The Extravagance of Goemon Ishikawa XIII
Hey, Monsieur Samurai.
Sorry, but all prop weapons have to be checked.
Is that a sword?
First, I would ask you to look at this.
Whoa, now. Too close.
You owe me a great deal for this, Lupin.
Jigen, the photo.
On it.
Meet Chloé Cazal.
She was close friends with recently deceased Belgian millionaire, André Regnie.
As a token of their friendship, she was given a special necklace.
It hardly seems valuable.
Open it up and inside, there's a gem that'll take your breath away.
Sell that and you'd be set up for life.
Apparently, some Russian nobles had it made when the Russian Revolution kicked off.
And with that kind of back story, the original owners' descendants want it back bad.
So they've hired a real nasty bunch to "take care" of Chloé.
And Chloé, realizing she was in hot water,
took the necklace and got the hell out of Belgium.
And she is in that city?
That's one of three possibilities.
Her parents used to live in that city. They owned an old-timey bistro.
But her best friend apparently lives in Geneva.
And in Sicily, there's a hotel reservation under her name.
We're playing hide-and-seek with Chloé Cazal, in other words.
Allow me to confirm one thing.
This job is not simply an attempt to court the affections of some random woman, is it?
Goemon... Please just trust me on this one, will ya?
The honor of the Lupin family is riding on getting that jewel!
Excuse me! Can we take a picture?
Who's he meant to be cosplaying as?
He's a samurai.
Y'know, the guys who use ninjutsu.
Nuh-uh!
A samurai wields a sword and fights with honor!
Hey, can I take a picture with you?
I refuse.
Stop it! Let go of me!
Hm, should I?
You have to help Chloé!
Chloé?!
If you ask me, you'd be better off just bein' nice to us, girly.
See you soon, sweetheart.
You know Chloé, boy?
Yeah. She moved into our neighborhood a while back.
She's nice. A really kind person.
But... she seems sorta sad for some reason.
She came by to say hi, and talked about how she's only going to use
local ingredients in the bistro.
Mama thinks she's seen more than her fair share of trouble.
What kind of trouble do you think she's in?
There are as many kinds of trouble as there are kinds of people.
Not prying is an act of mercy.
Okay! I get what you're saying.
Incidentally, I need a place to lodge.
No way! Wow, this has gotta be fate!
Right here!
This is my house! It's a bed and breakfast!
You can have this room!
We were changing the decor so it'd tie in with the event,
but we didn't finish up the rooms on the second floor in time.
It was a huge waste of effort, really.
How much for the room?
Two-hundred euros a night.
Two-hundred for this?!
That's what Mama said...
I am not sure when I will be leaving.
I will pay for an extension if I stay longer.
Wow, you're rich!
Are you the shogun or something?!
Uh, hey, look.
If you're gonna hole up in your room,
Mama wants to know if you want your meals brought up to you.
If you would, please.
The thing is...
Breakfast's included in the price of the room,
but lunch and dinner are separate,
and there's a charge for room service.
So be it.
And, uh...
You have to pay in advance, too.
Their security system's out 'cause they couldn't afford the payments.
This'll be a piece of cake, bro.
I'm not so sure. I hear Lupin's motley crew is gunning for it, too.
Okay, it's open.
I wonder where that little madam is...
Hey! What's wrong?!
Is someone there?
Help! Someone call the police!
This is going to be a long night.
Very conspicuous for a shinobi.
Good morning, Goemon.
My name is Chloé Cazal.
Chloé's place never gets any customers.
So I had an idea!
What is it?
Mr. Samurai, please help me.
Go ahead and take it!
Ready!
Thanks to your presence, business is booming today.
I am pleased to hear that.
I am going outside for some fresh air.
Wow, you look really authentic.
This is what we made today.
I want you to have half, Goemon.
That hardly seems enough.
I-I guess you're right. I'm sorry.
It was just a samurai joke, Chloé!
It is not in my nature to jest.
If you have money to pay me, you should put some toward your security system.
There won't always be someone watching out for you.
Does that mean last night's good Samaritan... was you?
I know nothing about that.
I turn in early, you see.
You're such a cutie...
'Sup, Goemon! How's it going?
How did you know where I was?
I just phoned around till I found out where you were staying.
I gotta tell you, buddy, this place is a dead end.
Nothing but tourists, and I've got squat to show for my endeavors.
I was wondering how things were going on your end.
Presumptuous tourists have me at my wits' end, as well.
Shhh, quiet.
I have to wonder why you chose a time like this to—
You can do it, Goemon!
I just know you can score that necklace for me!
So this was for a woman...
You've got it all wrong, Goemon—
Does no one sleep at night?
Who could have done this?
This is Chloé?
Look out!
The grape man?
He knows what he is doing.
Run, samurai...
I do not leave debts unpaid.
Are you related to Chloé?
Nah, I work for Sirena Security.
You've seen the stickers all over town, right?
The bistro is part of my beat.
Oh, and my name's Bruno. Nice to meet you.
Your devotion goes beyond simply being professional.
When you get a bunch of thugs stomping around the place,
pretending to be tourists, and all targeting the same woman...
Well, you get curious.
Do you know this woman?
Ow, ow, ow!
Ow, that really hurts...
It's Chloé Cazal, right?
I think she lives somewhere in Belgium.
I last ran into her about three years ago.
She didn't renew her contract because she couldn't afford our services.
Then, the woman in the bistro...
That's the real question here.
To be honest, I was hoping you'd fill me in on who she is.
She calls herself Chloé Cazal.
Seems that way.
But the locals have lived here for a long time.
Anyone would see through a lie that obvious.
Well, unless you're from out of town, of course.
Anyway, what's-your-name... I require rest...
Can you watch over her in the meantime?
Sure. But I'm a professional.
Which means...
What do you think that'll get you?
Think about who you're up against. You get what you pay for, pal.
Money is no object.
Huh.
What's your relationship with this girl, anyway?
I am unsure.
Perhaps, we are simply ships, passing in the...
She... helped...
A crane? No... it was a turtle...
Huh? Fine, just go get some sleep.
Hey, Goemon, you there?
Chloé wants to have dinner with us! She says she's got good news!
Understood. I will be down shortly.
Do you like it?
Indeed.
The wine and the ingredients for this meal were all sourced locally.
I want everything we sell to be local.
Even though you can't afford electricity?
Well, the thing is...
I think everything's on the verge of coming good.
Maybe after all the trouble I've been through, God's finally on my side.
This "god" you speak of... Is it André Regnie?
Have I not slept enough?
It's Sicilian?
Chloe... this wine... where...
Mr. Bruno gave it to me.
He said he was a... friend of...
Chloé?! What's wrong?
Jean... Get help... The police...
Okay, I will!
I showed up because you were acting a little weird, but...
Goemon, you sly dog!
I'm impressed.
Hey, watch it!
Fine! We'll take it by force!
Rise and shine, Goemon.
I've got the loot.
Time to clear out.
I will not let you take the necklace...
Sorry about this!
Well, hello, there!
I-It's Lupin!
He's got the necklace! After him!
Get a car!
Awaken!
Holy crap, is that Lupin III?!
For real?
Are you a friend of his?
He and I seem to have differing views on what constitutes a friendship.
Now, Bruno, stop Lupin!
You sure?
Dead or alive?
I have no preference.
Press it yourself.
Fire!
It's ready when you are.
This does not require a blade, nor honor.
Click.
Aw, gimme a break!
I surrender...
Y'know, it looks convincing, but it's a fake.
What?
When did you notice?
At the bistro when I took it.
Then, why take it at all?!
I figured you two might want some alone time!
And who's this picture of?
Oh, her? That's Chloé when she was younger.
Thought it might help motivate you!
I am going to cut you.
Cut! Cut! Cut! And cut!
Stop that!
Easy now!
They really are friends.
I'm sorry. My real name is Inés Cazal...
I didn't mean to trick you. But...
What do you think of this valuation?
Hey, Lupin. I found her.
She's celebrating without a care in the world.
The people who wanted the necklace back were looking everywhere for Mama.
I wanted to make sure she could forget all her troubles...
while enjoying a much-needed vacation.
In other words, I guess you could say I was bait.
Goemon?
Uh, Mama gave me this invoice for you to look at.
Because you let other people stay in that other room without asking...
That's against the rules, y'know?
Chloé... Or rather, Inés... Would it be possible to work in your bistro?
I cannot afford this.
The Padar Kingdom's greatest treasure, the Bloody Teardrop...
Turns out, the princess who has it is attending a school here in France!
And she's classmates with Amy!
Seems like she's a real oddball,
but when it comes to weirdness, Amy takes some beating.
Looks like they're getting along well, which makes Uncle Lupin feel all fuzzy inside!
All right, since I'm here, anyway,
I might as well check this school out!
Next time: The Bow, The Princess, and the Terrorist.
The Bow, The Princess, and the Terrorist
Time to infiltrate an all-girls' school. Gotta make sure I look sharper than usual!
