[02:59] Mashiro
    Oh, hello? I'm the owner of that smartphone.
[03:03] Mashiro
    Thank you for picking it up for me!
[03:06] Thief
    Sure, I picked it up, but don't go thinking
    I'll give it back to you for free.
[03:12] Mashiro
    Huh?
[03:13] Thief
    What kinda idiot uses "0000"

[03:16] Thief
    But y'know, you're pretty cute, Mashiro-chan.
[03:20] Mashiro
    You know...
[03:22] Mashiro
    You might want to choose

    You need it back, don't you?
[03:35] Thief
    Oh, and I turned off location services,
    so don't bother trying to track it down.
[03:39] Thief
    If you play my game, though,
    I might be willing to return it to you.
[03:44] Thief
    I'm about to—
[03:48] Thief
    Okay, what kinda girl instantly tries to
    curse someone to death over the phone?

[04:46] Commentator
    The high schooler is locked in a grapple with
    a member of an imperial university sumo club.
[04:50] Nezu
    This seems kinda heavy for her first mission.

    What's that thief after, anyway?
[04:57] Commentator
    Mashiro is holding up

[05:00] Commentator
    In fact, she's somehow airborne!
[05:02] Commentator
    She's seized total supremacy

[05:06] Commentator
    Now she's smiling as
    she lifts 120 kg with one arm!

[09:26] Mashiro
    I figured he'd be nearby to make sure
    I was completing his missions,
[09:31] Mashiro
    so I asked her to swipe the smartphones
    off of any shady-looking guys around.
[09:36] Nezu
    A-All of them?
[09:38] Mashiro
    She secretly returns them
    if the owner's innocent, of course.

    So are you going to let Fuu-chan
    take care of the thief?

    When my popularity skyrocketed,
[13:20] Asunaro
    I decided it was time

[13:39] (Flashback) Producer FB
    Trust me, it'll work. It'll get your name out

[13:45] (Flashback) Producer FB
    How about five million
    for your appearance fee?
[13:47] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Hmm... Five million, you say?
[13:49] Mashiro
    What?! Who would hesitate
    to agree to five million?!

[15:57] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Of course, anyone who couldn't
    see through such a simple disguise
[16:00] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    isn't fit to be my assistant, anyway.

[16:22] (Flashback) Maki FB
    Of course.
[16:23] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Why didn't you leave?
[16:26] (Flashback) Maki FB
    Weren't you shocked when you saw my face?
[16:28] (Flashback) Maki FB
    I knew right away it was a disguise.
[16:31] (Flashback) Maki FB
    I'm very good at seeing through lies.
[16:34] (Flashback) Maki FB
    Besides, it doesn't matter what you look like.
[16:37] (Flashback) Maki FB
    As long as I get paid,
    that's good enough for me.
[16:42] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    You pass.
[16:43] (Flashback) Producer FB
    Wha—Asunaro-kun?!
[16:45] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Hup.
[16:47] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Would you start by telling me your name?
[16:50] (Flashback) Maki FB
    Kazamaki Hana.
[16:51] (Flashback) Maki FB
    And how shall I address you?
[16:54] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Well, let's see... You can call me "Master."
[16:59] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Today is the joyous day of
    the Asunaro Detective Agency's founding.
[17:03] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    I look forward to working with you, Hana-san.
[17:05] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Let's have fun. What do you say?
[17:09] (Flashback) Maki FB
    You can't hold a job forever
    just because it's fun.
[17:12] (Flashback) Maki FB
    I look forward to working with you, Master.
[17:16] Asunaro
    So that's how we met.
[17:19] Mashiro
    Wow, Maki-chan, you were so cool!
[17:21] Maki
    Master, please! Don't tell them
    such ridiculous things.
[17:24] Mashiro
    So why did you decide to be
    a detective's assistant, Maki-chan?
[17:29] Maki
    W-Well, I...
[17:31] Maki
    I always wanted to work in the background
    supporting the one in the limelight.
[17:36] Asunaro
    Oh, come on. You wanted to work
    for me specifically, didn't you?
[17:41] Maki
    You don't have any action commands other than
    "excrete" and "sexually harass," do you, Master?
[17:46] Asunaro
    That's the meanest one I've heard in a while!
[17:48] Asunaro
    Oh, that's right.
[17:49] Asunaro
    I wanted to hear your story,
    too, Nagumo-sensei.
[17:53] Asunaro
    Like the day you started up this office.
[17:55] Mashiro
    Ooh! I don't know about that, either. Tell us!
[17:58] Nagumo
    Aw, jeez. All right, then.
[18:01] Nagumo
    How did the genius Nagumo come to be?

[18:07] Mashiro

[18:11] (Flashback) Nagumo FB
    Wow, this really is a nice property.
[18:14] (Flashback) Staff1 FB
    Isn't it? It has all the latest
    modern conveniences.
[18:17] Mashiro
    Wait, wait, wait!
    What is that grotesque creature?!
[18:20] Nagumo

    If you'll just look over these documents...
[18:32] (Flashback) Staff4 FB
    Um, please sign this autograph board for me.
[18:34] Mashiro
    Is this some kind of fever dream?!
[18:37] Nagumo
    So I signed a bunch of paperwork,
    and opened my office here.
[18:42] (Flashback) Nagumo FB
    All right. Let's do this!
[18:45] (Flashback) Nagumo FB
    I'll be the best detective in Japan.
[18:47] Mashiro
    Why is even your own model
    drifting off into obscurity?
[18:51] Nagumo
    Been a while since I used
    my head that much. I'm beat.
[18:54] Nagumo
    I'm gonna lie down for a bit.
[18:56] Mashiro
    You're really on the brink,
    aren't you, old dude?
[18:59] Mashiro
    Well, he's a lost cause.
    Tell me more of your story.
[19:03] Asunaro
    All right. How about the story

    Don't move a muscle!
[19:20] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Goodness. I didn't know our first job
     together would be this tough.
[19:25] (Flashback) Maki FB
    Until the police get here,
    we should ensure the safety of the hostage,
[19:30] (Flashback) Maki FB
    and make sure the criminal doesn't get away.
[19:35] (Flashback) Maki FB
    I'll handle this.
[19:37] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Wait, Hana-san?
[19:39] (Flashback) Robber FB
    What are you doing? Stay back!
[19:42] (Flashback) Maki FB
    Would you take me as your hostage instead?
[19:47] (Flashback) Robber FB
    Say what?
[19:48] (Flashback) Maki FB
    As a woman, I'm weaker, so you won't
    have to worry about me resisting.
[19:53] (Flashback) Maki FB
    What do you say?
[19:58] (Flashback) Robber FB
    Well, the man you're with
    had better not move.
[20:03] (Flashback) Hostage FB
    Thank you so much!
[20:07] (Flashback) Robber FB
    Okay.
[20:08] (Flashback) Robber FB
    Start up the getaway car.
[20:11] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Oh, the police are already here.
[20:13] (Flashback) Robber FB
    What?!
[20:14] (Flashback) Robber FB
    No way! They're here already?
[20:18] (Flashback) Robber FB
    Wh-What? You were lying?
[20:21] (Flashback) Robber FB
    There aren't any poli—
[20:25] (Flashback) Maki FB
    M-Master? What are you doing?
[20:30] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    I got a good kick in there, huh?
[20:32] (Flashback) Maki FB
    If we'd waited a few more minutes, the police
    would've arrived and wrapped it up nicely.
[20:36] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    But that would've kept you
    in danger even longer.
[20:39] (Flashback) Maki FB
    That gun he has is fake. You didn't notice?
[20:43] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Of course I did.
[20:44] (Flashback) Maki FB
    Then, why...
[20:46] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Why?
[20:48] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    Even if the gun was fake, my precious
    assistant was still at risk of injury.
[20:58] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    I'm truly glad you weren't hurt.
[21:01] (Flashback) Maki FB
    Have you ever been called
    a womanizer, Master?
[21:04] (Flashback) Asunaro FB
    What's this? Have you fallen in love with me?
[21:06] (Flashback) Maki FB
    Take one more step,
    and I'll sue you for sexual harassment.
[21:13] Mashiro
    That almost makes you seem
    legit heroic. How infuriating.
[21:17] Asunaro
    I don't just seem heroic. I am heroic!
[21:22] Maki
    Oh, come on. Isn't that
    enough talk about the past?
[21:25] Maki
    Well, Master? Are you having any cake?
[21:27] Asunaro
    Okay, you can feed it to me.

    Please don't get ahead of yourself.

    Maki-chan really is amazing.
