Translation by AnimeYuki
Run at once towards a dream
yume no mukou e ikkini hashitte yo
Let’s meet and laugh away yesterday’s troubles
nayameru kinou wo fungiri warai aou
When our memories were here,
omoide ga itta no toki mo
even though we are deeply hurt, go straight on
kizu wo fukai no ni massugu mae ni
GO TO NEW WORLD
I can feel it in the wind
kaze no naka kanjiteru yo
The hot beat is shining
atsui kodou kagayaku yo
especially now…
ima koso
surely, always, you’ll be by my side
kitto zutto soba ni iru yo ne
Keep on running the way to the future.
mirai no michi wo hashiri tsuzukeyou
more and more, no matter what happens
motto motto nani ga okitemo
half our tears become double smiles
namida wa hanbun nibai no egao ni naru

You have to take it, no matter what.
You’re a stubborn one, huh?
To go so far as to intrude on this place early in the morning…
Is the bourgeois trying to exploit the proletariat even during their few enjoyable moments?
Well then, let’s just leave Soujyu-sama’s child-rearing expenses
here at this pool for the time being.
Whenever you change your mind…
I won’t change it, ever!
Call me. My office will treat it as an urgent message.
The number on the card is a direct line to my office.
I told you I don’t need that!
Even if Kimihiko-san doesn’t give his blessing,
I’ll take responsibility and protect Soujyu.
So in a word, you’re a punk, right?
A man whose own thickness, length, and shapeless condition don’t even measure up…
will use pure violence to lash out at offenses that come up.
Society considers that kind of person a punk.
You’ll take responsibility and protect her?
How are you going to do that?
Just keep up your make-believe detective agency?
For ten years? Twenty years? Until something tangible happens?
Th-That’s…
The savings accounts?
The insurance?
The pensions?
All of these…
for those under President Kimihiko’s protection,
they can live without lacking anything.
Soujyu-sama could be given happiness which would exceed that of Sara-sama.
That empty and foolishly “noble” mindset…
“I don’t want to hurt anyone; I don’t want to hurt them.”
But, for whatever reason, because you kept thinking that,
in the end, both Sara-sama and Soujyu-sama got hurt.
Your indecision in this situation is a precise analogue of your entire life.
Still, I’m strongly opposed to it personally,
but it was the president’s idea to entrust Soujyu-sama to you.
We would appreciate it if contact would gradually decrease.
Contact me. That’s all.
Autumn is ending, and winter is coming.
When I think about that day a week ago, when the office was burned,
I got the feeling that something had definitely ended.
Soujyu and I tumbled into old lady Sugisaku’s house and lived as freeloaders.
But if you’re not doing anything, time passes very slowly.
What am I going to do from now on?
In the first place, where will we be from now on?
The store is closed.
-Igawa Shop
Thank you for your long and faithful support. -Storekeeper
The store is closed due to circumstances.

Go back to Kimihiko-san’s place.
Ladies! Please think it over one more time!
The one who needs to think it over again is papa!
We hate papa!
Is this okay, old man?
It’s Wadatsumi.
It’s not like I could refuse a partner like him.

Come, come you folks!
Did the world know about the collaboration…
formerly knows as John and Yoko’s Milk and Honey?
Ah, you don’t know!
Well then!
This time it’s the dream collaboration of Sugisaku’s Meat and Niko Gen Tofu!
I call the Niko Survival Croquette Tofu and Beef!
Healthy and gorgeous, Japanese and western style,
deliciously appealing and oh so hot.
Ah, welcome!
I’m sorry, Michiru-chan.
Sugisaku Meat Shop
Honestly, the store in front of the station seems to attract more customers,
and it ruined my business.
Taking the eviction compensation and rebuilding my life is a wiser choice.
It’s not about being wise or unwise.
Because we love this Nikotama
It’s not about being wise or unwise.
Stay well.
You too.

How silly, how many more shopping malls do they wanna build?
Yeah, really.
We’ll go shopping there, right? Yay!
You’ll buy me the things I want!
AH!
Darling!
Stop it, bear!!
Mikaru!
Go back to Kimihiko-san’s place.
Say…
This is a detective office, right?
I’d like to request a job from you.
Search for me.
Why are you so gloomy?
Yo!

Translator’s Note: Ika means “squid”. You’ll want to remember it…
Ika!
Ikakakakakakakakakakakakakakaka!
You were alive?
So it was you! You were the one who started all those fires…
Though I’m a squid…
Hey, that’s dangerous!
Ika ika kakakakaka ika!
Ika!
There’s no one on your side…
Ikakakakaka…
Yes, you’re way too weak.
You’re gone.
Hey there!!!
If he were to return from the depths of hell,
what would your noble father do?
All that’s left of him is you, who is futile and desolate.
You…
are not needed.
Later!!
Go! Go! Squid fire!
Hold on there!!!
There. Are you all right?
Hey, hey, are you all right?
Yes… I’m fine.
I want to go to a country somewhere far away.
Yes..?
I’m home.
Futaba Detective Agency (Nidaime) 2-Year Anniversary Party
Congratulations!
W-Wha-what’s the matter?
What are you saying?!
Futaba Detective Agency (Nidaime) 2-Year Anniversary Party
Ah, time passes so fast.
The Futaba Detective Agency,
since it changed hands to Rentarou,
has reached its two year anniversary as of today.
Futaba Detective Agency (Nidaime) 2-Year Anniversary Party
Congratulations!
Futaba Detective Agency (Nidaime) 2-Year Anniversary Party
Congratulations on the office!
You guys!
Right now isn’t the right time to do this!
This isn’t supposed to…
Futaba Detective Agency (Nidaime) 2-Year Anniversary Party
Well, well, well!
It’s okay, drink, drink!
Good, good, good!
By the way, where is Soujyu-chan?
Futaba Detective Agency (Nidaime) 2-Year Anniversary Party
Ah, that’s right!
Rentarou, what happened to Soujyu-chan?
What happened, huh?!
Tha-That is…
You idiot!
You said you wanted to search for Soujyu-chan, didn’t you?
To neglect that until this late, just what on earth were you thinking?!
Well, well, well, listen to Rentarou’s…
Hey, tell the reason, the reason!
This might be the best for Soujyu’s sake.
A man like you doesn’t have the right to say that he wants a woman by his side.
“Better to end it for the sake of the other person.”
What are you saying?
Your thoughts are exactly as conceited as your father’s. Geez.
What?
All right, let’s divide the work and search togeth--
Your thoughts are exactly as conceited as your father’s. Geez.
Soujyu!
And so, it becomes light on the night of fate, right Rara-chan?
The sun rose to shine on the world once again, Ruru-chan.
Soujyu.
I’ve been caught…
Silly and foolish, the me who was having a good feeling,
is now starting to get the impression that something is definitely beginning.
No, maybe nothing had ended in the first place.
Then, that night…
Ikakakakakakakaka!!
It’s show time!
Headquarters!
Requesting reinforcements! It’s very urgent!
Kinoshita! Let’s go!
Goddamnit! That damn squid again!
Granny, hurry up!
Rentarou!
Rentarou!!
Stop right there!
Get off there right now!
I repeat!
Get off there right now!
Ikakakakakakakaka!
And then, on the night of that day,
Futagotamagawa was once again engulfed in flames.
Ikakakakakaka!
The days of no return
modoru koto no nai hibi
will leave your heart behind.

If at that time I had made love to Sara and Soujyu would we have been able to become happy?
