Taketora, who captured that unscrupulous old pervert with his outstanding intelligence, has no idea that the two female victims are actually habitual [K: or repeat] sneak photographers.

\

Girl: That working-class guy was just so stupid.
Girl: There are so many ways to get rid of the shutter clicking sound in your phone.

Girl2: Yeah, yeah!

\

Yurie: Crap! We're totally late!
sfx: flick
Ruka: Really? It's all that working-class guy's fault!

\

Ruka: Speaking of which... Yurie, don't you think that that policeman's really cool?
Ruka: He's got to be a kendo master, right?

\

SHIBATORA

Ruka: Oh! His entire body radiated such masculine hormones... [K: or something else.. like figurements... not that that's a word. The katakana should make it clear, though.]

Yurie: Come on, Ruka!
Yurie: No matter how you look at him, he looks exactly like the kiddy type you hate!

File91. Legitimate Punishment [K: or Official. And yes, i know how much this title differs from last week's preview.]

(page02)

Yurie: How can you like a policeman!?
Yurie: Most importantly... you can't forget that you yourself are a sneak photographer! [K: seems like sneak photographer is bolded]

\

Ruka: I know...
sfx: flick

Yurie: What's with that challenging tone you're using...
Yurie: Besides, didn't you say that you didn't anyone without the Three Highs?

\

Yurie: Policemen don't seem like they have a lot of education, and their wages must be pretty low, huh?
And he pretty much was a midget...

\

Ruka: Whatever! I'll take my mother's advice, but that's it! [K: take, but not follow]
Yurie: What~~~?

\

Yurie: You... you're really...

(page03)

Ayame (?): He's the worst!
Ayame: That man!
Taketora: Yeah!

\

Tamaki: But it's been happening a lot lately-
sfx: shiver
shiver

Tamaki: You feel so disgusted when you think that your photo might be looked at in that way by somebody.

\

Taketora: It's unforgivable!
Taketora: That adults, that should be examples to children, could do such a...

\

Shinjo: Huh? Saying such things...
Shinjo: Didn't you check that carefully just now?

\

Taketora: Shin... Shinjo-san.
Taketora: What are you talking about?

\

Shinjo: I'm talking about the memory card you got from the sneak photo man!

------

(page04)

Taketora: I didn't look!
That man wasn't under the jurisdiction of the youth division, so I handed the case to Director Chiba.

Shinjo: But, to make sure you should have...

Taketora: I didn't look means I didn't look!

sfx Tamaki: shiver shiver

Tamaki: It's Shinjo that wants to see it...

\

Chiba: Shibata.
sfx: don't know
Taketora: Yes, Director Chiba.

\

Shinjo: Hmph! This suckup!

\

Chiba: About that sneak photo man's memory card...
You need to take a look at the contents.

TAketora: Eh?

\

Taketora: No, I... Uhm...

\

Shinjo: Come on! Go look! This is work!
sfx: pat

Tamaki: So he himself wants to look...

------

(page05)

Chiba: This is the last image, so it's the one that you arrested him for, right?
Chiba: Look, this is them right?

\

Taketora: Ah, yes...
That's definitely them.

\

Chiba: Even though there were many sneak photos in there,
Chiba: but that man said...

\

Chiba: that almost all the photos in there
Chiba: were not taken by him.

------

(page06)

Shinjo: He just wants to go free, right?
Shinjo: He believes that if he says he bought them, we wouldn't interrogate him...

\

Chiba: He doesn't look like the lying type.
Shinjo: Eh?

\

Chiba: Look... see?
Even though there are photos set in the station stairway,

sfx: clatter [K: sfx in a photo.................... oh well xD]

Chiba: But no matter how you look at this photo, it's in a school, isn't it?

\

Chiba: And there are some scattered photos in their that look like they're from a changing room.

Guys: R... really. [K: Or 'it's... it's true.' I can't really tell from the Chinese, you can interpret it both ways]

\

Chiba: Even though we have no way of confirming which school it is,
Chiba: but the chance that these photos of the victims were taken by girls from the same school is very high.

------

(page07)

Taketora: What?
Taketora: G... girls taking sneak photos of girls?

\

Chiba: It exists!
Chiba: You can say that this is the most basic problem in sneak photography.

\

Taketora: W... why would that do that?
SHinjo: Do you have to ask? To earn money, of course!

\

Shinjo: In the changing rooms in school or in the sports grounds,
female high schools students take sneak pictures with their phones,

Shinjo: and sell these pictures on the Internet to earn some pocket money.

\

Taketora: T... they wouldn't...

\

Shinjo: To kids today, this is a small thing.
Shinjo: Actually, it's nothing to get so worked up about.

------

(page08)

Chiba: Looks like that sneak photo man saw them on online discussion boards, followed the instructions...

Chiba: and then bought these photos from somebody.

\

Chiba: Look, some of these photos are face shots.
Chiba: If we don't control this, there'll be a big problem!

\

Chiba: If somebody starts to distribute the photos he bought on the Internet,
Chiba: then we can never take it back.

\

Chiba: It would bring the person in the photo great pain once she knew about this.

\

Taketora: B... but, wait.

\

Taketora: The criminal is receiving payment,
and he's doing so by mail. [K: Sorry, this is where the trans gets a lil fuzzy because they use so many technology terms..]

Taketora: We can just track these payments to find them, can't we?

------

(page09)

Chiba: But this is really a very careful sneak photographer.
Payments are all handled through e-Wallet, and files are transferred through free email providers.

Chiba: So everything is done and dusted online...

\

Taketora: Eh? E... e-Wallet?
Taketora: What's that?

\

Shinjo: Hey, hey...
Shinjo: You can't not know this!

\

Shinjo: It's an ID number that you use to buy things online.
sfx: tik tik tik
Shinjo: Look!

\

Shinjo: As long as you fill this box with the English or the ID number of your e-Wallet you bought online or in a convenience store...

screen: Please enter the code: [] [] [] [] [
button: Clear

-

email address: [K: I think]

Once entered in... [K: don't really know]

Shinjo: you can buy things online without needing to use cash or a credit card.

\

Shinjo: But...
Shinjo: even though they're high school students, it's not that simple.

------

(page10)

Shinjo: Mmm... Almost all the internet trails seem to be coming from internet cafes in the Kouenji district.
This means we're responsible for this.

Shinjo: But it's not like there's only one internet cafe.
If we want to lock in on our target, we would probably have to spend a lot of time. The internet police in the office say that too.

\

Shinjo: And it's not some big pivotal crime,
so maybe they'd find it difficult to accept the case...

\

Shinjo: Yes.
And the criminals should probably be high school girls, so even if they're caught their punishment wouldn't be severe.

\

Taketora: W... wait! How can you say that this isn't a big crime!?
Taketora: If we think more of those girls in the photos, then it's a disturbing crime...!

\

Shinjo: What I'm saying...

\

Shinjo: is that to conduct such an exhaustive search, we would need to apply for assistance from the main branch!
sfx: grab

Shinjo: How would we, the youth division of this small district...

\

Chiba: Actually, I would like to try too, but it looks like we need to look at other ways.

sfx: click

------

(page11)

Taketora: I...

Taketora: I'll do it!

\

Chiba: ...how do you plan to handle this?

Taketora: How to handle this...
first, identify the victims...

Chiba: I see...

\

Chiba: Then I'll hand this to you. Try it!
sfx: light movement

\

Taketora: Uh... wait... *** [K: he's saying something equivalent to 'team leader'.. probably at Shinjo.]

\

------

(page12)

\

Tamaki: Shibata, you should be finishing up, huh?
sfx: don't know
Tamaki: No matter how many more you look at you won't find any...

\

Taketora: Mm...

\

Tamaki: And even if you manage to deduce which school it is,
their identities still aren't clear.

Tamaki: Unless you plan to go to that school, take this photo and ask them one by one, "Are these your panties"... would you do that?

\

------

(page13)

Tamaki: So to identify the girls in the photos would be extremely difficult...
Tamaki: Not to mention identifying those who took the photos...

Taketora: But all we can do is try!

\

Taketora: If we just leave them there, the amount of victims will increase,
Taketora: and besides, the girls who did this probably don't know how despicable their actions are.

\

Taketora: Using these sorts of methods to earn illegal money,
Taketora: if they don't realise how far astray they've become...

Taketora: I worry instead for the girls who take sneak photos.

\

Tamaki: Shibata...

------

(page14)

Taketora: If they keep on like this...
Taketora: they'll definitely be caught in something terrible!

\

Tamaki: That's true.

\

Tamaki: Okay! Then we'll try again!
Tamaki: Even if nothing pops up today, there's still tomorrow!

\

Tamaki: This is something only females can help with, right?
Just tell me everything, Shibata!

Taketora: Thank you, Ayukawa-san.

Yurie: So? Any mail, Ruka?

\

Ruka: We hooked something!
A bunch of old perverts!

Yurie: What about the e-Wallet ID?
Ruka: Wait! I'll try downloading music!

Ruka: Okay, done!

\

Ruka: It worked! It's the real thing!

Yurie: Great! Then I want [xxx]'s new song too! [K: just left out artist name because unsure of Japanese pronounciation]

Ruka: No problem! Just wait a moment. After the download I'll put it in the SD card.

\

Yurie: But we've already bought our fill of music and games with these e-Wallets~~
I really want more makeup or clothes!

Ruka: The person who taught me this way of receiving money...
Ruka: told me that doing that wasn't too appropriate, so I shouldn't do it...

\

Yurie: Hey! Ruka, who are you talking about?
small text: I've been meaning to ask for a while...

\

Ruka: Sorry, this is a secret.
Yurie: Just tell me a bit!
Otherwise I can't let it go!

\

Ruka: Then I'll just tell you the name...

\

Yurie: Sure!

\

Ruka: It's someone called "Katakirou of the Car Business"... [K: horrible translation, i'll redo this when raws come out.]

sfx: WHAT

Yurie: God! That doesn't sound too good!

\

Ruka: There's no problem! I didn't come into direct contact with him,
even though I don't know who he is, but he didn't know who I was, either.
Yurie: Oh... then that's okay.

\

Ruka: OK! The download's complete~
Ah! We have to send the sneak photos to those geezers!

Shopkeepers: Thank you for your patronage.

\

\

Fat guy: Those two girls came again.

\

Slick back: Looks like they're doing "something", aren't they?

\

FG: I thought that too. That's why I installed a program.
SB: Ah?
SB: What?

\

FG: Oh... nothing much...
FG: Just a program that tracks all their activities on the computer.

\

FG: Want to see?
sfx: fwump
SB: Ohhh! Sure! Of course I do!

(page18-19)

FG: They went on free email, and the password is...
sfx: tik tik
FG: OK! Oh! Looks like they sent something out...
small text: Let's see...
Oh oh oh! Sneak photos! Those two girls aren't as straightforward as they look!

FG: And there are many email orders too!
My God! Kids these days are incredible!

(page20)

FG: Yes!
FG: We need to punish them for this...

\

FG: And we have to do it severely too...
