Lately, no matter what I do...
His face always appears in my mind.
Twenty-four hours in a day, but it's not enough time...
He's taken it all up.
Now, it's time to begin work!
But still trouble me in the way.
I'm a person who works hard all day...
But be has already conquered me!
No matter what I do, I think of him...
I'm full of thoughts of him!
Still, useless he stays with me...
I can't do anything.
He is inside me...
Even though it's spring...
It's spring, but the sadness continues...
I was thinking of buying some silver accessories...
But this isn't even enough to buy takoyaki...
How sad...
Police!
Don't move and behave yourself!
Dad! You frightened me!
Can't you knock before you come in?!
Ok! Understood! Sorry, sorry...
Kotobuki Taisan, the boss, 51, like a flower
And what're you doing here with mom?
Policewoman? Kotobuki Kinshang
We're always watching over you...
your papa and mom...
so that you don't go astray.
If you're so poor...
I bet you won't be able to buy police exam references, right?
What makes you think I want to be a cop?!
Too soft!
All of the Kotobukis, including your grandfather, grandmother, great ...
grandfather, and great - grandmother, have been cops.
So IT'S YOUR FATE TO BECOME A POLICEWOMAN!
Why don't you stop resisting?
How about you?
See, mother is crying now too.
(The rice with chop)
Now, promise... Tell me you will become a cop.
Why don't you say it?
If you don't say it you won't be able to ever get out of here.
Say it. Say it now.
Say it NOW! Say!
Why don't you hurry up and say it!?
Hey! Are you listening to me?
Say it! SAY IT!
SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
Wait, where are you going?
I don't like to take the road that...
you're forcing me down.
I'll live my life the way I like!
Oh my...
Ah, ok... what a pity to hear that...
...and I brought some good news for you too.
Like an increase in your allowance...
How do you think of that?
Re... Really?
But there is one condition...
Condition?
The Great Shibuya Pil - A - Pat Investigation!
Otohata-san!
Asou-san!
Please, sign this.
Ah, all right!
You came all the way from Osaka?
Yes, it said we would find you...
if we looked around Shibuya.
We're sooo lucky...
to find you!
Ah... I wonder if Ran-chan is here...
The only interesting part of coming...
to Shibuya is seeing her.
Yuuya, don't get involved too much.
More misfortune will befall you.
Don't say that as if Ran-chan is a jinx.
Kyaaaa! A thief.
Someone catch that person!
Hey, it looks like a thief.
That's too bad.
Ah! Asou-san...
are you alright?
Ah... ouch.
Ah! Ran-chan appears.
Hey, thief, wait up!
It's no use running away.
You can't take Ran-sama's territory that easily.
Ran-chan, leave it to me.
I don't need any help!
Take this!
So lucky!
See, misfortune, right?
Rei, are you clairvoyant?
Why don't you stop resisting.
That hurts, let go of me.
What's up with you?
What do you think you're saying...
when you just robbed someone?
Kotobuki, what are you doing?
'Sup. Just a little part-time job.
H... Hey.
What? A girl?
You!
What a terrible thing to do!
Don't think you'll get off so easily...
next time I see you.
Shit!
Damn it. I'll remember that!
You sure have to work your butt off for this part-time job...
Thank you very much.
It's alright.
Take care.
It's not normal for Ran...
to be doing something for good.
It seems so fishy.
Take a look at this.
What is this?
Ran's police training program?
1 point per good deed.
10 points and I get 500 yen of allowance.
Nowadays something like that...
Isn't really too much.
Does dad really want to make Ran a cop...
with something cheesy like this?
You bet!
I have no intention of becoming a cop...
but I might as well take what I can get.
I wouldn't do such a difficult thing if it was free.
You are right.
Understood.
Once I get the 500 yen...
I'm going to get a new nail insert.
Ran, why don't you at least do your own homework.
Geez, you don't even study either.
Don't be so stingy...
it's good to have a smart friend...
at times like this.
Ran's in too good of a mood.
That's her personality.
Ah, Otohata-kun is in here again!
Eh? Really?
See.
Ah, he's still really cool.
Hey Ran...
you two are close...
since you got his bag, right?
Can you get us to meet up with him?
That's a good idea.
Why don't you ask yourself?
If you walked around Shibuya...
you'd be able to find him.
What?!
You'll lose your friends.
You'll really lose them.
Shut up!
I'm busy copying homework.
Ah, it's that girl.
Ah, Ran, are you trying to run away?
Meeting! Meeting!
Hey, you've been following me for a while now...
what do you want?
Just as I thought, you're the thief from yesterday.
Thief?
What are you talking about?
Don't act dumb. You're the thief...
in front of Shibuya Station, right?
Don't say nonsensical things...
to me out of the blue!
It wasn't me.
You probably mistook me for someone.
Hey, hey, don't say strange things...
like that to my girl.
Yukie wouldn't do something like stealing.
I don't care at all about the theft...
but I want to do something about this!
That's why I've been saying, I don't know!
I got it.
I'll just keep it as that for now.
That's such a bad thing to say.
Do you think someone cute like her would steal?
Well, see ya.
You screwed up Yukie.
Of all things, to get caught by a student from our school.
I'm sorry. Takeru.
I guess I have no choice.
At this point, I guess we gotta do that.
Huh... What do you mean by that?
You already know, don't you?
The way to get a lot a money at once.
No... no!
I can't do that.
Hey, Yukie!
do you want to get dumped by me?
Eh? NO!
Call the prey out tonight.
Got it?
Ok, I understand.
I'll give it a try.
Don't screw up this time.
Kotobuki, huh?
I can use her.
Alright! I'm energetic today!
I'll do a good deed today too!
Hey! Don'tjust throw your cigarette on the ground!
No, No! No riding bikes double!
No Catch Sales!
Huh... 500 yen!
Easy, easy. This is just too easy.
Hey, let's stop already...
What did you say?
All you have to do is do what I say.
And so.
1 more stamp, and I'll have 10...
Father Stamps.
Oh, I see.
Ran-chan's father is a detective. That's so cool.
Not really.
He's just a normal guy.
Hey Kotobuki, I don't really care...
but why are you sitting there...
and eating my stuff?
You're a guy right?
Don't mind these small things so much.
On top of that...
who are these people?
Otohata-san, Asou-san...
I'm very delighted to be able to meet you guys today.
Aya, this cake tastes good, doesn't it?
Yeah, it's so good.
Alright, you can order anything you like.
Everything is a treat from Rei today.
What?
Thank you for the meat
Hey! You're so nice!
Woo, so full!
Because Super High School Otohata Rei...
is an Ultra - Feminist.
That sure has been investigated thoroughly...
I'm very disturbed.
Ah! It's Rei-kun!
Rei-kun! Rei-kun!
It's a good thing we stopped karaoke.
Really! Really!
Bari Kara means to do karaoke like crazy.
This is GALS basics.
Shucks, you guys...
are still in Shibuya.
Ah! Kotobuki!
Why is someone like you with Rei-kun?
Annoying... Annoying! Annoying!
ANNOYING!!!
Shut up!
You out-of-season dark Gals...
hurry up and get outta here!
We aren't changed by the seasons.
We're always straight forward Ganguro.
Lowly white Gal.
Shut up, dark Gals.
You are Kotobuki Ran, right?
Who are you?
We're with the police.
Eh!? Police?
Can you come with us to the station?
What did you say?
Finally, Ran is a convict?
Weren't you fixing up the community?
Take that!
Hehe, you got pulled in for questioning again!
Why? Why me?
What?
Telegari?
There's no way I'd do something like that.
Aren't you guys just trying to make a fool...
outta Kotobuki Ran-sama?
Where were you last night at around 1 1 o'clock...?
At home.
Really?
Weren't you at Marukawa Park?
I didn't go there.
The victim, where did he go after he was...
lured over by you...
Someone is probably just using my name.
Got assaulted by the guy who was waiting...
I wouldn't know any guy like that.
And was robbed of 50,000 yen.
What kind a idiot would telegari...
with their real name?
Got it? Listen up.
l, Kotobuki Ran,
would never deceive people...
and take their money.
Never!
In the name of GALS.
Geeze, what was that?
Well said, Ran.
That's why you're my daughter.
Close upon...
Otohata.
What? You didn't have to come here because you were worried.
Moron, I got investigated too.
Being with you really...
does bring misfortune.
Otohata...
you don't really believe that...
I really did telegari, do you?
I still have an eye for people.
never use...
filthy money.
We were so worried, Ran-chan.
Are you alright, Ran?
Yeah, but I can't forgive them for...
using my name to telegari.
That's it.
I'll go find the criminal myself.
Everyone give me a hand.
OKAY!
Of course, you're gonna help too, right?
Why me?
I wonder...
I don't think the criminals know...
they've been reported.
In other words?
There may be a second act.
They'll do it again?
As expected, Aya's so smart.
That means, Aya-chan...
I think...
there will still be a message that you can get.
In 10 minutes...
Oh, bingo!
For real?
Kotobuki Ran, I'm a first year high school student.
Hey! Don't use my name without permission!
I'm offering escort services for anyone with 50,000 yen.
I'll be waiting for your mail!
It really does say Kotobuki Ran.
How transparent.
Alright, let's send a message to lure them.
Shit...
Ran! Ran-chan!
Ran! Geeze, Ran.
This must be the Marukawa Park...
that the detective was talking about.
Hey.
W... What is it?
Who are you?
Hrmph, don't be surprised...
but I'm Kotobuki Ran.
Kotobuki Ran?
What do you want with me?
It's already proven!
You're Kotobuki Ran, aren't you?
Eh? You're Kotobuki Ran, aren't you?
Don't act like an airhead, you Kotobuki Ran.
You're Kotobuki Ran, aren't you?
So why would I be Kotobuki Ran?
Hey! Are you trying to act as if nothing happened? You Kotobuki Ran!
You should know I'm Kotobuki Ran!
Say that, Kotobuki Ran!
I don't know any Kotobuki Ran!
And if you're Kotobuki Ran...
how am I Kotobuki Ran too?
I don't understand it.
So what is up with this Kotobuki Ran?
Don't act dumb! I don't know...
what grudge you have against me...
but if you have something come out with it!
What is it, geeze?
Ah! The prey!
P... Prey?
Dad!
Dad...?
You're late!
I got tangled up with this weird girl...
I thought it was really bad...
I see, it must have been scary.
It'll be alright now.
Damn!
Making a fool outta me.
It's irritating me!
What a waste.
Ran's mind is too simple...
It wouldn't happen at the same spot again, would it?
Shut up!
Eww! Dirty!
It came.
It's a reply.
Record it.
Hello?
I saw your mail. I'm fine with it.
She has a different voice than Ran.
The place and time is...
This voice...
Well?
Is there someone who looks like her?
I don't think they're here...
Number 2, go.
Mashan Yuya, 16.
This is a little unreasonable...
trying to be a 25 year old businessman.
Tanaka-san.
Yes?
Ah! That's Mojita Yukie...
from Class Three.
I'm Kotobuki.
Hello.
Did you bring the money?
What? Money? What do you mean by money?
D... Don't be stupid.
Hey, are you trying to lay a hand on my girl?
That's pretty tacky.
You don't think you'll get away like this, do you?
Takeru.
How much do you have on you? You must have a lot if you're a businessman.
Hand over to me all!
Let's just quit...
You be quiet.
Hey, you...
what are you doing?
What do you want?
If you don't want to be beaten up, gimme some money.
I said stop it.
Don't make a fool out of me!
Y... You're.
Eh? Oh, shit.
Wait right there.
Wh... Who is it?
You've finally shown your true self.
You were the ones behind it, just as I thought.
Kotobuki.
Hey, Mojita...
was the theft from last time to...
give money to him?
Are you being used?
It's because... I love him.
Yeah, yeah, she does anything...
if it's for me.
That's quite alright with me...
Don't fool around!
Takeru!
Fooling around with a girls pure heart...
And making her...
commit crimes for you...
Someone like you...
is just human scum.
It really annoys the heck outta me that...
someone like you is walking around...
Shibuya and breathing the same air as us.
He's already unconscious.
Hello, hello! Ah, Yamato-kun.
Geeze...
you fell in love with quite a man.
I loved him so much and...
I was scored that Takeru's feelings for me would go away.
I thought I could keep him with me...
as long as I did what he said.
He made me do a lot of bad things...
and I knew itjust wasn't right.
But somewhere in my heart, I wanted someone to stop me.
I'm really sorry.
You should think...
a little bit more, alright?
Did you think you would be able to get real love from stealing?
After all...
cheap love...
doesn't last long.
You didn't recognize something as simple as that?
Kotobuki.
Listen, become a good girl
that men will be attracted to.
Like me.
Kotobuki.
Oh man, you've done another good deed.
Hey hey hey, hey. I did it again.
She did it again, she did it again.
Ran-chan.
Nice job.
Ah! Where have you been?
Nowhere really.
Ah! Yamato-kun.
Finally I have 10 points!
500 yen!
GOT 500 yen!
500 yen! 500 yen!
Such misfortune...
My 500 YEN!!!
I hate it, you're always smiling...
So strong and cute and popular...
I hate it, I'm always slow, a dunce...
No one needs me at all...
You're smart and never have any weak points...
Surely you just make fun of people like me.
Actually, I want to try talking to you...
I think, maybe me can become friends.
You, whom I've always envied...
I was crying alone, shoulders trembling.
Hey, have you ever been scared, all alone?
Is everyone miserable and weak, I wonder...
If I had more courage...
I would have hugged you tightly.
The girl with the mess in her heart.
Thought they don't know if they can meet.
The tender boy!
The GALS's heart which is heading forward...
will stay somewhere one day!
Really?
This is a report from our reporter.
Miyu found a love letter in the drawer.
Hey, brother, go for it!
Or Miyu would be the other's lover!
GALS is ruling!
The super GALS, Kotobuki Ran!
The heart of a woman, is very nervous!
The red dye!
You must watch it!
