Inoue-kun.
Inoue-kun?
What is it?
Can you write this report?
Yes.
Then, I'm counting on you.
Yes.
Inoue-kun. How far is the m/z?
What?...Uhm...Yeah...M - H is 1,115.53.
Can you do this later as well?
Yes.
I'm also leaving this to you.
Ah. Sure.
Inoue-san.
I had a little discussion with everyone.
When Eulena* is cultured. Primarily, what amino acid could we produced?
* A genus of unicellular flagellate protists.
That...
...depends.
He said depends.
He called.
Yes.
What kind of amino acid will be produced from Euglena?
That’s what you’re asking, right?
How to produce amino acids from scratch?
Why is he saying this?
It's Euglena.
What is that?
It’s this.
Got it.
Nitta!
* Abbreviation of Glycine.
It's Glahy-seen*.
Isn't it Glahy-seen.
Glahy-seen?
Huh?
No, this is abbreviated in German.
That is...
Sorry Nitta. I read it in English, it's suppose to be glycine.
I'm sorry. I accidentally said it in English. It's glycine*, right?
* Smallest of the 20 amino acids commonly found in proteins.
Ah! Glycine.
He's angry.
Being a backup is tiring.
Chino-chan I entrust the work here to you.
Yeah.
Infiltration?
Where to?
In Stella Bio.
Stella Bio?
Yeah.
Is it a business venture in Bio-tech Industry.
It’s stock price has been increasing recently.
What are you? You do stocks as well?
Even if I don't. Anyone can tell from reading the newspaper.
I see.
If you want to become a detective, then at least study a little.
If I get serious, it will be really bad.
I doesn't understand what his saying, but he has great confidence.
Stella Bio specializes in research of Bio-technology genetic engineering.
Within the bio-company industry, it is a company with high potential.
What do we have to do in such a company?
Do a background check.
He might be my type.
I have been wondering a while, but your taste of men is weird.
The target is Mitsuoka Sasaoka–san.
Board members are discussing his promotion on the next meeting.
From a lab worker to an office worker?
Before the promotion I want you to find out...
If there is something suspicious about him.
I'm Minegishi, from the human resources department in Stella Bio.
With the request from the Director of Human Resources.
One of us will infiltrate as a researcher.
Infiltrate as a researcher?
As an intern.
Intern you say.
Okay. Go Asuka.
What?
A woman will be less suspected.
I can't do it no matter what. This face doesn't look smart.
I'm sorry, I suggested the fool amongst us.
It’s absolutely impossible.
Hold on! Hold on!
Junpei, how about you?
Me?
Certainly my face might look like a researcher.
What is a researchers face?
But for an intern. Isn’t it better for someone young to do it?
I'm saying this out of experience. Nowadays, if you have a good face, you get ignored.
You’re just an old grump.
You! Shut up!
You don't know about a man's refinement.
How about Shuntaro-kun?
It doesn't make sense.
Do well!
To be in a laboratory you need to have natural talent.
Graduate from the Department of Bio-chemistry in a good university, like Nitta.
Eh? Really?
I'm a dropout, I don't remember a thing.
I'm counting on you Nitta-kun.
Yes.
With that...
Nitta, didn't you say you were a gardener before?
That’s right.
He's clever as well.
Unlike someone else, right?
You, what did you say just now?
Recently, things that were in order are not in order anymore.
Isn’t it fine, not being in order?
President!

Don’t worry about him. He always like that?
Is that so?
I need you to keep adjusting the pH* of the cultured fluid.
* Express the acidity or alkalinity of a solution on a scale of 0 to 14.
pH?
I'm sure Inoue-kun knows it. Just a little mistake in the pH can generate a toxic substance, be careful.
Then, I'll prepare it carefully.
If you’re doing a reagent, then you can do it here.
Well...
Do you know the another approach?
Another?
Yes, indeed adjusting the ph is the right way,
But in recent ideas, other than that. Using phytoalexin* synthesis has become a trend.
* Antimicrobial substances acting as inhibitors.
If you think about it isn't this way more efficient?
Is there such an approach?
Certainly, we may discover the reverse.
As expected from a prestigious laboratory department.
Yeah, our laboratories might really have to think through.
That’s right. You say it's innovative. But looking from another perspective, I'm just an apprentice.
Speaking of Professor Yamawaki, is he doing well?
Yes, he is.
he is doing so well that it is a bother
What? I heard that last year he hurt himself and was hospitalized.
Yeah. After that, he had a miraculous recovery.
Conversely.
What kind of research is Sasaoka-san doing right now?
About God.
God?
About the god of the laboratory.
I really don't understand what he's doing.
You don't know?
Well, it's better to leave him alone.
To curse the God.
Excuse me?
What?
Is there anything I can help you with?
Who are you?
I'm Inoue. I introduced myself before.
I don't have any time.
Time?
What is he doing? Is that so?
What are you looking at?
It’s Dai-cha, isn't he cute?
Did you buy a dog because you live by yourself?
It’s not a dog, it's Dai-chan.
Don't treat Dai-chan like a dog.
It's a dog!
Seriously, stop it. Say ‘dog’ one more time, I will punch you.
Right, Dai- chan?
You did it.
What’s that supposed to mean?
Even while you are on a date you have to go home early.
You can't sleepover. But every day you’re comforted.
The result is, you will be single forever.
Can I seriously hit you?
Is m/z not five digits?
I'm sorry.
You only wrote two digits.
Look.
What?
You are such fools!
Oka Sasaoka-san that's dangerous.
It’s dangerous. It's dangerous.
Inoue will you catch the last train?
Yes.
Hey!
Here.
Finish these by tomorrow.
Yes, I will
It came. Whenever a newcomer comes, he always does that?
There's no way you can do it. It's better to just apologize tomorrow.
He really is an annoying person.
I'm leaving.
Thanks for the good work.
What I'm saying is, that this kid is different from other dogs!
Ah, you said dog!
Ahh? Dai-chan. I'm sorry, you're not a dog.
It is your fault. Apologize. I'm telling you apologize.
It is a dog.
Seriously.
Sasaoka-san left the laboratory.
Unsual, he is quite early.
Should we go?
Yup.
You will be seen like that!
What?
Pretend to be looking at the surrounding.
And when he turns the corner, run!
Wait.
Where?
Wait, hold on!
You’re mean if you don't take me! Play along.
I said I'm sorry. I wanted to see your troubled face.
No way!
What do you want to eat?
What should we eat?
How about liver?
Yeah. It is liver then, let's eat meat.
Wait a sec, let me go.
What was that just now?
Wasn't it realistic.
Which part?
Asuka your breasts are surprisingly big.
It's Asuka-san.
Welcome, despite being busy. Please, let me guide you to your seat.
Come in.
Who is he?
What to do now?
Go ahead.
Don’t hold back.
Over here.
Please take ca...
No, it's over there.
Pardon.
Please take care of me.
Wow! Strike! In the middle.
You’re cute.
What is your name?
I'm Reika.
Reika?
Your face and name are cute.
I’m often told that.
It’s cold.
If the condition not bad.
Ah. Yes.
Also, If I may have a sample of it then....
If it's possible to gain it.
Of course.
Hey! Are you listening, Rei-chan?
I’m listening...
...to the conversation there.
What? What is it?
Don’t do that, please!
Reika-san, if you please.
What?
I am sorry, please excuse me.
Wait a sec. Wait...
Oh, it's over there.
What. Yeah.
Good morning.
By the way, where's the President?
She has something to do for a few days. Thank you.
The president always disappears suddenly. Where does she go?
She has various things to do, so she's busy.
Various things?
Good. Shall we start?
Kirihara-chan.
Yes.
Did you find out who Sasaoka met?
Yes. Well, he is Shimatani Yoshihishi–san. An employer at Gene Chemical Company.
Gene chemical. They are Stella Bio's rival.
Are they trying to scout him?
Are they negotiating with sample.
Sample?
The investigation shows that his selling the research himself.
Is he allowed to take out the research by himself?
Of course it's not allowed.
The research belongs to the company.
Is money his purpose?
Sasaoka-san is an unfortunate man.
What about his family?
Nothing stands out.
His wife’s just walks the dog at the park, everyday.
I see.
Shuntaro.
Yes.
Make contact with the wife.
Me?
Wives are you strong points, right?
Well, if I have to say, then they are.
You’re not denying.
If Sasaoka-san is really planning to transfer company.
Won't his wife know.
Accompany his wife during her walk.
Why don't you do it yourself.
About that Shuntaro.
I carry a heavy burden from the past on my shoulders.
He got bitten by a dog when he was small.
Is that a reason?
You said it!
Hey, wait don't run. Daijiro!
It’s Dai-chan.
Daijiro!
Dai-chan. Dai-chan!
Excuse me.
There.
So cute. How old is it?
Turning two years old, right?
Are you newlyweds?
Yes.
I see, your husband is a researcher? That’s amazing.
It’s not such a good thing.
He is always busy with research, and almost never home.
He must be busy, right?
Even the dinner I make, always goes to waste.
I wonder if it would have been a little different if we had children.
But you have a dog, don't you?
Oh, a friend recommended it to me.
If you don't have a child, then at least buy a dog.
It might help to have a common topic as a couple.
I understand you.
But he doesn't even remember the name.
In the end he is just not interested.
About home or me.
Now, it is the only family I have left.
I told a strange stories to a newlyweds. I'm sorry.
Not at all.
Then, 'til next time.
It looks like she hasn't heard anything about his transfer.
He seems to be a cold husband.
Good morning.
Sasaoka-san
What?
This.
I made it by myself.
You alone?
Yes.
Oh. Minegishi-san! Welcome!
The investigation results are still not completed yet...
I don't mind.
I want you to tell me everything you have found out up to this stage.
Yes, uhm. We are still investigating but...
We found out that Sasaoka-san seems to have gotten in touched with Gene Chemical.
I understand.
What do you want us to do?
Please continue to investigate.
I understand.
Well. Who are you again?
Like I said, I’m Inoue.
What about lunch?
Well, I was thinking what to have.
Want to go?
What?
Don’t you eat with everyone?
Everyone?
Yeah, the researchers.
I don't need to.
Don’t need to!
Why did you come along?
Why do you ask?
To tell the truth, I'm not sure about Sasaoka–san.
But I don't hate you.
I don't mind that you're not aware of are being hated by other people.
What? I am hated?
Sorry for being rude.
I am hated.
Eh, what's wrong?
Nothing.
It is just a little different from the image I had of you.
What is?
I'm aiming for the all-you-can buffet of this store.
Yeah, it's tasty.
It is, isn't it.
The data, how did you summarize it?
Well desperately.
Liar.
I’m telling the truth.
You don't need to be desperate in research.
"Because I did it desperately I was able to finish it" That's a lie.
Then...
I guess I'm talented.
Aren't you conceited?
How is this company? Do they have a freedom of research?
Why, do you want to get a job?
I am thinking of.
But Sasaoka-san, you do your research alone. Right?
I wonder if you feel any discontent.
Discontent?
I have a lot.
I'm counting on you for the report.
First the one in-charge of the married woman...
Please stop calling it that way.
In-charge of adultery.
I hate that more.
How's the information about the wife?
There are no specific informations.
You don't have any!
Because Sasaoka-san and his wife don't seem to be talking.
It felt like she is lonely.
He doesn't even remember the name of their dog.
I see.
Then, why don't you investigate yourself?
It's your job.
How about Nitta?
Listening to the researchers it seems like there's a factional dispute within the company.
Factional dispute?
The managing director seems to be a very deep-rooted person.
Which side is Sasaoka-san?
I think he is not really in any side.
He seems to be lonesome person.
Is there a line between genius and freak.
I get along well with freaks.
What?
Unlike who gets along with married women. Getting women and pet for a case.
I'll take that as jealousy.
Try to get along, you two.
As excepted, we need to continue investigating?
If there is dissatisfaction.
I see, now it makes sense.
Huh?
I got it!
I seem to be on the roll today as well.
So, what is it?
You're asking me "What is it?".
Because it is fine like way.
The client Minegishi asked to investigate about the promotion, right?
That’s a lie!
I thought this was strange from the beginning.
Sasaoka-san is a genius researcher.
Moreover a freak.
What do you think will happen if a guy like him comes?
Indeed.
In short Minegishi-san,
Had known about the breach of trust and asked us to investigate.
Well, for the company it's better to say they are investigating for the purpose of promotion, right?
Then what will we do?
Nothing...much.
Nothing much.
We will do what they asked, and continue to investigate.
Oh. Isn't it the Personnel Director?
What you are doing? Betraying this company.
What about it?
Sasaoka!
Am I the one who changed...
...Or you?
Or both?
Ryu!
Oh!
Wow!
You really like it, don't you?
My name is Makabe Ryu. I'm a humble detective.
He is just like Shuntaro in his childhood.
Was I like that?
Yeah.
I'm back.
Welcome back.
Cold.
Welcome home, daddy.
I’m back.
Hey, you're late today.
Yes, I’m a company servant after all.
It can't be helped, you work in a good company.
Are you having dinner?
Just a little.
You also have Shota, so do your best.
I know.
You also want a promotion?
Well, I don’t know if I want to but,
I have a tough time with various stuffs.
Like what?
Like class reunions, and factional disputes.
It seems like Sasaoka-san intends to transfer.
I'm not so lenient to follow with his ideals.
Anyway, make profit as fast as you can.
We will make Sasaoka-san quit.
But of course after we received the research from him.
However.
If this matter is made public, our position will also be in danger.
Make up any reason.
I can't fire him without valuable reason.
It is your job, so do something about it.
You've come so far from the research lab.
Don't you want to climb even higher? Make a move soon.
These are the results from the investigation.
Please investigate again.
What?
Something like embezzlement, or anything is fine.
Please find out a scandal about Sasaoka-san.
Taking the research result is not scandalous enough?
That is not something the company will accept.
That means, you want to dismiss him because of another reason?
We are a detective agency.
We do not undertake such tasks.
Isn’t it fine to re-investigate?
What?
Like he said, we won't know until we investigate, right?
Thank you. I'm counting on you.
If human fights, they can win no matter what.
Excuse me.
Hey? Why did you accept?
Anything is fine as long as it is a scandal, you see?
His switch has been activated.
What’s that?
What do you think is a background check?
That is, to investigate the target and to collect personal and behavioral information.
If that is all you know, then you're an amateur.
What kind of a person he really is?
Does he have a different face?
Look at the person in different perspective.
This is what being a detective is.
What's with this fellow?
Don't scare me.
Sasaoka-san.
What are you hiding?
Are you desperate for money to even go against the company?
Yeah, I want it. Isn't it obvious?
You're lying.
You are not the type who'll go for money.
You are a funny guy.
I don't want to hear this from you.
Well, you can come this once.
He seems to have brought the same thing.
Should I do your bidding?
Yes, but don't be too violent.
It depends on his reaction.
It was produced by accident.
What was?
The new crop.
Even without water it grows well.
This can be called evolution.
No, it is an evolution.
If you can offer this crop to the world. Those who are suffering from food shortage and hunger will be eliminated.
That's great?
But, it will take more time. If I don't continue a little more then it won’t be completed.
It is time consuming and expensive.
That’s why I consulted Minegeshi.
But he betrayed me together with the Executive Director.
They are trying to sell it prior completion.
Even though it is unfinished?
A stock enterprise can use it as bio-ethanol.
The managing director made a big mistake and nearly lost billions.
They desperately trying to cover it.
To hell with them, trying to use my research for useless things.
I will never complete it.
But if you betray the company, you might lose everything.
Yes, that might be.
Have you told your family?
I have only made my wife suffer.
This time, she might complain about it.
Sasaoka-san your keeping a dog right?
What?
Understood. We will move now.
Shuntaro it's work.
What?
Nitta's assistant.
What?!
Hey! Give it!
Give it!
Huh?
You’re too slow!
Because your description sucks!
Don't blame other people!
What do you mean by saving Sasaoka-san?
We will talk later.
I have confidence in running.
Bastard! Hey! Hey!
Outta my way!
What are you doing Monkey!
You can't take other people's stuff!
What's in here?
The treasure to save the world.
Treasure?
Wait a sec. He is the one in-charge of this stuff.
You're amazing.
Bastard!
What the...
Seriously?
Nitta!
What?
You! Its Nitta-san!
Let me go!
You hold it!
No, you hold it!
Just listen and hold it!
You hold it! Nitta hold it.
I told you Nitta-san. You!
Stop that!
Ouch, it hurts! Hey, you can't do this.
Not yet, give it back!
Let's go.
What are you doing?
It was taken away!
The one pulling his legs, should do something, right?
Shut up!
But that Minegishi guy sure is desperate.
To go that far.
There is something else.
What?
I feel something different.
Hey?
What is it?
I have a request.
Did you hit your head somewhere?
Oh.
Hello.
I'm sorry for the last time. I talked to you about weird stuffs.
I have been thinking about the things you have said before.
You said, “That you have given up on your husband.”.
“Now the only family you have left is this dog.”
Yes.
But you also said, “Even if I make dinner for him it always goes to waste.”.
Would you make dinner everyday for a person,...
...you don't even consider as family?
You still think of your husband as someone important, right?
The dog's name is Niko?
How did you know?
Sasaoka-san remembered it properly.
Sasaoka-san, you keep a dog right?
What?
What is the name?
Dog?
Yes, it's Niko.
Niko?
Ah, about that, it's the 2nd month "February" and 5th day.
It's the day we had our first date.
I see.
It's funny, right?
To tell you the truth. We are detectives!
What?
Hold on.
We received a request from Stella Bio and investigated Sasaoka-san.
Sasaoka-san is in trouble. His research might get cut off.
His research?
I want you to tell me about Sasaoka-san and Minegishi-san.
Sasaoka-san.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Everything I had was taken from me. It is the work of the Executive Director.
Then, you don't have a reason to leave here, do you?
It is my punishment. Minegishi said.
To become a store keeper.
What is left for me now that the research is taken away. It's the same as quitting.
What about the remaining work?
If it is not finished, it's the same as a blank paper.
I might do it someday, somewhere, again.
Is this fine?
Just a minute. Confirm it.
Good work.
We're back.
Oh good work.
Idiot! Don’t bring a dog here!
It's not a dog. It's Dai-chan!
Shut up! A dog is a dog. Take it home!
Get the old man.
Idiot!
Oh man! It's coming, it's coming!
Did you find anything?
Minegishi-san and Sasaoka were classmates.
First they worked together in the laboratory and in research.
In those days, they were really conscious of each other.
Like that guy's way of thinking is interesting,
Or it's just my opinion.
Everything he ever talked about was about Minegishi-san.
That means...
Yes, it is the evidence that they got along well.
But after Minegishi-san left the laboratory and rose in position.
The name Menegishi was almost never mentioned by my husband.
Do you think it's completely gone now?
I wonder.
But those two seems...
...to be connected somewhere, no matter what happens.
That's how I feel.
What was the request in the first place?
To investigate Sasaoka-san's background.
To investigate Sasaoka-san properly, and then report to Minegishi, wasn't it?
That's right.
Did you guys do it properly?
What?
What I mean.
That the client is blinded by money and is trying to move to another company.
But, Sasaoka-san is not like that.
You saw his real self, right?
You saw both sides, front and back, of Sasaoka-san's real self.
Did you report this to Minegishi-san?
I'm going out for a while.
It looks interesting, so I will go too.
What's with them getting together.
A miraculous moment.
Minegishi-san.
Yes.
We came to report about Sasaoka-san investigation.
Yeah.
Sasaok-san trusted you...
As an important friend, with his important research and his important feelings.
He told everything to you.
That was done in a moment of anger.
Sasaoka-san said, even if he were to lose everything, he would like to finish his research.
You understand these feelings because you were once a scientist, right?
What you're trying to get to...
...is it the same thing as Sasaoka-san?
To see the complete research.
You have an unexpectedly warm side
I got influenced by you. It's really annoying.
I'm sorry about that.
Hey? My speed in running is faster than you.
If that's the only thing then I will hand it to you.
If we look carefully there are many other things.
What? It will be tough to find it.
Oh.
Already?
Yeah, doing well.
I was hiding it, but I'm a detective.
I see.
You're not surprised?
I somehow noticed that you’re not a person from this area.
Is that so?
But from the beginning, it might have been fate.
I-NO-UE.
You remembered at last.
But my real name is...Nitta.
Ah. Is that so.
Yes.
Sasaoka.
Do you have a second?
Yeah.
The President?
Yes.
As I brought it to the President...
This research will save the world.
"Tell Sasaoka-san, to continue with his research", he said.
But if the executive director does that then...
I went wrong somewhere.
I got affected by the heat of getting promoted.
You cooled down my head. I finally woke up.
What are you going to do from now?
I will move somewhere and start over.
Is it fine for you to be so easy going?
You as well, don't let down your guard. Once I return as a researcher.
I will become the genius Mitsuo Sasaoka-san's rival.
And cause an industry buzz.
What are you saying?
Cheers!
Excuse me, can you take our order?
Yeah.
I had infiltrated. I would have realized it sooner, right?
My bad.
You're submissive.
It is true that you worked well this time.
What? What?
As an amateur.
Don't say another word.
Come on.
Isn't it fine? Order, come order.
The President and Tsukushi-san are late, right?
Does Toko-san have a man?
I wonder?
Even if she doesn't, it's impossible for you.
Why do you have to lunge in?
Anyway, why are you sitting next to me?
I just happened to sit here.
I wonder what happened to the miraculous moment.
It was a vision, a vision.
Kirihara come quick.
Please wait.
Oh, Goto-kun!
Deputy Director. Something wrong?
Do you know about Lucky Detective Agency.
Lucky Detective Agency?
Is there anything that changed?
There's nothing illegal.
It is just an ordinary small detective bureau, I think.
I see.
Is there something wrong?
Ah, nothing. Tell me if something happens.
Yes, sir.
Excuse us.
I wonder what's that about.
No idea.
Let's go, hurry.
Coming.
Can I come in?
Go ahead. Are you not going?
It's your father's case.
