Trickster: Edogawa Ranpo "Shounen Tanteidan" yori

Panorama Slow Video Photo Square

Auto Auto

Woohoo!

And after his fourth fall of the day,

Kobayashi... is unhurt! No blood! And still not dead!

Tsk.

And that's his eighth "tsk" of the day!

Want some help?

Hurry and pull me up.

You heard the man!

Hey, why not live at Sensei's place?

Huh?

You'd never go hungry there.

This place is filthy.

Hey. Don't go in there.

And it's so unstable.

Don't touch it. Stop filming. Go back.

It's boring back there, though.

Sensei said, "I worked too hard the other day."

To all our clients, We are taking a temporary break. Please forgive our lack of prior notice.

Then he took off somewhere and hasn't been back.

Inoue's at school.

And Noro is Noro.

There's not a damn thing to do.

Except play with you!

Then think about it.

You know, me?

Oh, that? Right, right.

Are you really serious about killing me?

Sure I am! Totally serious!

I am thinking about it!

Like, um... Uh...

Holiday Stalker

What?

I told you, job requests!

The ones Sensei deleted.

I accepted six, so take care of them!

What do you think you can do without Sensei there?

I've thought it through!

I can't trust you.

What a nice view...

I'll solve them, I swear!

Based on what?!

Hey, cool it. Don't yell at me.

I yell because you keep taking matters into your own hands, idiot.

Don't worry. We'll take care of them quick.

Me and Kobayashi!

Huh?

Just you two?

Ah! You just thought we couldn't handle it, right?

You underestimate us!

Don't cause trouble.

What? So it's okay?

Just know I won't help you.

I know. You've got exams coming up, right?

So do you.

All right!

Liar.

Huh?

I came along because you said you'd found a way for me to die.

And I'm telling you, this is it.

Huh?

Remember the times you got hurt?

Both at the factory and in the hall,

it happened after you helped someone.

So if we solve a bunch of cases,

you can get hurt a bunch of times and die!

What's with the cold reaction?

That sounds so shady.

Like you can talk?

Huh?

Anyway, I've actually given this serious thought for once.

You take it seriously, too.

Our first job is to get one more of this vase!

What the hell?

I dunno. The client must really like it.

Come on, inside! Quick!

Okay, follow me.

What is this place?

You'll see soon enough.

Whoa, watch it! Cut it out!

I give! I give! I give! I'm sorry, okay?!

I told you to put in an application before coming over.

Who are you?

You don't stink like I thought you would.

Grass?

It's lemon balm and mint.

Blech. You're serving awful-smelling tea again?

You know I'm normally doing hot yoga at 2:00, right?

Don't be such a stiff.

Even a paramecium-brain like you should be able to toss it in a 3D printer.

It's apparently pretty valuable,

so I don't want to break it.

Oh, right.

Here. Fill this out.

It's our member list.

You're technically a member now, right?

Oh, his profile?

He can't.

Kobayashi doesn't know anything about himself.

Even your age?

Don't know.

Your birthplace?

Don't know.

Your birthday?

Don't care.

What? That's so tragic!

Huh?

I mean, that's the one day of the year when you get to be the star!

Don't you want everyone to fuss over you?

Not especially.

Really?

Hey, can you do something about this weirdo?

All right!

While that's printing, let's head out to our second job!

Oh, right.

Can't you sit still for a few minutes, meathead?

Wow, for real?

See? Awesome, right?

I thought you were exaggerating.

Like I'd do that.

Is this the job?

Yeah, right. No way.

Apparently they were told no shop could fix it.

Hmm, let's see...

Ah, yes, yes.

The contact here is the problem.

That's a weird color for clothes.

I like gray, personally.

What color do you like?

The color of the sky, huh? Fancy!

Are you dumb?

There, all done.

That was fast!

I added some extra functions, too.

Extra?

Opening!

H-Hey...

Oh, no need to freak out.

That's the normal reaction.

Come on! Don't add weird functions to those things!

There's nothing funny about a boomerang with a self-destruct feature!

You're not hurt, are you?

Yeah, as if.

Oh... Okay...

So, uh...

Where should we start?

Might as well let him have the wrong idea for a while.

Hanasaki

Voice Call

Hey! Don't ignore me!

Oh, Katsuda's here, too.

Shh!

Sorry, sorry.

What? You like pizza?

Probably. I've never had it before.

What do you want?

Oh, just dropped in since I was at school anyway.

You're not here to tell me you're giving up?

Huh? Not at all!
