"Pretty Boy Detective Club"

"Zashiki Warashi Spirit"

"Here comes the Zashiki Warashi"

"Beautiful!"

"Not a step wrong"

"Beautiful standing, beautiful
seated, and while walking, as a lily"

"Little Ms. Lily"

"Why is there a kimono dressed
girl in the middle school?"



Move over beggar

are you trying to get killed?

"What?"

"What was I just told?"

Didn't I order you to move away?

Are you making a death wish?

How could a lower society person
stand on her feet before her masters?

"What? Is it wrong to stand up?"

That's why you're stuck
in the lowest class of society

when I think that I'll be ruling
these people one day...

I feel like committing suicide

By the way, I memorized your face

"Beautiful standing, beautiful
seated, and while walking, as a lily"

"If you stand then you shall sit
then you might see the lily"



"Fukuroi Michiru"

What's that, Mayumi?
Why are you standing here like this?

- "Doujima Mayumi"
- Mr. Delinquent!

What's with you, girl?

- Did anything happen?
- I never thought seeing your scary face

would give me so much comfort

I apologize for thinking that you only
scare people until now

Well, you should!

Why not start at "your scary face"
thing you just said to me?

By the way, Mrs. Delinquent!

Do you think that Mr. Sakiguchi
will come today?

Do you mean Nagahiro?
I don't know

Do you need something from him?

He's been skipping quite a lot lately
since he's busy with the students council

but that's only natural

By the way, until when are you planning
on calling him so politely and distant?

Mr. Delinquent, Mr. Bare Legs
and Genius Boy

all these rude nicknames
why don't you make him one?

How come he's the only one
you call him politely and respectfully?

It's not like that, but it's just that
he's a third year student

and no matter what, I can't just call him
"The Lolicon Pervert"

I'm not asking you to humiliate him!

It's just that we don't care a lot
about formalities

At most, we respect the leader
for being the head of the club

other than that, we're all equals

otherwise there's nothing to bring me
and Nagahiro together

So, Mayumi, in case he comes today

and if you have something to ask of him
it'll be Ba good chance

You can call him something like
"Prudent Student" or something

You can call him something like
"Prudent Student" or something

"Prudent Student"? Won't it be too clear
that I'm making fun of him?

Well, the whole idea of nicknames
is to make fun of others

This is one huge traditional Hagoita

"Kimono Hagoita"

It seems that this kind of Hagoita
is called Oshie-Hagoita

I wonder if it's some new art project
that Sousaku had started

"Yubiwa Sousaku"

- "Sotouin Manabu"
- I don't recall that, though

Could be another project of Ms. Towai's?

I don't think that's possible, Ms. Mayumi

after all, Ms. Towai's become
an outsider to this school

- "Ashikaga Hyouta"
- How could she get this thing in here?

OK, exactly as you said

Isn't it that strange manipulative
hidden boy?

According to how I know him
and the way he thinks...

I think that his interest and gains
are very little here

After all, Mr. Fudatsuki
is a player type of guy

so, he's someone who joins
actions of fun and amusement

It seems that you get
that manipulator too well

It's not like that, Mr. Delinquent

In case you know your enemies well
then you'll be safer from danger

- Don't get jealous now
- Who's jealous of what?

You really have no idea
where you stand, girl!

That's so strange!

After all, it takes guts to give a present
to your enemies like that

still, I didn't expect the present to be
a traditional Hagoita like this one

also, it has no meaning at all
when it comes to sending a fun message

What are you guys talking about now?
It's all clear, right?

Also, very soon
it's going to be the end of the year

What about Twenties?
Can Ms. Rei have anything to do with it?

That might also be a possibility

After all, they're a group of criminals
involved in many notorious actions

like abductions, killings, bombs
and stuff like that

but I still don't think it's them
I mean, I saw it with my own eyes

Is that so? What a shame!

I was hoping I'd see
Ms. Rei's plump legs again

Now what? We're back
right where we started, knowing nothing

Aren't there any results
from your extraordinary eyes?

Isn't this discussion a waste
of time, after all?

In this case, let's leave the search
to Nagahiro

Sure, this discussion seems to be
missing without Nagahiro

Now, all we have to do is go by the plan
that we've already set

The winter break's coming soon
and our club will have a winter camp

How fast did he change the subject

I don't think this is an easy thing to do
it needs to be well planned and all

As for the case, at least let's look
for clues or ask people for sightings

I remember now, while coming here today...

I noticed this strange presence

or what you might call
Zashiki Warashi

Does that mean that she's the one
who did it?

Could it be that she carried this thing
and placed it here?

A winter camp?

What's on your mind, leader?

Are we going somewhere snowy...

then you'll make me cook
3 meals a day for you?

How much energy do you think I have?

After all, I'm not your private cook

Of course, we can't go through winter
break without even one activity

We must adjust and spend
the break doing something, right?

Other than that, everything's ready for me

but can we change the idea
of going somewhere cold?

if I get goosebumps
my beautiful leg's will be ruined

May I say something?

What's wrong?
What's with you, Mayumi?

If this was about the winter camp
then you may suggest what you like

No, I was talking about the Hagoita

My, my! You're still talking about that?

What persistence!

What's wrong, Mayumi?

Ever since we started today, you had
a face as if you want to say something

Zashiki Warashi

while coming here
I saw one of parlor children spirits

could she be our culprit
who carried this thing here?

Mayumi

That spirit...

Did she call you a beggar, commoner
fool, and disgrace?

Actually, she called me a beggar
and commoner

As for fool and disgrace
she didn't say any of those

She said one more thing...

still, it was so horrible
I automatically cut it off of my memory

Was that
"Lower class of society?"

- "Lower class"
- How did you know?

Mr. Delinquent, Mr. Bare Legs
do you guys know Ms. Lily?

She's not Ms. Lily

- Her name is Kawa Ike Kodaki
- Kawa Ike Kodaki!
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0

That's Nagahiro's fiance

She's no spirit at all
more likely, she's a devil

A devil!

Mayumi, I could simply say
that you'd seen a monster before you

"A Top Secret Mission
(The Errand)"

But Mayumi, before you joined us
many things happened

Especially in the last summer camp

The last summer camp?

More accurately, there was no summer camp

It was withheld and cut off
because of that little devil

What exactly happened?

About what happened, it's always better
to ask the person of relation

So, this story won't be told
without Nagahiro being around

Mayumi, forgive me but can I
ask you for a favor?

"Sakiguchi Nagahiro"

Sorry for the delay, Ms. Mayumi

Now, tell me
was there anything I could help you with?

I see now, so that's it, huh?

My fiance must have been a burden to you

In fact, this engagement
was decided by my parents

but I think that I would have rathered
to introduce you in a more proper manner

I'll beat you to saying that it's Kodaki

That game is definitely
related to Kodaki

Even in this case
let me give you a general explanation

Before you joined us, Mayumi
many things happened

still, I won't be able to explain
but shortly and a few

If she finds out about you
joining us so easily

I'm afraid that she might give
an aggressive reaction somehow

Because...

Because that girl...

Yubiwa's seventh grader
from group A

The girl called Kawa Ike Kodaki...

she was directly rejected
by the leader from joining the club

As a matter of fact, I stopped
after hearing the name...

the rest of the information
he was whispering into my ears

didn't get to my head straight

By the way, Sakiguchi

You might be shocked to hear
what I'm going to say so suddenly

but I can no longer hold back

If it's not you then it won't do

Will you listen to my feelings?

What's that? Why does it sound
as if I'm confessing my feelings?

It's not like that, you're very handsome
and all, but I don't love you this way

Why am I getting rejected
before I even propose?

There's something I want to ask you
and I'm hoping you'd help me

and that's how to train my voice

- Train your voice?
- There's a choir competition

it's a regular at Yubiwa middle school
that's held often

the thing is that roles
are being distributed

"Boys' footwear"

Until now, I didn't explain to anyone
why I'm dressed in boys' outfit

and although I was high pitched
I ended up with the roaring boys

I was forced into their group

So, I want you, Sakiguchi

to teach me how to change
the pitch and tone of my voice

Teach me one song that I can sing
without doing much effort at a low pitch

So, just by teaching you a song
your voice will change?

Why don't you ask the head of the choir
or their assistant to sing as a soprano?

While we're talking here
our group is fading away, you know

That's right, yes, but...

Fine, right?

After all, Ms. Kodaki, my fiance
had bothered you a lot

so, I don't mind teaching you
a technique to sing

but I have one condition

What condition?
I wonder if you meant no conditions?

Ms. Mayumi, this is also a skill

so, all I ask of you is this
will you befriend Kodaki for me?

That girl has no friends at all

So?

When it comes to friends
I don't have any either

"The Six Members Gather"

What do you say, Nagahiro?
Do you think that Kodaki did this?

I almost have no doubt at all
but, as usual...

I have no idea at all
what she's trying to make here

Must be some ill thought
from her sick mind again

Hello, leader
I'm late

You've been through a lot because of me
and so, I must apologize for that

What? No problem at all
formalities are useless between us

in these cases we cooperate
to make it through

Could Ms. Lily
I mean Ms. Kodaki
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0

Could Ms. Lily
I mean Ms. Kodaki

have wanted to join the club
so, she left this hagoita as a price?

That's such a kind way
of seeing things, Ms. Mayumi

Yes, I don't think that's the case either

Had you told me that it's a declaration
of war then I'd be more convinced

Declaration of war!

No way! Because giving
a Hagoita as a present means...

I wonder what she meant
to put this thing amongst us...

but sadly, I won't be able
to ignore this action

I think that what's best
is to have her take it with her

Not only to make her admit her sin
but also to take responsibility for it

Still, that out of control devil
would listen to no one whatsoever

Don't worry, Michiru, about that
I have an idea that would help

About that idea, I have a bad feeling
that I'll be entangled in it

That's it then, these negotiations
are to be done by Nagahiro alone

as your beautiful voice might not reach
everyone here, my dear Mayumi

So, let's let him be free

and instead of thinking about this now

let's think about something else

Taking action with such a huge thing
isn't a simple matter

How was that devil able to move it
into the fine arts room?

If we can't get that first
we won't get her choice of timing

Then it will not only be suspicious
but it'll also be dangerous

"Kawa Ike's Mission Impossible
(by nature), Part 1"

Is that so? But I don't see it
as very mysterious to be honest

I mean she must have used something
like a cart or so

She can't use carts here

The school building's full of stairs

and let's say that she did use it
and came with it to the fine arts room

then she must go out with it
and take it so that no one sees it

but the girl I saw, was hands free
and had nothing in her hands

- How do you explain that?
- Must you be so happy proving me wrong?

Don't you think that this way
you're a bit like Kawa Ike Kodaki?

Couldn't she have asked someone
to do the moving for her?

"Kawa Ike Kodaki's Mission Impossible
(By Nature), Part 2"

Even if it's possible, that little devil
won't ask no one for no favors

"Kawa Ike Kodaki's Mission Impossible
(By Nature), Part 3"

I also don't think she'll get more people
and risk getting caught easily

So, does that get Ms. Lily
off the hook now?

No, she's definitely the culprit

As I told you, this thing
was surely made by her

Now, in case we don't confront her
we'll have 2 major puzzles

- First, why did Kodaki do this?
- "First puzzle, why do it?"

- The second is how did she do it?
- "Second puzzle, how she did it?"

That's not reasonable, for some reason
Nagahiro decides that she did it

and now, we're thinking about this

I don't think that the culprit
carried this thing and moved it

More logically, they dismantle it
and moved it in pieces

OK, but that's impossible!

This was made as a one piece
that can't be dismantled

and it's also the size that children
can't possibly move it

Most importantly, can something this big
pass through the door?

It could be much lighter than we think

If we carry this thing and make sure
if it goes through the door or not

we'll get two goals in one blow

The only problem is to find
the person willing to do this

The person who would touch
that creepy thing

but that's not necessarily something
for someone with a strong physique

Alright then, Mr. Sot...

No, I'll do it

Scary! These people love
their leader a bit too much

Somebody help!
This is too much for me!

So, you think you're a heroine?

As expected of boys
you can always count on them

Give up your heroine act and look
for something more like you, dear

Come on now, we'll move it

It passed quite easily

Would you like us
to check it on the table?

How about we dismantle it at once?

What? But we already know
that it could be moved as one piece

Yes, but if we dismantle it
we might get some information, you know

"As an artist, I respect others' work
and can't do such a thing"
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0

"As an artist, I respect others' work
and can't do such a thing"

Don't tell me, tell that bare legs dude!

Who do you think is happiest
to break things here?

In this case, the discussion ends here

I don't want to prolong any more

and let's meet here tomorrow early morning

and listen to other members but Nagahiro
and their wonderful beautiful theories

about Ms. Kawa Ike Kodaki
and how she moved this thing here

By the way, also think about a destination
for our winter camp this year

As for today
the meeting ends here

and Cloth Toy, Part 1"

- What an ugly posture!
