KUI TAN File 9: Rice Ball of Tears. Itadakimasu at the Masked Ball!
Takano-san!
Kuitan!
It's going to explode!
But he's..
Ryosuke-kun.
Where's Yuuki?
What's wrong?
He's at the police station, isn't he?
Ryosuke-kun!!
That bastard...
Dolis + Knark52nd...and...wtf?! Random Emotion?!?!
I see..
He's still missing..
Oh, Noda-kun.
You tricked us.
I have nothing to do with this.
You made Takano-san...
Hey, knock it off.
You..!!
Noda-san.
You called us to the warehouse.
That was a fake mail, I didn't send it.
That's a lie.
It's true.
Why would I have to kill you?
Because you're with the drug organization!!
Don't misunderstand.
Well, calm down, Noda-kun.
We're trying our best to find him.
Let's pray Kuitan is safe.
Yea?
A few days later.
It's kind of quiet.
Was our office always this big?
Oh yea, because Kindaichi is gone, that noisy kid, yea?
We can't see him ever again?
Hey, Ryosuke-kun.
I can't see Takano-san..
Anymore?
He's Takano Seiya.
He's Kuitan.
He's gonna come back here like nothing happened.
Really?
Yea.
Did you find Takano-san?
This is all we found.
Why did this happen..
For the drug runners, Kuitan was very troublesome.
The case where they tried to make it look like domestic homicide..
He found out that it was about drugs.
And that warehouse.. Our narcotics agents were going to search it the next day.
The organization tried to eliminate the proof of drugs and Kuitan by explosives.
Just as I thought...
Police information leaked.
I can't deny it.
Yuuki...
We can't confirm that.
You don't really believe that, do you?
Kuitan..
Didn't mean to hunt down the drug runners..
He was only interested in food..
But because his tongue is so sensitive.. He..
He..
Igarashi.
Don't cry.
These two are hurting the most.
"Hello."
Hajime-kun came back.
"Hello, everyone."
"I'm home..."
There you are.
Oh, Momo-chan, and Dad, too.
I brought a lot of souvenirs.
Ryosuke-kun..
That can't be true.
It's a lie, right?
Hajime-kun.
Hey.. Hey.. Hey, Ryosuke-kun.
It's a lie, right?
- It's a lie, right?? - Kindaichi!
It's true.
No... No..
I can't...
No.. Kyoko-san.
Yuuki...
Well then, I'm going back to the main department.
I'm really sorry about Takano-san.
Who the hell are you? Don't just come in.
I'm sorry.
Where did that bastard go?
This isn't the amount we agreed on.
If you don't like it, you can quit.
I can arrest you, you know.
Are you going to tell them you're a dirty rat spy?
Which one do you think the police would believe?
We have a lot of traps.
Mr. Rat.
Let's be friends.
When's the next transaction?
Do the police know anything?
I think they'll make a move soon.
So, when is the next transaction?
Don't ask me unnecessary questions!
You don't need to know that!
What's going on?
Is it true?
Yea.
I don't want to believe it, though.
I don't think he's a person that could die like that.
I don't think so either.
Let check out Holmes.
That person...
Takano-san?
Takano-san, right?
And you are...?
Who?
It'd be impossible for you to trail Yuuki-san.
He's a pro.
Kyoko-chan do you have any good ideas?
Doesn't this seem like a lot?
I thought Takano-san was here, so I steamed a lot of rice.
But if I make riceballs, you can pick one up and eat it whenever you'd like.
Itadakimasu.
It's hot.
You have to form them while they're hot.
But it's good. I've never had a hot riceball.
They're good cold, too.
Can I make some, too?
Have you done it before.?
Nope. How do you form them?
First of all, you have to wash your hands well.
They'll get clean as I make the riceballs.
Ryosuke-kun...
Yes ma'am.
Delicious!
Ok, get your hands wet.
Get your hands wet.
Get some salt.
Grab some rice.
Then put your favorite filling inside.
Ok.
How is it?
It's good for your first time.
Really?
The Commemorative Maiden Taste.
Kyoko-chan, please eat it.
Itadakimasu.
What's with the reaction?
It's salty. You used too much salt.
Sorry.
This much?
A little more than that.
More?
This much?
Yea, that much.
Salt is difficult, isn't it?
Yes.
What filling do you like?
I like ones without anything in them.
I like just rice and salt.
Really?
Without anyone to eat them...
It's kind of sad...
Kyoko-chan.
I'll try my hardest.
Emergency!!!
What's wrong, Kindaichi?
He...He's alive!!
Look! Takano-san!
Takano-san!
Somethings not right.
Seems like he has amnesia.
Amnesia?
For real?
Excuse me.
What's your name?
Iberia Iberico.
Iberia Iberico?
Iberico...that pork from Spain?
He says he's a dancer.
Dancer?
Excuse me.
You're Takano Seiya-san, right?
Nope.
You're Takano Seiya!
You really don't remember?
Takano..Seiya?
Yea...Get with it!
Sit down!
Sit here!
Takano-san came here from France to whip this office back into shape.
Because he was asked by the owner.
France?
Yes.
Owner?
Yes.
You've been to other places as well.
China, Brazil, Spain.
Spain?
No good.
Kindaichi, go get 'that.'
Ok!
Here. Catherine.
You brought that here.
Play it.
If you play it, you might remember.
This is the bow.
That's Ok, you can stop.
Kyoko-chan, we have no other option but that.
Understood.
Hold it.
This way, please.
You can eat all of these.
Takano-san, you have the other one, right?
Here it is!
Here.
Kuitan..this..
This is it!
Please watch.
Kuishinbo Tantei...
Shortened...
Kuitan!
Shakin~!!
Shakin~??
No...
Eat them please.
What are they?
They're riceballs.
We have so many...
And you can eat them all!!
Eat it!
This guy doesn't say "Itadakimasu."
Takano-san, please remember.
Before I met you, I had no interest in cooking.
But because you ate so much...
I started to cook in order to save money.
It was a pain at first.
But you always told me it was delicious.
Delicious?
Yes.
Hearing that, I wanted you to eat more delicious foods.
Not just you.
Ryosuke-kun...
Hajime-kun...
They always ate like it was delicious.
It made me happy.
So I want to get better at cooking...
And hear people say "delicious."
Please excuse me.
Takano-san.
Hold on a second, please.
I think you'll get hungry later tonight.
When you do, please eat these.
Takano-san.
Where are you staying?
Grand Cabaret Paris.
Paris?
Paris...
That's rare..
For you to watch a performance.
That man.
He's pretty good, yea?
A few days ago, he was dancing at a park.
That man is Kuitan.
Kuitan?
The man who was interfering with our operation.
Do you have a minute?
We've met before, haven't we?
I don't remember.
I'm sorry.
It's nothing to apologize about.
When did you start dancing?
Where?
You don't remember?
You're not going to eat?
Riceballs?
It would be nice if I could reset my life like you did.
Reset?
Thanks for the riceball.
I've done a lot of research on it.
Faint smells and sounds can bring back someone's memory.
Besides that, we can also repeat the shock that made him lose his memory.
Another powder explosion?
I got it! Let's push him into the ocean!
Iberia Iberico-san.
I'm hungry.
Is there anything to eat?
Yes.
Kuishinbo Tantei.
Shortened.
Kuitan!
You got your memory back?
Yes.
Kuitan has returned!
Yes.
Let's do this part carefully..
Here you are.
Itadakimasu.
Delicious!
Great.
It's because of your riceballs.
They're great cold, too.
This is horrible.
Oh, I probably did that.
Ryosuke-kun...
They're too salty.
I didn't know how much salt to use.
That's "anbai." (Fortunate.)
Anbai?
Yes.
You write the characters for 'salt' and 'plum' and it becomes anbai (fortunate).
Salty and sour are balanced.
With the right amount and right balance, the riceballs become delicious.
Salt is the most essential thing on this planet.
Things without salt, are literally tasteless.
It can become the most foul tasting thing.
No matter how good the ingredients are, too much salt in it...
Will make it inedible.
It's important to know how to use it.
It's really the same old Takano-san.
Delicious.
This one's bad.
Delicious.
Hajime-kun.
I made you worried.
Takano-san.
Takano-san!
Takano-san!!
Oh yea. I ran into that good looking guy at Paris.
Yuuki?
Yes.
Where you were dancing?
Yes.
I wonder why I met him?
Back when I stalked him, I lost him at around that area.
What if that club has something to do with the drug organization?
I just had a good idea.
That's right! Takano-san.
Pretend you've still got amnesia and see how Yuuki's related to the Paris club.
What? No way!
Why not? We were almost killed by Yuuki!
Let's tear apart the drug organization!
Well...ye..yes..
B-b-but...
Why don't you want to?
That place.
Has horrible food.
That's your reason?
Also, I'm not the best at the splits over there...
If you don't dance, it'll be suspicious.
She's right.
Get on Yuuki's tail.
Alright then. We'll include a riceball lunchbox.
With Iberico Pork!
Let's dance!
Lunchbox, lunchbox.
I'm so happy.
Oh! Ryosuke-kun you liar..
There's no Iberico Pork in here at all!
(*> <) (*> <)
Hello.
Hello....
Do the police know anything about tomorrow's deal?
Judging by the amount of patrolling happening.
They know that a big deal might be going down pretty soon.
But they have no proof of it.
Not even of my involvement?
Of course. If any information arises, I'll destroy it.
The deal is happening at "R."
Understood. "R."
Thanks!
Everyone, here's a snack. Please eat it.
Itadakimasu~!
Oh, sushi!
Looks delicious.
It's delicious.
Oh, it looks so good...
Iberico, aren't you going to eat?
No, I don't eat.
What's wrong?
It's delicious.
Oh, it's so delicious!
It hurt.
To see such delicious looking sushi right in front of my eyes, but not being able to eat it...
I've never had such a painful memory in all my life.
I don't have to go back to Paris, do I?
It's too dangerous, you don't have to go.
Ok.
It's good you were alive.
Yes.
But was it really amnesia?
Yes.
What did it feel like to lose your memory?
I don't remember.
Wha-?
Sorry.
But because of it, we were able to discover that a deal is going down tomorrow.
Did they mention a place and time?
All I know is that it's a place called "R."
"R"?
"R.."
Kyoko-chan, do we have seconds? (Okawari "a-ru" [R]).
Just kidding.
Knark52nd and Dolis. - Contributions by Random Emotion.
I'm the proprietor of this club. My name is Eileen.
It was a wonderful show.
I wanted to tell you how impressed I was.
It was great, Momo.
Our daughter Momo loves dancing.
Xie xie.
"I must delight to see our female guests are enjoyed here."
"You seem to have a lot of business for your age."
"And so beautiful."
"Thank you."
"Oh, still not enough yet."
"Well, enjoy yourself."
"Thank you."
Why are the police at this club?
Let's cancel tomorrow's deal.
I can't do that.
But..!
You're not going to answer?
Answer it quickly!
He's not picking up.
He was in there, right?
Inspector Ogata, what do we do?
What are we doing?
Igarashi...
Yes?
Shut up.
I can't permit something like that.
Yuuki being involved with the drug organization has been confirmed.
And the evidence?
Instinct.
It's not instinct.
They're only your assumptions.
Then grant us a warrant to search Yuuki's house for that evidence.
I'll tell you directly.
I can't do that.
You're doubting a narcotics agent.
Do you understand what that means?
What are you saying?
Listen up.
Ok?
Even if he's involved with drugs... If you dig around his place...
We won't be able to dismantle the drug organization that's backing him.
If that happens, how will you claim responsibility?
I'll resign.
What?
Excuse me.
Igarashi.
Yes, sir?
Watch Momo-chan.
Yes, sir.
It's gotta be R from the alphabet.
In Chinese...1, 2, 3...
Is "yi, er (R), san..." right?
The number 2?
If I do a search on the number 2, I'll get too many results.
Dammit, what the hell is "R"?
I'm back!
Welcome back!
Banquet!
Ryosuke-kun, Kyoko-chan.
Hajime-kun found some great information.
You know where the deal is taking place?
I don't know.
Look at this.
Luxurious Tour of Port Yokohama...
Royal Wing's Grand Tasting Banquet.
So what the hell is it?
Luxurious food from the Chinese Shinchou Era [AKA Manchu Dynasty- during the Qing dynasty when China was ruled by the Manchu: The last imperial dynasty of China].
Yup.
Delicious food from all over China will be there.
Three days of nonstop eating!
Yo, Kindaichi, even I know that.
So when was the Shin Period(Manchu Dynasty)?
What?
1644.
Correct.
Anyways, Kyoko-chan.
Make the reservations.
Ok.
Look.
Beef dish
Fish...
Ok I get it!!
So you're saying the deal tomorrow is happening there?
I just said I don't know.
So go back there and ask.
What is "R"?
There's no way they'd tell me.
What are you thinking?
"What's R?"
"So this 'R' you're talking about..." They'd never tell me.
Anyways, sponsor of the banquet is coming from Hong Kong...
To make good food!
I want to eat!
Ok.
Too bad, they're booked.
But if it's the regular buffet, we can get in, so I made reservations.
Buffet?
All you can eat, right??!!
Kyoko-chan, we're being too carefree here.
It looks delicious.
Right!
Buffet~
Jeez...
This looks delicious!
This is it!!
This.
Hello.
Everyone, all together now!
Knock it off, it's embarrassing...
Captain! We're excited to be here!
Kuitan-san?
Yes, I'm Kuitan.
We're always hearing about your achievements.
Thank you very much.
Everyone, let's go.
Hello.
Alright...
I really like these..
It looks good.
I wonder where Takano-san is..
He's probably trying to sneak into the Grand Banquet Room.
He never gives up, does he.
Come to think of it, where's Ryosuke-kun?
He seemed pretty fired up...
Where is that guy?
Where's the banquet?
Here?
This way?
Grand Banquet...
I'm sorry sir, our reservations are full for today.
Can I just smell?
My apologies.
Sir...
- Please. - Ok.
Yuuki...
Good job.
It looks delicious..
It's still raw..?
This is wonderful.
Itadakimasu.
Hey!
My apologies.
Well if it isn't Yuuki-san...
So you got your memory back..
Where am I? Who am I?
Ryosuke-kun!
Go right.
Where's the transaction taking place?
Is it in the Grand Banquet Room?
I don't know.
They didn't tell you?
What the...
You're just being conveniently used, then.
So who wants to be shot?
What do you mean?
I'm going to kill someone and use him as a weight to drown the other.
Shoot Ryosuke-kun, then.
You're supposed to try and spare me!
Rather than being shot, I want to drink the ocean water and die.
You'd eat and drink as you're being killed as well?!
Shut up.
Hold on, please.
It's such a nice, salty smell.
Full of minerals.
What are you saying?
The ocean is the basis of all life.
Born from the ocean, die from the ocean...
Not bad...
I'll fire when the horn goes off again.
Let's stop this, Yuuki-san..
Come to think of it, Yuuki-san...
Those riceballs you ate in the waiting room that day, weren't they salty?
Those riceballs...
Were made with feelings by Ryosuke-kun and Kyoko-chan.
The one you ate...
Ryosuke-kun made it.
So what?
Ryosuke-kun...
It was his first time...
Not knowing the balance, made them really salty.
I'm sorry, I didn't know how much salt to use.
But you...
You ate it like there was nothing wrong.
In the beginning, you could taste things normally.
But you lost your sense of taste, gradually.
So you like things that are really salty.
Those really salty, inedible riceballs from long ago...
You grew accustomed to eating them.
Are you talking about my involvement with the drug organization?
Salt by itself isn't anything fun.
We use it to bring out the deliciousness of food.
Yuuki-san.
Not the salt...
But do you enjoy the taste of rice?
You thought so too.
If there's something to return to, you'd want to return to it.
Yuuki-san..
I understand.
Go ahead.
Shoot me.
This is Yuuki-san.
I've disposed of them.
Good job.
You have fun, too.
Let's begin.
Here you go.
Welcome everyone.
Have as much fun as you'd like.
Let us commence with the masked ball.
This is delicious.
Put salt on it and eat it.
Where is the transaction taking place?
Why do you want to know?
No reason.
1, 2, 3...
I'll tell you where.
Yuuki-san!
Yuuki-san! Get a grip!
Poison...He drank poison.
Poison?!
Mei Ling...
Ryosuke-kun.
Salt! We need salt!
- Make some salt water! - Hurry!
Come on, Yuuki-san!
Ryosuke-kun, hurry up!
Yuuki-san!
Here.
Yuuki-san, drink this!
Hurry!
Forget me, the drugs...
Just drink this and throw it up!
The deal is going to be at the kitchen...
The drugs are there...
The kitchen.
Ryosuke-kun!
Someone, more water! Make more water!
Yuuki-san, drink this!
Hurry.
Throw it up! Hurry, throw it up!
Let me die.
If I die, I can reset.
Humans can reset while still alive!
Yuuki-san, hurry up and drink!
Drink, Yuuki!
Yuuki-san!
Hurry.
Hurry. Let's go.
Good evening.
Didn't see that...
Pistols again?!
I shouldn't have come!!
Backflip..
Me too!!
Nah!
One: I eat more than anyone else.
Two: I left home.
Three: Famous to everyone.
Kuishinbo Tantei.
Lin, get over here.
Do that, do that!
Grab them, grab them!
I can't today.
You just made light of food...
More than that, you're making light of peoples' lives.
I cannot forgive that!
Ryosuke-kun..
They have no more bullets.
Let's do this.
Let's hurry up and do this...
I'm sorry.
Are you Ok?
Are there bullets in that?
Don't move.
Ryosuke-kun!
Momo-chan!
Drop your weapons.
If you don't we'll shoot.
Go ahead.
But these guys will die, too!
You drop your weapons!
Just drop your weapons!
I'll shoot!
I said shut up and drop it!
You drop yours first!
Drop it!
No!
Shut up and drop it!!
Momo-chan, it's Ok now.
Igarashi arrest them!
Roger!
Criminals arrested!
Good work.
Inspector Ogata.
Igarashi!!!
I'm sorry!
Get up!
Ryosuke-kun.
Takano-san!
When I go like this, it gets bigger!
Please enjoy your meal.
Thank you very much!
That was amazing.
Oh man I'm hungry.
What have you two been doing?
Ryosuke-kun, explain...
Alright.
Food...where's the food?
Over there.
I can finally eat!
Hair...There's hair in here..
What the- There's nothing left!!
My apologies. We put everything away 10 minutes before docking.
Are you Takano-sama?
Yes.
There's a note for you.
If you'll excuse me.
"The owner is on his way back."
"He's waiting in room 110."
"Please don't tell the other members."
This way?
This is the place..
You're...
Yo Kuitan, once again you've done something huge!
Thank you.
You're a prince, now.
That's unnecessary, thank you.
Agent Yuuki's life was saved.
Really? That's great.
Where's the owner?
He wasn't able to come.
He told me to relay a message.
But.."The owner is on his way back."
The person who wrote this...
I wrote it.
So this message...
That, that..
He's prepared a grand banquet to last 3 days and 3 nights and he's waiting for you.
I'll be there!
Where?
Hong Kong.
Hong Kong?
Yes.
The drug organization's head man is in Hong Kong.
Go there immediately.
Immediately?
You've finally become comfortable in Holmes Agency.
You were finally getting along with Momo-chan, as well...
It's a real shame.
But the owner is in need of you.
Your sense of taste.
Your sense of smell.
And your appetite.
Your flight is tonight.
Tonight?
Tonight...
Is it true Takano-san's disappeared?
He hasn't contacted you, either?
No.
He wasn't able to eat at the buffet yesterday...
What the...
What's going on here?
Holding hands?
Well...
You two going out?
Yes.
Rei-chan, don't...
You'll make Ryosuke-kun feel sorry...
Let's go.
What's that supposed to mean?!
Kyoko-chan...
Kindaichi's getting along great.
Let's get together.
Nope.
Nope...
But something's bugging me.
I don't get it neither.
Why are you two so damn close?
Not that.
I had a weird dream last night.
A dream about Takano-san?
Yea.
Actually...I had one too...
No way..
I had one too.
What...really?
Really!
I wonder why Takano-san was in it.
What if.. We had the same dream?
What if...
Yea!
Thank you everyone for everything.
Farewell.
Be well.
Away!!!

A pretty surreal dream, wasn't it?
I wonder why we all had the same dream?

Hello.
Leave it to us...
And your problems are solved, this is the Holmes Agency.
Hello?
Kyoko-chan?
Takano-san?
Hello? Takano-san?
Hello?
Where are you?
Hong Kong.
Hong Kong?
Something big is happening.
Something big?
I wrote some important things and left them in the Japanese style room.
Look at it.
Later!
Japanese style room?
This?
1: Wash your hands before eating.
2: Hold your chopsticks correctly.
3: Eliminate likes and dislikes.
There's no 4.
Why?
Is that number 4?

To everyone, Remember me whenever you get hungry. We'll meet again. - Takano Seiya.
