Episode 6

Operation
Errand Run

I'm so busy all the time.

I can never find time to go out.

What shall I do?

Want me to help?

Rampo-san.

You're too busy healing people
to buy supplies, right?

Would you really do that for me?

I'll find someone to go for you.

So... you aren't the one going.

That's right.

Well, okay. Thank you.

I need...

Medical charts and scissors, right?

I'm impressed, Rampo-san.

Charts

Scissors

You really do see through me.

Kenji-kun.

Yes? How can I help?

Could you pick some things up at the store?

Some errands?

Yosano-san says she wants
some charts and scissors.

Got it. I'll go.

Thanks!

sh**t, I was supposed to go to a scene.

I won't make it in time
if I go shopping first.

Is there a problem?

Kunikida-san! I'm glad I ran into you.

Well, what's happening is...

I see.

Very well. I'll do the shopping for you.

Really?

Thank you!

So, what is it that she needs?

Let's see, uh...

Charts

Scissors

Charts

Scissors

Short
Ribs

Skirt
Steaks

She needs short ribs and skirt steaks.

Short Ribs Skirt Steaks]

Just what is Yosano-sensei
going to do with those?

Maybe she's grilling some meat.

Didn't you say she needed supplies?

Well, all right. I'll take care of it.

Thank you.

Oi, Dazai.

Get up, you blockhead.

Is it morning already?

Buck up.

I have work for you.

I'm busy right now.

How are you busy?!

We have some important errands to run.

Be grateful for the task.

What do I have to buy?

Yosano-sensei requires short ribs
and skirt steaks for grilling.

Why?!

Maybe she has a patient who's going
to die if they don't eat grilled meat!

I wish I had that sickness.

Anyway, that's what I've been told, so do it!

What a sl*ve driver.

Who might have some time right now?

Yosano-sensei needs some supplies?

That's right.

Kunikida-kun has designated you to do it.

What do I need to buy?

Um...

Yosano-sensei requires short ribs
and skirt steaks for grilling.

Cow

A cow.

That sounds like a lot more
work than buying supplies!

Thanks, man.

Y-You're sure about this?

Yeah.

I'm going to do it.

Yeah.

I'm going to buy a cow.

I never lied.

A few days later

It looks like Hanako.

This takes me back to my days in the village.

Do you think it'll eat this?

If it were a goat, maybe.

I mean, you shouldn't
feed goats paper, either.

See! That was wrong!

I did have a feeling
that wasn't quite right.

Hanako the Second ended up
being taken good care of.

Well, jeez.

Episode 7

Finders
Kyouka's

A kitten!

Did you find it, Kyouka-chan?

Yeah, in the alleyway.

It has a collar.

Maybe it can't find its way home.

Hey!

It seems to like you, Atsushi-kun.

Maybe it thinks he's a fellow cat.

I'm a tiger!

Nyarr!

What's going on here?

Kunikida-san...

A lost cat, huh?

Did you really think things through
before you brought it here?

Listen, it's a lot of responsibility
to take care of a living thing.

You can't keep it on a whim.

Kittens are especially delicate.

You have to feed it special milk
that's been warmed up.

It can be neither too hot nor too cold.

It must be about body temperature.

It might have a weak stomach right now,
so let's thin it down a little.

Well?

A lot of work, isn't it?

Do you see what you're getting into?

Kunikida-san's taking
impeccable care of it!

It's lapping...

You're right.

Listen...

We can't keep it here forever.

Is that not an option?

You know we can't
guarantee its safety here.

There are times when no one is around, too.

This isn't the place for a kitten.

Boss.

Mrowr

Wh-Why...

Cat Person

Why is there a cat here?

Cat Person

How endearing...

No...

Cat Person

Let me redo my entry.

I'll be right back.

Cat Person

We might be able to keep it,
but think about what's best for it.

Okay...

Found
Lost Cat

-Kitten
-Six whiskers
-Has a collar
-Likes people

Armed
Detective Agency

I don't know how to thank you
enough for taking care of her.

Not at all.

I missed you, Miiko!

I'm so sorry, Miiko.

The kitten is well cared for.

I'm glad she has a place to call home.

Kyouka-chan...

We have a great cat, too.

You should pet him
whenever you're feeling down.

I told you, I'm a tiger!

Meow!

I never got a chance to pet it...

Episode 8

Rampo-san's Day
Well Spent

Atsushi.

Whatcha doing?

I'm delivering this to the boss.

You're taking him a rice cake?!

It's from a shop that's
famous for being tasty.

I'll take it for you.

But...

Don't worry! I've got this!

Snack time, boss.

There you go.

Thank you.

The rice cake has a bite taken out of it!

Rampo.

Did you take a bite?

What are you talking about?

Urp.

I was looking forward to the rice cakes
I heard we'd be getting today.

Alas, look at this!

My precious first bite!

I see.

This is rice cake as*ault.

What do you mean, as*ault?

It's deceased!

You'd best fess up now, Rampo.

The plea bargain

Why?! How?!

D-D-Do you have super deduction, too?

Compose yourself, great detective.

Look at your own mouth.

Don't you dare wipe it on my sleeve!

Boss, are you angry about the rice cake?

No.

I've been so busy, I forgot about it.

I've kinda been reflecting on what I did.

"Kinda"?

And I've been thinking,

since you're so busy,
maybe I can do something for you.

So, I asked Atsushi where he bought the rice cake, and I went there.

Rampo!

I see.

You've bought me a new one.

I told them our boss has been
wanting to eat there.

This shop is my boss' favorite, y'know.

My, my. Thank you, dear.

You told her? That's it?

Yeah. And also...

There's more?

I replied to all those letters
you've been getting.

President
Fukuzawa
Yukichi

These are important sealed documents

from government officials
and important corporate figures!

This incident could deal
a serious blow to our company.

What would you advise,
Fukuzawa-sensei?

Do whatever, I guess?

Do whatever, I guess?

We would like your input, sir.

I got nothing

I got nothing.

We implore you to attend our meeting.

I'll go if it
seems fun

I'll go if it seems fun.

Whatever's
easier

Sounds like
a pain

Oh, really?

I guess?

I've been putting off replying to these
letters because they're so difficult...

Meh

Rampo seems to have read
my mind as always.

Should I just send these letters out?

I hope you haven't done anything else.

Well, lastly, your phone...

My phone?!

My phone has many important
messages and contacts!

What have you done?!

XX
Company

I changed the ringtone to a cat mewing.

Ah.

Huh.

Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't
help but appreciate it.

Cat Person

Dazai, quit playing around
and get back to wrok.

A child's work is to play.

You're a grown man! Now go!

Getting yelled at makes me sleepy.
Wake me up later, mom.

I'm not your mother!
