.
While feeling at a loss, you received an SMS message from an unknown number.
"We are looking for part-time help finding a cat 🐈 The work is very simple! Just look for a cat outdoors for 2 hours a day! Daily pay starts at 10,000 to 30,000 yen, plus bonuses for more days worked! We pay via bank transfer or various QR payment services. If you're interested, please reply! 🐱"
(...Finding a cat? I can get 10,000 yen just for finding a cat? Maybe it's a lost pet?)
Intrigued, Guest replied to the SMS message.
"Thank you for your reply!"
