Yamada diary?
At the time there was a journalist called Yamada Kaisei...
He had a reputation for exposing every darkness.
And how is that related to Higurashi Eiichi?
Then, those 2 died at the same time.
This diary was handed to me by Yamada-san to give to your father.
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.
Bye, see you tomorrow!
- Bye~ Goodbye~ - See you tomorrow!
Hey, hey, hey!
What is it?
Which do you think will come today?
- Huh? - To pick up Tei-chan!
The idiot, the shorty or your true love?
Which one is my true love?
Oh my my my my my my my!
Higurashi-san, obviously!
That was too many 'my's
So how are things lately?
Have you been visiting their home?
With you by his side, Aniki ends up using his eyes.
- Can you keep some distance? - With you by his side...
Someday, there might be a time,
when he will open the door of his own will.
I have no clue what to do...
So you were dumped? Well, you are boring...
I was not dumped!
Wait, I'm boring?
Let me handle the boy stuff.
There's a great party on.
If it's a matchmaking party, no thanks.
Look here.
As a childcare worker...
Do you know what the one thing you need to teach the kids is?
Um...
Forming their sense of self and interpersonal--
Fool!
It's the joy of living, right?
So first of all, "Living is fun!"
You have to look like that.
And above all else...
You have to love!
Well you sure look like you're having fun being alive, senpai.
- Are you making fun of me? - No, no, no...
I respect you.
Alright.
I'll go to the matchmaking party!
Really? Yay!
- Yay, yay! - Don't get excited in the corridor.
- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.
If you don't pay attention, you'll lose your keyring again.
The keyring from my first love, Taa-kun.
If, like I thought...
Taa-kun is Higurashi-san...
Why is he keeping it secret?
I would soon realise...
... he doesn't say anything because he doesn't...
... want anything to be known.
[2 days later]
Start the battle!
Eh eh oh!
Eh eh oh~!
Be seated!
Wait... What is this?
Everyone here is serious. Don't make fun, okay?
I'm not planning on getting married yet.
You should put this on and appeal yourself too.
Oh?
Could you be...
... a Maeda Toshiie maniac?
Huh?
I am the organiser of this party,
Ieyasu of Akabane!
Many things happened with Lord Maeda Toshiie in his later years,
but I trust we will be friendly here?
Huh?
Good luck.
Commence!
Nice to meet you.
I'm Hikaru Rei.
That's a lovely name!
What's your favourite ingredient?
Cucumber.
My name is Uyoko.
I see...
Oh, really?
Second chance!
Couple formed! Applaud!
["Died in battle"]
Senpai! Senpai!
Tomoko-senpai!
What?
Be calm, please.
Something terrible happened with the guy you met at a matchmaking party before, didn't it?
Sorry, Yamakawa.
I trust my instincts.
They say "The enemy lies at Honnoji and love at instinct," right? [Referencing the Honnoji Incident; pun - 'honno' is instinct]
Akechi Mitsuhide never said that.
Setouchi Jakuchou said it.
You're drunk, aren't you?
What's wrong?
Nothing!
This is Hikaru Rei, he's 28.
- I'm Yamakawa Youko. - Okay, let's go!
Senpai!
Papa?
subs by mottofreaky subs by mottofreaky
Hasn't he been using his eyes too much lately?
It's true, a bunch of stuff happened.
But he seemed to be in good health, y'know?
Mental stress often shows itself as poor physical health.
You... take proper care of Tabito's heart.
I know.
There we go...
Yes, yes, yes...
I've been waiting.
Enoki Wataru, right?
Well, not bad, you are beautiful,
but I think I ordered a cute kind of girl today?
What?
Change!
What is it?
What, what, what?
What?
It's true, I regularly do medical examinations for Tabito.
I've known Yukiji since he was a little punk too.
Then did you know that Higurashi Tabito's father was a secretary to Yukiji Masahiko's father?
Have you heard anything of Higurashi Tabito's parents' cause of death or confinement,
from the person himself?
What are you trying to do, looking into the two of them?
By catching the culprits of the two cases,
I want to bargain the information on the yakuza they have out of them.
Good grief.
So detectives these days haven't hired a single information monger, huh?
Huh?
You don't have to do something so over the top.
If you're asking about yakuza dealings,
even I have plenty to talk about.
What are you asking in return?
It's nothing big.
Just don't pry any further into
what happened with Tabito and Yukiji.
Sensei, I'm here~
Open up~
Let's su~su~
Are you copying something?
Hurting trust in the school by personally being absent without permission...
Unbelievable!
As suspected, she isn't picking up. Ono-sensei.
What party did you say it was?
The "Marriage Hunt Battle! Sekigahara Party"
In short, it's about men right?
Being absent with a man as the excuse... Unacceptable!
No, I wasn't saying that was the reason...
In the past, even I was all about "men, men" no matter what,
so I understand how she feels.
But as someone to entrust children to, this is unacceptable!
She may be fired for this!
[303 - Ono]
Huh? Where's your beard?
I'm surprised you're contacting me so soon.
I, too, am surprised that the everyday Lord Ieyasu can be so plain.
So, what happened?
That's odd.
Hikaru Rei's phone number written on the register is out of use.
Out of use?
So, what I've just distributed,
is a list of dealers and rough areas of trade we know at the moment.
But the sources are just private physicians,
and the names of the dealers are all aliases, not their real names.
But it's important to note,
each dealer is doing so at the command of a man named Ritchie.
Who's this Ritchie, then?
Who knows?
But it's a name that definitely comes up when getting information.
Everything's unknown, isn't it?
But at times like this,
at least eat some sakuramochi from "Chomeiji Sakuramochi", okay?
When at a dead-end like this. Okay?
Which is why, I'm asking for all of your cooperation.
Incidentally, in the consultation cases, there was also a request to search for Hikaru Rei.
Huh? Is that true?
Yes.
It seems we got a request from a woman who knows Hikaru Rei.
But that woman is only an acquaintance,
and knows nothing other than his name.
This woman. [Yamakawa Youko]
Excuse me!
... it's nothing.
What the heck?
I'm sorry.
There's someone I want you to look for.
Is this about Tomoko-sensei?
What's with that?
Ono-sensei from the Squirrel class
wasn't actually on leave, she's missing.
I also requested a police search,
but they said if it's not for a case, they won't search for an adult.
Sometimes people want to skip work.
No! She may seem careless,
but she has a great sense of responsibility.
No matter how I see it, it's strange for her to be absent without permission.
I'm sorry...
I know about Higurashi-san's eyes.
And I know... it's troublesome for me to come here...
But...
Come here for a sec.
He spends most of the day sleeping.
So even if it wasn't your request,
in this situation we can only decline.
You know, right?
Once Aniki goes to sleep, he won't know if you're shaking him.
That's why we can only...
... watch over him, nervous...
... wondering if he'll ever wake up again.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Hey, why don't you help her Yukiji?
I'll watch Papa.
Tei?
Tei-chan...
It's not for your sake, sensei.
It's for Papa.
Huh?
Papa is too kind,
so if he wakes up and finds out about this,
he'll definitely try to look for her.
He might.
That's why, I think it's best for Papa's eyes too,
if you find Tomoko-sensei first.
And Yukiji, you're an outstanding detective yourself, right?
This is for Aniki's sake, okay?
Yup.
Alright, I got it.
Then let's resolve this in an instant.
Thank you.
Then you should help too.
And we'll do this so that Aniki definitely doesn't find out.
- Of course. - Alright!
So let's get fired up!
I've never seen her.
Really? Thanks anyway.
You could ask my friends.
Nah. Sorry, but we've asked most of your friends.
Then, do you know of a person named Hikaru Rei?
You do?
Oh...
I can't talk about this for money.
Huh? Then...
Lately... I've been frustrated...
Hey...
You get it right? Okay?
Alright.
It's for senpai.
Alright! Well said!
Me?
Mine are better?
I've lived on this street for 20 years.
A guy called Hikaru Rei...
Never heard of him.
You don't know him? Let go already!
- No, you're scary! - Ahh, my nipples! My nipples!
Don't move!
So you ARE dealers alongside Hikaru Rei.
What are you talking about?
Take them out. You're hiding the drugs in your chest, aren't you?
No, you're mistaken. This is...
Oh, I saw the investigation report.
Asking the police to look for a drug dealer, you're asking for too much.
Don't move your hands!
Ah, that hurts!
I was rubbing them...
I think you need to apologise.
Let go now.
That hurts, you idiot!
I've only met Hikaru Rei at that party.
I see.
How much do you know about Hikaru Rei?
At the very least, he's not on a family register.
That's all?
That and, a boss named Ritchie...
You don't have to say that.
Anyway, don't stick your neck in any further.
It only means trouble.
- But Tomoko-senpai... - If need be, contact here.
Yukiji-san?
Kamekichi? What's up?
Hikaru Rei's a host name.
Huh?
There was a new host with the same name at a host club called AUBE.
When I looked into it, I found out his real name is Kawamura Yusuke.
And right now...
Right now what?
That hurts, you jerk!
- Give it a rest. I said that hurts! - Kamekichi? What's wrong?
AUBE.
Yukiji-san...
Oi, oi, oi...
Hosts? You're just a group of small-time yakuza.
- What was that?! - Of course it is.
After all, this place...
... has a specific main job.
What's this?
I've seen you around.
That's it, right? The kid from the detective agency?
Yes...
The Toba group has looked after us on multiple occasions.
So why are those detectives sniffing around our group?
It's possible an acquaintance was taken away by one of your dealers...
She's a straight-laced person so can you give her back?
Huh?
As if the worldly Toba group would do some little retail sales.
Then, can you call Hikaru Rei here and set things straight?
I'm sorry!
You don't have to apologise.
Even if you apologise I won't forgive you.
It's your loss.
No, but really...
So where did you stock up on the goods?
From a senior who helped me when I was in the country.
The countryside? Which countryside, you asshole?
More importantly.
What happened to Tomoko-senpai?
'More importantly'?!
Who the hell are you?
You went home together that day, right?
We drank until the last train and then said bye.
Liar! You did her, didn't you, ya sleaze?
- I didn't! - Be honest, bastard!
It's true... It's the truth!
Ah!
Stop that.
Alright.
I'll believe you.
- Ow... - What should we do?
Kamekichi.
Go back to the office.
Huh?
That geezer Enoki should be there to look after Tei.
Have him tend to you while he's there.
Wait, are you giving up?
It's irritating, but there's someone who could help us out.
You mean...
Hikaru Rei. Real name, Kawamura Yusuke, 28 years old.
His record just has a few light traffic violations.
Okay, thanks.
So will we do this like the other day?
The other day?
Okay...
Okay!
Okay, come in.
Trespasser caught red-handed!
Kawamura-san, there's a trespasser.
We're coming in to check, okay?
Washing machine.
Toilet.
Fridge.
He's not here...
Hey, how long is that teacher's hair?
It goes to the shoulder.
Say, isn't the cool detective coming?
Nope.
If you call him, won't he be able to find clues in a flash?
It's not that easy for Aniki either!
He's costing his health doing it!
Why are you getting angry?
Okay, done.
50 thousand yen.
Huh? Just for that?
For the yakuza it's 50 thousand, flat rate.
But I'm not a yakuza. I don't have money.
I'll loan you.
Papa woke up.
Okay, don't you tell Tabito the reason you're injured.
Not even saying it. No feeling it in your heart.
Have a calm mind.
Oh, sensei.
Ahh, oh...
Oh, Tabito-kun.
What a coincidence seeing you here.
This is my house, though.
Oh yeah.
There's no evidence of drug trafficking, is there?
Maybe he was influenced by the hoodlum detective's information?
What's that, giant?
You wanna go?
Hey... huh? Hey...
Please calm down!
Let's think about their movements again.
We might be able to find some clue.
They went home together, right? I already searched the bed,
- there was only male hair. - No, no, no...
That day, senpai was looking for a marriage partner.
I don't think she wanted to go that far.
That's a type of reasoning that doesn't get through to men.
"Come to my place."
That's it.
Huh?
Drunk, senpai came to his room,
and realising what Kawamura-san wanted, she tried to go home.
But...
"Come to my room~"
... and was held back.
Oh... They fought outside the entrance.
Hey... this thing.
That's... Maeda Toshiie!
Like I thought, senpai did come to this room!
Come to think of it, where's Yukiji?
- Work. - Shopping.
He went to play pachinko.
Is that so?
Oh yeah, Tei.
I have to write a reply in the correspondence diary for school.
Oh, right.
Here, Papa.
Thanks.
That's odd.
Huh?
Usually Tomoko-sensei writes it.
Is she on leave?
Um, everyone.
My eyes have a special power, but...
Even without using it, there's a lot I can tell.
What are you trying to say?
If Tomoko-sensei is on leave,
why did the teacher of another class, Youko-sensei write in the diary?
I think because it's Youko-sensei,
she felt some responsibility about Tomoko-sensei's absence,
and did something beyond her duty.
And...
Suddenly linking that with Yukiji not being here,
might be over-thinking it, but...
When I see you three forgetting to breathe...
Maybe something happened.
Eh... Ah... Tabito, you see...
I could tell using my eyes, but lately I'm fatigued...
If possible...
I'd like to hear it from all of you first.
Fine.
- Tomoko-sensei went missing. - Kamekichi!
It looks like something happened with a Toba group dealer from the host club "AUBE".
A Toba group dealer?
Yukiji is working hard. You don't have to go, Papa!
The police are on it. And you...
No, this is my case.
I'm sorry for always worrying you.
Don't go.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Papa!
What? He ran away?
I wanted him to pay the debt so for the moment I just shut him off...
It just seems like he ran before the police came.
I told you, we don't do small deals!
Hikaru is a betrayer to us!
You don't do small deals, so I suppose you do large-scale trade?
No...
You just said it yourself, didn't you?
Sorry, I'm going to the toilet.
It's long for large-scale, you know? You'll be over 70 when you get out, you know?
Long time no see, Yukiji-chan.
Hello, Ritchie-san.
You been well?
Um...
You're getting a host to sell meds in secret from the group, aren't you?
The police are checking it out, you know?
Oh. Thanks for telling me.
Oi.
So, why've you brought the cops here?
I'm sorry.
There are some circumstances...
I don't care about your circumstances.
A friend was... Hikaru...
Uh...
Kawamura Yusuke kidnapped her.
We went to his house but he wasn't there.
You don't know, do you?
She's just a childcare worker, so if possible...
I don't know.
And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you.
Um...
There's something you left with me, isn't there?
That's probably...
... a secret from the Toba group, right?
Huh?
Oh, what's that? A threat?
It's not, it's not.
It's just that...
It's been a while since I've had it.
She'll be in primary school in spring.
So, just a little of a...
Reward, or something?
What was that girl's name again?
It's Tei. Tei!
Please don't forget.
Thanks.
She's an important product, so...
Keep looking after her.
So... about Kawamura...
Wait...
What happened?
Ah... Your nose is bleeding.
It's nothing.
Higurashi-san is here.
Huh?
Excuse us.
Let's go.
Wait, Aniki.
Aniki, Aniki.
Wait, wait...
I heard what's happened.
Let's go to Kawamura's apartment again.
Wait! Everyone's here, so even without the help of your eyes...
What are you saying? It'll be faster if we use his eyes.
Don't say that so easily!
Hold on, Aniki!
Wait, wait...
We should hurry. Doi.
You could just do it yourself.
- Ah, ow! - W-Wait...
Please stop!
- Higurashi-san! - I'm going to Kawamura's apartment.
What about you, Yukiji?
Huh?
I'm going.
Let's hurry.
Thank you.
Don't push yourself, okay?
Did you find something?
Um, well...
Sorry if I'm wrong.
I can see happiness over there.
You mean you can't see anything more relevant to the case?
No, I think it is relevant.
I'm seeing an abnormal amount of patterns of happiness.
Kawamura Yusuke is a dealer, right?
- Maybe... - What is it?
An abnormal sense of elation or invincibility from using drugs?
So he used his own goods and became happy.
The happy patterns continue outside.
Is he okay? Higurashi-san.
I'm worried, but we can't stop him now.
Just saying, but Aniki isn't kind enough to help just anyone.
Yes...
Which is why...
I'm not happy about Aniki's kindness towards you, but I respect it.
That's not it...
I thought.
I had faintly noticed that the reason Higurashi-san
helped me like this, wasn't out of love for me.
But still,
I didn't know what other reasons there could be.
The patterns are getting stronger than before.
So he's using them in here?
Is it finally time to show off public power?
Room 801 on the very end was suspicious,
- It was strange they kept extending their stay. - Aniki, that's enough now.
We'll search now. You should rest.
Oi, wait...
He looks fine, just leave it to him.
No, but... Aniki...
It's here.
Like I thought...
Please take care of it.
Ah... I'll open it.
But even if they're having fun in there, I don't know.
Excuse me~
Huh?
Hey, move!
Move!
Huh?
Why are there three?
Senpai! Senpai...
- Senpai! Senpai! - Can you hear me?
- Aunty, blankets! - Right away~
Hikaru Rei, right?
You're Kawamura Yusuke, right?
What's with this smell?
What's wrong?
Aniki!
Huh? That monster just now...
Crap, I look so uncool right now.
What is this, what's happening?
Those... aren't normal drugs.
Drugs?
Hide, hide.
- Doi, aim! - Yes.
Toss the gun!
I'm scared, this is dangerous!
No more... No way...
Wai-- Hey!
Don't shoot...
Don't shoot that either!
Alright? Just wait.
Stop! It's scary...
I'm scared... Wait...
Higurashi-san?
Excuse me!
What are you doing at this time? Stop!
- Wait... - What are you doing?
This is it.
I'll throw it. Shoot it please.
Why?
I was right.
Now!
Man... that was close!
It really was!
What exactly did you see then?
It was only slightly, but I saw an allergic reaction on his arm.
Judging by the reaction, I thought maybe
Kawamura-san has a severe metal allergy.
And then Doi-san had just the right thing.
The iron powder in the hand warmers.
I thought that way you could subdue him.
Put down the stopper.
I'm fine, really.
Just go home.
But...
Sorry, Yamakawa...
Leave me alone for now.
We're moving her, please move back.
It'll sway from the height difference, okay?
Is it okay not to accompany her?
But...
I think I'm bothering her.
Even so...
I think what Tomoko-sensei needs now...
... is kindness that's a little bit annoying.
Right.
Um...
Let me thank you again.
Excuse me, I'm getting on.
I'm closing it.
Okay, okay...
Yes, yes... Good work.
Okay, Doi-kun. Fill me in.
Hey...
Hey... Aniki.
Aniki!
Hey, Aniki!
Hey! Aniki...
Oi, Aniki...
Alright, got it.
So Kawamura-chan was caught safely.
Why chrysanthemum?
I said I really am reflecting on it.
It'd be more weird if you didn't.
But really, that guy was seriously the lowest!
A-At the start...
It was given to me as a product...
Before long...
I started using it myself...
And then...
Then...
I couldn't...
... pay Ritchie-san anymore.
That... That...
Um...
My senior at the host club...
... suggested that we...
... sell these drug-dependent women and get rich.
From there... Then...
Then he told us to be prostitutes...
But he was more drowsy from the meds than us.
In any case... I'm glad you're safe.
I have to apologise to Higurashi-san and the others too...
Senpai...
Come back soon, okay?
And to do that, right?
That thing you need as a childcare worker.
Living is fun!
... please make that face.
Silly.
Don't say that so simply.
Excuse me, Ono-san.
Ieyasu-san! Why...
I heard that you were in hospital.
Ah! I brought the three specialties of Tokugawa as a gift.
Do you mind?
Tokugawa Yukari Mito natto...
Tokugawa Yukari Kishuu mandarins...
And Tokugawa Yukari Hacchou miso.
- And the staple of Ieyasu... - Yamakawa.
Do you know how much he makes a year?
I can only see some physical fatigue.
It's less worrying than I thought.
Then... like we thought, the source is mental...
Any ideas?
Beats me.
Hey... Check me too.
Normal temperature.
Oh... Donald Trump.
Do it properly!
I saw it.
Saw what?
I don't know what, but I saw something.
Thinking about it later, uh...
I thought that might be the world Aniki usually sees.
Why would you suddenly start seeing the same as Tabito?
I don't know that, that's why...
I'm really sorry.
None of it was your fault.
No... It was something I requested.
You shouldn't come here anymore.
Tei... You told me to help her...
I realised... Other teachers don't come here.
Why do you come here?
I wanted to help out Higurashi-san and Tei.
I thought I might be able to help with something.
Did Papa say he wanted you to?
Now, now... I asked her before.
- To stay with... - So what did Papa say?
It's because I don't think he would say anything.
Even though he sees so many of our feelings...
Higurashi-san won't show us anything.
Anyway...
When you didn't come here...
Things went better for us.
I'm sorry.
It's alright. I won't come here anymore.
But you don't have to go that far...
Everyone else too...
I'm sorry.
You see...
Sensei is actually important to Tei too.
But...
I can't treasure so many people at the same time.
Is that...
... because I'm a child?
Tei.
Adults are the same, too.
Eyes.
Those eyes...
I haven't forgotten them...
Even for a moment.
