Both: Y-yes, sir!

Mikuru: Shiraishi-kun?

Ins: Well,

Ins: let's get going.


92
Mikuru: Is it really okay to just be hanging around this one street?

Mikuru: Didn't the purse-snatchings take place in a much wider area, Shiraishi-kun?
Kou: Yeah, that's what the report said.

Kou: They also said that there wasn't any specific pattern to the crimes.
Mikuru: Ya see! Hey, Inspector!

Mikuru: Inspector, are you listening?

Ins: Yeah, yeah. That's me. I'm the Inspector.
Mikuru: Well, I just don't think anything's going to happen here, maybe...

Ins: No, it's happen.
Mikuru: Huh?


93
Ins: It should suit him perfect.
Mikuru: ?

Mikuru: Huh, you serious!?
Mikuru small: He popped up!


94
Mikuru: Inspector, permission to fire?!
Mikuru: I'll aim for his tires!

Ins: Denied.
Mikuru: !

Mikuru: Huh? But I just wanted to stop him...
Mikuru small: ...and now he's gone.

Kou: M-Mikuru, you okay!?
Mikuru: Now what! He's already gotten away!

Ins: "Now what"? Now you chase him. Good luck!

Ins: Hmm, maybe it's too hard for kids?
Ins small: I wonder.


95
Kou: Oh, shit! She's really pissed now...
Ins right: Ah, I don't know that either, sorry.
Ins left: But could you help me out and tell me which way he went? I'm an old man, so it's a bit tough for me.

Mikuru: He's heading north! He's on a 50cc Honda bike with no plates!
Kou: M-Mikuru...
Ins: Oh, nicely done. Want me to give you a special route so you can catch him?
Mikuru: Sounds fun! Let's do that! Come on, Shiraishi!

Ins: Oh, sorry. The boy's going a different way.
Kou: Uh, okay!

Ins: Head to the east as fast as you can.
Kou: Got it!

Ins: Hmph, as if I'd let you fire...


96
Mikuru: Ohhhh!
Mikuru: If I had taken out the tire, it would have been over already! Damn old man!

Ins: Hey, I can hear you. Did you get through the alley?
Mikuru: Sorry, I said it loud just so you COULD hear me!

Ins: Hey, boy. There's a dog that way, so heads up!
Kou: Hahii! He's already chasing me...

Mikuru: !

Mikuru: No way! It's a dead end!


097
Ins: Oh, right. Climb up.
Mikuru: Huh? So tall...
Mikuru small: Why's it so freakin' tall?

Ins: If you're scared to climb it, then don't worry about it.

Mikuru: I'm on my way!

Mikuru: Hah


098
Mikuru: Okay, made it.
Mikuru: Where do I go next!?

Ins: Nope, you're at the goal.
Mikuru: Huh? But our guy's no where in...


099
Mikuru: He's here.

Mikuru: F-for real?
Mikuru: I got ahead of him...?

Thief: W-what the? ...How did?

Kou: Minkei! Stop!
Thief: Wha? Minkei...?!


100
Mikuru: Securing suspect!
Thief: Pugyaa

*sfx pachi pachi = clap clap

Ins: Great work. Just bring him over here if you please.
*sfx kyu = clench

Mikuru: Hah Hah
Mikuru: You were here the whole time?


101
Mikuru: Ah Ahh... I-I
Kou: He totally got us...

Mikuru: I think I might start hating tanuki!
*Note: Tanuki are sometimes known to trick people in popular folklore


102
Det: Michi, thanks for 30 years of service. Congrats! Here's to you!
Det: Congratulations! Cheers!

Mikuru: Why am I here...?
Mikuru small: Cheers
Kou: Just try to enjoy it a little, Mikuru.
Kou: It's a celebration.

Mikuru: 30 years, huh? Look at all the detectives here.
Mikuru: This place is like South Station's hang-out.

Kou: It looks like he's not really enjoying it, but everyone really wants to congratulate him...
Kou: It's kind of nice, isn't it?
Mikuru: Hmmm. By the way, Shiraishi, you know that tanuki?

Kou: Eh? Yeah, sorta...
Bar: Hahaha, tanuki, huh? That's great.


103
Bar: You know, everyone calls him that at first.
Bar: You guys too, I see.

Mikuru: What? Did you also call him that?
Mikuru: By the way, don't tell me you're...

Bar: You've got good instincts. Yeah, he's my junior.
Mikuru: I knew it! You have that kinda look! *musical note*

Bar: Haha, I didn't have the skills to be a detective, so I retired.
Bar: He's a caring person, so even now he keeps coming around.

Bar: Most of all, he loves and protects this town.
Kou: ...
Mikuru: Seems that way, but to outsiders he's really strict.

Bar: I heard.
Bar: Seems like he made you run around alot today.
Bar: Sounds like a lesson learned.

Mikuru: If I had show out the tire, it would have been over quick.
Mikuru BG: Just look at the bruises on my arm.
Mikuru: He's old school, so he just doesn't know how it's done now.


104
Bar: Listen here, little lady. It's not just the bullet of a gun that's scary.
Bar: The sounds of a shot is terrifying.

Bar: You think a city where gunfire is a casual event is a good city?
Bar: Do you think you could relax? You think that's what protecting a city means?

Bar: It's not just this case. That guy is always walking marathons around making sure this city is safe.
Bar: No matter what happens, he's always there for you. Like how he handed out instructions to you in order to keep the city safe.
Bar: It's because he's the city's "security".

Bar: And I was forced to tag along with him as he walked around everyday.
Bar: Everyday! That's amazing, right!?
Mikuru: Uh, yeah. Wait, is that why you quit?


105
Ins: Hey, I told before, didn't I?
Ins: Young people hate lectures.

Bar: Have a seat, Michi.
Mikuru: Cheers.

Ins BG: I don't need anymore beer.
Ins: Hey, Takamine, can you give me some hot sake as usual later?

Bar: You got it. I'll get some ready.
Ins: Thanks. Western foods just don't sit right with me.

Mikuru: Japanese food at an Italian restaurant?
Ins: It's not my fault. He's the one who decided to start a Western cuisine restaurant.

Mikuru: Uhm, well, ya know, sorry... I was a little hasty... when I asked for approval to fire.
Mikuru: Well maybe I was...


106
Mikuru: That's why... I...

Ins: Ah, hey.
Mikuru: ?

Mikuru Pugya!

Mikuru: Wha
Mikuru: What'd you do that...


107
Ayuna: Hello there!

Ins: Hey honey, Ayuna. Over here!
Ayuna: Hey, dad!

Mikuru BG Ayuna...

Mikuru: Dad!?
Ins: What's with you?


108
Mikuru: Eh? So that means... he must be... Shiraishi's...
Kou: Yeah, sorry. He's my dad.

Ayuna: Aw, figures Gaku wouldn't come.
Mom: Thanks as always.
Ins: Well, he's always busy, especially since he's the director.
Mikuru: Tell me a bit quicker, will ya!
Kou: C-can't breathe...

Ayuna: Even though I wrote him about it.
Ayuna: He should have popped up for your celebration.

Ayuna: Hey, Kou. Have you heard anything from him?
Kou: Like I know anything about him.

Kou: He's a guy who can only look at us from up on his cloud.
Kou: Like he would come here...

Ayuna: That's wrong! He's not just "a guy"! He's your family, isn't he!!
Ayuna sfx = Chop Chop
Kou BG: Sorry, I got it!
Kou: That hurts! Ayuna, stop it!


109
Ins: She's a good kid.
Ins: Just a bit rude.
Kou: ... yeah.

Kou: Congratulations... Dad.
Kou: On your 30 years.

Ins: Thanks...

Ins: I can't wait until we can have some sake together, Kou.
*sfx chin = clink
Kou: Yeah.
