The Soseki Kite Battle Over London!
Is this the famous Rosetta Stone?
Yes it is, Madam.
Oh!
This description is written in ancient Egyptian.
This description is written in Greek.
The contents of both descriptions are the same.
The French scholar, Champollion, was the one who deciphered...
the ancient Egyptian language.
This stone is a treasure of England. Now we can read the Mummy's language.
May I say something?
The people who discovered this stone in Rosetta, Egypt...
were soldiers in the army of Napoleon The First.
The person who found the Rosetta Stone was also French.
And the person who deciphered the ancient Egyptian language was French!
In spite of this, why is this stone in England?
I don't know why?
This stone should belong to us in France!
May I say something?
The land of Rosetta is in Egypt.
So Egypt has the right to keep the Rosetta Stone!
One third of the language they wrote on the stone is in Greek.
I, as a Greek, insist on having one third ownership of the stone!
May I say something?
Huh?
Who are you?
Where are you from?
Don't say you're Egyptian!
Ahem!
Who are you? Get lost!
What are you doing here?
I am who I am!
Shut up!
I can't sleep!
I heard the mummy talk. I feel something bad might happen.
I'm hoping that a group of distinguished professors, like you...
could give this a thorough scientific analysis.
- I wonder if he's speaking the truth or not. - It must be some mistake.
No, it's true.
This room has been kept closed since the incident.
What is it?
What happened?
I don't know.
It's over there!
Oh, wait! Please wait!
What is this?
Hey! What's going on?
Here!!
There!!
Here we go!
On your right! Your right!
No!
Oh, please don't go!
This must be a dream.
A dream?
How could a stone fly off into the sky?
It's against the great laws of Sir Isaac Newton!
I must be dreaming now.
I see! This is just a dream.
Yes! This is a dream. So long Mr. Rosetta Stone!
Good bye! My honey, Rosettina!
Good bye! Good bye!
Why are you guys sticking your noses in my dream?
Wait a minute! Is this really a dream?
Ouch! This is not a dream.
Oh, my god! What am I supposed to do?
We did a great job. Hurry up and get to Dover!
I'm sure the mummy's ghost did it.
The mummy got angry because people discovered the secret...
of their language after the Rosetta Stone was found.
He was unhappy because they woke him up from his eternal sleep.
Well Chief, don't rush to conclusions.
Somebody who really wanted the Rosetta Stone must have done this.
Anyhow, the Rosetta Stone is a treasure of England.
There are always people who are trying to steal treasures.
If nobody was interested in stealing it, then it's not even a treasure.
However, about the mummy doing this...
Then, who stole the stone?
I don't know.
French, Egyptian, Greek...
anybody who has some connection to the stone, wants to have it.
That stone is a treasure that has brought ancient Egypt...
into the modern world.
But they stole it from the sky. It's a cunning strategy.
Do you think they used a blimp?
No, yesterday's wind velocity was more than 60 meters.
Then they used an airplane?
But I don't think they could have used an airplane.
Nobody seems to have heard the sound of an airplane.
By the way, Watson, why don't we go out and eat French food tonight...
since we haven't done that for a long time?
What? French food?
Yes, Mrs. Hudson, would you like to join us?
Oh, yes.
Mr. Napoleon...
you look like you 're having a fun time.
I can 't stop laughing after I heard that the Rosetta Stone disappeared...
from the British Museum.
Well, Napoleon found that stone and Champollion deciphered the letters...
sculpted on the stone first.
Therefore, France should keep that stone.
Does that mean someone French stole that stone?
What? Not at all!
The French people are never thieves!
I don't need change!
I thought so!
Holmes, why did he rush to leave so quickly?
That man must have hired somebody to steal the stone.
But if he didn't use a blimp or an airplane, he must be very smart.
I already have some idea how they did it.
Well, let's enjoy our dinner.
Yes.
Here we go.
Japanese?
Yes, his name is Kinnosuke Natsume.
He's a young professor who came here to study the culture of England...
from the far eastern country of Japan.
So, how is he related to this incident?
There are big typhoons that strike Japan over and over...
from summer to autumn.
I see.
European people try to control nature, but Japanese people know how to use it...
and adapt to it.
K. Natsume...
I'm very interested about the incident of the Rosetta Stone.
Really? Has something happened?
Yes, about one month ago... When I was returning home...
Wait!
Who are you?
There!!
Here!!
Here we go!
I thought the other students were making a joke, at first.
But, the attitude of those two people was very suspicious.
They stole an illustration book that I brought from Japan...
that was translated into English.
And the book had a story about a thief...
who used the big wind to steal things.
Used the big wind?
Yes, there's a big castle in Nagoya, Japan.
A monster fish with the head of a tiger and the body of a fish...
called Shachihoko is on the top of the castle, to protect it from fire.
The scales of the monster fish are made of gold.
A hundred years ago, on the night of a storm...
there was a thief who stole the scales of the fish.
I understand!
What do you understand, Holmes?
You are a smart detective, Mr. Holmes.
This is the picture book.
While I was wondering about the book they had stolen...
the Rosetta Stone incident happened.
Well, thank you very much Mr. Kinnosuke.
I think there's a person who ordered those men...
to steal your picture book.
He got the idea from the book and committed the crime.
But, you don't have to worry anymore.
We will take care of this incident.
Well then, goodbye.
Goodbye!
Bye!
If they stole the Rosetta Stone, where did they hide it?
I have some idea where.
There is no Rosetta Stone?! I wanted to see it.
This is just like a party with no cake.
What is Scotland Yard doing?
The Rosetta Stone might be hidden somewhere between London and Dover.
So, Mr. Holmes, do you already know the place where they hid it?
I guess so.
Then let's go over there and take it back with us!
No, I'm already tired today. I'll make sure I bring the stone back tomorrow.
B... but...
Hey, Holmes!
Don't worry. I'll never let the stone get to Dover.
Curse you Holmes! I'll never let you do that!
If you are trying to stop me tomorrow...
I, Professor Moriarty, will take action tonight!
Your tea will get cold.
By the way, Holmes, do you really know where they hid the Rosetta Stone?
No, to tell the truth, I don't have any idea.
What did you say?
The only person who knows is Moriarty.
What is going on? Really?
Tonight, I hope a strong wind will blow again.
What's mine is mine and what's yours is also mine
Long live France!
We have a problem. Holmes found out about this!
What? Is that true? He might have found out at the restaurant!
Don't worry about anything.
He is bragging that he will find it tomorrow...
but I'm sure he doesn't know the Rosetta Stone is here.
Oh, why didn't you tell me that first?
Then let's cross the ocean, and move this to France, tonight.
Oh, don't play with it! Oh, excuse me! Wait! Ouch!
Wait!
Watch out!
Here we go! Here we go!
Todd! Smiley!
Yes sir!
Prepare the kite!
Oh, yes yes!
Here we go!
Great! Run fast as soon as the wind starts to blow!
Yes! Here we go!
Heave ho! Heave ho!
Isn't it amazing that you can cross over the Straits of Dover so quickly.
Oh, I can already see the ship.
Well, Mr. rich descendent of Napoleon!
Can you pay me the amount you promised me now?
Well, congratulations for the good job. Let's shake hands!
No! No! I don't want to shake hands! Why don't you give me 10,000 pounds?
Non! Non! I don't want to pay even 1 pound...
until we arrive safely in France.
Stingy!
I'm not stingy. We French make a distinction between right and wrong.
Make the rope longer!
Oh, what is that?
Moriarty, good evening from the ocean!
Rats! How could this happen?
Todd, Smiley! Use battle plan #302!
Start the battle! Start the battle!
Roger! Battle plan #302...
start!
Kinnosuke, how are we doing?
We're doing all right! Leave this up to me!
In Japan, we have a game called "kite battle".
We cut our opponent's rope.
Now go!
All right!
Oh, Professor!
Operation number 105!
All right!
What?
Well, I'll make it this time!
No!
The engine is...
not working.
Here we go!
All right!
Wait!
L... Let me go! Protect your own life by yourself!
Oh!
Help me!
Protect your own life by yourself!
Please, don't say such mean things!
Kinnosuke! Are you all right?
I'm all right!
Vanished!
Holmes might have given up.
Oh! It's coming over here!
Holmes! It will crush us!
You fool!
Todd! Smiley!
Bring down the kite quickly!
Yes sir!
I thought something was fishy so I came here to check.
Then I found you guys here!
Damn it!
Don't get so close! The kite will fall!
Well then...
Charge!
Here we go!
Now, bring it down!
Yes!
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
Oh, this is it! I'm going to swim.
Spinning! Spinning! Spinning!
You can't do that! We have a ship down there.
Wait!
We did it!
We won!
It's good to have things back in their proper place.
That's right.
The Rosetta Stone is a symbol of the British Museum.
A blueprint of the airship, White Silver, was stolen.
There are only a few days until the maiden voyage.
Who did it and what are their intentions?
The shining silver airship, White Silver, took off with Holmes in it...
and so begins the mystery in the sky.
If you find yourself in a mystery, please come see us at Baker Street.
Chase the airship, White Silver!
