Gourmet Detective Goro Akechi (美食探偵 明智五郎)

"Italy, Milan"

Now, come out.

Who wants me to find them?

You?

Or you?

I've found you.

I don't want to have meat for a while.

I've been a vegetarian since that murder.

- So good! - So good!

I only make fish dishes for my bentos.

A customer was disappointed we had no fried chicken yesterday.

Well, you saw that, after all.

One of the murderers died, the other one ran away.

- And the mastermind behind them－ - Stop!

Don't say Maria's name!

- You said it yourself. - Don't make me!

Well, I don't blame you for being allergic to Maria.

How's Akechi? He must be quite depressed.

I don't know.

I failed as a detective.

He hasn't come to buy lunch since that time.

Ichigo, I'm serious.

- Yes? - Maybe it's a good opportunity.

Opportunity?

Listen, you almost got killed.

Stop getting involved in Mr Akechi's business.

Your life is more important than love.

Someday, in front of Goro Akechi,

I'll kill you.

"Edogawa Detective Office"

If you don't want that,

disappear from him and me.

The person who saved my life was Mr Akechi.

Okay, I'll give Mr Akechi 10 times the usual energy I give him!

Mr Akechi, you've accumulated this many letters!

Oh?

Mr Akechi?

Mr Akechi?

What are you here for?

Gosh! Don't scare me!

Your hair is so messy.

Where's the usual snobbish and confident Mr Akechi?

He's gone missing, unfortunately.

I was just going to ask for a search warrant.

Well... I'll ventilate the room!

"Mary Magdalene"

The weather is so good!

How are you, Mr Detective?

I wonder what the lovely Primavera

will have for her last supper.

Primavera...

The last supper.

What is the terrifying deliberate murder this airmail implies?

If you were to be killed tomorrow,

what will be the last thing you eat?

"Episode 5"

You have to be in the sun a bit.

I'm afraid I'm not the type to enjoy sunlight.

You say that, but you still came with me.

That's right!

Shopping is the best way to get refreshed.

This dress is so pretty!

I always help with your investigation,

so you can at least buy me a dress.

Why do I have to buy you a dress to refresh my mind?

While your mind is still a mess!

You're 10 times more annoying than usual today.

Ten times more annoying?

- Excuse me. - I'm sorry.

Mr Katono?

What a coincidence.

You'll buy Ichigo a dress?

Of course not! This is my daughter.

Come, Koharu. Say hello.

I'm his daughter.

Hello!

- Mr Katono, you have a daughter! - Yeah.

My parents divorced, so we meet once a month.

Say nothing uncalled for! It'll make Daddy sad.

- "Daddy"? - Got a problem?

What's the matter, Takahashi?

What did you say?

All right! I'll be there now!

Darn...

Just go. It's a case, right?

I'll be right back.

Wait at the office of this red-pickle-coloured guy!

My place isn't a nursery.

Akechi, treat her to something delicious!

I'm Ichigo Kobayashi, nice to meet you.

- Ichigou? - Ichigo.

Can't he make arrangements at work on days he sees his daughter?

That's his job and that's who he is.

Have some milk tea.

I'll use all my skills to make you the best French toast.

Not for me, I have no appetite.

There you go again.

I take minerals, water and vitamins. So I won't die in two weeks.

- I won't have any either. - You too, Koharu?

French toast is bread, milk and eggs, right?

It has loads of calories.

How about some salad, then?

Salad?

I'm allergic to prawns, you won't add any, right?

All right, I won't.

No cheese for me, please.

You two are spoiled!

Look! Ichigo's special "Cobo" salad!

Cobo salad?

A chef of a restaurant in Hollywood, Mr Cobo, came up with it.

Hence the name.

It's actually called "Cobb" Salad.

- Not bad. - Right?

- It's tasty. - It is, right?

Yes!

Ouch!

What? Oh, no! It spilled on you? I'm so sorry!

- Are you okay? Was it hot? - I'm fine.

So much has spilt!

I'm so sorry!

Koharu!

Mr Akechi!

- She left? - Long ago.

Of course, you kept her waiting so long.

You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep.

- Right? - Shut up!

Did you feel anything wrong with Koharu?

She acted like a normal girl.

I felt she was different from usual.

Maybe she has a new boyfriend?

What...

Akechi!

Koharu has a boy...

Good job.

It's a guy!

Check if she has a boyfriend! You're a detective, right?

She never says anything when I ask!

What should I do what you ask? Try someone else.

Don't do this to me, sir! Mr Akechi!

If you're too meddlesome, your daughter will hate you.

You made me get worried.

You don't know how tough it is to not be able...

to live with my daughter.

I only see her occasionally.

In the past, I could sense her growing up little by little.

But now, I can only see a digest version of it.

That's what happens?

Yeah.

When you fall in love the moment you meet a lady,

you embrace each other passionately,

you get married because she's pregnant,

you fight, get divorced, and lose the child's custody,

and you can only see your child once a month,

- then you'll understand. - I don't want to.

Somehow this is sad.

Okay, I will take the job instead of Mr Akechi.

I'll do a background check on Koharu.

Ichigou, you'll do it?

It's Ichigo.

I can secretly go see how she's doing at school.

Please do it for me.

Thank you!

"This is Ichigo"

I don't feel uncomfortable sneaking into places in disguise lately.

"Year 5 Class 1"

This is Class 1, Koharu's classroom!

There she is!

Koharu is quiet at school?

I'll give you mine.

- You like pudding, don't you? - Eh?

Oh, gosh! That's why?

Oh, I want one too.

But I gave it to Koharu.

Right?

Wow, thanks for the cute exchange.

Children, stop talking and eat your lunch.

Yes, Miss...

It made Koharu so shy.

I was the one whose heart started racing.

- Is that so? - You aren't interested at all.

But I can manage doing a background check on my own too.

I doubt it.

You have a long way to go if you want to be a detective.

After hearing what you said, I can be sure that...

she is allergic to dairy products.

She said she didn't want French toast,

and no cheese in her Cobb Salad.

No cheese for me.

And when the milk tea spilt on her,

she hurried to wash it away.

They're all dairy products.

If symptoms appear just after she touches them,

then the allergy must be quite serious.

Why did the boy give Koharu the pudding, then?

It's harassment if he knew!

What? It's bullying?

It's too early to make assumptions.

However, I guess you'll report

to her father about more than just the boys around Miss Katono.

"This is also Ichigo"
