RULES OF PRETTY BOY DETECTIVE CLUB
1, BE PRETTY
2, BE A BOY
3, BE A DETECTIVE
"Heaven does not create
one person above another person."

by Yukichi Fukuzawa"
"THE ITEM DROPPED IN FRONT
OF YOUR EYES"
Hey, wait!
Excuse me!
Oh my, is something the matter?
You dropped this.
Oh no, how could I?
That was quite careless for me to do.
Thank you. You saved me, my boy.
Hold on! Wait!
Huh?
"ART ROOM, AFTER SCHOOL"
Is something the matter, Dojima?
Huh? What is it?
You got a request for detective work?
It's about that bulge
in your breast pocket, isn't it?
FUKUROI MITCHIRU
ASHIKAGA HYOUTA
SAKIGUCHI NAGAHIRO
"COUNCILMAN, GODFATHER, BARE-LEGS,"
"PRESIDENT, AND GENIUS"
This is quite intriguing!
A man who disappeared into thin air.
It's truly mysterious!
What's the matter, Sosaku?
You look like you want
to say something.
What is it?
Perhaps this is the first time seeing
a paltry little 10 thousand yen bill,
and he finds it unusual?
I see.
- What's going on, Leader?
- MAYUMI DOJIMA
- SOTOIN MANABU
- Sousaku says...
that this is a counterfeit bill.
"CREATION OUT OF HOBBY"
This is counterfeit?
It has the proper watermarks.
I can't help but think this is real.
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0
That's not how things are,
Mayumi Dojima.
Sosaku is saying the quality is too good.
In other words, they're not getting their
bang for the buck as a counterfeit?
Such that it's costing more than 10,000
yen to create a 10,000 yen bill?
That's what this means. Glad you
understood, you have my compliments.
Spending more than 10 thousand yen
to make a 10 thousand yen bill...
What meaning lies
in doing such a thing?
A good question.
Of course, you're able to make a bill that
looks even more real than the real thing.
Looks even more real...
than the real thing...
So in other words,
it's simply a toy created out of a hobby.
Ridiculous.
Whether it be
a counterfeit or a real bill,
it's not something an honest businessman
should be carrying around in his pocket.
It's not like he shouldn't be doing it,
more like it makes me more cautious
that he's a dangerous man
carrying a wad
of counterfeit bills
instead of a million yen.
Beautiful!
A counterfeit bill with a budget
surpassing that of the denomination...
That is truly beautiful.
It has a brilliance that
is simply indescribable.
I can't quite restrain my curiosity!
"BEAUTY SENSOR"
In the first place, Dojima,
Couldn't you tell with your eyes
that this was a forged bill?
Come to think of it,
this is unlike you, Mayumi the Seer.
Please don't tag me
with nicknames without asking me.
What's this "Mayumi the Seer"?
I was wearing my glasses at the time,
so it couldn't be helped.
Glasses?
Oh, that's right.
You use those glasses to control
your eyesight, which is your beauty.
Mayumi Dojima.
Let's see here.
Stare.
Huh?
"BILL ENVELOPE"
Stare, stare...
Hey, it looks like
there's something inside this bill.
Inside the bill?
What the hell are you talking about?
- Michiru.
- SOSAKU YUBIWA
Sosaku is saying, "Leave this to me."
Let's see.
Oh? My, oh my.
Boys, this looks like an invitation.
- "INVITATION"
- An invitation?
"Congratulations."
"You have obtained an entry ticket
to our casino, Reasonable Doubt."
"PLANS FOR SUNDAY"
This sounds like a fraud!
They hold it every Sunday, huh?
Very well.
On Sunday night,
we will all gather together and head over
to the venue shown right here.
Let's see, how do you read these kanji?
This says "Kamikazari Middle School,
Gymnasium Number 2," President.
Well, even if counterfeit,
we should go there and return
the 100,000 yen to Mr. Businessman.
It does say here,
"Please come in plain clothes."
What kind of clothes are plain clothes?
I only have shorts
in my personal clothing collection.
- "PLAIN CLOTHES"
- It means dressing up in moderation.
- NEITHER CASUAL NOR FORMAL
- Now I see, moderation, huh?
That was a nodding
that got me moderately worried.
"PLAIN CLOTHES IN MODERATION"
Oh, Mayumi Dojima,
you're getting all finished up.
Thanks to you,
Sosaku looks satisfied!
What a beautiful exchange
between two team members!
Okay boys, let us depart!
Time for the Pretty Boy
Detective Club to go to work!
Just like we always do.
Tonight, once again, we'll...
beautifully,
like a boy,
be detectives!
- Sure.
- Yes, you're right.
Each time I see
the perfectly coordinated teamwork,
I feel like there's no room for me
to squeeze myself in,
and can't help but feel
a sense of inferiority.
But thanks to an artist, my current self
is a pretty boy, if only on the outside.
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0
I am Mayumi the Seer.
And I'll be a part of this team.
"TERRITORY CASINO HALL
'REASONABLE DOUBT'"
It looked like paradise.
Everyone is dressed up, but no matter
how you look at them, they were teenagers.
Boys and girls who looked
to be middle-school age.
Welcome, everyone.
Pardon me, but do you
have your invitation?
Oh, yes. Right here.
Yes, wonderful.
Thank you very much.
The chip exchange is to the right of
the stage, so please head there.
And the cashier is on your left.
Cashier?
There's no way a casino
can be child's play.
Real money is moving here
and not counterfeit bills.
Now, please enjoy the Reasonable Doubt
Casino to your heart's content.
Enjoy!
"OPEN THE GAME"
No use just watching.
Right. Let's just play something.
Make sure to gather
some information as well, Hyota.
Please don't lose sight
of our initial objective.
Now, how to bet.
This is where you show your aestheticism!
Oh no, Mayumi Dojima,
you'll just be watching.
No matter what game you play, your vision
would make it cheating, Mayumi the Seer.
As you can see what's on
the other side of the cards,
it'll be a problem for you
to bet on money to play in a casino.
You could say that I don't know the rules
for most of the games in this casino.
Oh?
Of all things, he chose blackjack.
I can't quite speak for him,
but does Sotoin know how to play?
Now I know poker at least a little bit.
Well, this might be the easiest game
to understand in a casino.
Baccarat?
Um, what kind of a game was it?
Slot machine, huh?
He really seems to fundamentally
like playing by himself.
Well, how do I say it? As long as
I'm watching like this, it's wholesome.
I don't feel anything corrupt
like taking every last bit
of allowances from children.
But it's still illegal, okay?
Pardon me, but is everything all right?
"MR. BUSINESSMAN, OR RATHER"
It seems you aren't having that much fun.
Is something the matter?
My dear customer.
Oh, I simply
don't know the rules too well,
and I just tagged along with friends...
I see. Friends, hm?
Then I would like to entertain you.
How about we relive childhood innocence...
and play some Othello?
Um, are you...
Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
My name is Fudatsuki,
and I am the manager of this casino.
At the same time,
I am the student council president
here at Kamikazari Middle School.
Student council president?
Then he's no businessman.
He's a middle school student!
- "THE COUNCIL,PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT"
- So, you must be a 3rd year student
No, I'm a sophomore
The change of power
occurs quickly at our school.
Unlike Yubiwa Academy.
He knows that I'm a student
at Yubiwa Academy.
Well, the last time I saw him,
I was wearing my school uniform,
so it's only natural
that he would know.
If that's the case,
we need to act very carefully.
As a member of
the Pretty Boy Detective Club!
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0
As a member of
the Pretty Boy Detective Club!
White or black,
please choose your favorite.
It seems you have
something on your mind?
I was just worried if
it was going to be okay.
Playing such extravagant games
on school grounds.
So that was your concern?
Please rest assured,
there is nothing to worry about.
Why is it that I have
nothing to worry about?
May I ask how
you came across this casino?
We found an invitation
inside a counterfeit bill.
Do you have other methods as well?
Yes. In terms of sending out invitations,
we try all sorts of elaborate methods.
By hook or by crook,
we strive for entertainment.
A person with such
a playful mind to discover
our invitations will
never indict this casino.
Therefore, confidentiality is assured.
The phrase "playful mind"
had an undefinable persuasion.
A counterfeit bill is having a
"playful mind."
That means this casino might also be
the product of someone's "playful mind."
Has this been profitable?
Oh my, are you worried
for our well-being?
Thank you so much.
We have definitely been making a profit.
This is not the only enterprise
that I am dabbling in.
It's just for fun. Entertainment. I guess
you could say it's an investment, too.
Manager, a problem has arisen.
"ARISEN PROBLEM"
The student council president...
Is the student council president of Yubiwa
Academy Middle School one of your friends?
Of course he'd figure it out.
Whether or not we're friends aside...
Um, well, he's my colleague.
It seems you're worried
about what I'll do with him.
He will be receiving some
special service.
"EMPTY STAGE"
We have to hand it to the Pretty Boy
Detective Club vice-president.
He's quite attractive on the stage.
Don't you think so, Mayumi Dojima?
A "special program."
Apparently, patrons who win more
than a certain amount of money
go up on stage and get a chance
to play against the casino manager.
That competition is
a main event for the casino,
such that they make
a show of it on the stage.
Of course, that's also
subject to gambling.
The manager has never lost
on this special program.
The rule is that the opponent must place
all chips he has gained on the table.
If the opponent were victorious,
what they can gain isn't triple,
or ten times the number of chips they bet.
It's everything.
The winner will be given the rights from
the manager to operate this casino.
Absolute confidence.
Or should I say absolute "playful mind"?
Oh, there's nothing to worry.
Rest assured, Mayumi Dojima!
He decided to go up on stage on his
own accord. He knows what's going on.
"SPECIAL PROGRAM"
Ladies and gentlemen!
We will now hold our Special Program
that we haven't had in a while!
Let's Open The Game!
Hey, do all of you know about that guy?
I knew his name, if nothing else.
The student council president
of Kamikazari Middle School.
Unlike ours, I heard
he's quite a shrewd guy.
It's surprising to find out he was doing
something like this behind the scenes.
Did something happen?
Looks like Nagahiro
outmaneuvered him out of the blue.
He set up something that unexpected?
Who knows? Perhaps I'm being oblivious
because I don't know the rules of poker.
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0
Who knows? Perhaps I'm being oblivious
because I don't know the rules of poker.
You don't know, either?
Unfortunately, I am not learned.
What I have is just aestheticism.
And the next game, round two,
seemed to favor Sakiguchi as well.
Apparently Fudatsuki won round three.
The game count is 2-1,
but the number of chips has returned
to basically where they started.
The game continued in a similar manner.
And then that incident happened.
"STAGEHAND"
I'm the only one who noticed. Only I saw.
I'm the only one who can see that?
This is cheating!
