Atami's Police Investigators (熱海の捜査官)

"Eternal Forest School"

Wasn't it a monkey?

Ah, a monkey, huh... I don't like monkeys.

Right? They have crossed eyes.

How about a hippo?

We've given up on it being a hippo, haven't we?

I suppose. Still...

Shingutera-san, what do you think?

What are you talking about?

That is, we're wondering what type of yucky animal it was

that was dead outside our dorm this morning.

Ah, was it a crane?

Ah, a crane, huh? A crane's a good idea. That's good.

Say, wouldn't it be bad luck if it was a dead crane?

Shinonome, what do you think?

- What's the matter? - It's a person.

- What? - Eh? A person?

- You all stay put inside. - Eh?

Stay inside.

Are you okay?

What happened?

Can you hear me? Can you understand me?

Am I dead?

You're alive.

It's dangerous here.

Ah...

Is this the world after death?

Wai... Please wait!

Oi! Oi! Oi!

Oi!

Oii!

- I guess they're late, aren't they? - That's true.

Something's definitely happened.

"Eternal Forest School Entrance Ceremony"

- Ow... - 'Morning.

Remi-san, good morning.

What? What's going on?

The bus hasn't come.

What? An accident?

All right! Is the Entrance Ceremony canceled?

I don't know.

Yes... The four of them left the dorm at 7:30 to prepare for the Entrance Ceremony.

Yes... Yes...

Yes... Their cell phones are here.

Nothing has happened to them, right?

Chief, a call for you.

What? Where from?

It's from Eternal Forest School.

Oh?

- From the school? - Yes.

Keito-san, there's no need for such unnecessary things.

Yes, I'm taking the call. This is Jusaka.

Police chief, truth is a school bus from our school has gone missing.

Yes. The bus was coming from the dorm to the school.

Principal, should you take it?

Which way?

The left. Look, there's the windmill.

Ah, the right has a windmill, too.

Ah, the right then.

- The right? - Yes.

This map is confusing.

Then, let's go to the right.

Wasn't the school bus route input to its navigator?

Look, the new dorm's only been around since April, right?

That's why the bus wasn't on it's previous route, either.

Ah, so that's how it is.

Chief, can you pick up?

Have they found the bus?

Wroooooooooong...

That was long.

We found out there were 4 people on the bus.

Shinonome Mei, Sawaragi Miko,

Tsukiyo Minami and Moegi Izumi.

And the driver was Shinguji Aritomo.

Roger.

Hang on a minute.

What's that?

What's wrong? Oi!

Inuzuka, bring a blanket!

Yes!

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

Mayor! Mayor!

Mayor, any clues?

Is there a possibility they were kidnapped?

Please let us through! Let us through, let us through...!

Let us through, let us through, let us through!

It's being investigated even now.

All information is being aggregated through me.

I will hold an open conference this afternoon.

- What time will that start? - This afternoon.

Then, you're certain you pulled the parking brake?

No mistake about it. Because it was a slope at that point...

I still remember pulling the brake with this hand...

The old man you found collapsed, did he look like this?

Did he? Did he?

"Three days later, there was rapid development in the case."

"Of the 4 girls who had gone missing,"

"Shinonome Mai alone was found at a bus stop in Minami Atami-shi late at night."

She was taken unconscious to the hospital.

"However, the whereabouts of the bus and the 3 other people remained unknown."

"3 years have now passed without Shinonome recovering consciousness."

And then...

"Dialysis Room"

"Kashimura Shigeru"

- Shinonome-kun. - Shinonome-san. - Mai-chan.

Yes...

Heiwa Fansubs Presents: "Atami's Investigators"

Episode 1: "Wide-area Investigator: Hoshizaki Kenzaburo"

"The new government, in order to radically resolve wide-area criminal cases,"

"established an organization called the Wide-area Investigation Agency"

"as an organization separate from the National Police Agency."

"This organization is similar to the American FBI."

Well then, Motoko-san, we should be arriving in South Atami any time now.

Ah, the 'Yes-No' lamp?

Of course I've brought it with me. Coming without it would be ridiculous.

Yes. I'll report in if there's any activity.

That's General Mouse.

General Mouse?

Yes. General Mouse.

Hoshizaki-san. If you're going to bring along a thing like that,

you should at least put it away during a main-line case.

Even Kitajima-san has things she can't tell anyone about.

Well... I suppose.

What's that?

Ah... It's Chupa Chups-san.

Eh?!

You're shouting.

But that's...

Ah but, I understand the main outline.

- About what? - About this town's problem.

- You do? - Yes.

That old lady back there. What flavor Chupa Chups was she tasting?

If I remember... It was marble!

Yes. Marble is flavors not blended together.

It means, "two worlds which cannot be blended."

Really?

The source of this incident is of worlds which aren't mixing, isn't it?

That usual intuition of yours again?

That's how it is.

It came to me a short time ago when we went through that tunnel.

Ah! That tunnel, huh?

Anyhow, we can't turn back, now can we?

I'm the Wide-area Investigator, Kitajima.

Here likewise, this is Hoshizaki.

I'm Hoshizaki.

I'm South Atami's Chief of Police, Jusaka.

My assistants Inuzuka and Keito.

Why the bazooka?

She thinks we appear like untrustworthy helpers, doesn't she?

- Ah, that's right. - Don't go pre-judging them.

- We'll be counting on you. - Oh, playing peacemaker, huh?

You don't have to say unnecessary things.

For the time being, I'll guide you to the scene.

Any clues as to what happened to the bus?

Well, when the bus first disappeared,

the situation was primarily handled by 100 people from the prefectural police.

2 years after that, the full-time investigators were let go and,

for the time being, we've continued the investigation ourselves.

Ah, this is it.

It's strange that the bus itself wasn't found, isn't it?

From here to the coastline, and including underwater,

we searched for it by sky and sea.

Is there a possibility it was taken to some other region?

Video from the monitoring cameras where the bus would likely have passed were checked,

but nothing particular was found.

The old man who collapsed was found there?

- Yes. Inuzuka-kun, go stand over there. - Yes sir!

This is it! He collapsed right here.

And, while the bus driver was helping the old man, the bus began to move!

That's correct!

When the driver realized what was happening, the bus was right about here.

I see!

Jusaka-san, are you okay as the bus?

Yes!

Here goes!

Start!

What's the point of doing this?

You'd think that, wouldn't you?

But, experiencing the event for yourself

is an important part that you don't understand yet, do you?

Ah...

Hey, Shin'ya.

- Ah... - What's with the "ah"?

I hate being recognized with an "ah."

- Right, Soraio? - Ah, I'm sorry.

Well, never mind.

Hey, did you know?

Shinonome seems to have recovered consciousness.

- Eh? Really? - Seriously? Seriously?

- Is that right? - I heard it from my father.

Just what you'd expect of the Mayor's daughter.

That's great.

It's not great. She should have just kept on sleeping.

Why?

'Cause I hate her!
