Cop Craft (コップクラフト)

It's not here either.

We may not be able to find it.

Calm down.

I know just what to do.

Yes, this is New Compton waste disposal.

Hello.

I accidentally put something really important in the garbage,

and it just got picked up.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Goodbye.

W-Wait!

Is there something else?

I told you, it's really important!

When your garbage is picked up, you lose all rights to it.

Goodbye.

Wait, I said...

Um, uh... I know!

It's important evidence.

I'm Cecil Epps, with the San-Teresa Metropolitan Police.

I'm a deputy coroner.

Um... if this evidence is lost, th-the investigation will...

Um... something really bad will happen to it! So cooperate with the police investigation!

Please, grant me mercy!

Grant me salvation!

O'Neill, I came here to ask you something!

Look at this. It's the tip you gave me.

I need to know more about the guy you said is working with the smuggler...

The patient is in pain. Stop it.

It's just a hangover.

Hey! Look at this!

Is this the guy who you saw with the smuggler?

If I tell you, will I be able to go to heaven?

In first class?

Yeah. With all the expensive wine and cognac you can drink!

I never want to drink another drop of alcohol!

Answer me, you hungover asshole!

Detective!

He's hyperventilating!

Mr. O'Neill!

Calm down, Mr. O'Neill! Everything will be fine!

Shit.

He's gone.

Kenny, do you know the girl O'Neill went on a date with a few days ago?

She may have seen the smuggler.

That would be the SM queen you just saw.

The one in the kitchen.

She had her head stuck in the fridge, right?

Did she?

My name is Cecil Epps.

Well, it looks real to me.

Not that I've never seen one.

So, what's your address, Miss Epps?

172 Caster Street.

Hunter Waste Management handles that area, so...

It's truck number 3. Right over there.

In front of the WCT.

WCT?

The waste disposal terminal.

Everything we collect is dumped in there.

Oh, no!

Wait! Stop! Stop!

Stop it! Stop it!

What?

Oh, jeez!

Tilarna?

Chief, it's me. Matoba.

About Hellmandes with the CBP...

I just got another call from the man.

So you did get in a fight with him.

Just now?

Something about you not picking up the phone, and whether or not you were at home.

Hey, are you listening, Matoba?

Which means...

Sorry, Chief! I'll call you back!

Cecil?

I'm sorry, Kei...

We need to talk about Tilarna...

What happened?

So Tilarna and Kuroi switched bodies?

Okay. Magic, huh? I believe it.

So right now it's Tilarna, or rather Kuroi, who's at my house?

--That's dangerous. --Dangerous?

I need to hurry. Cecil, I'll call you back.

Wait, Kei!

Kuroi's body, here at the dump, is...

I tried to stop her, but...

Don't worry about that.

It's Tilarna, right? So I'm sure she's fine.

Bye.

I found it. There's the cat!

Tilarna!

Smell it. The smell of latena.

Don't use your nose. Use your heart.

There it is!

It's over...

Damn it...

Give me the damn crossbow!

My life is on the line here!

This is...

Thank you, God!

Thank you, God! Thank you, God!

You can't get out of this by pretending you're crazy--

Don't touch me.

What?

You saw, didn't you?

Saw what?

I don't know what's going on here, but you're in for a world of pain!

--D-Don't hurt me! --Shut up!

--I just wanted to make some money... --I don't care!

Mercy!

No mercy!

Please don't...

You're going to die like a bug, with no dignity at all...

Curses of Beyadah upon you!

Hey, don't kill him!

That's you, right, Tilarna?

You're back?

Kei?

My life... my life...

What a mess.

Clean this up.

That weird crossbow only activated because you were careless, right?

Shut up!

What's wrong with you?

This morning I was trying my best to get your help,

and you left without figuring out a thing!

How was I supposed to know you'd swapped bodies with Kuroi?

B-But...

Having you all over me dressed like that first thing in the morning was freaking me out.

I wanted to get out of there.

It was freaking you out?

Huh?

No, nothing...

So what happened to the crossbow?

It was destroyed. That's why I was able to go back, I think.

There's no way to know now, though.

I guess that's just how it goes.

I need to get better control of myself.

And thanks to you, I didn't even get to kill that man.

If you did, it would be mur--

Wait...

Did he do something to you?

No! He definitely did not! Not a chance!

He just saw me!

Saw you?

I-It's very important...

What a pain.

What's a pain?

Aren't you mad?

He saw my butt...

No... Anyway, you should be madder!

Why would I?

Shut up! Get a little mad, you rakebye!

Wait a second.

I think I forgot something.

Don't try and change the subject--

Where are Kuroi and Cecil?

I'm sorry, Tilarna...

I couldn't help you!

Tilarna!

Tilarna, I'm sorry!

I couldn't help you!

I don't know what to say to you!

Fifteen years ago, a hyperspace gate appeared in the middle of the Pacific.

Beyond the gate lay a strange world filled with fairies and monsters.

Kariaena Island. The city of San-Teresa.

This city is Earth's "front door."

Over two million citizens from both worlds live here.

A mixture of different races and diverse cultures, haves and have-nots...

The world's newest "city of dreams."

But in the shadows of all this chaos lurked countless crimes.

Drugs. Prostitution.

Weapons smuggling.

The San-Teresa Metropolitan Police maintained

a special unit to deal with these crimes.

I think you overcooked it.

Matoba, are you insulting the Zimmer family recipe?

You're just burning it.

Put it on a tray, lower the heat, and close the grill.

You need to get that hot air flowing over it.

The meat looked so good, too.

Shut up!

Whenever you talk about food or cars, you get all obsessed...
