3 Months Later
Excuse me, can you take a photo?
Thank you, Mr Bear.
Takeru, let's go to the Museum of Sexuality next.
Well, since you insist!
Oww~!
Takeru, you got yourself another women quickly enough!
Damn you!
Hey! You part-timer there!
What are you doing?! Stop that!
- T-this is... - You're fired.
One turn, please.
Teddy, you won't abandon me, will you?
"Cheer up, Kazuko-chan."
"You'll find a better man."
Still, did you see his new girlfriend?
Do you think she's pretty?
"No no, I'm not into flashy women like that."
"In the end, I suppose that guy just can't resist big breasts."
"You're better off without him."
You're right, Teddy.
I love you!
My daughter in her twenties...
Ah~
Alright!
- What? - Housekeeping money.
You promised to pay it today, right?
Tomorrow. I'll pay tomorrow.
What are you saying?
Didn't you get your wages today?
- Don't tell me you were fired again? - No... I wasn't...
I'm doing better than ever.
Atami's most popular bear...
...That's me.
Really?
Ah, tomorrow.
I'll definitely pay you tomorrow.
- So get out now. - That's a promise.
If you break it...
...become a chef, please.
- Huh? - Chasing half-formed dreams
it's your future you're endangering.
Your Uncle Toshi
thinks you'd make a fine chef like him.
But...
This is no time to be chatting to a bear.
Ah~
Ah!
Eh?
- T-Teddy?
Teddy?
Sorry about my nagging hag of a mother.
Honestly, youngsters these days rely too much on their parents.
You should be independent.
Could it be you can hear me?
I'm getting ill.
Morning.
Nooooooooo~!
Teddy Go!

- What kind of man? - Flamboyant.
Ready...
Wait, what?
There's no one here.
He was here just now.
Weren't you just dreaming?
I want that money today.
That's strange.
Eh?!
Ow ow ow...
Hey! Pick me up!
Hey!
It seems...
...the only one who can see me...
...is you.
I wouldn't have thought someone your age would kiss a teddy bear.
I love you!
Hey! What are you doing?
Don't tell me you're gonna...
Stop! Stop!
Look at me!
I'm just a ghost borrowing this guy's body.
Ghost?
Give it a rest!
What are you doing?
An exorcism.
Hurry up and get out of Teddy!
If I could, I'd have done that long ago.
Huh?
I've got unfinished business in this world.
Until that's done, I can't enter Nirvana.
What the heck?
Hey, help me out, will you?
There's someone I've gotta find.
Why should I help you?
Please, Kazuko-chan.
You're the only one who can hear me.
No way, it's not my problem.
Just for a day...no, half a day.
Please help me, adorable Kazuko-chan.
That's not Teddy's voice!
Kazuko!
- Let's go to the hospital. - Ah...
Eh? No! Ah! Eh? Ah! Ah~!
Hey, geezer!
Thanks to you, she misunderstood.
Not "geezer".
It's Amano Yasuo. Yassan.
Huh?
That reminds me,
if you don't pay housekeeping today
you're gonna be a chef, right?
Do you wanna do that with your life?
- Shut up!
- Isn't there something else you'd rather...
Just for today,
if you help me find someone,
I'll pay it as a part-time job.
Ah, no, is a ghost in any position to hire me?
When I was alive,
I hid some secret savings.
500,000.
If you don't believe me,
I can show it to you.
Kazuko, hurry up and get ready.
If we go now, we'll be in time for the first consultation.
Ah, no...
It's a misunderstanding!
You were fired from your job, right?
Lying to your mother,
at this rate, you'll have to be a chef!
Likewise,
if you're lying I'll throw you away.
Are you sure this is the place?
Yeah, no mistake.
Way back, I worked at the cram school on the 4th floor.
The 500,000 is in there.
Eh? Geezer, you...
Ah, I mean Yassan, you were a cram school teacher?
Never mind that, just go in.
Isn't this place deserted?
Takaijuku teaches online classes.
It's pretty popular locally.
Well, this is where the lectures are recorded.
Can I go in like this?
Which room is it?
Listen, promise me something first.
From here on,
follow my instructions word for word.
- Don't say anything unnecessary.
- Huh?
Why not?
If you do, I won't tell you where the money is.
Ah~ What a pain.
Word for word. Got that?
Yeah yeah.
Here goes.
Excuse me~
Ah, excuse me.
Unconnected parties aren't permitted...
"I'm Takai Yayoi's niece, Kumase."
I... I'm Takai Yayoi's niece...Kumase.
Ah, my apologies.
Eh? So Yayoi-san had a beautiful niece like this.
Beautiful?
Idiot, he's just being polite.
- Pleased to meet you.
- Ow!
I'm the English lecturer, Yoshizumi.
I'm the Japanese lecturer, ?hashi.
That's the maths teacher, Furuya-sensei.
Sit down.
- Please sit. - Ah...
"I wanted to ask you all about my Aunt Yayoi's death."
My Aunt Yayoi is dead?
Hey, not like that!
Didn't you know?
Ah, no... Well, mm.
It happened 3 months ago.
The bodies of School Head Takai and Yayoi-san
were discovered on board a sealed boat.
From a suicide note at the scene,
it was concluded they'd committed suicide with briquettes.
They left behind their young son Riku-kun.
Hey, what's going on?
What's with this tragic tale?
You're not supposed to think.
Just repeat everything I say.
Huh?!
You wanna know where the 500,000 is.
Ah...
That's...
Riku-kun's, isn't it?
"T-they're matching ones."
They're... They're matching ones.
Is that right?
Riku-kun always treasured that bear.
You're not in that photo.
I... I was off sick that day.
Is something wrong?
Ah, no...
Ah, excuse me.
On the day this was taken,
was there a lecturer off sick?
No, everyone was here.
What's going on?
Oh well, can't be helped.
"Do you know about a detective who fell at the marina?"
Hurry and repeat that.
Do you know about a detective who fell at the marina?
Ah, you mean the detective who
was re-investigating the couple's case?
I think his name was...Amaike-san?
- It's Amano.
- Eh? Amano? - That's right, Amano-san.
He was investigating near the scene
when his foot slipped and he fell to his death, or something.
Wrong! I was murdered!
Eh?! Murdered?!
Whoops.
Ah.
Um...
For now, scram.
Ah!
Buu~ Buu~ Buu~
Ah, hello~?
Ah, yes, yes?
It's nothing like you told me.
So this isn't where you worked?
And the money?
What's this about being murdered?
I am that murdered detective, Amano.
Among the Takai's personal effects
I found some newly-bought shoes.
That made me wonder.
Would someone planning to die
go and buy new shoes?
So I launched a re-investigation.
But then...
While I was investigating, someone pushed me down.
Did you see those guys' expressions?
There's no doubt.
The killer is one of them.
Hey! What's going on?
What are you doing? Kazuko! Kazuko!
Hey! Stop! Stop!
Please don't... Ah~!
Bang! Roll roll roll. Ow.
- Ow, my head, my head...
- Ah! Ah! Ah~!
- Are you gonna kill me twice?!
- Goodbye.
Twice?
What are you talking about?
Isn't this handkerchief familiar?
Ah!
3 Months Earlier
The sea is beautiful, isn't it?
Kazuko...
What?
There's another girl I like more than you.
Sorry. Let's break up.
Bastard!
Fate is a bitch, isn't it?
When I became a bear,
your snotty handkerchief was wound around my neck
and I was carried off by Riku-kun's relatives
But in the end, they sold me on
and that brought me back around to you.
You get it, right?
You're more than a little implicated in my death.
Make up for it.
Wait...
Can you feel someone watching?
Y-you can't scare me.
I'm not kidding.
This is bad.
Get out of here right now.
You're being targeted.
What do you mean?
Now they know you know I was murdered,
the killer's gonna try to interfere.
Wh...
Why did this happen to me?!
What should I do?
You have 2 options left.
You can solve the case with me,
or go on living in fear of the killer.
Now, which will you chose?
Fine, I get it. I'll do it.
