Panel 1:
Murao Kenji, first year, group C.
Three people tailing a male student...

Panel 2:
He's been acting suspiciously for a while now.
Him wandering around like that is getting on my nerves.

Panel 3:
There were eye-witnesses who saw him loitering in the vacinity of the girls' changing rooms.
H---mm...

Panel 4:
Switch: Yabasawa-san requested our investigation by saying "I want you to look into it before something awful happens to my body".
Bossun: Like anything awful's going to happen to her!!
She's way too self-centered!

Panel 5:
Don't move!!
SFX: Twitch

Panel 6:
Wh...what is it!?



Page 2
Panel 1:
Bubble: I'm a police officer.
The lead this time...is this guy!?
Chapter 106: Deka-Dance in a Circle
*TL's Note: He's holding up a student booklet.

Panel 2:
...

Panel 3:
Huh!? Police officer!?
Huh?
What are you people doing here!?

Panel 4:
What...you ask? What the hell does that have anything to do with you?
Why are you asking us that?

Panel 5:
I'm questioning you*. *TL's Note: He's using a word not used by ordinary people.
Huh!?
You're what!?



Page 3
Panel 1:
Questioning, you know.
Like what the police do.

Panel 2:
...

Panel 3:
Oh sorry, I shouldn't have used police jargon with ordinary people with you.
It's a habit of mine you know.

Panel 4:
Weirdo.
What's with him?
Switch.
*Type* *type*
On it.

Panel 5:
Second year, group G, number 7, Dekata Choutarou.
As one can tell by looking, he completely loves police and detective work. He is truly a maniac.
Uwaaah~~~~Feels like we've met someone like this before!!



Page 4
Panel 1:
Even since watching detective dramas as a child, he is determined to become a real one someday. In other words, a character not unlike Shinzou.
Uwah~~~Sounds like a pain~~!!

Panel 2:
Ho, you sure know a lot...Are you an informant?

Panel 4:
Who tipped you off?
What a pain in the ass!
Uwah~~This is getting really complicated--

Panel 5:
You're all from the Sket-Dan right?
Why do you know that?
You often become the subject of conversation in our club.
Club? ...What kind of club?

Panel 6:
Ho, I see you're curious after all.
Not really.
In that case, I'll tell you.
We investigate atrocious crimes in the school---
A group sort of like the police!

Panel 7:
Choutarou: Deka* Club!! *A slang word for detective.
Himeko: Ah!
Murao made a move!
Bossun: After him!



Page 5
Panel 1:
Bossun: Don't let him out of our sight.
Himeko: Understood.
Choutarou: ...
Choutarou: Wait, um...
The Deka Club...

Panel 2:
...
Ho...

Panel 3:
Kesshi*? Another jargon, meaning to tail someone
Is it kesshi?

Panel 4:
Bossun: Kesshi?
What's that!?
Himeko: I don't understand what you're saying! Stop using those kind of words!!
Switch: "Kesshi" means to tail someone.
Himeko: Why do you know that!?

Panel 5:
Bossun: So tailing, huh...Yeah, that's right.
Lately we've been requested to investigate a suspicious guy seen around here. We're trying to observe without being seen.
Choutarou: I see. So it's "Toobari"*. *Yet another jargon.
Himeko: Wha...that's enough. Stop getting in our way.

Panel 6:
Let's observe for a bit more.
If anything happens, we jump out right away. Got it?
Understood.

Panel 7:
...



Page 6
Panel 1:
I'm jealous!!!
This kind of case should come to us...!

Panel 2:
What about "jitori"*? *There he goes again...
Huh!?

Panel 3:
He means information obtained from the vicinity of the scene of crime.
I don't freakin' know!!
Why the hell are you butting in!?
Shut up! Let me help too!! I also wanted to do something like this!

Panel 4:
Choutarou: What about "ninchaku" of the "marutai"*? *Again.
Bossun: Huh?!
What!?
Switch: He means "personal description" and "tailing target".
Bossun: How do you know that!?

Panel 5:
Oh, I thought he was talking about the nunchaku maker named Marutai.
Diagram: Nunchaku made by Marutai
Like he's talking about that!



Page 7
Panel 1:
Bossun: Wait a second!
Talk normally, or else you're just in the way!!!
Bossun: We can't understand a thing you're saying! Why can't you just go away!?
Choutarou: Be quiet!

Panel 2:
If we let the culprit run away, we won't be able to use handcuffs on that person!
You're the loud one----!!!

Panel 3:
Switch: Bossun, it seems like we have no choice. I suppose this time Sket-Dan and Deka Club have to collaborate.
Bossun: Ugh...this is a pain.
But guess we don't have a choice...
Himeko: Good for you.
Our Bossun said you can join in.
Choutarou: Ooh!
Really!?

Panel 4:
...

Panel 5:
I'm the boss.
Uwah, crap! This is a pain--!!!

Panel 6:
Listen up, I'm the boss! This is case will be managed by me! And call me Deka-chou* from now on!! *Chou means leader.
Alright, alright! Now shut up!!



Page 8
Panel 1:
Switch: Marutai is Murao Kenji.
He's been wandering and looking around for a while now.
Choutarou: I see.
Good work on the report.
Bossun: When he says it, it sounds like something from "Taiyou ni Hoero"*. *A well-known Japanese detective drama series. Literally means "Cry Out to the Sun".

Panel 2:
Hm...there is no doubt.

Panel 3:
According to my many years of experience...

Panel 4:
He's probably a suspicious guy.
We all know that!!
Be quiet if you have nothing to say!!
That was worse I imagined, Deka-chou.

Panel 5:
Switch: However, I hear that there are still many people who rely on you.
Switch: In actuality, even though you have never solved a case before,
Bossun: What!
Switch: People often consult you because of your kindness.

Panel 6:
Hehe...Wow, you even know that much.
I'm impressed.

Panel 7:
Well, high school students are always worried about the other person having affiars.
I don't know if my advices are useful or not, but I talk to them all the same.



Page 9
Panel 1:
Choutarou: Lately there was this stupid one guy who came to talk to me.
He wanted me to find information on a girl that he fell in love with.
Choutarou: "You bastard!!" I yelled.
"Even if you have to stalk her, find out everything by yourself! That's what a man should do."
...Is what I said.
He was really moved when he left.
Everyone(thought): He talks too much~~~~!!

Panel 2:
Himeko(thought): I want to believe that he's a kind detective, but the image doesn't match the story!
Bossun: Ah!
Oi, look.

Panel 3:
Just like I thought.
Murao is also following someone.

Panel 4:
Bossun: that's a girl.
Choutarou: Hm?
Which one?
Himeko: Why don't you just go away!?

Panel 5:
Choutarou: Ooh.
That girl, "mengure"*. *Again.
Bossun: "Mengure"?



Page 10
Panel 1:
Bossun: That's enough!! What's "mengure"!?
Are you talking about Kinnikumen Great!? *TL's Note: It's playing with the "men gre" sounds and alluding to the team name in Kinnikuman.
Himeko: What's with that plural form?
Switch: "Mengure" means "I know her face".

Panel 2:
Have you seen her before.
Yeah.
There's no mistake.

Panel 3:
I never forget any faces that I see.

Panel 4:
She's a first-year member in my club, Mitsui Ringo.
From the same club!
So you actually know her!
What's with him...!

Panel 5:
Himeko: Ok, in that case, get to work!
Get in touch with her, Deka-chou!
Choutarou: Leave it to me, Sandals!
Himeko: Sandals?
Choutarou: Because you're wearing sandals.
Bossun: This guy's really annoying!



Page 11
Panel 1:
*Press* *press*
So it's a cellphone.
He pisses me off...

Panel 2:
Ring...
Hello.
Hey Apple*, it's me. *Ringo means apple in Japanese.
Apple...

Panel 3:
You're in the back garden right now right? What are you doing there?
Diagram: Sket-Dan, Murao, Apple
Eh? What, you ask...I'm in the middle of a search.

Panel 4:
Idiot!! Didn't you notice!? Right now there's a weird guy...
Ah!
The target is moving!

Panel 5:
Apple: I need to go!
*Hang up*
Choutarou: Ah! Oi...
Wait a second Apple!
Apple-------------!!!

Panel 6:
Apple is in danger!!
Shut up! Don't just assume things!

Panel 7:
What are you doing there!?
Eh!?



Page 12
Panel 1:
Ah!!
Tsubaki!!

Panel 2:
Tsubaki: Why are the Deka Club and the Sket-Dan together!?
Bossun: Ah!?
It doesn't really matter. We're in the middle of club activities.
Tsubaki: Club activities?

Panel 3:
Hmph, Dekata Choutarou.
Your Deka Club puts on the air of school police, but your activities are all misguided.

Panel 4:
What!!
I don't want the Student Council to say that to me!!
It's the Student Council's job to maintain the peace!!

Panel 5:
We have to keep bad behavior in check.
So today I have been following you secretly.



Page 13
Panel 1:
So what if I did that!! Being with the equally suspicious Sket-Dan would make it more and more suspicious!!!
Ehhhhhh~~~~~!!?

Panel 2:
Bossun: You! What kind of comment was that!?
Sket-Dan ain't suspicious at all!!
Tsubaki: No! Sneaking around like that was definitely.
Bossun: You were also following behind us! That too is suspicious!!!
Choutarou: Yeah, yeah!
Bossun: You shut up!!

Panel 3:
Hmph! I heard a rumor that the Deka Club, who thinks of the Student Council as an enemy, is hatching a plan to trick us.
Eh?

Panel 4:
Oi oi, what the heck? You were thinking about doing that!?
How petty of you, Deka-chou.
No...th...that's wrong! The rumor is false!

Panel 5:
Apple: Wait! What are you doing!?
Bossun: Hm?
What is it this time!?



Page 14
Panel 1:
Huh!?
Hah
Hah
Apple!

Panel 2:
Bossun: Apple!?
...The girl a moment ago!?
Choutarou: What's wrong?
Apple: "What's wrong" you say!

Panel 3:
Why is Deka-chou together with Tsubaki-san?

Panel 4:
Huh?



Page 15
Panel 1:
I was acting under Deka-chou's orders.
In order to trick the Student Council, I was to secretly follow the vice-president and find his weaknesses.

Panel 2:
Choutarou: Eeh...!?
Choutarou: Ah!! Now that you mention it...
Apple: Even though I was trying my best to go unnoticed,
Apple: Deka-chou directly approached Tsubaki-san.
What's the meaning of this?
Bossun: This guy...

Panel 3:
Why you...

Panel 4:
Fool!!! Telling your subordinate to find people's weaknesses!! What an outrage!!!
Come to the Student Council room for a bit!!
I refuse!!!

Panel 5:
Just because you're all perfect, you think you can pretend to be real leaders!? Your bodies are clean, but that doesn't mean you can complain about the rest of us cleaning our butts!
I have no idea what he's talking about!!



Page 16
Panel 1:
Oi oi, that's enough, both of you! Didn't I say I was in the middle of an investigation!?
Who are you tailing!? And who's the culprit? The Student Council will take care of it!!
No, leave it to the Deka Club!
No, Student Council!
No, Deka Club!
Shut up!!

Panel 2:
Bossun, this is not good! We lost Murao!
Ahh!

Panel 3:
Look at what you've done!
Is he still nearby?

Panel 4:
Uh...Bossun, over there...
Eh?

Panel 5:
Switch: He went once around the school, and now he's peeking at us from the other side.
Ah...Muraooo----!!!



Page 17
Panel 1:
Bossun: I don't know what's going on,
But go catch him Himeko!!
Himeko: Ahhhhh!!

Panel 2:
No, the Student council will!
No, the Deka Club will!
Shut uuuuup!!

Panel 4:
S...so, Um...I like Apple-san, so...
I followed her because I wanted to know more about her...

Panel 5:
Oi oi oi, that's just like being a stalker!
I...I know that! But...

Panel 6:
I went to Deka-chou first in order to get more information about her, and then---
Eh?



Page 18
Panel 1:
"You bastard!! Even if you have to stalk her, find out everything by yourself! That's what a man should do."...he said.

Panel 2:
...
Ah!!
You're from that time!!

Panel 3:
You crook! What about never forgetting a face that you've seen before!?
The word for crook is "gonben"*. I assume that's another one of those jargons.
Shut uuup!!

Panel 5:
So the picture would be something like this.
Diagram(from top): Tsubaki, Dekata, Sket-Dan, Murao, Apple
We...we were tailing each other...



Page 19
Panel 1:
I was trying to figure out the movements of the Deka Club.
I was acting under Deka-chou's orders.
I followed Deka-chou's advice.
In other words,

Panel 2:
Bossun: It was all your fault, Deka-chou!!!
Choutarou: N...no, wait!
Calm down!

Panel 3:
...

Panel 4:
One way or another, this case---

Panel 5:
Is closed without a clear culprit.
That's not true!!

Another annoying person has appeared...
