"Scapegoater Melmo" "I see. "Fine feathers make fine birds"." "Unbelievable." "The tomboyish Melmo can actually look ladylike in it." "Oh, what about you then?" "I always look good in kimono." "In short, I wish you a Happy New Year, Professor." "Happy New Year to you too." "Happy New..." "Hmm?" "What is the hand for?" "It's New Year!" "Where is my gift money?" "Huh?" "Isn't it natural for adults to give children gift money on New Year?" "You are our guardian, so you should give me, Totoo and Touch." "Happy New Year!" "Happy New Year!" "It's so boring being alone." "Professor!" "Professor!" "It's New Year, let's play hanetsuki!" "Hanetsuki?" "I'd rather you pour me some sake here." "That's annoying." "Adults are so obsessed about drinking." "Annoying?" "That's my line!" "It's New Year and my wallet is already empty." "There have been many reports on pickpocketing lately." "During New Year, shrines and places where a lot of people gather are ideal for pickpockets to earn extra income." "Please take precautions so as not to ruin your holidays." "Staying at home or going out, either way people are trying to steal my money." "That's why I hate New Year!" "What's this?" "Ki... ki..." "Kite?" "I see, so this is Totoo's kite." "Alright, let's bring back the childlike delight of flying a kite." "Ki... ki..." "Professor, keep it up!" "Oh, it's falling!" "Ouch, that hurts!" "Stand up!" "It's okay, Touch..." "What are those guys doing?" "Suspicious guys." "Professor, Touch wants you to fly the kite." "Erm, I'm feeling exhausted." "I can't hop like Totoo..." "Touch, don't cry." "We can't fly a kite when it's windless." "Oh yeah!" "If we fly it on top of that building..." "Wow we've got so many mails!" "All mine, that is." "Wait, where are you from?" "Planning to fly the kite on the rooftop?" "No way!" "Well it's New Year so why not?" "What did you say?" "!" "When I say no, it means NO!" "Understood?" "!" "But I feel bad for them..." "NO." "More importantly, is our New Year dish ready?" "Still in microwave!" "Idiot!" "What are you waiting for?" "!" "Yes!" "The last thing I wanna see is to have children making a mess here." "This is a luxury apartment after all." "Belittling me just because I'm a child." "Here." "Gotta change our clothes..." "Come, let's go." "No." "You're not a baby now." "Here it is." "Sorry, please wait for me!" "I'm so sorry." "Oh, it's okay." "You didn't do it on purpose." "Yes..." "Never knew such a gentle lady existed in this world." "Why are some ladies gentle, but others fearful?" "Women are physically weaker than men, they often cry, and they get hysterical really fast." "My mum was a typical example." "Wait, I think I've read somewhere before women have greater longevity than men by 7 years." "Likewise, male insects die early whereas female insects could make it through winter to next spring." "It seems females are actually stronger." "Touch, isn't it great?" "Now we can fly a kite." "Sis, what do you think?" "Shall we use those two?" "Coming all the way here to fly a kite." "They must have nothing better to do." "Okay, let's speak to them." "Happy New Year!" "Hi!" "Happy New Year!" "Happy New Year..." "My little brother doesn't like to talk." "It's okay." "It's not easy to come all the way here to fly a kite, eh?" "Do you need anything from us?" "Of course, I have a favor to ask." "He's just like a kid." "Thank you." "What is it?" "No big deal actually." "Really, it's all your fault, ordering an old man around." "Lower down, use more force." "We're back." "Welcome, welcome." "Happy New Year!" "You are..." "Melmo and Touch." "Up to some mischief again with the candies?" "Thanks to our mischief we can now live in a luxury apartment." "What are you talking about?" "Two persons by the name of Chako and Inkichi asked us to look after their apartment." "Really?" "Really." "Maybe we appeared dependable enough." "Totoo, go pack up now." "What an imposing apartment!" "Did they say we can use anything in this room?" "Why aren't you happy?" "Isn't it nice to stay in this kind of apartment for once." "This is odd." "Ah..." "Touch, don't eat!" "It's okay." "They said we could eat anything in the fridge." "Is that so?" "Then don't expect me to help if something happens..." "I really can't accept this." "I'm not gonna play along!" "Do I look good in the photo?" "Well, my profession is a news photographer, so..." "But for a timid guy like you, all murder scene photos you took were blurry!" "That's because I have a tender heart." "Is that so?" "Massage my shoulder!" "Yoshihito-san!" "What are you doing on the floor?" "Yes!" "I said my shoulder is aching." "Get up!" "Yes..." "Yes ma'am!" "What's that noise?" "This is exasperating!" "You haven't collected the laundry!" "Y-Yes!" "Are you planning to air them outside forever?" "You're really useless." "That gentle lady..." "Socks." "Here you go, uncle." "Thanks." "What's wrong, uncle?" "Why did you call me uncle?" "I'm not even 30 years old." "Oh, thank you very much." "What are you doing?" "!" "Happy New Year, auntie." "Auntie..." "You!" "That's the room where the siblings stay right?" "Despite knowing the truth, we still can't take action due to lack of evidence." "What a shame." "What?" "It's New Year so likely they'll let their guards down." "Sooner or later they'll be giving the game away." "Touch, calligraphy has to be written on paper." "Touch, stop it!" "Touch!" "Touch!" "Oh man!" "A shadow... is he sending signal to his partner?" "T-That bastard!" "Bear with it." "All for the sake of catching the criminal." "I hate you!" "That time..." "That was because..." "I hate you, hate you the most!" "I can't believe you're flirting with the woman next door." "That's terrible!" "Maruko-san, it wasn't like that." "Maruko-san..." "You shut up!" "Don't ever call my name again!" "I don't wanna see you again!" "I wanna die, die, die in front of you!" "I-Idiot!" "Watch out!" "Let go!" "I wanna die, I wanna die!" "Yashihito-san, why aren't you stopping me?" "I don't wanna talk to you again." "I really wanna die!" "Yoshihito-san, you finally came to my rescue..." "Dear..." "You're from next door..." "You're my type." "Maruko-san." "What's all this about?" "Maruko!" "What?" "You have a problem?" "You already have me, how could you..." "You're such a..." "No, you're the one..." "What the hell..." "What do you want?" "!" "You really are such a..." "Such a woman..." "Intolerable..." "Don't come near!" "What?" "!" "You should stay away." "What are you swaggering about?" "How dare you poke you nose into my business." "Such insolence!" "What?" "I only raised my voice." "What do you think, everyone?" "That level of cruelty." "Females are cruel." "Isn't it true that female mantis devours male mantis?" "A certain type of male frog even carries eggs laid by female frog, and takes care of the froglets until they grow up." "In other words, males are created to serve females." "If that's the case, then wouldn't the males be miserable?" "What should males do to earn females' respect?" "In the world of animals, males commonly have sturdier built." "They use color, horns, or scent to attract females." "What about human beings?" "Putting on perfume to smell good will probably only disgust others." "It is work indeed." "Diligence in work makes a wonderful man." "Touch, hanetsuki should be played outdoors." "Nope." "No more shuttlecock for you." "Give up and go play something else." "Would there be one in it?" "Oh!" "This is..." "It's empty but heavy." "As if there's a hidden layer." "What could be in it?" "Ishizuka Station" "Oh no!" "I forgot something." "What is it?" "That box where we kept the branded wallets like Gucci and Hermes..." "Doesn't matter, they're empty wallets after all." "We took all the contents." "Well that's true." "They won't earn us much even if we were to sell them." "We better make our escape soon." "The police is after us." "Regarding this, we have plenty of time." "The scapegoats are still in the apartment." "Those two stupid siblings." "Same goes for the police." "Candies I got from the kid at that time..." "Want some candies?" "Looks tasty." "Ah, the bottom is opened." "Oh!" "So many wallets!" "What?" "Wallets?" "It's evidence!" "That wallet... belongs to the victim!" "No point in running away." "You're under arrest for suspected theft!" "Dear..." "Maruko..." "What should we do?" "To think this is still New Year..." "Idiot, pickpockets are next door!" "Pickpockets?" "Our neighbors?" "Damn pickpockets!" "Surrender!" "Pickpockets?" "Us?" "Don't play the fool." "The fact that all lost wallets are here is the evidence!" "Run!" "Oh no." "Damn it." "Where do you think you're going?" "We made it in time." "Hey!" "You're under arrest!" "That's really strange." "Thanks for the hard work." "I'm sure it's this elevator." "Me too." "To think they're actually..." "Unbelievable..." "This is a mysterious incident." "A young woman turned suddenly into an old lady when she was waiting for a train with her brother." "In order to ascertain whether it's a new disease, the lady is currently under investigation in hospital." "It's her!" "She took the candies and turned into an old lady." "That's right!" "The real pickpocket is in that hospital." "Ootafuku Hospital" "Reception" "This isn't a playground." "Why discriminate against children?" "That's infringement on human rights!" "I guess no one can complain now..." "Enough!" "You're the 17th photographer today." "How many photos of me in this look do you actually need?" "!" "But it's not like I enjoy doing this, it's just my job..." "Didn't you just took some?" "You don't need to be so mad..." "What's there to see?" "Allowing you to have fun watching us?" "You're annoying!" "It's you..." "Oh no." "Wait!" "Miss pickpocket, I have something to say..." "Hey Miss!" "Miss!" "Are you all right?" "I'm fine." "They'll find out who we are if we continue to stay here." "Let's go." "Okay..." "Sis!" "They're the pickpocket siblings!" "That's her!" "She's the one who made me look like this!" "S-She's the only one who knows our true identity." "Stop right there!" "Don't let her escape!" "Damn it!" "Stop right there!" "It's all your fault, bastard!" "I didn't..." "Wait!" "Stop!" "Borrow a while!" "Emergency Exit" "Oh no!" "Miss!" "Damn it!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Uncle, he is the real pickpocket." "What?" "!" "Shut up!" "Watch out!" "Inkichi..." "Inkichi..." "Wow, such boldness!" "Well, that was a spur-of-the-moment reaction..." "You really are talented after all." "No, it's just co-incidence..." "This is so Yoshihito-san like." "Honey, turn your face around." "Turn around." "Don't be so reluctant." "Good, they're expanding." "Disgusting!" "That's a kiss!" "It's not my fault." "Disgusting!" "Sex maniac!" "Professor is a sex maniac!"
