Bishounen Tanteidan (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - The Pretty Boy Traveling with the Brocade Portrait: Part 2 - full transcript

"The Pretty Boy with a Cloth Doll"
"Part 2"

Such an ugly stance you have!

- "Meeting with The Devil"
- You lower class being

"Kawa Ike Kodaki"

That's inappropriate, miss

- By using foul words, you lose class!
- "Doujima Mayumi"

Shut up!

You also called your master
a Zashiki Warashi...

a devil, and what's not
didn't you?

How did she find out?
Could it be that head of students council?

Could it be that he acted on a whim
to make us be friends?



Could anyone come up
with a worse plan?

What's with you, creeper of darkness?
Staring at me with your blunt eyes

Do you have something to spit out
or what?

If I had something to spit out...

Well, that Hagoita is really wonderful!

Did you make it, Ms. Kodaki?
I wonder how you make these things

More importantly, how did you move it?

Will you teach me that?

Hagoita? What's that?
I know nothing like that

That's something I don't buy

Did you come alone, Ms. Lily?

- What's that Lily thing now?
- I'll tell you

Actually, when you were walking
you looked so elegant and beautiful

You had a straight walk
just like a beautiful lily flower



What's that?
What kind of expression is this?

Fine, I'll take back what I said
about your ugly stance

Wait, wait! You were the one
who called out to me first, Ms. Kodaki

Could there be anything you want from me?

What? No, there's nothing I want

I hope this doesn't bother you
but I came to see this wonder

Wonder?

Yesterday, when we passed each other

I didn't notice that you were the new
member of the club

Heck! You wanted to join
that club so much...

you had no problem cross-dressing for them

You did it all to be escorted by pretty
boys! Do they spoil you that good?

So, that's what it looks like, eh?

I don't need that Hagoita anymore
so, tell Manabu to throw it away

Die!

I wonder about our leader

Why did he reject Ms. Kodaki
so strictly?

"Music Hall"

You need to repeat this three times
day and night until your competition

- Now, let's head to the fine arts hall
- "Sakiguchi Nagahiro"

Ms. Mayumi, did you finish the task
that the leader had given you?

What about you, Sakiguchi senpai?
Did you finish yours?

I tried to visit her house
but sadly I couldn't meet her in person

So, I had to call her on the phone
but still things were kind of vague

and because she's a first grader

I couldn't even talk for long
on the phone to her

So, at last
we had to use emails

then, at 10 pm
we lost contact

but I just met her there a minute ago

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

But, Sakiguchi senpai
will you tell what she's about?

What exactly happened between
her and the club members last summer?

Sure, since yesterday
you've been trying to ask about this

So, you've become Kodaki's first friend
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0

So, you've become Kodaki's first friend

and she couldn't keep silent anymore

The devil's first friend?

"The Birth of The Devil"

- Ladies and Gents
- "The works of Seishi Yokomizu"

Where shall I start this story?

First, why not talk about the origins
of Ms. Kawa Ike Kodaki?

When I first met her, Ms. Kodaki
seemed like a flawless normal person

She was a cute young lady

As for today's story, it is to clear
a misunderstanding that's been done

To me, whatever happens this relationship
will always be my parent's planned kin

it will never pass that limit

As per Ms. Kodaki
this relationship's a tragedy

Because she was born this way

She never used to speak to people
saying "beggars" or "lower class people"

or anything like that at all

These foul words she uses are the result
of a certain upraising and social class

that's different from other people

this was done because before
she could even think for herself

Her family, the Kawa Ike family
rejected all that's different

and I believe that this is the way
that she expresses her fury after all

By the way, Ms. Mayumi
the Kimono you saw earlier

you could say it's a remnant
of a former social image

it's always the only memory from her late
mother who died due to the pressure

that's why, Kodaki, holds on to it dearly

So, she grew up always finding herself
a complementary object on the side

she was trapped in a state of loss

But the Kawa Ike family and their
attachment to their glories

and their ancestors

and all these stuff, cause the poor girl
to be crushed under the weight of it

and society crushed her the most

When a company goes bankrupt, it's domino
and to limit the damages

several companies try to lend
a helping hand to revive the victim

and this way, Kawa Ike was barely saved

One of the biggest supporters
for them...

was the Sakiguchi family
but there had to be some relationship

It wasn't romantic, it turned into a joke
about me having a Lolita Complex

but the aid was delivered through
marital and kinship relationships

You must be wondering why I didn't refuse

I also have a reputation
and an image to keep up with

If the Kawa Ikes regain their place
before I'm 18 years old, then it's fine

In the meantime, I also have myself
to take care of and build up

and this type of help offering
is a good kind of experience to me

But, God! Could I've been more wrong?

The victim of this annoying mission
wasn't just me

Yes, Ms. Kodaki was also
another victim at stake

Surely, you can imagine
how things turned out to be later

She started following me
even to private places

like the student council
speeches and friend gatherings

She did that very enthusiastically

All of this, led to the problem
that we faced last summer

Yes, the problem of the summer camp
that the club had held

I had everything planned out
and it all went wrong

For someone with no Lolita Complex
I had my friends as my priority

but that wasn't allowed

Yes, that little devil
wouldn't forgive me for that

For the girl who had her wealth's
protection come first

she did all she could so that we'd travel
as the club was bad for me

It wasn't like Ms. Kodaki
hated the club from the start

At the beginning, she actually
wanted to join the club

But in case her travel plans worked
she thought I'll simply tag along

As I mentioned earlier, this idea
was quite frustrating

also, the leader would reject her
time and time again tirelessly

This made everyone wonder
what kind of relationship we had

in the end, it's called
"Pretty Boy Detective Club"

Naturally, a girl can't really join
and that's what everyone had thought

but after all that, accepting you
was a surprise to all of us

and thinking that it was fine
just because you cross-dressed...

Ms. Kodaki couldn't believe it

So, there was no room for forgiveness

So, for Ms. Kodaki who has been rejected
time and time again

She had to take drastic measures

and as you said yourself, Ms. Mayumi

Even when she walks
her footsteps can't be heard

Just as she did earlier with you
sneaking up to scare you unnoticed

That was exactly what Ms. Kodaki did

By the end of the summer camp

and in the school
after the club meeting

she followed the leader
stealthily and silently

then she pushed him
attempting to cause him harm

She pushed him down the stairs

Luckily, at the time
he didn't suffer huge damages

but the leader's leg was hurt badly

and he had to use canes for a while
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0

and he had to use canes for a while

The leader said that his foot slipped
and protected Ms. Kodaki evading the fuss

and after she reflected on it
and knew what she did wrong...

Ms. Kodaki decided to stay away
from the club and never come close

until yesterday...

Until yesterday?

Yes...

Having accepted you as a member
of the club was her motive for sure

So, I believe that if you would become
Ms. Kodaki's new best friend

then it would be a good thing

That's it then, that's the whole thing?

Now that I heard the whole story....

Now that I heard the whole story....

The state of that girl...

Her psychological situation...

Still, there's no change
in my impression

Had it been a mere discomfort, OK
but it's getting worse

let alone the strange words she uses
like "lower class creepers" to mock others

I understand that she has a deep complex
somewhere deep within, but still...

Maybe that's why he didn't forgive her
after all, she didn't leave any way for it

I apologize for being
a bad girl, Ms. Kodaki

Not at all, I think that because of that
you will become her best friend

that's why I let things move naturally
without interfering

Don't say I'm bad as if it's nothing

By the way, why did the leader reject
the devil and accept a bad girl like me?

Were you able to find the reason
Sakiguchi senpai?

No, I didn't even ask the leader about it

he must have a deep reason for that

By the way, Sakiguchi senpai
in your opinion...

The Hagoita that's been moved
into the art room, why was it moved?

I wonder, can we send it back to her?

Yes, but I need it because
it's a gift from my fiance

and she meant to say
"Let's start a realistic relationship"

but in a very childish way

I wonder if it was, actually, childish

When offering someone a Hagoita

it's usually a new year's present
between lovers to express their union

Knowing that, could Sakiguchi
really take this present?

Is he trying to create an environment
safe enough to exchange gifts?

For a girl he treats
only officially as his fiance

she doesn't seem childish to me
but kind of sly

Everything went according to plan
when giving theories in the club

- "Soutoin Manabu"
- Manabu came up with a twisted theory

- "Ashikaga Hyouta"
- Bare-Legs was all about conspiracy

- "Yubiwa Sousaku"
- The Genius Child, sat as quiet as ever

- "Fukuroi Michiru"
- and Mr. Delinquent's theory was dull

but when it was time for me
to give my theory, Mr. Delinquent came in

Don't you think that it doesn't really
matter...

how that little devil
move her Hagoita here?

Isn't it faster to ask her directly?

So, as expected, she moved here
but we must make sure of the way

I think we should leave her no escape
when we ask her

No, in this way...

if we trap her in a corner now

that devil won't admit her crime
to start with

and she won't even reflect on it

What we need is a drastic solution

What are you trying to say, Michiru?

Here's what I'm saying...

If you're not a Lolita kind of guy

staying with the devil will give the image
that you're making excuses to be with her

If that's not your intention, I suggest
you dispose of this thing asap

Michiru! You went too far
in not considering Nagahiro's feelings

I think it's too early
to cut this relationship

I think he wants to enjoy his time with
the devil until elementary school's done

Not at all, please, shut up!

I see, I won't bother the group anymore
that's for one

and most importantly
I'm also sick of this

Our engagement is an arranged one
and no one asked me about it

and now, it's time to end this farce

Nagahiro, are you OK with
what you're saying?

To me, there's no problem at all

and what actually happened back then
is that my foot really slipped

even if that's true

in the end, Ms. Kodaki
followed you and scared you

I should have made this decision
back then and on spot

but as a middle school student

I shouldn't have interfered between
the two families like that

Although I was her fiance
I was more of a parent to her

and that was a huge mistake

Being a member of the club
is to be a good boy, right?

OK

What about you, Mayumi?
Do you agree to that?

Ms. Kodaki suddenly seems like a poor
little girl to me after clearing things
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0

Ms. Kodaki suddenly seems like a poor
little girl to me after clearing things

After knowing about her family
and her circumstances and all

I feel that she's very lonely

An evil, smart, naive
and a very twisted character girl

violent, rude, black hearted
lonely girl with nothing good about her

but that's...

that doesn't mean we need
to give up on her!

After all, I'm Mayumi
of the beautiful eyes!

This isn't fair, leader!

Having the people we love in a world
where help doesn't exist is not beautiful

Even if I was the bad girl
whom she hates, no harm in helping her

Think, think, think, think
think, think, think

The thing's that Ms. Kodaki
who doesn't know what to do now

is able to transfer anything dangerous
into the fine arts room

so, if we cut out this possibility
we can start anew with her

and if we do, just like that...

there won't be a need to end
this engagement in the first place

Think, think, think, think
think, think, think, think

But, of course, we need a solution

regarding the way this little girl
moved this huge human sized Hagoita here

What methods did she use?

Could she have moved it
with her skinny arms?

I don't think so, even I with my current
body, I can't move it

Those who seek the stars
seek only the sky above

but one's dream can't be forgotten

So, if you try and look down
you will see both the ground...

and the stars altogether

"Epilogue"

During the training camp

We, second year students
of the class B had won

we got a golden medal
at the chorus contest for our great show

Are you saying that
whatever comes is good? Exactly

In fact, we didn't get any golden medals

because in reality there was no committee
to judge the performances

So, all participants
were at the same level

Yes, yes

In this case, there were no losers here

and Ms. Kodaki and Mr. Sakiguchi's
engagement didn't break after all

and the Lolita Complex thing
was never cleared

and the rumors still stand

I don't know if that's a good or bad thing

but today the weather's great

As for those seeking the stars...

of course, that's the one who searched
for a star for 10 years

and the sky, wasn't the actual sky
it was the art room's ceiling

As for the ground opposing the sky

it was meant to be
the floor of the art room

Now, we can see the truth
of the latest events

When lifting the table cloth a bit

we unravel a new secret

The only deeming proof
lies underneath the table

She snuck into the art room
when the members weren't around

cut the carpet

removed the planks

and surely, she couldn't leave it at that

she had to stop and hide it all

This way, the little sneaky girl
was able to do it all

Alright, fine

Even when you come up with such
a deeming proof...

I don't think that Ms. Kodaki
would confess to her crime

but after knowing the way she did it

we can be more careful next time

That little devil got herself
a good friend after all

I wonder who you're talking about

and I too, got myself a good
younger club mate

I also have a very good
older club mate, senpai

Leader, I have a question...

Why did you allow me to join you
after rejecting Ms. Kodaki?

First, let me correct you on something

I was not pushed by the little devil
down the stairs

no matter how much I say that
no one would believe me

I think they underestimate their leader

But, didn't you do this to protect her
and then...

Right, since no one could hear
the steps of that girl...

and as she makes any sound
everyone gets startled then...

As for why I rejected Ms. Kodaki's request

shouldn't you have already figured it out
with your smarts, Ms. Mayumi?

We're called
"The Pretty Boy Detective Club"

This place isn't a place for a girl
who is falling in love

So, it's not because she's a girl
but because she's in love

After all, whatever she does
she'll be a kind girl with warm feelings

So, to protect her feelings
and as a form of sympathy

The leader, Soutoin
rejected her request to join

in this case, he also is quite far sighted

but I still wonder, shouldn't those
feelings be toward her fiance?
WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.0

but I still wonder, shouldn't those
feelings be toward her fiance?

I don't want that Hagoita anymore
tell Manabu to throw it away

Die!

Ms. Kodaki told me to tell Manabu

Yes, Manabu alone

Her apology wasn't for the vice president
but for the leader himself

As for how people took it
then it's up to them

Explaining her request to take back
her Hagoita as a type of greed

was due to Manabu's prejudgment of her

that's childish and very limited

and if she wasn't the one who pushed him
down those stairs...

it seems that she snuck behind him
trying to tell him something

That's just a logical guess in the end

something that a good detective
doesn't depend on

but my guess, as the bad friend is this

She's too shy to ask for things loudly

thus, her low, weak voice
during a conversation...

is because she's not confident enough
