**[01:04] Sekiguchi**
This guy was a dud.
**[01:05] Sekiguchi**
He's actually part-time janitor.
**[01:07] Sekiguchi**
Not only that, but he's drowning in debt.
**[01:09] Yano**
Drowning in debt and desperate.
**[01:12] Yano**
Thought he could get away
with lyin' about it.
**[01:14] Sekiguchi**
The only thing he had on him was this ring.
**[01:18] Yano**
An engagement ring? I could cry.
**[01:19] Yano**
So desperate to tie the knot he lied?
**[01:21] Yano**
Have middle-aged men's brains liquefied?
**[01:22] Yano**
Will he tie a noose instead
after being tossed aside?
**[01:24] Yano**
An article of tribute for his fake honey.
**[01:26] Yano**
If you ask me, this wasn't worth the money.
**[01:30] Yano**
Who's got any use for this counterfeit?
**[01:32] Yano**
I've got a few ideas 'bout where he can stick it.
**[01:36] Kakihana**
Where's Shiho-chan? Is she all right?
**[01:39] Yano**
Hey, Kakihana-chan.
**[01:41] Yano**
If you still trust that girl you wanted to
get with, your brains are in the trash can.
**[01:45] Yano**
That calculating girl who flirted with you
for your money took off and ran.
**[01:49] Yano**
In other words, it was a scam.
**[01:51] Yano**
I'm the one who told her to wait and
see what your lame ass would do.
**[01:54] Yano**
Let you think you'd won before
sucking you dry and killing you.
**[02:01] Dobu**
That's all for today.
I'll come up with a new plan.
***SIGN*** Fuyuki Yamamoto
Incoming Call
**[02:08] Dobu**
Hey, isn't this the guy you said
wanted your dash cam data?
**[02:13] Odokawa**
That's right.
**[02:14] Dobu**
Answer and put it on speakerphone.
**[02:19] Odokawa**
Hello?
**[02:20] Yamamoto**
* Ah, Odokawa-san. Could you*
* come pick me up right away?*
**[02:23] Odokawa**
This is sudden. Does it have to be me?
**[02:25] Yamamoto**
*Aren't most pickups sudden?*
**[02:27] Yamamoto**
* It's one of those girls who*
* can't be seen by the public.*
**[02:31] Odokawa**
Where?
**[02:32] Yamamoto**
*A short distance away from Shibuya.*
**[02:35] Odokawa**
Got it. I'll be there in ten minutes.
**[02:38] Yamamoto**
*Thanks.*
**[02:41] Odokawa**
What should I do? He'll probably
ask for my dash cam data.
**[02:49] Dobu**
Let me ride in the trunk.
**[02:51] Dobu**
I'll eavesdrop on your conversation
through your phone.
**[02:55] Odokawa**
I can't do that. As far as I'm concerned,
he's a harmless passenger.
**[03:00] Dobu**
Then ask him why he really wants the data,
**[03:04] Dobu**
and if he's connected to Yano,
then tell me about it later.
**[03:07] Odokawa**
Don't you think he'd lie about that?
**[03:09] Dobu**
That's right. That's why violence
is the only way to get people to talk.
**[03:13] Dobu**
Let me meet him.
**[03:15] Dobu**
I'm the one who has the dash cam data.
**[03:17] Dobu**
I'm sure Yamamoto wants to meet me, too.
**[03:19] Odokawa**
I can't let you do that.
**[03:21] Odokawa**
I have to go. I told him
I'd be there in ten minutes.
**[03:23] Dobu**
Fine. If he asks for your
dash cam data, tell him this.
**[03:28] Dobu**
You'll sell it to him for one billion yen.
**[03:35] Yamamoto**
Sorry, Odokawa-san. Could you take us
to Shibaura Harbor in a hurry?
**[03:39] Odokawa**
The harbor?
**[03:40] Odokawa**
Hey, it's the girl who likes hot springs.
**[03:47] Odokawa**
A calico cat. Where have I seen one before?
**[03:51] Yamamoto**
What are you talking about, Odokawa-san?
**[03:56] Ichimura**
Hey, am I going to meet Ya—that guy?
**[04:01] Yamamoto**
Yeah. I'm sorry, but if you want to quit,
you have to tell him yourself.
**[04:04] Ichimura**
I worked really hard, though.
**[04:06] Yamamoto**
Apparently, that target didn't work out.
**[04:08] Ichimura**
What? You mean he didn't have money?
**[04:10] Ichimura**
Is that old man serious?
**[04:12] Yamamoto**
Oh, right. I just remembered.
**[04:14] Yamamoto**
Have you considered my request
to hand over your dash cam data?
**[04:18] Odokawa**
Yeah, sure.
**[04:19] Yamamoto**
Really?
**[04:20] Odokawa**
I'll sell it to you.
**[04:21] Yamamoto**
For how much?
**[04:22] Odokawa**
One billion.
**[04:25] Yamamoto**
That's the kind of price
a child would come up with.
**[04:30] Yamamoto**
What? You're being serious?
**[04:33] Odokawa**
Super serious.
**[04:34] Yamamoto**
This is ridiculous, Odokawa-san.
You're gouging me here.
**[04:37] Odokawa**
I found someone who said
they'd buy it for 900 million.
**[04:40] Odokawa**
That's why I want one billion.
**[04:42] Yamamoto**
You're lying.
**[04:47] Yamamoto**
Who is it?
**[04:49] Odokawa**
I can't tell you that.
**[04:56] Yamamoto**
If that's true, then I need
to discuss this with someone.
**[04:59] Odokawa**
Discuss it all you want.
**[05:02] Odokawa**
I wouldn't mind 900 million or one billion.
**[05:06] Yamamoto**
I'll be in touch.
**[05:26] Sekiguchi**
Doesn't this seem like not enough profit?
**[05:28] Sekiguchi**
Is this all we make from concerts?
**[05:29] Yamamoto**
They weren't the only ones performing today.
**[05:32] Sekiguchi**
Why's she here?
**[05:34] Yamamoto**
She doesn't want to run
badger games anymore,
**[05:36] Yamamoto**
so she's here to talk to Yano-san.
**[05:39] Sekiguchi**
Ah.
**[05:42] Sekiguchi**
He's busy right now.
**[05:45] Yamamoto**
More importantly, I've got some bad news.
**[05:48] Yamamoto**
Could I talk to him for a few minutes?
**[05:49] Sekiguchi**
Bad news?
**[05:51] Yamamoto**
It's about the dash cam.
**[05:51] Kakihana**
Shiho-chan!
**[05:53] Kakihana**
You're being tricked, right?
**[05:55] Kakihana**
I'll protect you from these guys!
**[06:03] Kakihana**
It's okay, Shiho-chan.
I'm actually pretty strong.
**[06:07] Kakihana**
I've mastered every martial art there is,
from sumo for kids to whatever-jiujitsu.
**[06:13] Ichimura**
Don't get the wrong idea, mister.
Seriously, I can't even.
**[06:16] Kakihana**
Shiho-chan, they're making
you say that, aren't they?
**[06:19] Kakihana**
Didn't we have fun together?
**[06:21] Kakihana**
We ate lots of good food together!
**[06:24] Ichimura**
Spending time with you was painful.
**[06:26] Ichimura**
That's why I want to quit
running badger games.
**[06:29] Kakihana**
You're lying! Liar!
**[06:32] Kakihana**
You're not the kind of girl who says that!
**[06:34] Kakihana**
Shiho-chan, you're a liar!
**[06:35] Ichimura**
You're the liar, you bum. You're broke.
**[06:38] Kakihana**
Why?! Why would you say that?!
**[06:42] Kakihana**
I don't believe you! You're lying!
**[06:50] Sekiguchi**
Shut up.
***SIGN*** Ayumu Goriki
***SIGN*** Can you tell who this is?
***SIGN*** Can you tell who this is?
***SIGN*** It's Kakihana, you unemployed bum.
***SIGN*** Wanna get drinks at Yamabiko right now?
**[07:19] Odokawa**
It's been a while. I guess I'll go.
***SIGN*** Goriki Clinic
**[07:23] Goriki**
Can you tell from this photo
that this is Kakihana?
**[07:26] Shirakawa**
I guess I'd believe you
if you told me it was him.
**[07:29] Shirakawa**
I doubt I'd know if I were just
shown this photo without context.
**[07:32] Goriki**
Yeah.
**[07:34] Shirakawa**
It only took Odokawa-san
a second to identify him.
**[07:36] Shirakawa**
Does that tell us anything?
**[07:38] Goriki**
At first I thought Odokawa
had an exceptional memory,
**[07:41] Goriki**
but it doesn't feel right.
**[07:43] Shirakawa**
You're right. I thought
maybe he had good instincts.
**[07:47] Goriki**
It's almost like synesthesia.
**[07:50] Shirakawa**
Synesthesia?
**[07:51] Goriki**
It's when one sense is stimulated,
**[07:53] Goriki**
and a completely different
sense is triggered.
**[07:57] Goriki**
Like seeing colors or feeling textures
when you hear sounds or see letters.
**[08:01] Goriki**
Maybe Odokawa has some kind
of indicator for telling people apart
**[08:04] Goriki**
and is basing it on that.
**[08:07] Shirakawa**
I don't know if this is related,
**[08:10] Shirakawa**
but apparently Odokawa-san has been
speaking to someone in his home,
**[08:13] Shirakawa**
and he's clearly not talking to himself.
**[08:16] Goriki**
Regarding that, if there really
isn't anybody there,
**[08:20] Goriki**
then maybe it's an imaginary friend.
**[08:23] Shirakawa**
Like a figment of his imagination?
**[08:26] Goriki**
Yeah.
**[08:27] Goriki**
You might already know, but he's lived alone
**[08:30] Goriki**
since his parents abandoned him
when he was in grade school.
**[08:34] Shirakawa**
Alone?
**[08:35] Goriki**
Apparently some kind of NPO
that supports orphans
**[08:38] Goriki**
sent him money to cover his living expenses.
**[08:41] Goriki**
He pretends that he wanted for nothing
**[08:43] Goriki**
and experienced no
difficulties because of that.
**[08:45] Goriki**
But if he's invented an imaginary friend,
**[08:48] Goriki**
then he may be under more
stress than he realizes.
**[08:53] Shirakawa**
When did the two of you meet?
**[08:56] Goriki**
About three years ago, I think.
**[08:58] Shirakawa**
I thought it was this year when he first
started seeing you for consultations.
**[09:01] Shirakawa**
Had he been coming
to the clinic before that?
**[09:03] Goriki**
No. I rode in his taxi as a passenger first.
**[09:07] Shibagaki**
*It's finally starting.*
**[09:09] Baba**
*Sure has.*
**[09:10] Shibagaki**
* We used to broadcast in just Osaka,*
* but now we've gone national.*
**[09:13] Baba**
* That's right. Starting this year,*
* the Homosapiens have expanded to Tokyo.*
**[09:16] Shibagaki**
*For real. I'm overjoyed.*
**[09:17] (Flashback) Goriki**
Could you turn that off? It's annoying.
**[09:17] Baba**
*For sure.*
**[09:18] Shibagaki**
*Got here sooner than I expected.*
**[09:19] Baba**
*Yeah, seriously.*
**[09:20] Shibagaki**
*Guess we should keep trying, then—*
**[09:28] (Flashback) Odokawa**
How old are you?
**[09:30] (Flashback) Goriki**
38.
**[09:33] (Flashback) Odokawa**
We're the same age?
You seem so dignified, though.
**[09:36] (Flashback) Goriki**
Hey, that's rude. Mind your manners.
**[09:39] (Flashback) Odokawa**
Manners? You act like you're real important.
**[09:43] (Flashback) Odokawa**
What, do you think
the customer is always right?
**[09:45] (Flashback) Odokawa**
I bet you look down on taxi drivers.
**[09:47] (Flashback) Goriki**
You got some kind of pent-up anger, or what?
**[09:50] (Flashback) Goriki**
It's not anyone's fault
that your life isn't going well.
**[09:52] (Flashback) Goriki**
It's not your environment's
fault, either. It's your fault.
**[09:55] (Flashback) Goriki**
You should resolve it yourself
without bothering others.
**[09:59] (Flashback) Odokawa**
Of course. Doctors speak
differently from the rest of us.
**[10:02] (Flashback) Odokawa**
Hey, that got to you.
**[10:04] (Flashback) Odokawa**
That's charming. Good for you.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Goriki**
How'd you know?
**[10:08] (Flashback) Odokawa**
I'm psychic.
**[10:12] (Flashback) Goriki**
Then why didn't you know my age?
**[10:15] (Flashback) Odokawa**
Psychic powers come in a variety of flavors.
**[10:17] (Flashback) Odokawa**
I can see souls.
**[10:20] (Flashback) Odokawa**
And your soul's been screaming, "I'm a doctor."
**[10:24] (Flashback) Odokawa**
As for your age, I couldn't tell because
your soul and body are so separated.
**[10:30] (Flashback) Odokawa**
In other words, you look old.
**[10:36] (Flashback) Goriki**
You're funny.
**[10:38] (Flashback) Goriki**
In that case, can you hear what my soul
is shouting now? What's it saying?
**[10:41] (Flashback) Odokawa**
"Don't turn. Head straight ahead."
**[10:47] (Flashback) Odokawa**
Turning here gets us to your clinic faster.
**[10:51] Goriki**
I was shocked. It really *was* a shortcut.
**[10:55] Goriki**
At first, I thought he had
an exceptional sense of smell
**[10:58] Goriki**
that allowed him to pick up on the
distinctive hospital smell coming off of me.
**[11:02] Shirakawa**
But you think it's synesthesia?
**[11:04] Goriki**
When I asked how he did it later,
he said it was nothing.
**[11:06] Goriki**
He'd just had me as a passenger before.
**[11:09] Shirakawa**
So you thought it was his memory.
**[11:12] Goriki**
Yeah. I thought it was impressive, if true.
**[11:15] Goriki**
That's why synesthesia makes sense to me.
**[11:19] Goriki**
I'm going to Yamabiko for a drink.
**[11:21] Goriki**
Shirakawa-san, do you want to come with me?
**[11:25] Shirakawa**
If I go, I imagine Odokawa-san would leave.
**[11:31] Odokawa**
Mochi kinchaku and daikon radish.
**[11:34] Odokawa**
I'd like some kind of nerimono, too.
**[11:39] Odokawa**
Wait a minute. You've got
a Donraku Shofutei autograph.
***SIGN*** To Yamabiko
Donraku
**[11:42] Taeko**
That's right. He stopped by the other day.
**[11:45] Odokawa**
Really? Wow.
**[11:47] Goriki**
You sure do like him, Odokawa.
**[11:49] Taeko**
He sat right over there with an
incredibly cross look on his face.
**[11:52] Goriki**
He came alone?
**[11:54] Taeko**
He had an attendant with him,
as well as a driver outside.
**[11:57] Odokawa**
What did they talk about?
**[11:59] Taeko**
How young comedians these days
are obsessed with innovation
**[12:02] Taeko**
and don't have the basics down.
**[12:03] Taeko**
Or how he pretends he doesn't mince words.
**[12:06] Taeko**
Or how being a commentator
or judging comedy contests
**[12:09] Taeko**
doesn't benefit him in any way.
**[12:11] Taeko**
I thought he was getting mad,
**[12:13] Taeko**
but then, he started cackling
while reminiscing about his old mentor.
**[12:16] Odokawa**
You totally eavesdropped.
**[12:19] Goriki**
Oh, right, Odokawa. Let me quiz you.
**[12:22] Odokawa**
What's gotten into you?
**[12:22] Odokawa**
Does losing your job make you
turn back into a child?
**[12:25] Taeko**
I'd like to play, too.
**[12:26] Goriki**
Sure. You can join us.
**[12:28] Goriki**
Can you tell who this is?
**[12:31] Odokawa**
Is this your thing these days?
**[12:32] Taeko**
How am I supposed to know?
**[12:35] Goriki**
Exactly. But Odokawa
identified him immediately.
**[12:39] Odokawa**
It's clearly Kakihana.
**[12:41] Taeko**
But that's just how Odokawa-san is.
**[12:43] Taeko**
He remembers the faces
of customers I don't recognize.
**[12:46] Taeko**
I bet you'd be good at customer service.
**[12:48] Odokawa**
I can't unless they make an impression.
**[12:51] Goriki**
That's not the question here.
**[12:55] Goriki**
Do you know who this is?
***SIGN*** Inbox
***SIGN*** Got it. I'll stop by later.
**[12:57] Odokawa**
Of course not.
**[12:59] Goriki**
Really?
**[13:00] Odokawa**
Really.
**[13:01] Taeko**
Odokawa-san, are you psychic?
Like Psychometrer What's-his-name?
**[13:04] Goriki**
What's this, then?
**[13:06] Odokawa**
A bird?
**[13:07] Taeko**
Even I know that one. It's a bird.
**[13:10] Goriki**
Correct.
**[13:11] Odokawa**
Are you making fun of me?
**[13:12] Goriki**
Next, this one.
**[13:14] Odokawa**
Shirakawa-san.
**[13:16] Odokawa**
What the hell have you been up to?
**[13:18] Taeko**
That's Shirakawa-san?
Is this some kind of kink?
**[13:20] Taeko**
Mixing your personal and professional
lives? My, how scandalous.
**[13:23] Goriki**
I see.
**[13:24] Odokawa**
What are you trying to pull?
**[13:26] Goriki**
Nevermind. Let's drink.
**[13:28] Goriki**
Ma'am, drink with us.
**[13:29] Taeko**
Perhaps I'll have a drink, then.
**[13:30] Odokawa**
Must be nice being unemployed.

**[13:50] Sekiguchi**
So, Yamamoto, what's your bad news?
**[13:53] Yamamoto**
It's about the dash cam data.
**[13:57] Yamamoto**
Apparently someone else has
offered to buy it for 900 million.
**[14:00] Sekicuhi**
900 million? He's lying so he can gouge you.
**[14:03] Yamamoto**
I hope you're right, but we need to get
that dash cam data soon.
**[14:07] Yamamoto**
It was on the news the other day.
**[14:09] Yamamoto**
I haven't been able to sleep since then.
**[14:11] Yamamoto**
I keep expecting my doorbell to ring.
**[14:15] Sekiguchi**
Quit your whining!
**[14:20] Yamamoto**
Mystery Kiss is doing great right now.
**[14:22] Yamamoto**
Their CD is about to go on sale!
**[14:24] Sekiguchi**
You mean they'll make more money?
**[14:27] Yamamoto**
Yes, and a guy who's a fan of our Nikaido
**[14:31] Yamamoto**
won one billion yen in the lottery.
**[14:34] Yamamoto**
I'm not sure if it's true or not,
**[14:35] Yamamoto**
but I imagine he'll spend
quite a lot of money on us.
**[14:39] Sekiguchi**
One billion? Robbing him
would be more profitable.
**[14:43] Yamamoto**
That won't help Mystery Kiss get big!
**[14:45] Yano**
Okay, okay. Nikaido sure is cute.
**[14:47] Yano**
Ask her if she'd like to spend
a night with me nude.
**[14:50] Yano**
I was picturing that future but still listening to you.
**[14:54] Yano**
My instincts tell me Dobu-san is involved.
**[14:55] Yano**
Like the cop from those books.
Inspector Totsugawa, I think he was called.
**[15:00] Sekiguchi**
Dobu-san offered to buy
the data for 900 million?
**[15:02] Yano**
That's what I'm thinkin'.
**[15:03] Yano**
He knows the guy who has
the one billion, let that sink in.
**[15:06] Yano**
He's tryin' to get us to
rob him, and earn a free win.
**[15:08] Yano**
Or Dobu-san himself is planning
to rob the fella, I know.
**[15:11] Yano**
I can see his train of thought
clearly as it comes and goes.
**[15:13] Yano**
That's what makes me the best, y'know?!
**[15:17] Sekiguchi**
So, what should we do?
**[15:18] Yano**
What should we do? We do what we can.
**[15:20] Yano**
For now, we'll just play
along with his little plan.
**[15:23] Yano**
He's a tasty target for us, too, so I'm a fan.
**[15:26] Yano**
A few million would be another story.
**[15:28] Yano**
But playing the odds
for a billion? Mandatory.
**[15:30] Yano**
Dobu-san's trying to make
money by ripping off my act.
**[15:33] Yano**
Without a doubt, he's a shitty copycat.
**[15:34] Yano**
I'd like to take him down,
but I need forty winks.
**[15:37] Yano**
Game set for tonight,
tomorrow it's time to think.
**[15:40] Sekiguchi**
What should we do with him?
**[15:42] Yano**
He's an extra life in video game terms.
**[15:46] Yano**
We should hold onto all the sacrificial
pawns we can, as far as I'm concerned.
**[15:49] Yano**
The more you have, the more
prepared you'll be for misfortune.
**[15:52] Yano**
You understand that, right?
Then don't speak, okay?
**[15:54] Yano**
I'll be thinkin' about you night and day.
**[15:57] Yano**
Until he cashes that lottery ticket,
we'll be keeping you locked away.
**[16:02] Yano**
So, Kakihana, live as long as you can.
**[16:05] Yano**
Are you of sound mind?

**[16:08] Yano**
Talk to her before you forget how.
**[16:10] Yano**
I called her number for you just now.
**[16:13] Kakihana**
Hey, Mom. Sorry for calling so late.
**[16:17] Kakihana**
No, it's nothing.
**[16:20] Kakihana**
I was just wondering how you're doing.
**[16:23] Kakihana**
The other day, I said I might
be getting married, but...
**[16:30] Kakihana**
It's not happening.
**[16:35] Odokawa**
*Hey, Dobu. To your left. It's Kabasawa.*
***SIGN*** [Assault] Dobu's violence finally caught on camera!! [Injury]
**[16:38] Kabasawa**
* As you just saw, I finally*
* succeeded in filming him myself.*
**[16:41] Kabasawa**
* The Kabasawa Online Salon*
* closed community met in Shibuya*
**[16:46] Kabasawa**
* wearing skull masks for a million yen prize*
* for whoever catches him,*
**[16:49] Kabasawa**
*but one of our members became his victim.*
**[16:51] Kabasawa**
*He won't get away with this!*
**[16:52] Kabasawa**
*So, everyone, let's corner Dobu.*
**[16:55] Kabasawa**
* If you'd like to help, please join*
* the Kabasawa Online Salon.*
**[16:59] Kabasawa**
*We're trying to break ten thousand members.*
**[17:01] Kabasawa**
* For a limited time, the monthly fee*
* is just ten thousand yen!*
**[17:04] Kabasawa**
* Anyway, didn't that video*
* strike you as a little odd?*
**[17:08] Kabasawa**
* That voice at the end shouting,*
* "Hey, Dobu. To your left. It's Kabasawa."*
**[17:12] Kabasawa**
*Who was that?*
**[17:13] Kabasawa**
*I think there's a traitor in the salon.*
**[17:16] Kabasawa**
*After all, I was wearing this then.*
**[17:20] Kabasawa**
*How did they know?! It doesn't make sense!*
**[17:22] Kabasawa**
* Whoever finds the traitor*
* gets a million yen, too!*
**[17:25] Kabasawa**
*The Online Salon is jumping at shadows now!*
**[17:27] Kabasawa**
*Show them our solidarity! Catch them!*
**[17:29] Kabasawa**
*Catch Dobu! Catch the traitor!*
**[17:29] Man**
This thing has a ton of views.
I bet he's made a lot of money.
**[17:32] Kabasawa**
*That's right, you!
I promise I'll expose you!*
**[17:33] Woman**
I know, right? But apparently
he's starting to gain haters.
**[17:36] Woman**
They say he's a one-hit
wonder and a coward.

We made it to the semifinals.
**[18:00] Shibagaki**
Yeah!
**[18:03] Dobu**
So, Yamamoto the manager seemed flustered?
**[18:07] Odokawa**
Yeah. He wanted to know who
was trying to buy it for 900 million.
**[18:12] Dobu**
He was heading to a warehouse
at the harbor, right?
**[18:14] Dobu**
He's definitely connected to Yano, then.
**[18:17] Odokawa**
Was the boss's classmate's
daughter in the dash cam data?
**[18:22] Dobu**
I checked, but I don't know
which passenger she would be.
**[18:26] Dobu**
And it's not like I can show the boss.
**[18:28] Odokawa**
So, what are you going to do next?
**[18:31] Dobu**
I'm gonna rob a bank.
**[18:36] Odokawa**
What? Sorry, I wasn't listening.
***SIGN*** Recording 1.wav
**[18:39] Odokawa**
Apparently my friend is missing.
**[18:42] Dobu**
I'm going to rob a bank.
**[18:45] Odokawa**
Are you stupid? How, in this day and age?
**[18:48] Dobu**
To be precise, I'm going to rob someone
who's at the bank to make a withdrawal.
**[18:52] Dobu**
I want you to help me.
**[18:53] Odokawa**
Is the risk-return worth it?
**[18:56] Odokawa**
Nobody walks around with that much cash.
**[18:58] Dobu**
It's worth the risk. After all,
he'll have one billion yen.
**[19:02] Odokawa**
What do you mean? Explain.
**[19:05] Dobu**
It takes a week or two to get
enough cash for a large withdrawal.
**[19:10] Dobu**
They're supposed to contact me
when that happens.
**[19:13] Dobu**
They'll let me know who's receiving
how much cash on what day at what time,
**[19:18] Dobu**
because I've bribed a bank employee.
**[19:21] Odokawa**
And then you're free to do
what you want with them?
**[19:23] Dobu**
That's right. That's when
the real crime begins.
**[19:27] Odokawa**
Where did the number one
billion yen come from?
**[19:29] Dobu**
The bank in question exchanges
lottery tickets for money.
**[19:33] Dobu**
Anyone who wins a large
amount has to go there.
**[19:36] Odokawa**
Even so, nobody would withdraw
that much money in cash.
**[19:39] Dobu**
But recently, someone has
appeared on the internet
**[19:42] Dobu**
claiming to have won one billion yen.
**[19:44] Dobu**
Yano's probably aware of him, too.
**[19:47] Dobu**
Because I demanded one
billion from Yamamoto,
**[19:51] Dobu**
Yano will go after that guy
for his one billion yen.
**[19:54] Dobu**
I don't know if they'll threaten him,
**[19:56] Dobu**
but they'll force him to withdraw the money.
**[20:00] Dobu**
I'll be waiting for that opportunity.
**[20:02] Dobu**
It's what you call fishing
in troubled waters.
**[20:04] Odokawa**
Can you trust someone
who makes that claim online?
**[20:08] Dobu**
If it's fake, that's fine.
**[20:11] Dobu**
*Somebody* won one billion yen.
**[20:13] Dobu**
Yano and his crew will find them.
**[20:15] Odokawa**
How much is one billion yen in cash?
**[20:18] Odokawa**
Can it be easily stolen?
**[20:20] Dobu**
It weighs about 100 kilos.
Not impossible to carry.
**[20:23] Odokawa**
I doubt the bank employees will help you.
**[20:26] Odokawa**
Do you have other allies?
**[20:27] Dobu**
Among the police, yeah.
**[20:29] Odokawa**
Who?
**[20:30] Dobu**
You've been asking some very thoughtful
and expository questions.
**[20:35] Dobu**
Like you're trying to get me to commit
to answers for a third party to listen to.
**[20:40] Odokawa**
I'm getting involved in a major crime here.
**[20:43] Odokawa**
Of course I want to know the details.
**[20:44] Dobu**
Who, huh? I'm sure you have some idea.
**[20:48] Odokawa**
I don't. Who is it?
**[20:51] Dobu**
Daimon.
**[20:53] Odokawa**
Really? Which one?
**[20:55] Dobu**
The older brother.

Yeah. I'm worried about him.

**[21:07] Dobu**
Be ready to go anytime.
Stay nimble and alert.

**[21:53] Imai**
What is it, Odokawa-sama?
**[21:55] Odokawa**
When are you going to cash
your one billion yen?
**[21:57] Imai**
Mystery Kiss' CD is going
on sale on Christmas.
**[22:00] Imai**
I thought I'd time it with that.
**[22:02] Imai**
I'm going to pre-order
300,000 this time.
**[22:04] Imai**
When you think of it that way,
one billion doesn't seem like much.
**[22:07] Odokawa**
Could you wait a little longer
to redeem your ticket?
**[22:10] Odokawa**
Some gangsters are after your money.
**[22:13] Imai**
Seriously?! That's super scary!
**[22:16] Odokawa**
It's because you posted
about it online, you idiot.
**[22:18] Odokawa**
I want you to change residences
and lay low for a while.
**[22:21] Odokawa**
Also, is that picture of your
winning lottery ticket still online?
**[22:24] Imai**
Huh?
**[22:25] Odokawa**
Edit it and re-upload it.
**[22:28] Odokawa**
Say you actually didn't win.
**[22:30] Odokawa**
That you wanted to show off.
Pretend you're a pitiful idiot.
**[22:33] Imai**
Will that work?
**[22:34] Odokawa**
I don't know if this will
make you feel better,
**[22:36] Odokawa**
but you do want to live a long life, right?
**[22:38] Imai**
Yes. I can't die until Mystery Kiss
takes over the country.
**[22:42] Imai**
Mystery Kiss has been
through a lot of hardship,
**[22:44] Imai**
but their spring's finally on the horizon!
**[22:50] Imai**
Ow. What was that for, Odokawa-sama?
**[22:54] Odokawa**
What did you just say?
**[22:56] Imai**
Ow. What was that for, Odokawa-sama?
**[22:59] Odokawa**
Before that.
**[23:00] Imai**
Mystery Kiss' CD is going
on sale on Christmas.
**[23:04] Imai**
I thought I'd time it with that.
**[23:05] Imai**
I'm going to pre-order

**[23:08] Imai**
When you think of it that way,
one billion doesn't seem like much.
**[23:10] Odokawa**
That's too far back.
**[23:11] Imai**
What? I can't die until Mystery
Kiss takes over the country.
**[23:14] Odokawa**
After that.
