Kaiketsu Jouki Tanteidan (Steam Detectives)

When you watch television, brighten up the room and watch it from a distance.

This city is constantly surrounded by white smoke.

Steam flows out from everywhere, hiding the city within a thick cloud.

No other energy source, other than coal, could be extracted from this land.

For this reason, in this world,

the advancement of steam powered engine technology took a quantum leap.

Taking cover in the white web, numerous thieves

and phantoms have come out of the woodwork.

The people, who live in the darkness and the white smoke,

have branded them disturbers of the peace.

We address this city surrounded by the smoke as... Steam City.

Steam Detectives

I’m gazing at it, I’m feeling it

I’m being watched over by your heart

No matter what's going on, the night you smile

it’s a million dollar night

The echoing footsteps carve out the rhythm of sorrow

The moment I stepped into the white, mysterious maze

Oh set up the game

Even if I’m confused by tricks and I’m frightened

it’ll probably be all right

Everything is a transient illusion, only the two of us are real

I won't give up, I won't abandon hope

I won't be broken until the end

No matter what's going on, the night you smile

it’s a million dollar night

is it all right just to leave it to him?

Well, yeah.

Tonight, once again, a heinous criminal act, which harms the citizens, has taken place.

Our ''Narutaki Detective Agency'' is vey busy.

To protect this city, with its incessant white steam...

To protect Steam City...

Go! Steam Detectives

Narutaki! Run!

Goriki!

Don't know who you are, but you're putting on quite a show.

Ma'am, maybe it's about that time.

Right. Retreat!

Yeah!

Narutaki, get back!

Narutaki!

I’m all right.

Goriki!

Goriki!

Narutaki!

Goriki!

Are you all right?

What are you doing?! Hurry and go after it!

it’s no use. This Megamaton is capable of teleportation!

This isn't a science fiction novel!

Hey!

What's that?

it disappeared...

What's that noise?!

A Megamaton just appeared in city section 24!

After destroying a building, it reportedly disappeared!

Damn! Hurry to city section 24!

Narutaki?

This noise...

An inelegant machine built with only functionality in mind...

Of course, it's not worthy to be a part of my collection.

I will show them what a Megamaton

a man falls in love with looks like!

Size, shape, et al... It's the same Megamaton that hit the bank.

I didn't think it would, but that thing really did teleport.

Like magic.

I’m envious.

I wonder how someone can do that?

You're a kid, after all.

Narutaki Detective Agency

This time, I’ve made it a strong Assam blend.

Narutaki Detective Agency

Thanks, Kawakubo.

it seems Detective Onigawara is moving forward with the investigation,

based on the hunch that the criminal's hideout

is somewhere along the extension of that line.

it’s frustrating.

it seems like Detective Onigawara's going to lord this one over us.

Hey! Why don't we do something, as well?

Then how about a date?

I feel like walking around town a bit.

You're a precocious little fella.

Hey, wait!

Hey, hey. Are you sure you're just going to walk around town?

Yeah.

Wow! When it's eventually discounted, I’m buying it!

What's the matter?

I’m starting to figure it out.

Huh? What?

I’m starting to see... how the tricks were pulled off.

Fifteen more hours...

But Steam City seems to be in a mess.

By the time we arrive, it will probably be resolved. By him.

That's right! I’m going to put an end to this!

Where the criminal's hideout is can't be determined for sure yet,

but we do have approximate directions and the

distance the Megamaton can teleport in one move.

While the next target isn't known, if something happens,

I’ve already got a simulation of how to plug all escape routes with police units going!

During the few seconds that it appears and disappears by teleportation,

we'll give it the Steam City Police Department's special bomb treatment.

Too much of that is bad for you.

I’m glad that you're so worried about me.

I’m only concerned as a nurse!

But no need to worry!

Before arresting a felon, I always take a lot of sugar to speed up my brain cells.

I feel sorry for the tea...

But that damned criminal, taunting the police.

Announcing a crime will be committed in broad daylight.

That's the thing.

Why did he give an announcement this time?

Not to mention in the middle of the day...

If we're to think of this in terms of what's the easiest target to hit,

the most likely target to hit is the Peaceful Capital Bank,

since it's the closest to the main underground waterway.

We announced an early curfew forbidding citizens of the Capital from outdoor activities.
