Bishounen Tanteidan (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - The Pretty Boy in the Attic: Part 1 - full transcript
"Rules of The Pretty Boys
Detective Club"
"1, Be pretty"
"2, Be a boy"
"3, Be a detective"
"Called to Action"
"Miss Doujima, we have received a summon
for the Pretty Boys Detective Club"
"Please head straight to
the art room later today no matter what."
- "Doujima Mayumi"
- Trying to go home so easily, Doujima?
- "Fukuroi Mitchiru"
- Are you planning to ignore the orders
Ms. Mayumi the seer?
Damn, I thought something like this
would happen.
Come on, let's hurry over
to the art room now.
Not so fast!
Hey!
You! Compared to someone so gloomy
you're quite active, you know!
Let being gloomy aside...
I am...
...free!
- "Ashikaga Hyouta"
- Bad girl, Doujima!
No matter how good your eyes are,
I'm faster than the speed of light
you can't escape me!
Well, if it's something so urgent,
I'm totally fine with everyone
starting without me.
Don't speak as if you're not one of us!
Are you one of those who say
"Lately, everyone's on their phones..."
and not one person is reading
a book on the train anymore."?
At the very least, if you're reading
something, then there's at least one.
You really lack the awareness
about having comrades of your own
Comrades!
That was something I wanted
way more than any communication device
"The Ceiling's Painting"
- "Yubiwa Sousaku"
- Oh! You were late now, weren't you?
Michiru, Hyouta, and Mayumi Doujima.
I'm glad you made it!
I see.
So we finally got around to the
ceiling renovation we've been planning.
But, president?
Can I assume the emergency summons
today was for this?
- "Sotoin Manabu"
- That's exactly it
- "Sakiguchi Nagahiro"
- Our true mission in this club
is the long-awaited completion
of this Art Room!
The time has come!
"Attic Adventure"
Oh no, you broke it! You broke it!
Sosaku destroyed the art room!
I see. That was beautiful timing.
Let's take a break for now.
That hole! I was thinking
it looked just like a secret passage.
Secret passage?
If there's anything above the ceiling,
it has to be treasure.
Doujima, what do you think?
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0
Doujima, what do you think?
Well, I don't know.
Maybe there's a corpse rolling around?
Don't say such scary things.
Well, in times like this, seeing
is a hundred times better than words
It's pitch dark and I can't see anything.
That's a problem. It's all over for us.
Unfortunately,
we don't have any flashlights ready.
It'd be nice if we had someone
with a small body size,
and can guarantee vision even in the dark.
You go.
"The Mystery in The Paintings"
Hey, Doujima. Don't you think
these paintings look familiar?
Familiar?
I see. More like deja vu than familiarity.
To be more precise it seems to me
that something is missing instead of odd
Deja vu? Lacking?
Indeed, I feel like these paintings
are missing something.
"The Artist's Eccentricity"
What's wrong, Yubiwa?
Now hold on a second, Mayumi Doujima.
It looks like Sosaku has an idea.
This is Millet's, The Cleaners!
That's The Gleaners, to be correct.
That painting is the scenery from
Fragonard's The Swing, but with no people.
Scenery from Millais' Ophelia,
with no people.
Scenery from Manet's
The Luncheon on the Grass, with no people.
What was lacking
were the figures of humans.
Do they have practices like this
in the world of fine art?
I've never heard of such practice methods.
It's like the people trapped
in a closed room, called a canvas,
all made an escape performance!
I wonder about that.
It's true this is a closed room...
but because they've disappeared
from where they should be,
instead of calling it
an escape performance...
Yes...
What was the artist's reason
for drawing art like this?
And what was their intention
for hiding it in the attic?
Fortunately for us,
there's no end to the mysteries!
But Sotoin, wouldn't those things
be impossible to figure out?
I see. Then let's confront it
as a different mystery.
A different mystery?
Why wasn't that piece painted?
That mystery is something
we cannot possibly ignore
as the Pretty Boy Detective Club.
The most famous painting in the world that
even my unlearned self is familiar with...
Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci.
"The Unpaintable Painting"
Perhaps, with that fact as a clue,
we may be able to determine the artist.
If we analyze, "What was the criteria,
and what kind of art was being chosen,"
then it's highly likely that we'll arrive
at a hint for the truth about the artist.
I see. Looks like it's time to wrap up.
Okay, that'll be all
for today's activities.
I'll leave the rest to
take home as homework.
Huh? We can go home already?
"THE WAY HOME"
I'm truly grateful for Mr. Delinquent
and Mr. Bare-Legs
to walk me all the way back home.
Well, I don't think anything will happen,
but there's that incident from last time.
You can never be too careful.
Kamikazari Middle School
should be in a disarray right now
so I don't think they have the strength
to meddle with our school.
That might only sound like consolation,
but no matter how you brace yourself
when you get abducted,
you'll get abducted.
That might be why Nagahiro provided you
with a cellphone for times like that.
But still, an abduction?
Hey, you two.
When our leader talked about
those 33 pieces, he said...
"It's like people trapped in the canvas'
closed room made an escape performance."
But don't you think
that was more like an abduction?
Yeah, you might have a point.
Instead of people being trapped
within the paintings have escaped
it makes more sense if you say the people
protected in the paintings were kidnapped.
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0
it makes more sense if you say the people
protected in the paintings were kidnapped.
Aren't those like the same thing?
I don't care what you come up with, but
make sure you think about it overnight.
It's our homework from our leader.
Seriously speaking, you can't keep feeling
like you're a guest forever, Doujima.
I'll say it again,
but I need you to become self-aware
that you're a club member now.
Hypothesis.
If I'm going to say it like the
detective club, I'd call it a theory.
The theories that I submit
must be beautiful.
Be pretty. Be a boy. Be a detective, huh?
Hello? It's me.
I'm sure you might've forgotten
but it's Rai Fudatsuki.
"Competing Theories"
Well then, how about we present the
theories that everyone came up with?
Okay, I'll be going up first!
"MANABU'S THEORY"
The 33 paintings here are
historically famous paintings
redrawn with all the people removed.
That was the opinion as of yesterday,
but I thought of something else.
Perhaps it's actually the opposite.
The 33 paintings that have been found
are actually the paintings that were
drawn first, and the famous paintings
displayed in museums all over the world
are actually pieces drawn
based on all of these paintings!
No, that can't be possible.
Nothing less from our leader,
what a wonderful theory.
A super trick that turns
everything over,
and reminiscent of an
authentic mystery novel.
Of course it is, of course it is.
It's regretful that even in this theory,
I cannot explain why the
background for Mona Lisa
is not included in the 33 paintings.
But it'll make sense if you think
that Leonardo Da Vinci was a student
of this academy at some point in the past.
No it doesn't. It's disappointing.
Well, let's talk about a conclusion
when everyone is done saying their theory
Can I go next?
"Michiru'S Theory
(Mr. Delinquenet's Theory)"
Sorry to say, but my theory is pretty
normal, unlike our president's.
The idea that these were replicas of
historical masterpiece drawn as practice
came out yesterday,
and it was refuted, yeah?
There's no way anyone would do
an exercise that makes no sense.
Well, I think so, too.
However, what if it wasn't a replica,
and it wasn't for practice?
It's closer to a parody or a cover song,
but something that was created
based on the paintings as the roots,
and finished up as something
completely separate from their original.
I see. That is truly
an interesting idea, Michiru.
However, if it's a parody or a cover song,
It would be strange for a great painting
like the Mona Lisa not to be there
Okay, I'm up next.
"Hyouta's Theory
(MR. Bare-legs' Theory)"
I interpreted what I saw for what it was.
If I was the artist, for what purpose
would I draw paintings like this?
What reasons would I need
to do a rash act...
...like removing a nude lady...
...from a painting of a nude lady?
That viewpoint became my standing point.
Maybe the artist just didn't like
drawing people.
If portraits were not their forte, and you
think that in replicating masterpieces,
they painted them in a way
that was easy to draw,
then I thought I could give an
explanation to those 33 paintings.
If so, then there's one explanation as to
why a painting based on the Mona Lisa
is not among the Paintings
However, there is a drawback.
- "Beautiful"
- It's not beautiful as a theory.
Next up, let's hear your theory, Doujima.
"Mayumi Doujima's Theory?"
Ashikaga theorized that the artist
was bad at drawing people
so, they didn't draw them at all
But I thought maybe even before that, the
artist just couldn't see people at all.
Can't see people at all? What's that mean?
I'm a good example of this, but vision
is different for everyone, right?
The scenery I see with my glasses off
and the scenery that Mr. Delinquent sees
are completely different.
Oh?
How did he put it?
Ashikaga just said he "interpreted
what I saw for what it was,"
but the way things are seen
is different from one person to the other
That's how you can come to say
that fine art is established.
I'd go so far as to say that appreciation
of historical masterpieces
can come from seeing the world
through the eyes of a genius.
Damn, I said something a bit complex
it made their brains freeze.
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0
Damn, I said something a bit complex
it made their brains freeze.
In any case, the artist meant it
as drawing practice
and thought they made
an exact replica of the masterpieces
but what was created ultimately became
something completely different.
That's my theory.
Basically, the artist had
vision similar to yours,
and when looking at the motifs, they
accidentally saw through all the people?
I don't know about that, though.
First off, I can't think there'd be
that many wielders of eyes like you.
What was actually seen
weren't the people,
but the paint that was placed
on the canvas, right?
Even if you could see through the paint
wouldn't you be seeing
a blank canvas at that point?
And how are you going to explain the
reason why the Mona Lisa wasn't included?
For the Mona Lisa, perhaps they
saw through not just the portrait
but the background as well.
I see. That sounds more like the
sophistry of a criminal than a theory.
Well, you did quite a fine job
for your very first theory, Mayumi Doujima
Even if it is mere sophistry,
it was an eloquent, beautiful sophistry!
Well, it's Sosaku's turn next!
"The Child Genius's Theory"
Huh? Yubiwa is going to participate, too?
These aren't all the paintings.
There are at least 33 more.
What does that mean?
I see! So that's what you mean!
My, oh my, you didn't understand,
Mayumi Doujima?
Sosaku said "these aren't
all the paintings" and,
"there are at least 33 more."
Yes, that's right. And then?
And then? That's all there is.
Is that it?
Then Sosaku, up to
how many more are there?
Sosaku says, "I don't even have
the slightest idea on the limit."
There could be a 100, or even a thousand.
I feel like I'm just being told
the conclusion.
Do you have a basis for this?
No. This is a theory
based on a hunch as Sosaku the Artiste.
So that's all he can say for now.
Yes, all right.
Looks like it's my turn.
Where should I begin my story?
Let's see, I'll start with the conclusion.
I have succeeded in identifying the artist
of these canvases found in the attic.
The artist's name is Kowako Towai.
She had worked earlier in our school
- "Towai Kowako"
- as an art teacher
An art teacher.
Hey, you said "had worked"
but just how long ago was that?
Seven years ago.
But Sakiguchi...
leaving aside the fact that
with a little research,
you can figure out
such a teacher worked here
but how did you figure out
that said teacher is the artist?
That's the result of a casual
research with the teachers who I usually
work with in the student council.
I wonder what this is about?
That sounds very vague for an answer
coming from Nagahiro the Orator.
But I feel like the unique name
Kowako Towai sounded familiar, too.
You know how there's that giant painting
in the auditorium, right?
Wasn't Kowako Towai
the artist who painted that?
Now, I suggest we go
to where the painting is
- and continue our discussion
- "The Auditorium in The Auditorium"
It was kind of a strange painting.
The Auditorium in the Auditorium.
The auditorium in the auditorium
in the auditorium in the...
auditorium in the auditorium
in the auditorium in the auditorium...
- "A 7 Year Old Crime Proclamation"
- Ladies and Gentlemen
- "Auditorium in Auditorium, Towai Kowako"
- Kowako Towai.
Despite her resignation seven years ago,
her story is still being told
in academic offices till now
because she was a "legendary teacher."
- "Auditorium in Auditorium, Towai Kowako"
- but I didn't mean that in a positive way
Eccentric. More like a weirdo, so to say?
To give an example of
her eccentric behavior...
when she held a sketching competition
without authorization from the academy
and took a full class overseas on her own
Or when she remodeled a school building,
and created a locked room with no purpose.
Or turning a straight hallway
into a twisting labyrinth.
Even then, it seems she was
still a teacher who was
evaluated highly as an artist.
She came to work at Yubiwa Academy
after an invitation based on
high praise for her achievements.
Her first task upon working here
was the creation of this giant painting.
Just by seeing this piece,
you can feel how extraordinary
Ms. Towai was.
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0
And that was seven years ago.
Right when artistic classes...
When the fine art classes were being
canceled, there was a commotion.
You could call it a sign of the times.
For now, we'll leave aside the evaluation
concerning the removal.
That was the direction the academy
was heading, and it was already decided.
However, Ms. Towai
vehemently opposed the decision.
Sure, you could say
that if they're being selfish
then this is a tale of selfishness.
They invited her over as a teacher,
yet the circumstances of the academy
made them about to fire her.
- Normally, one would get mad
- "Auditorium in Auditorium, Towai Kowako"
However, Ms. Towai
was not an ordinary person
so she didn't resist with
such ordinary reasons
but resolutely asserted
that children needed fine art.
Ms. Towai didn't fall back even one step
and continued the resistance
movement all by herself.
and in the end,
she said something threatening.
Something threatening,
or rather, literally a threat.
"Children should not be in a school
that doesn't teach fine art."
"So if you're going to go through
with this so-called decision,"
"I will abduct
every single student in this academy."
That's apparently what she said.
No, that was the crime proclamation
that she made herself
Abduct every single one?
A crime proclamation impossible
to carry out. It's not even a threat.
Regarding that,
she carried out her proclamation.
Ms. Towai...
- "THE KIDNAPPING WAS EXECUTED"
- and abducted all students of the academy

- Trying to go home so easily, Doujima?
- "Fukuroi Mitchiru"

Well, it's Sosaku's turn next!
"The Child Genius's Theory"
Huh? Yubiwa is going to participate, too?
These aren't all the paintings.
There are at least 33 more.
What does that mean?
I see! So that's what you mean!
My, oh my, you didn't understand,
Mayumi Doujima?
Sosaku said "these aren't
all the paintings" and,
"there are at least 33 more."
Yes, that's right. And then?
And then? That's all there is.
Is that it?
Then Sosaku, up to
how many more are there?
Sosaku says, "I don't even have
the slightest idea on the limit."
There could be a 100, or even a thousand.
I feel like I'm just being told
the conclusion.
Do you have a basis for this?
No. This is a theory
based on a hunch as Sosaku the Artiste.
So that's all he can say for now.
Yes, all right.
Looks like it's my turn.
Where should I begin my story?
Let's see, I'll start with the conclusion.
I have succeeded in identifying the artist
of these canvases found in the attic.
The artist's name is Kowako Towai.
She had worked earlier in our school
- "Towai Kowako"
- as an art teacher
An art teacher.
Hey, you said "had worked"
but just how long ago was that?
Seven years ago.
But Sakiguchi...
leaving aside the fact that
with a little research,
you can figure out
such a teacher worked here
but how did you figure out
that said teacher is the artist?
That's the result of a casual
research with the teachers who I usually
work with in the student council.
I wonder what this is about?
That sounds very vague for an answer
coming from Nagahiro the Orator.
But I feel like the unique name
Kowako Towai sounded familiar, too.
You know how there's that giant painting
in the auditorium, right?
Wasn't Kowako Towai
the artist who painted that?
Now, I suggest we go
to where the painting is
- and continue our discussion
- "The Auditorium in The Auditorium"
It was kind of a strange painting.
The Auditorium in the Auditorium.
The auditorium in the auditorium
in the auditorium in the...
auditorium in the auditorium
in the auditorium in the auditorium...
- "A 7 Year Old Crime Proclamation"
- Ladies and Gentlemen
- "Auditorium in Auditorium, Towai Kowako"
- Kowako Towai.
Despite her resignation seven years ago,
her story is still being told
in academic offices till now
because she was a "legendary teacher."
- "Auditorium in Auditorium, Towai Kowako"
- but I didn't mean that in a positive way
Eccentric. More like a weirdo, so to say?
To give an example of
her eccentric behavior...
when she held a sketching competition
without authorization from the academy
and took a full class overseas on her own
Or when she remodeled a school building,
and created a locked room with no purpose.
Or turning a straight hallway
into a twisting labyrinth.
Even then, it seems she was
still a teacher who was
evaluated highly as an artist.
She came to work at Yubiwa Academy
after an invitation based on
high praise for her achievements.
Her first task upon working here
was the creation of this giant painting.
Just by seeing this piece,
you can feel how extraordinary
Ms. Towai was.

And that was seven years ago.
Right when artistic classes...
When the fine art classes were being
canceled, there was a commotion.
You could call it a sign of the times.
For now, we'll leave aside the evaluation
concerning the removal.
That was the direction the academy
was heading, and it was already decided.
However, Ms. Towai
vehemently opposed the decision.
Sure, you could say
that if they're being selfish
then this is a tale of selfishness.
They invited her over as a teacher,
yet the circumstances of the academy
made them about to fire her.
- Normally, one would get mad
- "Auditorium in Auditorium, Towai Kowako"
However, Ms. Towai
was not an ordinary person
so she didn't resist with
such ordinary reasons
but resolutely asserted
that children needed fine art.
Ms. Towai didn't fall back even one step
and continued the resistance
movement all by herself.
and in the end,
she said something threatening.
Something threatening,
or rather, literally a threat.
"Children should not be in a school
that doesn't teach fine art."
"So if you're going to go through
with this so-called decision,"
"I will abduct
every single student in this academy."
That's apparently what she said.
No, that was the crime proclamation
that she made herself
Abduct every single one?
A crime proclamation impossible
to carry out. It's not even a threat.
Regarding that,
she carried out her proclamation.
Ms. Towai...
- "THE KIDNAPPING WAS EXECUTED"
- and abducted all students of the academy
