Insert: Jousuke was victorious in his stag beetle battle with Joubin...
Tsurugi: My dad has a "secret".
It's a "secret" that he keeps from both me, his eldest son, and his dad, Grandpa Norisuke...
Somehow, my "Dad" knows
the man that came to kill Jousuke, "Yagiyama Yotsuyu".
I'm sure of it... Because those two both know where the 'fruits' grow.
The mysterious fruit that heals the 'disease' I have that---- makes me 'turn to stone'---- when I turn 11.

Tsurugi: My dad knows where the 'fruit tree' is... but for some reason he's hiding it from his family!

Page 4:
Yasuho: Tsurugi-chan,
you're kind of, um...
touching a place you shouldn't touch, don't you think?"

Page 5:
Tsurugi: HAH!
It's just your imagination,
Big Sis Yasuho.
Yasuho: KYAAAAA [Heart]
Tsurugi: It's all in your head.
Hurry up, climb!
Climb!
That's the back door to the laundry room.
There's a security camera watching in front of the garage.... And also around the gate.
We can't get close by going outside...
but there's none inside, so he won't notice we investigated it even later on.

Page 6-7:
Yasuho: So, um, you said something about a Stand before... 'what' is that exactly?
What... am I supposed to do?
Tsurugi: Fruits are bru~~~tes!!
Well, if Big Sis wills it to search for something, I'm sure it will.
That's the kind of ability it is. You can search this car's Event Data Recorder, Big Sis!

Page 8:
Tsurugi: Find where Dad went... Where this car went since he got back to the country.
Yasuho: I saiiiid,
What exactly is a Stand? I don't even know what I'm supposed to be doing at all!
Tsurugi: What exactly is it...? Hm~~~... Well
...I guess that's because, as far as I know, yours works unconsciously.
Well... for now, let's open the Gallardo's door and try sitting in the seats.
It's quiet, but still a Gallardo!
T/N: This seems to be a joke because "gaya" is a Japanese word for background noise or the sound of a crowd talking loudly.
Yasuho: Hold on a second,
I just got sent something.
..........
Screen: Choose the one you like
(4 seconds left)
Flashlight
or
Grilled Meat Box Lunch

Page 9:
Tsurugi: What do you think that means?
Tsurugi: Um... Could you please do whatever on your cell phone later?
Do you want to do this or not?
It's important right now that you concentrate your "will" on the Gallardo's event data recorder, Big Sis!
HAH!
Could that...
Wait, try picking one! Hurry, just pick one!
Yasuho: Why?
Tsurugi: Never mind, just pick either one. Hurry! ["Hurry" big.]
[Same text is on the screen as before except it says 1 second left now.]

Page 10-11:
[Neat.]

Page 12:
Yasuho: Who are you?
Uh!
SFX: PIH
SFX: PIPI

Page 13:
Yasuho: Th...
There it is.........!
Big Sis!! Now we can figure out where the fruit tree is!

Page 14:
Joubin: Wipe that sweat off...
Don't think about it... just wipe......!
You're drenched in sweat, I'm kinda concerned.

Page 15:
Joubin: You didn't come here because you wanted a car.
And until I find 'what' it was,
you're not leaving this room.
Who are you, anyhow?
Really?
Jousuke: ............
You're the one that gave me the stag beetle as a present.
You gave me the Dorcus Titanus Palawanicus.
Joubin: Uh, no!......
Not that!
That's not what I meant.
Forget about the 'Stag Beetle Battle'.

Page 16:
Joubin: The stag beetle 'bet' was a contract... I'm giving you the Lamborghini...
But I know there's a reason you "had to come to this room" today...
I think that there was a different 'goal',
and right now
I'm thinking about 'what' that is.
Joushuu: This guy wants everything!!
Jousuke came here to steal from you!
Joubin: Joushuu! Quit butting in with bullshit comments!
Let me talk to this guy!
Jousuke: I gave the "Lamborghini key" to Tsurugi-chan.
What's really important here is I was able to end this without Joubin noticing...
Pretty soon I'll "know where the fruits are..." Really soon.

Page 17:
Jobuin: 'Who' are you?
I don't know any of your background of relations to other humans.
Who are your acquaintances? ...There's no way you don't have any from the time you were born.
Joushuu: Jousuke,
your nose is bleeding.
?
Jousuke: ..................
!!

Page 18:
Jousuke: Ugh!
Uuh?
!!
M... My nose?......
It's not...!!
'Heat' is...
Joushuu: Hey, hey.
Are you okay?
Joubin: Use......
a tissue.

Page 19:
Joushuu: HAH!
Joubin: .....
Use one.
Jousuke: No way......
There's 'heat' warming my nose?
Before when I wiped the sweat...
No... when he made me wipe it. ["made me" italics.]
My face... my forehead... my nose.

Page 20:
Jousuke: He melted the wax from inside his Rosenbergi stag beetle's body...
And he also wiped his Rosenbergi with a brush...
This nose bleed is happening because of 'heat'...
He made me carry 'heat'.
70 degrees Celsius.
It's just in one part of a blood vessel, but...
he most likely placed some 'heat' in a small part of my body.
This nose bleed happened after I wiped the sweat on my face off. ["after I wiped the swear on my face off" italics.]
That's the sort of ability Higashikata Joubin has.

Page 21:
Joubin: I said, wipe it......
So...?
Even if your nose is bleeding,
we can still continue the conversation, right?
Jousuke: I was planning to buy time so they could get to the Event Data Recorder, but...
This is really not good...
Right now, I'm...
being cornered.
Joubin: Who'd you hear about my 'liking beetles' from?

Page 22-23:
Joushuu: ?
Joubin: There should be somebody that told you some detailed information.
You came to this room in the first place because you had a plan setup.
I wanna now that person's goal!
Jousuke: The 'Dorcus Titanus Palawanicus' is something I got from you.
Joubin: No! I didn't tell you anything about my hobby of stag beetle fighting!!
Joushuu: ............
Joubin: Hurry and wipe your nose.
Why aren't you wiping it?
Why
aren't you using the tissues to wipe the blood off?
You've got quite a nose bleed,
so why...
aren't you trying to wipe it off?
C'mon, wipe it!!

Page 24:
Joushuu: Big Bro!
The stag beetle rearing room!!
It's getting getting drenched!
Joubin: What the hell happened?!!
That's not supposed to be able to happen unless the temperature goes above 75 °C!
Joushuu, get my beetles out of there before they drown!

Page 25:
Joushuu: Ah, Jousuke's gone! He ran!
That bastard ran away!!
That guy sure gets lots of lucky breaks!
Joubin: ............

Page 26:
[Yep, there's that]

Page 27:
Joushuu: What sorta malfunction is this?!
Even the specimens are getting soooaked!
Joubin: Hold on, Joushuu.
Wait!
...................

Page 28:
Joubin: Everything's seems like it's been acting strange for me since this morning...
It's really odd.
There've been way too many coincidences.
'Jousuke'...
At first glance it doesn't look like these sprinklers have anything to do with him, but I know he's involved.
I don't know how he did it, but...
And before that, the stag beetle fight..... too...
Was it a "Stand battle"?
Joushuu: That Jousuke was nothing but a thief from the beginning!!
He walked out with your Lamborghini!! He's a guy who wants women and everything he can get for himself!
Even Yasuho-chan, dammit!!
Joubin: I don't care about the Lamborghini!
But what you're saying is correct.
It looks like I've already had 'something' taken from me by 'Jousuke'.
But what do you think that was? Is there anything that was in this room... that's not here anymore?

Page 29:
Joubin: I've really got no idea.
Joushuu: Let's catch Joushuu and beat the crap out of him!!
Joubin: No, no! The other way!
Let's investigate the opposite direction to where Jousuke ran.
It's incontrovertible that there's somebody 'guiding' him.
They may have been close by for a while now.
If they are here, it's the other direction! This is important...
There's no way it could be somebody in the family, right...?
............Yeah, right...

Page 30:
Tsurugi: Th... this
event data recorder...
This... can't be......
N... No... way... it... can't...
There's no record of this car stopping anywhere.
Map: Higashikata House [Top right]
Higashikata Fruit Parlor [centered]
Morioh Station [left side]
Tsurugi: He left here...
and then he went to the Higashikata Fruit Parlor...
and just came back to the garage.
Screen: Higashikata House
Yasuho: This is the entire route record Joubin-san has since he came back to the country. He only drove 3 kilometers...
Tsurugi: No way! There must be some mistake!!
There must be some farm... or a facility in the mountains.
Anyhow, did he stop by anywhere where there's a tree?

Page 31:
Yasuho: He only drove it on roads.
And only stopped at traffic lights.
Tsurugi: Wait, he "erased" the driving record!
Yasuho: If he "erased" it, we'd know.
There's no inconsistencies with the driving distance.
And anyhow, wouldn't 'tampering' with it or 'erasing' it be to hide it from us investigating?
Your dad doesn't know we're snooping around, right?
Tsurugi: Jousuke definitely "witnessed" the 'smell' of the fruit!
Dad touched it somewhere!
He touched the fruit tree! And it happened yesterday! He definitely should've gone there with this car!
Yasuho: This car hasn't gone anywhere...
The scenery is just the road he was driving on... there's nothing here.
Tsurugi: But it should be here...... the "fruit tree"......

Page 32:
Tsurugi: Maybe it was just wishful thinking...?
No.. it definitely should be here... somewhere...
Please, Yasuho-chan, try one more time...
One more time.
Check any place this car stopped yesterday at all.
Yasuho: ............................. Okay... I'm not sure if my Stand can do it,
but I'll try one more time.
SFX: GACHAH GACHARI
SFX: GACHARI

Page 33:
SFX: GACHARI
Tsurugi: It... It's my dad...
Oh no! Did Jousuke get found out?!

Page 34:
Tsurugi: He... He's gonna see us.
Uh...
UAAAAA!
He's gonna find out I've been snooping around...............
Even though I'm his son..... Even though Dad is my dad...... why is he hiding this from me? Why... Whyyyy is he keeping the fruit a secret from me?
SFX: HAA HAA
Yasuho: It's okay.
There's...... tons of stuff we have to find.

Page 35:
Yasuho: Don't panic...
They're coming here 'in order to search'.
Jousuke hasn't been exposed... we succeeded!
From how they look, they don't seem to be coming here for anything serious!......
Joubin: .............

Page 36:
Joushuu: Big Bro!!
It doesn't look like......
he's got any comrades or anything over here, but...
could we try checking the video of the camera outside?
SFX: GUIH GUIH
Joubin: Uum......

Page 37:
Joushuu: Ah, I got it!!
Jousuke's 'goal' is to check the Lamborghini's event data recorder!
Joubin: Event data recorder?
What for?
Joushuu: Huh?
What for? Uh~~~~~
Well...
Uh... I guess just my intuition......?
Joubin: What would they be looking for on it?
I haven't got a clue... Do you think he'd wanna know if I went to a hostess club or something?
Though I wouldn't take my Lamborghini for that.
Joushuu: BUHAHAH!!
Ehehehehe
Well, he is a pervert...
Uh, anyhow, forget my idea about the event data recorder, let's just chase Jousuke out of this house!
Joubin: Mm!
I'm gonna investigate that guy a little bit on my own...
Who is he...?
I have something in mind to investigate...
No way....... But, well...

Page 38:
Joushuu: Shit.
Yasuho: BUHAAAA
SFX: HAA HAA HAA HAA
Tsurugi: This... is Granpa's minivan.
How'd you know this car's 'doors were open'?
I just happened to notice that the 'car key' was on that shelf.

Page 39:
Yasuho: Because I lit it up before with this flashlight.
[There's that same screen from before with 4 seconds left]
Yasuho: And...
I realized that there were 'security cameras' visible in the Lamborghini's event data recorder...
The security cameras on the roads he was driving on.
Tsurugi: ?
Security cameras?

Page 40:
Yasuho: You know, the cameras setup on the sides of the road. You can see them in the scenery when he's driving.
Cameras that security companies setup to see the sidewalks and entrances to buildings.
The security cameras stuck to walls and telephone polls.
Tsurugi: Yeah, I know those...... what about them?
Yasuho: The Lamborghini is driving...
but it stops at red lights...
I can see the security cameras above the sidewalks...... so I tried checking those cameras themselves.
With my Stand...
I was able to see the video records that could have gone to those cameras. ["could have gone" italics.]
The video from 4:37 PM yesterday...
Tsurugi: Th... Those?
It can check those?!
Your "Paisley Park"?!!

Page 41:
Yasuho: Look! It stopped at a red light...
Yesterday at 4:37 PM...
This car... it's Joubin-san's Lamborghini, right? Look closely!

Page 42:
Yasuho: Watch.
Watch really closely.

Page 43:
[Aw shit!]

Page 44:
[DUN DUNNN]

Page 45:
Tsurugi: Th... That's!
That's the fruit...! It... it's growing in a pot...
Yasuho: Joubin-san either 'showed it' to him... or 'handed it over' to him at this intersection...
But why here.........?
I'll bet that 'man' is dangerous...
Insert: What's his connection with Joubin...?!
