They'll get along for sure!
They'll get along well, right,
Grandpa?
Even saying that. . . Please. . .
Next time: The Great Nighttime Manhunt.
Be waiting !
Welcome!
Please place your order.
lce Coffee.
Order whatever you like.
But. . .
lt's been a while, so don't hold back!
Come on! lf you don't hurry, l'll change my mind !
Practical training?
At last!
At first, l was only allowed to ride along in the helicopter as an observer.
Maia. How about you?
Neres, right?
Are you used to working there?
Let's see. . .
What's wrong?
Umm. . . l guess it's okay.
Maia. . .
Let's work together next year!
Okay!
Let's go! l'll give you a ride in the car.
You bought one?
Even at the Ocean Agency, the starting
salary isn't enough to buy my own car.
l'm going home to see my parents, so l got a rental car.
l see.
Huh?
What's wrong?
lt's not here. . .
The car's not here!
What type is it?
An F-98 Red.
l'm sure l parked it somewhere in here. . .
Story 6. The Great Nighttime Manhunt.
You idiot! Why'd you just suddenly punch him !?
lt's cause you whipped out your gun!
Were you planning on killing our prey?
Ah?
He's a tough one.
Hurry!
lf you don't hurry up and open the door. . .
How're you gonna make up for this?
You wanna go at it?
Get in !
What the hell are you doing?!
l told you not to use the gun.
Don't you learn?
What was that?!
You in the car, stop!
Damn it! Why right now. . .?
Hey! Speed up!
lnspector. . . They're not stopping . . .
l can see that!
lt might be them !
Hey! Call for support!
This is car 65.
We're currently in pursuit of a stolen vehicle.
The target is escaping toward the font of Akisukiba.
Request immediate backup!
This is the situation from the air. We have found the target.
The target is escaping via the new Reiku river toward Akisukiba.
Hey. Pull up to their side.
Yes, sir!
You in the car, stop! !
Hey! Don't you understand that l'm ordering you to stop!?
lf you don't stop now, l'll stop wasting my breath and open fire!
lnspector! Don't lean on. . .
Theft of a rental car. . .
Then, please fill this out.
Cheer up, Tsukasa!
A present. . .
l bought it for my parents. . .
lt was my first pay, so. . .
lt was in the back seat. . .
NO WAY!
We can't go this easy on them !
But it wasn't t theft after all. . .
We wrote a letter of apology
and we also paid the bail, so it's okay, right?
Yes.
No! No bail!
lnspector!
This is out of your jurisdiction !
Let me go!
Jeez. . .The two of you couldn't even bring home a runaway. . .
lt's her fault!
She's the one who
locked the key inside
and broke the window!
Shall l crush you for that useless remark?
What was that?
You wanna go at it?
Clam down, you two. . .
What's with them. . .? How vulgar!
Oh, if it isn't Maia !
Yo. What are you doing here?
Weren't you on vacation today?
These people wouldn't' be Neres, would they?
Yeah. . .
What's wrong?
Some kind of trouble?
Umm . . .
My friend's rental car was stolen. . .
What? A rental car?
Again?
So it was them . . .
Yeah.
lnspector Yagi, do you have a moment?
What!?
l'm not giving you any information!
lnspector Yagi.
Using sex appeal again. . .
l won't fall for the same thing another time!
Maia. . .Let's work together next year, okay?
Okay.
A specialist in stealing rental cars, eh?
There've already been eight cases this month.
The lD checks are less detailed than they are for privately owned cars.
The crimes take advantage of that.
So the criminal feels he's doing things well.
Yes, but the problem begins there.
Even with rental cares, hacking the system will take at least 90 minutes.
How long were you at the cafe's terrace?
Mmm . . . .About 30 minutes.
Quite short. . .
And, due to losses, Dolphin Rental Cars had an anti-theft system installed.
What's with this?
What a silly device!
But, there were no witnesses at the
crime scene where the shameful event occurred. . .
ln other words, the culprit bypassed the lD check system and calmly
escaped . . .without damaging the car, all in a short time.
Either that or they loaded it onto a large trailer or something . . .
Regardless, it was the work of a professional.
Thanks to Dolphin Rental Cars, we obtained two vehicles.
We're gonna use them as bait to find the criminal group!
Hold on a minute!
Who is the client here?
Who's paying the reward?
There's no need to worry about that.
Someone from a theft insurance company which has
a contract with Dolphin rental Cars came to negotiate.
lf we return all the stolen cars,
we'll get a reward of 500,000 Rima!
Well, let's go!
l guess l'm the only one left out again. . .
Brach Manager!
How long do you plan to stay here?
Okay!
Come on!
Hurry!
You're fine without changing , aren't you. . .?
Shut up.
Any movement?
Nothing right now. . .
l wonder if they'll show up.
This is a pretty unpopulated area. . .
The crimes were focused around here. . .
This point shouldn't be bad.
l guess we just wait patiently. . .
The night is long.
Yuu, any problems there?
There's just one.
There's an idiot next to me.
What was that!?
Why do l always have to team up with her?!
You know we don't get along !
That's exactly why.
You two were away form work for a while. . .
Even thought you're back into it, a little motivation to work together. . .
should be good.
How can you reason like that!?
Umm. . . Rena-san. . .
l know why you Gloria-san and Yuu-san together, but why do l have to be here?
l'm not even half as good as they are yet. . . l should stay with you and
Shizuka-san to learn more and then. . .
The stars sure are pretty, aren't they?
Please don't move!
Who're you?
You're the guy from . . .
What great luck!
An unexpected catch !
Hey.
Where are you going?
lsn't it obvious? l'm taking him and going back.
Right now, it's more important to find the car thieves.
Umm . . .
Our last job's right here!
There's a 5,000 Rima reward for him, too.
Umm. . . Don't fight. . .
Gloria-san.
Just get out of the way!
l'm done with you for today. l've decided that.
lf Rena hadn't ordered me, l'd kick your ass right now!
How commendable of you.
Umm. . .You two are partners, so try to get along . . .
l'll let you go for today.
lf you wanna go at it, l'm ready at any time.
See ya !
Gloria-san!
Umm. . .Yuu-san. . .
l'm going back.
Thanks for your help!
Jeez. . . Don't give me so much trouble!
l' m sorry, dear.
lf we trace the crime sense in chronological order, we see the. . .
territory expanding from here.
So, we must take the initiative.
Today, Shizuka and l will be here.
Gloria, Yuu, and Maia will be on the other side of the river a this point.
Any questions?
l don't have enough confidence to be with Gloria-san and Yuu-san.
Gould you please change the groups?
Refused.
l won't listen to any complaints about the composition of the teams.
This is a business decision.
En . . .
Why are you going to all the trouble of putting Maia with those two?
And an undercover police officer had disappeared due to this incident.
Although he was found three days later, he was greatly wounded . . .
and is still. . . unconscious.
lf there's an emergency, l'm not sure whether we could protect her or not.
But, with those two. . .
Wouldn't she be in more danger?
The stars are pretty again tonight.
That sorta thing really ticks me off!
Gloria-san!
l'm not gonna shoot.
l don't care! l just hope they appear soon!
'Cause then l'll stoop them with one shot!
Gloria-san!
lt's okay.
Rena told her not to beat me.
Although she's really strong, she's just a dog .
Unless ordered by her master, she can't do a thing .
So you're finally ready?
lf so what'll you do?
l figured we'd eventually have to settle things.
Please stop it, you two!
We're on the job right now, so you shouldn't fight with each other. . .
ls there anything you'd like to say before you die?
l'll inform Rena of your last words.
That's it!
Hurry up!
lf you're okay, then contact Rena!
Could it be?
lt seems you figured it out.
You two are. . .
As your may have guessed , we are car thieves.
Tadah Special memory plastic.
Correct.
How is it over there?
This is the wrong one.
Ah?
He's carrying soybeans.
Soybeans?
lt's gonna blow!
The bikes. . .
We were barking up the wrong tree.
A crime against food predication carries a heavy penalty. . .
Probably more than two years.
Humans sure are interesting . . .
Just a simple change in color, and they think their car has been stolen.
While she's going to the police or rental car company, we change the color.
l think that stealing cars is a bad thing to do!
Saying that is about as obvious as saying that the ocean is vast. . .
l was sure it was a professional who was stealing them so quickly.
A professional?
We make them think we hack the systems in a few minutes.
Trace it.
l'm dong that already.
Where?
Let's see. . .The exterior waterways, near the Kinsei Bridge.
Yuu ! Gloria !
Are you in trouble, baby?
Yeah, l'm in trouble.
What do you do with the stolen cars?
We remodel and sell them .
We like to tinker with them a lot, too.
Shall we play around with her like the police officer from the other day?
Sure. Let's remodel her, too!
lnto a girl you'll enjoy?
lnto a girl we'll both enjoy.
That's why l love you!
Not there. . .
l'm driving right now!
l wonder where. . .
No clue.
Just you wait, girlie.
All right! well caught up!
l'm exhausted.
Umm . . .Thank you very much !
Don't worry about it.
Well, buy me some grub next payday.
Sure. . .with pleasure.
lf you move, l'll blow here head off.
Wow. . .
That's it.
How dare you get in your way?!
This is the Ocean Aency!
Throw down the gun and raise both hands!
This is the Ocean Agency!
Throw down the gun and raise both hands!
Maia?
The Ocean Agency beat us there.
We're the ones who capture the criminals.
We'll be taking the reward .
But half of it'll disappear when we pay for those cars
we borrowed from Dolphin. . . Rental Cars.
l hope the stars are pretty again tomorrow night!
l was shocked !
l didn't' expect to find you there!
Are you doing such dangerous jobs everyday?
Not everyday. . .
But you were great!
Grabbing the criminal's gun and such. . .
Oh, that. . .
l only grabbed it after he dropped it.
Thank you, Maia.
Since you helped get the car back, l
can finally give this to my parents.
What a nice song . . .
What' it called?
What are you saying?
lt's Omoide no Corral of course!
lt was popular about seven to eight years ago.
Sorry!
lt's okay.
More importantly,
let's work together next year.
Only if you don't have a change of heard about Neres.
l won't!
l wonder about that. . .You seem pretty used to it.
Jeez, you're so mean!
lt's me, Maia!
Grandpa, l'm not having a change of heart!
Even though Tsukasa was saying that,
my goal is still the Ocean Agency.
Next year for sure!
What's wrong, Branch Manager?
Your daughter is. . . coming to visit Neres for a school assignment.
Wow, how nice. . .
ls tha okay, Branch Manager!?
Next time:
All That, Papa!
Look forward to it!
