No requests for our services today either.
I'll have to cut Ryo's allowance by fifty percent.
We need to start thinking seriously about a new line of work.
What's this line for?
I wonder if they opened an off-track betting office next door?
RN Private Investigations...
Oh, it's private investigations.
Private investigations! That makes us rivals!
It's terrible, Ryo!
Be quiet. I'm trying to think.
This isn't the time for that!
A private eye has set up shop next door! It means real competition!
No, it doesn't.
Look closely.
The clients are all men with goofy looks on their faces.
My clientele is strictly limited to beautiful women.
You're right, just guys. Why?
The private eye is a lady named Reika.
Age 24, bust 341/2 inches, waist and hips as yet unknown.
Ankles very slender.
How well informed.
You didn't go slinking next door to pay a visit, now did you?
No, just did a bit of reconnaissance.
Where'd you get that mark? Explain yourself!
Truth is I got in that line first thing this morning.
Welcome to RN Investigations. I'm the owner, Reika.
What luscious legs!
Please sit down.
Yes!
What brought you here today?
Well, there's this woman I like,
but, as you see, I'm a coward and I don't have the courage to tell her.
I'd like your help.
I'm sorry, but that's not my area.
Yes, I'm afraid it is.
It must be. For you see...
The lady I like is you!
Could you leave? You're the type of man I dislike the most.
But I do like this.
This 34C-sized bust.
Your mokkori body heat...
I get it. The slap you took was about this hard.
I think it was a little lighter than that.
Okay, I'll lighten your allowance by fifty percent then!
No...
A gunshot in the basement!
Hey, Ryo!
Always getting away like that.
How could he hear a gunshot in the basement from here?
It's Reika!
You mean the private detective from next door?
What are you doing here?
What do you mean? This is my house.
I see. I was told about your fondness for women.
And there's only one man who can do what you just did.
That's the City Hunter, Ryo Saeba!
You know a lot about me.
That's my line of work after all. I like this place.
I'll be coming by to use it often. And all those weapons...
Looks like we'll be sharing this basement. Thank you.
How dare you?! What nerve! Just how did you get in here?!
Nerve is something I was born with, and that's how I got in.
How awful! Making a hole in someone else's house like that!
You got it wrong, Kaori.
I'm the one who dug the tunnel.
Even worse!
How about it, Saebe?
Come to my office for some tea to help us get acquainted?
Is it really okay?! But I thought you hated guys like me?
I'm not choosy when it comes to my associations.
Okay, then, let's go! Let's go!
Reika, you might trip, so just walk over me instead.
I'll be the bridge to our love. Feel free to step...
Your motives are transparent.
I was afraid of that.
Maybe I should change my policy.
Please...
Look at that.
Pretty messy for a woman's room.
Too bad, they found me already.
They were after something. Was it a thief?
No, nothing's been stolen.
I've gotten used to this.
Looks like you enjoy living the dangerous life.
I'm not choosy about the jobs I take.
Okay, I'll go make some tea. You clean up.
Who are you? Who's in there?
Reika!
Thanks, you'll take care of him, right?
Don't be taking someone else's gun like that!
This isn't the time for that!
Sister!
Did you hear that? She said sister.
If they're sisters, it follows she's good at manipulating men.
Sister, what are you doing here?
A courtesy call. I heard you opened an office, so I came to see.
And I saw this.
It's the same as ever. Why not give up this dangerous stuff
and come back to the police?
Police?!
So you're a lady in blue in a miniskirt?
A detective.
She quit without consulting me first.
Sister, no use talking about it anymore.
See how she is? Ryo, I wouldn't try getting too close to...
34 inches, close! Saeko loses by half an inch.
Still choosing one is really difficult.
It's nothing compared to what will happen if you get close to Reika.
Before you know it, she'll have you doing some dangerous job.
Not likely! You're the one who always depends on men.
I wouldn't do anything so disgusting. I only use men.
Is there a difference here?
The difference is my attitude.
Still, 34 inches and 34 1/2 inches equals a total of 68 1/2 inches.
A bust of enormous proportions.
Ryo, breakfast is ready!
How late are you going to sleep, Ryo?!
He's gone. That's strange. He's rarely out this early.
You don't think he's...
Okay, everyone, no pushing, no pushing.
You'll all get a turn. Stay in line.
Those without gifts will not be allowed to see Reika.
Out of my way, out of my way!
Hey! This here's for Reika.
I wanna give it to her myself. Gonna let me through or what?
Line-jumping is bad manners.
Please take your place at the back of the line.
What?!
Yeah! Yeah!
Not fair! Get to the back!
We're all waiting!
Shut up!
Wanna do something about it?
Oh my, this is bad for business.
I don't like it a bit! A loser like you working the front for...
Ready to give up now? Or would you rather give up breathing now?
Of course, I'll take my leave now.
Man, thanks to him all the clients ran away.
Your name here, please.
Place your gift over there.
What are you doing?
No jobs lately, so I'm working here part-time.
At our competitor's place?
Just trying to foster a good relationship with our neighbor.
A close and intimate relationship?
No way...
You idiot!
What's that racket?
What are you doing? We have no clients at all.
We haven't had any decent clients.
It appears that way.
What do you mean by that?
Oh, whatever. We're done for the morning.
Time to make my rounds. Want to come?
Rounds?!
I'll let you come with me if you'll be my guard dog.
No hope.
Here is this month's payment, please accept it.
This is less than the agreed-to amount, is it not?
With the trade imbalance created by the jump in the yen exchange rate,
and subsequent decrease in the GNP, this is all...
I see!
Then it's okay if I turn over the evidence to the police, right?
I assume you make this choice knowing the consequences.
It might very well mean the end of you and your Ozora Syndicate.
Bring the rest of the money from the safe.
Yes, Sir!
I see, now I get it.
You extort money from Yakuza gangs
by threatening to reveal their criminal activities.
Extort? That's a harsh word.
The folks who ransacked your office yesterday
were from one of those gangs, weren't they?
They were after some of that evidence you're holding.
Probably...
I don't get you. What could you be thinking?
It's not that complicated.
Money in the hands of men like them is put to bad use.
I'm just preventing that.
But someone's going to come after you sometime.
Why, I might kill you myself with so much money at stake.
That's a bad joke.
Soon as I say it, it happens.
I'll have nothing to do with a girl so money-mad she risks her life.
If it were just me, I wouldn't risk my life for money.
Think you can just walk off after putting a scratch on a lady's face?
I demand compensation!
Saeko's little sister, all right.
In lieu of monetary compensation,
I'm going to have you work for a while as my assistant.
I shouldn't have saved her life.
From now on, your body is at my disposal.
Is that what it is, Reika?!
Very well, consider my body your compensation.
I would have been happy to oblige, had you only told me sooner.
Don't confuse me with my sister!
I fail to see the difference!
Henceforth,
entertaining vile thoughts about your employer won't be tolerated.
Why was I born under such an unlucky star?
Get away from the door!
Looks like they set a time bomb
in hopes of destroying you along with your office and the evidence.
Too bad, all that evidence is burnt to a crisp,
but you ought to be thankful you're still alive.
What idiots they are!
What's the matter? Is it the shock?
You think I'd keep the evidence in a place like this?
I have it hidden in a place safer even than a bank.
See? It's right here. There's no place safer than right next to you.
She's good.
Yep.
My office will be out of service for a while,
and you do have a big place here, Saeba.
I'll borrow one of your rooms for a bit okay?
That's a little bit too much, isn't it?!
Right, I agree!
Now if your going to pay the rent with some mokkori love action...
How cruel to speak that way after using me so.
Using her?
No, do you think Ryo... Did he really?
You got it wrong!
Shut up, you loser! I trusted you!
Reika, say something!
Perhaps I could have chosen my words better.
Planning to sever our relationship?
It's true you've rendered us great assistance, but...
What with what that girl is squeezing from us
added to what we pay you, our organization will be ruined!
Same with us.
Who is the girl?
One tough private detective named Reika Nogami.
Nogami?
If it was just her alone, we could take care of it.
However, she's working with Ryo Saeba.
And he's the one guy we can't mess with.
If we plan on staying alive in this town, that is.
We don't want our association with you to end, so how about it?
Your assistance in this matter...
Very well!
Nothing could be easier than taking care of a couple of troublemakers.
Just like that Detective Tomomura...
Who did you come to these public housing apartments to meet?
That's none of your business.
Wasn't it about three months ago
that detective named Tomomura died in a D.U.I. Accident?
Two passersby were also hurt and he took a beating in the mass media.
He was your senior in the department, right?
Why keep coming here even now?
How did you find out?
I know everything about the person I love.
Just mind your own affairs!
Detective Tomomura...
This isn't much, but...
You really didn't have to...
Your special dispensation from the department for this month.
Each month, thank you.
Not at all, I'm only delivering the dispensation from the department.
But my husband didn't die in the line of duty,
and there's the trouble I'm causing everyone.
Despite it all, I'm given this large dispensation.
No, no. Detective Tomomura was an outstanding individual.
He served with distinction. You deserve no less.
Hearing your kind words affords me much relief.
What happened? Was it a fight?
They all said Papa was a killer cop! A disgrace to all the police!
Papa wasn't like that! He was a great detective, right, Mama?
That's right. He was a great police officer!
Mama, why?!
Why do they say that? Mama?
Mama!
Thank you, goodbye.
You heard everything?
Right.
So, you've been giving her the money you get from the Yakuza
calling it a dispensation?
But considering the purpose,
the amount of money you've been taking is excessive.
I wonder if Yakuza money would make Detective Tomomura happy?
Who cares about their money!
Their money is made of Detective Tomomura's blood!
What do you mean? It sounds almost like you're saying they killed him.
That's right. I don't have a shred of evidence.
That's why I've been making my demands so excessive,
so that their mastermind would have no choice but to make a move.
Mastermind?!
Reika, get down!
Over?
The bullets reached us more quickly than the sound of the gunshots.
Right, this isn't the work of your average thug.
What do you mean?
Since the sound of the gunshot reached us last,
that means the shots came from a spot over one kilometer away.
Only a pro could produce accurate fire from such a great distance.
You pushed them too hard, and here comes one scary guy.
No turning back now.
I'm so happy. He's finally made a move.
The man responsible for Tomomura's death, and his family's suffering.
At last the mastermind makes a move.
I can't believe it's someone in the police department!
Man, some can of worms Reika's opened!
They say that Fukamachi is one dangerous guy!
He's only a small fish. There's a much bigger one swimming around.
I'm mad! Where do they get off putting us in jail?!
Take it easy. The fun is just starting.
Don't miss it!
