    Huh?!
[00:11] Mashiro
    Excuse me? I worked hard to make that!
    Do you have to sound so unimpressed?
[00:18] Nagumo
    Look, Mashiro.
    To me, the thing about cooking is...
[00:22] Nagumo
    As long as it's salty and
    goes good with rice, I'll eat it.
[00:27] Mashiro
    My efforts are wasted on you.
[00:29] Mashiro
    I guess my cooking is too grown-up
     for a child's tastes.
[00:32] Nagumo
    Hey!
[00:33] Nagumo
    I have a very discerning palate, okay?
[00:35] Mashiro
    Liar. I bet you can't even
    tell booze from diesel fuel.
[00:39] Nagumo
    That's going too far.
[00:41] Nagumo
    Even I have a favorite bar
    I go to all the time.
[00:44] Mashiro
    Yeah? So take me there, then.
[00:46] Nagumo
    Sure, anytime.
[00:49] Nagumo
    Just be ready, Mashiro.
[00:51] Nagumo
    You're gonna see me at that bar and learn...
[00:55] Nagumo
    the charm of adulthood.

    That's all you've said this whole time!
[06:15] Nagumo
    By the way, barkeep, you said you
    had something to talk to me about?
[06:18] Barkeep
    Yes.
[06:20] Barkeep
    You see, for the past six months,
    graffiti has been appearing on my bar.
[06:25] Nagumo
    Graffiti?
[06:26] Barkeep
    I clean it up, but it just comes back.
     It's a game of cat and mouse.
[06:29] Barkeep
    I don't know what to do.
[06:32] Nagumo
    Barkeep.
[06:34] Nagumo
    Are you asking me to do a job for you?
SIGN    Is that a job request?
[06:37] Barkeep
    Yes. I will pay you, of course.
[06:37] Barkeep
    Yes. I will pay you.
[06:41] Nagumo
    Sorry, barkeep.
    I don't accept jobs on my days off.
[06:46] Mashiro
    Old dude, he's really troubled by this.
[06:49] Nagumo
    So I won't treat it as a job.
[06:52] Nagumo
    I'll treat it as a favor for a friend.
[06:56] Nagumo
    And of course, I don't need to be paid
    to do an old friend a favor.
[07:00] Barkeep
    In that case, you needn't worry
    about your tab today.

[07:04] Mashiro INT
    So this is why you never have any money.
[07:07] Mashiro
    But anyone could be making those scribbles.
[07:11] Mashiro
    It's going to be tough
    to figure out who's doing it.
[07:13] Nagumo
    Nope. I already know.
[07:15] Mashiro
    What? Already?
[07:17] Nagumo
    There should be some graffiti on the door.
[07:19] Nagumo
    Go take a look, Pure White.
[07:21] Mashiro
    Don't call me that!
[07:26] Mashiro
    There is! When did that happen?
[07:28] Veronica
    I'll go look around outside.
[07:30] Veronica
    The offender may still be somewhere nearby.
[07:33] Nagumo
    There's no need.
[07:35] Veronica
    Why not?
[07:36] Nagumo
    Because, Veronica, you're the one
    who made that scribble.
[07:42] Veronica
    I don't know where you've been all this time,
    but I think you left your sense of humor there.
[07:47] Nagumo
    I smelled alcohol on you earlier,
[07:50] Nagumo
    but it definitely wasn't the boozy kind.
[07:54] Nagumo
    It was the smell of spray paint.
[07:57] Veronica
    The smell stuck to me when I opened the door.
[08:00] Nagumo
    Then, you would've mentioned
     the scribble when you came in.
[08:05] Nagumo
    And assuming your
    fashion sense hasn't changed,
[08:09] Nagumo
    that mark on the bottom of your skirt...
[08:11] Nagumo
    That's dried paint, isn't it?
[08:16] Nagumo
    Tell me, Veronica.
[08:17] Nagumo
    Why would you do this?
[08:20] Veronica
    You want me to say it out loud?
[08:23] Barkeep
    Could it be...
[08:25] Barkeep
    you were waiting for me
    to ask Naddy-san to investigate?
[08:31] Barkeep
    Because he hasn't been
    coming here as often recently.
[08:34] Barkeep
    You thought that if you vandalized
    the bar, you'd see him again.
[08:40] Veronica
    Well done, great detectives.
[08:45] Nagumo
    Where are you going?
[08:46] Veronica
    Don't know.
    But I can't stay here any longer.
[08:49] Veronica
    Sorry for soiling your bar, barkeep.
[08:52] Barkeep
    Wait a moment.
[08:55] Barkeep
    You haven't ordered a drink yet.

    That's just how bars are.
[09:22] Mashiro
    Uh, I don't think so.
[09:25] Mashiro

    They offered one million yen,
    with an up-front payment of 200k.
[10:02] Nagumo INT
    However, the sender and details

    with detectives.
[11:50] X
    But you don't need to worry. I won't keep
    you here until you die or anything.
[11:55] Mashiro
    So let us out right now, then.
[11:57] X
    I want to defeat you in a game.
[12:00] X
    I want to see you lose and
    crawl around on the ground in disgrace.
[12:05] Nagumo
    That's one hell of a personality
    you've got there, Mr. Nail Toothbrusher.
[12:09] X
    Seriously, don't call me that.
    You're being even more casual about it now.
[12:14] Asunaro
    So? What kind of game is it?
[12:16] X
    Simple. You will compete
    against me in a quiz.
[12:20] X
    If you can answer even one of
    my five questions correctly, you win.
[12:25] X
    But for each one you answer incorrectly,
    I will show an embarrassing photo of you.
[12:30] X
    If you get all five wrong, I'll spread very
    compromising photos all over the Internet.
[12:34] Maki
    This is ridiculous. Do you really think
    we'll play along with such a childish game?
[12:39] X
    I'll start by giving you a little sample.

    Ooh! It's Maki-chan in her HS days!
[12:45] Maki
    I accept! I accept your challenge, okay?
[12:48] Maki
    Just delete that right now!
[12:50] X
    Then, in response to your fervent
    demands, here's question one.
[12:54] X
    Here we have three people,
    whom we shall call A, B, and C.

    That's simple. The answer is—
[13:09] X
    Now, now. I never said you could
    just answer whenever you wanted.
[13:15] X
    You only get one chance
    to answer each question,
[13:17] X
    and the one to answer this one
    will be... Mashiro-kun.
[13:21] Nagumo
    Why's it gotta be Mashiro?
[13:22] X
    Because she seems the dumbest.
[13:25] Mashiro
    Who are ya callin' dumb?!
[13:27] X
    What is it with your
    unparalleled desire to please?
[13:30] Mashiro

[13:49] X
    Well, Mashiro-kun? What's your answer?
[13:52] Mashiro
    Um, uh... Ten!
[13:54] X
    Wrong. The answer is one.
[13:57] Mashiro
    Damn it!
[13:58] X
    Okay, here's the second photo.
[14:00] Maki
    Why are they all me?!
[14:03] X
    Now, your next question is...
[14:06] X
    Wrong. Here's the third photo.
[14:10] X
    And the fourth photo.
[14:13] X
    The fifth photo.
[14:17] Nagumo
    They're both on the brink
    for their own reasons.
[14:21] Maki
    M-Mashiro-chan, I can't take any more.
[14:25] Mashiro
    Same here. I'm sorry.
[14:28] Maki
    Listen to me.
[14:30] Maki
    I inspected this room's walls while
    pretending to writhe around in agony.
[14:35] Mashiro
    The walls?
[14:36] Maki
    This is a room that blocks cell service,
[14:38] Maki
    yet he's able to show us a real-time
    video feed. It didn't make sense.
[14:43] Maki
    While looking around, I noticed that wall
    over there is thinner than the rest.
[14:47] Maki
    He's probably behind that wall,
[14:49] Maki
    and using a cable connection
    to appear on the monitor.
[14:52] Maki
    So, Mashiro-chan...
[14:54] Mashiro
    Okay.
[14:56] X
    All right. Here comes the last questi—
[14:59] X
    Wait, I don't see Mashiro-kun.
[15:08] X
    Why'd you open that with
    such a "Hey, you guys open?" vibe?
[15:15] Mashiro
    Maki-chan, the rest is up to you.
[15:17] Mashiro
    Hey, Apple! Where's the nearest bathroom?
[15:20] Apple
    Twelve kilometers straight ahead.
[15:20] Maki
    I don't know who you are...
[15:22] Mashiro
    Twelve kilometers?!
[15:23] Maki
    but I assume you came into this
    prepared to face the consequences.
[15:27] Maki
    Come on now! Think about what you've done!
SIGN    And thus, Mashiro ran...
    in search of the bathroom 12 km away...
[15:30] X
    Forgive me!
SIGN    Nagumo Detective Agency
[15:35] Mashiro
    Lookee! Lookee!
[15:37] Mashiro
    I finally bought one.
[15:39] Nagumo
    Oh, yeah, a Famcm. I know what that is.
[15:43] Mashiro
    Yep, you oldies just call any device
     you haven't seen before a Famcm.
[15:47] Mashiro
    It's a wiretap detector.
[15:49] Mashiro
    It buzzes when it detects
    listening devices nearby.
[15:52] Nagumo
    You and the weird toys you buy...
[15:55] Mashiro
    It's not a toy. And it wasn't cheap.
[15:57] Nagumo
    Oh, yeah? How much?
[15:59] Mashiro
    120,000.
[16:00] Nagumo
    That's like eight times what I expected!
[16:02] Mashiro
    It's this year's latest model.
    I worked hard to save up for it!
[16:06] Nagumo
    Most HS girls would only say that
    about stuff like purses or clothes.
[16:11] Mashiro
    Let's test it out right away!
[16:14] Nagumo
    You're not gonna find any here.
    We're a detective agency.
[16:17] Mashiro
    Click.
[16:22] Mashiro
    There is one!
[16:24] Mashiro
    Does this mean someone's been
    listening to us this whole time?!
[16:27] Nagumo
    Just calm down, Mashiro.
[16:28] Mashiro
    The conversations... and the humming?
[16:30] Mashiro
    Even that cassowary call
    I've been practicing?!
[16:33] Nagumo
    So you were the one making
    that racket every morning!
[16:36] Mashiro
    What do we do?! They're listening
    right this minute, aren't they?
[16:39] Nagumo
    Probably.

[16:54] Mashiro
    I can't find any bugs at all.
[16:57] Nagumo
    You'd better put all this stuff back.
[16:59] Mashiro
    I found a disturbing number
    of your porn mags, though.
[17:02] Nagumo
    You didn't have to line them up
    in alphabetical order!
[17:06] Mashiro
    And I've been searching like crazy.
[17:08] Nagumo
    Your detector's probably just broken.
[17:11] Mashiro
    It's brand-new! It can't be—
[17:16] Mashiro
    Wait, is it picking up something
    on the floor below us?
[17:21] Nagumo
    Maybe.

[17:33] Mashiro
    Y'know, old dude, you should work on
    getting to know the neighbors.
[17:38] Nagumo
    Idiot! Don't touch that without thinking!
[17:39] Mashiro
    Huh?
[17:42] Mashiro
    What the hell?!
[17:43] Nagumo
    I told you!
[17:45] Mashiro
    Take this!
[17:52] Azuha
    You government lapdogs
    finally tracked me down, huh?
[17:54] Azuha
    I knew you'd come to try
    and steal my inventions one day.
[17:58] Azuha
    But you messed with the wrong woman.
     Just give up and—
[18:03] Azuha
    Huh?
[18:05] Azuha
    A girl? Who are you? CIA?
[18:08] Nagumo
    Let her go. She's my assistant.
[18:11] Azuha
    I know that voice. Mr. Nagumo!
[18:13] Azuha
    Wait, no! What is this icky creature?!
[18:17] Azuha
    Whew, my mistake.
[18:19] Azuha
    That's a blunder no agent should ever make.
[18:25] Azuha
    Mr. Nagumo, this is one fresh
    young lady you've got here.
[18:28] Nagumo
    Don't call her "fresh."
[18:30] Nagumo
    What have you even been doing,
    locked away in here?
[18:33] Azuha
    Research upon research,
    day after day, of course.
[18:35] Mashiro
    Hey, old dude, who's this lady?
[18:39] Nagumo
    Someone who keeps making weird junk
    even though she never went to college—
[18:43] Azuha
    I'll tell you, fresh young HS girl.
[18:45] Azuha
    At times, a supermarket cashier.
[18:47] Azuha
    At times, a reliable hitter
    for a sandlot baseball team.
[18:50] Azuha
    At times, a supermarket cashier.
[18:52] Nagumo
    You already said that!
[18:54] Azuha
    But my true identity is...
[18:57] Azuha
    I strike down evil with the power of science.
[18:59] Azuha
    A cute, hot jack-of-all-trades.
[19:03] Azuha
    Someone once called me
    the inventor queen of Shinjuku.
[19:06] Azuha
    Science agent...
[19:09] Azuha
    Hoshino Azuha!
[19:11] Mashiro
    Y-You're so cool!
[19:14] Nagumo
    This is why I didn't want
    to introduce you to her.
[19:17] Mashiro
    I'm so interested in agent work!
    Do you think I could be one?
[19:21] Azuha
    Fresh young HS girl, 
    have you seem all the 0°7 movies?
[19:24] Mashiro
    Well, yes, for what it's worth.
[19:26] Azuha
    Welcome to the world of agents.
[19:28] Nagumo
    That was easy.
[19:30] Azuha
    Anyway, what brings you two here to see me?
[19:33] Nagumo
    So dismissive.
SIGN    There's a bug planted in this room
[19:36] Azuha
    Really? So you're here to find it?
SIGN    We want to find not only the bug, 
    but the person who planted it
[19:38] Azuha
    Uh-huh.
SIGN    So we're trying to come up
     with a plan to find both
SIGN    Mashiro
[19:46] Mashiro
    Oops! This is from when
    I was practicing my autograph!
[19:50] Nagumo
    So that's the deal. Got any good ideas?
[19:54] Azuha
    I have just the invention for you!
[19:57] Azuha
    My DP-02VK prototype!
[20:02] Nagumo
    That name really doesn't
    deserve a dramatic intro.
[20:04] Nagumo
    What is it? A detector?
[20:07] Azuha
    Non, non, non.
[20:08] Azuha
    It'd be faster to catch
    the culprit first, right?
[20:12] Azuha
    Oh, you might want to cover your ears.
SIGN    Waaah
[20:16] Azuha
    Man, that's loud!
[20:18] Nagumo
    What the hell was that for?!
[20:21] Azuha
    The culprit's gonna have the volume up
     so they don't miss a thing, right?
[20:26] Azuha
    So that should have done
    a real number on their ears.
[20:30] Azuha
    In other words, whoever's clutching
    their ears in pain outside is our culprit!
[20:33] Azuha
    That's such a stupid strategy,
    I'm doubting my own ears.
[20:36] Mashiro
    I get it.
[20:37] Nagumo
    Don't agree with her.
    They're not gonna conveniently be—
[20:42] Delivery Boy
    My ears!
[20:44] Nagumo INT
    There is a guy clutching his ears in pain!
[20:48] Delivery Boy
    I'm sorry. I acted on impulse.
[20:51] Delivery Boy
    Midway through delivering
    all those pizzas here, I fell in love.
[20:54] Mashiro
    If apologies were enough,
    we wouldn't need cops!
[20:56] Delivery Boy
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[20:58] Nagumo
    How'd that guy get into your place, though?
[21:02] Azuha
    Well, I can't be bothered
     to open the door,
[21:04] Azuha
    so I always have him
    bring the pizza over to me.
[21:07] Nagumo
    You're debauched beyond
    belief, you know that?
[21:10] Nagumo
    Well, we're off to see the police.
[21:13] Nagumo
    Make sure you lock up, all right?
[21:17] Nagumo
    What?
[21:20] Azuha
    You seem to be having more fun these days.
[21:22] Azuha
    Because of her?
[21:25] Nagumo
    I mean, I wouldn't say...
[21:28] Nagumo
    Well, I never get bored, that's for sure.
[21:31] Mashiro
    Old dude! Will you get up already?
[21:35] Mashiro
    I told you to take out the trash.
[21:37] Nagumo
    I can't eat any more.
[21:40] Nagumo
    My liver enzymes
    weren't so good last time.
[21:43] Mashiro
    He's even stingy in his dreams.
[21:45] Mashiro
    Look at you, lazing around like a pig.
    You're in no place to criticize Azuha-san.
[21:50] Mashiro
    Oh, right!
[21:52] Mashiro
    Wakey-wakey, old dude!
[22:01] Mashiro
    The hell?!
[22:02] Mashiro
    Who are those guys?!
[22:05] Mashiro NA
    Forget wiretaps. We had actual thieves
    lurking in here like termites.
