10 years ago
- The criminal? - He stole a boat and escaped to that island.
There are currently no residents on that island.
All right, let's tighten the encirclement.
He won't take a step off that island.
Yes.
You found somebody?
No.
How's it over there?
There's nobody on this side!
Here too!
This is stupid..
Did he just disappear like smoke?
Listen..
It's hopeless to just blindly memorize a completely unknown English word.
If you logically link its meaning and pronunciation,
an English word is easy to remember.
For example
"knee" What does this mean?
You!
"hiza" [knee]
That's correct.
You have two hiza,
..so for knee
There are two hiza, knee! [spoken like "ni" for "two"]
Okay, everyone.
There are two hiza, knee!
But I think the number of elbows is also two.
Shut up!
Hey, look at this.
Imamura-kun?
Eh?
This..
I got this from a client of my dad's company.
"Resort hotel announcement party" ?
Some rich man bought an unpopulated island and opened a resort hotel there.
And beforehand, he's opening it for an announcement party for invited people only.
Since there will be some celebrities,
I think it would also be helpful for your future to make acquaintance with them.
Besides, for the last day, they prepared a quiz with the chance to get some wonderful prize.
Hey, why don't we go and try?
But you know, I should already start studying for the test. If I not seriou...
Resort hotel?
They're also coming?
Yeah.
Alright, I'll go.
Me too.
"3rd year, class B's Imamura-kun, Kanzaki-kun, Tsugamoto-kun"
"Please see Ayukawa in the teaching room as soon as possible."
You!
You again caused a problem, didn't you?
No.. by no means..
Sensei!
Ah..!? Oomichi-sensei..
Excuse me for this during the practice.
Don't worry. Apart from that...
Please talk to me first,
when those guys did something.
I would protect you with my own life.
Thank you very much.
However, it's okay.
Then, everyone, this way.
Then, thank you again.
"Thank you very much," she said, didn't she...
You...
1! 2! 3! ..
You.. yesterday you spoke with that fellow from Sakuraba again?
You aren't thinking about going with them somewhere during your days off, are you?
By no means..
Okay...
Then, you 3 will surely help me organize the school's documents this weekend.
- EH!?
I see...
In order to get acquaintance with people with a social status,
you go to that announcement party of that resort hotel.
Yes.
I think it's definitely helpful for our future.
You can say what you want...
You are only going there to flirt with the girls from Sakuraba!
And..
that..
..quiz prize is really a wonderful a thing?
Feels good, doesn't it? The sea.
You..
Do you know what kind of island that is?
If you don't know, then you better don't find out.
Nobody who knows gets near it.
We've been awaiting you!
I am the owner, Kurokawa's butler, my name is Mimura.
You must have been surprised.
When we officially started out the business, we planed to commission a wonderful cruiser.
Your are the last one.
This way please.
Over there is the hotel.
Please watch the steps and don't slip.
My stomach hurts...
You.. pity me a bit...
This way please.
Plain, huh?
Everyone seems to have arrived.
I am the owner of this hotel, my name is Kurokawa.
Before the opening, it can't be helped that it's a bit inconvenient here and there.
Please forgive me for this.
For the party tomorrow evening,
we've prepared a wonderful prize for the winner of the quiz.
Say...
(Newly-wed couple, Osada Toshikazu and Miki) We've heard that there would be a lot of celebrities here,
..but it looks like there aren't any.
Well...
What are you?
We came here for our honeymoon.
Is that so?
Love birds...
There has been a wonderful nature left behind on the island up until now.
(Novelist, Kitagata Shouichi) It can't be helped for hiding it now, owner.
What kind of island this island really was...
(Construction company president, Kanayama Junpei) What kind of island this island really was...
(Construction company president, Kanayama Junpei) What are you talking about?
(Tax counselor, Yamasagi Akira) Did something happen?
Not at all.. It's nothing to get worried about..
To begin with, 30 years ago.. the hotel here went bankrupt.
The owner who failed in managing it,
committed suicide and hanged himself.
Since then, nobody got near this island.
It became a ruin and unpopulated.
That happened more than 30 years ago.
There is more than just this.
Wasn't there also an odd event 10 years ago?
(Weekly publication reporter, Kudou Natsuko) What was that?
(Weekly publication reporter, Kudou Natsuko) 10 years ago, a robber attacked a jewelry store.
The criminal stole the jewels, shot an employee to death and ran away.
This guy did something brutal to gain time for his escape.
He set up the corpse of that employee with a bomb.
Just when his colleagues lifted him up...
The criminal stole a boat and escaped to this island.
The police, in cooperation with the local vigilante corps encircled the island...
..and cornered the criminal.
However, before their eyes...
the criminal somehow disappeared.
So, since the criminal hadn't been found, he might still hide somewhere on this island?
Everyone..
This happened 10 years ago.
There wouldn't be a reason for such a thing.
But why do you know about such a story?
I am...
thinking about writing a novel based on this story and am here to investigate various things.
And if something happens here again,
it would be the story of the year.
Isn't that awful? Hiding something like that...
Everyone, please be relieved.
There is no reason why the criminal from 10 years ago would still be alive.
Miss Kudou, please, I hope you'll be more mild.
Such a thing won't be possible,
if I wanted to report our readers the truth.
Miss Kudous's room number 203.
Okay
It's over there.
Thank you.
She's?
Her name is Kudou Natsuko, she does reports for a weekly publication.
(The owner's butler, Mimura Kazuo) I have heard that she visits various resorts...
(The owner's butler, Mimura Kazuo) ..and gives them scores.
Hey, you!
I can't stay next to such a guy.
This guy peeked into my room from his window.
I only looked at the outside.
Liar..!
Please stop..!
I'll immediately prepare another room for you.
I'm very sorry.
Miss Ayukawa's room is 314.
Miss Matsuo gets room number 305.
This way please.
No smoking!
Murderer...
This here sounds like a terrible place.
Not to me.
This just decreased the rivals for the quiz.
Okay! Let's go!
Imamura-kun!
Hey, why don't you come to our room tonight?
You can keep it a secret from your teacher..
Right?
Of course..
For that reason.. we came.
Then.. see you later.
Relying on those guys..
But.. won't they somehow be able to manage it?
They'll solve the quiz, we'll receive the prize.
Okay, immediately, prepare for departure!
Eh? Where to?
Listen!
Assuming that the robber escaped to this island,
the jewels he stole must also be somewhere here.
But didn't the police already searched for it in vain?
Besides, what if the criminal really still hides somewhere...?
"Leave from this island! Don't break into my roost!"
Translator: HPriest Editor: furransu Japanese subs by rokonoko Timings by tianj
What's this...
Who did such a thing...
Big trouble! Everyone, come!
There, look!
Smoke?
Is somebody there?
No, there shouldn't be anyone.
Don't say.. the robber..
Interesting.
I'll go and check.
Will it be safe alone?
Does somebody want to go with me?
They are all cowards.
He's slow, isn't he? Kitagata-san..
Maybe something happened..
Somebody should better go and check..
Not me.
I also have a somewhat urgent business..
I'll go.
Wait a minute!
If it's like this, we all should go.
Where was it?
Wasn't it around here?
Look! There!
As I thought, somebody was here..
Sensei, it's the same as that doll.
Like what?
A doll with its hands and feet bent with the exact same way...
was placed in our room.
"Leave from this island!"
"Don't break into my roost!"
That was written on it.
There is no doubt,
the criminal from 10 years ago is still here.
Anyway, shouldn't we help him?
Hey! What if there's something we don't know?
A bomb device like he did 10 years ago!?
Hey, isn't it better if we contact the police about this matter?
That's.. until the next boat comes tomorrow, we won't be able to get in contact with them...
What's this...?
Why such a thing...
Anyway, here it's the most dangerous.
Let's go back to the hotel.
But that..
Can't we do something..
Then, you go!
Why me..?
Eh? Hey.. sensei!?
It can't be helped..
I'll go and look.
You come with me.
Why does it have to be me?
He's already dead!
Everyone, that it became like this, my sincerest apology.
It's too late to apologize now!
You'll have to take responsibility for this!
- Right, Toshikazu? - Yeah.
More than that, are there any weapons?
In case of an emergency...
I have a knife for cutting branches in my room.
I'll get it.
Hey.. isn't the owner slow?
It's open.
Excuse me
Excuse me..
Excuse me...
I can't take this anymore!
Hey, return our honeymoon!
- Return it! - I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
It was the robber.
I knew it was him..
He can't have gone too far yet.
Let's split and search for him.
He'll pay for what he did!
Sensei..
Come!
Let's go.
What are you doing?
I thought the criminal would be in here..
He isn't though.
He wouldn't!
Why are we in the room of the owner now..
There is nobody here.
You guys.. aren't you forgetting something essential?
The prize for the quiz.
It was nowhere where I searched.
Because of that, you looked at those strange places?
Thinking about the prize at such a time..
You guys are really slow.
There is no prize.
It never was the intention of that owner to do a quiz at all.
Well, then why would he have called everyone out here?
Ah! Sensei! Wouldn't the prize be in there?
A safe.
Crap.. it's locked.
We need a password number.
What number? Or rather, what digits?
Birthday?
What's this?
Can it be opened by force?
"The sun.."
- Open!
Open!
Come on, open!
Please..! My treasure!
"At the time the sun goes up, she goes."
"Climbing over the blocking rock, towards the town."
Is that some code?
Couldn't he have written "direction" with its kanji?
We'll keep this and solve it.
Was there somebody?
There wasn't.
And there?
Nobody's there.
He's probably hiding somewhere.
Hey! You!
Since the owner is gone, you are the one responsible.
In that case, it's okay to claim for damages from you, right?
That's right! Our long-awaited honeymoon got spoiled!
My sincerest apologies.
How are you taking responsiblity..
Quit it already!
Now is not the time to talk about such a thing!
As expected from a prodigy high school student.
Listen everyone.
I don't know when that guy will come out again.
We'll lock our rooms and..
nobody will go outside this night.
How self-important..
What?
Hey, we quietly have to go to their room.
Ayukawa already fell asleep.
Alright~
You!
What's with the sneaking around?
No..!
Sensei, it was a long day today.
We'll keep watch.
Please, you can go to bed.
That's right. If you don't get a proper sleep, your skin..
Is that so?
Then, wake me up as soon as something happens.
Yes
We got impatient..
No! Stop it!
Stop it Toshikazu~
It will be fine~
Not there~
Then.. here?
No~
That couple.. doing such a thing..
..in spite of being afraid...
Besides.. isn't it completely dark?
That means.. we and them too...
What's this?
Probably the quiz the owner wanted to give us tomorrow.
If we solve this, we'll know where the prize is hidden.
Also..
"At the time the sun goes up"
See here, the sun goes up in the east.
The said "town" is the town at the opposite bank, I think.
If we take this, then the "rock"..
Hey, why don't we just go look for it after this?
It's total darkness after all, isn't it?
Shouldn't we not do such a thing, because of that darkness?
Right?
I don't get it.
Isn't the forest the first place where the criminal might hide?
If something is going to happen, aren't you there to save us?
Don't tell me.. you are scared?
Don't say such a foolish thing..
Just.. leave it to us.
Right?
How great.
How great...
Rock.. rock..
A blocking rock..
Where is this place?
I had enough.. let's go back.
Really.. let alone finding a rock like a missing child..
Eh?
Ok! Ok!
No problem!
This way.
Are you okay?
Imamura-kun, are you all right?
Really useless, huh?
Mh?
No.. nothing.
That hurt a lot..
This.. who is this?
Look!
Knife?
There's something shiny.
Hey.. that's creepy.
Hurry, let's go back.
There's somebody.
Leave this to us.
What?
You guys?
Kudou-san..
As I thought.. there are such things.
You! You must have guts to disappear to go out with these girls!
What if something happened to you..?
What should I have done?
You guys are really lucky.
These days you usually don't have such a nice teacher.
That's wrong..
Originally, she..
Fool!
I don't allow such a dangerous behavior!
Say, who do you think that skeleton really was?
Probably the robber that escaped here 10 years ago.
So, if that robber already died a long time ago, then who?
That reminds me.. There was a knife sticking in that skeleton.
Somebody stabbed him to death..
As expected from prodigies.
It seems like that, huh..
Also, there was something shiny inside that person..
Something shiny?
I don't know anything about that.
Err.. excuse me..
but why is it that you know so much about that?
You know, I...
was covering this event as a reporter for a weekly publication 10 years ago.
To get the truth and that something might occur, that's why I came here.
That resort report was only an excuse.
Something occurring..?
That owner, Kurogawa Taizou..
He is the father of the employee that died in the explosion 10 years ago.
He then, of all things bought the island that the criminal escaped to..
..and utilized that villa.
Doesn't this appear strange to you?
10 years already passed since that case..
Apparently a person recently bought the island and utilized a resort on it.
Sometimes, I'm dreaming about that time.
That still gives me goosebumps..
The colleagues from the vigilante corps, how are they doing now?
That was also not less than 10 years ago..
A lot happened..
Ah.. that's right..
It was a great influence back then, some guys even left.
Then, see you tomorrow.
Don't tell anybody what you saw today.
Okay..
Ooof..
So, you guys..
Why did you go out at such a time?
Actually, we found something in the owner's room.
We think that it's probably a code indicating the location of the prize.
However, we don't think you would be able to solve it.
You.. did you properly listen during my English lesson?
There are two hiza, knee (ni)!
This isn't about where the prize is hidden.
It's probably the password number for the safe.
Huh?
Ready? Look carefully!
Only a few words are written in kanji.
"Taiyou" in English is "sun"..
In other words, "three" (san).
"Kanojo" in English is "she"..
In other words, "four" (shi).
"Iku" is "go" (5)
"Iwa" is "rock" (6)
"Machi" is.. Tsukamoto!
City
You pronounced it wrong..
"Shichie".. in other words, "seven" (shichi)
3.4.5.6.7
Ooof..
"Since you are reading this letter,
I guess I'm already not alive anymore."
"10 years ago that jewel robber killed my daughter."
"I now bought this island in order to expose the truth about what happened at that time."
"There's certainly something hidden on this island."
"I am sure that the criminal is among the guests."
"I'm begging you. Please catch that criminal."
The owner, in order to find the criminal who killed his daughter..
Put his life on the line..
But why was the criminal killed 10 years ago?
The robber was probably killed by somebody for the jewels.
Perhaps that person was among the people who participated in searching the mountain.
That guy who participated in the combing, robbed and killed the robber.
He hid his dead body.
And then..
..falsely reported that nobody was there.
Hey! How's it over there!?
Nobody's here!
So, Kitagata-san and the owner got killed by that person who robbed him.
Indeed.
Kitagata-san surely was killed, because he was going to properly search this place for his novel.
But at the time Kitagata-san was killed..
..and also at the time the owner was killed,
..everybody stayed together.
And moreover on the time of the blackout..
If we assume that the criminal is among the guests..
How on earth did he...?
The same again.. Even that woman..
That criminal.. he is going to kill us all!
The criminal probably became aware of that we and Kudou-san discovered that corpse.
That's why she was killed..
Eh? Then.. we are next?
Among them.. is the criminal...
What should we do!?
We have to find the criminal before that happens.
But how?
Calm down!
Why did the criminal put so much effort into this?
Specially placing the doll in this room.
And then arranging the killed Kitagata-san in the exact same way as that doll.
Wasn't it to pretend that it was the act of the robber?
If so, then he could have placed a threatening letter next to Kitagata-san's dead body.
Besides, the rest were killed ordinarily.
Is he going to kill us all!?
I got it.
We'll now go and meet the criminal.
Isn't this the place where Kitagata-san got killed..
This guy is the criminal!
Strip it off.
What's this?
This means that Kitagata didn't die.
He just played dead.
This also explains why the doll was placed in the room beforehand.
He lied down in the same way as the doll,
so that everyone would be convinced of his death after only a short glance from the distance.
Moreover, the robber from 10 years ago set up a dead body with a bomb.
Wondering whether there might be a similar thing this time again,
nobody wanted to get near it.
There might be a bomb like 10 years ago!
But Kanayama-san and Yamasagi-san..
..approached Kitagata-san and confirmed his death.
Those two are probably his accomplices.
Hopeless..
He's already dead!
Those two.. purposely acted like they were on bad terms.
So, the owner and Kudou-san got killed...
..by Kitagata.
Everyone would have a clear alibi.
Son of a.. I won't forgive them.
However, they weren't able to deceive our farsightedness.
It wasn't your farsightedness!
It was mine!
Anyway, what those guys did can't be allowed.
Let's return and take it out on them.
Yeah!
That's not necessary!
You.. as we thought were alive.
It was a strange posture to die though..
I have a complete stiffness in my shoulder.
You.. won't be able to run away again!
Just as you guys said..
10 years ago, we killed the robber and stole the jewels.
Hey! What's wrong!?
Did you find somebody?
What did you..
Wait a second!
In here are the jewels this guy stole.
Why don't we equally split them?
Hey! How's it over there!?
Here.. is nobody!
Here too!
The owner and Kudou..
They both repeatedly dug into what had passed.
It was a good chance to kill them..
You guys..
It's not too late now.
Docilely give yourself up.. And give the stolen jewels back to me!
Why to you?
We've already exchanged the stolen jewels into money anyway.
Thanks to you we are able to afford a nice living.
Although we didn't find the most valuable jewel, huh..
That was strange..
Then..
You have no more business here..
You can go home.
That conclusion isn't quite right.
Huh.. it turned out like this?
If that's the case..
..then guess what I have here.
RUN!
Wait!
It's hopeless!
Wait!
Crap.. a dead end.
Let's climb up the cliff!
When we are all up, we'll cut it.
- Hurry! - Hey!
- You coward! - Ouch!
Hey! You!
Don't just think about saving yourself!
Besides, it will strain, if you all climb up at once!
- Ah, that's right..
First.. the teacher will go!
Hey! Wait!
Sensei! Hurry!
Be prepared!
You guys, do your best!
You are not alone!
Your teacher is by your side!
Wait..
We are defeated!
You did it!
You idiots! What are you doing?
Next, teacher, is you!
What a nice teacher..
Because you've been worrying about your students, you weren't able to escape.
Stop it! Don't come!
It's the end already!
Stop it..! STOP IT!
Huh?!
That hurt...
Huh?
Eh?
Sensei, hurry!
The boat is leaving!
What were you doing?
Gimme a second..
Wow.. I didn't think I would meet you again.
However, I was surprised...
That you alone knocked down those three men.
I only fought frantically in order to protect those kids.
Because I..
..am their educationalist.
What a fine teacher for sure..
Hey.. sensei
And you guys on the contrary..!
Miserable!
Really miserable!
Kamada-san, just a moment?
Man.. again.
We got nothing good out of it.
You are naive, aren't you.
Didn't they say that the most valuable jewel that robber stole disappeared?
I found out where it is.
Eh?
At the moment the robber was cornered, he swallowed it down.
When you had the encounter with the skeleton, you said there was something shiny. That was it.
I picked it up. This is it.
Is this really a genuine article?
Naturally! Give it back!
Sensei. Those guys really have crooked natures.
10 years ago it seemed like they equally split the stolen jewels, however..
..that Kanayama guy secretly kept the most valuable for himself.
Eh?
Ah, sensei!
That's a mineral you're often able to collect in this region.
As a child, I often collected them..
Those stones...
As always expected from a sensei with such a discerning eye.
Yeah..
Somehow, I'm crying..
Excuse me.
I heard from Ayukawa-sensei,
that although she asked you not to, you ended up going on that island..
..and got knocked out by some scoundrels.
Sensei, you know, that's..
Imamura-kun
I understand.
Sensei, those kids are greatly reflecting about what they did..
Ayukawa-sensei, you are such a fine person.
Look! On top of all, she brought me this kind of jewel as a present.
This is.. just.. a stone..
Sensei, if you allow, I made a pendant for it..
Although it isn't such an expensive...
No..no, those who'll see, will understand.
You can go already.
Okay, excuse us.
By the way, sensei..
Yes.
To somehow express my gratitude,
there is a delicious tavern near my home..
What do you think?
We certainly should..
Ah.. again?
Bringing such a stone back home..
..and even a pendant.. We have to think about it positively..
Thinking positively?
But it's just a stone..
It's your fault that I wasted my precious days off again!
I'll subtract this from you all!
You!! Wait!!
Ah, Ayukawa-sensei..!
Hello, it was nice to meet you.
You...
..wait you rascals!
