Interview Room

ODOKAWA: How it started? What would you even call the start of this?

ODOKAWA: Of this chain of events? That doesn't narrow things down.

ODOKAWA: It all started on October th, right?

ODOKAWA: I really don't remember anything about that.

NEWS: And now for the news.

NEWS: A high school girl has gone missing in Nerima City, Tokyo.

Tea,SIGN BOTTLE: Tea

NEWSPAPER: High School Student Goes Missing in Nerima

NEWS: She has been unreachable

NEWS: since she left her home late at night on the th of this month.

NEWS: The police believe she may have been involved in an incident.

ODOKAWA: It started with him. You know, the pygmy hippo.

ODOKAWA: Kabasawa? Yeah, Kabasawa.

ODOKAWA: What? "Kabasawa, comin' at ya!"?

ODOKAWA: The hell is that? Sounds lame.

ODOKAWA: Are you a fan of his?

ODOKAWA: Personally, I feel like something went off the rails then.

ODOKAWA: That was... October th? Oh, right.

ODOKAWA: I clearly remember things starting around then.

ODOKAWA: I was driving through the city

ODOKAWA: while listening to the h*m* radio show like I always did.

EPTITLE: In the Woods

ODOKAWA: Where to?

KABASAWA: Nerima.

KABASAWA: Give me a break.

KABASAWA: I was supposed to be partying it up with my Kabasawa Crew of followers right now.

KABASAWA: It's Christmas Eve, you know?

KABASAWA: The start? October th? Oh, yeah.

KABASAWA: That's when it started. It's that taxi driver's fault.

KABASAWA: I remember now.

KABASAWA: I was drinking cheap booze with a friend after class.

KABASAWA: What? We weren't discussing anything important.

KABASAWA: It was all stuff about some anime,

KABASAWA: or how some streamer's Let's Play was interesting.

KABASAWA: The friend I was drinking with said he was gonna meet up with his girlfriend,

KABASAWA: so we ended at an awkward time.

KABASAWA: The trains were running, but I couldn't be bothered, so I took a taxi instead.

KABASAWA: It was just on a whim.

KABASAWA: I thought maybe he'd have an idea I could use.

KABASAWA: I asked if anything interesting had happened recently.

KABASAWA: I'm trying to go viral.

ODOKAWA: Viral?

KABASAWA: I want my posts to be spread all over social media.

ODOKAWA: Why?

KABASAWA: Why? Because my friends have.

ODOKAWA: You're sure wasting your time on pointless shit, huh?

KABASAWA: It's not pointless. It's important.

KABASAWA: Likes and followers represent a person's worth.

KABASAWA: They're even used as evaluation criteria by job recruiters.

KABASAWA: Oh! I just got a great idea.

KABASAWA: Driver, could you take a selfie of us together?

ODOKAWA: Will that go viral?

KABASAWA: Just do it.

KABASAWA: Also, well... I think I was looking down on him.

KABASAWA: Done. Look.

SIGN: Taichi Kabasawa

SIGN: seconds ago

SIGN: Hold on lol I was telling my taxi driver that I was having trouble finding a job, so he took my phone and was like, "Check this out; it'll cheer you up," and took a picture of us lmao

KABASAWA: Because I'd only been paying attention to successful people,

KABASAWA: when I saw this middle-aged taxi driver whose life didn't seem to be going anywhere,

SIGN: Hold on lol I was telling my taxi driver that I was having trouble finding a job, so he took my phone and was like, "Check this out; it'll cheer you up," and took a picture of us lmao

KABASAWA: I felt sort of relieved.

KABASAWA: Oh, yeah. We encountered a checkpoint on the way.

KABASAWA: Now that I think about it, I know that cop must've been working with Dobu,

KABASAWA: but that has nothing to do with me.

ODOKAWA: That's odd. Aren't you friends with him?

KENSHIRO: I'm asking for convenience's sake. Use your head.

KOSHIRO: What's he mean, Bro?

KABASAWA: My impression of Odokawa-san?

KABASAWA: I mean, I thought he was weird,

KABASAWA: but I also thought to myself, "I never want to turn out like this guy."

KABASAWA: I asked him why he decided to become a driver,

KABASAWA: and he gave me some halfhearted answer.

KABASAWA: I got caught up hoping that I'd be living

KABASAWA: a more joyful and easier life by the time I'm his age,

KABASAWA: and I forgot my phone in the car.

KABASAWA: Sorry, Driver. I forgot my phone.

KABASAWA: Could you come back?

ODOKAWA: I told you not to leave anything in the car.

KABASAWA: Did it go viral?

ODOKAWA: The notifications won't stop.

KABASAWA: Seriously? It went viral.

KABASAWA: I was so surprised.

KABASAWA: I thought it'd be nice if it went viral,

KABASAWA: but I didn't expect it to get that much attention.

KABASAWA: Now that I think about it, that moment changed my life.

KABASAWA: Do I regret it?

KABASAWA: No. No, I don't regret it.

KABASAWA: After all, it wasn't intentional, and there's nothing I can do about it.

KABASAWA: Yeah. Right?

KABASAWA: I had no idea Dobu was in that photo.

SHIRAKAWA: Are you two doing well?

SHIRAKAWA: Huh? Oh, we're short on time?

SHIRAKAWA: Anyway, it's incredible. How many people are you seeing today?

SHIRAKAWA: Right, sorry. We're here to have a serious conversation.

RED: Runaway?Kidnapping?

WHITE:High School Girl Missing in Nerima City Unreachable Since Going Out Late at Night

SHIRAKAWA: There was a news report that day about a girl from Nerima who went missing.

ODOKAWA: Are you happy?

ODOKAWA: You can run away whenever you want.

ODOKAWA: I'm not trapping you in here or keeping you tied up.

ODOKAWA: You chose to stay here.

SHIRAKAWA: Odokawa-san came in for a checkup.

SHIRAKAWA: No, it wasn't the first time. He'd visited several times before.

Goriki_Clinic,SIGN WHITE: Goriki Clinic

GORIKI: Well, Odokawa?

GORIKI: Have you been sleeping well?

ODOKAWA: I go to sleep while listening to rakugo.

ODOKAWA: I've already memorized it, you quack.

GORIKI: Master Donraku Shofutei's routine?

ODOKAWA: Yeah. I'm surprised you know about him.

SHIRAKAWA: I've got a Donraku eraser.

ODOKAWA: A what?

SHIRAKAWA: I don't really understand it myself,

SHIRAKAWA: but it's an original Master Donraku eraser.

ODOKAWA: Who the hell needs something like that?

SHIRAKAWA: That Donraku eraser...

SHIRAKAWA: I promised I'd tell you everything today, didn't I?

SHIRAKAWA: Dobu-san gave me the Donraku eraser so I could attract Odokawa-san's attention.

SHIRAKAWA: You can have it.

GORIKI: Hey, Odokawa. What do I look like to you?

ODOKAWA: A gorilla.

GORIKI: You're not wrong.

SHIRAKAWA: In any case, I wanted to get closer to Odokawa-san.

SHIRAKAWA: That's how it was, back then.

SHIRAKAWA: Of course, I was under Dobu-san's orders at the time.

SHIRAKAWA: But...

SHIRAKAWA: I don't sound very convincing, do I?

SHIRAKAWA: I don't know how to put it exactly,

SHIRAKAWA: but I felt like I could finally fly off the perch I'd been sitting on.

SHIRAKAWA: What? That's a confusing analogy?

SHIRAKAWA: Well, yeah. After all, I'm an alpaca.

BIG DAIMON: This place doesn't have ramen?

BIG DAIMON: Well, whatever.

BIG DAIMON: You guys have got some guts.

BIG DAIMON: Aren't you threatening me, here?

BIG DAIMON: You won't tell anyone? What's the point of this, then?

BIG DAIMON: Don't you already know everything?

BIG DAIMON: Confirming what you know, huh?

BIG DAIMON: If you've got a point here, make it quick.

BIG DAIMON: Huh?

BIG DAIMON: What? You wanna drag Dobu into these interviews?

BIG DAIMON: That's easy enough. You just need money.

BIG DAIMON: That all started with money, too. It was purely about the money.

Goriki_Clinic,SIGN WHITE: Goriki Clinic

BIG DAIMON: Because Dobu said that dash cam's data was valuable,

BIG DAIMON: he used the police's power to get his hands on it.

BIG DAIMON: And it's true that Odokawa was a person of interest in the case.

ODOKAWA: What?

KENSHIRO: That high school girl from Nerima got in your car.

ODOKAWA: My car?

KENSHIRO: I'm taking your data. This is a seizure.

KENSHIRO: If anything comes up, I expect your cooperation again.

KENSHIRO: Don't go to the police, though.

ODOKAWA: What if I do?

KENSHIRO: Not sure, but I imagine a wanted criminal armed with a g*n might k*ll you.

BIG DAIMON: Why? What does it matter?

BIG DAIMON: You shouldn't stick your noses too deep into this.

BIG DAIMON: More importantly, do you know where my brother is?

TAEKO: Excuse me!

TAEKO: Have you got anything as close as possible to tofu and spinach sesame salad?

TAEKO: What? Cilantro and white onions?

TAEKO: In that case, never mind.

TAEKO: This place sure does like to put on airs.

TAEKO: What? You don't think so?

TAEKO: Oh, right. How's the investigation coming along? Any progress?

TAEKO: Money? Oh, you might be able to interview Dobu-san.

TAEKO: Yeah, all right. I'll pay for it.

TAEKO: No, don't worry about it.

TAEKO: More importantly, will you be all right? Isn't that dangerous?

TAEKO: Not even biotechnology can beat him anymore.

TAEKO: Apparently we've come full circle to physical att*cks again.

TAEKO: It's like the wrecking ball they used during the Asama-Sanso incident.

TAEKO: What? Oh, right.

TAEKO: What was happening at the shop then?

TAEKO: As usual, it started with a conversation about health typical of middle-aged men,

GREEN:Yamabiko

TAEKO: when suddenly Goriki-san said...

GORIKI: Tell Odokawa to go to a bigger hospital.

TAEKO: Is something wrong with him?

GORIKI: Don't you think he's strange?

KAKIHANA: He's always been strange.

KAKIHANA: He hates people and is sarcastic.

KAKIHANA: His parents abandoned him.

KAKIHANA: Of course he's twisted.

GORIKI: Not that. It's something more... fundamental.

KAKIHANA: Come to think of it, I saw Daimon the other day.

KAKIHANA: He said something odd.

KAKIHANA: He thought Odokawa might be involved in the Nerima missing person case.

TAEKO: Could it be?

KAKIHANA: He went to question Odokawa's neighbors.

KAKIHANA: They said they heard Odokawa talking to someone

KAKIHANA: when he supposedly lives alone.

TAEKO: Maybe he was on the phone.

GORIKI: I heard the police were looking for Dobu.

SHIRAKAWA: We talked about all kinds of stuff,

SHIRAKAWA: like how Odokawa-san's family never came back,

SHIRAKAWA: and my scholarship money.

ODOKAWA: Nurses must make good money.

SHIRAKAWA: You remember me.

ODOKAWA: You're the only alpaca around here.

ODOKAWA: What's so funny? Are you laughing to be polite?

SHIRAKAWA: In any case, at the time,

SHIRAKAWA: I felt I had to make Odokawa-san aware of my existence.

SHIRAKAWA: What?

SHIRAKAWA: Yeah, that's right. I owed Dobu-san money.

SHIRAKAWA: Maybe that's why I did as he said.

SHIRAKAWA: I don't know.

SHIRAKAWA: Odokawa-san, is there anyone you like?

ODOKAWA: Nope.

SHIRAKAWA: What a waste.

SHIRAKAWA: Life's more fun when you're in love.

ODOKAWA: I'm too old for that.

SHIRAKAWA: You're still only . Your life is just getting started.

ODOKAWA: How do you know that?

SHIRAKAWA: I've seen your medical records.

ODOKAWA: You know all my personal information, don't you?

ODOKAWA: Shirakawa-san, is there anyone you like?

SHIRAKAWA: Yes.

SHIRAKAWA: I thought, "This is my chance!"

ODOKAWA: Huh. What's he like?

SHIRAKAWA: What's he like? He's a little hard to describe.

ODOKAWA: Do you have a photo of him?

SHIRAKAWA: I do. Would you like to see?

ODOKAWA: I would.

SHIRAKAWA: What? I don't have "game" or anything like that.

SHIRAKAWA: I really was desperate.

SHIRAKAWA: Cunning? Oh, please.

SHIRAKAWA: All I did was turn on the front-facing camera and show him.

KAKIHANA: Yeah, I was surprised.

KAKIHANA: Romance was never Odokawa's thing.

KAKIHANA: I was surprised, and I panicked.

KAKIHANA: But since I wanted to support him, I guess I did egg him on.

KAKIHANA: I thought it'd be nice if it worked out.

ODOKAWA: You've transcended all kinds of stuff to achieve a look of total serenity.

KAKIHANA: Hold on. I'm organizing my thoughts right now.

KAKIHANA: What? Jealous?

KAKIHANA: No, not at all.

ODOKAWA: Hey, don't take pictures in the changing room.

KAKIHANA: Who cares? There's nobody here.

KAKIHANA: Taeko said she hasn't seen your face in a while. She misses you.

ODOKAWA: It doesn't matter that nobody's here. It says it's prohibited.

SHIBAGAKI: I don't have time for this.

SHIBAGAKI: What am I gonna do? I'm gonna brush up on my jokes!

SHIBAGAKI: Sorry for shouting. I'm not mad or anything.

SHIBAGAKI: I've got the powerful voice of someone who's performed onstage a lot.

SHIBAGAKI: I've never had to project my voice.

SHIBAGAKI: Anyway, what do you want?

TOP LEFT: Lucky Retailer!!

TOP RIGHT: Hachiko Square

TOP RIGHT: Lottery Tickets

SHIBAGAKI: Imai? Ah, yeah. Imai-san.

SHIBAGAKI: He's a senior employee at my job.

SHIBAGAKI: We live in a hierarchical society,

SHIBAGAKI: so I respect him even though he's younger than me.

SHIBAGAKI: Besides, he's a good person.

SHIBAGAKI: He said a real nice driver gave him a discount.

SHIBAGAKI: Apparently haggling with taxi drivers is against the law. Did you know that?

SHIBAGAKI: Maybe I'll write about him in a review of the cabaret club.

SHIBAGAKI: Just kidding. Nobody does that.

SHIBAGAKI: Apparently they even had a conversation about idols.

IMAI: After struggling for two years, they finally debuted.

ODOKAWA: That's not a very long struggle.

IMAI: Thinking back, I encountered them a year ago

IMAI: at a concert I happened to attend.

IMAI: Back then, there were only five people in the audience, including me.

IMAI: But today, all those fans came to see them.

IMAI: I feel happy, but also kind of sad. I feel conflicted.

IMAI: But, like, knowing them since way back gives me a sense of superiority.

IMAI: I was one of those five fans.

IMAI: I'll never forget how I felt then.

IMAI: Rui Nikaido's overpowering aura.

IMAI: Her singing reminded me of Janis Joplin.

IMAI: Her innate idol-like qualities contrasted with the ambition that flowed out of her.

IMAI: Yuki Mitsuya's exceptional physical abilities backed by her next-level dancing.

IMAI: Shiho Ichimura's genuine modesty.

IMAI: Each idol had a unique personality.

IMAI: They were the holy trinity of idols.

ODOKAWA: You've got a lot to say about them,

ODOKAWA: but their personalities got less impressive as you went on.

SHIBAGAKI: Apparently he bragged about being one of five audience members before they debuted.

SHIBAGAKI: Back when we debuted, we performed in front of five people,

SHIBAGAKI: and all five of them made faces like they'd dropped their wallets.

YAMATO: I'm ready to take your picture.

IMAI: I've been thinking.

IMAI: Both Ichimura-san and Mitsuya-san would look better without masks.

IMAI: They're so cute. It's a waste.

IMAI: Also...

IMAI: Mitsuya-san's dancing has gotten a little sloppy.

SHIBAGAKI: He said one of them seemed off her game.

SHIBAGAKI: I think it was Mitsuya-san?

SHIBAGAKI: I didn't give a shit, but nodded along anyway.

YAMAMOTO: That Imai guy was one of those five guys, right?

NIKAIDO: Yeah. He's probably the only one who's been following us since then.

YAMAMOTO: It's them.

YAMAMOTO: Hello, this is Yamamoto. Yes.

YAMAMOTO: Yes, it went smoothly. Yes.

YAMAMOTO: Half, right? Of course.

YAMAMOTO: What? A dash cam?

YAMAMOTO: I'll look for him.

YAMAMOTO: Do you know the driver's name?

YAMAMOTO: I'm not sure what I can do if you don't.

YAMAMOTO: You're right. Understood.

NIKAIDO: What did they say?

YAMAMOTO: It's fine. Nothing for you to worry about, Nikaido.

SHIBAGAKI: Anyway, the driver... That's Odokawa-san, right?

SHIBAGAKI: Imai bought a lottery ticket using the numbers Odokawa-san chose randomly.

SHIBAGAKI: Yeah, that's right. After all, he's a blabbermouth.

SHIBAGAKI: I know he brought it on himself, but I worry about him.

IMAI: Hey, that sounds pretty good.

IMAI: I'm off to buy a lottery ticket.

ODOKAWA: Hey, you still had money?

ODOKAWA: Jeez.

ODOKAWA: Where t—

DOBU: Let me tell you something.

DOBU: The truth exists inside all our hearts. There isn't just one.

DOBU: There's no point in trying to learn the truth.

DOBU: My story might change depending on how much you pay me.

DOBU: Odokawa-kun, let's go for a drive.

ODOKAWA: Sure thing. You'll pay your fare, won't you?

DOBU: Maybe, if you give me some useful information.

DOBU: Are you really gonna find the truth doing this?

DOBU: I'm not the only one. The others are the same, too.

DOBU: What they will and won't say depends on how it benefits them.

DOBU: They use the truth and lies accordingly.

DOBU: You're just private civilians. Can you tell the difference?

DOBU: But given all that, I'll tell you this.

DOBU: Everything I'm about to tell you is true.

DOBU: I became interested in Odokawa

DOBU: because he gave a ride to that high school girl from Nerima.

DOBU: I'm certain of that. I heard about it from the police.

DOBU: I just handled things my way.

DOBU: But there is one person who knows how I do things.

DOBU: If anyone shows up looking for your dash cam data,

DOBU: I want you to let me know.

ODOKAWA: And if I refuse?

DOBU: I'll k*ll you.

ODOKAWA: So, you're not actually involved?

DOBU: Nope. Swear to God, I'm not involved.

DOBU: If anything, I was framed.

ODOKAWA: Do you have any idea who might be involved?

DOBU: A guy named Yano.

ODOKAWA: Yano?

DOBU: Yeah, that's right. Yano.

DOBU: Yano knew I'd try to steal the dash cam data,

DOBU: so he spread the rumor that I'd try to take the data

DOBU: to cover up evidence of the high school girl's kidnapping.

YANO: So persistent, so drawn out, my ringtone's imposition.

YANO: I'm dealing with a lot over here. Submission. Addiction.

YANO: Wish I could take my medicine and go to bed, but a container ship?

YANO: Please zip it. I won't do it again. I promise I won't do it again.

YANO: Isn't it about time you told me your name?

YANO: Who's calling?

DOBU: It's less that Yano's "smart" and more that he's "out to k*ll me."

YANO: Seems like the culprit's the one who stole his g*n.

YANO: If the boss finds out, Dobu better run.

YANO: Either way, his points are goin' down one-by-one.

YANO: After this, all his business will be mine.

YANO: Dobu-san underestimates me 'cause he thinks I'm an herbivore.

YANO: I'll peel back his disguise and s*ab him with all my spines.

YANO: Seize the big money and laugh out loud like a porcupine.

DOBU: But his directness is his failing.

DOBU: Think about it.

DOBU: At that point the only ones who knew that dash cam data was important

DOBU: were the police, me, and the culprits.

DOBU: He thought he was making the first move, but the game was already over.

DOBU: They were trying to outsmart me,

DOBU: but I've been through way more shit than them.

DOBU: It's true of both Yano and Odokawa.

DOBU: Shirakawa...

DOBU: So, that's your weakness.

ODOKAWA: Why Shirakawa-san?

DOBU: I had Shirakawa approach Odokawa?

DOBU: Who knows? She chose to do it on her own.

DOBU: Sounds like we have a deal, then.

DOBU: Thanks for your help.

DOBU: What's going to happen tomorrow?

DOBU: Oh, you'll see.

SHIRAKAWA: It was a little gamble I decided to take.

SHIRAKAWA: I knew Dobu-san would go to see Odokawa-san,

SHIRAKAWA: so I invited Odokawa-san out to block Dobu-san's plans.

SHIRAKAWA: What if I'd waited all night and he never came?

SIGN: Ultra Rare Dodo

SHIRAKAWA: Then I probably would've kept letting Dobu-san use me.

SHIRAKAWA: I wanted to change.

SHIRAKAWA: At the time, I was screaming in my heart.

SHIRAKAWA: "Please, Odokawa-san.

SHIRAKAWA: Take me away from here."

ODOKAWA: You don't want to be friends with me.

SHIRAKAWA: Why not?

ODOKAWA: Because I've got some yakuza-type guys after me.

ODOKAWA: They know who my friends are.

ODOKAWA: It's kind of dangerous.

SHIRAKAWA: I'll be fine. Despite how I look...

SHIRAKAWA: I used to practice capoeira.

ODOKAWA: That was surprising. I thought a Bollywood movie was about to start.

ODOKAWA: What's capoeira?

SHIRAKAWA: A Brazilian martial art.

ODOKAWA: Why?

SHIRAKAWA: At first, I was trying to lose weight.

SHIRAKAWA: Then I got interested in seeing how much I could improve my queixada form.

SHIRAKAWA: Oh, a queixada is a kick to the chin. It's—

ODOKAWA: That's not what I meant.

ODOKAWA: Your makeshift capoeira won't be enough to beat these guys.

SHIRAKAWA: That's obnoxious. How do you know my martial arts skills are makeshift?

ODOKAWA: If it was to lose weight, then it can't be effective in a real fight.

ODOKAWA: So it's makeshift.

SHIRAKAWA: It wouldn't upset you if someone called you a makeshift taxi driver?

ODOKAWA: Obviously I'd be upset. It's my job.

ODOKAWA: I'm not calling you a makeshift nurse.

SHIRAKAWA: By the way, what does "makeshift" mean?

ODOKAWA: You got upset when you didn't know what it meant?

SHIRAKAWA: I understood more or less from the nuance.

SHIRAKAWA: Use a synonym that's easier to understand.

ODOKAWA: It means "temporary substitute."

SHIRAKAWA: Who's a temporary substitute nurse?!

ODOKAWA: I didn't say that,

ODOKAWA: and I'm astonished that you got upset for the same reason twice.

ODOKAWA: Please, no more queixada!

ODOKAWA: Anyway, it's dangerous for us to be meeting like this.

ODOKAWA: For you, that is.

SHIRAKAWA: It doesn't matter. I'm an adult.

SHIRAKAWA: I can protect myself.

ODOKAWA: What's your goal?

SHIRAKAWA: For what?

ODOKAWA: What do you gain from meeting with me, Shirakawa-san?

SHIRAKAWA: Am I bothering you?

SHIRAKAWA: Would it bother you to occasionally meet and chat like this

SHIRAKAWA: or exchange messages?

SHIRAKAWA: I find being around you relaxing, Odokawa-san.

SHIRAKAWA: I should've told Odokawa-san the truth from the start, but...

SHIRAKAWA: What? Capoeira?

SHIRAKAWA: Of course I've never actually used it on anyone. Not at that time, anyway.

SHIRAKAWA: Oh, right. A queixada is—

SHIRAKAWA: What? You don't need me to show you?

SHIRAKAWA: This isn't that kind of interview? Aw, shucks.

KAKIHANA: You think I'm stupid, don't you? Well, join the club.

KAKIHANA: But sometimes you gotta close your eyes

KAKIHANA: and pretend you can't see, or else you can't get up.

KAKIHANA: Love is both a painful and beautiful thing.

SHIBAGAKI: Hey, you! What are you trying to do?

WADAGAKI: What? No outside food allowed?

WADAGAKI: Who cares?

WADAGAKI: See? None of the staff are saying anything.

WADAGAKI: My mom told me I should do what I want, no matter how small.

WADAGAKI: For example, even if you only think "I want cake" for a second,

WADAGAKI: you'll come up with reasons not to have some,

WADAGAKI: like you'd have to go out and buy it,

WADAGAKI: or that it's expensive, or it'll make you fat.

WADAGAKI: If you keep granting even your smallest wishes,

WADAGAKI: then you're someone who makes their dreams come true.

WADAGAKI: Isn't that amazing?

WADAGAKI: So I do everything I instinctively feel like doing.

WADAGAKI: That's what I've decided.

WADAGAKI: I think that's the reason I became a part of Mystery Kiss.

WADAGAKI: I have an attachment to it. It's my soul food.

ODOKAWA: What's soul food?

WADAGAKI: I don't know. It's just a feeling.

YAMAMOTO: It's like local cuisine or the taste of your mother's cooking, right?

WADAGAKI: Yeah. The fried chicken my mom used to make was so good.

WADAGAKI: Is Nikaido-san coming today?

YAMATO: She's showing up late.

WADAGAKI: Don't you think she gets too much special treatment?

WADAGAKI: Lucky... I wish I got the same.

YAMAMOTO: Keep working at it, Mitsuya.

YAMAMOTO: Didn't you promise your mom you'd follow your dreams when you came to Tokyo?

WADAGAKI: Yeah, but...

WADAGAKI: Hey, a fried chicken restaurant!

WADAGAKI: What? The phone?

WADAGAKI: Oh, yeah. I got in the wrong taxi.

WADAGAKI: I did it because the passenger asked me to do it.

WADAGAKI: I wasn't really thinking about anything.

WADAGAKI: The same way I do things I want to do,

WADAGAKI: they probably had something they wanted to do, too.

WADAGAKI: After all, I really do wish everyone's dreams could come true.

WADAGAKI: If only there were enough chairs for everyone.

WADAGAKI: It's people who have given up on their dreams

WADAGAKI: who criticize that or try to hold others back.

YAMAMOTO: Head inside and start practicing by yourself.

WADAGAKI: Aw, what?

YAMAMOTO: Don't whine. You're the newest, Mitsuya.

YAMAMOTO: You need to work harder than the others.

WADAGAKI: Fine...

DRIVER: Boy, am I delighted.

DRIVER: As a taxi driver, that's the number one thing I want someone to say to me.

DRIVER: "Follow that car."

ICHIMURA: I just wanted to be rich.

ICHIMURA: I only auditioned because I didn't know of any other way.

ICHIMURA: I thought I'd be able to live off the royalties if I made my major debut,

ICHIMURA: but the reality is so bad, I would've made more money if I'd gotten a proper job.

ICHIMURA: What do I want if I do get rich?

ICHIMURA: Bathe in some hot springs and take it easy.

ICHIMURA: I don't want to work.

ICHIMURA: Is Nikaido-san coming?

YAMAMOTO: Later.

ICHIMURA: I can't keep up with her ambition.

YAMAMOTO: You can work at your own pace.

ICHIMURA: She's incredible. I bet she'd k*ll someone just to get ahead.

ICHIMURA: She probably already has, honestly.

YAMAMOTO: What are you talking about?

ICHIMURA: How crazy is Nikaido-san?

ICHIMURA: I can't explain it with words. You have to experience it to understand it.

ICHIMURA: I simply wasn't suited to this world.

ICHIMURA: Which part exactly? I don't know.

ICHIMURA: I guess it comes down to whether or not you think it's fun.

ICHIMURA: I didn't feel anything when I was told we'd get to debut.

ICHIMURA: It didn't feel real.

ICHIMURA: Oh, shit. I just figured it out.

ICHIMURA: It's because I haven't been paid much.

ICHIMURA: Exchanging messages with old dudes is exhausting, too—

YAMAMOTO: Hey.

IMAI: What? Kakihana?

ICHIMURA: Why? Oh, shit.

YAMAMOTO: Mitsuya's already inside.

ICHIMURA: I don't like her. I liked things better before.

YAMAMOTO: Ichimura.

YAMAMOTO: Your innocence is your strength, but consider the time, place, and occasion.

YAMAMOTO: This isn't what I agreed to.

YAMAMOTO: I was told this was an interview concerning Mystery Kiss's debut.

YAMAMOTO: Debut? Of course they will.

YAMAMOTO: It goes on sale tomorrow.

YAMAMOTO: Canceled? What are you talking about?

YAMAMOTO: If you don't start making sense, I'm leaving.

YAMAMOTO: I'm busy right now.

YAMAMOTO: By the way, Driver, could I get your business card?

YAMAMOTO: Ideally, I'd like to use the same person to drive them around.

YAMAMOTO: You seem tight-lipped, too.

ODOKAWA: I won't always be available, so don't get your hopes up.

SIGN: Driver Hiroshi Odokawa

YAMAMOTO: The taxi? Does that have anything to do with this?

YAMAMOTO: I believe it's common to hire a driver for girls who are in the public eye.

SIGN: Mystery Kiss

ODOKAWA: Is your office in Kamimeguro the place with the bar on the first floor?

YAMAMOTO: Yeah, that's it. You know the place?

ODOKAWA: I was just thinking about how I once drove a girl there.

YAMAMOTO: What? When?

ODOKAWA: About two weeks ago, I think.

ODOKAWA: She must've been from your agency.

YAMAMOTO: It was probably one of the girls you drove today.

YAMAMOTO: The only group we manage is Mystery Kiss.

ODOKAWA: Maybe.

ODOKAWA: Girls that age, especially ones trying to be idols, all look the same to me.

YAMAMOTO: You said you recognized the second girl, Shiho Ichimura.

YAMAMOTO: It must've been her.

ODOKAWA: She's a calico cat. The other girl was a little different.

YAMAMOTO: Oh, yeah.

YAMAMOTO: He mentioned he happened to give a ride to one of our girls,

YAMAMOTO: so I thought he'd be perfect.

YAMAMOTO: Nothing more, nothing less.

YAMAMOTO: Does this car have a recording device?

ODOKAWA: Why?

YAMAMOTO: Sometimes you see them in the news.

YAMAMOTO: You know, in stories about robberies.

ODOKAWA: Yeah, I've got one.

YAMAMOTO: Any chance I could get your data?

YAMAMOTO: Regarding the dash cam data, as I said at the time,

YAMAMOTO: I just thought it'd be nice if I could use it for promotional purposes.

YAMAMOTO: Doesn't it seem like it'd be pretty slick?

YAMAMOTO: It's candid footage of the girls in transit.

YAMAMOTO: Familiar, authentic content is better received these days

YAMAMOTO: over anything that's manufactured.

YAMAMOTO: Real people, without any lies.

SIGN: Mystery Kiss

YAMAMOTO: Huh? Then it doesn't make sense to wear masks?

YAMAMOTO: That's part of our— Y'know, the presentation.

YAMAMOTO: Lies? Nothing I've said is a lie.

GORIKI: Honestly, I'm still not sure

GORIKI: how deep I should be digging into Odokawa's past.

GORIKI: But as his doctor and friend,

GORIKI: I couldn't sit by and watch as he got dragged into a mysterious situation.

GORIKI: It's not about his past or illness.

GORIKI: I just want to take away the struggles he experiences while just living.

GORIKI: No, maybe even that's too presumptuous of me.

GORIKI: But I think he changed at some point.

GORIKI: He's actively associating with others.

GORIKI: You've changed, Odokawa.

GORIKI: The cause? Well, probably Shirakawa-san.

ODOKAWA: Unusually enough, two people asked to meet me today.

DOBU: Shirakawa? It must've come as a shock to Odokawa.

DOBU: Odokawa's easy to read.

DOBU: Despite how he seems, his emotions always show on his face.

DOBU: My victory was certain the moment I won him over.

DOBU: What's "winning" and "losing" in this situation?

DOBU: Money and honor.

ODOKAWA: Couldn't you have picked a better place to meet?

DOBU: What's wrong with here?

DOBU: Yano's overconfident.

DOBU: Whether they're respectable citizens or wimps,

DOBU: you gotta use everything you can.

DOBU: I'm really grateful to Odokawa.

DOBU: He might hate me more than anything,

DOBU: but in another timeline, we could've been friends.

DOBU: C'mon, I'm surrounded by enemies.

DOBU: I've made blunder after blunder. I'm desperate.

DOBU: I lost something important that the boss gave me.

DOBU: And recently, a video of some amateur claiming he'll catch me

DOBU: has gotten ten million views. I'm having an awful time.

DOBU: It doesn't change the fact I was in a tough situation.

DOBU: I never thought anyone would dig that up.

DOBU: Important stuff is buried in the ground. Right?

DOBU: Like ancient ruins and your ancestors, too.

DOBU: Oh, Kabasawa?

SIGN: [Declaration of w*r] I'll catch Dobu by the end of the year! [Taichi Kabasawa]

KABASAWA: Hello, Taichi Kabasawa here.

KABASAWA: I have an announcement to make.

KABASAWA: I, Taichi Kabasawa, will capture Dobu by the end of the year.

DOBU: He was a real nuisance then.

DOBU: Just how strong a headwind was blowing against me, you know?

DOBU: But that headwind was proof I was getting a running start on something.

DOBU: Guys trying to fly high always face headwinds like that.

DOBU: It comes down to how you receive that wind on your wings.

DOBU: Yeah, that's right. I felt buoyant at the time,

DOBU: when I figured out who wanted the dash cam data.

ODOKAWA: It's Mystery Kiss's manager.

DOBU: Mystery Kiss?

SHIBAGAKI: If I won a billion yen?

SHIBAGAKI: Normally you wouldn't tell anyone.

SHIBAGAKI: But not only did he blab to everyone, he even posted online about it.

SIGN: Imai@Nikaido fan account@Nikaidorui_love – day ago I can't stop shaking...

SHIBAGAKI: It's true he brought it on himself,

SHIBAGAKI: but he said he was gonna spend it all on Mystery Kiss.

SHIBAGAKI: He's out of his mind.

SHIBAGAKI: But I did think it was kind of cool, too.

SHIBAGAKI: After all, I'm a comedian.

IMAI: Anyway, Odokawa-sama, I wanted to thank you.

ODOKAWA: You don't need to do that.

IMAI: Do you just not feel desire?!

IMAI: Come with me.

SIGN: Kabukicho Ichiban-gai

SHIBAGAKI: I'm amazed Imai-san did that when he hadn't cashed his ticket yet.

SHIBAGAKI: Odokawa-san? He was clearly bothered by the whole thing.

SHIBAGAKI: Imai-san must think everyone loves cabaret clubs.

SHIBAGAKI: There's no way a guy like Odokawa-san would enjoy them.

SHIBAGAKI: Regarding the incident?

SHIBAGAKI: I feel comfortable saying this since no one got hurt, but I found it exciting.

SHIBAGAKI: Y'know what I mean?

SHIBAGAKI: Witnesses always seem kind of happy, you know?

SIGN: Miho Shirakawa

SIGN: Missed Call Missed Call Missed Call Missed Call Missed Call Missed Call

SIGN: Don't ever get involved with me again.

SHIBAGAKI: It's just that some of them realize it and some of them don't.

SHIBAGAKI: Hold on. What are you doing?

SHIBAGAKI: What is this? Is this for Halloween? It's not Halloween yet.

SHIBAGAKI: Don't you think you're being hasty?

SHIBAGAKI: I've heard people riot every year,

SHIBAGAKI: but this is the first time I've seen a one-man riot.

SHIBAGAKI: Why? I really do think it'd be funny if I got shot.

SHIBAGAKI: Crazy? I wouldn't be a comedian if I wasn't crazy.

SHIBAGAKI: Hold on. It's my partner.

BABA: Hello, Shibagaki?

BABA: I'm returning your call. What's up?

SHIBAGAKI: Let's review our material.

BABA: My on-location sh**t's about to start.

SHIBAGAKI: sh**t for what?

BABA: The "What's for Lunch?" spin-off.

BABA: A special live broadcast called "Where You Going on Christmas Eve?"

SHIBAGAKI: Where are you going?

SHIBAGAKI: In any case, the contest's tomorrow.

SHIBAGAKI: Make sure you've got the café hideaway bit memorized.

BABA: Fine.

SHIRAKAWA: I went to tell him everything.

SHIRAKAWA: I don't expect him to forgive me.

SHIRAKAWA: I told Odokawa-san about everything,

SHIRAKAWA: including my relationship with Dobu-san and the reason I approached him.

SHIRAKAWA: I hoped I could still help him regardless.

SHIRAKAWA: What did you mean when you told me not to get involved with you?

SHIRAKAWA: Odokawa-san is ignoring me!

ODOKAWA: Hey, be quiet. You're bothering the neighbors.

SHIRAKAWA: I just wanted to ease my own conscience?

SHIRAKAWA: Yeah, maybe.

ODOKAWA: I know.

ODOKAWA: The way you think that depending on what I do, you might still

ODOKAWA: be able to salvage the situation is obnoxious, too—

SHIRAKAWA: Wait.

SHIRAKAWA: I saw the way Odokawa-san was changing and felt I had to change, too.

SHIRAKAWA: After all, I owed him everything.

SHIRAKAWA: Because I love you.

SHIRAKAWA: I decided that I'd protect him.

ODOKAWA: Don't ever get involved with me again.

SHIRAKAWA: Even if he rejected me.

ODOKAWA: I'm tired.

DOBU: Yano called me old, too.

DOBU: I didn't think the internet had that kind of power.

DOBU: Don't you think it's weird, though?

KABASAWA: Hello, Taichi Kabasawa here.

SIGN: [Shocking] Video of sh**ting at Shinjuku cabaret club acquired! [Dobu]

KABASAWA: Do you guys know there was a sh**ting yesterday

KABASAWA: at cabaret club "White dolphin" in Shinjuku?

KABASAWA: It was on the news, but would you believe it?

KABASAWA: A listener who happened to be there sent me a video.

KABASAWA: This must be Dobu.

KABASAWA: More and more of Dobu's vile acts are being exposed to the light of day.

KABASAWA: But I believe Taichi Kabasawa's unifying force has grown that strong.

KABASAWA: That this is a blessing.

KABASAWA: Proof that I've grown closer to becoming a god.

SIGN: Divine Judgment

KABASAWA: Dobu, your time has nearly come!

KABASAWA: I have a million followers. I am a god.

ODOKAWA: You're looking haggard.

KABASAWA: Are you prepared to pay for your crimes?!

ODOKAWA: I guess you're surprisingly delicate.

DOBU: The missing girl case in Nerima and the sh**ting in Shinjuku

DOBU: should have nothing to do with us,

DOBU: but if you trace it back far enough, they're both connected to me and Odokawa.

DOBU: It's strange, right?

SIGN: [Shocking] Video of sh**ting at Shinjuku cabaret club acquired! [Dobu]

DOBU: The sh**ting? You've seen the video.

DOBU: That guy in the skull mask was clearly trying to k*ll Odokawa.

DOBU: What, you know about that already?

DOBU: Then there's no need for me to hide it.

DOBU: Yeah, that's right. That was the g*n the boss gave me.

DOBU: For some reason the guy who acquired my g*n is trying to k*ll Odokawa.

DOBU: I have no idea what's going on.

DOBU: But thanks to him, my interests aligned with Odokawa's.

DOBU: Why don't we join forces, then?

ODOKAWA: Join forces?

DOBU: Oh, yeah. Odokawa's condition was hilarious.

ODOKAWA: Release Shirakawa-san.

ODOKAWA: Write off her debt.

DOBU: Fine. I promise.

SIGN: [Shocking] Video of sh**ting at Shinjuku cabaret club acquired! [Dobu]

DOBU: I'm gonna look for the man with the g*n.

DOBU: Odokawa, I need you to catch Taichi Kabasawa.

ODOKAWA: This guy, huh? I gave him a ride once.

DOBU: I know. I saved our group photo.

ODOKAWA: We know Taichi Kabasawa's identity, so we can do something about him.

ODOKAWA: But how are you going to find the guy with the g*n?

DOBU: Halloween.

DOBU: Why? Because Halloween's the only day we can walk around in public.

DOBU: Me, skull mask, and Kabasawa. Right?

DOBU: It felt like the stage had been set for me.

SIGN: [Shocking] Video of sh**ting at Shinjuku cabaret club acquired! [Dobu]

DOBU: Not only that, I even had Odokawa's special ability.

ODOKAWA: I'll be fine. I'm good at finding people in a crowd.

DOBU: Why? You've got good eyes or something?

ODOKAWA: What do you mean, why?

ODOKAWA: If anything, I find it strange that you guys are so bad at it.

LITTLE DAIMON: Who the hell are you guys?!

LITTLE DAIMON: I can't believe you identified the internet café I'm staying at

LITTLE DAIMON: from the pork cutlet place I always order from.

LITTLE DAIMON: Huh? A private investigator?

LITTLE DAIMON: What? That's so rad.

LITTLE DAIMON: You're detectives, right? That's so rad.

LITTLE DAIMON: You're the opposite of evil

LITTLE DAIMON: and go after bad guys the police can't pursue.

LITTLE DAIMON: What? Right now?

LITTLE DAIMON: I'm taking a break.

LITTLE DAIMON: I'm sure you guys had days when you didn't want to go to school, either.

LITTLE DAIMON: It's like skipping school.

LITTLE DAIMON: Who cares why?

LITTLE DAIMON: I'm ignoring all my brother's calls.

LITTLE DAIMON: What am I gonna do?!

LITTLE DAIMON: I went to Odokawa's place 'cause he said someone fired sh*ts into his home.

KOSHIRO: Hey, are we going inside your house?

ODOKAWA: Yeah.

KOSHIRO: But you're, y'know—

KOSHIRO: this is mad awkward, and I'm not sure how to say it, but don't you have

KOSHIRO: that Nerima high school girl locked up in there?

ODOKAWA: That was incredibly direct. But no, of course not.

LITTLE DAIMON: My brother said Odokawa's evil, so I was real careful.

LITTLE DAIMON: But that's when Odokawa told me something unbelievable.

KOSHIRO: What are you talking about?

ODOKAWA: But now, your brother is evil.

KOSHIRO: Listen, you. It's true that my brother chooses black when we play Othello.

KOSHIRO: Whenever we played tag, he always wanted to be it.

KOSHIRO: But that doesn't mean—

ODOKAWA: Your brother is working with Dobu.

KOSHIRO: I heard about that already. I asked my brother about it.

KOSHIRO: He told me that he's not.

ODOKAWA: You believe him?

KOSHIRO: Of course.

KOSHIRO: Between you and my brother, obviously I believe my brother!

KOSHIRO: What kind of twins do you think we are?

KOSHIRO: We're identical twins.

ODOKAWA: I'm working with Dobu right now.

KOSHIRO: Whoa! You're evil!

ODOKAWA: Calm down. I'm pretending to work with him.

KOSHIRO: But you'll just gradually become more evil by pretending to work with him!

LITTLE DAIMON: I thought, "Sure enough," you know? My brother was right.

LITTLE DAIMON: But what Odokawa told me after that really caught my attention.

LITTLE DAIMON: Huh? Basically, Yano and Dobu were competing to see

LITTLE DAIMON: Skull mask's g*n was actually Dobu's,

LITTLE DAIMON: and Taichi Kabasawa was following Dobu around.

LITTLE DAIMON: It was like the relationship chart of a sordid love story.

LITTLE DAIMON: That's when Odokawa told me he wanted to bring down the whole g*ng.

LITTLE DAIMON: It's true that even if I wanted to arrest Dobu,

LITTLE DAIMON: someone else would always show up.

LITTLE DAIMON: We were playing cat-and-mouse with him.

LITTLE DAIMON: Then he told me something even more surprising.

ODOKAWA: Getting to down to business, Dobu is planning to rob a bank soon.

KOSHIRO: That's clearly evil! It'd be a repeat offense!

ODOKAWA: He thinks I'll help him do it,

ODOKAWA: so you'll arrest Dobu then, Little Daimon.

KOSHIRO: That's amazing if it's true, but you'll be arrested, too, Odokawa.

ODOKAWA: That's fine. We're doing this to punish evil.

KOSHIRO: You're the opposite of evil.

ODOKAWA: Why not just call me good?

LITTLE DAIMON: I guess I didn't quite believe him.

LITTLE DAIMON: Like, maybe he was lying about my brother, but the rest of it was true.

LITTLE DAIMON: In any case, I wanted to confirm things for myself.

RADIO: MPD to all stations.

RADIO: An unidentified body has been found at the mouth of the Sumida River.

RADIO: Nearby police box, please head there.

RADIO: I repeat, MPD to all stations...

KOSHIRO: I gotta go.

ODOKAWA: Do you believe me?

KOSHIRO: Of course not!

KOSHIRO: But I'll hear you out, if it means punishing evil.

SIGN: / (Wed)

SIGN: Dobu-san told me that he doesn't need my help or money anymore. There seemed to be some reason for it, but I guess this means my relationship has been dissolved. I hope you'll forgive me.

DOBU: I didn't think we'd find him that easily.

WOMAN A: Here we go.

WOMAN B: Do I look cute?

MAN B: This is insane.

DOBU: According to recent information, he's around here.

DOBU: They've even uploaded photos, so it should be fairly credible.

DOBU: Huh?

DOBU: Stand a little farther away from me.

ODOKAWA: What are you going to do?

DOBU: I'll follow you,

DOBU: and if I get the chance, I'll drag him into a deserted alleyway.

ODOKAWA: He's got a g*n, right?

DOBU: He'd better have it.

DOBU: I had to make an example of him.

DOBU: An example of what happens when you try to go up against me.

DOBU: But don't get it twisted.

DOBU: I don't casually engage in v*olence.

SKULL: Stay back, or I'll sh**t.

DOBU: I should've known better.

DOBU: But in that moment, I was careless.

DOBU: It's fake.

DOBU: Hey, where's the real g*n?

DOBU: I didn't think anyone was filming me.

DOBU: Huh? Where the hell is it?

DOBU: Where is it, huh?

ODOKAWA: Hey, Dobu. On the left.

ODOKAWA: It's Kabasawa.

DOBU: That assh*le!

DOBU: It's no use.

ODOKAWA: Wow. This is impossible.

KAKIHANA: Sorry to keep you waiting, Shiho-chan.

ICHIMURA: It's fine. You came at just the right time, Kakki.

KAKIHANA: One of my subordinates made a mistake.

KAKIHANA: I had to clean up after—Huh?

YAMAMOTO: Good work. Be careful on your way home.

SEKIGUCHI: What do you guys want?

SEKIGUCHI: Kakihana? Don't know him.

SEKIGUCHI: You got proof or something?

YAMAMOTO: A car? I guess I must've requested one.

YAMAMOTO: If that's what the data says, then I must have.

YAMAMOTO: I don't remember every little thing.

DOBU: That's all for today. I'll come up with a new plan.

SIGN: Fuyuki Yamamoto Incoming Call

ODOKAWA: Hello?

YAMAMOTO: Ah, Odokawa-san. Could you come pick me up right away?

ODOKAWA: This is sudden. Does it have to be me?

YAMAMOTO: Aren't most pickups sudden?

YAMAMOTO: It's one of those girls who can't be seen by the public.

ODOKAWA: Where?

DOBU: I tested them to see how much value Yano placed on that dash cam data.

DOBU: Fine. If he asks for your dash cam data, tell him this.

DOBU: You'll sell it to him for one billion yen.

ICHIMURA: Yeah, we went to the wharf to see a guy named Yano.

YAMAMOTO: Sorry, Odokawa-san. Could you take us to Shibaura Harbor in a hurry?

ODOKAWA: The harbor?

ODOKAWA: Hey, it's the girl who likes hot springs.

ICHIMURA: They had me engaged in some shady business getting close to rich old men.

ICHIMURA: I said I wanted to quit,

ICHIMURA: but Nikaido-san told me I had to do what I could for Mystery Kiss.

ICHIMURA: Crazy, right?

ICHIMURA: That's not an idol's job.

ICHIMURA: It's not like we're releasing our CD.

ICHIMURA: Mystery Kiss is over, right?

ICHIMURA: I'm done.

ICHIMURA: Yeah, my manager Yamamoto-san asked the taxi driver

ICHIMURA: to give him his dash cam data.

ODOKAWA: I'll sell it to you.

YAMAMOTO: For how much?

ODOKAWA: One billion.

ICHIMURA: I didn't get what was going on, but I thought it was crazy.

YAMAMOTO: This is ridiculous, Odokawa-san. You're gouging me here.

ODOKAWA: I found someone who said they'd buy it for million.

ODOKAWA: That's why I want one billion.

YAMAMOTO: You're lying.

YAMAMOTO: Who is it?

ODOKAWA: I can't tell you that.

YAMAMOTO: I went to the wharf in Shibaura on Halloween?

YAMAMOTO: Did Ichimura tell you that?

SEKIGUCHI: Doesn't this seem like not enough profit?

SEKIGUCHI: Is this all we make from concerts?

YAMAMOTO: They weren't the only ones performing today.

YAMAMOTO: More importantly, I've got some bad news.

YAMAMOTO: Could I talk to him for a few minutes?

SEKIGUCHI: Bad news?

YAMAMOTO: It's about the dash cam.

KAKIHANA: Shiho-chan!

KAKIHANA: You're being tricked, right?

KAKIHANA: I'll protect you from these guys!

ICHIMURA: I did feel bad for him.

ICHIMURA: We went out to dinner a few times.

ICHIMURA: I'd developed about two millimeters of feelings for him.

ICHIMURA: But I think out of a hundred people, all one hundred would feel the same.

ICHIMURA: You just can't sympathize with him completely.

ICHIMURA: After all, he's the liar. Damn.

KAKIHANA: You're lying! Liar!

KAKIHANA: You're not the kind of girl who says that!

KAKIHANA: Shiho-chan, you're a liar!

ICHIMURA: You're the liar, you bum. You're broke.

KAKIHANA: Why?! Why would you say that?!

KAKIHANA: I don't believe you! You're lying!

SEKIGUCHI: Shut up.

KABASAWA: The Online Salon is jumping at shadows now!

KABASAWA: Show them our solidarity! Catch them!

KABASAWA: Catch Dobu! Catch the traitor!

MAN: This thing has a ton of views. I bet he's made a lot of money.

KABASAWA: That's right, you! I promise I'll expose you!

WOMAN: I know, right? But apparently he's starting to gain haters.

WOMAN: They say he's a one-hit wonder and a coward.

DOBU: Tomorrow, Yano's going to rob a bank.

DOBU: I'm gonna rob a bank.

ODOKAWA: What? Sorry, I wasn't listening.

SIGN: Recording .wav

ODOKAWA: Apparently my friend is missing.

DOBU: I'm going to rob a bank.

ODOKAWA: Are you stupid? How, in this day and age?

DOBU: To be precise, I'm going to rob someone who's at the bank to make a withdrawal.

DOBU: I want you to help me.

ODOKAWA: Is the risk-return worth it?

ODOKAWA: Nobody walks around with that much cash.

DOBU: It's worth the risk. After all, he'll have one billion yen.

ODOKAWA: What do you mean? Explain.

DOBU: It takes a week or two to get enough cash for a large withdrawal.

DOBU: They're supposed to contact me when that happens.

DOBU: They'll let me know who's receiving how much cash on what day at what time,

DOBU: because I've bribed a bank employee.

ODOKAWA: And then you're free to do what you want with them?

DOBU: That's right. That's when the real crime begins.

ODOKAWA: Where did the number one billion yen come from?

DOBU: The bank in question exchanges lottery tickets for money.

DOBU: Anyone who wins a large amount has to go there.

ODOKAWA: Even so, nobody would withdraw that much money in cash.

DOBU: But recently, someone has appeared on the internet

DOBU: claiming to have won one billion yen.

DOBU: A guy who works under Yano named Sekiguchi

DOBU: has a sharp eye for that kind of thing.

DOBU: I figured he'd already determined the location

DOBU: of Imai, the guy who'd won the lottery.

DOBU: That's how I came up with the number one billion.

DOBU: They had to be desperate to get their hands on the dash cam data.

DOBU: You better not tell the cops about this.

DOBU: I'm leaving him be for now. It'll all be settled tomorrow.

ODOKAWA: I doubt the bank employees will help you.

ODOKAWA: Do you have other allies?

DOBU: Among the police, yeah.

ODOKAWA: Who?

DOBU: Who, huh? I'm sure you have some idea.

ODOKAWA: I don't. Who is it?

DOBU: Daimon.

IMAI: Ow. What was that for, Odokawa-sama?

ODOKAWA: What did you just say?

SHIBAGAKI: I hear a lot of dangerous talk working at a cabaret club.

SHIBAGAKI: I figure they're exaggerating, so I don't take it seriously.

DOBU: Yeah. They'll tell me the time and date that the cash will be handed over.

DOBU: Make sure you drum it into your head, Odokawa.

ODOKAWA: Got it.

DOBU: Then I'll get into your taxi.

ODOKAWA: Where do we head next?

DOBU: They'll probably head to their hideout at the wharf.

DOBU: Along the way, Big Daimon's patrol car will probably stop them around here.

ODOKAWA: You're using every service vehicle you can.

DOBU: After dropping me off nearby, you'll wait here.

DOBU: While Yano and the police are making a fuss,

DOBU: After confirming I have the million, I'll get back into your taxi.

DOBU: We'll head back to the parking lot where the car with million is waiting.

ICHIMURA: Yeah. It's like a dream.

NIKAIDO: Why did the two of you want to become idols?

ICHIMURA: My family's poor.

NIKAIDO: Yuki Mitsuya was already...

NIKAIDO: I didn't k*ll anyone.

NIKAIDO: I swear to God I didn't.

NIKAIDO: Yamamoto-san...

NIKAIDO: Mitsuya-san was wary that I'd asked to meet,

NIKAIDO: so she contacted Yamamoto-san.

NIKAIDO: Why didn't I call the police?

NIKAIDO: I think it's because Yamamoto-san didn't believe me

NIKAIDO: from the bottom of his heart.

NIKAIDO: He considered the possibility that I'd done it.

NIKAIDO: He thought it'd be better to erase one member of Mystery Kiss than lose two.

NIKAIDO: So he called Yano.

YANO: I might've grown up on the streets, but corpses make my skin crawl.

YANO: Looks like she was bludgeoned, then seems like she was choked.

YANO: As a man who wears tailor-made suits from Don Quijote,

YANO: that's how I think she croaked.

NIKAIDO: Both Yamamoto-san and Yano told me to leave,

NIKAIDO: but because I'd started this mess,

NIKAIDO: I said I wanted to see it through and stayed.

NIKAIDO: Then, we threw Yuki Mitsuya's body into the harbor.

NIKAIDO: There was nothing else we could do.

NIKAIDO: No matter what we chose, Mystery Kiss was over.

NIKAIDO: Yamamoto-san is the only one who hasn't given up yet.

NIKAIDO: Wadagaki-san...

NIKAIDO: Apparently she'd been waiting two years

NIKAIDO: for a follow-up audition to join Mystery Kiss.

NIKAIDO: When she heard Mystery Kiss was making its major debut,

NIKAIDO: she couldn't help herself anymore and showed up at the office.

NIKAIDO: We need to get used to it, so I'm going to call you Mitsuya-san. Sorry.

WADAGAKI: That's okay. I'm here to be Yuki Mitsuya.

NIKAIDO: Mitsuya-san, you don't mind not using your own face or name?

WADAGAKI: Not at all.

WADAGAKI: When I failed this audition, I refused to accept it.

WADAGAKI: I went to speak directly with Yamamoto.

WADAGAKI: "Lemme in, lemme in, lemme in!" I said.

NIKAIDO: That's impressive.

WADAGAKI: I mean, when I failed, they told me I was their fourth choice.

WADAGAKI: Isn't that frustrating? I almost made it. I was so close.

NIKAIDO: You didn't think about auditioning somewhere else?

WADAGAKI: Nah. After all, I heard you had passed.

WADAGAKI: I knew you'd be famous.

NIKAIDO: You want to be famous?

WADAGAKI: I do.

WADAGAKI: I'm from a single-parent home.

WADAGAKI: I want to get famous, so my mom back in Kyushu can take it easy.

WADAGAKI: Even though she works, she wakes up early to pack a lunch for me.

NIKAIDO: I see.

WADAGAKI: I feel like I've always caused nothing but trouble for my mom.

WADAGAKI: I don't have any strengths, you know?

WADAGAKI: Sometimes I wish I could just disappear,

GORIKI: Hey, Odokawa. What do I look like to you?

ODOKAWA: A human.

GORIKI: I see. Does that scare you?

ODOKAWA: No, I'm not scared. I'm okay.

SHIRAKAWA: What about me?

SHIRAKAWA: What? You're scared of me?

ODOKAWA: No. You're... pretty.

ODOKAWA: What? The guy who shot Dobu?

ODOKAWA: I think he was a puma.

ODOKAWA: Don't be so angry.

ODOKAWA: I'm not joking around.

ODOKAWA: Trying to remember makes my head hurt.

SHIRAKAWA: Would you like some jelly? Or would you prefer pudding?

SHIRAKAWA: Odokawa-san, you'll probably be interviewed at some point,

SHIRAKAWA: but once things settle down, I'd like to go to the zoo.

ODOKAWA: Right now I'm more interested in my plans for the future than my past.

IMAI: Odokawa-sama, are you feeling all right?

ODOKAWA: Thankfully, I'm doing okay.

ODOKAWA: Oh, it's Imai.

IMAI: That's great!

ODOKAWA: More importantly, are you okay? That idol...

IMAI: It came as a huge shock,

IMAI: and if she really did do it, that would be a terrible thing,

IMAI: but when I think about it, getting to visit an idol in prison is a precious experience.

ODOKAWA: You're looking at this really positively.

ODOKAWA: Right. That reminds me.

ODOKAWA: The girl I drove late at night on October th to the Mystery Kiss office...

IMAI: Huh? What are you talking about?

ODOKAWA: On the night of October th, I drove a black cat

ODOKAWA: from Nerima to the office in Kamimeguro.

ODOKAWA: It wasn't that Nikaido girl.

ODOKAWA: I won't be able to tell if you show me a photo.

ODOKAWA: Her name's Sakura Wadagaki? Yeah, that's it.

ODOKAWA: I figured I should tell you.

ODOKAWA: Maybe you should look into her.

ODOKAWA: You think it was Rui Nikaido?

ODOKAWA: Sure, whatever. That's fine, I guess.

ODOKAWA: Are we done here? Seriously, I'm tired.

ODOKAWA: I'm sure you're busy, what with it being the New Year, and all.

ODOKAWA: Another? Ugh.

ODOKAWA: No, I guess there's not much you can do about that.

ODOKAWA: Work? I'm starting tomorrow.

FUKUMOTO: For h*m*.

KONDO: Don't say their name.

FUKUMOTO: There's nothing wrong with saying their name.

KONDO: Right. It's okay to mention their name.

FUKUMOTO: Can you believe Baba-san was dating a m*rder*r?

KONDO: You're not supposed to say that.

FUKUMOTO: Everyone will creeped out unless I say it.

KONDO: She's still only a suspect.

FUKUMOTO: Forget about that. We're here to produce a proper radio show.

WADAGAKI: Mom, how are you?

WADAGAKI: Yeah, I transferred to a bigger agency.

WADAGAKI: Yeah. Things are going so well, it's almost scary.

WADAGAKI: At first, I hounded the manager after I failed an audition.

WADAGAKI: Thinking about it now makes me laugh.

WADAGAKI: I was frustrated, though.

WADAGAKI: Yeah, it went well.

WADAGAKI: If they hadn't become famous after that, I think I would've been content.

WADAGAKI: But when I heard they'd be releasing their first CD, I couldn't sit still anymore.

WADAGAKI: Yeah, everything's going well.

WADAGAKI: Honestly, I wasn't expecting to lose someone else,

WADAGAKI: but I get more attention because of that.

WADAGAKI: I'm thinking about losing another and becoming a solo act.

WADAGAKI: What? I'm too greedy?

WADAGAKI: No, nothing for now.

WADAGAKI: All I headed out to do was find the taxi I rode in then.

WADAGAKI: I think I found it.

SIGN: Aozora ComedyFestival

WADAGAKI: It was a total coincidence. I must be lucky after all.

WADAGAKI: You don't remember me?

ODOKAWA: Have I given you a ride before?

ODOKAWA: Sorry. You're not the only one I don't remember.

WADAGAKI: It's fine. I just thought you'd freak out a little more.

ODOKAWA: Huh?

WADAGAKI: Nothing.

ODOKAWA: So, where to?

WADAGAKI: Uh, well...

WADAGAKI: Here's fine.

ODOKAWA: "Here's fine"?

WADAGAKI: Yeah, here's fine.

ODOKAWA: "Here's fine"?!

WADAGAKI: Oh, you can run the meter.

ODOKAWA: I don't know what to say to that.

WADAGAKI: I just wanna talk a little.

WADAGAKI: Give me five—No, three minutes.

ODOKAWA: You know this isn't a car for k*lling time, right?

WADAGAKI: I said I'd pay.

ODOKAWA: I can't carry on a conversation unless I'm driving.

ODOKAWA: It makes me uneasy.

WADAGAKI: But the city's full of cameras, you know?

ODOKAWA: Cameras?

ODOKAWA: Oh, yeah. I've got one right here.

WADAGAKI: That one's fine. I can just grab it later.

WADAGAKI: I say that, but I'm here today because I couldn't get my hands on it before.

WADAGAKI: All I've got is my good luck.

ODOKAWA: Oh, yeah? I'm lucky, too.

WADAGAKI: Then it's my luck against your luck.

ODOKAWA: Is your leg okay?

SHIRAKAWA: No, but we'd better go while we can.

ODOKAWA: Couldn't we have gone once you were better?

SHIRAKAWA: I decided I'm going, so I'm going.

SHIRAKAWA: Odokawa-san, what animal do you want to see?

ODOKAWA: What? Uh, alpacas.

SHIRAKAWA: Why? Why, why?

ODOKAWA: Why?

SHIRAKAWA: Yeah, why?

ODOKAWA: Because I like them.

SHIRAKAWA: You said it.

ODOKAWA: About alpacas.

SHIRAKAWA: Uh-huh...

ODOKAWA: I was talking about alpacas.

SHIRAKAWA: What about alpacas?

ODOKAWA: I... like them.

SHIRAKAWA: You said it again.

ODOKAWA: You're so annoying.

SHIRAKAWA: Hey, Odokawa-san.

ODOKAWA: Huh?

SHIRAKAWA: We're going for a drive, aren't we?

ODOKAWA: Yeah.

SHIRAKAWA: You think I could ride in passenger seat?

ODOKAWA: Oh, sorry.
