Rooster Market
Does it Match?

２
Sidetext:What is Sonoko's purpose in coming to the late Autumn Rooster Market?
Sonoko: Oh!

Sonoko:They sell all types of kumades! [TN: Kumades are a type of rake which were originally used as weapons. These kumades are merely ornamental.]

Sonoko: As you would expect at a rooster market!
Ran: Busy, isn't it?
Mouri: But, what sort of kumade did you come to buy?

Mouri: Aren't kumades supposed to bring prosperity to your business or something like that?!
Ran: Eh?

3
Sonoko: Hey,　Ran's preparing for the upcoming karate tournament...
Ran: Y-yeah! It's so I can win again...
Mouri: Oh? They have that sort of benefit?
Conan: They do!

Conan: A long time ago, after His Highness Yamato Takeru won a battle, he would offer thanks on the rooster days in November at the Shrinto shrine, where he'd lean his kumade against the shrine's pine trees. That event eventually became known as the Great Rooster Festival. The marketplaces set up on those days have become known as 'rooster markets.' [TN: In Japanese olden times, calendar days were named after the 12 animals of the Chinese/Japanese zodiac. Thus a 'rooster day' would occur every 12 days and months could contain up to 3 rooster days.]

Mouri: Oh...
Conan: In addition there are theories that on the November rooster days the stars shine brightly and Buddha makes an appearance, and that the rooster markets
originated as the farmers' harvest festival.

Conan: So that's how the rakes became talismans symbolizing good fortune in battle, prosperity, and business.
Mouri: And you saw that on TV, too?

Conan: Yeah, well...
Sonoko: Ran, they have it, they have it!

Sonoko: The Ranburi Shrine's specialty...

Sonoko: Love Fortunes.
Machine Sign: Women only. Love Fortunes, 300 yen per person

Sonoko: These fortunes only appear once per year at the rooster market...They perfectly describe the ideal girl for the boy you like!
Ran: Sonoko, you're taking it too seriously! They're only fortunes!

Sonoko: Don't you know? Sawako-chan from class C got one and tried to act just how it described. She then confessed and that did the trick!
Ran: Eh, really?
Mouri: What are those two doing?
Conan: Gee...

Sonoko: Alright! We've got our fortunes!

Sonoko: Now, let's see what Kyougoku-san's ideal type is...
Ran: Shinichi's ideal type...

Ran: Come to think of it...that time...
Shinichi: There's also something I want to ask and say to you...
so please wait for me...

5
Shinichi: By my deductions, it's possible
That it's the exact same thing you want to say to me...

Ran: Do you know, Shinichi...?
That what I wanted to ask was what you thought of me?

Ran: If it's the same...
Then maybe, possibly...
Sonoko: What? I knew it...

Sonoko: Hey...
You're not opening yours, Ran?
Ran: No...
I'll do it when I get home...

Sonoko: No you don't!
Ran: Hey, wait...

Sonoko: Now let's see...
What Shinichi's ideal type is...
Ran: Hey!!

6
Sonoko: He is a nervous, old-fashioned type, so to capture his heart you need to emulate the women of old　Japan.
Loud fashions and mannish behavior are strictly forbidden!　If you attract him with gracefulness and trim femininity...the distance between you will shrink unceasingly...

Sonoko: Wow!
Ran: But, does that really match? Nervous and old fashioned?

Sonoko: Well, Shinichi-kun always notices the little details, so isn't that like the nervous type?
Ran: That's true...and he doesn't really care for things like fashion, either, so would that mean he's old fashioned?

Sonoko: You know, you just casually admitted that you like Shinichi-kun...
Ran: That's not it!! I was just...

Sonoko: Sure, sure!
Confirm it properly later...

Sonoko: Your loverboy detective's ideal type!

Sonoko: I'm just going to the restroom for a bit!
Ran: Aahh!!

7
Sonoko: Huh...

Sonoko: Hey, purse snatcher!

Sonoko: Ran!!
Catch him!!
Ran: Eh?

Ran: Oh...

SFX: Hiiiiiyaaa!!

８
Text: Mannish behavior is strictly prohibited!

Ran: Ah!

Sonoko: You should have karate'd him like usual..
Ran: Sorry...

Sonoko: Well, as long as you're not injured it's OK! There wasn't anything important in the bag anyway...

Mouri: What happened?
Sonoko: A purse snatching!

9
Sonoko: He cut the shoulder strap and stole my bag!
Ran: He was also wearing some kind of mask...

Mouri: A mask?
Ran: Yeah, a hyottoko mask! [TN: Hyottoko, a contraction of 'hi otoko' or 'fire man,' is a traditional Japanese dancer/entertainer who blows fire through a tube.]
Conan: That was on last week's news...

TV: And once again the Tori Man appears at a rooster market!!
Following his appearance at last week's Sandei Temple on the first rooster day, the Tori Man wearing his hyottoko mask appeared on the second Rooster Day yesterday at the Ranburi Temple...

TV:　Vistors to the temples are continuing to have their belongings stolen!
Furthermore, the "Tori Man," nicknamed that for his appearances at the Rooster Festivals and for his thievery, is expected to strike again..[TN: 'Tori' means both 'rooster' and 'to steal' in Japanese.]

TV: Police plan to increase their manpower and exercise vigilence in preparation for the upcoming third rooster day...
Mouri: But the shrines that have set up Rooster Markets number at around 30 just in Tokyo alone...

Mouri: In the Kantou region there are no fewer than 50...
Can they catch him?
Ran: But Sonoko was saying...

10
Ran: she wants revenge so she's also going to the next Ranburi Shrine rooster market...
Sonoko: I'm definitely going!

Mouri: Huh?　How does she know he'll show up at that shrine again?
Ran:　Well...she seemed confident about it...

Ran: Maybe he's trying to be sly and will go there again?
Conan: Well, I guess appearing again at the place where he's already appeared once would be unexpected...

Mouri: Then you go by yourselves!
I'm not going!
Ran: Eh!!
Conan: Honestly...

Conan: He's not at all excited by the Tori Man...

Sign: On the third rooster day...
Sonoko: Hey, is something the matter, Ran?

11
Sonoko: You rarely wear long skirts!
Ran: It's just a little cold today...

Ran: And look at you, you look different than usual--more grown up?
Sonoko: R-really?

Sonoko: Anyway, I'm going to get my revenge!
Ran: So you know where the Tori Man is located?

Sonoko: Not that!
I'm getting another one of those!
Ran: That's your revenge?
Conan: The love fortunes...

Sonoko: This time I'm going to get a good fortune!
Conan: That's not how fortunes work, do they?

SFX: Aaaaaaaaaaah!!

12
Woman: It's the Tori Man!!
The Tori Man came again!!
Ran: Eh?

Sonoko: Seriously?
Ran: He really showed up?

Conan: What's with the daypack...
Man: It's the Tori Man's!

Man2: He threw it at the people who came chasing after him!

Ran: Then which way did he go?
Man: He escaped towards the park...

13
Ran: Hey, Conan-kun!?

Conan: Is this the stuff that was stolen from Sonoko-neechan?

Sonoko: Yeah, it's my bag!
Conan: Then that means it wasn't a copycat criminal...

Conan: Hm?
There are blood stains on the shoulder strap...

Conan: Hey, which way did the Tori Man come running from?
Man: Over there...
Near where the people are gathered...

14
Man: Yo, hang in there!
Man2: They're calling the ambulance right now!

Conan: Hey, was he attacked by the Tori Man?
Man: Yeah...

Man: Suddenly I heard someone groaning and looked over there...
The guy with a hyottoko mask was running away from that man...

Man: So I guess he tried to steal his belongings and stabbed him for resisting...
Victim: It wasn't
the Tori...

15
Victim: It was a monkey...

Conan: A monkey?
Man1: Hey, what's he mean?
Conan: It was a monkey?
Man2: He wasn't stabbed by the Tori man?

Man1: He's saying something...
Man2: But his voice is...

Conan: Eh?

16
Conan: Nine?

Man: Hey, hang in there!!
Man2: Hey!?

Conan: Nine...
monkeys?
Sidetext: Despite the Tori Man, why "nine monkeys"?
Next chapter...strange developments in the case!!
