Dear Miss Ran Kotobuki,
How have you been?
It has been a while. This is Maki.
You remember me, don't you?
The Maki Komine who came to Shibuya half a year ago...
...and whom you made yourfirst disciple.
I realize this is sudden,
butwon'tyou come visit our hot spring this weekend?
My granny and everyone in town are all for it.
"I will be waiting eagerly for the day we meet again," huh.
We'll get to see Maki soon, datchu!
Sayo can't wait, datchu!
I'm so excited that I get to go on a trip with Sayo-sayo.
But how will inviting Ran-ran revitalize the hot springs town?
You definitely don't think of gals when you think of hot springs.
What're you saying, datchu?!
Sis' popularity is on a nationwide scale now!
It'll be way more effective than inviting some B-list celebrity, datchu!
Nevermind that...
Why is it that I'm with you three, of all people? Poor me...
Because...
We would be totally okay with you bringing up to 3 friends.
Lots
And when we drew lots...
Win Win Win
...the junior detective trio won, so don't complain, datchu.
Lost ...the junior detective trio won, so don't complain, datchu.
Lost
Damn it. Miyu and the rest ofthem have rotten Iuck.
I'm so excited.
I sense a case brewing beyond the clouds of steam, don't you?
The spirit ofthe junior detectives...
...will burn brightly!
The junior detectives will protect...
...the peace of Hanayama Hot Springs too, datchu!
Roger! Roger!
It completely ruins the vacation mood.
Hot Spring ¦ Viva Viva > The Gal lncident in the Northern Steam Clouds
"Hot Spring! Viva Viva! The Gal Incident in the Northern Steam Clouds".
Hot Spring ¦ Viva Viva > The Gal lncident in the Northern Steam Clouds
Man, Shibuya's so boring without Ran.
What is it, Aya?
I was justwondering what Ran and the others are doing about now.
We both have such bad Iuck with lots.
Man, Miyu wanted to go to the hot springs, too.
AIright, let's have tons of fun today, just the two of us!
I'm sorry. I have some plans.
What?!
Miss Hoshino!
Oh, Katase!
Sorry for being late.
It's okay.
Aya looks like she's totally lovey-dovey with Katase.
I wonder if it's all over with Otohata.
Hanayama Hot Springs Town
Welcome, Miss Ran Kotobuki!
Welcome Super GAL! Miss Ran Kotobuki Welcome, Miss Ran Kotobuki!
W-Whatthe heck is this?
It's Miss Ran!
I can't believe it! We're getting to meet Miss Ran, in person!
I'm going to touch her!
Hey, stop it!
I'm not a Jizo statue that soothes away pain!
S-Sis!
Everyone, that's enough!
You're being rude to Miss Ran!
Oh, whoops.
I just got so excited...
Miss Ran!
Long time no see!
Maki?
Is thatyou, Maki?
Yes!
HanayamaStation
Maki!
HanayamaStation Sayo!
Thank you for coming all this way.
I am Maki's grandmother.
Oh, hi. I'm Kotobuki.
Maki, thanks for the grand welcome.
"You do everything you can foryour friends."
I merelyfollowed the ironclad rule for gals thatyou taught me.
You sure have become gal-like.
M-Miss Ran!
Oh, it's like a dream that I get to see you again!
S-Stop it, Maki! You're creeping me out! Oh, it's like a dream that I get to see you again!
S-Stop it, Maki! You're creeping me out!
It's been so long!
S-Stop it, Maki! You're creeping me out!
Oh, Maki, no fair!
We want to do that, too!
Stop!
I'm Maki's childhood friend. My name is Shoichi Aiba.
I've been working with Maki to organize your welcome project.
Nevermind the introductions! Do something about Maki for me!
Miss Ran!
Please come to our home first.
Holy cow!
Your family owns an inn?!
Yes.
Come, you must be tired from your long trip.
Please make yourselves at home and rest.
Wow! Awesome! This place is real Iuxurious!
Heavenly, just heavenly.
Datchu...
Woohoo! This is an awesome spread!
Please, help yourselves.
For real?!
Then, thanks forthe food!
What an incredible appetite...
Please have as many seconds as you like.
Seconds!
Run! Odaiba Cop
Hey, "Odaiba Cop" is airing at a time like this, datchu?
I guess the time slots are different from Tokyo.
Detective Kudoh U-saku Matsuda I guess the time slots are different from Tokyo.
I feel like we got something for nothing.
Oh, Detective Kudoh, watch out, datchu!
Detective Kudoh's just so majorly manly no matter where you see him!
Go for it! Don't give up, Detective Kudoh!
What a cocky thing to do! Go for it! Don't give up, Detective Kudoh!
Yum! This is super yummy!
Kudoh Kick! Yum! This is super yummy!
Yum! This is superyummy!
What fun children.
Thirds!
The Odaiba Shark never sleeps.
Bang!
You miss!
Uh... What?
This is amazing! Just amazing!
This is the biggestturnout Hanayama Hot Springs has ever seen!
And they're all young girls!
That photo will have to be nextyear's tourist poster.
This is all thanks to that girl named Ran Kotobuki, too.
Ah, Sheriff.
Well, when I heard Maki's story, I was dubious,
but I had no idea how popular she was.
Oh, whoops. Recyclable trash goes over here.
Oh-ho! They are all quite well-mannered.
They apparently stick to something called the ironclad rules for gals.
Ironclad rules... for gals?
Shooting Gallery 300 yen
All misses!
This is so depressing.
The star of "Odaiba Cop", Detective Kudoh, is here shooting on location...
And yet, no one notices me.
At this rate...
...I suppose I'll be dying in the line of duty soon.
Miss Ran!
What?! You've already had Iunch, Miss Ran?!
No prob, no prob. Sweet things and barbeque go in separate stomachs.
I'll have some.
Who's that girl?
Oh, there she is!
Maki! Over here!
Sho, sorry for being late!
I'm so glad Miss Ran and everyone else seem to be enjoying themselves.
Thankyou, Sho.
What?
You really like Miss Ran, don'tyou?
Yeah, I love her.
She taught me what a true gal is.
A true gal?
Being a gal is a way of life.
You dress up, have fun every day, have a clearwill ofyour own,
and...
...you do everything you can foryourfriends.
I wantto become a super gal like Miss Ran!
Yum!
You're amazing, Miss Ran!
I guess a super gal has a tough gastrointestinal tract, too!
Hey! Is that all the burnable trash?!
I guess you clean up after yourself properly.
Even with families, littering has become common these days.
Of course.
Being free and being selfish are different.
Ifyou don't want people doing it to you, don't do it yourself.
That's a basic ironclad rule for gals.
"Ifyou don'twant people doing it to you, don't do ityourself."
Oh, no, you don't really have to write it down.
"Oh, no, you don't really have to write it down."
They're so straightforward.
That's just how much influence you have.
You have a sort of aura that converts those around you to your way.
That's what I think.
So right now, Hanayama Hot Springs is...
...a majorly yummy spot that's garnering a lot of attention from ramen fanatics!
Did you know that?!
Detective Naoki, we did not come here to have fun!
What? We didn't?
Even though we may be outside our jurisdiction,
we must never neglect to be on patrol!
Be on patrol?
But unlike Shibuya, this place is the very picture of peace.
It's strange, datchu.
Ifthis were in "Odaiba Cop", a case would've developed by now.
A scream!
A case!
Junior detectives!
Dispatch, datchu!
Who did this?!
Now it's the scream of a middle-aged man!
Talk about gaudy!
What an audacious crime, datchu!
Who in the world would have...
Ran Kotobuki Was Here
Sis?!
Ran Kotobuki Was Here
H-Hold it right there!
That look from behind was...
Say, Maki.
Yes?
That Shoichi guy's got a thing for you, huh?
Do you think so?
He's a bit different than you, but he's a nice guy.
He always does his best to help me.
So he's got a chance?
I think... he does!
Why you!
Sheriff!
And the president ofthe neighborhood association, too?
You're Ran Kotobuki, right?
I'd like you to come to the police substation for a bit.
What's this all of a sudden?
Some incidents happened around town just earlier, you see.
And?
Hey! We know you're the culprit!
And this is the proof!
T-That's...
M-Me?!
Like hell it is!
Don't play dumb! I saw you clearly with my own eyes!
I'm being framed! I was here the whole time!
Littering?! Dumping trash?!
Why the hell would I do rotten things like that?!
Besides, what idiot signs her own name to graffiti?!
T-That's true, but...
Then, who's the person in this photo?!
Hell if I know!
You're a stubborn one!
You're still not going to admit it?!
You've gone far enough, datchu!
W-Who are you guys?!
The junior detective trio is here! The junior detective trio is here!
Datchu!
J-Junior detectives?!
Hey, policeman! Hey, policeman!
This photo alone is insufficient as proof!
You cannot assert that this is Miss Kotobuki without her face!
Sis is clumsy, stupid, boorish, quick to fight,
and she's HOPELESS as a person,
but about the only bad things she'll do...
...are be late to school and eat Iunch early, datchu!
Hey, quit babbling about stuff that's not to my advantage!
Don't worry, datchu.
Your relatives' statements don't get used as proof, datchu.
Then don't say anything!
This is pointless.
I still say the culprit must be...
Don't you get it already?! This is a trap!
It's a trap someone devised to make things difficult for Miss Ran!
A trap, you say?!
Ifyou put on a wig and change your clothes,
anyone can look like Miss Ran!
You guys...
I see. In otherwords, you're all suspects.
But... That's terrible!
We followthe ironclad rules for gals!
There's no waywe'd do anything like that!
That's right, you octopus man!
A-A-A-An octopus, you say?!
This is just unforgivable! Please arrest them all!
No matter what, that's a little too...
These girls are criminals in the making!
They call themselves gals or whatever,
but they're a delinquent crowd that rebels against adults!
They're a group of riffraff!
You're the worst...
Suspecting me is one thing,
but you're even going to suspect my friends?!
Everyone, go back home.
As long as you're home, your parents will be your witnesses.
Where are you going datchu, Sis?!
I'm going to go cool my head.
Miss Ran...
It's my fault.
This happened all because I invited Miss Ran.
It's terrible.
It's too terrible.
Sayo-sayo...
You can't cry!
"Detectives only cry when a case has been solved."
That's what Detective Kudoh said in Episode 16 of "Odaiba Cop".
Detective Masato!
This whole uproar is just like "Odaiba Cop" Episode 21,
"The Falsely Accused Beautiful High School Girl ofthe Hot Spring Village"!
Ifyou drop the "beautiful" part, it's exactlythe same, datchu!
Which means the Ran-ran imposter is still hiding somewhere in town!
AIright! Junior detectives, dispatch datchu!
Roger! Roger!
I'm so pissed!
Ifthis were Shibuya,
I'd have gone para-para dancing and long forgotten about this by now!
There's trouble!
What?!
The director suddenly got sick and the on-location is cancelled?!
What did I come here for?
Hanayama Police Substation
Sheriff, there's trouble!
T-The proprietress of the Komine!
What is the matter?
M-My place...
...has been robbed!
T-This is terrible.
And? What was stolen?
Well... Statues of Buddha and hanging scrolls...
...that have been in the Komine family for generations...
This can no longer be thought of as children's pranks!
We must arrest herwithout a momentto lose!
Butwe have yet to determine that she is the culprit...
No, it's got to be her!
The town's been in chaos ever since Ran Kotobuki showed up!
Where?! Where is the culprit, datchu?!
Culprit, come on out!
CRASH!
Ow ow ow ow ow...
Detective Kudoh!
What?!
W-What are you doing in a place like this, Detective Kudoh?!
Oh, you guys... You look familiar...
Detective Kudoh. Detective Kudoh.
W-What is it?
Please give us your autograph! Please give us your autograph!
Huh?
I see, that's rough.
Oh, please, Detective Kudoh!
You came to Hanayama Hot Springs to investigate this case, right?
N-No, I just happened to be on-location for "Odaiba Cop"...
No, no. You mustn't destroyyour fans' fantasy, Detective Kudoh.
Heh, you're exactly right.
We knew it! We knew it!
If this were Episode 21 of "Odaiba Cop",
you'd have already caught the culprit long ago, datchu!
Episode 21...?
Aren't you guys getting it mixed up?
This case is not the same as Episode 21,
but the same as Episode 19, the New Year's 2-hour special!
What?! What?!
Think back. Where was the culprit hiding in Episode 19?
A factory on the outskirts oftown! A factory on the outskirts oftown!
Detective Kudoh, thanks datchu!
We won't forget this!
Good grief. You get those once in a while.
Fans who've got reality and the drama all mixed up.
A factory on the outskirts oftown...
Or rather, it's a hot water distribution facility...
...that draws water from the hot spring and delivers it to the inns.
Wait, datchu. We have to have faith in Detective Kudoh, datchu.
Here they come!
It's Sis's imposter, datchu!
It's just like Detective Kudoh said!
I get it! That person's going to stop the hot springs...
...and frame Miss Ran for it again!
We won't let that happen, datchu!
The junior detective trio...
...is here! ...is here!
Hey, you imposter! You're under arrest, datchu!
You're not getting away, datchu!
Hey! Stop!
How dare you frame my innocent sister!
Hey!
Stop!
You win!
Granny, I feel better after that.
Thanks for letting me do this when I needed it.
Sis, that's the culprit, datchu!
What?!
Granny, I'm borrowing your bike!
You got it.
How dare you mess with me?!
Wow, how energetic.
Ow...
Not again.
What's all this?!
Hey! Stop! Don't think you can escape the great Ran!
Double Platform Boomerang!
Nailed it.
Sis!
Miss Ran!
Ow...
Sho!
There's no doubt these are the stolen goods from the Komine Inn.
He must've been behind this whole series of crimes.
Thankyou foryour cooperation.
Sir!
Your salute is quite good.
Well, I am Detective Kudoh...
Why? Why would you do this, Sho?
I was scared.
That you were changing more and more under Miss Ran's influence.
That you were becoming a Maki I didn't know.
I felt like I'd lostyou to Miss Ran.
But I didn't really getwhat this gal and Shibuya stuffwas about.
And I didn't knowwhat to do...
I didn't know anymore, so...
That's why I wanted to make you hate Miss Ran...
Sho...
I'm sorry! I must have been out of my mind!
I'm not even Maki's boyfriend and I got jealous ofyou...
I'm sorry, Miss Ran.
Shoichi, are there only o's and x's in this world?
Gals and those who hate gals?
What?
I don't think so.
Some serious guys like gals...
...and some gals get along with serious guys.
Squares and triangles... There're all sorts out there.
What's important is what's in here.
Whether it's how you live or how you love,
what's important is the heart.
M-Miss Ran...
"By loving her..."
"...atone for your crime."
It's a famous line from "Odaiba Cop" Episode 8, datchu.
There you go.
Sho, you dummy.
Maki...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry! I'm really sorry for suspecting you!
Anyone want Iunch to go?
Oh! Take our local specialty, rice in a clay pot.
Over here!
For real?! Over here!
For real?!
Please come visit us again at any time!
Goodbye, Miss Ran!
Maki!
Bye-bye!
Goodbye!
Woohoo! They're seriously yummy!
I wonder if I can finish them all before we get to Tokyo.
Yay! A sign board with Detective Kudoh's autograph!
I'll treasure it!
It was a worthwhile trip!
What?! The rice in a clay pot Iunches are sold out?!
Yes, we just sold all of them earlier.
Disappointed...
What did I come here for?
Majorly yummy!
I hate it, you're always laughing Daikirai anata itsumo waratte ite
And so strong and cute and popular Tsuyokute kawaikute ninki-mono de
I hate it, I'm so dull and slow Daikirai watashi guzu de noroma de

And my shoulders would tremble as I cried alone Hitori kata furuwasete naite ita yo
Tell me, are you alone and afraid, too? Nee anata mo hitori obieteru no
Is everyone miserable and weak? Minna miijime de yowai no kana
If only I had more courage Motto yuuki ga atta nara
