About that special power,
it's not like I could believe in it at first, either.
Even now, I sometimes doubt myself.
But it's the truth.
I can see feelings through patterns.
4 out of 5 senses...
With sound, smell, taste and touch, all lost,
working as a detective, only relying on the sense of sight,
is a man named Higurashi Tabito.
With those eyes, he can even see inside a person's heart.
That strange of a person exists.

Okay, it's done.
Good morning!
Wow, you made this, Papa?
Yeah.
I have to practise making bentos for tomorrow's excursion.
You're making me a bento?
Yay!
Hey, hey...
Don't push yourself so hard!
I can at least make a bento.
Yukiji's are delicious too,
but I prefer Papa's.
Why's that?
Because Papa's cooler than Yukiji.
Oh, I see.
- Hey! - Huh?
Thank you.
Don't get me wrong, being cool...
- Is about the face. - I know! Hey, the chopsticks!
So,
how is Aniki's culinary skill?
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.
Aniki...
This...
Did you weigh the salt?
Hm?
Look, Aniki... You can't taste.
If you don't use a measuring spoon or something,
I'll die of shock!
Sorry! I saw the smell, though.
Don't use your eyes when cooking!
Be quiet and eat!
Papa went to the effort of making it.
Okay.
Let's go inside.
Okay?
Oh!
Tei-chan, good morning!
Tei, what do you say?
Sensei's from the Sakura class, right?
I'm in the Squirrel class.
Greet them no matter which class!
- Tomoko-sensei, good morning! - Hey, wait!
Good morning!
Sorry about that, even though you're so kind to us.
- It's fine... - Yamakawa-sensei!
Yes?
Good morning!
- Hurry, hurry! - Then...
Ah, that hurts...
Take off your shoes.
[Enoki Clinic]
So how are Aniki's eyes?
In comparison to before,
they're getting better.
Really?
But,
it's just like if a rotten corpse turned into a fresh corpse.
Use a better metaphor!
In any case,
if he goes blind one day, there's no other chance.
What about the surgery you mentioned the other day?
Oh. I looked it up in a bit more detail.
Um... hey!
Yes?
Bring me that thing.
That thing?
Oh! Okay.
Ajapa~
There are still only a few successful cases in America.
The likelihood is under 20%, it seems.
If a time comes when it's all no use,
it may be 20%, but I'll make him do the surgery.
Including the operation and travel expenses,
it will be 2 to 3 hundred million yen.
Well,
if we work hard, we can get that amount somehow.
We're not a normal detective agency.
Only...
To save...
You have to use Tabito's eyes.
Using his eyes brings him closer to going blind... right?
Ajapa!
Ah! Ajapa!
Ah, wait-- That tickles!
Wait... Wait!
Ajapa!
Please help.
Okay.
Ah...
This is Yukiji-kun, the one I just mentioned.
Hello.
Who's this?
She said she has a request.
What? What?
I told you not to take requests on your own!
At least do this! Especially from here on.
I get it. You don't have to be so mad.
Huh?
What is it?
These ones, right?
Yes.
Go.
Hey, let go!
Who are you?
I'm gonna leak, I'm gonna leak...
Take care of the rest on your own.
Okay.
3, and!

What are you doing?
Oh, Director.
It just felt kind of nostalgic.
Huh?
You know this song?
Yes...
Huh?
Oh, yeah!
You went to this nursery school.
Yes. I sang it all the time as a kid.
I didn't know this song.
We didn't sing it since we moved here, right?
Now that you mention it, you're right.
I sorted through the storeroom and found this sheet music.
Since we have it...

There are a lot of kids with complicated home lives,
so I thought maybe "Dad and Mum" might be a bit...

are building a relationship like a real father and daughter, though.
Yes...
That's right!

Boss, osu!
President.
Ah...
President, osu!
- Young master... - President!
President. Here they are.
Thank you for waiting.
I'm the president of Murayama Sons, Murayama.
You're surprisingly young.
I only just took over.
For you to abduct us all of a sudden...
Your way of doing things is pretty out of date, huh?
Sorry.
We were in a hurry,
and were rude.
My apologies.
You asses.
Yes.
No... I mean, stop with the finger-cutting and stuff, okay?
We're sorry!
Um... what are you doing?
If you're too strict on the youngsters these days,
they run away.
We use a point system to settle things.
Huh?
You're Razor Ramon HG, got it?
Huh?
If you get 10 stamps, you get a punishment.
- Punishment? - Yes.
We spend a month in non yakuza-like clothing.
What are you looking at?
Oh, I see.
Um...
So what is your business?
I've heard rumours about you two.
Using these mysterious eyes, you can find anything.
A top-notch detective pair.
And above all...
Tight-lipped.
In exchange, it's pretty expensive, you know?
So you want us to find the culprit who cracked the safe.
Then, where did you leave the key to the safe?
Young master... Ah!
It's in a drawer of the president's desk.
And the key to open that drawer?
The drawer isn't really locked.
You're sure careless.
There's an electric lock on the front door.
Still.
Sorry, everyone.
Um...
Can you please stand along the walls?
Huh?
Oi! Along the walls, he said!
Thank you.
Aniki...
Do you need eye drops?
No, it's fine.
Thanks.
Um...
Among your circle...
Does anyone wear boots?
It seems not...
But I can see tracks of boots.
Wait a minute!
Are you saying you can see footprints?
Yes, I can see.
Huh?
Ah!
Is there?
The soba delivery guy.
He always wears boots.
Is that person the culprit?
Ah, no... Uh...
Well...
Please hang on.
Yukiji.
You don't have to push yourself.
Yeah.
Um...
What exactly is happening right now?
He's looking at the emotions.
Emotions?
Yes. They look like wild vegetables.
Surprise looks like bracken.
When you're happy, it's mugwort.
And when you're angry, it looks like a flower bud of a fuki.
Young master, these guys are just swindlers!
Um...
Has there been a female entering and exiting recently?
Women are prohibited here.
Ah...
No wonder.
What is it?
Um, well...
About the culprit you're looking for...
You can get angry if I'm wrong.
Never mind, hurry up!
Ah, okay.
Well...
The culprit...
Probably...
The culprit...
Me?
No.
- Then who is it?! - No, no...
From the footprints I just saw...
Emotions of nervousness emerged.
A strange amount of nerves.
It's likely they're from the culprit.
- So those footprints and the boss' shoes... - President!
Tsk. Ahh, those...
Do they match with the president's?
No, about that...
Ah.
Because those are high heels,
the culprit is probably a woman.
Then, why did you point to me?
Well, earlier, boss said...
The president.
Yeah.
The president just mentioned that women were prohibited in this agency.
Women are prohibited here.
When I asked that question,
I saw that emotions of reserve emerged from everyone here.
Reserve...
Which means?
My guess is that...
Everyone...
Even though you know a woman has been in here,
they felt reserved and couldn't say it.
The reason they held back,
was probably because a person in a higher position than themselves,
is breaking the rules.
So,
the person with the highest position here...
Boss...
I got it wrong. President...
That's you.
So the culprit is the woman you brought in here.
Your wife, or...
Or if you have a lover,
it may be that person.
Ah, um... You can get angry if I'm wrong.
President.
It's her.
It's Nail.
Look for Nail!
Yes, sir!

Aren't you in a good mood, Yamakawa?
Oh, senpai. Heading home?
Is it another mixer?
That's right.
Things are going well for you, though.
Going well?
With Tei-chan's papa.
No, it's not like we're going out.
Oh!
So it's just a physical relationship?
What?
Scary!
Wait, Yamakawa, you have pretty gums.
Seriously...
Well, didn't you go to make meals for them?
I started to think I'm a nuisance instead, so lately I'm holding back.
And it'd be a problem if they thought I was picking favourites.
"No matter what you think,"
"when I see that lonely face,"
"I can't just sit still."
Huh?
You said that.
So, work hard with the late shift.
Bye-nara!
Alright.
Tei-chan.
Say, can sensei join too?
I won't not let you join.
Oh...
Thanks.
So, what should I do?
I'm the princess and sensei is the rat servant, okay?
Rat?
So, Mr. Rat Servant?
Um...
What do you need?
I will make the castle higher,
so you be quiet for a while.
Tei.
Ah, Papa!
Goodbye.
No, no...
Weren't you happy too?
If we found it, I'd be happy.
But we shouldn't ask Higurashi-san.
I said so earlier, didn't I?
Sorry. I don't see what you're talking about.
I'm sorry.
The truth is,
old documents for this nursery school came out of the storeroom.
Well, it was nothing big, just stuff like sheet music.
But...
there was a record of a time capsule buried 20 years ago.
Time capsule?
Yamakawa-sensei was really happy too.
Because, it's a capsule sensei buried as a child.
Huh?
Ah...
I went to this nursery school.
Well, it was in a different place, though.
"I might figure out something about my first love!"
And getting all excited like pya~ pya~
I don't think I did.
No, you were.
Anyway,
asking Higurashi-san to look for it is unreasonable.
If it was recorded, someone dug it up, right?
About that,
they wrote that it had been buried,
but I couldn't see a record of what's important, where it was buried.
At any rate, this isn't something to ask Aniki to do.
What's more, on the site where Nozomi Nursery School was then,
- they're building a pachinko parlour. - We're not doing it.
And construction starts tomorrow!
At this rate, we won't be able to get the capsule.
- Listen! - Before that,
I'd like you to locate it. For a reasonable price.
- She's shameless! - I'll do it.
Huh?
- What are you saying, Aniki? - I decided to do it.
But, Aniki...
Memories should be treasured.
You just...
I get it.
But, there are some conditions.
Are you really doing this now?
Construction starts tomorrow, right?
So we have no choice but to look at night!
Right...
Hey!
We'll accept the request.
In exchange, this is the last - and I mean last - time we use Aniki's eyes.
I understand.
Huh?
We ask for your favour!
Um...
Who are these people?
Yukiji-senpai asked us to help.
Allow us to join you.
It's for Yukiji-senpai.
- We'll definitely find it! - Yeah!
Sorry!
It's night time,
so quietly please.
Alright!
I'm counting on you guys!
Excuse me!
Who are you?
I invited him. He's a hoodlum called Kamekichi.
Um...
Is it true that there's a bonus for finding it?
Yeah. I wouldn't lie.
Is that for everyone? Or, the one who found it...
... on his own?
Um... I haven't thought about it that far.
Uh... Well then, individually.
Let's do this!
Shh!
You're too noisy!
Shh!
Why did you accept this?
I had no choice.
Aniki's more stubborn than he looks.
And...
And?
I've said this before too.
Why Aniki only eats U~man sticks.
Aniki could sense with things other than his eyes when he was a kid, too.
He says if it's a taste he remembers eating then,
he can feel it a little, even now.
Maybe that's why,
sometimes Aniki is strangely fixated on memories.
A time capsule is the embodiment of a memory.
Of course he'd want to find it.
But...
Since what's in the capsule is my memories...
I feel kind of sorry.
Hey!
A keyring you received from the boy who was your first love?
Well, maybe not 'received'...
And since Aniki's nice...
Isn't it that he can't even leave a stranger's feelings alone?
Or maybe...
Maybe?
My type is a more flashy woman, though.
Huh?
Alright guys! Let's keep going a bit longer.
Yes.
Wait, where are you going?
To work! With all of these people, you'll find it!
Good work today!
Um...
Yes?
Ah... Are you all Yukiji-san's juniors?
No... Not juniors...
I'd say it's a gathering of people who have to return a favour.
Return a favour?
What is Yukiji-san?
Well, for Yukiji-senpai's sake too,
we'll definitely find it.
It's hot!
Ah! It's hot!
It's hot!
Thank you for your help.
Crap...
Hey, run!
That hurt!
How weak.
Ouch.
I'm really sorry about that.
Um...
I've been telling you,
- I've been looking for a time capsule. - That's it.
Since you keep saying "capsule, capsule"...
Huh? On a construction site at night?
Capsule?
Of course we'd think you're drug dealers.
Why does it come to that?
Why?
In a word, maybe a misunderstanding, or jumping to conclusions...
Lately things like that are increasing, or...
In our jurisdiction, drug trafficking has increased and we're investigating that.
And we got this report during that time.
And you... Sorry, what was your name?
- Yamakawa... - Oh, it's Yamakawa-san. Yamakawa-san.
You really don't take a good picture.
It's like makeup from the post-war period of economic growth.
Right? Here.
Ah, sorry.
Doi-kun. While you're at it, write that for me.
This?
A written apology. Mine.
Onegaishimatsusho. [Onegaishimasu - please, Matsusho - written apology]
Onegaishimatsusho? [Onegaishimasu - please, Matsusho - written apology]
- Masuko-san... - So, Yamakawa-san...
I know you didn't mean bad.
But trespassing is trespassing, yeah? Get it?
Yes.
Then, let's shake on it.
Good.
I might have gone a bit too far tonight,
but no suing, tweeting,
or posting photos on Insta, okay?
Yes.

... did I put in the time capsule?

Come on!
Ah! Stop!
To Shinagawa station.
Do you know them?
Huh?
Ugh.
Change of clothes...
Raincoat...
Come on, it's 8:20!
Both of you, hurry up!
We have an excursion today!
Hurry up!
Sorry, sorry.
You're so loud!
Look, you're forgetting your bento!
Okay, let's hurry.
Quickly.
Okay, okay...
- Uwah! - Woah...
Huh?
Good morning!
The excursion!
I mean, I'm not suspicious.
In the everyday ruckus last night,
I lost my backpack with everything I own, I can't eat anything,
I'm just a humble lightly dressed guy.
- Are you saying it's my fault? - Oh, no...
That's not it. I just want work.
If there's a job where I can get a lot of money in an instant,
I'll do anything.
Are you in debt or something?
That's nice! You asked me!
For this lowly Tsuruta Kamekichi, it's been 2 years since moving from Fukuoka to Tokyo,
I made a promise with my mum to go back home if I didn't become important before I turn 25.
But two days from now is that 25th birthday!
And yet...
The truth is, I'm penniless.
So?
I want to do whatever it takes to get a huge sum in 2 days.
And show mum the bills--
A wad of cash... A wad of cash!
I want to show mum the bills,
"What do you think? I've become such a great man."
I want to say that!
But that way,
you'd be lying to your mum.
Ah... yes.
But...
I've caused so much trouble for her.
Even if it's a lie,
I want to show her how fine her son's become!
Mum!
Oh yeah, Hakata's this way.
Mum!
Wait for me!
Shut up!
- It's not that there isn't work. - Eh?
The excursion!
- Excursion, excursion! - Wait just a bit longer!
Come on! What are you doing?! We're going to leave!
Sorry. Tei-chan only just made it too.
Sensei! Is Youko-sensei coming too today?
- That's right! - Yay!
Wait everyone, doesn't it make you happy to be with me?
Okay, let's leave.
I've already looked over all of those.
The place it was buried isn't written anywhere.
Yes, but we'll check over it once more.
Sorry.
We're doing this because you asked!
Oh yeah, Yukiji.
Huh?
Can you and Kamekichi-kun go to the construction site ahead of me?
Why?
Since construction is starting today, we have to do something to stop it.
When it comes to that teacher, you sure are frantic.
Ah... I was kidding.
I'll do it.
But I don't need Kamekichi.
Huh?
I'm leaving you behind, help out here.
Ussu!

But you forgot it, right?
That's enough.
Tei-chan.
I'll give you mine, so come over here?
I don't want it.
It's stupidly huge.
Where are they?
Hello?
No... not yet.
Now?
M-Mori Mori...
A park called Mori Mori.
No, I mean... A forest park called Mori Mori.
It really is! This is wonderful!
As expected!
It was tough, but I sold 3 knives while I was at it.
Huh?
But it's all filled with junk.
A pinecone?
Oh my, oh my...
Hey, this is rotting! It's rotting...
This is rotting too! Disgusting.
Oh, what's that?
Oh, how nostalgic!
- A tape? - A video tape, from back then!
It doesn't have a name on it.
I'd like to watch it.
No, no, no...
- You can't just watch it on your own! - Where are you going?
There should be an old tape deck in the storeroom!
You totally want to watch it!
This stinks!
There's nothing decent in here.
There!
That's a relief.
Hey!
Huh?

Ah, my bento!
She looks so happy.

Ugh!
Hey, wait... My bento!
Huh?
What are you doing?
- Where are you going? - Wait!

- Oh no... Is this me? - Definitely not.

Oh.
- That friend's name is... - Yeah, yeah!
Ah.
Hey... Higurashi-san!
Sorry about that.
I was trying to make it louder.
Aniki, you just look at the movement of the mouth, volume has nothing to do with it.
Hm?
What is it?
Scuse me.
Yes?
Director, you have a call.
Okay.
So it was your lover?
Yes, it was.
However...
An accomplice?
Yes. I'm sending the image now.
Hm?

And she says the stolen goods are in that man's care.
Are you trying to find where he is?
Wait!

And you?
- Didn't you just say you were in Mori Mori park? - That thing got exposed!
- Um... - Shh!

Huh? What are you doing?

Of course, I'm alone.
So hurry up and tell me where you are!
- Hello? - The bento!
Wait... Tei-chan!
Hello? Kame?
HELLO? KAME!
He suddenly stopped talking...
Hm?
A pistol?
Yeah...
That idiot's no different from an amateur.
Even if he stole this, he probably couldn't get money for it and didn't know what to do.
This is bad!
Tei-chan has...
Eh?
Then aren't you a thief?
No... I said I wanted money, but I didn't think she'd steal a pistol!
Rather than that...
How I feel knowing that I'm being cheated on with a yakuza...
Do you get it?
- Let go! - Shut up.
I don't.
In any case, don't involve Tei-chan.
You're the ones who came to chase me!
I'll call the police.
Spare me from that!
- My bento! - Shut up!
Huh?
She left her phone...
Tei-chan!
Tei-chan, Youko-sensei...
Where did you go?
Tei-chan... Let's go.

Hey...
Where are you?
Huh?

Hey, that hurts!
What? What are you doing?
What? It's an illegal arrest.
What?
Illegal arrest. Something I shouldn't do.
Stop that!
- Yukiji! - Ow ow ow...
That hurts...
Ah...
Um...
I got too excited. Sorry.
I heard it might be a kidnapping case and came running...
And these two from the detective agency famous for working with the yakuza were here.
Well it's good we're famous.
There's a missing woman.
She was arrested last night on suspicion of smuggling narcotic drugs.
Do you know anything?
- Huh? - No, excuse me...
The kindergartener who disappeared is my daughter.
She's not your real daughter, right? Confirmed.
Anyway, the handcuffs...
Members of the Murayama Association have been sighted in the park.
You know about that?
As if!
Too bad, that quarter of a second said plenty.
They're suspects.
- Wait. Hey, hey, hey! - No...

- Wait... - Hey, wait!
Come on...
Get on!
Quickly!
Quickly, pick me up!
Alright.
Here I go.
Ready, go...
Tei-chan!
Can you get up?
Can you hang on?
Quickly...
How is it?
I can't do it!
- This is impossible. - Are you okay?
Tei-chan, come here.
Excuse me!
If possible, please don't be loud...
We're not in a position to be saying that, are we?
... no.
Excuse me!
Is there anyone there?
Huh?
What the hell? They haven't found them yet?
Wait, Aniki?
Hey, Aniki!
Oh yeah. You don't have a mum.
No.
I don't.
So it's this bad cause your dad made it.
Kamekichi-san!
It's okay.
It's the truth.
Oh, it wasn't an insult.
My mum's terrible at cooking too. It's so hard to eat it.
And it's hard to swap sides with others.
But it's filled with love.
Of course. I know.
Huh?
Wait...
Can you see emotions too, uncle?
Uncle?
Even if not, I can tell at least that much.
Yeah.
I get it.
Hey...
Why don't you have a mum?
- Like I said. - I don't know.
You could just ask your old man.
- Kamekichi-san, you see... - Papa...
I don't think...
My current papa knows...
... about my old mama and papa.
Complicated home life kid.
The same as me.
Huh?
Kamekichi, you have a mum right?
- No honorific... - Yeah.
Kamekichi...
... has a mum but not a dad.
It was when I was little, so I don't even remember his face.
Tei...
... hasn't had a dad since she was born.
I don't remember mama's face, either.
But...
I remember that I loved her.
Even though I don't remember her face, or talking to her,
I always remember that I love her.
That's why, to me...
"Love" and "Mama" are the same thing.
So when I think "Ah, omelets! I love them!"
I think maybe omelets are Mama.
Whenever I come to love something,
I think it's like Mama.
It doesn't make sense, does it?
Huh?
I understand.
I understand, Tei-chan.
Aniki, look. Blood is coming out.
Don't force yourself!
Alright? Let's leave it to the police.
See, you'll break something!
It's fine.
I don't feel pain, after all.
No but, Aniki...
It's cold, it's cold...
She's a such a slave driver, Masuko.
I'm older, you know.
What?
The key to the handcuffs.
Tei-chan, don't push yourself too hard, okay?
I'm fine.
See?
Leave me alone! I'm not a kid.
You are a kid.
Tei-chan, you're still a kid.
I'm an adult.
Adults aren't stubborn in a situation like this.
Okay?
Sensei doesn't want Tei-chan to force herself to become an adult.
Teachers are teachers so that we can help children stay children.
Rely on me a bit more.
But...
I don't want to bother Papa.
I know how you feel, but for now...
Papa can see anything,
but there's a lot that he can't do.
Tei wants to become an adult quickly and help Papa out.
Then...
Around Papa, you're the adult Tei-chan,
and around sensei, the child Tei-chan. How's that?
Okay?
But if this goes on, Papa will come save us.
Huh?
He'll use his eyes and look for us.
Tei knows.
That if he keeps doing that, one day he won't be able to see.
Okay? Okay?
Look, Aniki.
It's bad to use your eyes at random.
Let's narrow down the search range a little.
Okay?
Hey, Aniki...
What do we do?
Tei-chan's really cold.
Because it's this cold out.
Tei-chan?
Don't sleep.
Okay? Can you speak again?
I'll warm you up. Okay?
♪ We're good friends ♪
Tei-chan?
♪ We're good friends, bathing in ♪
Tei-chan, sing...
Don't sleep.
Aniki!
Like I said, don't use your eyes!
Hey! We're going back.
The police will be much more helpful than you right now.
- No, I'll look. - What?
- I said, wait! - Yukiji, eyedrops.
What?
- Yukiji, eyedrops! - Hey!
It's just a lost kid!
What did you say?
Of course you're worried. Even I'm really worried.
But humans don't die that easily.
But you know?
Your eyes can easily go blind now.
At the moment, you're just a fresh corpse!
Wait...
It was a bad metaphor.
Stop.
Listen.
Don't get angry.
You're just looking after Tei, right?
So one day you'll need to give her back.
- Then look after your own... - Yukiji!
If there are limits to these eyes...
Then all the more, I'm always thinking of what I should see with the time I have left.
I...
... want to see Tei and Yukiji.
And that sensei too, right?
That's right.
Every one of them...
... is necessary to me for a different reason.
Should you say that with such a scary face?
Aniki...
Did you see something?
I saw the plants' emotions waver.
I told you not to use your eyes!
They're all saying the moon is pretty.
I...
... don't know anything about the world you're seeing, Aniki.
I can't tell you to do this or do that.
Do what you want.
They're your eyes.
You can just see what you want to see when you want to.
Thanks.
That is...
That's...
An emotion I must know too.
Huh? Aniki?
I see.
This...
... is "nostalgic".
Hey, wait!
Wait, Aniki!

Higurashi-san...
Hey!
Hey, Tei!
Tei, are you alright? Tei!
Tei.
Like I thought,
Papa is cooler than Yukiji.
It's fine now.
I'll go get the police.
I'm sorry!
I made you use your eyes!
You don't have to apologise.
And, Papa's eyes...
... are here to see Tei's smile.
Okay?
Smile.
Okay...
But... Tei's strange right now.
Even though I'm happy you came,
for some reason tears are coming out...
It's okay.
Crying while smiling...
... isn't a strange thing.
See?
Papa's like that too.
Okay, she's coming...
Understood!
A bit more!
Up! Okay!
You can do it!
- Okay. - Take your time.
Slowly...
Keep going, just a bit more.
Okay!
Alright!
Okay!
Thank you.
It's fine.
I'm good at looking for things for work.
Alright, Tei.
Higurashi-san must have ended up using his eyes.
In that case,
I didn't have the confidence I was a person
someone would go that far for to find
in me at the time.
You can do it!
Come on up!
Yukiji-san!
Yukiji-san!!
What the hell? You're full of energy.
- Yukiji-san! - What?
Ouch!
- That hurts! It hurts, Yukiji-san. - Why didn't you save them?
What will you do about that detective?
Hmm...
- Overlook it? - Huh?
Okay.
Well...
I'm sure I'll have more chances to catch him.
A guy with eyes like that.
Eyes?
Eyes.

Aww... thanks!
Thank you!
It's okay. You're my lifesaver.
I didn't do anything, though.
Yeah, you didn't do anything,
but when it's someone's birthday, we can eat cake!
So that's how it is.
Here, Kamekichi.
Um... Where's Higurashi-san?
He went to pick up a guest.
- A guest? - Yeah.
And they're here.
- Welcome back! - I'm back.
This is today's guest.
It's my mum!
Huh?
Good grief, you...
What happened?
Actually, earlier...
She seemed lost, so I asked to help.
So you're a detective!
Yes.
At that time...
I accepted a request to look for her son who left for Tokyo and wouldn't come back.
She said she has a request.
But...
How did you know?
- I didn't say anything... - I heard that once.
I did, but...
Just from that?
I...
... can see.
See what?
All sorts of things.
Since he left after saying he'd become a man before his 25th birthday...
The shape of the emotions your mother had when talking about her son...
I've caused so much trouble...
... and the shape when Kamekichi-kun was talking about his mother...
I want to show her how fine her son's become!
They were the same?
Ah, no.
The shapes matched each other perfectly.
The shape of the side loving and the shape of the side being loved...
That's how it works.
What's with that embarrassing occult-ish story?
- You little! - Ow!
He was making an analogy!
- No, I can really see it... - You're always acting so stupid like that...
Are you going to be involved in such troubling things forever?
Sorry!
I'll get better.
Ow!
This idiot is like me...
- Are you fine with it that way?! - Then what should I do?
Once in a while...
Give me a call!
I get it.
I get it!
Don't cry!
You moron!
I'm not crying!
Mother.
I was deeply moved!
W-What?
You were listening?
Out of consideration for you...
I'll forgive Kamekichi-kun!
Um...
Who might you be?
I'm the president of Murayama Sons, Murayama...
Hey, even if we cut it into pieces, I don't think it'll fit.
Stop that, we're in front of mother!
Draw back!
Huh? Why? Why?
Draw back!
What? What?
Kame! Kame!
I don't know how, but you had a narrow escape from death.
Ah... Yes.
I want to eat the cake quickly!
Yeah, you're right. Okay, let's eat cake!
Kamekichi! You'll be under their care.
Straighten up!
But mum, nothing's been decided.
Out of my way!
Everyone. Please look after Kamekichi.
Please look after him.
You bow too!
You're such a troublemaker.
Are you Aikawa Nanase? [Singer with a song called "Troublemaker"]
I'm sorry. [Singer with a song called "Troublemaker"]
How many times are you going to say that?
Um... This is...
It was in the time capsule, a video of Youko-chan at 5 years old!
Wow, yay!
It had the confession of the century on it!
Huh?
You watched it?
I didn't.
But you just--
Okay, okay... Never mind, let's just watch it.
Youko!
Oh there she is.
- So cute! - How cute.
Huh?
Huh? That's all?
That's strange. There was more when I watched it.
So you did watch it.
No, no...
Back to work, everyone.
No, no...
What? That's boring!
I'm disappointed too!
Didn't someone erase it on purpose?
Huh?
Who did? What for?
I don't really know,
but see, a lot of things about that time are a mystery, right?
A mystery?
Youko-sensei, even though you were there at the time, you don't know?
Huh? What?
A kidnapping case. A kidnapping case.
- Hm? - In the first place,
because of the kidnapping,
we got a bad reputation, and had to relocate.
Apparently it was the talk of the town back then.
It was a case of kidnapping and confinement of a 5 year old, after all.
So what happened to that child?
It was a child's case, so I don't think it was reported on much afterwards...
Oh, but...
They must be written in the register.
Why...
... can't I remember?
[Mama, me, Papa Higurashi Tabito]
I can't let it be known yet.
Not until this plan has all ended.
