Run at once towards a dream.
Let's laugh and break though the troubled yesterday.
Even when our memories are hurt,
directly face your wounds with pride.
I can feel it in the wind.
The hot beat is shining,
especially now...
surely, always, you'll be by my side.
Keep on running the way to the future.
More and more, no matter what happens,
half our tears become double smiles
forever.
[Monday]
The things which heartbroken man says:
"If you don't show women something concrete,"
you'll be an unhappy person and won't even be acknowledged by them.
If things continue under those circumstances, soon it'll be 'Okay, farewell.'
Something concrete...
Wow!
Like, for example,
I LOVE YOU!
I LOVE YOU!!!
shouting "I love you",
saying "I adore you" and kissing;
or giving them a present as proof that you treasure them.
Or possibly...
a trip.
Say,
this might be a bit sudden, but next Sund--
What? Did you eat my tarte axu fraises?!
But...
Ar-Aren't you two always saying that you like those Mont-Blanc?
But...
It looked so delicious.
I can't believe you guys!
Wanna eat the Mont-Blanc?
Wanna eat it?
You guys, sit down there for a second.
We're sitting.
Okay then!
Stop harmonizing on every one of those lines!
Aren't you tired of doing that?!
Listen!
The tarte axu fraises you just ate
was the motivation I needed to support me during work all throughout the day.
[Work Motivation]
Work, you say...
There aren't any jobs anyway.
None at all.
W-Well that...
None at all!
Listen!
"Even if you're on standby mode, you'll still consume some energy."
Denko-chan is Tokyo Electric Power Company's energy conservation mascot and represents an average electricity consumer.
That's what Denko-chan said!
Be kind to the planet.
Ah!
Amazing, amazing!
Rentarou,
if you ever stopped being a detective, you could go into show business.
Show business...
Idiots!
That tune...
who's it by?
Daisy Fitzgerald.
Daisy Fitzgerald...
Hm?
Say...
This coming Sunday...
Shall the three of us go the hot springs...?
Sometimes,
Sara and Soujyu vanish into thin air like this,
completely cutting off all communication.
Usually it's only for two or three days.
But this time,
it's already been a week.
EPISODE 5 - 7Dayz and Happy dayz
Rentarou!
[Tuesday]
Detective-san?
Umm...
Detective-san?
My long-awaited work...
was to search for a dog.
It had run away from the show window that they had forgotten to lock.
A Maltese puppy.
A week had already passed since it ran away.
The health center and the neighborhood veterinary clinic have been notified.
But still, no one had contacted them.
Somehow, they wanted me to go look for it.
The feel for which I accepted the case,
was more expensive than the price of the Maltese.
Will he find it...
He will find it,
for sure.
The important things in searching for a pet,
are know-how and personnel.
Ah, you can't reach it?
The first thing to do is to make calls.
The dog's owner doesn't think clearly,
and instead, tells me the worst case scenario.
The posters,
will be hung up on main streets where people constantly come and go,
at bus stops,
at village garbage collection points.
And, it anticipation of reports from children,
also on paths to schools.
One was also given to the policeman in the police box.
While patrolling,
there may be a chance that he'll find it and report it in.
Your call could not be completed as dialed.
Your call could not be completed as--
Well,
it doesn't matter.
My lack of staff...
can't be helped.
Nah,
just take care of it yourself somehow.
Excuse me then.
Bye.
Please.
Umm...
What?
Do you have Daisy Fitzgerald?
Which one of Daisy's?
Eh?
Ah...
Well...
Which tune was that again?
I see.
If I catch sight of it, I'll let you know.
Thank you.
Well then,
I'm going to put up some more posters in front of the station.
Hey,
where are those twin detective girls?
Come on, come on!
I don't know.
I don't know...
their reasons.
It felt strange asking...
why they weren't talking to me.
To being with,
the house they live in...
their home phone number...
I don't know them at all.
[Wednesday]
Today's the fourth day...
since they disappeared.
I still tirelessly continued...
the task of searching for the dog.
Listen to this!
You're joking!
How uncool!
I told you. You must be mistaken or something.
You can't be serious.
That can't happen.
How lame.
About their small disappearances...
when they first came into my house two years ago,
that was the first time.
Why do we have to tell you the reason for every little thing that we do?!
It's common sense.
Didn't you say we could come and go whenever we pleased?
That's why I didn't refuse your arrival.
If you were to suddenly take a break,
work arrangements would be disrupted.
There isn't even a teeny bit of work!
If we can only come and go whenever it suits you,
then you obviously don't care about us.
He looks depressed.
[Thursday]
Yes,
this is the Futuba Detective Agency.
What?
You saw it?
...a cat?
No,
it's not a cat.
I-It's a dog, a dog.
Yes,
thanks.
Well then.
Today is the third day searching for the dog.
So far,
there still are no clues.
Also,
it's been nine days,
since they left.
HEY YOU!
There was no "I'm back!"
or "Welcome home!"
Together,
we started searcing for the lost dog.
It was like nothing had happened.
Sugiskau Meat Shop
Hello auntie!
Ah,
have you guys finally come back?
Here, take these.
Th-Thank you.
You shouldn't go around looking like those two abandoned you.
Seeing you moping around, searching for that dog all by yourself;
it's not at all pleasant,
and you wouldn't be able to find it anyway.
Doggy?
Say...
What?
Err well,
umm...
"The croquettes from Sugisaku's old lady are absolutely delicious,"
is what I was going to say.
Yeah.
Say, boss...
What is it?
This may be a bit sudden, but...
Have you ever been on a trip with your wife?
Why are you asking that?
Err, well, it doesn't matter.
A long time ago,
I took my overbeating wife to the hot springs.
It was only once though.
Yeah.
She really enjoyed herself there.
Yeah.
At that time, me and the wife already had a family for ten years, but
it was the first time that we had gone there.
Yeah.
Well,
that's all.
Yeah.
Thank you for having me.
Yeah.
[Friday]
In the end,
we didn't find it today either.
Yeah.
Tomorrow, should we go and check over there by the river?
Yeah.
Say...
Once we finish this job,
do you want to go to the hot springs or something?
Hot springs?
Err, well, I was thinking of a trip to somewhere...
Well, I guess anywhere is fine.
It's just fine like this!
Huh?
If it was always just the three of us walking together like this,
that would be the best.
Even if we become 20 years old...
Even if we become 30 years old...
Even if we become 40 years old...
Even if we become 50 years old...
Even if we become 60 years old...
Even if we become 70 years old...
Even if we become 80 years old...
Nonsense!
I work so hard
that I'm going to an early grave!
There's no way that I'd live to become an old geezer.
Ah!
Rentarou is crying!
Ah, it's true!
Nonsense!
I'm not crying!
Wait, Rentarou!
Rentarou!
[Just Around The Same Time]
Wait!
Ah, what a cute doggy!
[Saturday]
Ah.
A commemoriative photo.
The sky from the time when we were really happy.
The sky from when we were together for the first time.
The clouds passed by.
The sun set.
There's no way that the same sky will be over us a second time.
But,
in that photo, it'll always be there.
That's why,
a commemorative photo.
[Sunday]
Ah, is that so?
I am glad about that.
Thank you.
We weren't that helpful though.
[Water for Fire Fighting]
No,
thank you very much.
Say...
The next time,
we go missing...
Will you come and search for us?
[Don't forget!!]
We are here.
We will be here.
The slow time is
flowing in this room.
Even if the summer days vanish,
the smiles that remain
are a chain of happiness up to this point.
Ah, the meaning of honesty,
is within the innermost depths of your heart.
Hey, the days are wonderful
in the midst of weakness and anxiety.
I won't say goodbye, Because forever
the days will be unchanged.
Surely forever.
