Wait!
St. Tail!
I know your escape route!
I did it!
St. Tail.
Today is the day I'm going to capture you on film!
What...? Saruwatari!
Hey... What are you smiling about?
Stop it!
What's with this article, Saruwatari?!
What do you mean?
I just reported the facts.
You call these facts?!
First of all, if you hadn't interfered...
...St. Tail would have been...!
Ah, she escaped from you again, Asuka Jr.
What a pity...!
Shut up!
I'll definitely catch her next time!
How many times have we heard that before?
St. Tail may already be tired...
...of dealing with Asuka Jr.
What are you saying?!
You just don't understand St. Tail!
Don't talk like such an authority.
That's right. You're a loser.
Shut up!
If you know so much...
...why don't you try to catch St. Tail?!
I'm glad you said that!
Asuka Jr. or the two of us...
Who can catch St. Tail first?
Let's have a competition!
That's what I want!
A BURST OF LAUGHTER! THE DETECTIVE TEAM DOES A GREAT JOB!
The Detective Team?
Yes! We've formed...
...the St. Paulia Detective Team!
We're going to catch St. Tail...
...and hear Asuka Jr. say, "I lost to you."
Wait... Wait a minute, everyone...
Both Kyoko and Ryoko are highly motivated.
But you can never beat Asuka.
Right, Asuka?!
What are you doing?! Get away from me!
Calm down, Meimi.
What's with Takamiya's attitude?
Hey, Kyoko!
Meimi! Seira!
Let's join together and catch St. Tail!
Because I'm serving God...
...I can't be involved in a fight...
Seira...
I'm sorry!
All right then. Kyoko! Meimi!
We three will do it!
Emerald... you said?
My husband is the captain of a ship going abroad.
The emerald was...
...my present to my husband...
...who would finish his last trip and come back home.
It was stolen...
...by a jewel thief who has been active recently...
...and targets big houses.
The police worked really hard.
But they can't find any clues.
Before my husband comes back...
...I want to get the emerald back at any cost.
I want to see my husband's look of surprise...
Your feelings...
I'm sure God understands them...
According to my sources...
...the thief is working for a crooked businessman...
...Torabatake.
Torabatake destroys all evidence...
...linked to the thefts.
He appears to be hiding the jewels...
...in a bronze statue of a dolphin.
A bronze statue of a dolphin?
You mean the one at the All Sports Center...
...in the Port Area?
That Sports Center was...
...built by Torabatake as a place to hide the evidence.
I'm sure Mrs. Ono's emerald...
...is in the statue of the dolphin.
No one would ever suspect...
...that the stolen jewels are hidden in there.
I see.
It's your show time, Meimi.
With our power...
...let's get back Mrs. Ono's important emerald!
Yeah.
All right! I'm ready for anything!
We knew that you'd come! Meimi!
What?
What do you mean, what?
You came to catch St. Tail, didn't you?
Yeah...
In order to deliver a warning note...
...St. Tail will have to approach Asuka Jr.
We're going to catch her then!
What a brilliant plan we have!
Yeah, yeah.
What...?!
What shall I do?!
Now I can't send a warning note...!
I'm sorry!
That boy is suspicious!
Kyoko! Meimi! Get him!
Wait... Wait a minute!
Are you all right, Asuka Jr.?
Ouch...
What are you doing?! Hey, you two!
Now we've caught you, St. Tail!
Let's see who you are!
Hey! Stop it!
Both of you!
We won't let you interfere, Asuka Jr.!
We're going to catch St. Tail!
Speak up, St. Tail!
Admit that the ball was a warning note!
Are you saying he is St. Tail?
No! I'm not St. Tail!
He's right!
That boy is not St. Tail. Here.
See?
She's right. It's a regular ball.
That's strange.
Bullies!
You brat!
Ah, ha!
What stupid detectives...
...thinking that child was St. Tail!
What did you say?!
"Tonight...
...at the All Sports Center...
...I'll take the bronze dolphin. -St. Tail"
What's this?!
She got through our surveillance...
...and delivered the warning note.
- St. Tail is very impressive. - Yeah.
What surveillance?!
I don't want to hear anything from a stupid detective...
...who didn't even notice a warning note in his own pocket!
That's right!
What did you say...?!
This will be a problem...
Meimi, how do you think St. Tail comes in?
What?! Why do you ask me?!
Your father is a magician, isn't he?
So as a magician's daughter...
...I thought you might know how St. Tail thinks.
You would think so, but I don't know...
Are you okay losing to Asuka Jr., Meimi?
St. Tail will probably come this way...
We'll get you, St. Tail!
Watch us, Asuka Jr.!
I have to deal with their fight...
Please cover for me while I'm gone, Ruby!
Oh, Lord, forgive me, for I use no gimmick or trick.
One!
Two!
Three!
Mrs. Ono's husband's ship...
...is arriving at the port tonight, isn't it?
I have to hurry!
Be careful, Meimi.
Don't worry.
I know what Asuka Jr. is up to.
No. The ones you have to be careful about are...
...Ryoko and Kyoko.
We know those two well.
They may do something unexpected.
No need to worry!
May the blessings of God be with us.
Oh, hello. May I speak with Meimi?
Oh, boy, that Meimi.
Of all times, how can she be late now?
Meimi.
It's a phone call from Kyoko.
Meimi...?
Meimi? Meimi!
Meimi?
Meimi!
I've got a cold...
If she's sick, she can't help us.
All right then. It's just the two of us. Let's catch St. Tail!
Mr. Torabatake.
You have arranged for your company's security guards.
I appreciate your cooperation.
It's the proper thing to do.
This bronze statue is an important asset.
But...
...why is St. Tail trying to steal this?
Even St. Tail...
...can't discover the secret of this bronze dolphin.
Mr. President!
We've caught a suspicious man.
Hey! Come on!
Sawatari! Why are you here?
What do you think?!
I came to take pictures of St. Tail.
What?!
Do you know him?
Well...
Yes...
Ouch!
What's going on?!
This is...!
I won't let you escape, St. Tail!
St. Paulia Academy Detective Team!
Here we are!
You guys...!
Here we come!
What's this?!
Those are raw eggs, Mr. President!
Stop it! This is St. Tail's magic.
Darn you guys!
What...?
The real St. Tail is over there!
Hey, hey! Wait, everyone!
St. Tail! Don't move!
It's...
...Show...
...Time!
What?! What's that?!
Jewels! My jewels!
Ouch...!
Is this an emerald?
Mr. Torabatake...!
You're Torabatake, aren't you?
You're under arrest.
Dad!
Good job, Son!
Torabatake was suspected of stealing jewels.
But we had a hard time uncovering any evidence.
This incident finally gives us the evidence we need.
My perfect hiding place...!
Darn you, St. Tail!
Don't forget to cook our dinner, okay?
Yeah...
St. Tail!
I won't let her go!
Stop! St. Tail!
Lock on target! Fire!
Roger!
Oh, no! The match is wet!
Good grief!
This is the escape route I expected you to take!
No! We're going to catch St. Tail!
Plan B!
We did it!
We've got you, St. Tail!
Now, show your face!
It's going to be my scoop photo!
Don't move!
Watch out!
Fireworks...
I'm safe...
Oh, where is St. Tail?
Over there...!
No way!
Cheer up, you two!
But...!
We prepared for so long...!
I'm always like that.
You did well, you two...
...from the St. Paulia Academy Detective Team!
Asuka Jr.
Thanks for a good photo!
Did St. Tail do this on purpose in order to get us to make up?
But how would she know about our fight?
That's right!
What's up, Kyoko?
We have to go to Meimi to report this!
I'm returning your important emerald.
- So Meimi caught a cold? - Is she all right?
Thank you for coming all this way to see her.
Please come in.
Meimi. Your medicine is here.
Thank you. But I don't want it right now.
Don't be that way. You've got to get better.
Ryoko and the others are here, too.
Open the door, Meimi.
Meimi. Answer me.
Oh, dear! Something is wrong with Meimi!
Oh, dear! Hurry up!
You don't need to worry. She must be sleeping.
What's the matter, Meimi? You didn't answer.
Sorry! I must have been sleeping.
See, I told you.
Oh, well...
I'm leaving your medicine here.
It seems like you're dealing with the cold well.
Yeah. Sorry to worry you.
No, we're the ones who are sorry.
To tell you the truth, we let St. Tail escape.
Is that so? I'm sorry to hear that. But...
...you guys became friends again, didn't you?
Kind of...
But if Asuka Jr. hadn't interfered...
What are you talking about?
You're the ones who interfered with me!
How can you say that?!
