Collocation: A logic ~?
'When a chocolate bar on the table has gone, it is considered that any of your family members consumed it. Thus a logic may be possible that as you repurchase the identical chocolate bar you make a loss of 100 yen.'
Is 'a logic may be possible' okay and do you have better alternatives?

It doesn't sound right to me, and overall, the wording sounds too elaborate for what seems a minor everyday incident. : Someone ate the chocolate bar that was on the table, so now you will have to buy another one for 100 yen.

Hi GPY,
Yes I'm sorry I just replaced some words in the original text, because I thought my question would be more understandable.
I want to say like one logic may arise/may be possible, due to a fact/event I described prior to 'Thus'.
So, I'd like to know if I can say A logic may be possible though, is this way weird?

In what sense are you using the word "logic"? I don't really grasp what you are trying to say.

SupercatThus a logic may be possible that ...No.
Maybe you mean
Thus, you can argue that ...
Thus, you might reason that ...
Thus, we can deduce that ...
or variants of this type.

I've found out that the use of 'a logic~' isn't good. Thank you for your time, GPY and CJ!

SupercatI've found out that the use of 'a logic~' isn't good."a logic" is not always wrong per se; it can be used in the right context. For example, you can say things like "There is a logic to it" or "I found a logic in his method".
