P2

<Metropolitan Police Department>

Satou: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

--

Satou: Why do you look sloppy? // You’re a cop and you should look like one.

Takagi: I can’t help it… / I was on a stakeout last night… // <yawn>

--

Satou: Geez! // At least fix your tie!

Takagi: It’s fine… // I’ve finished my report and I’m just going home to sleep now…

--

Satou: Hey! // Stop moving!!

Takagi: Oh… // Sorry…

--

Takagi: Huh?

P3

Takagi: You know what? It’s fine! // I can do it myself!

--

Takagi: See you later… // Excuse me, everyone…

--

Cop1: That Takagi… He’s showing off, eh?

Cop2: I heard they’ve been going out to dinner more often…

Cop3: I heard an unconfirmed rumor that they’ve kissed…

--

Cop1: What!? Without my permission!?

Cop2: Hey, Shiratori! Do you know anything about this!?

Shiratori: Huh?

--

Cop2: About Takagi and Satou!!

Cop4: You’re the highest ranking official of the Satou Miwako protection squad!

Shiratori: Oh…

P4

Shiratori: I think everything is going smoothly between them. // Their feelings are mutual…

--

Shiratori: And I’m going to step down from my position of that squad too…

Cop3: Wha… // Shiratori!?

--

Cop2: What’s come over him?

Cop2: I heard a rumor that he has a girlfriend now…

--

Cop2: And she looks just like Satou-san…

Cop3: Who is it!?

Cop1: I’m not entirely sure, but I heard she’s a teacher… // They see each other and speak on the phone a lot…

--

Kobayashi: Okay! // Sure…

P5

Kobayashi: So I shouldn’t go out alone at night?

Shiratori: Right… If you can, please avoid going out after 9pm…

--

Shiratori: There have been a lot of muggings in your neighborhood…

Kobayashi: I saw that on the news this morning! / I heard the suspect is a woman…

--

Kobayashi: I’m curious as to why… // you always call me…

--

Shiratori: I was worried about you… // Am I being a bother?

--

Kobayashi: Not at all!! // Not a bother!! / I appreciate it!!

--

Shiratori: I’m glad… Please be careful…

Kobayashi: Yes! / Thank you so much!! // Phew… <beep>

--

Conan: Uhh…

P6

Conan: We’ve said that we finished cleaning up the classroom a few times now…

Kobayashi: Oh…! // Thanks! <click>

--

Mitsuhiko: Was that Inspector Shiratori by any chance?

Kobayashi: Yes… // Why?

--

Genta: It’s totally obvious!

Ayumi: You’re all red!

Ai: So?

--

Ai: Has he said it yet? // That he likes you?

Kobayashi: Huh?

P7

Kobayashi: What!? // Why!?

Ai: I guess not yet…

--

Mitsuhiko: Don’t you recognize Inspector Shiratori from anywhere?

Kobayashi: Recognize?

Ayumi: Like, if you’ve met him when you were a child!

--

Kobayashi: Now that you mention it… It doesn’t feel like it’s the first time I’ve met him… // It feels like there’s a memory somewhere deep in my heart…

--

Genta: I’ll give you a hint! At the bookstore…

Kobayashi: Bookstore?

Conan: Shh!!

--

Conan: Inspector Shiratori said that he wants to tell her directly // about the time he helped her catch the people trying to steal at the bookstore, so we have to keep quiet!

--

Kobayashi: Books? Books…?

Genta: Oh, right…

Conan: He’s probably looking for the best time to say it and surprise her…

Ayumi: It makes me anxious!

--

Kobayashi: Oh!! // Could it be…

Conan: Oh?

P8

Kobayashi: Is today the day “The 20 Mistakes Made by Kaijin 20 Mensou*” comes out!?
*Kaijin 20 Mensou: Phantom of 20 Faces; a character in a novel by Edogawa Ranpo

Conan: Oh… / Yeah…

--

Kobayashi: I forgot to preorder it so I have to buy it today…

Conan: You better hurry up then! / That bookstore you always go to is closing early today because of the fireworks…

--

Kobayashi: Are you all going too?

Genta: Yeah! // We’re meeting up at Conan’s at 6:30!

--

Kobayashi: That’s a first… // You all always go to Professor Agasa’s house and go with him.

Mitsuhiko: He’s busy helping someone move today…

--

Kobayashi: Then you’re going with Detective Mouri?

Conan: He’s going with a friend to drink and watch them… / Ran neechan is away with her karate club members…

--

Ai: We’re going by ourselves… // Is there a problem?

Kobayashi: Of couse // there’s a problem!!

P9

Ayumi: Hurry hurry!! // Kobayashi sensei!

--

Kobayashi: Sorry… // It was busy at the bookstore… <pant pant>

--

Ayumi: Oh no!

Mitsuhiko: There goes the first one!

--

Genta: Oh man! We would have made it if it was just us!

Kobayashi: Oh stop! It’s too dangerous! // There have been muggings lately, so we have to be careful…

--

Ai: Is that what Inspector Shiratori told you?

Kobayashi: Oh… // Yes…

Conan: She’s head over heels…

--

Kobayashi: I’m sure he’s worried because // I can seem helpless sometimes…

Ayumi: But…

P10

Ayumi: I think being worried about someone… // Has something to do with liking that person!

Kobayashi: Re… // Really?

--

Kobayashi: You think so?

Ayumi: Definitely!

--

Kobayashi: But… I wonder what he would be like a boyfriend? // He’s a police officer… / So I have to worry about him when he’s after a dangerous suspect… // But it might be fun to be able to hear those stories! // You know how I love mysteries… // Hey! // Where did they go!?

P11

Genta: Whoa! Look at all the shops!

Ayumi: I want cotton candy!!

Mitsuhiko: There are fishing games too!

--

Ai: Where’s sensei?

Conan: Hm? I told her we’re taking the short-cut…

--

Conan: She’s a little helpless, but… // I bet she can follow the people and the fireworks to find her way.

Kobayashi: Oh no… // Where are they?

--

Kobayashi: Oh yeah… Maybe I’ll send Inspector Kobayashi a message… // “Inspector, I have a case for you…” // “5 kids vanished in front of my eyes…” // Just kidding…

P12

??: JUST SHUT UP AND HAND IT OVER!! // I’LL KILL YOU!!

Kobayashi: Huh? // Someone’s fighting over there… // Could it be a mugging!?

--

Kobayashi: Should I call the Inspector? // But if I’m wrong, I’ll just be a pest… // I wish the kids were here at least… // What if the kids are in trouble? // I have to check it out myself…

P13

Kobayashi: What? // What? // What was that?

P14

Kobayashi: No way…

--

Ai: She’s taking a while…

Conan: Geez… / How did she get lost?

--

Conan: I’m going to go find sensei so you all stick together, okay?

Genta: Okay!

--

Kobayashi: Uh… // Are you okay?

<smudge>

Kobayashi: What?

P15

Kobayashi: Ah… <AAAAAAH!>

--

Conan: Se… // Sensei!?

--

Kobayashi: No… // way…

P16

Conan: Sensei!!

Kobayashi: Don’t come!!

Conan: What?

Kobayashi: If you come now, that person will…

--

Kobayashi: Huh?

--

Conan: That person was still here // right now… // The person… // the murderer…
