destiny
Imamura, what does this mean?
Destiny.
Right.
Despite one person's will,
destiny is always around.
No one knows what your future life holds,
but it's no use to be worried.
Go with the flow.. That's destinafinitely destiny~
Okay, everyone.
That's destinafinitely destiny~
Louder!!
That's destinafinitely destiny~!!
You are pretty lax recently!
Even more, there are the trial exams for Todai (The University of Tokyo) next week!
The entrance exam for Todai is a serious skirmish.
This weekend you are not allowed to go out at all, get it?!
Yes.
What's the matter Oomichi-sensei?
Ayukawa-sensei.
You guys can go now.
We are leaving.
Up until now, they've caused you a lot of trouble, however..
please be relieved already.
I, Oomichi, will certainly get them into Todai.
How reliable~
Therefore..
at the dawn of when they passed the Todai exams,
together, you and I should meet to celebrate our victory...
But that wasn't audible..
Treasure hunting on an uninhabited island?
I got a special written invitation from a distant relative.
In the past, pirates hid a treasure somewhere on that island.
"Uninhabited island treasure hunting tour" The person who finds out the solution for the code
"Uninhabited island treasure hunting tour" will get 10% of that treasure.
And? Won't we go together?
I'm sorry, but..
next week are the important trial exams.
If I don't stay at home this weekend and study..
I see..
That would be a problem.
This difficult quiz has to be solved to be allowed to participate on the tour.
"Two of them are wrong. Point them out."
"1. The capital of Japan is Tokyo."
"2. The capital of America is New York."
"3. The capital of France is Paris."
America's capital is Washington.
No matter how much I think about it, that's the only wrong one.
Is this question really correct?
Anyway, if we don't solve this quiz,
the dream holidays on an uninhabited island..
What are you doing?
A conspiracy again?
No it's not.
Liar.
Here.
Uninhabited island treasure hunting tour?
The person who finds it gets 10%.
Only 10%?!
But it seems to be several hundreds of millions of yens.
Idiot.
Hundreds of millions?
Why didn't you say that earlier?
But you have to find out the solution to this quiz to participate.
Us three weren't able to do it already,
so it should be absolutely impossible for you.
I solved it.
Eh?
Now, the first mistake is
that the capital of America isn't New York but Washington.
The other one?
The other one is..
the sentence "Two of them are wrong" itself.
I can't work anymore.
Imamura-kun~
Ah, you've already arrived.
Wait a minute!
Did you..
tell them the solution?
Well, we kind of did, but..
That can't be permitted.
I'll reveal their unfairness.
Eh?
Hi~ Nicholas
Hi, Girls~
American..!
Imamura-kun, let me introduce him.
That's Nicholas-san, we got to know him some time ago.
Hi~ Guys!
Good timing.
She's our English teacher, Miss Ayukawa.
Hi~
My..
Hello.
It's good that it's warm today, isn't it?
You could say that Nicholas-san likes Japan a lot, that's why he's fluent in Japanese.
Nicholas-san is a professional detective (keiji) of the New York city police.
Nicholas Cage?
No,no,no.
Nicholas keiji (Detective Nicholas)
Nicholas Cage?
(NY city police, Detective Nicholas) No,no,no.
(NY city police, Detective Nicholas) Nicholas keiji-san.
Welcome to Houryu Island.
(The descendant of the Shimabukuro Suigun, Shimabukuro Tatsuzou.) My name is Shimabukuro Tatsuzou.
(The descendant of the Shimabukuro Suigun, Shimabukuro Tatsuzou.) As the descendant of the Shimabukuro Suigun,
I am the owner of this island.
Hey, what are those Shimabukuro Suigun?
They were pirates active..
- ..during the Muromachi period (1336-1537). - My ancestors..
were called legendary pirates..
for formerly raising havoc in the nearby sea.
When I, one year ago,
discovered the ancient documents that
appear to have been left behind by them,
saying that "We once hid a treasure on Houryu Island",
I immediately bought this island
and searched for the treasure, but it was impossible for me alone to find it.
So this time, I..
had gather here, everyone who
splendidly solved the difficult quiz.
I think that with you we'll most likely find that legendary treasure.
The person who finds it first
(Adventurer, Edajima Goro) The person who finds it first
(Adventurer, Edajima Goro) is really going to get the treasure, right?
Of course he will!
However, the share will be 10%.
You better not..
(Treasure hunter, Nishino Erika) You better not..
(Treasure hunter, Nishino Erika) think about stealing the treasure and running away.
I don't hunt treasures
(Tokyo University archeology professor, Niwa Shuichi) I don't hunt treasures
(Tokyo University archeology professor, Niwa Shuichi) with such greedy feelings.
It's already worth finding the treasure alone.
Oh..
then why don't you give it to me when you find it?
Well, I'll think about that.
I'll give all of it to the person I might find the treasure together with.
It would be a surprise
(President of Japan's treasure loving committee, Ishidou Takehiko) It would be a surprise
(President of Japan's treasure loving committee, Ishidou Takehiko) to find a treasure on this island at all.
Before this island became uninhabited,
it was once an important base to protect the mainland from the enemy.
To turn this earth into a stronghold,
the government of the Meiji era constructed a lot of facilities.
Despite those circumstances, there didn't appear anything of the said treasure.
Actually I soon want to see an evidence.
Please look at this.
This is a map of this island drawn in the Muromachi period
with the code that indicates the location of the treasure.
By solving this code,
you'll find the treasure of my ancestors by all means.
Translator: HPriest Editor: furransu Timings by tianj
This island is dangerous,
that's why, in case something happens,
you get those..
Wow, that's extremely kind.
What's this?
A warning flare.
The person who
emits the smoke of his own color before anyone else is the winner.
You have my best wishes.
Hurry guys!
Imamura-kun!
Tell us when you find something, okay?
Here.
Sweets for your head.
Thanks!
Just leave it to us.
Humph, simple-minded as usual.
Now they'll search it for sure..
And we'll snatch away the treasure, huh..
"2 heaps of gold" [kin 2 yama]
"720l of rice" [kome 4 koku, 1 koku=180l]
"37.5kg of sugar" [satou 10 kan, 1 kan=3.75kg]
No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary breakdown.
It is, isn't it..
Gold (kin)
Rice (kome)
Sugar (satou)
Ouch..
Why only you may eat..?
"Candy" [konpeitou]
Ah! We got it!
Really?
Sensei..
Gold (kin)
Rice (kome)
and the "tou" of sugar (satou), what does this make?
Gold rice sugar! [kinkometou]
It's "candy". [konpeitou, when put all 3 kanji together]
Of course I knew that!
Look, before the Itou cape
is candy rock.
The treasure must be under that candy rock.
Hey, wait a minute!
Isn't the writing different?
This is not "rice" (kome), this is "plain" (taira).
You are foolish, aren't you.
The "plain" (taira) in "candy" (konpeitou) can also be written with "rice" (kome).
Do you know that "konpeitou" (candy) isn't a Japanese word to begin with?
Nonsense! "Konpeitou" (candy) is Japanese!
I had it all the time since my childhood!
Actually, it's a borrowed word.
Between the Muromachi and the Edo period,
in the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1573-1603),
sugar pastry called "confeito" which came to Japan from Portugal was spoken as "konpeitou".
You sure know a lot..
You can leave history to us,
since we have important trial exams next week.
Konpeitou konpeitou.. [Candy candy..]
There it is!
Huh?
Imamura-kun~
Eh, we are the last?
Except of Edajima-san, everyone's here.
You guys.. aren't useful at all.
The treasure isn't here.
This place is only just a starting point.
It is, isn't it professor~
Please let me certainly accompany you!
Sensei..
Leave her alone!
This can be our chance to be together with Matsuo and the others.
Imamura-kun~
Let's search together!
Certainly.
"2 heaps of gold" [kin futa yama]
"720l of rice" [kome yon koku, 1 koku=180l]
"37.5kg of sugar" [satou juu kan, 1 kan=3.75kg]
Maybe 2410m away from the candy rock! [2 heaps, 4 koku, 10 kan = 2410]
That's not right!
How long are they repetitively going to do that?
I somehow got tired.
Maybe not meters but 2400 steps away from the candy rock?
That's it!
- You are incredible~! - Imamura-kun~
We'll go back to the tent already.
Bye.
- Ah, wait a minute! - 984, 985
"Everything starts with a single step."
You really like cards, don't you?
Did you know?
The word "card" wasn't Japanese originally.
Is that so?
"Card" is a word we borrowed from the Portuguese.
So..
it's the same as "konpeitou" (candy), right?
That's right, as expected from a teacher.
Well..
Professor!
What's that?
That, you know..
is a sound detection place by the ex-navy.
They used this to detect submarines during the war.
When will we finally arrive..
If it becomes hard, take them as year numbers.
The arquebus gun was imported.
"Thereafter we preferred guns."
Xavier propagated Christianity.
"Thereafter Christianity increasingly spread."
Hey!
I'm going to forget where we are.
Say, what time is it now?
It's 02:43 and 28 seconds..
29..
Ah! Now I completely forgot where we were.
Let's redo it from the beginning once more.
EH?!
It was Kanzaki's fault..
It wasn't my fault.
Huh? Edajima-san?
Finally you kids noticed.
Gold (kin)
Rice (kome)
Sugar (satou)
Candy (konpeitou)
That means that the treasure must be somewhere near the candy rock.
Ah, we already did this long ag...
Well, you noticed it right after me,
that's quite promising.
However..
don't take it wrong, but you better give up.
I will choose any means
in order to win.
Huh? Don't tell me that's.. a trap?
Let's go..
1,2,3,4,5..
2410!!
There's nothing here..
Hey! What's that?!
It's Ishidou-san.
Who on earth did such a thing..?
Is this island really uninhabited?
There should be nobody.
Then.. the criminal is among us?
We were always here with everyone.
Right, Nicholas?
Yes.
We've been following the meal invitation by Shimabukuro-san..
Right, sensei?
Yes.
We've also been invited on our way back here.
What about Ishidou-san?
It was only until the midway,
when we noticed that he was gone.
How long would it take to walk
from the shed where we had our meal,
to the beach where Ishidou-san died?
The mountain road is not good by foot.
You have no choice but to detour it by taking the road along the beach.
Probably more than 40 minutes..
So, if we assume that one went there, killed him and returned here..
It should have taken 1 hour, right?
Well, there were some who went to the toilet..
But there wasn't anybody who stayed out that long, or was there?
And those who went separately some time ago..
Sensei..
I see.
You acted like you found him, although you actually killed him yourself.
We didn't!
To begin, with we had no motive to..
You wanted to reduce your rivals..
Isn't that motive enough?
But for Edajima-san!
Weren't you alone?
Suspicious, huh..
But that person can't be the criminal.
How can you say that?
Is that okay?
Here's the candy rock.
We were walking along this way
towards the beach where Ishidou-san was killed.
One time, on the way, we had to return to the candy rock.
At that time, we met that person.
From the candy rock
to the beach where the murder happened there's one direct road.
If Edajima-san
went there before us and killed Ishidou-san,
we would have passed each other sometime on his way back to the candy rock.
If he killed him after we met at the candy rock,
he would have had no chance but to outdistance us.
But along the way
we didn't even meet him once.
In short, it was impossible for that person to do the crime.
That seems to be right..
You are incredibly smart.
With this, the only ones without an alibi,
are you guys.
Are you saying that we killed him?
You can't know it for sure either.
Among us.. is the criminal?
Sensei..
Mh?
We were keeping it a secret from everyone back then, but..
we found this notebook in Ishidou-san's pocket.
"2005.7.16"
"The robber who robbed Sasaki Wataru-san's house.."
"hasn't been found."
"The damage of the stolen valuable kobans and antiques total to billions of yen."
Billions?
Don't you think there might be a connection between this and the murder?
Who's that Sasaki Wataru?
He's none of the guests on this tour.
Well, we'll keep it just in case.
Alright, retreat!
Where are you going?
It's been decided.
To the shortcut to the treasure,
the professor's place!
Imamura-kun~
What's wrong?
We have a favor to ask..
Hey!
I think they fell asleep.
Alright, with this we accomplished our duty.
No, not yet!
I just thought of a way how they can surely be protected.
What?
Sleeping together with them.
Konpeitou.. [Candy..]
That's it!
What happened professor?
Why didn't I realize such a simple thing..
Who's there?
He's dead.
Knife?
Is there any blood?
You could have instantly wiped it off.
Moreover, you probably have more than one.
Doubting as one pleases.
Is that a the professor's card?
It begins with an "a"..
Perhaps..
Ayukawa-sensei.
You've been in the same tent as professor Niwa, haven't you?
Sorry, but I don't have any knife.
We wouldn't know before we investigate.
The criminal..
must be either one of you two.
I didn't think this tour would end up being like this..
It's regrettable, but..
I will end the tour now.
Don't joke around!
We came this far and now you give up?
But since there have been victims..
So what about those dead people?
I'm shocked to hear that from a descendant of pirates..
It's just natural to kill rivals for the treasure.
I came here prepared for that.
I also won't give up!
Sensei..
The criminal will kill until he gets his hands on the treasure.
So that such a devilish person won't even get a glance at it,
I, will certainly find the treasure.
I understand.
Let's continue with how it is.
Everyone..
I sincerely ask you.. to be careful.
What?
I'll immediately finish!
You can leave it to me.
Yes!
Who's really the criminal?
I'm also anxious about the "a" on the card professor Niwa left behind.
Then..
there's also that newspaper article Ishidou-san had with him.
Why did he make other people find the treasure?
I would never do such a wasteful thing!
Because you can't search for it alone..
Not everyone is as greedy as you.
Shut up!
..I'm getting hungry.
Ah, banana, banana.
Eh?!
Sensei, what's wrong?
Did you guys.. take 1000 yen from me?
No, we didn't.
Say the truth!
Without a mistake I put 2587 yen into this purse
and now there's..
only 1587 yen.
How stingy!
You could have brought a little more..
Those three are gone?!
What?
Matsuo and the others aren't here?
There's also no luggage in their tent.
They freaked out and ran away.
That Nicholas isn't here either.
Nicholas too..?
Last night Nicholas and those kids
got along pretty well and created a raft.
Raft?
Did they escape from this island together?
Well, that would be great.
With that, the number of rivals decreased again.
Those two..
really seem to be able to kill for the treasure.
What should we do..
Sensei, what are you doing?
70, 80.. still not!
One more time!
2,4,6..
2.. 4..
Ah!!
What's wrong?
West! [ni(2) + shi(4) = nishi(west)]
10 steps to the west! [ni(2) + shi(4) = nishi(west)]
8, 9, 10!
Sensei, here's already a cliff!
Strange..
I have no doubt that it's 10 steps to the west.
Aren't you too particular about the number?
That's it.
I think..
it's strange in the first place that
rice and sugar are in exact proportions and only gold in "two heaps".
What are you trying to say?
You guys are really slow.
Those units are the code for sure.
mountain and stone.. [yama to ishi..]
and rock [to iwa]
The treasure is at a place that goes through the rock. ["goes through" from the unit "kan" -> "kaiku"]
I see..
But what does it mean with "goes through a rock"..?
Goes through a rock..
Down there?
Here..
"goes through the rock"..
A cave..
But that's somehow scary, isn't it?
With this, we will get the treasure!
Sensei..
Eh?
Please, go ahead.
Are you stupid?
You guys go ahead!
The teacher will watch from behind.
Are you stupid? You guys go..
- You go! - Me..?
Hurry!
Here..
Ah, the sea! The sea!
Wait a minute!
Stop!
Liste..
We've been partners until now,
but from here on, it's a fight.
Only the person..
who gets his hands on the treasure first will get it.
We'll start when I say "ready start".
Ready..
Start!
You fools!!
Unbelievable..
Oh!!
Isn't this quite suspicious?
But wouldn't that a bit too easy?
First of all we should remove them.
Yeah
We got it!!!
It's real~
Go away!!!!!
I'm first!
Never be careless.
How dirty.
This is the phantom money from the Muromachi period..
Eihou kobans!
Don't touch it! It's mine!
We are really not going to equally split it?
Don't worry, I'll give each of you one.
Anyway, burn that smoking candle, that warning flare!
Unbelievable..
Congratulations.
Ah, wait with the camera..
An evidence video.
Talk and variety shows would also run it eventually.
Hello~
My name is Ayukawa Misako~
Something like..
a treasure?
I accidentally found one!
What a surprise~
The surprised ones are here!
I'll prepare a rope and a bag for the transportation.
Please wait here, it will only take a minute.
Yes!
I finally did it!
About how much will 10% be?
He won't know whether I took one out.
I sincerely..
ask you not to take it selfishly..
Sure, of course not.
Just to be sure..
You don't have the right to even only take a small amount.
Sure, of course not.
Damn it.. just a little more..
What are you thinking about sensei..
Oh!
What's wrong?
It's Ishidou-san's.
"Sasaki Wataru" Huh? His name is different?
But why is it here..
Maybe it's that Ishidou-san was killed here.
What are you talking about?
Didn't you find his dead body at the sea?
But please look at this!
That flower,
It's a very rare flower to find at the beach.
The dead Ishidou-san had the same flower in his hand.
That flower is definitely from here.
Perhaps..
Ishidou-san grabbed it when he was killed here.
I see.
The criminal used the sweep of the tide.
Sweep of the tide?
Yesterday at the time when Ishidou-san got killed..
the sweep of the tide surely had this direction.
His dead body floated down from there and arrived at the beach.
The criminal knew this
and sneaked around everyone in a loop.
He killed Ishidou-san here
and immediately returned once he sank his dead body in the sea.
Going here and back perhaps doesn't even take 15 minutes.
I see!
Nobody would have suspected a person who said he was going to the toilet.
But.. who was it?
Konpeitou.. [Candy..]
That's it!
Why didn't I notice such a simple thing?
I know it..
This map is fake!
Fake?
The card that professor Niwa left behind was a hint..
You mean the character "a"?
What the professor was trying to show..
wasn't the single character
but the card itself.
What do you mean?
What do card and konpeitou have in common?
Both are borrowed words that came from the Portuguese.
That's right.
He wanted to tell us that konpeitou is an evidence that this map is fake
by using a card that has been a borrowed word as well.
Why is konpeitou an evidence for that it's a fake?
When did "konpeitou" get circulated around Japan?
In the Azuchi-Momoyama period. [1573-1603]
This ancient document was written when?
Muromachi period. [1336-1537]
Which one is older?
That's easy.
It's Muromachi of course..
Ah!!
You may not just cram the information, you also have to put it to practical use!
In other words, when this map is supposed to be drawn in the Muromachi period,
the word konpeitou haven't circulated around Japan yet.
I see!
So the time when the map with "konpeitou" was drawn..
This map and the code are made up imitations by that fake pirate.
He probably put this because the rock looked like a candy by chance.
But..
why did Shimabukuro-san made a wrong map?
Didn't you see it too?
That newspaper article..
It said "Sasaki Wataru"..
So the person who got robbed was Ishidou-san?
It seems so..
And the one who snatched away the treasure..
was Shimabukuro!
The robber Shimabukuro
knew that what he stole was a valuable treasure
and that he would get traced, if he used it normally.
But there is one way how the stolen treasure could be used without any problem.
That would be, with the evidence that he found it on this island.
So he specially bought this island and buried the treasure
and let us outsiders discover it.
Just now..
he made the evidence with the video.
Ishidou-san used an alias and slipped into this tour
to get back his treasure..
And was killed by Shimabukuro..
We immediately have to leave this island and call the police!
Yeah.
Are you idiots?
The ancient document might be fake,
but that treasure is real!
We'll take everything and run away!
Are you serious sensei?
Why do you want to run away?
It seems that you guys..
also found out more than what's necessary.
Your reasoning is splendid,
but you made one mistake.
I am not fake.
I am the real descendant of the Shimabukuro Suigun.
Just as he said.
Right, father?
You guys are father and daughter?
You sure are fools, aren't you.
Just because of the 10%,
you obediently searched for it.
You obviously don't know our Shimabukuro family's precept.
Once we obtain something, even if we die, we won't part with it again.
Come now!
Hand over the treasure!
You too..
don't seem to know the precept of the Ayukawa family.
Victory by escape!
Come!
Hey, sensei!
Wait!
Hurry guys!
Sensei..
Sensei, wait.
We've reached here already, we are safe.
Eh? How?
We've set up those backpacks with GPS!
That's dirty!
RUN!!
Your playing around is done!
The treasure is Wataru-san's!
This isn't yours!
And that gun..
is some fake gun at best!!
Sensei, we can't escape anymore!
Quick, hand over the treasure!
I get, I get it!
I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over!!
Okay, I'll throw it..!
You..
Sensei
Hey, hey, listen!
If you don't do something quick, it will sink in the sea!
Damn it..
Hold right there!!
Detective!
Throw away your guns!
Sensei!
What have you been doing.. I was worried!
I'm really sorry!
It's all thanks to you, really, thank you very much!
Sensei, sensei!
I would have been able to kill you.
But..
how you desperately protected each other stuck my heart.
You have a great teacher, haven't you.
- Let's go. - Yes
Why does he try to look good despite being a murderer?
However, why are you here detective?
I heard from Nicholas that
a murder happened on this island.
Detective Nicholas?
He isn't a detective.
Eh?
Dressed as a detective, he's a habitual criminal for stealing.
Stealing?
We have nothing to do with this!
We are the victims!
Come to think of it..
Nicholas went into everyone's tent for investigations..
Then, your money too!
Yes,yes,yes,yes!
You've also been deceived?
Yes!
How much?
2000 yen!
You said too much!
That's unusual.
He's a quite small villain who wouldn't
steal more than 1000 yen from a person!
He surely..
got tempted by his evil spirit, didn't he?
Anyway, you are truly a fine person.
You presented yourself without being frightened of the gun!
You protected them!
Of course!
Wholeheartedly wanting to protect them,
it was natural for me to put myself..
Sensei..
No, she just happened to got pushed in front..
Don't mix it up!
Again, you guys created trouble for your teacher!
Kamada-san please!
Well then sensei.
Eventually we wasted our time this time again.
You guys sure are naive..
What I threw from the cliff was a dummy!
I left the real one in the cave.
It was filled with..
Kanzaki's history reference books.
What did you do?
Let's go!!
I get it!
2410 steps!
What was that just now?
No clue..
Well, let's go.
Hey! Hey! Wait a minute!
I mistook it!?
Even though I prohibited you to go out..
again, you put Ayukawa-sensei into a dangerous experience!
No, it's the opposite!
She put us into a dangerous..
Oomichi-sensei..
Yes?
They've extremely reflected on what they did.
To forgive the students is also our duty as teachers.
Ayukawa-sensei..
You are a model teacher.
Detective.
Detective?
What did you guys..!!
No, no, that's not it!
Ayukawa-sensei..
Yes?
Today we've got the information that
the treasure of that case was safely recovered.
It has been found?
After all, it was a very valuable treasure.
I really didn't know anything about it when finding it..
I just wanted to protect it by all means so that it wouldn't fall into the hands of the criminals.
Really thank you very much for your efforts.
Don't mention it..
If I remember correctly, then there's something for the person who finds it first..
like a prize or more like 10% of it..
Of course!
Of course there is!
"Thank-you letter"
"to Ayukawa Misako."
"You heroically fought against the murderer,
stopped the serial murders and actively contributed..
to the arrest of the criminals."
As expected from Ayukawa-sensei!
"With this we'd like to express our gratitude for those truly great deeds."
Congratulations!
Minus 1000 yen after all..
This month will be tough..
Sensei!
What do you guys want?
It's regrettable, isn't it.
Nothing good is happening when I'm with you guys!
My precious days off have gone to waste again..
Get away from me!
That's too bad..
now that we just got news about a new treasure..
When? Tell me!
We don't want to~!
What?
Wait! Hey!
Wait!
Tell me! Wait!
Why.. Why are you running after me?
