"Long time no see, eh" "I missed you, Yoshiaki!" "Yoshiaki?" "What's going on, Shoumei!" "?" "My real name" "Written as 安倍祥明, read "Yoshiaki" (can be read Abe no Shoumei or Abe Yoshiaki)" "What...." "It was your real name all along" "Here and there it's been about 5 years huh..." "I was worried and was looking for you all the time." "But you look good, so all's fine." "Uhm...you are?" "Oh," "I'm Makihara Hideyuki." "My parents' home in Kunitachi is next to Yoshiaki's house." "We're childhood friends." "Wha~t!" "I've never thought of you as childhood friend, okay" "Hahaha, cold as always...!" "I've never thought of you as childhood friend, okay" "Hahaha, cold as always...!" "Brought up as little master, always reading books, (meaning Shoumei was a very rich kid)" "I taught you judo long time ago, you forgot that?" "Shoumei was a little master?" "Ah, his family has been, for generations..." "Hideyuki!" "Huh?" "Come here." "Why?" "What is it?" "What..." "Onmyouya-san was a little master from Kunitachi huh (Kunitachi is known for its posh, high class neighborhood, and for its many schools)" "I guessed so..." "I thought there was vibe of class somewhere" "You think so?" "His looks may be great but his insides are rotten." "But I wonder why he came out all the way to open a store in Ouji." "Who knows" "Dad, dinner's ready!" "Dad!" "Oh, sorry." "I can't leave this right now." "Go eat first." "Mom, is it okay?" "He's been all over plastic models all the time lately right" "Hmm... yeah seems he can't find a job anyway, for now there's nothing we can do." "Ok, should we eat then?" "Yeah" "Alright, let's eat." "Regarding Sawazaki Shunta of Tadano Michiko-sensei's class, seems that he's working at a store called Onmyouya, right." "Yes" "Well, he's a high school student, so part-time work should be okay." "However, that Onmyouya store is a store where they do fortune-telling for women customers, and the owner is a former host, from what I heard." "Yes." "That's right." "Could you confirm it please?" "Huh?" "Whether the job in that store is appropriate for a student?" "Would you confirm it with your own eyes please Tadano-sensei?" "Yes" "So then, it was decided that I'll be making sure of Onmyouya's business content." "If it was found out that it's a bogus fortune-telling store ripping off people," "I won't be able to approve of Shunta-kun's job." "Sorry to say." "Eh?" "I can't accept that." "If the chore boy is gone, more things I have to do." "Calling him "chore boy", you're not overworking him?" "Well, he works his employee hard." "I get it!" "Shunta-kun's always dozing off during class, that's the reason right?" "Uhm....no, that's" "In the first place, Fox-kun's totally sleeping in Sensei's class is because your class is not interesting, isn't it?" "What did you say?" "I, unlike you, conduct class properly with passion and sincerety!" "At any rate, with only white chalk, you just keep writing difficult chemical formulas on and on, right?" "conduct class properly with passion and sincerety!" "At any rate, with only white chalk, you just keep writing difficult chemical formulas on and on, right?" "How about getting creative with colors on the blackboard?" "On what grounds?" "It's all white." "Giving boring lectures, getting salary," "I think that's ripping off way more." "Shoumei stop it already!" "Sensei's classes are not boring." "Shunta-kun..." "Before I can think it's boring, I'm asleep already." "Anyway!" "I can't leave a student in the hands of a person like you." "Shunta-kun let's go!" "But..." "Are you okay?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "Hey, Yoshiaki" "What is it?" "I told you not to come again right" "Yoshiaki?" "You are?" "My homeroom teacher, Tadano Michiko-sensei." "Sensei, this person is Shoumei's childhood friend, Makihara-san." "Hello" "Eh?" "Don't tell me, Yoshiaki did something rude to you?" "This dude, talks brusquely since long time ago but he's not bad at the roots, so please forgive him." "You're so kind" "So different from that guy .......huh?" "What happened?" "Ah, nothing." "Getting compared to Yoshiaki by a woman and getting praised, that was my first time." "So, that lady over there?" "Oh, this is Miyauchi Natsuo-san." "My junior at work." "Pleased to meet you." "Seems like she's going through a tough time now, so I wonder if you'd give a consultation." "Natsuo-san, welcome to Onmyouya." "I am the proprietor of this store, Abe no Shoumei." "Please, over here." "Totally a host" "Okay then, could you allow me to hear your consultation?" "I'd like you to find me something." "My grandmother's will." "A will." "About a month ago my grandmother died because of an illness." "Deep in the mountains of Gunma, she had large lands like back of the mountain and fields." "Then, all relatives gathered for the inheritance succession." "A lawyer had been entrusted with grandma's will." "Well then," "I will be reading the will of Morita Kimiyo-sama's." "My children, the actual will is located in my most treasured possession." "Please find it." "The family member who manages to find the real will will inherit everything." "However, provided that if after I die, nobody can't find my real will by 5 p.m. on October 27th," "I will donate all of the inheritance to charity." "What an unexpected turn of events." "But with that, a chance for someone to monopolize the inheritance has come to everyone." "Since that day my relatives have gone on into full-on will search." "Move over!" "Onii-chan!" "(big brother)" "You're the youngest child so back off!" "But it hasn't been found." "The deadline is this Sunday." "Before 5 p.m. on that day, if the will is not found..." "The inheritance will be donated, and so maybe there will be a little peace in the world." "Wanting grandma's inheritance is not a laudable thing, I get that." "But my mother is the youngest child, she got told lots of things from the older 4, she collapsed from anxiety...." "If I think that one of them might grab the inheritance it's upsetting..." "Please would you come with me to Gunma and look for the will?" "It might be better to find help from a private detective rather than me?" "My uncles and the others have hired detectives." "But they couldn't find it." "Then, Makihara-san" "Please, I'm sure you can help in some way." "I politely refuse." "I should not undertake jobs that I cannot do." "The inheritance is supposed to be at least 100 million yen." "If it's found I would be able to compensate you reasonably." "Ho ho ho right" "Looking for lost articles has been the job for an Onmyouji since long time ago," "I probably could be of help." "Really?" "Alright, let us go to Gunma." "Thank you very much!" "What the heck is it with that ex-host" "I'm right here!" "Hey, did he do something to you?" "Not particularly." ""Not particularly," I dislike your very existence itself!" "By the way, why are you here too?" "No!" "Well, since I heard here is where Tadano-sensei lives." "Since I live here, so what?" "No, that's...!" "That t-shirt guy, he's falling for Michiko-sensei?" "Looks like it" "Is it alright, Gen-san?" "Your precious granddaughter taken away." "Excuse me" "Can I have the same aburaage as Sensei?" "Like, having the same thing with Sensei..." "Coming up" "Oh, thanks" "Green onions?" "Only?" "Bath." "B...b...bath?" "Genjirou-san, can I have more beer?" "Yeap" "Here you go" "Thank you" "Genjirou-san, what do you think?" "About this will?" "Well, precious possession often not be a thing." "Then, where would you hide it?" "That I have no idea..." "Taking the trouble to hide it means she wanted it to be found, right?" "Ugh..." "What's wrong?" "Uncharacteristically sighing." "Am I suitable to be a teacher I wonder?" "Huh?" "I can't do interesting lectures, students fall asleep, rather than teaching people" "I'm probably more suited to do research by myself." "Who knows..." "But you know," "Compared to when you did nothing but reasearch at the university, running around recklessly, confronting people," "I like the current you." "Grandpa" "Sensei!" "Michiko-sensei!" "On Sunday, come along to Gunma, Sensei" "You're free anyways right?" "Rude." "Even I have plans with someone during off days..." "You're watching Fox-kun's work right?" "Oh, while we're at it, I'm asking your favor to drive." "Seems you have a driver's license." "How do you..." "I asked Genjirou-san earlier." "Okay then, please." "Ah...wait...ah!" "Hah......" "I wanna have a date~!" "How much you think a lipstick is?" "Lipstick?" "Sawazaki, don't tell me you..." "Mitsui-san~" "Don't tell me you're gifting it to Mitsui-san..." "No." "My mom." "Oh mother complex." "Birthday present or something?" "Nope, wedding anniversary." "Huh?" "Why is the kid celebrating the parents' wedding anniversary?" "My dad is in-between employment, my mom goes to work, you see." "Every day she really scrapes lipstick with a brush and puts it on." "But the money..." "That's right!" "There's 100 million yen!" "Okay then, I'm leaving." "Today I'll come home in the evening." "Why me..." "Onmyouya-san, thank you very much for coming so far." "I'll go anywhere for Natsuo-san." "You just slept." "What a splendid house." "Grandpa passed away early, after everyone went away," "Grandma lives here alone while caring for vegetables and fruits." "Alone in the mountains..." "She must have been lonely." "Everyone ignored Grandma, no one came home these past several years but a month ago she collapsed from illness then hunting for the inheritance, suddenly everyone gathered." "Horrible" "I'm one of them too, so I can't say much but..." "Today is the last day, everybody is desperately looking for the will." "Natsuo-chan who are those people?" "This is Abe no Shoumei, an Onmyouji." "Well!" "This is Abe no Shoumei, an Onmyouji." "Well!" "Onmyouji she said!" "Not praying to God but getting help from an Onmyouji?" "You want money that much huh." "Well, whatever." "We'll just wait and see." "What the heck's this" "This past month my uncles and aunts have been searching nonstop..." "Even though this was Grandma's house." "Horrible" "Natsuo-san, there's no need for you to give up the inheritance for that kind of people." "Let's find it for sure!" "That's right." "II'll help out too." "That's right." "II'll help out too." "Thank you very much." "But what should we do?" "Where should we start?" "There must be something that was overlooked." "Perhaps there's some meaning behind these numbers." "You think?" "All phenomena have reason." "Prime numbers... these are all prime numbers!" "Could it be RSA encryption using prime factorization?" "I can solve this." "I can do it." "I'll prove I can solve this puzzle with science!" "(if you don't recognize this, this is a typical scene from drama "Galileo" complete with that drama's theme song)" "I feel like I've seen the scene somewhere." "Those are all lucky days right?" "(Japanese calendar)" "In the first place, there's no way a grandma over 80 would know such complicated encryption?" "Searching blindly won't make it in time." "We need to focus on the words Grandmother left behind." ""The actual will is located in my treasured possesion"" "That's what is written right?" "Yes" "The shed." "A grandma over 80 must be hiding her most treasured possession in the shed." "Let's go!" "Yes" "Nothing to do with science, isn't it." "Leave them alone." "Splitting up the search is more efficient." "Ah, right..." "Yes yes" "Get well soon" "Ah, what should I do" "What happened?" "Aki-chan just called she got food poisoning so can't possibly come for the night shift." "Raw eggs, she said." "Raw eggs." "Well..." "I'll stay." "What are you saying, Midori-san?" "You said today is your wedding anniversary, didn't you?" "It's alright, that kind of thing." "No it's not." "You have to treat it seriously." "Say, Shoumei," "If I found the will, would you give me a bonus?" "I'd like to give Mom a lipstick." "Sure." "If you found it, okay." "Really?" "Alright!" "I'm definitely gonna find it!" "It's not here." "Oh, I can get you a glass." "Huh?" "Here" "What" "I'd like to ask you something." "What's this?" "Oh, those are probably candles used on birthday cakes when we were little." "There were 5 of us so we were constantly celebrating," "They must have been used over and over." "All siblings gathering and celebrating, you got along well then, yes?" "It wasn't like that at all" "I'm having this!" "Onii-chan that's not fair!" "The birthday cake bought always had 6 strawberries on it." "5 siblings, so definitely it became a fight." "Everyone has always been greedy, we never get along." "What's wrong, Fox-kun?" "Sensei!" "Somebody!" "Help!" "Somebody!" "Please open!" "Sensei are you alright?" "Oh thank god!" "This was there." "Who did this" "Oh~" "You even called an Onmyouji" "So maybe Mother's curse befell on them?" "Yes, yes." "Before you get injured you better go home." "As adults..." "Aren't you ashamed of yourselves!" "?" "This is real action of adults, isn't it." "Greedy, shameless, telling lies with no hesitation." "That is how real adults are." "Do something Shoumei!" "You don't want to leave the will in the hands of these people, do you!" "Heh, would you do anything for them?" "Show us, the power of an Onmyouji." "I understand." "Let's ask the whereabouts of this will to the dead Kimiyo-san directly with a summon." "Summon?" "An incantation from the ancient times." "By letting the soul of the dead to possess me, we can know the intentions of the dead person." "Where to find the will you are all looking for, we could also ask that to Kimiyo-san directly." "There's no way you can do that!" "Yeah!" "If you can then do it!" "Before that I must purify my body." "Purifying body..." "I'll be going to the nearby onsen." "(onsen: hot springs)" "I'm borrowing the car." "Eh, you have a driver's license?" "O?" "Why is something like this..." "Cat food?" "That's right... the cat!" "Grandma had a cat." "The cat was the sole family to the lonely grandmother." "So the most treasured possesion is the cat!" "Now that you mention it" "I saw a cat wearing a red collar many times." "Cat-chan, come out here~" "Cat-chan" "Cat-chan come out here~" "Over here, there's cat smell." "There!" "There!" "Wait up!" "You're in the way!" "A little bit more!" "Cat-chaaan!" "Here here!" "Ouch!" "Cat-chaaan!" "Here here!" "Ouch!" "I got you!" "We did it!" "This is the real will." "Inheritance is mine..." "What's that" "Contact information for when the cat gets lost, isn't it." "Hah...." "What's this empty feeling." "By the way that Onmyouji is taking his time." "Isn't he running away?" "Hold it, you" "Get him back here!" "Quick!" "Yes!" "Why...am I...going through this..." "Welcome~" "Uh, mixed bath?" "Excuse me..." "Yayoi-san, your life was quite full of love, wasn't it?" "What are you talking about...!" "Stop it, you~" "Hey, what are you doing?" "As you see, purifying ritual." "You're just slacking off work." "Hurry we're going back." "According to these ladies here, seems in the past Kimiyo-san buried a time capsule with the children somewhere." "Huh?" "Time capsule?" "Yeah." "Then, maybe the will is inside it?" "Go back quick and tell them." "There's no time, work together and look for it." "Go..." "Got it!" "I should've taken the car back" "Time capsule?" "Ah, no time!" "That's right, we buried it under a tree somewhere..." "Let's go!" "Uh?" "Got it!" "Hey!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Eh?" "Eh?" "It's not here!" "What time capsule!" "?" "After getting all muddy like this" "It's your fault!" "Another wasted effort!" "Me?" "Get that fraud Onmyouji back here quick!" "Quick!" "Yes" "Wh..." "What are you doing in a place like this?" "I got tired of searching for the will, so I'm having some sweets." "Huh..." "Everyone is giving it their all based on your direction" "There's no more time, let's go back." "It's pointless." "Even if we go now, we won't make it." "Unbelieveable." "Half-hearted, irresponsible, feckless, always thinking "it's a pain", you do nothing on your own." "The bashing increased again." "As expected you are the lowest." "You can do whatever you want!" "Michiko-san, flowers!" "You can tell just by looking, eh" "This is my feelings!" "Ah..." "Uhm, this is..." "Ah, Grandfather." "Where is Tadano-sensei?" "If you're looking for Michiko-san, she's not here." "She went out with Onmyouya-san." "No, but he is in Gunma for work today..." "That seems to be the case." "Taking Michiko-san, a teacher, along to an Onmyouji job, don't you think it's weird?" "Taking Michiko-san, a teacher, along to an Onmyouji job, don't you think it's weird?" "Don't tell me those 2..." "Ugh!" "AH!" "Where's Shoumei?" "No way..." "Rather than depending on someone like that better we work hard on our own." "It's over..." "What the hell was this past month" "Uhm, I'm sorry for coming late." "Onmyouya-san, what have you been doing until this time?" "Summoning rituals" "I was asking Kimiyo-san who died the whereabouts of the will." "What are you saying with casually!" "The time is up!" "I bought a cake and it made me late" "You are all tired, aren't you, how about some sweets?" "Are you making fun of us!" "?" "What summoning?" "You can't do a thing!" "Going to onsen, eating sweets, in the first place you didn't have any intention to find the will, right!" "Lawyer-san" "Good afternoon." "You're all gathered here." "We get it" "None of us was able to find the will." "Mother's assets will be donated, right" "No, as I confirmed" "The will has already been discovered." "Huh?" "Who is it?" "Who found it!" "?" "Could it be, Natsuo-chan?" "No!" "Gotta be Nii-san?" "Not me" "Who!" "Who has the will!" "Confess already!" "It's me, so?" "May I have it for a moment?" "There's no doubt." "This is the real will." "Eh?" "How?" "I told you, didn't I?" "I asked Kimiyo-san." "No way!" "You couldn't actually have talked to Mom?" "Ho ho ho." "Well well" "Wh..." "What" "Kimiyo-san was terribly angry," "I thought, "could it be?"" "But to take it this far..." "Kimiyo-san the whole family and relatives, she cursed all of you, all over." "Don't say ridiculous things." "Where was that will located?" "Where was it!" "Tell us!" "Are you sure?" "Talking so roughly like that." "This will is something I found." "In other words, whom I place in charge of the will is up to me, right?" "Well then, the inheritance goes to..." "It's in Shoumei's hands?" "Well, excuse us" "My idiot brother was rude." "Um... if you could just tell use where it was" "In the cake shop." "Cake shop?" "Cake shop?" "Have you forgotten?" "That today is Kimiyo-san's birthday." "Ah..." "Now that you mention it..." "Blinded by money, possessed with desire, you forget your own precious mother's birthday, what could be said other than you're cursed?" "No one has the right to receive the inheritance." "This is how it is stated in the will." ""To you who celebrates my birthday" "I give you all of my inheritance."" "What do you mean?" "Kimiyo-san if there is someone who bought a birthday cake for her sake she would bequeath everything." "To search for that person, she entrusted the will to the confectionery shop in the village." "Kimiyo-san who for many years had been forsaken her 5 children, on her birthday today, must have decided she'd leave the inheritance to the child who take notice of her birthday, over the will." "The memory of eating birthday cakes with her children must have been a treasure to her." "In other words Kimiyo-san hid the will inside her most treasured memory." "Earlier, there was this in the time capsule." "That's right, there were 6 strawberries, going for the remaining one the 5 of use often fought." "See, divide it one mouthful each without fighting." "Yay" "Mako, I'll get it for you, kay" "You don't eat?" "I'm fine, you all just eat." "Someday you'll be adults feed me until I'm full, okay." "Yes" "Yes, eat, come on" "Why would she want to bequeath her foolish children?" "If what I'd suppose is correct," "I think Kimiyo-san left her last message in this birthday cake." "Last message?" "Please check it out." "The number of strawberries." "It would seem that the curse is broken." "How you should take this message," "I leave it up to you." "In any case, cleaning up, eh" "Yeah." "Mom loved being all clean" "I'll help out too." "Yeah" "Where should we start tidying up..." "Sleeping again" "I didn't find the will" "What's wrong?" "Actually today is my parents' anniversary." "If I found the will, I could get bonus," "I was going to buy my mom a present." "I see" "Hey, then let's buy a cake before going home!" "Teacher's treat" "Like this." "Yeah, OK" "Alright." "Kimiyo-san making it 5 strawberries, that was smart." "Right..." "Dividing it equally between everyone that was a great message." "Oh, that was because the fortune-teller told me to." "Huh?" "There were 6 strawberries, originally." "He told me to make it 5, so I did." "These are great Shimonita leeks." "It happened to be sold in the village market, so got it as souvenir." "You really had fun sightseeing, eh" "Yeah, it was a nice village." "But how did you figure out the location of the will?" "Told you right?" "I listened to Kimiyo-san's voice." "Eh, no way, Onmyouya-san, you really did?" "Kimiyo-san's voice can be heard even if not from herself right?" "This...?" "Coupon tickets to that onsen place." "This was in that house, so I thought Kimiyo-san must have frequented that place." "When I went there, sure enough her friends told me lots of things." "She was really angry, wasn't she?" "The children never came over even for a bit to see her." "That's a horrible story." "That's why she hid the will, she said." "Well, she was a mischievous person." "Probably she left one last puzzle to the children." "There, I heard that the will is hidden at the cake shop." "But bringing the will in on your own, you're not supposed to do that right?" "Of course I waited until the end." "But nobody came, so I took that will." "Excuse me" "Yes" "Can I have Morita Kimiyo-san's birthday cake?" "Ah!" "Thank goodness!" "Like, if no one came to pick it up," "I wondered what I should do." "Thank you very much." "Oh, that cake, could you make it so that it has 5 strawberries?" "Oh, sure." "That's going against the dying wish of Kimiyo-san, right?" "No one noticed her birthday in the first place, so there was no need for you to hand over the will right?" "What would happen if you just care for the feelings of a deceased person?" "The people left behind are the important ones, right?" "Because of that will, if the siblings repent, that's the best, isn't it?" "Well, that's true" "I'm sure the deceased Kimiyo-san is happy." "Because, the meaning behind that will is that she wants them not to forget important memories." "Right, Genjirou-san?" "Well, parents, y'know, will forever put their children through hardships." "Heh." "You cut off ties with your own daughter." "Shut up" "I wonder if Shunta-kun's mom would be delighted." "What's up with Shunta?" "Today is his parents' anniversary." "You don't need to worry about that family." "There you go" "Ah, looks good" "I gratefully accept this" "So good!" "Michiko, there's something there" "Eh?" "What?" "A bug?" "Hey..." "Hey, get it off me!" "Where?" "Hey you..." "Disgusting!" "Ah!" "Get it off!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Quick!" "Wait a minute." "Don't move, don't move" "You got it?" "Seriously" "Yeap got it." "Got one." "There are 2!" "?" "Come on!" "Come on seriously get it off me!" "Quick!" "Yeah yeah yea." "Huh?" "Where did it go?" "Eh?" "AAAAAHHHH!" "Shun-chan, thank you." "Yeah" "Here" "Huh?" "From me too" "Dad, this..." "When I tried auctioning off the plastic models on the internet, a few sold." "So I collected some money from that." "Midori-chan, thank you for always working hard at your job." "Thank you" "From now on, I'll try my hardest to make meals." "Let's eat then." "Yeah" "I made tea too." "Black tea, you know, black tea." "Because it's cakes." "Shun-chan, take this I made tea too." "Black tea, you know, black tea." "Because it's cakes." "Shun-chan, take this" "Because of working in that store," "I think Shunta-kun is learning valuable experience that cannot be learned in school." "What about the former host owner?" "That person..." "His words are offensive and his appearance is fishy, but," "But?" "Unexpectedly, I think he's someone trustworthy." "Uhm, from now on, I'll carry the responsibility too, like checking on his working conditions." "So could you approve of Shunta-kun's work?" "I understand." "If you insist so." "Thank you very much" "Oh, also, Saeki-sensei, these new chalks, I'd like to order them." "Here, these 7 colors." "I'm thinking of making the blackboard colorful." "Shoumei, this is for you." "Oh" "Mom told me to bring your share." "Thank you for yesterday." "In the end we decided to divide the inheritance equally." "That is great to hear." "I think that's what Grandmother wanted." "Then, it's late, but here's our gratitude." "Not only from me but from Uncle and the others too, they all want to thank Onmyouya-san." "They really insist." "I see" "Well then, gratefully I accept." "Really, thank you very much." "Thank you very much." "Don't tell me that in order to increase the fee for a successful job, you divided up the inheritance?" "Hello Oh, good afternoon" "How could I do that" "This is goodwill that is out of my expectations." "No, could be a present from the deceased Kimiyo-san." "You even take advantage of the feelings of a dead person" "As I figured, you're the lowest!" "Oh, Shoumei, it's from Makihara-san" "What is it about?" "If it's Natsuo-san, I've resolved it." "Not that" "Shuichirou-san was hospitalized again." "Hey, Yoshiaki" "Everyone is worrying about you" "It's about time you succeed the family name, how about that?" "You have no right to tell me that." "But, you..." "Here, thanks." "What's up?" "Nothing"
