Episode 10
It sure is warm even though its December.
Is it that driver?
When pretty songs play,
Okinawans spin around a huge bon fire?
why Okinawa though Senpai?
You see this ey?
Who is this person ey?
It's prince the assassin.
and what is on the princess's head ey?
A camera?
oh!
See, ey, ey, ey?
Customers, are you making fun of Okinawa?
So you think a clue might be on this camera?
That's exactly what it could be.
Let's go find out
Yeah
You know
this is not going to end until you tell the truth.
I was hired by Shinobu to do it
and isn't it early for you to be out though?
You were convicted of murder right?
It seems the king changed so he was released.
But the one who hired you wasn't Shinobu but him right?
Prince: Shinobu hired me, and I did it!
This is the 108th time!
Oh this?
We gave it to the police as evidence already.
Of course you would.
Let's give up Imaike.
Let's eat some signature dish and go home.
I have the SD card though.
A shit load of them!
Shinobu hired me and I did it!
I can't take this anymore.
I plead!
Yes!
What the heck number 106? This is different from what you said.
That's weird!
He said he would say it all though.
Maybe he wants more money?
He is bragging on twitter.
Look, it says he is receiving money from a Japanese CEO every month.
What do we do, Sensei?
We have used up all our methods.
I know.
We haven't slept, and at our age, we are tired.
Yamasaki Endo out!
Anego seems to be seeing a weird dream.
And stamina wise, we are all at our limits.
What about your beloved prosecutor Hasegawa?
What is he up to?
Imaike when this case is over,
I will propose to Baba Kayo!
Baba?... Oh.
Even if she is like that now,
when she worked in a bank she was among the best.
When her husband cheated on her,
she got back up on her feet,
but was torn away from her son.
And all at once, she realized a lot of things
but that side of her is really attractive.
I want to go back to the girls' bar we were at 6 hours ago.
You don't get it!
All young girls will eventually become old ladies,
but a cute old lady won't become an old lady anymore
Because she already is... I get it.
They are trying to save their Princess.
But my princess is Baba Kayo.
No, all old ladies are someone's Princesses.
Hey, don't film me it's embarrassing.
It's here!
Get the tablet!
Match that video's timing to this one's.
Good!
Okay, let's start at three.
One, two, three.
Shinobu,
thank you for marrying someone like me.
His nipples are standing,
they are super prominent!
So the Princess exploded in laughter because of this.
The mystery has been solved!
What is it?
Mensore,
did you see the video?
Video?
You are being deceived by Shinobu!
Think about it.
Isn't that easier?
stop it.
You are the one who is being brainwashed.
Leave it at that!
Good morning.
The Princess is not that kind of woman.
She is a delicate fragile princess,
who would be unable to sleep if there is just one tiny pea
under a dozen mattresses.
She is a princess!
It's acting.
She is acting like that to buy your sympathy,
and making you old ladies meddle.
Without dirtying her hands herself, you are working for her innocence.
Indeed, the exploding yoghurt Princess.
Stop it!
You have no right to say that!
What, Harumi,
even you are speaking to me like this now?
They have no proof!
How can I admit it?
But you took Yusuke
from Shinobu forcefully!
That was for his sake!
I am a victim!
You too!
And these old ladies too!
Led along by Shinobu
on their way right back to their cages!
A trial is a long ordeal isn't it Sensei?
Sensei?
Hey!
What?!
Sorry, I wasn't listening.
Give it up!
If you let me go,
I will drop the charges against you.
I won't sue you.
Not for Yusuke's kidnapping either.
Right Harumi?
Okay.
Let's just say
we got played a little by five old ladies on Christmas eve.
In the end, that's what it is anyway.
Let's make a deal.
Release me.
We give in.
Well then, that's how it is!
Retreat!
Excuse me.
What?
Sorry.
For what?
Excuse us…
6 hours after the incident,
the safety of the CEO was finally confirmed.
I will never forgive the criminals!
I will hire a lawyer and ask for compensation.
I ask for your cooperation in working towards the arrest of the criminals,
and the closure of this case.
This guy really is scum!
After this,
Cold noodles Aka Enoki Kayo,
Actress aka Daimon Youko,
Anego aka Adachi Akemi,
were arrested by the police.
Right out of prison?!
Four years for attempted murder?
Eeeh!
I didn't know, not at all!
Zaitech aka Katsuda Chinatsu
just arrived at the police station!
This is her second arrest after the tax evasion incident.
She holds her smartphone up before she sashays into the police station.
Dinner!
You stink wimp,
say something!
I'm working late during new year's eve because of you.
Chu chu is the sound of meat being fried.
Mama is cutting up the vegetables.
Papa, you drink your beer,
and once I am done with my homework
let's all eat together~
Yay!
Family smiles are…
Yay!
It's a feast!
Yay!
The food at home
Yay!
is the best!
Lalalalalala…
Hey, stop it what are you doing!
Attention!
Begin!
This wall sure makes you calm.
Here is a gift.
Soggy deep fried Okinawan special buns!
You don't look happy.
I have some happy news for you miss.
Itabashi Goro has dropped the charges against you.
Baba Kayo, you are hereby released!
You are still not happy?
Though it seems it was reluctantly agreed after being persuaded by his wife
to not bring any more shame to them.
Anymore?
Happy news number 2!
The police have been ordered to arrest Itabashi Goro!
YESSS!
We arrest you as a suspect in the Yokoyama Yuki murder case!
But why?
We have new evidence.
So it's that evidence from the other day?
It became a deciding factor.
Yes. Nobruin has done his best.
You weren't an idiot!
You really weren't an idiot after all, Noburin!
In a few moments
the first trial against Itabashi Goro will be held.
If the defendant Itabashi Goro is found guilty in this trial,
prisoner Edogawa Shinobu will likely be released.
Before that do you mind?
The new volume of my series which documents this kidnapping…
Assemble, Assemble, Assemble!
Even though I haven't written the end yet,
10 people have already pre-ordered this!
What the heck, why is his shirt unbuttoned?
He is being proactive.
There are many women present.
Swoon!
Anego!
Princess?
The witness hearing is still a bit ahead,
but this is an important trial involving her future.
Would you allow her to attend?
Permission granted!
Well then, we ask the defendant.
Who was it that hired the assassin to kill Yokoyama Yuki?
Is it, alright if my answer is what was decided in the investigation 6 years ago?
Please answer.
It was Edogawa Shinobu-san.
Well then, everyone look at this.
This video was played more than 10 million times all over the internet.
he yoghurt princess's exploding laughter of victory, a trademark for this case.
On the witness helmet there is a camera meant for capturing the scenery.
One, two… have a nice flight.
It's so small.
It's so far.
Of course it would be,
It's parasailing after all.
Goro-san!
What the heck?
So it was just the nipples.
Let's go eat pickles and go home.
Hey, that rhymed pickles and nipples!
Ehh, what are you doing?
There is a camera on Goro's head as well, or so I thought.
Loook!
Maybe there is something on this camera as well?
Oh, that's right.
I thought so too!
Way to go Imaike!
Hey do you have this?
How many do you even have?
We went through a huge amount of SD cards.
Checking each and every one of them
until we finally found the footage from the camera on the defendant's head.
This is decisive evidence
that the defendant was the one who impersonated Shinobu and hired the assassin.
Shinobu-chan!
Hey!
She is Shinobu,
and I am Shinobu as well.
We are Shinobu.
Both of you?
Pick it up,
take it!
Wrong!
Pick it up with both hands.
With this, whether you do it, or don't do it,
the blame will be on you!
After drinking this I will leave Shinobu.
That's when you need to record a conversation between the two of you.
Come at 12 midnight and kill the target.
Mensore!
Did you watch the video?
Number 69 pleads!
Leave it at that!
good morning.
Princess is not like that!
What is it number 69?
look at this!
What is this?
Why didn't you tell us you had a treasure like this?!
Don't leave me out!
Hmm?
That's an arrest, huh.
What did it say?
Wheter you did it or not, the blame will be on you.
They have no proof!
I can't admit anything!
And he is saying that…
But we have this!
What do we do?
Let's turn the evidence into the police.
No, we will be caught then.
If we get arrested, won't this be evidence?
This is separate from the kidnapping.
Let's turn ourselves in too!
There is no way we can run away.
I want to run away!
The trial will be long right, Sensei?
Hey!
What?!
Sorry I wasn't listening.
Sorry, I want to help the Princess,
but I don't want to disappoint my family.
The most imbecile of them all wants to run away.
Imbecile...
If you turn yourselves in now, I won't bring charges against you.
I won't ask for compensation.
Not for yusuke's kidnapping either
Should I go?
Is that alright, Zaitech?
Yeah. After all, that role is the juiciest, media wise.
Well..
Goro: Let's make a deal.
Release me.
We give up.
After the earlier tax evasion incident, this is her second arrest.
Holding her smartphone high, she walks triumphantly into the police station
Silence! .
On the boat, the defendant
made the assassin Prince hold a knife he had brought with him with both hands
to get his finger prints, and then threatened him.
Come at midnight and do it.
The one who hired Prince was you wasn't it?
Please answer!
Yes
That's all
We will have a short break.
After the break the defence will have the word.
Yes!
I wish to ask the defendant about Edo Milk Corporation,
and the relation between this incident and the company.
The defendant's father was an employee in Edogawa Corporation.
Yes, but he wasn't an executive.
He was on the very bottom.
A factory worker and a delivery man.
That's why, when I was a kid I always loved riding in his truck.
Hello we are Edogawa Milk Corporation, thanks for your patronage!
Let's try this?
It was a contest,
where all employees could suggest new products.
Eh, by new products he couldn't mean!
Edoko yoghurt.
One of their best selling products.
I passed the audition.
Which means?
The Chibi CEO!
You are fired!
The line where the small kid who was but the son of a deliveryman,
told the current CEO he was fired became a common topic.
They even recorded a song about it.
I was proud!
As a kid, I was fawned over as the Chibi CEO.
That experience might have been what turned my life in the wrong direction.
No one remembers the chibi CEO anymore.
I remembered!
Chibi CEO,
that song
is the Chibi CEO's song isn't it?
Ahh, sorry!
That's all,
please continue.
And after that, the company faced an economic crisis,
and your father was laid off.
Yes,
and then…we had to leave our house.
It was a pitiful, and humiliating event.
It hurt my heart deeply as a child!
When I grow up I will become the CEO!
That line from the commercial guided my life like a mantra.
So he is trying to get them to take his circumstances into consideration.
That's why I applied for a job in Edogawa Milk Corporation.
15 years after the commercial,
nobody remembered the Chibi Ceo.
I worked myself up.
Rising past my co-workers,
I was noticed by my superiors,
and became Vice President.
At night, I would go to exclusive gatherings…
Goro-san!
to broaden my persona connections.
May I introduce him?
He is Itabashi-san.
He is a candidate to become the next CEO of Edogawa Milk Corporation.
Ooh no, not at all!
Our company is one that is passed down within the CEO's family.
Why you!
This is my daughter.
I plan to give her the company one day,
but she is pretty naive you see.
Please guide me well.
The pleasure is mine!
Future president,
I proposed to date Shinobu with marriage in mind.
Yes, to become President.
Because she does not have it in her to become president,
no matter how you look at her.
That was fun!
I'm hungry.
Yeah,
what do you want to eat?
whatever you want.
Yuki, why are you here?
Shinobu, can you wait in the bar?
Let's talk outside.
Like I was told, I waited in the bar.
Shinobu?
Mensoru
You are Shinobu right?
Ahh, the parasailing man.
Do you remember what time it was?
It was before midnight,
but past 11pm.
Shinobu got drunk, and she was bothersome.
Prince worry, had promised to meet at midnight.
It is annoying.
Hmmm?
You want to kill?
Not that much,
but I kinda wish she would just die.
Shinobu and Goro you want to kill Yuki? Okay?
Not Goro just me.
Just Shinobu.
Shinobu kill Yuki?
Yes, yes.
Prince will kill Yuki for Shinobu.
Kill her, kill her!
And so you had fabricated evidence of her being the client.
From here, we will move on using the record from the trial 6 years ago.
11:45pm
you left the hotel,
and headed towards the cliff that later became the murder site.
When the witness arrived at the cliff,
he stabbed the defendant in the back with a knife.
With this disguise, the defendant could pretend that he also was a victim.
Next you stabbed Yokoyama Yuki-san's in the chest,
and pushed her off the cliff.
The witness's finger prints were detected on both the blade and sheath.
From the sheaf?
Yes?
Are you kidding me?
The sheaf should have been thrown in the sea.
Defendant, don't talk when you have not been entitled to speak.
Oh, sorry!
It was shown in the video so I had that kind of feeling.
Let's see…
Noburin, get it together!
Oh its true, the sheaf was never discovered.
He needs to sharpen up!
My apologies!
Huh?
Did someone throw it in the ocean?
Who did?
Did you?
Why?
It would be important evidence with his finger prints.
Let's see, who should I ask?
Did you stab her?
Not you?
Then what about the wound on his back ?
I was hired by Shinobu and did it.
Shut up!
As if I could leave it to a peasant like you!
Move!
Good thing your dreams came true!
Chibi CEO,
good bye.
That's what is no good.
Huh?
Even if I date you or Shinobu,
I can't become President.
do you know why?
It's because you tattled about us to Shinobu's father.
He told me
that as long as he was alive I would never become President!
You are fired!
You are fired.
A few days later,
he collapsed and almost died,
and he reconsidered,
letting the money speak for itself.
What ... What are you doing?
Like you say,
Shinobu has been sheltered since birth.
She can't even choose between fish and meat
and she asks me to choose for her.
Stop it!
Then she says, "Ahh, it was yummy!"
"It was the right thing to make you choose for me!"
She is that kind of woman!
Ow!
What are you? What? What?!
You are a sacrifice.
A sacrifice so that I,
a superior human can live on.
Inferior humans will become a stepping stone for superior humans.
That is your only purpose to live in this world.
Don't touch me idiot!
Idiot?
Ow!
Who is the idiot!
If you touch it,
you will be suspected of stabbing me.
Who is- Ow!
History confirms it all.
One superior hero,
sacrificed hundreds of inferior peasants.
That's how humanity evolved.
I will put the blame on Shinobu,
and I will be president!
You are a sacrifice for that.
There is nothing wrong with this,
this is what is best for the company.
What is best for the world.
It is what is the best for you.
You didn't come, so I did it.
You should get caught by the police,
and tell them you did it.
"I was hired by Shinobu and did it!"
So he didn't just hire him, he did it himself.
I was hired by Shinobu, and did it!
Shut up!
Don't you understand when I'm telling you to shut up?
I did it!
I killed Yokoyama Yuki!
You satisfied now?
Good work for today!
That is all.
Lastly from the witness,
is there anything you would like to add?
Yes,
let's see.
Ummm,
I think he is a very unfortunate person.
How was it,
when you finally became president?
Did you feel fulfilled?
You are a pitiful person.
Unable to love anyone,
not even yourself.
It's sad.
You are a lonely person.
Your husband admitted his crimes.
I see.
Yes,
to us this was an unavoidable fight.
But to my lady it was an invasion of privacy wasn't it?
We are sorry.
But I'm glad.
He had nightmares every night.
It looked painful.
He would wake up soaked with sweat every morning.
He usually put the blame on his thick futon,
but from today on he can probably sleep soundly.
Yes.
Let's go home,
okay?
What about daddy?
Isn't he coming too?
He still has work,
okay?
I don't think..
that these 6 years have been wasted.
Things I took for granted,
I have learned to appreciate.
People's goodwill, kindness and weakness
and meddling,
because, can you believe it,
they are old ladies I didn't know.
Pure strangers,
people I would never have met unless I went to prison.
Old ladies revealing my innocence? That sounds suspicious,
but I tried believing.
I had to believe them,
and because I did,
I am here.
Princess…
I experienced many things,
but it was hard.
It was frustrating and lonely.
Why me?
Why just me?
Shinobu. I'm sorry!
Don't apologize!
Not here,
not in that way!
Don't apologize that easily just to get it over with!
I'm sorry.
The suffering we experienced
is something you do not know of.
But the suffering you are about to experience
is something we know well.
Atone for your sins properly.
That's all I have to say.
Oh my,
he is the handsomest right now.
Case closed.
Princess!
Number 69 pleads!
We assembled!
Assemble!
The petty Chibi CEO-case's conviction trial was held here and
the prosecution has sentenced the defendant to unlimited prison service.
You're late, pretend actress!
Sorry, sorry!
The shooting took longer than expected.
and actress has signed up with an agency as an extra.
She is now appearing in dramas here and there.
Hey, I told you to mute your phone!
Who is it?!
You, old lady?
You're wrong!
I am actress!
Anego left the yakuza group to Wakeno,
and lives a prosperous life.
Hey, bring Anego that red thing.
Yes boss!
Wakeno, I am not 60 yet! (60 is one of the biggest birthdays in japan. its called kanreki)
It's just in name,
It's just for show.
No, no, no!
What is this?
No, no, no!
Stay calm, Aka Enoki Kayo,
is now working as my, Katsuda Chinatsu's private cosmetician.
No, don't come to my work place like this.
This kind of thing is bothersome!
Bothersome?
I'm just showing you my serenity.
Hey,
you drew my eyebrows too bluntly!
I am not the prison head.
Sorry!
Stay calm, stay calm!
and the princess
was finally released after 6 years.
Huh?
Why is there no media here?
What the heck?
Sensei, aka Wakai Futaba,
was rehired at the female prison of correction and independence
because of the prison head's goodwill.
After all, Sensei looks best in a uniform.
She is not a prison guard anymore.
she is a "shiein".
As a civilian,
it's the lowest rank.
She is here!
Princess!
Baba Kayo!
good work!
We depend on you in the future.
Hey!
What is it, number 114?
Did you forget something?
Are you okay?
Look, she's smiling!
She is smiling really bright!
We are not blind, Baba Kayo!
Yusuke!
Go to her.
Who are you auntie?
I'm sorry,
I didn't know how to explain it.
She is a princess.
A princess ?
Wow, nice to meet you princess!
Slowly he will realize one day,
right?
Let's go.
Attention!
I'm heading back.
Tsun… Tsun,
the birds are singing.
Mama is cutting up vegetables.
Papa is reading the newspaper,
and once I have washed my face,
let's all eat together.
Yay Yay
A family smiles
Yay Yay
Three months later
Edogawa Shinobu re-established Edo Milk as Edogawa Milk Corporation,
and assumed the position as it's 5th generation president.
We have been in your care!
You are fired.
Oh please, president!
When I grow up I will be the president!
The super popular…
Edoko yoghurt!
