**[00:01] Kyouka**
I may have needed more soy sauce.
**[00:01] Kyouka**
I may have needed more soy sauce.
**[00:15] Kyouka**
I don't like abilities that act on their own.
**[00:18] Atsushi**
It's okay.
**[00:19] Atsushi**
Demon Snow saved us once before, after all.
**[00:24] Atsushi**
*That said, she killed Kyouka-chan's parents.*
**[00:28] Kyouka**
If Demon Snow were human, I could sever
her third cervical nerve to stop her from reaching.
**[00:36] Atsushi**
*Kyouka-chan's knowledge scares me.*
**[02:12] Atsushi**
This is the wanted list the military
police sends us every month.
**[02:16] Atsushi**
And these are our regular bodyguard clients.
**[02:20] Kyouka**
It's fine. I memorized all of them.
**[02:22] Atsushi**
Really?
**[02:23] Atsushi**
It took me a month.
**[02:25] Lucy**
Welcome.
**[02:29] Lucy**
*I-I forgot...*
**[02:31] Lucy**
**She *works at this shop.*
**[02:36] Atsushi**
What's good on the menu today?
**[02:38] Lucy**
Dark-roasted muddy water!
**[02:40] Atsushi**
*She's Lucy, an ex-Guild member.*
**[02:43] Atsushi**
* She works here as a live-in*
* waitress now, for some reason.*
**[02:46] Lucy**
You.
**[02:47] Atsushi**
Yes?
**[02:48] Lucy**
Do you have any idea why I'm here?
**[02:51] Lucy**
To take revenge.
**[02:52] Lucy**
On you.
**[02:54] Lucy**
You'd better remember why.
**[02:57] Atsushi**
But you saved me on the Moby Dick before.
**[03:00] Kyouka**
Hot milk.
**[03:02] Kyouka**
With sugar.

***SIGN*** Herurisu!
**[03:11] Lucy**
If you don't remember why
I'm taking revenge on you,
**[03:14] Lucy**
I'll seriously strangle you to death.
**[03:21] Kyouka**
Don't worry.
**[03:23] Kyouka**
If she does something,
I'll cut her down first.
**[03:29] Atsushi**
*Did I do something wrong?*
**[03:35] Atsushi**
*I thought we understood each other.*
**[03:42] Lucy**
Speaking of which, I'd forgotten...
**[03:45] Lucy**
Some weirdo came and left this
request for the Detective Agency.
**[03:50] Lucy**
It's not for you.
**[03:52] Lucy**
It's for the little shrimp there.
**[03:55] Kyouka**
Me?
**[04:01] Atsushi**
The request is...
**[04:03] Atsushi**
to deliver a briefcase containing a large
sum of money to a specified company.
***SIGN*** Danger
No Swimming
**[04:07] Atsushi**
Apparently, the briefcase is
on board one of these boats.
**[04:14] Atsushi**
But which one?
**[04:16] Atsushi**
Did they omit something by mistake?
**[04:18] Atsushi**
It doesn't say anything about which boat.
**[04:21] Kyouka**
We'll have to split up and search.
***SIGN*** Danger
***SIGN*** No Swimming
**[04:24] Atsushi**
You're right.
**[04:34] Man**
Fool!
**[04:37] Man**
You're trespassing, you little brat!
**[04:40] Atsushi**
I'm sorry!
**[04:45] Atsushi**
This sucks.
**[04:47] Atsushi**
I'm going to get reported if
I keep searching like this.
**[04:50] Lucy**
In a bind, thievish kitty?
**[04:53] Lucy**
Ta-da.
**[04:55] Atsushi**
You pulled the page out?
**[04:57] Lucy**
Of course I did.
**[04:58] Lucy**
How would it be revenge if
I'd given you all of it?
**[05:03] Lucy**
What's with the face?
**[05:05] Lucy**
Don't tell me you still
don't know why I'm angry.
**[05:09] Atsushi**
N-No, of course I do.
**[05:11] Atsushi**
It's because, uhh...
**[05:14] Atsushi**
You don't like my bangs.
**[05:16] Lucy**
Are you mental?!
**[05:18] Lucy**
Listen. Don't you remember what I said when
I helped you escape from the Moby Dick?
**[05:24] (Flashback) Lucy**
Save me from this place someday.
**[05:28] (Flashback) Lucy**
I'll be waiting.
**[05:30] (Flashback) Atsushi**
All right.
**[05:31] Lucy**
Yet look what you've done!
**[05:32] Atsushi**
W-Wait!
**[05:34] Atsushi**
You were taken straight to the
ground from the Moby Dick.
**[05:38] Atsushi**
I couldn't have saved you.
**[05:39] Lucy**
Then couldn't you have at least
said something when we met again?
**[05:46] Lucy**
Want the page?
**[05:48] Lucy**
Swim for it, you thievish cat.
**[06:03] Lucy**
*An old mooring chain...*
***SIGN*** Danger
No Swimming
**[06:17] Lucy**
What's taking him so long?
**[06:22] Lucy**
Wait, you're joking, right?
**[06:35] Lucy**
Are you an idiot or something?
**[06:37] Lucy**
You're the gifted who defeated the Guild.
**[06:39] Lucy**
Could you please not drown
right by the shore like that?
**[06:42] Atsushi**
Where am I?
**[06:43] Lucy**
I transported you out of the
water and into Anne's room.
**[06:47] Lucy**
My ability doesn't work unless
I'm close to my target.
**[06:50] Lucy**
Now *I'm* a wet rat, too!
**[06:53] Atsushi**
Thanks.
**[06:55] Atsushi**
I owe you again.
**[07:00] Atsushi**
Sorry.
**[07:02] Atsushi**
I was planning to save you during
the Moby Dick infiltration.
**[07:08] Atsushi**
But I ended up being
chased down by Akutagawa,
**[07:11] Atsushi**
and there was only so much
time before it crashed.
**[07:14] Atsushi**
I tried my best to find you.
**[07:19] Lucy**
You looked for me?
**[07:21] Atsushi**
I was so relieved when
I realized you weren't there.
**[07:27] Lucy**
Saying it was for revenge
was just an excuse.
**[07:29] Lucy**
The real reason I started that job
**[07:33] Lucy**
was to apologize for not
waiting like I promised.
**[07:38] Lucy**
A-And...
**[07:45] Atsushi**
Oh, no.
**[07:46] Atsushi**
I can't finish work when
my clothes are so wet.
**[07:50] Atsushi**
I know.
**[07:53] Atsushi**
If you can transport just a
person's body from the water,
**[07:56] Atsushi**
could you transport just the
moisture from wet clothes?
**[07:59] Lucy**
Huh?
**[08:00] Atsushi**
What I mean is...
**[08:02] Atsushi**
First, you return the two of us to reality,
**[08:04] Atsushi**
and then re-transport just the two of us
and our clothes, without the moisture.
***SIGN*** Poof
***SIGN*** Poof
**[08:10] Atsushi**
That way, we can switch back
into our dry clothes instantly.
**[08:19] Lucy**
Don't blame me if it doesn't work out.
**[08:43] A**
Another all-nighter, Ango-senpai?
**[08:46] Ango**
What's the situation?
**[08:48] A**
A Special Operations Division document
transport vehicle was attacked.
**[08:51] A**
They stole our reports.
**[08:53] A**
One attacker.
**[08:55] A**
We're told they were dressed
like a postal worker.
**[08:57] Ango**
Attacking a Special Operations Division
armed transport vehicle alone...
**[09:01] Ango**
They must be quite skilled.
**[09:04] Ango**
Which report did they take?
**[09:06] A**
Document Number E-7581A.
**[09:10] Ango**
Why would they take that one?
**[09:12] A**
What's it about?
**[09:15] Ango**
Investigation records that
would reduce her punishment.
**[09:19] Ango**
It's a record of the ability Demon Snow, and her parents whom she killed.
**[09:24] A**
Ability aside, why the parents?
**[09:28] Ango**
The parents were on our side.
**[09:32] Ango**
She has her parents' talent.
**[09:38] Lucy**
That's the boat that was on the page.
**[09:41] Kyouka**
I don't trust you.
**[09:43] Lucy**
I don't want your trust.
**[09:46] Kyouka**
Whose trust do you want, then?
**[09:53] Lucy**
Here.
**[09:58] Atsushi**
It's the briefcase mentioned in the request.
**[10:03] Atsushi**
There's nothing inside.
**[10:05] Lucy**
I didn't steal it!
**[10:08] Kyouka**
There's something in the bottom.
***SIGN*** Investigation Report
***SIGN*** Employment Gift
**[10:18] Atsushi**
"Employment Gift"?
**[10:26] Atsushi**
* The report described the events*
* of the day Kyouka-chan's parents died.*
**[10:33] Atsushi**
Do you know what your parents did for work?
**[10:38] Kyouka**
I don't know.
***SIGN*** Three Years Ago
**[10:56] Mom**
What's the matter?
**[10:58] Dad**
Nothing.
**[10:59] Dad**
I'm just glad I didn't have to work too late.
**[11:02] Dad**
Dinner's delicious, and I get to
be with you and our daughter.
**[11:05] Dad**
This is the greatest...
**[11:10] ---**
moment of my life.
**[11:12] Atsushi**
* Kyouka-chan's father was*
* a former government spy.*
**[11:18] Atsushi**
* Her mother was gifted with*
* Demon Snow, a murderous ability.*
**[11:24] Atsushi**
* She and her husband were involved*
* in countless assassinations.*
**[11:41] (Flashback) Dad**
My body's moving on its own.
**[11:44] Dad**
Kill me!
**[11:52] (Flashback) Mom**
*It's an ability that uses blood
as a medium for mind control.*
**[11:58] (Flashback) Mom**
Demon Snow...
**[12:01] (Flashback) Mom**
Protect my daughter!
**[12:14] (Flashback) Mom**
Go, Kyouka.
**[12:19] (Flashback) Mom**
Your mother will always be by your side.
**[12:34] Atsushi**
* Her parents were struck down by a gifted*
* who had a score to settle with them.*
**[12:39] Atsushi**
* The government, unable to make*
* her parents' existence public,*
**[12:43] Atsushi**
* treated it as a case of her having*
* lost control of her ability.*
**[12:47] Kyouka**
But Demon Snow is *my* ability.
**[12:51] Kyouka**
I've heard that there's a way to
transfer abilities to family members.
**[12:56] Atsushi**
It seems your mother learned how to do that
**[12:59] Atsushi**
from a gifted who controlled black shadows.
**[13:03] Atsushi**
But because it was a sudden attack
and the transfer was partial,
**[13:08] Atsushi**
Demon Snow can only be controlled
using that cell phone.
**[13:14] Kyouka**
A few days before my parents were killed,
**[13:17] Kyouka**
Mother gave me this phone and
told me to never let go of it.
**[13:23] Atsushi**
* That's why she never let go of her cell phone,*
* even after she joined the Port Mafia.*
**[13:29] Kyouka**
What I saw that day...
**[13:36] Kyouka**
Demon Snow didn't kill them.
**[13:41] Atsushi**
Kyouka-chan, if there's anything I—
**[13:47] Kyouka**
That hurts. Jeez.
**[13:50] Lucy**
You're so dense.
**[13:52] Lucy**
She resented her ability
for killing her parents,
**[13:53] Lucy**
when in fact it was the
embodiment of her parents' love.
**[13:57] Lucy**
Give her some time to herself.
**[14:00] Kyouka**
Her parents' love...
**[14:02] Kyouka**
But who put that report in the briefcase?
**[14:09] B**
I heard the news.
**[14:12] B**
Apparently you used six month's
worth of operating budget
**[14:15] B**
to obtain information from the
Special Operations Division.
**[14:18] B**
How generous.
**[14:20] Kouyou**
I suppose.
**[14:26] Kouyou**
It's her new employment gift.
**[14:29] Kouyou**
It's money well spent.

Sorry, I'm filling in for Rampo-san.
**[14:58] Tanizaki**
Filling in?
**[14:59] Tanizaki**
What about Rampo-san?

Well...

Hey, Atsushi.

**[15:09] (Flashback) Ranpo**
Can you go do this for me?
**[15:12] (Flashback) Atsushi**
But the request is for you.
**[15:15] (Flashback) Ranpo**
I can't.
**[15:17] (Flashback) Ranpo**
My baked snacks are nice
and fresh right now.
**[15:21] Tanizaki**
Oh, well. That can't be helped.
**[15:24] Atsushi**
Yeah.
**[15:26] Tanizaki**
So...
**[15:27] Tanizaki**
The victim is a male in his forties.
**[15:30] Tanizaki**
He was struck by the truck
and died on impact.
**[15:33] Tanizaki**
His face was destroyed,
so we don't know who he is yet.
**[15:36] Tanizaki**
According to the driver,
he jumped out onto the road.
**[15:42] Atsushi**
It's a newspaper article.
**[15:45] Atsushi**
There might be more around here.
**[15:47] Tanizaki**
Super mystery solver!
**[15:49] Atsushi**
Huh?
**[15:52] Tanizaki**
No good.
**[15:53] Tanizaki**
I can't figure anything out.
**[15:56] Atsushi**
Speaking of solving mysteries,
before I left, Rampo-san said...
**[16:00] (Flashback) Ranpo**
This is your case now, but I'll
give you one piece of advice.
**[16:06] (Flashback) Ranpo**
If you get stumped, find a flower shop.
**[16:09] Tanizaki**
A flower shop?
**[16:10] Ranpo**
Yes.
**[16:11] Ranpo**
A flower shop.
**[16:12] A**
Tanizaki-san.
**[16:13] Tanizaki**
Coming.
**[16:18] Atsushi**
A flower shop, huh?
**[16:23] Tanizaki**
Atsushi-kun.
**[16:25] Tanizaki**
They've identified the victim
from his fingerprints.
**[16:28] Tanizaki**
This is him.
**[16:33] Tanizaki**
Atsushi-kun?
**[16:35] Atsushi**
Why?
**[16:36] Atsushi**
Why are you here?
**[16:38] Atsushi**
Why, Headmaster?!
**[16:51] Atsushi**
I can't believe it.
**[16:54] Atsushi**
The headmaster is dead.
**[16:58] Tanizaki**
Are you all right?
**[16:59] Tanizaki**
You can take a break if it's too painful.
**[17:01] Atsushi**
Painful?
**[17:03] Atsushi**
Why?
**[17:04] Atsushi**
I feel absolutely great.
**[17:06] Atsushi**
That headmaster is dead!
**[17:08] Atsushi**
The reason behind the nightmares
that haunt me every night is gone!
**[17:13] Tanizaki**
Aren't you curious to know why
your headmaster was in town?
**[17:18] Atsushi**
I don't even want to know.
**[17:21] Atsushi**
Back then, I lived every
day of my life abandoned.
**[17:27] Atsushi**
Nobody expected anything of me.
**[17:29] Atsushi**
I never even knew who I was.
**[17:35] (Flashback) Headmaster**
Do you hate me?
**[17:43] (Flashback) Headmaster**
Do you know why you've been locked up?
**[17:47] (Flashback) Atsushi**
Because you hate me.
**[17:54] Atsushi**
*No.*
**[17:56] Atsushi**
* It's because I became a*
* tiger and wreaked havoc.*
**[18:00] (Flashback) Headmaster**
Atsushi, resent me.
**[18:03] (Flashback) Headmaster**
One day, you'll leave for the outside world.
**[18:06] (Flashback) Headmaster**
When you do, Atsushi, hate me.
**[18:11] (Flashback) Headmaster**
Never hate yourself.
**[18:19] Tanizaki**
Atsushi-kun, the rest of the
article the victim had was
**[18:23] Tanizaki**
on the other side of the road.
***SIGN*** Find!
***SIGN*** Giant Flying Object Over Yokohama
***SIGN*** Crashes Into Port!
**[18:27] Tanizaki**
It was you the headmaster was looking for.
**[18:31] Tanizaki**
He came to Yokohama after
he saw this article.
**[18:34] Tanizaki**
It's a gossip article and photos
of the battle with the Guild
**[18:37] Tanizaki**
the Special Operations Division
failed to cover up.
**[18:40] Tanizaki**
I got more information out
of the orphanage staff, too.
**[18:43] Tanizaki**
The headmaster learned about
your work from this article.
**[18:48] Tanizaki**
He probably wanted to wish you―
**[18:50] Atsushi**
Lies!
**[18:51] Atsushi**
That's not possible!
**[18:52] Atsushi**
Absolutely not!
**[18:54] Atsushi**
He would never...
**[18:58] Tanizaki**
Atsushi-kun...
**[19:03] Tanizaki**
Are you happy with this, Dazai-san?
**[19:18] Dazai**
Does it hurt to see kids with their parents?
**[19:24] Atsushi**
Dazai-san, do you remember
when you first met me?
**[19:30] Dazai**
Sure.
**[19:31] Dazai**
That was when we were looking for the tiger.
**[19:33] Atsushi**
Why do you think the headmaster
didn't tell anyonee that I was the tiger?
**[19:39] Dazai**
At the very least,
it's certain that maintaining
**[19:42] Dazai**
the secret would have taken serious effort.
**[19:45] Dazai**
Especially to keep you from realizing, too.
**[19:50] Atsushi**
Find a flower shop.
**[19:53] Atsushi**
Rampo-san was right.
**[19:56] Atsushi**
He had an appointment at a flower shop.
**[19:59] Atsushi**
Headmaster was going to buy a bouquet
of flowers before he met me.
**[20:04] Atsushi**
And...
**[20:24] Atsushi**
Still, I can't forgive him.
**[20:28] Atsushi**
I really...
**[20:30] Atsushi**
I really suffered.
**[20:32] Atsushi**
There's nothing he could
do to make me forgive him.
**[20:37] Dazai**
You don't need to forgive him.
**[20:40] Dazai**
No matter what he may have believed,
**[20:43] Dazai**
what he did to you was unforgivable.
Absolute barbarism.
**[20:48] Dazai**
You were truly in hell,
**[20:51] Dazai**
but that hell raised you properly.
**[20:59] (Flashback) Atsushi**
If I could save them...
**[21:00] (Flashback) Atsushi**
the passengers here...
**[21:02] (Flashback) Atsushi**
If I could get them back safe
and sound to their homes...
**[21:06] (Flashback) Atsushi**
Wouldn't that mean...
**[21:13] (Flashback) Atsushi**
Wouldn't that mean it's okay for me to live?
**[21:17] Dazai**
As someone who understands suffering,
**[21:20] Dazai**
you resisted violence and evil
**[21:23] Dazai**
and saved many people who were
in positions of weakness.
**[21:31] Atsushi**
Dazai-san...
**[21:33] Atsushi**
This feeling that's overflowing inside me...
**[21:39] Atsushi**
This feeling...
**[21:41] Atsushi**
What is this?
**[21:43] Dazai**
There's no one who can fully grasp
the deepest feelings of another person.
**[21:49] Dazai**
You can only get the sense that you have.
**[21:55] Dazai**
I can only tell you one general thing:
**[22:02] Dazai**
When someone's father dies, they tend to cry.
