Exciting! Our First Client!

I'm Detective Anna Akechi!

I'm Mikuru Kobayashi!

Oh, okay. Nice to meet you.

I gave him my business card! I feel like a detective!

That's great, Mikuru!

Sheesh!

Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm Junichi Komatsuzaki.

You said there are apples and potatoes in your bag?

Yeah! I suddenly noticed the contents had changed!

Apples, potatoes, onions, bread, and an apron.

What was in your bag originally?

My manga manuscript...

-And some clothes. -Manga manuscript?!

You're a manga artist?

No, I'm just trying to be one.

I came to show my manuscript to a publisher.

If they like it, I could become a manga artist!

No, I will be one!

Wow!

Where did you notice your manuscript was missing?

Huh?

Here?

I went for a walk to calm down before going to the publisher, and ended up here.

I then noticed that my bag felt heavy.

P-Potatoes?!

Huh? Where's my manuscript?

My manuscript?!

D-Detective Agency?

Whoa! Help! Detective!

How could the contents of my bag change?

Hmm.

Isn't the strap too short?

But I don't remember making it shorter.

I got it!

It wasn't the contents, but the whole bag that got switched!

No!

This is definitely my... huh?

It's dirty.

Did you drop it somewhere?

Now that you mention it! In front of the station!

I see...

I've found the location of another Makoto Jewel.

I'll steal it with grace.

No, I should go!

You can, like, stand down!

That's my line, baby!

There they go again.

Easy there!

Being passionate is great and all,

but you're barking up the wrong tree.

I, Goemon, will take it on!

There he is... what a pain.

Maestro Usonoir. Leave it to me.

You just want to go, don't you?

That's so totally wack!

No! It's for the newcomer!

I'll take her along and show her the ropes of being a thief!

She can watch me and learn!

He doesn't need to do all that!

Go, Goemon.

Cure Arcana Shadow!

Lie lie, sir!

Lie lie, sir!

Yeah, it was here!

Someone ran toward me and we collided and I dropped my bag!

Could it be?

When you two collided,

you happened to exchange bags,

and you took the wrong bag?

I see! That could be it!

What did that person look like?

I don't remember.

There was just someone here with that same bag!

She was looking for a man who took her bag.

Anna, your reasoning was right!

Yeah!

Where is that person now?

Not sure. She went that way.

What did she look like?

-A young woman with glasses. -Hmm, I see.

Her hair was like this.

I'm done! It was this person, right?

This person?

Yeah, that's her!

What?!

-He recognized her! -Amazing.

Let's go find her!

According to the Tome of Mirages, the clue to finding the Makoto Jewel is,

"A square object, wrapped in purple and stuffed with dreams."

Wrapped in purple? A purple cloth?

A bag.

Painting classes!

Now taking new students!

Please take one!

Painting classes!

I want to learn how to sketch faces.

Do you want me to teach you?

Hm? What's that?

I've never seen her.

-No? -Sorry.

Still no information.

This might be impossible.

It's okay! We'll find her for sure!

Yeah!

I found it! Wrapped in purple!

You can leave that bag, no, the Makoto Jewel with me!

A Makoto Jewel?

The Phantom Thieves' Guild?!

T-Thieves' guild?

We'll find the bag with the manga manuscript!

And we won't give it to you!

You're passionate! So hot you're boiling me up!

But you picked the wrong guy!

I'll take that!

Stop!

Open!

Pre-Kit Light!

I-It got big?

Yeah! A Jett-senpai invention!

We can draw what we want with the light, and...

It takes shape!

A peanut?

No, a trampoline.

I see!

We'll get your bag back!

Wait up!

What do you think? This is a thief's work.

What about the Makoto Jewel?

Lemme sit down.

Um...

They're all round.

Here's a square!

Is this it?

It's just bread.

You drew a blank.

They were talking about finding a bag that had a manga manuscript in it.

Hey!

Where are you going?

Newcomers these days!

G-Give it back!

We've got to look for the manuscript!

Gotcha.

I see now.

Whoa!

The Makoto Jewel must be in the manga manuscript.

What?

Who'll find it first?

It's on, Star Detectives!

Why would a thieves' guild want my manuscript?

We won't let them have it!

We'll find it first!

Just forget it.

I draw manga because I want to make everyone smile.

But I don't want my manga to put you detectives in danger!

We feel the same!

Detectives make people in trouble smile!

So we always gold-star solve our cases!

Leave it to us, the Star Detectives!

Detectives...

Wait for us at the agency!

Let me read your manga once we find it!

Sure!

Where is that woman?

She came this way, right?
