Lord Daisuke! Lord Daisuke!
Lord Daisuke! Lord Daisuke, please wait!
Lord Daisuke!
Lord Daisuke... Why?
What?
You got some time right now?
Yeah.
Hurry up and get to the point.
Sorry to do this while you're off-duty, but could you help me with something?
Well, it's not like I absolutely need your help, but...
I don't mind heading over, however...
Um... I can drop you off right in front of the park.
I'm fine here.
"DISTRICT 3 CHILDREN'S PARK"
Hey.
What do you want?
Hey. Sorry about this.
Hurry up and get to the point.
Is something wrong with that child?
Is this the man?
Yeah.
Mister! Please, can you find Shiro for me?
What's going on?
Shiro has gone missing!
Well, basically... A puppy named Shiro has gone missing.
Can you use your AI butler to find him?
What characteristics does the dog have?
Can you tell this man what kind of dog he is?
Okay.
He's all white, tiny, and cute!
Apparently the dog's leash got unhooked while they were playing in this park.
That's impossible.
Don't be such a cheapskate.
It should be instantaneous if you wanted to do it, right?
I'm not doing so well today.
So he can't use magic?
Magic?
What you do is like magic, right? Although you can buy it with money.
Mister, can you help me look for him, please?
Looking for a dog is not a police officer's job.
Shiro.
Hey! Stop acting like a jerk. Let's just hurry up and find him.
I have my own reasons.
Fine. I'll look for it.
Really?
Don't make me repeat myself.
All right!
You said you'd help look!
No take-backs allowed, got that?
You're a human being after all, huh?
I fell for the same trick, too.
This boy is Tsuyoshi Nomura, a 4th grader.
This is a promise between men!
If you lie, you'll have to tell Lord Enma--
Which way is your house?
Oh, it's that way.
Let's go.
Hold on. Shiro went off in that direction...
That's just pretense.
Pretense?
That dog is likely mocking you.
It's playing around, and went home ahead of you.
Have you ever had a dog?
That's just how dogs are.
So you haven't.
But I don't think Shiro knows the way.
Don't you take this route when you take him on a walk?
I recently bought him from Mr. Satomura.
Mr. Satomura?
Yeah. He lives in the neighborhood, and owns a lot of dogs.
Likely a breeder.
A dog's sense of smell is 100 million times more than a human's.
It's impossible for it to become lost.
By now, that dog is back home and taking a nap.
Really? Then let's go!
Hey!
That dog probably hasn't gone home.
That has nothing to do with me.
What should I do? He hasn't returned yet.
You're worrying too much. It's not like he's a lost puppy.
But...
Is something the matter?
Lord Daisuke has bolted out of the house.
He was summoned by his coworker, Mr. Kato, so I just dropped him off.
However, he forgot this inside the car.
That can't be...
He can't use HEUSC, and he left his wallet behind as well.
What should I do?
Leave him be. He will return once he gets hungry.
Oh dear. He's not a dog, though.
Are we not at your house yet?
What, are you tired, old man? You're really lazy.
You sure came a long way for your dog walk.
That's because it's close to Satoru's house.
What's up?
There's Shiro!
H-Hey, this is someone's house!
Like I care! Shiro's going to get away!
Leave him be.
But what are we going to do?
He'll be under police custody in due time.
But we're the police!
Was he really here?
Huh? Are you an idiot, mister?
I have nothing to gain from lying!
Excuse me!
Um... What do you want?
There's been a situation, and we're looking for a dog. If you could assist--
Shiro! Over here!
Come on! Come out of there!
This is our Yuki.
We're terribly sorry!
"WATCH FOR ANIMALS"
Looks like he ran off.
Oh, well. Come on, let's go home for now, all right?
Don't worry. Maybe Shiro is back home as well.
Come on, let's go.
This way?
I don't know.
Hey, there's no point in pouting now. Let's just get you home, and--
I'm telling you, I don't know where my house is!
Okay. Thank you, we'll see you soon.
His mother will be here in about 15 minutes.
Thank you very much.
See ya.
Mister!
You made a promise to keep looking for Shiro, okay?
Yeah. That's a promise.
Geez. I got caught up by a troublesome kid...
I thought you already went home.
Sorry to make you tag along when you were off-duty.
I can handle the rest by myself.
"YOSHIMATSUYA"
You want to eat?
No.
There's a steak waiting for you in your big mansion, isn't there?
See you.
I don't have any.
Don't have what?
I have... no money.
So that's what you meant by not being able to use magic.
Here, I'll lend you enough for train fare.
"I AM EAGERLY AWAITING YOUR RETURN. SUZUE"
I cannot go home right now.
I wonder if he plans to not return tonight.
Maybe he didn't like the patterns on the shirt I handed to him to wear this morning?
Or that I woke him up three minutes earlier than usual...
Or because I suggested to have seconds twice during his meal...
Oh no, it might have been because I had natto served for breakfast.
But that's because we're thinking about Lord Daisuke's health...
Perhaps it was because I updated his shoes from +5 centimeters to +7 centimeters?
That must be it.
What have I done!
This should be good experience for him, as he knows so little of this world.
Haru is with him, too, after all.
Did something happen back home?
"NATTO"
Well, I'm not saying it's a bother or anything.
What are you doing?
Oh, I'm looking at the expiration date.
I see, you're going to buy a newer one.
No, the opposite.
They toss it out when it's past the expiration date, and I drink it all in two days anyway.
Okay, now we just need some roux.
Do you always buy things yourself?
Of course I do. Who else would do this for me?
Isn't it more efficient for someone else in your household to do this?
It must be nice to have a wife.
Wife?
Maybe you had an argument with your wife?
Argument with my wife?
You had an argument with Suzue, right?
Suzue is a relative.
A relative?
Yeah.
I see! A relative!
So that's it! I see, I see!
"I REGRET MY PAST ACTIONS. SUZUE"
What are you doing?
This is where you live?
Got a problem with that?
No.
It's a bit cluttered, but don't worry about it.
So you really do live here?
Stop pestering!
I have to cook some rice first...
All right, can you chop up the carrots and potatoes over there?
If you don't hurry up, it'll just take longer until we eat.
The first aid box.
What's wrong?
I injured myself. Bring me the first aid box.
Huh? Like I'd have something like that. Just lick it, and it'll heal.
This is all you have?
You know, you've been complaining this whole time.
Time to eat!
Thanks for the food.
This is tasty.
What's this?
Potato soju. Just shut up and drink.
Hey, you can hold your drinks.
Here. I bought some dry-cured ham that might suit your wealthy palate.
This isn't edible.
This cost me 1,500 yen!
The only dry-cured ham I eat is Jamon Iberico de Bellota.
I-Iberic...
A can of tuna, bean sprouts...
Pour some soy sauce with tons of wasabi in it...
And lastly, some bonito flakes.
A Kato family special, Tuna Bean Sprouts!
All right!
Please let me go, Director!
No. Wait for authorization from higher up.
Why? Why do we hesitate to act for justice?
Weren't detectives supposed to be heroes before they are civil servants?
Don't be so naïve. This isn't a detective agency.
This is the Metropolitan Police Department.
And you call yourself a police officer?
Inspector Asano, you are ordered on indefinite leave effective today.
"CRY TO THE SUN!"
Being a hero, and being a civil servant...
You get it, Kambe?
Why?
I said, a hero and a civil servant.
Can you do something like that?
It's hard to be like that.
You're the scion of the Kambe Group, right?
Why did you come to our department?
Our...
You requested Modern Crimes, didn't you?
Well, this department is perfect for a temp job.
It's probably just a rich boy's hobby for you.
Hey, don't fall asleep on me!
I'm not asleep.
I'm closing my eyes.
Asano... You better not die.
Director... Please don't die.
Don't die!
Please don't die.... Lord Daisuke...
Oh, have you been here the whole time?
Yes. I've been worried about Lord Daisuke.
How excessive.
It's just that Lord Daisuke has not once spent an entire night with no money on hand.
Come to think, you're right.
Balance: LIMITED.
Oh, hush!
Ow... I drank too much.
He went home, huh?
Is it morning?
Hey, Kamei.
Put me down for commuting directly to the scene for today.
You idiot! How many favors do you think you owe me?
What will you do?
I really don't have much of a choice. I'm going to look around a bit more.
Is natto and miso soup okay?
Natto, huh?
Don't whine. It's good for you. Besides...
This recipe is also a Kato family special.
Sorry to make you tag along.
There's almost no chance that you'll find the dog.
Well, I'll do what I can.
I see.
"LOOKING FOR THIS DOG" "SEX: MALE" "NAME: SHIRO" "HE IS CUTE"
"LOOKING FOR A LOST DOG. HE RAN AWAY AROUND DISTRICT 3 CHILDREN'S PARK.
CHARACTERISTICS: WHITE PUPPY, BLUE COLLAR PLEASE CONTACT IF YOU HAVE ANY CLUES."
"LOOKING FOR THIS DOG" "SEX: MALE" "NAME: SHIRO" "HE IS CUTE"
"DISTRICT 3 CHILDREN'S PARK"
I'm sure someone will find him.
Shiro!
Shiro! Where have you been?
Where did you...
That breeder named Satomura.
That's a sibling of the Shiro that he's been looking for.
I'm sure he can't tell the two apart, but tell his parents about it beforehand.
That's not what this is about! Don't think that everything can be solved with money--
Shiro is no longer here.
I inquired at this ward's health center.
After Shiro was separated from the boy, the dog got ran over by a car.
It's 50,000 yen, plus sales tax. Make sure to pay him before the day is over.
Shiro! It's really good to see you!
Don't ever run away again, okay?
Shiro!
I'm taking today off.
Are you going home?
Yeah. I shouldn't make them worry too much.
Hey.
Lend me enough... for the train fare.
Welcome back, sir.
Yeah.
Lord Daisuke!
I have returned.
Welcome home. I'm glad to see you are safe.
Something like this is rather trivial.
Suzue.
Are you hungry?
On top of natto, add some mayonnaise, a soft-boiled egg, and then you mix it.
Top it off with a bit of black pepper...
The grand total is 246 yen.
Balance: UNLIMITED.
I said hush!
Th-Thank you for the food.
This is delicious, Lord Daisuke!
They call it "The Devil's Natto Rice."
