**[00:04] Asunaro**
Oh, how unsightly.
**[00:09] Asunaro**
What a pity. What a pity.
**[00:14] Asunaro**
Wait for me, Nagumo-sensei.
**[00:17] Asunaro**
The time has come to repay my debt to you.

**[01:59] Nagumo**
I have no money.
**[02:03] Mashiro**
Want me to lend you some?
**[02:04] Nagumo**
Get real. How much could
a kid like you even have?
**[02:09] Mashiro**
Oh, I'd say around 500 yen, easy.
**[02:12] Nagumo**
I feel pathetic for getting my hopes up,
even for just an instant.
**[02:16] Asunaro**
Ah, I see.
**[02:18] Asunaro**
So this is Nagumo-sensei's agency.
**[02:20] Nagumo**
Whoa! Who are you?!
**[02:22] Asunaro**
Oh, do forgive me.
**[02:25] Asunaro**
You see, I have my reasons for coming to—
**[02:27] Mashiro**
Damn thief!
**[02:29] Asunaro**
Wh-Wh-Wh-What's *your* problem?
I am no thief!
**[02:33] Mashiro**
Liar! How'd you get in here
when the door was locked?!
**[02:37] Asunaro**
It was a piece of cake
with my lock picking skills.
**[02:40] Mashiro**
You are *literally* a proper thief!
**[02:42] Mashiro**
Sit your ass down,
you four-eyed thieving bastard!
**[02:44] Asunaro**
Just listen to me, you barbarian!
**[02:46] Nagumo**
Ow, ow, ow. That shocked me
so much, my heart hurts.
***SIGN*** Nagumo Detective Agency
**[02:51] Asunaro**
I do apologize for startling you.
**[02:54] Asunaro**
I am Asunaro Yuu, high school detective.

**[02:57] Asunaro**
If a mystery resembles
a puzzle or contradiction,
**[03:00] Asunaro**
I am, by my very nature,
compelled to investigate.
**[03:03] Mashiro**
Don't pick people's locks
and treat it like a puzzle!
**[03:06] Nagumo**
Oh, you're the great detective Asunaro?
I see you on TV a lot.
**[03:11] Nagumo**
You're the top young detective
in the spotlight right now.
**[03:15] Asunaro**
Oh, no, no! I am nowhere near your level.
**[03:19] Nagumo**
So what brings you here?
**[03:22] Nagumo**
Wait, what's wrong?
**[03:25] Asunaro**
*How very odd.*
**[03:26] Asunaro**
* Ten minutes have passed since I entered,*
* and I have not even been served coffee.*
**[03:31] Asunaro**
*What could it mean?*
**[03:33] Nagumo**
Oh, where are our manners?
**[03:35] Mashiro**
There ya go.
**[03:36] Asunaro**
Thank—
**[03:38] Asunaro**
*How very odd.*
**[03:40] Asunaro**
* Most hosts would serve it with milk and sugar*
* on the side if I did not request it black.*
**[03:45] Asunaro**
*What could it mean?*
**[03:46] Nagumo**
Okay, I can tell this guy's
gonna be a real pain!
**[03:51] Asunaro**
I have come today for
one reason, and one alone.
**[03:54] Asunaro**
Nagumo-sensei.
**[03:56] Asunaro**
Please hire me as your assistant.
**[04:00] Nagumo**
Huh?
**[04:01] Mashiro**
What?!
**[04:02] Mashiro**
He already *has* an assistant!
**[04:04] Nagumo**
You're already a
full-fledged detective, anyway.
**[04:07] Nagumo**
Why would you want to work for me now?
**[04:09] Asunaro**
Because it was you who
made me what I am today.
**[04:15] Asunaro**
When I was in grade school,
**[04:16] Asunaro**
I read an old article about you,
and could not tear my eyes away.

**[04:20] Asunaro**
A simple high school student,
**[04:22] Asunaro**
edging out all the adults with
his intellect alone to stand at the top.
**[04:27] Asunaro**
When I saw you stealing
all the media attention,
**[04:30] Asunaro**
I dove into this business and
dedicated myself to being just like you!
**[04:35] Asunaro**
And now that I have grown stronger...
Yes, it is time!
**[04:38] Asunaro**
I, Asunaro, am determined
to repay this debt to you,
**[04:41] Asunaro**
and I have come here
hoping to be of use to you.
**[04:45] Nagumo**
Yeah, uh, I appreciate the sentiment,
but I really don't have the money to hire—
**[04:50] Asunaro**
I will, of course, work for free.
**[04:52] Asunaro**
After all, my work is going so well
that I have grown stinking rich.
**[04:56] Nagumo**
Yeah, I bet.
**[04:58] Asunaro**
In fact, I intend to pay you a tuition fee.
**[05:01] Nagumo**
What?! For real?
**[05:03] Nagumo**
Mind explaining in a bit more detail?
**[05:05] Mashiro**
Wait a minute!
**[05:07] Mashiro**
Why aren't you including *me*
in this discussion?
**[05:10] Mashiro**
Shouldn't your first assistant, Mashiro-chan,
be the first one you consult?
**[05:18] Asunaro**
*How very odd.*
**[05:20] Asunaro**
*A gorilla wearing clothes and speaking.*
**[05:22] Mashiro**
This guy is *seriously* pissing me off!
**[05:24] Mashiro**
You must have no common sense at all,
barging in here out of the blue!
**[05:28] Nagumo**
Uh, *you* showed up unannounced, too.
**[05:30] Mashiro**
Wanting to be like the old dude
isn't enough to be his assistant.
**[05:33] Asunaro**
You think my admiration for him
is all I'm bringing to this?
**[05:36] Asunaro**
I'm quite certain I can be
more useful to Sensei than you.
**[05:40] Mashiro**
*Excuse* me?
**[05:42] Mashiro**
Okay! You against me,
Mr. Round Glasses! Let's go!
**[05:44] Asunaro**
But of course, I gladly accept.
**[05:46] Asunaro**
Oh, but first, another coffee, please.
**[05:49] Mashiro**
Comin' right up.
**[05:53] Maki**
I will be serving as your MC.
***SIGN*** Great Detective
Asunaro's Assistant
***SIGN*** Kazamaki Hana
**[05:55] Maki**
I'm his assistant, Kazamaki.
**[05:58] Maki**
You two will compete in three areas
essential to detective work:
**[06:01] Maki**
intellect, deduction skills, and stamina.
**[06:05] Maki**
The first to notch up two wins will become
Mr. Nagumo's official assistant.
**[06:09] Maki**
Is that acceptable, Master?
**[06:11] Asunaro**
Of course, Maki-chan. Not a problem.
**[06:14] Mashiro**
Wait, wait, wait! It seems unfair
that your assistant gets to set this up!
**[06:18] Maki**
Not to worry.
**[06:20] Maki**
I genuinely despise Master.
**[06:22] Asunaro**
Aw, you're so hard on me, Maki-chan.
**[06:25] Maki**
I expect overtime pay for this.
**[06:28] Asunaro**
She talks big, but at the end of the day,
she's head over heels for me.
**[06:32] Asunaro**
Aren't you, Maki-chan?
**[06:34] Mashiro**
Are you?
**[06:36] Asunaro**
Please stop holding your nose.
**[06:40] Maki**
The first round will be
a contest of intellect.
***SIGN*** Guest
**[06:45] Maki**
You will both be given the same wire puzzle.
**[06:48] Maki**
The one who gets it apart first
will score the first win.
**[06:52] Maki**
Are you ready?
**[06:54] Maki**
Then...
**[06:56] Maki**
Start.
**[07:05] Maki**
Oh, my. Great Detective Asunaro is so fast.
**[07:11] Asunaro**
Behold! I will soon have it apart!
**[07:14] Asunaro**
Couldn't you have entertained me a bit—
**[07:20] Asunaro**
*Impossible.*
**[07:22] Asunaro**
*She solved it already?*
**[07:27] Asunaro**
She cut the wire!
**[07:29] Maki**
Mashiro-san has one win.
**[07:30] Mashiro**
Yeah, baby!
**[07:31] Asunaro**
What?! You're *allowing* that?!
**[07:33] Maki**
Well, I only said the one who got it
apart first would be the winner.
**[07:36] Asunaro**
You're a cheater.
**[07:38] Asunaro**
I refuse to accept this atrocity.

"We refuse to believe that which

**[07:47] Asunaro**
She's infuriating!
**[07:50] Maki**
The next contest will be deduction skills.
**[07:53] Maki**
This is a coded phrase I came up with.
**[07:56] Maki**
The first one to figure out
what's written here is the winner.
**[08:00] Maki**
Ready, and...
**[08:02] Maki**
Start.
**[08:04] Nagumo**
Uh, do we really need to be outside for this?
**[08:08] Mashiro INT**
*What is it?*
**[08:10] Mashiro INT**
* I can see what looks like*
* an "E" here and there.*
**[08:12] Mashiro INT**
*Is it English?*
**[08:14] Mashiro INT**
* I can't get enough information*
* from the other characters, though.*
**[08:17] Mashiro INT**
*Are they actually drawings?*
**[08:21] Asunaro**
Maki-chan, this is too easy.
**[08:23] Mashiro**
Say what?
**[08:25] Asunaro**
The answer is pi.
**[08:27] Asunaro**
Those are the unlit parts
on a seven-segment display, yes?
**[08:31] Maki**
Tsk. That's correct.
**[08:33] Asunaro**
You won't even look at the winner?!
**[08:35] Mashiro**
Hey! That was way too fast!
**[08:38] Mashiro**
I bet you knew the answer in advance.

**[08:44] Asunaro**

**[08:49] Mashiro**
You little...
**[08:50] Asunaro**
Also, do you even know what pi is?
**[08:53] Mashiro**
Of course I do!
Are you tryna pick a fight?!
**[08:56] Maki**
Our final contest is one of stamina.
**[08:59] Mashiro**
What's that?
**[09:00] Maki**
Let's call it a "stamp rally race," shall we?
**[09:04] Maki**
You'll collect stamps I've placed
in three locations around the park.
**[09:07] Maki**
The first to make it back here is the winner.
**[09:10] Asunaro**
I'll help you search for your next job.
**[09:13] Mashiro**
Keep talkin', buddy.
**[09:15] Maki**
Now, on your marks.
**[09:18] Maki**
Ready...
**[09:19] Maki**
Start.
**[09:22] Maki**
If you're not going to
take this seriously, I'm leaving.
**[09:25] Asunaro**
Bold of you to slam into me like
a sumo wrestler, you cowardly muscle-girl.
**[09:29] Mashiro**
I should be calling *you* the coward,
you four-eyed shitbag!
**[09:34] Maki**
I'm sorry you have to go along
with this nonsense.
**[09:37] Nagumo**
Oh, it's fine.
**[09:39] Maki**
Master—that is, Asunaro—
admires you deeply.
**[09:44] Maki**
You're all he ever talks about.
**[09:47] Nagumo**
He's got some weird taste, then.
**[09:50] Maki**
He wants you to reclaim your former shine.
**[09:56] Maki**
His wish for you to return to
center stage has brought him this far.
***SIGN*** First Stamp
**[10:01] Nagumo**
Do I look that much duller now?
**[10:04] Maki**
Oh! I'm sorry! That's not what I meant!
**[10:07] Nagumo**
Nah, I was just joking.
**[10:10] Nagumo**
Asunaro-kun reminds me of myself
when I was younger.
**[10:14] Maki**
Huh?
**[10:15] Nagumo**
I bet he's enjoying
the hell out of this stage,
**[10:18] Nagumo**
where his skills respond and grow so quickly.
**[10:21] Nagumo**
He's in no doubt that
he can keep it up forever.
***SIGN*** Third Stamp
**[10:24] Nagumo**
The only way he differs from
the younger me is he has support.
**[10:30] Nagumo**
I had no one, much less a partner who'd give
me a push or rein me in when I needed it.
**[10:37] Nagumo**
So I envy him, really.
**[10:39] Nagumo**
A partner who's your own age
is probably easier to talk to.
**[10:44] Maki**
His own age?
**[10:48] Maki**
I guess I'm still worth
keeping around for a while.
**[10:50] Nagumo**
Hm? You say something?
**[10:53] Maki**
No, nothing.
**[10:55] Maki**
So is that girl your support now?
**[10:58] Nagumo**
Hm, I'm not sure.
**[11:02] Maki**
I think you make quite a good pair.
**[11:04] Nagumo**
Yeah?
**[11:06] Maki**
Of course, you needn't worry
about Asunaro's oath.
**[11:09] Maki**
Even if she loses,
please don't fire Mashiro-chan.
**[11:13] Nagumo**
Oh, it's all good.
**[11:19] Nagumo**
No one can beat Mashiro
in a contest of stamina.
**[11:26] Maki**
It pains me to say anything
that constitutes praise for Asunaro...
**[11:30] Maki**
but I don't think she has a chance.
**[11:34] Asunaro**
What's the matter?
You're awfully short of breath!
**[11:37] Asunaro**
I've trained to anticipate any outcome,
no matter the task, since I was a child.
**[11:42] Asunaro**
I am fundamentally different from a civilian
like you who merely has athletic prowess.
**[11:48] Mashiro INT**
*Damn it. My body feels so heavy.*
**[11:52] Asunaro**
Maki-chan!
**[11:54] Mashiro INT**
* If I lose, I won't be able*
* to stay with the old dude.*
**[11:58] Mashiro INT**
*If I lose... If I lose...*
**[12:01] Mashiro INT**
*If I lose...*
***SIGN*** My Talents

Removing your top layer to reduce weight?
I appreciate your refusal to give up.
**[12:18] Asunaro**
Go on, throw it all away.
It will do nothing to close the gap.
**[12:23] Asunaro**
No matter...
**[12:24] Asunaro**
how much you toss...
**[12:27] Asunaro**
Wait, how much are you even carrying?!
**[12:30] Maki**
Wh-What on earth is that?
**[12:32] Nagumo**
Her storage technique.
**[12:35] Mashiro INT**
* Okay! I've purged*
* all the stuff I was carrying.*
**[12:37] Mashiro INT**
*Now I just need to catch up.*
**[12:39] Mashiro INT**
*I can do this. Just another step.*
**[12:41] Mashiro INT**
*After all...*
**[12:45] Mashiro**
I've been through plenty
of tough training myself!
**[12:51] (Flashback) Coach**
Okay, that's enough.
**[12:53] (Flashback) Coach**
Well done for enduring
all of this tough training.
**[12:57] (Flashback) Coach**
You have completed every lesson.
There is nothing more I can teach you.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Mashiro**
Coach... Can I be...
**[13:05] (Flashback) Mashiro**
a full-fledged... detective now?
**[13:09] (Flashback) Coach**
Of course.
**[13:11] (Flashback) Coach**
Yes. A detective.

I have been defeated today,

but I will, without a doubt,
take your position next time.
**[13:29] Asunaro**
I suppose I have found a rival
where I least expected to.
**[13:33] Asunaro**
I will not lose next time.
**[13:35] Mashiro**
Oh, okay.
**[13:37] Asunaro**
*How very odd.*
**[13:39] Asunaro**
* At a time like this,*
* shouldn't the other party say*
**[13:41] Asunaro**
*something like, "You did well yourself,"*
**[13:44] Asunaro**
* giving the sense that*
* a new rivalry has been born?*
**[13:47] Asunaro**
*What could it mean?*
**[13:48] Mashiro**
You're annoying as hell!
Just go away already!
**[13:51] Asunaro**
No need to tell me. I'm leaving.
**[13:53] Asunaro**
Maki-chan, time to go! Maki-chan!
**[13:56] Nagumo**
Oh, she already left.
**[13:59] Nagumo**
She said she was expecting a delivery.
**[14:01] Asunaro**
Maki-chan!
**[14:02] Asunaro**
Maki-chan! You're taking
your mischief a bit too far!
**[14:07] Nagumo**
I didn't even do anything, and I'm exhausted.
**[14:11] Mashiro**
Are you okay with that, old dude?
**[14:15] Mashiro**
I mean, if you made him your assistant,
you'd get money for it.
**[14:20] Mashiro**
Wouldn't he be a better assistant than m—
**[14:23] Mashiro**
Hey! You're gonna shrink me!
**[14:23] Nagumo**
What're you acting like
a considerate adult for?
**[14:27] Nagumo**
So long as you bring in more money
than he does, there's no problem.
**[14:32] Nagumo**
You can do that, right?
**[14:40] Mashiro**
Yeah!
**[14:48] Nagumo**
*I'm broke.*
**[14:50] Mashiro**
I told you, I can lend you some.
**[14:53] Asunaro**
You seem to be in a bind.
**[14:55] Mashiro**
Gah! You again?!
**[14:57] Asunaro**
I didn't pick the lock today.
**[14:59] Mashiro**
Why are *you* here? You're not after
a revenge match *already*, are you?
**[15:02] Asunaro**
Why am I here?
**[15:06] Asunaro**
Well, why else?
**[15:08] Asunaro**
I'm here to ask Sensei to do a job for—
**[15:10] Maki**
I'm sorry about all the fuss
last time, Nagumo-sensei.
**[15:13] Maki**
Please enjoy these
with Mashiro-san, if you'd like.
**[15:17] Mashiro**
Ooh, yokan.
**[15:18] Nagumo**
You didn't have to go out of your way.
**[15:20] Maki**
Oh, no such thing.
**[15:21] Asunaro**
Excuse me, Maki-chan.
You seem to have spoken over me.
**[15:24] Asunaro**
Oh, by the way, I chose that yokan myself.
**[15:27] Asunaro**
As I was saying, I'm here to ask
Nagumo-sensei to do a job for me!
**[15:28] Mashiro**
I'm gonna cut this yokan.
Have a seat, Maki-chan.
**[15:30] Maki**
Oh, thank you.
**[15:32] Mashiro**
This is some fatty yokan!
**[15:34] Nagumo**
Have you never heard of chestnut yokan?
**[15:37] Asunaro**
*Wait. Could it be? Am I actually dead?*
**[15:41] Mashiro**
Yeah, sorry. I took the
teasing a little too far.

**[15:55] Asunaro**
The thing is...
**[15:56] Asunaro**
I am being hounded by a stalker.
**[15:59] Nagumo/Mashiro**
A stalker? You?
**[16:01] Asunaro**
Yes.
**[16:02] Asunaro**
Recently, whenever I'm alone, I get this
indescribable sensation of eyes fixed on me.
**[16:07] Asunaro**
I try to pursue the person, but they're too
fast, so I have been unable to catch them.
**[16:12] Maki**
Master is... technically... somehow...
oddly popular for some reason,
**[16:16] Maki**

I'll accept the job.

After all...

I could use a little stimulation.

Wait, what's the matter?!

Sounds like you get enough stimulation.

Come on. This isn't a game.
**[16:50] Maki**
Oh, Master has stopped.
**[16:53] Nagumo**
He keeps staring at that guy in the glasses.
**[16:55] Mashiro**
You think he's the stalker?
**[16:57] Nagumo**
What? He solved the case himself?
**[17:00] Asunaro**
*How very odd.*
**[17:02] Asunaro**
* That man doesn't look like he exercises,*
* but he's wearing earbuds meant for jogging.*
**[17:08] Asunaro**
*What could it mean?*
**[17:09] Nagumo**
Whoa, that's a rude first impression.
**[17:12] Maki**
It is Master's belief that he should
be asking questions at all times.
**[17:16] Mashiro**
Oh, he stopped again.
**[17:18] Nagumo**
What's up this time?
**[17:21] Asunaro**
*How very odd.*
**[17:22] Asunaro**
* That woman has her car*
* filled with cat knick-knacks,*
**[17:27] Asunaro**
*but her husband has the face of a dog.*
**[17:29] Asunaro**
Is he gonna be doing this all day?
**[17:31] Mashiro**
I'd never want to live with him.
**[17:34] Nagumo**
Huh? Some kinda group is coming this way.
**[17:36] Mashiro**
Whoa, a whole flock of girls.
**[17:39] Maki**
That is also a daily occurrence.
**[17:42] Mashiro**
Uh, they're kinda engulfing him...
**[17:45] Maki**
That is also a daily occurrence.
**[17:47] Mashiro**
Oh, he's emerging.
**[17:50] Mashiro**
Wait, all his clothes got ripped off!
**[17:53] Nagumo**
Are those girls muggers or what?
**[17:55] Maki**
That is also a daily occurrence.
**[17:57] Nagumo/Mashiro**
For real?!
**[17:59] Nagumo**
Shouldn't we get him some clothes?
**[18:02] Maki**
Not to worry.
**[18:05] Mashiro**
Oh, a different set of fans.
**[18:09] Nagumo**
What was that, a pit stop?
**[18:11] Maki**
Most of Master's clothes
are gifts he receives from fans.
**[18:15] Mashiro**
Old dude, is there
any point in tailing this guy?
**[18:19] Nagumo**
You haven't noticed, Mashiro?
**[18:21] Mashiro**
Huh?
**[18:22] Nagumo**
Someone shady has been
following him this whole time.
**[18:26] Nagumo**
Two o'clock.
**[18:30] Mashiro**
Whoa, you're right! Who *is* that?
**[18:32] Nagumo**
No, more to the right.
**[18:33] Nagumo**
Although, yeah, that guy
looks pretty wild, too.
**[18:37] Mashiro**
That one, huh? You're right. Looks shady.
**[18:40] Nagumo**
Asunaro-kun, casually relocate
to the place I'm about to direct you to.
**[18:44] Asunaro**
*Understood.*
**[18:58] Asunaro**
Oh, you have only just noticed?
**[19:01] Asunaro**
You are quite the fool.
**[19:02] Asunaro**
You are already trapped.
**[19:05] Asunaro**
Now, why don't you tell me your reason?
**[19:09] Asunaro**
Why have you been stalking me?
**[19:13] Shady Guy**
S-Stalking? I'm not!
**[19:16] Asunaro**
Hmph. That's what they all say.
**[19:18] Asunaro**
The worst stalkers don't
even realize they're doing it.
**[19:21] Shady Guy**
I told you, I'm not!
**[19:24] Asunaro**
Did I not just tell you
that you were trapped?
**[19:27] Asunaro**
Do it, Sensei!
**[19:31] Nagumo**
Would you say you're tougher than a bear?
**[19:39] Nagumo**
It was a long damn time ago,
**[19:42] Nagumo**
but I once had a request to get rid of a bear
that was wrecking someone's field.
**[19:49] Nagumo**
Hey, I'm not done talki—
**[19:51] Nagumo**
Oh, that's bad, right?
That joint shouldn't bend that way.
**[19:55] Asunaro**
Sensei!
**[19:56] Nagumo**
M-Mashiro! Don't let him get past you!
**[19:59] Mashiro**
Understood.
**[20:00] Mashiro**
Go on. Choose left or right.
**[20:03] Mashiro**
I'll stop you either way.
**[20:05] Shady Guy**
Oh, hey, it's Murobuchi, the hammer thrower.
**[20:07] Mashiro**
What?! Murobuchi?!
**[20:09] Mashiro**
M-M-Murobuchi, um...
**[20:12] Mashiro**
I've always been a fan.
**[20:13] Mashiro**
Would you please arm-wrestle with me?
**[20:14] Nagumo**
Oh, come on! Are you really that gullible?
**[20:17] Nagumo INT**
*Wait, how does he know what Mashiro's into?*
**[20:21] Nagumo**
That's not important right now.
**[20:22] Nagumo**
Maki-san, it's up to you!
**[20:24] Nagumo**
You've gotta stop him!
**[20:25] Maki**
Huh? What?
**[20:31] Nagumo**
Didn't see that coming.
**[20:34] Nagumo**
You really saved the day.
**[20:36] Nagumo**
So that's why you dress the way you do, huh?
**[20:38] Maki**
Huh? No, really, that's not...
**[20:41] Nagumo**
Well, in any case, we finally got him.
**[20:44] Asunaro**
Now, why don't we take a look at his face?
**[20:48] Nagumo**
What? Nezu?
**[20:50] Mashiro**
Why is it you?
**[20:51] Nezu**
Y-You've got it all wrong!
I'm not a stalker!
**[20:54] Mashiro**
Why'd you run, then?
**[20:56] Nezu**
Well, you guys looked so serious,
and it was kinda scary, so...
**[21:00] Nezu**
But forget that! *He's* the stalker! Right there!
**[21:03] Asunaro**
Wh-What nonsense is this?
**[21:05] Asunaro**
Who is it you think I'm stalking?
**[21:08] Nezu**
Big Bro Nagumo, obviously!
**[21:10] Nezu**
He's been hanging around the agency
staring at it for about a month now.
**[21:13] Nezu**
Whenever Big Bro steps out, he follows him.
**[21:15] Nezu**
He's clearly a stalker!
**[21:18] Maki**
Master... What is the meaning of this?
**[21:22] Asunaro**
Wait, wait, wait! Maki-chan, it's a mistake!
**[21:24] Maki**
Where is the mistake?
**[21:27] Asunaro**
I was only watching for the right moment
to introduce myself to Sensei.
**[21:33] Asunaro**
I also thought, for future reference,
**[21:36] Asunaro**
I should find out his lifestyle patterns
and interests and such.
**[21:40] Asunaro**
Who could call such consideration "stalking"?
**[21:43] Nagumo/Mashiro/Maki INT**
*I sure could.*
**[21:45] Maki**
Master...
**[21:48] Asunaro**
No, Maki-chan! This isn't...
**[21:51] Maki**
I will hear your excuses later.
**[21:55] Asunaro**
Hup.
**[21:57] Mashiro**
Nezu-kun! Get the stalker!
**[21:59] Nezu**
Got it!
**[22:01] Nagumo**
They say the worst stalkers
don't even realize they're doing it.
**[22:06] Nagumo**
I guess they're right.
