Cuticle Detective Inaba
Inaba Detective Agency
Yuuta was kidnapped?!
What do you think, Assistant?
Something's not right...
Flail Flail Flail
The fact that Yuuta-kun would be kidnapped by the goat...
The fact that the evidence of that would be sent to Ogi-san's phone...
The fact that he's dressed like a princess and completely prepared,
are so weird, I can't help but think it's a trap.
But of course we're going to worry anyway, you idiot!
My cell phone!
Sasaki Yuuta Kidnapping Case Countermeasures Headquarters
Meeting Room
In the text, it says to bring the ransom to the appointed place.
It's totally a trap, then.
I'm sure it is, but we can't just ignore it, either.
Well said, Ogi!
When you think about it,
Ogi-san has more patience tolerating Yuuta-kun than Buddha himself.
They say even Buddha loses patience after the third time...
How much is the ransom?
He's my assistant! I'll prepare it.
yen
So cheap!
Cheap!
I-na-ba-san...
I na ba san
Yuuta-kun is totally taking charge here...
How is this?!
It is indeed a fortress, it is!
So, so, what kind of trap are you going to get them with?
Is this a trap?
Don't ask after pushing the button!
What's this?
Squish
Could you... stay still for a moment?
Hey, Goat...
Are you taking this seriously?
You said you were ready to take Ogi-san down,
so I even let you kidnap me!
You'll never be able to fatally wound him at this rate!
So disappointed!
What's Noah doing?
N-Noah is busy with her research...
So this plan just involves the stupid trio of the goat, the bag, and the queen?!
Th-Three heads are better tha—
What was that, you batter-brained idiot?!
Bring the mastermind here this instant!
U-Understood!
What?
Why didn't you tell me about something that sounds so fun?!
The kidnapped princess! The western-style palace!
Fantasy!
I totally have to bring out a dragon now!
We should make the inside of the castle look like a dungeon, too!
That's awesome!
I'll have to deploy some monsters!
Could you prepare everything?
Poison works and needles will pierce through...
So his skin is sort of like steel, but maybe closer to aluminum.
But we can't cut through muscle and bone.
Guess we should give up on cutting through him.
The organ that controls his stamina is superhuman,
but maybe his immune system is rather normal?
Then, maybe acid will work.
This is like a dream...
To be able to plot the cop's murder with Yuuta like this.
I'm having a lot of fun right now, too.
Let's do our best to make Ogi-san cease to exist.
Somehow I keep hearing that one guy's voice...
Yuuta-kun! Yuuta-kun! Yuuta-kun! Yuuta-kun! Yuuta-kun!
You're late!
What the hell were you doing, you slowpoke?!
Ransom
I'm here at precisely the appointed time.
Oh, who cares about the ransom?!
Hurry up and go save Yuuta!
And you, Wolf, come out already!
What? She knew?
I heard you were coming, so I made a whole bunch of traps!
Before I knew it...
It's so full of traps that no one can get out!
Clearly, there's a fine line between genius and idiot!
What do you mean no one can get out? Who else is there?
Civilians
The Don and the weakling.
Haruka?!
I guess there's no choice. I'll call in reinforcements.
I've also set up a time bomb rigged to go off in an hour.
What the hell are you doing, you idiot?!
I guess there's no time to lose.
Do you know where the three are?
Yuuta's on the top floor and...
I think the Don and the weakling are together somewhere in between.
Let's split up into two groups.
I'll look for Haruka. I couldn't care less about the goat.
Hey!
I'm counting on you.
You'll be able to save Yuuta no matter what, right?
Wha— You two?
Why'd you follow me?
I was too worried to let you go by yourself.
Yeah.
There's nothing to worry about.
I may look like a normal werewolf,
but actually, I'm a hair fetishist!
Your fetish is just making me more nervous!
Where did the cop go? There's only one entrance.
He's probably
Climb Climb
climbing the outer wall.
But there are tons of traps outside, too!
Eh, Ogi can handle that much.
Seriously?!
Damn. I missed.
What are you doing, Assistant?
You don't have to come, Ogi-san.
I want Sensei to save me.
And it was Hiroshi who asked me to save you.
Stop being difficult and let me rescue you.
So he did...
go save his younger brother after all...
Assistant...
Ow! Hot!
Assistant! You ass!
Acid
I don't care anymore!
I'll escape on my own!
You idiot! I'm here because you can't get out...
The kidnapped princess and the dragon!
The eternal guarantee in the fantasy world!
At least give it somewhere bigger to live.
It's squished!
Go, Donragon!
Is that its name?
You actually named it.
Take this!
What?!
It's poison breath.
With a room this small, it'll fill up the room in no ti—
This is why I said to use a bigger room!
Anyway, we're getting out of here.
It's okay. You don't have to save me.
He doesn't want to save me anyway.
He cares more about his brother than his assistant.
He cares more about his partner than his assistant.
And he cares more about the black-haired assistant
than the blonde assistant.
Enough already!
Hiroshi asked me
because he believed that I was the only one who could save you.
He knew I'd have a better chance than even he would.
He picked you as the one he wanted to save the most!
Stop being a baby about it!
What the hell is that?! We can't get out!
Well, that's because it's guarding the gate!
You need to put the gate guard outside the gate!
From the left, it's Cer Ber Os!
Cer
Ber
Os
At least tweak the name a little!
Especially for Os!
Os
It should be Cer Be Ros!
Cer
Be
Ros
You know, I honestly don't give a crap about your logic right now!
Ogi!
There you are, Hiroshi. Perfect timing.
Do you know where the antidote is?
Your assistant is in danger.
Yuuta is?
What happened, Yuuta?
He inhaled Donragon's poison breath.
Hurry and heal him.
This isn't good.
They're all cracked from the chaos.
Hiroshi. Get a white hair and heal him.
I can't.
I need Yuuta to push the pressure points,
or I can't transform.
Damn it!
Curse you, Valentino!
Me?!
M E !?
Ogi, you inhaled some poison, too, didn't you?
Assistant! Wake up!
Don't give up! You're a man, aren't you?!
I'm somehow getting blamed for this?!
Beats me.
More importantly, you're a mafia boss.
Why are you freaking out?
Wake up!
It's your job!
You're Hiroshi's assistant! Show some resolve!
Yuuta!
Ow.
What is this? Sexual harrassment?
Yuuta!
Gush
Don't worry, Yuuta. I'll heal you.
I'm counting on you, Assistant!
I'm pushing a few more than usual.
Whoa, what's this extra service? I'm overflowing!
I'm super overflowing!
It really did explode.
I'm glad everyone is okay.
No kidding. It looks like Noah and the others got away, too.
Yuuta-kun, make sure you apologize to Ogi-san.
Either that or thank him.
Huh? Why are my two choices both so extreme?
It's like you're asking me if I want to drown or burn to death.
It's fine. I wasn't expecting anything.
Come on, now, Yuuta-kun. Listen to him.
I heart you, Ogi-san!
O-Ogi-san!
Ogi-san!
Ogi!
Apparently, he was petrified for an entire day.
With you guys here, it's bound to happen.
A country without false charges or suspicions.
The passionate police officer Joji
proclaims his ideals with a serious face.
I absolutely despised that about you.
Inaba Family Breakdown Case (Part One) Countermeasures Headquarters
Meeting Room
If you wish to shoot the general,
shoot the horse...
This is the meeting to plan the assassination of the invincible cop, it is.
To get to the wolf, first we must kill the cop, we must.
Dumbfounded
Think of a way the cop might die, we will.
Not dumbfounded
You fool!
I'm sorry!
So the two of you haven't fought Ogi-san head-on yet.
You've known him for a while, haven't you, Weakling?
Don't you have any useful information?
A younger brother usually only has interest in his older brother.
In what world is that usual?
Speak of the devil. Apparently, Ogi-san is here.
What?!
We must retreat!
It's a police raid, it is!
Yes?
What are you doing, Soumei-san?!
This is no time to mess around!
Let's go already.
You guys go on ahead.
I'll take care of the cop.
Do you plan on killing Yataro?!
Can you do it?
Well, whatever.
Do your best. I'll pray for your safety.
Liar.
It's like an empty shell.
Looks like they ran off.
They could be hiding somewhere.
Mmwah!
There's one! Come on, Kenmochi!
Inspector!
Damn! He's super fast!
Hold it!
Be mindful of how you handle this.
This is my vessel.
Ow...
No fair! You're totally cheating with that body of yours!
I'm going to handcuff you now, so hold still.
Maybe I'm imagining it,
but I smell something very nostalgic.
Mind if I get a better whiff?
As long as I can handcuff you.
Sniff Sniff
You're late, Kenmochi.
I came as fast as I could, but I have no idea what's going on.
What's the meaning of this, Inspector Ogino?
Why do I smell the scent of Joji on you?
What are you talking about?
Don't play dumb!
I'm talking about the stupid policeman
who blew a hole in his own head thirty years ago,
Jojima Kaoru.
You know him, don't you?
That's the name of my grandfather.
What?
What the hell?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Why are you a cop?!
I'll hear what you have to say at the station.
Can you walk?
I guess stupidity runs in the family.
Totally scored the ultimate body!
It sure feels different seeing you small, Yata.
Inspector?
Give my regards to Hiroshi.
Man, that was scary.
The gun had no effect at all.
Apparently, poisoning him is the only way to kill him.
Poison, huh? Lend me your phone.
What in the world are you doing?! Hurry up and get home!
Do you know how worried I was?!
Take better care of Yata!
Craft Scissors
Glue Stick
We're gonna kill the cop, so get the poison ready.
I'll figure out someplace to dispose of the body.
I'll call you when I decide on one, so bring it there.
I have to drink it, so make it a painless one.
So he says.
Got it!
Then, we'll head over to Noah-san's place.
If you make Yata cry, I'm going to headbutt you.
Sure thing.
I'm terribly sorry.
Don't sweat it. That's what makes Nacchan cute.
If Nacchan ended up like the rest of you as well, it'd be lonely.
Relax, relax.
What do you mean, Ogi's disappeared?
We'd like to get to the bottom of it, as well. That's why we're here.
Why are you looking at me?
Officer Kenmochi, who was with him, is unconscious and in critical condition.
Here is Officer Kenmochi's hair.
Please find out what happened to them.
You don't have to be so serious.
Just cut his bangs already. It's not like he's going to live long.
I can't do anything half-heartedly if it involves you.
You're too close.
You're supposed to look at the whole head as you cut.
Soumei-san?
Pet me. I'm feeling a little blue.
This guy says he's Joji's grandson.
Really made me realize it's been thirty years.
Is Joji-san is the police inspector
who killed himself on the night of the full moon thirty years ago?
I heard that you two didn't get along.
The heart of the police force was corrupt,
so the wolves' opposition was strong.
Purr Purr
We would act out the person-versus-wolf fight quite often.
Metropolitan Police Department
At the time, even if someone was faced with false charges,
they would win if they could just get them to confess.
Out of all of the corrupt cops who believed that
all you needed to do to get a confession
was rough them up a little and guide them along,
was one inexperienced guy who didn't subscribe to that.
That was Joji.
Don't worry, they'll never find out.
I got rid of all of the evidence.
All I have to do is keep crying.
Hey, I'm gonna butt in.
What are you doing here, Soumei?
What do you mean? I'm here to help.
Pardon me.
Hey, you!
What are you—
Here you go.
The victim's blood is on the bottom of her shoe.
Sorry that I butted in.
Wait! How'd you know that?
Smell. I have a good nose.
Welcome to being a detective,
Assistant Inspector Jojima.
To welcome you, I'll let you in on a little secret.
The suspect's panties were black.
Who are you?!
During the eighteen years he was with me,
Joji was yelling a lot.
A rock as the murder weapon should be fine.
Place something that matches the wound at the scene.
The plan is to find it after the suspect's confession.
What did you use as your murder weapon?
Was it a rock?
A rock? It might have been.
Whoa, you okay there?
Soumei-san.
You two, clean that up for her.
I'm sorry, Soumei-san.
I guess I fail at being a Secret Doberman.
Don't worry about it. Everyone's like that at first.
Throwing up from the stench of lies
only proves your brilliance.
It's worse than usual today.
Have the ones with heightened senses of smell and hearing wait outside.
Right.
But I wanna stay with you, Soumei-san.
Don't get in the way, kid. It's getting good.
You have the best nose, don't you, Soumei-san?
How are you okay?
That's because I'm special.
Soumei!
And here comes the loud one.
You're full of energy as usual, Joji.
Is it true that you sent my daughter high heels?!
I thought I'd help her out since she was turning into a fine young woman.
Don't you dare lay a hand on my daughter!
What's going on?
You wouldn't understand.
My comrades were starting to break under the storm of lies.
I had planned to tough it out.
Soumei-san! Please come quickly!
Soumei-san.
I told you not to take information from blood...
Your mouth is all sticky.
Am I going to be disposed of?
No! Save me, Soumei-san!
I'm sorry.
Send me, then.
You be the one to dispose of me, Soumei-san!
Sounds good.
I'd like to request that, as well.
Thank goodness!
You can go in peace if it's Soumei-san.
Please, Soumei-san.
I toughed it out again, and again...
and before I knew it, I was only holding myself up.
Wha—
Why are you dressed like that?
They're burial clothes for Soumei-san.
The lives of us Secret Dobermans belong to Soumei-san.
Humans only understand things that they can see.
Do you understand who's the only one who can order us around now?
Soumei, did you order this?
Have them stop this right now!
Hey, Joji. You're as energetic as ever.
Did you decide on your grandson's name?
Stop fooling around!
The wolves, lately, only listen to you and refuse to comply with humans.
We should be working together as forces who uphold justice.
Joji.
Do you still not understand that the police department
is the criminal organization?
Seriously, I guess your stupidity never changes.
So the reason is the police force itself?
Because I had believed in your nose,
I was able to go up in the ranks myself.
And that's exactly why, if there's any corruption among the police,
I should be the one who takes care of it.
Joji had believed in both the wolves and the police force.
And that's why they levied false charges against him,
saying that he was an old man who had gone mad.
He had believed in them so much that the shock was unbearable.
He wrote his suicide note, and that was the end.
There was a suicide note?
I didn't read it that well, so I don't really remember.
Please forgive me, Soumei.
I didn't realize how sad it must have been
to not be able to gain anyone's trust.
His testimony lacks credibility.
I didn't know how difficult it was to hold on to the truth while living among lies.
The witness actually believes that werewolves exist.
Up until then, I had thought that we were equals.
It is hard to believe that he is in the right state of mind.
I had no idea you were holding all of that in
You all feared their abilities and never trusted them,
yet you're going to use them here?
and dealing with it on your own.
The court finds the defendant guilty.
Ignorance worthy of death.
I can't imagine the world through your eyes, but...
You did it, didn't you?!
Hurry up and confess!
How did you come to that conclusion?
There was a suicide note!
Next time, I'd like to see things the way you do.
Next time...
Let's be partners.
Let's be partners...
Such a thing doesn't exist.
No matter how much I may be in the way,
there is no justification in throwing that away.
I'm telling you there's no suicide note.
Don't lie!
Do you know how wolves hunt?
It doesn't matter how big the prey is,
the pack will chase it.
They'll chase it all night if they must.
If the first pack tires out, the next pack takes over.
What are you talking about?! Stop talking nonsense!
They wear out the prey and then go in for the kill.
You are now
my prey.
It's a bit small, but it should fit.
How's the cement coming?
Are you sure you're okay with this?
You're so nice, it's tiring.
I'd even kill Joji at this point if he got in the way.
I have no hesitations.
I will kill Ogino here.
So, you followed the scent here.
You may be rotten, but you're definitely my kid.
I'm not going to forgive you for this,
Soumei!
Next Time: "Inaba Family Breakdown Case (Part Two)" "Love Flag Jumble Case"
All right, I'll begin the healing process.
Wait! I'm first!
Hey, now. Wait your turn!
You were watching the Inaba anime on your phone?
You shouldn't be watching that.
I'm sorry. I won't do it again.
