My Family (Maifamiri / マイファミリー)

I have kidnapped again.

It's Misaki Akutsu.

If you report it to the police, I will kill Misaki.

I will call at 9 p.m.

Please have Mr. Akutsu get the money ready.

Wait a second! What the heck is this? What?

Do you hold a grudge against me?

I am very grateful to you.

We can pull off the perfect kidnapping.

We're family, after all.

SEVEN YEARS EARLIER

You can do it, Misaki!

You can do it!

Yes! Just one more! Go for it!

-Whoa! Yes! -Yay!

Misaki?

This ligament injury occurred because she's long been favoring

a small stress fracture she got before.

Unfortunately, she won't be able to continue competing seriously anymore.

Here. A lucky charm.

What's the matter?

Let her be. Let Tomoka take care of it.

Misaki! Oh, Misaki! Thank goodness!

I got so worried since you weren't answering your phone.

Thank goodness!

The second servings are ready.

Wow!

-Hey, Tomoka. Let's get some. -It's ready.

-Okay. -They're ready.

What? Where's Haruto?

They're ready, but...

-You done already? -He's working.

Sorry.

Thank you.

Really? Misaki started bouldering again?

Yes. Since her arm's gotten better, she wants to try again.

Really?

Tomoka, Misaki's going to start bouldering again.

Really? You are? You're going to compete?

Well, I'm not sure how far I can go, but I'm going to try.

That's so awesome!

Let's do it together.

I don't think it's that cool.

Do it!

Thank you so much for today. This was really refreshing.

I really had a good time too. That roast beef was incredible!

Thanks, as always.

It's nothing compared to all the help you gave me

back when I was practically raising her by myself.

He should be more helpful with your second, right?

I wouldn't be so sure. I might need your help again.

No problem. Anytime.

See you later!

See you tomorrow.

I'm going for a jog.

I might be going out too. Do you have your house key?

Sure do.

See you later.

Bye.

I have kidnapped again.

It's Misaki Akutsu.

We're home!

Hush! He might be in an online meeting.

I'm going to the bathroom.

This time, don't tell anyone except Mr. and Mrs. Akutsu about the kidnapping.

What the heck is this? What?

Do you hold a grudge against me?

I am very grateful to you.

We can pull off the perfect kidnapping.

We're family, after all.

What are you doing?

You're home?

What's that?

Work documents. I need them tomorrow, so I was putting them in the car.

That's money.

I saw it.

What's going on?

What? Mom?

Oh, come on. Why not?

Oh, Dad.

Hi. Welcome home.

Look at all the stuff we bought.

Hey. Isn't that a bit too much?

-No, it's not. -Don't you have homework? Go do it.

What? I want to try these on.

You can do that later.

Fine.

Remember your promise to always consult with me?

The kidnapper told me not to tell anyone except the Akutsus.

I'll handle it somehow.

Forget you ever saw this, Michiru.

You'll be the go-between again?

I don't have a choice.

Will you tell Mr. Akutsu about the money?

If I did that, he wouldn't trust me at all.

But, if you stay silent and keep it, you'll be treated like an accomplice.

Don't you think you should talk with the police?

I'm scared as heck too.

But saving Misaki comes first, right?

It's from Eri.

She wants to know if Misaki contacted Tomoka.

She must be looking for her.

I'll go to the Akutsus.

Haruto.

Be careful.

You too, Michiru.

Take care of Tomoka.

NEX AKUTSU

Mr. Narusawa.

Sorry, I was on another call.

What's the matter?

Oh, where's Eri?

She can't contact Misaki, so she's out looking for her.

I rushed home to help.

She went to the police station.

She's worried after what happened with Tomoka.

Mr. Narusawa?

SHICHIRIGAHAMA POLICE STATION

She was wearing a pink hoodie and black shorts...

Eri!

Oh, Mr. Narusawa.

Misaki is at our place now.

Oh, dear me! Is that right?

Oh, I'm so sorry. Sorry for causing you all this trouble.

Let's go.

Thank you.

-Thank you for coming here. -It's all right.

What did you rush off for?

I have something important to tell you two.

You think we shouldn't tell the police, right?

To make certain you get Misaki back,

I think it's best to pay the ransom without contacting the police.

They're calling at 9 p.m., right?

I'll get together as much money as I can by then.

KANAKO TATEWAKI THE ONLINE MEETING STARTED AT 7 P.M.

Sorry, it's from the office.

I'm going to step out for a bit.

Oh, the kidnapper said to carry on with life like normal

to prevent anyone from noticing.

Bye.

You're late, President Narusawa.

Sorry about that. Okay, let's start.

What did you think of the new Dungeon Table items?

Well...

PROPOSAL FOR NEW DUNGEON TABLE ITEMS

I think they're fine. I think people will want those.

What?

Well, this is a first.

You don't have any complaints? Are you sure you're taking this seriously?

Hey, now listen.

When I think something is good, I'll say it's good.

Nice work, development team.

Thank you!

Congratulations.

Well, then that's it for the item meeting. Good night, everyone.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh, can you stay for a minute, President Narusawa?

Oh, got it.

What is it?

Well, I've already told Michiru about the recipe meeting.

The police detective Mr. Katsuragi came to the office.

What did he want?

He said he wanted to know what you have been doing lately.

What's with that?

I told him you're the same as always.

I didn't tell him about your recent absence due to your affair.

I told you, that's not what happened.

Anyway, let me know if you hear anything about the kidnapping. I'm counting on you.

YOU HAVE LEFT THE MEETING

Ms. Suzuma.

Can we talk?

Sure.

Excuse me.

Did you get the money?

I asked all the bank branch managers who I'm on good terms with.

I was able to get together 200 million.

Okay. Let's see what the kidnapper asks for.

Okay.

UNKNOWN CALLER

Hello?

Akira and Eri Akutsu are with you, right?

I'm Akutsu.

I'm his wife, Eri.

You didn't call the police, right?

Of course not.

Don't tell anyone about this.

I promise! What do I have to do to get Misaki back?

Pay a ransom of one billion yen.

One billion?

Bring it to the west parking lot of Kamakura Daiichi Cemetery in 30 minutes.

We can't get 800 million in 30 minutes.

All I've got is 200 million right now.

100 million is enough for today.

You will pay 100 million a day for ten days.

Ten days?

You'll keep Misaki locked up for ten days?

Yes.

Please! I'll get the money together fast. Please return Misaki now!

I'll decide how it's done.
