"Dismissed." "Wait, that kind of dismissed?" "Can I stay here?" " 500 yen a night." " I said" " it was simple." " Fumio is your long lost brother." "Saving money is tough." "Ryota, want to try?" "Kitabeppu, give me your power." "Got it!" "All right!" "Yes!" "Yes!" " Huh?" " Oh oh..." "Okay, you win the caramel." "Congrats." "It's really sweet, Ryota." "It's sweeter than most." "You didn't follow through." "Wasn't that ball important to you?" " It's fine." " Stupid." "Stupid, using up your beer money." "Did you call me stupid?" " I did." " I'm not!" "Hey, come on, feel better." " There's even a toy." "Caramel." " Okay." " Who's this?" " Nobunaga?" "Mitsunari again." "When did he steal the information?" "September 10." "He was on a trip September 10." "Mister Kindaichi was staying here." " Who's that?" " Kouta-san from room 1." "Oh, hello." " You have a bad aura." " Huh?" "A look of extreme poverty." "Huh, really?" "Don't worry about it." "Everyone here" " has that poor look." " Oh, yeah." "However, your lucky woman will be" " appearing soon." " Lucky woman?" "You don't have to listen to him." "He talks too much." "Grandma, we're home." " We're home." " Welcome back." "Lucky woman?" "500 yen." "Sure." " Here." " Exact change." "Exact change!" "Exact..." " You don't want to give up!" " You said, getting 500 yen is tough." "I know." "But you want to know something even tougher?" " What?" " Doing it everyday." "Don't forget tomorrow." " Good luck!" " Good luck." "Whenever we need some real help at meetings Chief Moai just disappears." "What?" "Does he run away on purpose?" " Maybe he has no presence." " I don't know." "Ah, Chief Moai, good morning!" "Could you hold off on the gossip" " until I'm gone?" " How long were you there?" "From the beginning." " I'm sorry." " Let's go." "Ah, Chief Moai, about Kindaichi-san." "When I last spoke with him." "He said he didn't steal the information." "Maybe it was a misunderstanding..." "You don't have to worry about it." "The real festival is the day after." "The stalls have a lot of change left at them." " You're right." " Huh?" "20 yen!" "The same number as Kitabeppu." "Hey!" " I'll take that." " It's mine!" "I found it." "Kindaichi-san, who told you about this place?" "If you didn't have my information" " you wouldn't have found the money..." " Noisy noisy." "Seven yen." "You'll never get your beer that way." "Beer beer." "No time for that now." "You want a beer that much?" "Yes!" "Beer is the best thing in the world." "Oh man, my tongue has lost its taste." "Kindaichi, be happy." "Your lucky woman." "How about a survey?" "Huh?" "Go with the lady and do a simple survey for 30 minutes." "You'll get a 500 yen book card." "Take that card to a pawn shop and turn it into money." "Should've told me earlier!" "I can do this for the month." "That's too easy." "You can't do it everyday." " I guess so." " You'll need to work." " I know." " Who's this?" "I don't know." "Excuse me." "Are you Kindaichi Fumio?" " Ah, yes." " I'm Nikaido from the Miracle Thermos accounting department." " Here, although it's just hot water." " Ah, don't worry about me." "By the way, how did you know I was here?" "Ah, I asked around your department." "And then?" "Nikaido-san." "Ah, sorry." "They didn't know." "So I asked if there were any places you frequent." "Nobunaga!" "Go!" "That's not Nobunaga!" "That's Yamanaka Shikanosuke Yukimori!" " Shikanosuke?" " Ah, no..." " I asked the shop master." " Master?" "If you were around here." "So what does the accounting department want?" "Go play over there!" "You're all interested in Nobunaga all of a sudden." " It's Shikanosuke!" " Shikanosuke?" "Ah, no...um..." "September 10." "September 10 you stayed at Osaka Town Business Hotel, right?" "September 10." "Ah, yeah I did." "I remember a taxi driver over there telling me it was beef tongue day." " That's strange." " Why?" "They think you were at the company that day." "If not, then you couldn't have been there to steal the data from the director's office." " Huh?" " You're not making up a fake business trip, right?" "That would be fraud, you know." " It's you!" " Huh?" "My lucky woman." "I was in Osaka that day!" " But it was a fake trip..." " No, you've got it wrong!" " Huh?" " Me stealing the information." "That's all fake." "How did you know" "I was in Osaka then?" " I have a hotel receipt." " Okay!" "That proves my innocence." "It's just a receipt." "It doesn't serve as hard evidence that you were in Osaka." "If you show that Osaka receipt to Moai-san over there and explain things to him..." "Are you listening to me?" "Will he listen to us, Moai-san?" "Why wouldn't he?" "I spoke to him about you before but he didn't even respond." "He seems to have trouble with putting his neck out." "That's not true." "He's really..." "Really what?" "Why are they looking for me?" "Huh?" "Is Chief Moai in?" "Hmm?" "Anyone seen Moai-san?" "Nope..." "Kindaichi-san!" "Hey, what are you doing here?" " Something." " Come on in." " Not today." " Huh?" "By the way, I'm probably coming back." "Oh really?" "It was a misunderstanding?" " We're working on it.\" " Ah." " Where's Moai-san?" " I haven't seen him all morning." " Where would he be?" " Maybe the break room?" "Or the roof." "If he's not in the office he's almost always there." "Why didn't they notice me?" "We even locked eyes." "Ah, wait a second." " Why are you here?" " Zaizen." "President, this is Kindaichi." "He was fired for stealing information." "President?" "Ah, would you hear me out?" "I didn't steal any information." "You don't know when to give up." "We have the evidence." "But, I was on a business trip to Osaka that day." "We have a hotel receipt." "If that's true, then we'll need to investigate further." "If our company loses a man of great talent over nothing, it's our loss." "A manager can't let that go by." "Thank you very much." "But, can I ask you to leave for today?" "A few too many spectators." "Thank you." "Translation:" "Rollins/hikari Timing: furransu" "Priceless" " There's no such thing!" "Oh, so you're going back to work?" "Yeah, so I won't have to do this." " You can have beer." " All you can drink everyday." "Ah, I found 50 yen!" "Hey, you guys go in the back." " Okay." " The back." "We brought you all this way." " Fumi-kun?" " Huh?" " Ah ah!" " What are you doing?" " I dropped my contact lens." " Not that!" "I haven't been able to talk to you for days!" "Ah, I lost my phone." "I wanted to talk" " but I couldn't." " Kindaichi!" "50 yen..." "Ah, ah...okay, be quiet." "Could you give me your number one more time?" "Ah, sure." " Here." " Thanks." "What are you doing here on a weekday afternoon?" " Some outside work." " In that getup?" "Yep!" "Clients nowadays don't like all the formality." "You deal with customers like this?" "That's right." "So I like" " hide out sometimes." " You got fired, right?" "That's right." "How did you know?" " How much?" " 78 yen." "So you're going back to work?" "Of course." "I'd know if I stole some information." "That's great!" "When I heard you were fired I didn't know what to do." " Haha." " I mean," "I couldn't go out with someone without a job." " Yeah." " Yep, I'm glad." "What are you looking at?" "Uh...did someone mess around with my desk?" " Huh?" " The receipt is gone." "The Osaka Town Business Hotel one." "Don't know." " Nikaido-kun." " Yes?" " You've been transferred." " Huh?" "Excuse me..." "I'll be starting here today." "My name is Nikaido Saya." "Nice to meet you." "Use any open desk." "Okay." "Ah, I'm the room monitor, Kuraichi." " Hello." " If you want to read a book there's a cafe, Atom, near the station." "You can spend hours drinking coffee there." " Huh?" " Also, there's the cafe Sedom by the side entrance." "They've got lots of manga." " But their air conditioning is broken." " The work?" " Was it Director Zaizen?" " Huh?" "The one who sent you here." "Director Zaizen?" "I've got 13 years of the company history to compile." "Huh?" "It's an endurance contest." "With the company." " Chief Moai." " Ah, you're with accounting." "I was transferred today." " To the history compiling room." " The history compiling room?" "Ah, I looked into Kindaichi-san's Osaka trip that we talked about" " the other day." " The fake trip?" "Ah, it wasn't." "But, the proof of that, the receipt" " was taken this morning." " Taken!" "?" "Besides that, I was with Kindaichi-san yesterday and now" "I've been transferred." "Don't you think that's strange?" " It's gone that far..." " Do you know something?" "No, nothing." "See you." " Hey." " Yes?" "Do you know where Kindaichi is now?" " That's wrong." " Huh?" "There's a bunch of edible plants over there." "So you got mixed up in it too?" " Huh?" " The receipt and your transfer, just now because you're involved with me?" "Definitely." "Who are you?" "They don't want you back at the company." "That's why the receipt is gone and they put me somewhere out of the way." " Why would they do that?" " I don't know." "But definitely someone at the company really hates you." "What did you do?" "What did I do?" "(Free bag of bread crusts." "One per person.)" " Okay." " You bought it?" "(Free bag of bread crusts." "One per person.)" " It's free." " Huh?" "(Free bag of bread crusts." "One per person.)" " But you got two." " I negotiated." "(Free bag of bread crusts." "One per person.)" " But you got two." " I negotiated." " Oh." " Huh?" "What?" "Ah, this is heavy." "Can you take something?" " Oh, which?" " The bread." "Okay." "Ah, sorry." "I was thinking." "Maybe Chief Moai knows something?" "Why you were really fired." " Why?" " When I told him" "I was transferred, he said "it's gone that far."" "I think he knows something." "Maybe he's involved in all this too." "Drinking with Moai-san." "When the bill comes he just disappears." "When we're with bosses he'll get so many pricey things." "But if it's us and regular employees, we just get edamame." "And he's kind of boring." "Talks about the same things when he's drunk." "And I think his wife and daughter push him around at home." " Can't you see that?" " Ah, yeah," "I definitely can." "But, I think that he'll do the right thing." "Moai-san is definitely a guy we can trust." " Hey." " Hey, Kindaichi wow!" "We can barbecue with all this!" " Barbecue with this?" " Barbecue?" " You're going to barbecue?" " Who are you?" " Mister Oshima from Room 2." " Ah," "I'm so hungry." "I haven't eaten in awhile." " You saved me!" " Hey?" "You want to barbecue this?" " Excuse me." " Haha, barbecue!" " Here." " Ah, thanks." " How much today?" " 62 yen." " If we use the 78 yen from yesterday..." " 140 yen." " Wow, you're quick." " Yep." " I've always been an accountant." " Just 70 more yen..." "Oh, something you want to buy?" " Looks good.\" " Not really." "Man, a beer would be great now." "Don't get all fancy now." " Let's eat." " You eat too." "Ah, I'm okay." " This is great." " Yep, it is." " Yeah." " Hey, being poor" " is actually kind of fun." " Haha, yeah." "That's the idea I hate the most." "It's only fun because you're curious." "What do you know about being poor?" "I know enough." "Plenty." "Do you really think that's good?" "Yeah, it's pretty good." "Better than marbled beef grilled on charcoal?" "Well, that's..." "And this apartment?" "Good enough for you?" "Well, better than nothing..." "Isn't it drafty?" "Wouldn't you want heated floors?" " I do." " Don't you want to sleep on a comfortable bed?" " I do." " See." "No matter what you think, having money means happiness." "Everyone thinks so." "Rich people are strong." " Poor people are weak." " You've had some troubles too I see." " Huh?" " But this" " barbecue is happiness enough for me." " Yeah." "Ah, I'll tell you my best secret." "They don't usually check people at hotel parties." "If you dress up for the part adults can get in for free." "All you can eat and drink!" "Why are you here?" "And that woman, she's my employee I believe." "Were you invited?" "Well, no one stopped us..." "We have rules in this world." "You guys cannot come in here." "You need status to be able to come in." "You guys are not allowed to be here." "I'm sorry." "Oh and also..." "I investigated the case again." "I'm sorry but you were wrong." " But..." " Please leave." "You dropped this." "I'm sorry everyone." "Let us continue." "I can't believe it!" "This is so frustrating!" "I was so close to being able to drink some beer..." "That's not the problem here!" "If it wasn't for the situation I wouldn't have held back my words!" "But it's exactly like what you said." "Eh?" "You have no power...if you're poor." "Why?" "I didn't do anything." "If you didn't do anything then you wouldn't be in this situation." "That's the day that he stole and leaked the information." "That means that he wasn't on a business trip, but that he was actually here, right?" "When I last spoke with him." "He said he didn't steal the information." "We can't have anyone finding out... about this matter." " I looked into Kindaichi-san's Osaka trip." " It's not uncommon for you, the boss to be punished too for something like this, you know." "I was with Kindaichi-san yesterday and now I've been transferred." "Don't you think that's strange?" "But, I think that he'll do the right thing." "Oh yeah." "They said Kindaichi-san came by the office." "He came by with that girl named Nikaido." "He did?" "Jeez..." "Don't waste your time saying something like that..." " and get to work!" " Yes!" "Oh, the telephone is ringing." "It's been 3 weeks." "Yes, this is the history compiling room." "I want to talk to Kindaichi." " Welcome back!" " What have you guys been up to?" " How much did you make today?" " Today?" " 524 yen." " You just made 500 yen again!" "It can't be helped." "I'll give you this." " Why?" " You've wanted to drink this... ever since the festival, didn't you?" "And you didn't get any at the party yesterday." " Take it!" " For real?" " Kindaichi-san!" " You guys!" " Kindaichi-san!" " What is it?" " Please come with me." " Why?" "Chief Moai said he had something important to say to you." " Moai-san?" " I knew it, he did know something." " Let's go!" " But..." "Is it really okay to get Moai-san involved too?" "What are you saying!" "He's the one who told us to go." "And anyways, please think of me too." "I'm already involved." "Well then, Kanta..." "Keep it cold and bring this home for me?" "I'll enjoy it once I get home." " Hurry!" " Okay!" "You guys, where did you get that beer from?" "Isn't it that?" " Yes." " Miss, is Kindaichi there?" " One second." " What is it?" " Hello?" " Kindaichi." "This guy came and took us away with him." " To where?" " Into the convenience store." "He said that we were shoplifting." " Shoplifting?" "!" " And Grandma isn't here either..." " What should we do?" " Which convenience store are you guys at?" "Where we were before, at the Five Mart." "I got it." "I'll be right there so wait for me, okay?" "What?" "Hey!" "Wait a minute!" "What about Moai-san?" " I'm still here..." " Oh, sorry." "Welcome." " Ryota." "Where is Kanta?" " In here!" " Kanta!" " Kindaichi!" "W...who may you be?" "Ryota." " I guess I'm their guardian." " Show me your ID." " I don't have one at the moment." " Just an ID, it could just be one from work." "Sorry but I'm still looking for a job right now." "Ah, so you are unemployed." "I heard that you said these guys here shoplifted?" " They took this can of beer." " I told you, we paid for it!" "There's no history of that at the cashier." "Children can't buy alcohol so we just left the money there and got out!" "You think I'll believe that?" "!" "Idiot." "Well, this can of beer is also damaged now." " Can you pay for it?" "It's 210 yen." " 210 yen?" "If we use the 78 yen from yesterday..." " 140 yen." " Just 70 yen more to go!" "Ah, 210 yen." "But I told you, we did pay for it!" "There's no way you guys did." "Kids like them always do things like that..." "Taking the leftover lunchboxes...and putting their hands into the vending store at the front to look for coins..." " Like I said..." " If you can't pay up then..." "Don't think I'll forgive you guys just cause you are poor!" "I'll do something about this!" "Right?" "Just because he is poor, you can't trust him?" "Of course." "Like I'm going to believe a poor person!" "What?" "You think he's lying because he is poor?" "Yeah." "Because he is poor." " Obviously..." " Obviously that's not how it works." " Just because he is poor, he has to steal?" " Isn't that right?" "You've got to be kidding me!" "Who decided that poor people have to steal?" "These kids found the money that other people overlook everyday, and had finally scrapped together 210 yen." "They wanted to buy a can of beer for someone important to them." "It is bad how they just left the money at the front because they aren't legally able to buy alcohol but buying a can of beer for someone you care about... with your precious money..." "Just because they are poor... doesn't mean they are thieves!" "Don't you think something is wrong with that?" "!" "Tokugawa Ieyasu had said something like this once," ""If you are to understand the true feelings of another person, then be honest with yourself and... get a good look at the bottom of the other persons heart."" " What are you saying?" " Ieyasu?" "And anyways, are all your sums matching up right?" "!" "Is it?" "!" " Well... of course it is!" "Then let me see it." " Eh?" "Eh?" "What?" " Where are you going?" " I'm going to borrow the cash register." " Cash register?" "You can't do that..." "Why the cash register?" "Wait wa-..." "Wait over there." "I'll finish this in one minute." "One minute?" "!" "So fast." "There is 182,016 yen in here." "And it says that the amount transacted was 181,016 yen." " 181,806 yen." " What about the difference?" "Umm..." " It's 210 yen." " 210 yen." "What do you mean by this?" "Um..." " "They paid the money..."" " They paid the money..." " "at this cash register here." - at this cash register here." " "There was an extra 210 yen in there."" " There was an extra 210 yen in there." ""I'm sorry for blaming you guys without even double checking it for myself."" "Good job." "Well then...time to enjoy." "So good!" "I feel new again!" "This is the best in the world...no, the universe!" " So dramatic, Kindaichi!" " No, seriously." "The best beer I have ever had!" "Ah, thinking back I've never drank this type of beer before." "There are benefits to being poor too." "You can't drink this beer even if you have money." "Look." "It's good." " You're right!" "It's so good." " I told you so." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Why are you drinking so much of it!" " Sorry." " You drank so much of it." " No I didn't." " What is this?" "Hey Kindaichi." "Did you take care of that other thing?" "What?" "What other thing?" "Oh no!" "We totally missed when... we were supposed to meet up!" "Kanta." "Ryota." "Thank you!" "Yeah!" "Damn." "Welcome." "Sorry." "Was there someone here with a very weak presence?" "Ah yes!" "He was here until a while ago..." "I will go and see Moai-san tomorrow morning." "Keep your night free for tomorrow." "You don't have to say that, I have nothing to do anyways." "Just how long are you going to hold that for?" "It's the best in the universe." "I can't throw it away." "Um, is Chief Moai here?" "Ah no, I haven't seen him." "Thank you." "I have something to say to you." " Can you come with me?" " Yes." "We know that you know something." "We're not going to blame you." "Instead, we wanted to offer you a promotion." "This will be your last chance to become head of the headquarters." "But of course, only if that's what you want." "You said that Zaizen switched me to another department the other day, right?" "Director Zaizen is involved in all of... the mysterious things going on in this company." " Thank you." " Endure it." "Endure it." "Chief Moai, I am really sorry about yesterday." "Um, I brought Kindaichi-san with me today." "No, forget it." "Please wait." "You said it yesterday." " You said you had something important to say." " Forget that." "Did the people up top say something to you?" "Chief Moai!" "I am no longer... a chief." "I'm not a chief anymore." "Hurry up." "What are you doing in someone else's room?" "Nothing." " Ah, Miss." " What are you doing?" "You're holding so much stuff." "Will I be able to stay here too?" " Why?" " I got fired too." "What?" "!" "They also kicked me out of the company dorms." "And also, I lost everything because of this." "So..." ""Mina Fisheries Gone Bankrupt, Stocks Crash."" "Well, come in." "Have some breakfast." " In any case, have some breakfast first." " Okay." "I'm back again." "Even though I worked so hard... to get myself out of this kind of lifestyle." "Things have been hard for you too." " Eat up." " Thank you." "Is it good?" "It's delicious." "It's frustrating." "Could it be..." "I'm just meant to be poor?" "Delicious." "Yes, it's delicious." "Thanks for the food." "President!" " You again?" " About the other time, I'm sorry for... trespassing into the party area." "You came all this way just to say that?" "About Nikaido Aya from the historical compiling department..." " I heard she was fired." " Seems like it." "She was only trying to prove my innocence." " And?" " So..." "Can you repeal her dismissal from the company?" "You get punished if you are caught doing something bad." "Those are the company's rules." "I wonder if she really did something bad?" "The both of us." "Excuse me." "There's no way." "I won't give it to you." "What are you doing?" "Kindaichi." "Where have you been?" " Nowhere really." " What is it?" "Were you guys eating ramen together while I wasn't here?" "No." "I mean, Miss said she would" " give us something." " Why?" "To exchange for this." "You can't eat ramen with this." "No, my set would be complete with this." "The Military Commanders of the Warring States series." "With Yamanaka Shikanosuke Yukimori." "Shikanosuke?" "Who's that?" "What?" "You don't know?" "He was a commander that worked for Amagoke." " In order to help the Amagoke family during their rough times..." " Excuse me!" ""'I would rather just sustain all the troubles myself than to see my lord fall into ruin."" " He said that and prayed to the moon." " What?" " Pork ramen!" " I'll have onion ramen." "Hey, hey hey!" "You're taking advantage of this!" " I was only going to treat those two." " Well well well...." " be generous." " I don't have any money either." " Just a bowl of onion ramen." " Ryota-kun, Ryota-kun." " The toy from before!" " Here you go." "This new moon...will be Yamanaka Shikanosuke Yukimori."
