Masquerade

Damn!

I can give you a hand.

There's no way I'd let a girl do this kind of dirty job.

And it is my car after all.

Kuribayashi-sensei...

I'm mature, a gentleman,

and an engineer, so this is no problem.

Ah, Goda-kun?

This is Misaki.

She's totally not listening to me...

I'll be late.

Our car has a flat tire.

I took a detour just for them, and of course there's heavy rain...

Kuribayashi-san, do you need some help?

Don't worry.

I'm sorry for troubling you.

Please use this.

But...

It's OK, I have one more umbrella.

Please.

Thank you. This is very helpful.

She's very kind.

Did she lend this to you?

Yes.

Since she had two, she offered one to me.

What a nice lady!

Thank you.

Have a nice day!

It's a cute umbrella.

You said that it was a lady, right?

Yes.

What type of...

We should hurry up.

I know.

The Gozaidake shrine.

A Karasu-Tengu mummy.

Karasu = Crow : Tengu = long-nosed goblin

This is a shrine for a legendary Tengu.

Legendary Tengu?

However, what is that all about?

No Trespassing!

Well we can't not see the mummy after coming all the way to here.

Excuse me!

Wait!

Misaki!

Goda-kun.

Are you Professor Yukawa?

Yes.

I'm Goda from Kamitsuga police station.

Thank you for your cooperation.

What?

Since I couldn't get the Prefectural Police to cover the expense for an investigation, you're really helping me out.

Investigation expense?

We came here to see the mummy of Tengu.

What are you talking about?

What?

Misaki, didn't you explain it to them?

Professor, the truth is, we can't see the Tengu mummy right now.

What?

You're the one that asked us to come here Tono-kun!

I'm sorry.

We were on the way back from an academic conference in Ibaraki prefecture.

Tono-kun offered to show us the mummy of a Tengu since this is her hometown and it was on the way!

I'm sorry.

Professor Yukawa agreed because you're his student!!

Kuribayashi-san..

You don't have to yell at her.

No, but...

Tono-kun, what's going on?

Can you explain?

I'll explain.

This a shrine for the worship of a Karasu-Tengu.

There's a Karasu-Tengu mummy up there in the shrine.

It's true.

However, 3 weeks ago the priest of this shrine blocked the entrance to the mummy with concrete.

Why?

He wanted to protect the mummy from theft.

Protect from theft?

From who?

The Karasu-Tengu.

Karasu-Tengu?!

The Karasu-Tengu who lives on this mountain is trying to take the mummy back.

What?

That mummy may be his ancestor.

Please.

Tono-kun,

you plan on becoming a physicist, right?

Physicists shouldn't believe these kind of occult stories... I feel sick...

So, what do you want me to do?

We want you to check inside the concrete.

Why?

We want to verify if the mummy of the Karasu-Tengu is still there.

What?

Didn't the priest block this passage with concrete to protect the mummy?

The truth is, the cloth that was used to wrap the mummy was found.

It was found next to the dead body of the priest.

Dead body?

His skeleton was found 2 weeks ago.

It was right there.

What?!

Poor him...

What a creepy story!

The police concluded that it was an accident.

The priest had a bad heart.

He'd fallen unconscious several times before.

Only his skeleton was found because stray dogs and crows ate his body.

But if there's no mummy in this shrine,

the situation changes.

The priest may have been killed by the Karasu-Tengu.

Wait just a second! The Karasu-Tengu doesn't exist!

But if there's no mummy in there,

since it's sealed with concrete, no regular person could steal the mummy?

The Karasu-Tengu on this mountain can pass through walls.

Are you serious?

Everybody in this village believes that the Karasu-Tengu exists!

It's impossible.

Impossible?

What...

In 1959, America, in the mountains of Pineville West Virginia, a boy named Douglas Shelton caught a cat that had wings.

Wings?!

According to a local newspaper, the Post Herald, that cat was 75 cm tall.

The wings were 23 cm long.

And the wings had bones.

The cat had wings?

Other than cats, winged horses and winged snakes appear in stories and legends.

These creatures have cells with unique genetic information in them.

Biologists refer to them as "Chimera".

This Karasu-Tengu,

if this creature is a Chimera that mixes a Karasu with something else...

Is it very interesting?

Not really.

But I am a little bit interested.

Professor Yukawa.

Why don't you break through the concrete and check inside?

I don't want to damage the mummy.

Listen, Mr. Policeman.

It's easy for you to ask!

But since it's sealed with concrete, it's impossible to check inside.

We need special tools.

I brought them.

What?

A drill, an electromagnetic-wave radar, and an industrial endoscope.

That should do.

Galileo Episode 7, Masquerade

Is it enough?

Can you change the sensitivity to +2?

Changing to +2.

Is it there?

I don't know yet.

All right. We've drilled through the concrete.

Can you insert the CCD camera?

Yes.

Kuribayashi-san,

can you attach the rigid sleeve?

Good idea.

Tono-kun, you brought that right?

Yes.

Misaki.

Yui-chan.

Yui.

Long time no see.

Who's here now?

Thank you for the umbrella.

I'm Yukawa, a physicist.

Kuribayashi-san, this is the lady who lent us the umbrella.

Did she?

Was it you? I was in the car too.

Really?

This is Kojima Yui-san.

She's my friend.

We're childhood friends.

Earlier you really helped us out.

You're welcome.

She's a nice girl isn't she?

What's wrong?

Your clothes are wet.

What happened to your umbrella?

This is... I'm fine.

Did you find the mummy?

We're investigating right now.

Do you have something to do with the mummy too?

What?

She has more than a little to do with it.

More than what?

In fact, she's the last person to speak to the priest before he died.

What?

Where's Professor Yukawa?

Welcome!!

He will be back this evening.

Really?

What should I do?

Are you here about another weird case?

No.

Whenever you come here...

The accountant didn't accept my receipts.

These are all Professor Yukawa's expenses, and since he used too many technical terms, they couldn't understand.

I came here to ask him to make receipts that are easy to understand.

I see.

So there's even an accounting division in the police office?
