My name is Sarumaru Yataro.
Nickname: Saru.
You can ask me anything related to locks.
There we go~!
But I'm still a virgin.
That being said,
let me sum up the story of the last episode.
The basketball locker room's lock was broken by someone
and the cute Aya's socks and underwear were stolen.
No matter how many times I change the lock,
each time, the criminal uses the pass key.
Although only Aya-chan and the responsible teacher own the pass keys.
The suspects are:
The music teacher,
A club member,
But as always, I haven't noticed anything yet.
Apparently the criminal makes use of the 7 mysteries
in order to commit a crime.
The 'disappearing girl in the sports hall'
or the 'Laboratory Eating Man'.
That sort of thing.
Another weird thing:
7 years ago the same crime happened
and a girl from the volleyball club was driven to suicide.
An even weirder thing-
Oops, wrong.
An even weirder thing is that the girl looked exactly like Aya-chan!
'What the-' While we were shocked about this resemblance-
Sakurai disappeared!
Aya-chan went missing!
Aya-chan!
I went to the basement of the sports hall,
but was hit by someone
Will I be able to save Aya-chan?
Furthermore, will I be saved?!
Episode 3, (*note: as 'story 3')
Final Chapter.
Saru Lock
It's starting, Saru Lock!

-Edogawa Prefecture, City of Tokyo-
-Souryou All Girls High School-
Damn it.
What happened-
Hot coals?
It's tiring.
I'm going to die.
Damn it!
No strength.
I don't have enough strength.
Here's something.
Too naive to think that catching me like this will do.
Aya-chan!
Wait a little more!
I'm sorry.
In the end,
I don't want to die.
Aya-chan...
I'll save you soon.
Saru-san...
I'm not letting you die.
I promise.
Yes.
Aya-chan!
Damn, I can't find her.
Aya-chan...
She can't be-
Yamamoto!
Aya-chan could be in the basement of the sports hall!
You think the criminal is there?
Although that would be good...
I hope she didn't commit suicide.
Right.
Isn't he the 'Laboratory Eating Man'?!
It's hot, it's hot!
He really exists!
He DOES exist.
Let's hurry. Let's hurry, ok?
He exists for real!
No use...
I have to save her.
I promised her.
- Saru! - This won't open!
Saru!
- Saru! - Hold on!
Is Sakurai with you?
- What's with this smell? Charcoal? - Is there charcoal burning in there?!
- Saru! Are you ok? - Don't die on me, now!
You can unlock such an easy lock, can't you?!
I can't...
I...feel...so dizzy.
Saru! If you die, you won't be able to watch AVs anymore!
Saru!
I'll show you my panties, so come out!
Saru!
Do your best!
Saru! Can you hear me?
Well done!
Now, come on.
- Saru! - Saru!
I'll show you my panties as much as you want! Hurry up and get out!
Saru, do your best.
Just a little more.
Once more!
- Saru! - A little more...!
It's open! It's open!
- Saru! - Hang in there!
Sakurai!
Sakurai! Come on!
Damn it.
Why...to such a place.
I remembered the story of the 'disappearing girl in the sports hall',
and I thought I might be able to find a hint to who the criminal could be.
You don't have to worry about such a thing.
You really didn't see anyone?
As soon as I realized, I was unconscious.
The police can't keep silent about this.
That was attempted murder.
Please stop.
If the public gets to know about this, I'll have to return to my parents.
And then I won't be able to play basketball anymore.
I understand your feelings, but there's no choice.
Yamada...
Going that far...it's unforgivable.
Saru...
Seems like she has to take a break from school for a while.
Listen~
The person who hit you in the basement of the sports hall is the criminal, right?
I guess, yes.
Somehow he got his hands on the keys,
got into the girls' dormitory,
and on top of that, he used the 7 mysteries
and tried to kill Aya-chan and me.
You have no clue?
Nope.
This seems to take much longer...
No.
The criminal is definitely someone from the school.
Not someone outside the school?
Isn't it weird?
All the crimes are commited while the students are in the middle of their club activities.
We're only seen by the students because we just aimlessly wander around.
If a stranger were to aimlessly wander around,
there would be a 100% chance of a witness.
That's right.
There are a couple of things which are bothering me.
I'll sneak into the school one more time.
Then everyone please read this out loud.
1, 2~
-Factory room-
And did you figure out anything?
No, I didn't.
Eh?!
This is bad!
An investigation at an all-girls school
can easily fill your head with other things~
- You bastard...! - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I do want to find the criminal.
Just...
the girls' bodies suppress this feeling.
What trouble...
Damn! If only...I wasn't a pervert!
Don't say that!
There's no choice but to transfer Sakurai to another school.
Eh?
It's a fact that the criminal is only after Sakurai.
That's why we have to transfer Sakurai to another school.
No way!
She came to this school especially to play basketball,
and even separated from her parents in order to attend!
We have no choice.
Do you want her to face the same destiny as the girl 7 years ago?!
If I only knew how the criminal made the pass keys.
If you don't know...
how would we know?
And there's no way that Yamada knows, so.
But for the criminal to get his hands on the pass key EVERY TIME,
although only Matsunaka-sensei and Aya-chan own them; I have no idea how he did that.
Excuse us!
What happened?
In order to catch the criminal,
we wanted to tell you anything helpful we might know.
Do you have a clue?
No matter what, please tell us.
Aya,
was a very cheerful girl.
But after this incident, she turned into such a depressed girl.
The teacher said so too.
It might, only 'might' be,
that it was because of her boyfriend.
Boyfriend? Who?
We don't know.
But seems like he was very bothersome, she looked troubled.
Because someone knocked, I opened the door,
he suddenly came in and when I wanted to scream, he duct-taped me.
Could it be...?
Figured something out?
I FIGURED IT OUT!
Aya-chan!
What?
Let's go on a date!
Eh?
Ok? It's ok, right?
Do you think bananas from the Philippines or the ones from Japan are better?
Philippines, I guess?
Eh?! It's the homegrown ones!
Having fun?
Yep, I am.
Do you trust me?
Yes.
Then...let me ask you one thing.
Sure.
Do you have a boyfriend?
I don't.
Really?
Yes, really.
Can I ask you one more thing?
Yes.
Aya-chan...
you know who the criminal is, right?
Eh?
You know, right?
I don't.
You don't?
I don't know.
I see.
Nevermind.
Hm? What do you want?
I...
like you.
You knew, right?
I have something to discuss with you.
Yamada!
Have you investigated the incident from last time?
I'm in the middle of questioning, let's talk about it later.
Just a little bit, come on~
You did it? You? Was it you? What did you do?
On the bus he took a photo under a girl's skirt.
That's not good, you~
Recently we have quite a lot of crimes
committed with cellphones.
Haa~
Well, this policeman is a pervert himself!
I think he understands your feelings!
Stop it!
You told him your cellphone number?
He wouldn't stop calling this one girl. "Are you okay?" He kept asking.
- I never did that. - Sure you didn't.
From the crime 7 years ago.
Did you find some useful information?
I can only think of it as suicide.
Got it.
Thank you.
-Then suddenly, Saru had a flash of brilliance.-
Ah~
Can't be!
I'll definitely protect Aya-chan!
Ah, you're here~
Teacher!
Let's change the key one more time.
We just changed it that last time...
I figured out how the criminal
made the pass key.
Really?
But he must be caught red-handed.
That's why you want to change it another time, right?
Yes.
This time's lock should be REALLY safe.
Then I hand over the pass keys to you.
Use your hip!
Sakurai, well done.
Just as I thought.
What do you mean?
I hadn't thought of this possibility~
To take a picture of the key to make a copy...
What nonsense-
Yee, got the camera!
What an easy life we have nowadays~
You can easily check the photos after you take them.
If we were to search your house, we'd definitely find a lot of photos of the former keys.
Teacher.
Tell them, Sakurai.
Tell them I'm not the criminal.
Sakurai!
You were the one who attacked Aya-chan in the dormitory.
What nonsense!
You guys know it too,
I was drinking at a local bar.
If you don't believe me, ask the owner!
This is just a made-up alibi.
It's only a story to make us believe the criminal is someone else.
How could this be-
It made me wonder, when Aya-chan was attacked...
the cellotape was way too loose.
Are you ok, Sakurai?
What's with that?
This was because...she duct-taped herself!
Aya-chan's explanation was weird.
How could someone who got duct-taped by a man who entered the room
call Matsunaka-sensei?
After you phoned, you duct-taped yourself
and chained yourself, right?
And the one who ordered you to do so...
was you.
Motoyama-sensei...
Just...why would Aya-chan go that far
and listen to Motoyama-sensei's orders?
I couldn't figure that out.
Sakurai?
Why, Aya-chan?
Sakurai.
You didn't receive such orders,
did you?
Because I was...
going out with the teacher.
Because I was...
going out with the teacher.
As I thought.
Somehow it's bad to date a teacher.
I couldn't tell anyone,
I got tired of hiding it.
When I told him I wanted to break up,
he resorted to violence.
How low...
When my things got stolen from the locker room,
I thought it could be- And when I asked him,
he told me, 'Do you want the others to find out about us?'
That's why.
I hoped he would stop one day.
but no matter how many times the lock was changed...
There's no proof!
It's just a coincidence!
I saw it!
I...
I saw the teacher entering the locker room.
Because I liked him, I didn't say anything.
If he were to break up with Aya, I thought he might go out with me.
If we have a witness, then I can easily arrest you.
Even though Aya-chan was threatened, she could have been a witness.
No matter how much she was harrassed, or almost killed in the sports center...
And...
And do you know why she hasn't mentioned your name?
Because
she still liked you even though you broke up!
If she were to say your name,
she thought you'd have to quit school.
Why can't you understand her feelings?!
Aya-chan.
I got it.
If she likes me that much, then I'll die with her.
Apologize, Motoyama!
Don't come any closer!
You're in the way, Yamada!
Yamada!
The incident 7 years ago was my fault too!
I really loved her,
I loved her with all my heart,
but I was a teacher
and she was a student.
Without confessing to her, I kept on stealing her things.
But...that wasn't enough anymore.
I wanted to die with her.
I called her to the basement of the sports hall,
and wanted to die together.
But...I was unable to bring myself to do it.
You're the worst.
Since she died, I hadn't fallen in love with anyone else.
But when Aya appeared
she was a spitting image of my lost love.
Don't talk rubbish.
Aya-chan...
wanted to play basketball
and, like the other girls, have a boyfriend
and go on dates!
To have a normal high school time.
She didn't come here to die with a pervert teacher!
What a pity!
Aya is part of me,
that's why...
that's why she'll die with me!
What a pity!
Aya is part of me,
that's why...
that's why she'll die with me!
- Don't touch it! - I'm sorry.
Let me go!
There, got you!
I did it. Caught him!
Saru, let's go!
Ritsuko, did you see that?
How was I?
Good...
I'm sorry, Sakurai.
I was the fool.
The image of this school is not important at all.
I should have looked earlier for a solution with the help of many others.
-Several days later-
Toraji~
Should I make a hiding-place for your key outside?!
Yes...
Should I make 10 more keys for you too?!
Yes...
That would be bad.
-World's Smallest Erotica Monthly-
- Hello - Hello~
-For Saru-
I'm waiting at Edogawa, Sakurai Aya.
Aya-chan.
When I become an adult, promise to have sex with me.
Can't help it...
It's a promise.
Aya-chan.
Aya-chan!
Saru-san!
What happened,
calling me to such a place?
There is something I urgently have to tell you.
I wonder what it is...
Nothing too exciting, I hope.
Thank you very much.
When you saved me in the basement of the sports hall,
you were really cool!
But...
It's fine.
You don't have to talk much.
Somehow, men are scary.
I...don't think so.
But...Saru-san may be ok, I think.
Aya-chan...
Aya-chan!
On a different note...at his home you can find these things:
Inside of Saru's bag:
Huge amounts of
Porn magazines
Porn DVDs
were hidden.
Oh my~
You filthy man!
I managed to save a pure girl.
You're Sarumaru Yataro, aren't you?
I'm arresting you for a series of thefts in this shopping street.
I...
don't pick locks to steal things!
I have no choice!
This is a very terrible crime.
Widow!!
Saru, run!
