Tokyo Academy University, 2nd Year Asagi Haruya
Quit slacking off, Haruya.
Senior at Work Isobe Katsuo
I was just wiping my sweat.
You know... when you're holding a drill, you need to really sink your hips in.
Bam bam.
You see?
You hold it like this, stand strongly...
And put your hips into it!
All that's left is a 'bang!' and a drrrrrrrrr.
- Yes, yes. - Okay, try it.
- I won't do that. - Don't be shy!
Hey. Do it, look!
Hold it!
And then put your hips into it!
What the heck?
Quit playing around!
See, Haruya?
Huh?
It's you!
Right!
Here are today's allowances. Uh... Shinohara-kun.
Thanks for your work.
And... Asagi-kun.
- Yes. - Thanks for your work.
- Ohta-kun! - Yes!
Ah!
Today's work was tough~
- Hey! Shall we go drinking? - Will you treat me?
You treat me.
Isobe-san. Don't force a student to be your drinking buddy.
Idiot!
I'm asking you as one person.
Whether you're a student or not doesn't matter.
I'm begging you... Treat me!
If I don't have this, I can't live!
- There you go again. - Don't say that.
Again again again again... again!
I'm starved...
- You can have cup noodles quietly in the room. - That's not...
Tokyo Academy University, 2nd Year Shinohara Toshiki
Asagi-san.
Ooya-san... (Landlord)
Your rent.
I'll definitely have it next month.
You haven't been paying for three months, have you.
You've been going to part-time work, right?
Today, and I mean today...
I'll have you pay!
Takadanobaba, Tokyo
[Tokyo Academy University]
I'm so hungry...
How much do you have?
Of course.
The landlord took my salary from yesterday.
I can't survive this month anymore.
I'm starved...
Hey! Toshiki!
Tokyo Academy University, 2nd Year Kubota Kazuomi
What's wrong?
He's too hungry, he's dying.
Then...
Want to eat this?
Melon bread!
I actually have a bit of a request.
A request?
Miu-chan, here.
Tokyo Academy University, 2nd Year Noumi Miu
I mentioned him earlier, Haruya-kun.
And Toshiki.
This girl is in the same seminar, Noumi Miu-chan.
Hello.
And...
This year's Miss Tougaku! Yay!
Woo! Whew~
- Seriously? - Well...
But I didn't especially want to be it.
My friend sent the application on her own.
Ah, you hear that a lot. Those who win are usually like that, right?
Kazuomi, what was your request?
Oh, rather than mine, it's Miu-chan's request.
She says she's rather troubled.
Please help me. I need your help.
What do you mean by help?
Since about a week ago, someone's been following me.
Like on the way home from the station.
Today I even got a threatening letter.
Here.
"Watch out when you walk the street at night alone."
Last night he stared up at my room from the road in front of my apartment.
I'm so scared.
It's a stalker?!
Go to the police! The police.
She did go but they outright said they wouldn't respond.
So why me?
Haruya-kun, you caught a thief the other day, didn't you?
That...
I just coincidentally came across a thief passing a fence.
But you have the courage to catch a suspicious person!
That's impossible for me.
If this goes on, I think I'll go mad.
Please.
Please help me.
But you see...
I have part time work.
I'll reward you.
Reward?
200,000.
200,000?
Youth Detective Haruya ~ I won't forgive adults' evils! ~
This is a free fansub by mottofreaky/ihsarafes.
So do you have any idea who the criminal is?
Somewhat.
One is a senior from a circle called Sea Side.
He's a third year, Ohtani Masato.
Tokyo Academy University, 3rd Year Ohtani Masato
We dated for a short time but we broke up three months ago.
But...
- Hey! Hey, Miu! - He wasn't convinced when we talked about breaking up.
He stormed to my house once.
I'm not breaking up with you, okay?
Okay? Miu!
Since then, I haven't even seen him at school.
I quit the circle, after all.
And the other is a regular at the club in Ginza I work part time at.
A club in Ginza?
A person called Matsumoto Kenji, someone from a film production company working in cinema or something.
Video Production Company Producer Matsumoto Kenji
He kept persistently saying 'I'll let you debut, go out with me.'
If it's money, I'll pay you.
- Please stop. - He even asked how much he had to pay to sleep with me.
He came to the club every day but...
He hasn't come recently.
That, on the other hand, is actually scary.
What is their contact information?
I've deleted Masato's from my phone, so I don't know.
I might have Matsumoto-san's business card if I go back to my room.
Well for Ohtani, if we ask the people from the circle, it'll work out somehow.
For Matsumoto's business card, I'm going tonight, so give it to me then.
Huh? You're coming to my house?
Someone's peeping at your room, right?
Isn't it quickest to ambush and catch him?
If you don't want to be alone with me, then call a friend.
I understand.
So let's hurry and clean this up.
I wonder if I'll get a reward.
I'll be able to live for some time on this!
[Cafe, Snacks // Alabama]
Hmm... A stalker...
That's dangerous.
Owner of "Alabama" Ishida Shizue
Kaoru-chan, Set A.
Yes!
Part-time Worker Fuyumoto Kaoru
Well we know the suspects, it'll be cleaned up in no time.
She's giving out a reward! A reward.
Then Haruya, you can pay your accumulating tabs!
Don't say unnecessary things.
Sorry.
Speaking of which, I've had a stalker too recently.
Shizue-san has?
Yes.
Whenever I go shopping or something, I always feel someone's gaze.
The shop always gets silent calls too.
Isn't that just a misunderstanding?
What do you mean?
Stalkers go after young, beautiful girls right?
What's that... are you saying I can't have a stalker?
No, I didn't mean it like that.
It's related to age...
- Pay all of your bills to this point right now. - Eh?
Ah! I'm starved.
Isobe-san will have katsu curry.
Huh?
It's not katsu curry.
- Don't decide that on your own. - Isobe-san, listen!
These guys treat me like an old lady.
- An old lady? - They're really rude.
It's okay, Shizu-chan. There are guys in the world that like old ladies too.
What?
Mature women sound good too... Yeah.
That doesn't comfort me at all.
Eh?
No... What about 'former girl'?
Well anyway, the stalker investigation has started.
We'll start by contacting Ohtani.
What? We're contacting them?
There's a girl I sort of know in "Sea Side" after all.
Well if possible, I don't really want to see her though.
Bam!
- This is the best. The best! - This is the best too!
- No, look at these lips! - Super cute!
Excuse me.
Ah! Haruya-kun.
Tokyo Academy University, 2nd Years
Andou Mai
Sakamoto Aoi
Kojima Momoko
- So cool! - Huh? Huh?
What? Eh? What's wrong, Haruya-kun?
- There's something I want to ask you. - Eh? Oh no!
What is it?
You guys are in a circle called "Sea Side", right?
Eh?
Ohtani-senpai is a stalker?
Ohtani-san's name was raised as a potential criminal.
Well it's true that Miu and Ohtani-senpai were at odds when they broke up.
Is Ohtani-san the type to retaliate when dumped?
I don't think so.
Well, he's a flashy, but he's a good person.
Well I want to meet him in person to make sure, just in case.
Alright. I'll try contacting him.
[Sunrise Town Court]
Come in!
Has your friend come?
I didn't call one.
What are you doing?
O-Okay.
Take a seat.
Here it is.
Matsumoto-san's business card.
Oh.
What is it?
Actually, I...
I knew about you.
About me?
We were together at the new students mixer in first year.
I won't pay you!
They said there was no entry fee.
What's up?
Onoue-san, this guy won't pay!
Paying an entrance fee is a scam, isn't it?
I definitely won't pay.
Don't get carried away!
Onoue-san! You!
You really confonted those upperclassmen, huh.
Because those guys were crazy.
What was that representative's name again?
Onoue.
Right. He was a really nasty guy, wasn't he?
Remembering it now, I get annoyed.
Haruya-kun back then sure was cool.
No, all the first years there looked at you admiringly.
That's not true.
Oh then, we should watch from the balcony soon.
Ah!
Wait!
You can't!
- Wait a second. - For what?
Is someone there?
No, no one's there but...
Wait a second.
Come in~
Eh?
Ah!
How is it?
Yesterday, he came around 9, right?
Yeah.
Did we miss him today?
Wait, you bastard!
- It hurts! - You!
It hurts...
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry! - It's not 'I'm sorry', you pervert stalker bastard!
Stalker?
You peeped at the room, right?
Huh?
Noumi Miu's room!
- You're mistaken. - Don't lie. I just saw you!
It's true I was looking at a room, but it wasn't that one.
Huh?
Your younger sister's room?
Yes. The second room from the east of the third floor.
The room next to Noumi-san's, huh.
Recently I can't get in touch with my sister, I got worried and came to see the situation.
Is she missing or something?
If that was so, I'd go to the police immediately.
When I tried called her mobile, it connected.
Well, she hung up without talking, though.
My sister entered university this year and started living by herself.
At the start, she properly kept in contact, and was living quite diligently.
When spring passed, it seems she started to mingle with some really bad friends.
You wouldn't happen to know anything about my sister, would you?
Miu's Neighbour's Brother Hironuma Masashi
I'm sorry, I don't.
Oh but, if it's my friend, they might know something...
I'll ask them later.
Really? Thank you.
Oh! Um, I...
My name is Hironuma.
My little sister's name is Chiaki.
Excuse me.
Wait! Hey, he's escaping!
It's fine. That person isn't the stalker.
Huh? But he was watching my room.
He was looking at the next room.
His younger sister lives there.
Younger sister?
Oh, that girl.
You know her?
No, just that I saw her a few times.
She always dressed loudly, and returned to the room with two or three men.
They all seemed like bad people.
Got carried away with her university debut, huh.
If I was in the same position, it'd be tough.
You have a little sister, Haruya-kun?
I do.
My parents that got tired of me, poured all their affection on her.
Thanks to that, I'm a poor bitter student with no allowance.
You must have dome something wrong.
Every person makes mistakes.
That's how it is.
Hello?
Hey, it's Fuuka. Were you awake?
I was awake. What's up, this late?
When I was wondering how you were doing, mum said I could call you.
[Asagi]
Haruya's Younger Sister Asagi Fuuka
I see.
Next time they'll get me a mobile phone, you know.
When I buy a mobile, you're going to be the first one I call, okay?
I'm looking forward to it.
It's late already, go to sleep.
Okay! Then, good night!
Good night.
Could that be her just now?
It's nothing. Let's go.
As expected, it looks like Ohtani-senpai has been busy the whole time with job hunting.
Job hunting students are busy with seminars and company briefings and such, right?
Eh, what? What are you doing?
It's here.
The surfboard and the wetsuit are so conspicuous.
It seems fake.
He probably doesn't surf at all.
Yo, Aoi.
Ah, Ohtani-senpai!
What? You guys are here too?
- Of course we're here. - Even though you're actually happy!
Hey, let's have a mixer next time.
I'll bring some hot guys with me.
Hmm... we can't do that.
We're fans of Haruya-kun.
Right, Haruya-kun?
Who are you?
I'm Asagi, in second year.
I'm the one who asked Sakamoto-san to call you out.
What for?
I want to ask you about Noumi Miu-san.
About Miu?
Ohtani-san, you were going out with Noumi-san before, right?
That might have been so, but...
We've cut all ties now.
Is there any lingering affection?
None.
I already have a new girlfriend.
I've completely forgotten about Miu.
Rather... why are you asking something like that?
Noumi-san has been shadowed by a stalker recently.
So we're looking for the culprit.
So Miu suspects me.
I'm the one that suspects you.
Hearing various rumours, I thought there's a possibility that you're the criminal.
I have a girlfriend though, and I don't have that kind of time!
It seems Ohtani-senpai isn't the culprit.
He isn't likely to inconvenience a woman, and he's busy with job hunting.
Which means... another suspect is the criminal?
It happened again. It really is a stalker.
Welcome.
Asagi-kun?
Are you Matsumoto-san?
Sorry, I guess I made you wait?
No.
Well, I never would've expected Miu to say she wanted to see me.
I didn't even think of it.
- Excuse me. - And so, where is Miu?
The toilet, I suppose.
She isn't coming.
I'm the only one that came.
What do you mean?
How about you stop hovering around a woman so sneakily?
You're a nuisance to her.
What are you?
Noumi-san's friend.
I was asked to stop her stalker.
Stalker?
It seems you courted her quite persistently.
That was because I wanted her to debut.
In something like this.
You're a scout for porn?
I thought if it was her, she'd immediately become the number one actress of the company.
Don't you think so?
Uh...
Excuse me for a moment.
Hello.
Haruya-kun? Can you come over to my place right now?
There's been a rattling sound in the room next door for a while now.
Next door? Does that mean Chiaki-san came back?
I don't know. I just feel like it somehow isn't normal.
I got it. I'll go now.
Oh!
Yes, this is Alabama.
Who? Who are you?
Again...
Oh!
- That's dangerous! - Oh... um, hello. I'm sorry.
Oh... No, I was careless too.
Don't worry.
I'm sorry.
Are the neighbours still doing that?
I think they left.
Did you see where she returned?
I didn't see, but listening from inside the door,
I heard them exiting the room.
Maybe two or three people?
I heard talking voices too.
How about a female's voice?
I didn't hear one.
It might've just been that she was silent, though.
It seems they've gone, huh.
Yeah.
Didn't it seem like fighting?
It sounded like they were dragging the furniture.
Moving the furniture, as though they were looking for something.
What were they looking for?
I don't know that.
There was a security camera in the lobby.
If we ask to see that footage,
It should have recorded the guys who went in the room next door.
We'd know their faces, at least.
There might be a bit of a problem with that.
Problem?
That security camera moves, but it doesn't record.
What's with that? There's no point.
Well, there were various circumstances...
And... the cause was me, though.
What happened?
A janitor who was here until last year looked at the recorded footage of the security camera,
And repeatedly made sexually harassing remarks to the girls living here.
Like 'You brought your boyfriend here last night, didn't you?'
He said terrible things to me, too.
That's why I got angry and called the management company.
And?
That janitor was fired.
And the security camera stopped recording so it wouldn't cause any similar problems in the future.
The janitor was fired?
Of course.
Everyone was pleased.
I'll tell Hironuma-san about the matter next door later.
Okay.
Oh, also... I met Ohtani and Matsumoto today.
You met them?
How was it?
I guess they're both innocent.
No way...
Which means the criminal is someone else.
We'll have to be wary for a while longer.
"Watch out when you walk the street at night alone."
Hey, wait.
W-What is it?
What were you doing there?
You put something in Noumi Miu's room's post, right?
Not really... I didn't put anything in.
Are you the stalker following Noumi-san?
Wait, you bastard!
Ouch... Ah... it broke.
That's it. You can't run anymore.
I caught you!
Haruya, what are you doing?
Isobe-san?! You reek of alcohol!
I was drinking on that bench over there.
And then I saw you.
I'm glad...
That's out of the question.
Why? Why don't you consult me?
It's so hazy...
This is like when Shinjo in the Hanshin baseball era stood on the winner's platform
and said "We'll win tomorrow" and won 12 times consecutively.
I get it. Let me go!
Quit fooling around.
Huh?
"Quit university, or else you don't know what'll happen"
They're serious.
It'll be bad if we don't catch them quickly.
What's that?
I found it where the culprit fell.
You remember this, right?
No, not really.
It's the Sea Side mark.
It was on the door of the circle, right?
Eh? That means... The culprit is from Sea Side?!
Kazuomi, can you ask Sakamoto-san and the others about the owner of this?
Tokyo Academy University, 2nd Year Naitou Shoichi
Naitou Shoichi.
He's a second year, like us.
Naitou-kun did...?
If Haruya hadn't let him escape, you wouldn't have to do such troublesome work!
You got in the way, didn't you!
Oh, Shizu-chan did you see that?
- Young people today just snap! - Isobe-san! Don't get in the way!
Yes.
I'm continuing.
It appears after Miu-chan quit the circle, Naitou also quit for a while.
Eh?
It seems like Naitou liked Miu-chan.
I didn't notice at all.
I mean, I've never talked to him.
It looks like he was just staring from a distance.
Since he's gloomy and shy, it was unpleasant.
I wonder if this is my fault.
If I had noticed Naitou-kun more and talked to him, maybe something like this wouldn't have happened.
It isn't your fault at all!
There are many kinds of guys in the world. Sometimes a strange one is mixed in, you know.
Shizue-san, you're talking about Isobe-san aren't you?
What?
There are even good things among the strange things.
Meaning: Don't be deceived by appearances, and observe them carefully and assess them.
Hmm? A weird thing?
What's Naitou's address?
We've investigated it, of course.
Shall we raid him?
Yeah. Let's clean this up quickly.
Wait, you bastard!
Da!
How much are you going to run?
You can't escape anymore.
A stun gun?
You've even prepared something like that.
Isn't that a bit overboard?
Ouch!
I've never used a stun gun before but...
It hurts quite a lot, doesn't it?
Can we try it?
P-Please stop.
Then tell me honestly.
What were you planning to do, following Noumi-san on the road at night?
If it was after she broke up with a guy, you thought she was easy to attack?
That's not it!
If that's so, what was your aim?
Explain yourself properly.
You might not believe me but...
I...
I didn't intend to harm Noumi-san.
That...
I heard it.
Ohtani-senpai was saying he would attack Noumi-san.
Ohtani-senpai did?
Yeah.
I won't forgive her for dumping me.
I'm going to make Miu regret breaking up with me.
What do you plan to do?
Rape her, take photos and spread them on the internet.
That's terrible! That's worse than revenge porn.
I'm going to hurt her so she falls apart beyond repair.
I didn't think it would happen but that night, I tried following Ohtani-senpai.
That's when...
Ohtani-senpai was really aiming for Noumi-san.
In other words, you're saying you followed Noumi-san to protect her from Ohtani?
Ohtani-senpai would do something like that?
He's good looking, and he doesn't seem like he'd inconvenience women.
Ohtani-senpai has a strange amount of pride.
I think Noumi-san was the first woman to break up with him.
And the threatening statement tossed into the post?
That wasn't a threatening statement.
I was trying to warn her of the impending danger.
- Why didn't you tell her directly? - Of course I thought of that too!
But I've never talked to Noumi-san...
I could only protect her secretly.
If you were that worried, couldn't you have gone to the police?
Well, that...
Spit it out, honestly.
You had an ulterior motive, right?
'If I save her from the stalker, we can become friends.'
Did you think Noumi-san would like a you that's like that?
Enough.
Who would've thought that Ohtani-senpai was keeping watch on Miu-chan?
That guy's good at smooth talking, he might escape because it's only Naitou's word.
If that's so, we'll wait until the decisive moment to go after him so he won't escape.
Eh?
- Ohtani-san. - Oh, what's up, Asagi-kun?
Suddenly calling me out.
Well, we've decided to stop investigating the matter of Noumi-san's stalker.
Since we asked you about various things, we thought we'd report to you.
What do you mean, stopped investigating?
It seems she's gotten a new boyfriend.
A new boyfriend?
Right. As soon as it happened, we became a nuisance.
He visits her home frequently, and she says it's fine even if we're not there.
Oh and before, I told her you were worried but...
She said to tell you not to contact her again. Since it's a bother.
Even though you were that worried.
Women are heartless, aren't they?
Then... I have class now.
This slut! It doesn't matter who you get close to!
No~ Don't be rough! Ohtani-senpai.
You're that guy with Asagi...
"Because you broke up" means it's unjustififed resentment.
That's unacceptable, Ohtani.
How...?
We heard it all from Naitou, in the same circle.
Naitou told you?
Naitou, who liked Noumi-san became a stalker to protect her from you and escort her.
You, who didn't know that, seemed to be surprised hearing about us and the stalker.
You tried to do something stupid.
I couldn't forgive her!
I couldn't forgive her for dumping this me!
See? Isn't it nice here?
It was even featured in magazines, it's famous.
A cheap izakaya would've been fine...
What are you talking about? We aren't suitable for izakayas, are we?
Ohtani-senpai, why don't we end this already?
What?
Wherever we go is featured in a magazine or appeared on TV.
That's not what it's about.
Ohtani-senpai, it's somewhat empty and insufficient.
Hey, open up! Miu!
- Damn woman! - The one that's damned is you!
Noumi-san got tired of that lame pride, don't you understand that?
Huh?
Didn't you think of Noumi-san as an accessory or something?
Because "Miss Tougaku" would make a great looking accessory.
Only caring about having a good appearance, if the content's lousy, there's no point!
Shut up.
What would trash like you understand?
Damn this, Naitou that.
You're hopeless.
Shut it!
This bastard!
Next time you hurt Noumi-san, I'll kill you.
Got it? Ohtani-senpai.
Yes.
Anyway, that's one case closed.
Yeah. Ohtani-was that threatened, too.
He'll learn from this and won't show himself in front of Noumi-san again.
Haruya, listen.
What?
The stalker stopped!
That's good!
I wonder if it was just a prank.
I wonder.
That stalker might be surprisingly close.
Right, Isobe-san?
When I try to invite Shizu-chan on a date somehow,
Recently I keep trying for the right timing.
Like following Shizu-chan when she goes shopping...
Yes, this is Alabama!
Who? Who is it?
Or trying to call her...
You know, Isobe-san...
You'd better stop doing that.
Why?
She'll just think of you as a stalker.
- A stalker? - Yeah.
Isobe-san.
- Will you treat me this today? - Eh?
Sounds good! I'll treat you. Let me treat you.
Then Shizue-san, add a mixed fried meal and Napolitan pasta.
Why are you ordering? You.
- Eat. Toshiki, eat up! - Thanks for the food!
Eat a lot!
Ah!
Do you think Noumi-san would come?
Yeah, she said so. To bring the reward.
Speak of the devil.
Hello.
Sorry I'm late.
You don't have to rush.
I'll arrive soon.
Ah!
Noumi-san?
Stop it!
Hey, what's wrong? Noumi-san!
What is it?
I think something happened.
Huh? We were supposed to have solved the stalker issue, right?
Haruya!
Damn! Just what is it this time?
