See, on the lunch bench

A dream blossoms

Carry the sound of

Sink your blues

Stretch a bridge to tomorrow

Don't worry about tsunami

Take care, now.

The much anticipated animation show,

Mellow Maromi, is about to start.

Ms. Sagi, as the creator of the

character Maromi, how do you feel?

Well, Maromi has grown so much,

being loved by everybody.

How should I put it?

I hope that this animation will help

spread a sense of peace among people.

It's heartwarming

just to look at it, isn't it?

Thank you.

I'm really glad if you feel that way.

OK, don't miss Mellow Maromi!

They say that Shonen Bat

showed up again.

I heard he's not "little" any more!

I heard he's like a

rock-hard strong man.

His entire body is

rough and jagged and

His face is all mutilated like this!

They say he's more of a monster

than a human. A monster.

IKARI

I know who you are.

And why you are here.

I called you, didn't I?

I admit, the thought did occur to me.

That I wanted to disappear.

That I didn't want to

prolong my life anymore

by going so far as to

have an operation.

But I was wrong.

How could I wish to die

even for a moment?

If I die, I will be betraying him,

my husband.

You also know him very well.

Don't you understand yet?

Look at this room.

Doesn't it tell you something?

CERTIFICATE OF MERI

To Police Sergeant Keiichi Ikari.

In recognition of the

distinguished service.

Yes, my husband is

Ah, you can't go that way!

NO ENTRY

They say you're indiscriminately

attacking people

who want to escape from reality.

Do you think that you're lifting

their burdens off their shoulders?

That you're giving them salvation?

Sit down.

I'll make you understand that

human beings are not as weak

or corrupt as you seem to think.

Sit down right there.

I was born with a

delicate constitution.

Throughout my childhood, the doctors

said that I wouldn't live long.

So even when I reached adulthood

I never dared dream

about getting married.

But then I met him,

and he said to me

that he would accept

everything about me.

He said,

"There's nobody I want but you."

I was overjoyed.

We got married.

A modest, humble life.

I was happy.

But

But that happiness did not last long.

We soon found out that

I wasn't able to have children.

That my body wasn't capable

of going through childbirth.

I was in despair.

I was too ashamed

to face my husband.

I have never cursed myself

as much as I did back then.

Nevertheless, he

He forgave me.

He held me tightly, and said,

"Let's accept reality."

I cried.

I cried in his arms.

I don't know anyone

as noble and

high-minded as he is.

You're late! What makes

you think you can be late?!

I'm sorry. My previous job

dragged out a little.

A newcomer like you

doesn't get to make excuses!

Move your a*s to your station, now!

Yes, sir.

Hey, what are you doing?!

Sorry!

I decided that I would become

a woman that's worthy of him.

That I would dedicate myself

to him until the end of time

without being lenient to myself,

because of my ill health.

But at some point, in contrast

with my feelings toward him

he started staying away

from home more and more.

Initially, I kept telling myself

that I just had to accept it

because he was at work.

But what if he'd finally

grown tired of me?

What if his work was an excuse

to stay away from me?

I couldn't blame him.

As you can see, I was, and

still am, a useless invalid.

I couldn't stand it.

It wasn't so much that I was

losing him, but being a burden on him.

Rather than that

Rather than causing him

so much trouble, I would

I'm so ashamed!

He's been working

himself to the bone for me.

Yet, what kind of wife would I be

if I couldn't trust him?

What a despicable,

outrageous thought that was.

I became ashamed of myself and

waited for him to come home.

Yes, with a firm belief that just as

he was my home, I was his home.

Why don't you go home

early for a change?

Your wife must be waiting for you.

It's your chance to leave early.

Why are you going to three

construction sites, one after another?

It's OK.

After all, there's no

Tests suck.

Seriously, it's a super-hassle.

I wish Shonen Bat would show up.

If he wants to do something,

destroy our school.

Let's see

Where do you wanna go?

I wanna go to the beach.

Hey, where do you wanna go?

- Oh, really?

- Oh, really?

- I'm hungry.

- I'm hungry.

That's super impossible.

After all, there's no place

I'm sorry I'm late.

I'll teach you whatever

you need to know.

You can just leave your stuff there.

So, what did you do?

You can tell me.

To become a security guard

at your age has to mean

you got yourself in a huge fix.

Hold on.

The look on your face tells me

this?

No, I

Damn, wrong guess.

I thought you were like me.

You're?

Oh, me?

I was locked up for five years.

When I got out, I couldn't

find a job, but you know

a security guard job doesn't

require any experience or

qualifications or anything, so

Mister?

Mister Ikari?

I knew it!

You're Mister Ikari!

It's me. You know,

you nabbed me once.

Inukai?

Even if he didn't always

pay much attention to it

this was the place he would

eventually come back to.

The place where he could refresh

and recover his peace of mind.

I tried my best to be a good wife,

and make home for him.

Airing out his bedding every day,

preparing a bath for him every day

so that he could come

home at any time.

I remember one night, on a rare occasion

when he was eating dinner at home

he suddenly said,

"After all, your dinner is the best."

"Thanks to you,

I can devote myself to work."

Then one day, it happened.

Something that would shatter, instantly,

everything my husband and I had built.

Yes.

Your case.

Ironic, isn't it?

An ex-detective and an ex-burglar

meeting again as co-workers.

Well, I'm the one

who's more surprised.

I never imagined I'd run

into you in a place like this.

But I'm impressed.

Knowing you

I thought you'd go back to your old

occupation after serving your sentence.

Oh, no, no.

There's no place for an old-school

burglar like me anymore.

They've even given a fancy foreign

name for good old lock-picking now.

It's ridiculous.

You were old-fashioned,

even in your days.

Your face covered

with a handkerchief

carrying a bundle on your back

wrapped in an burlap sack?

You surprised me

when I nabbed you.

Burglar always comes with

a burlap sack on his back.

You're right.

A burglar comes with burlap sack

a drunk comes with packed sushi

and oden comes in round,

triangular, and square shapes.

That's just how it is.

Well, anyhow,

the times have changed.

It's the same everywhere, I guess.

Well

I don't know, but seeing you again,

somehow feels as if I came home.

Really?

I still remember the

sermon you gave me.

"Even if the world is wrong, there

has to be something that is right."

"That's how we can go on living!"

As if to insult my husband's belief

you attacked people one by one.

He told me that he would not come

home until he arrested the culprit.

And I agreed.

If he was going to put it all on the

line in order to arrest the attacker

then my job as his wife was to

encourage and support his decision.

Even though we were apart,

my heart went with him.

The two of us together

stood against you.

But

But then!

So they fired you?

There's no place for an old-fashioned

detective like me anymore.

The same as you.

You just drew the short straw.

Well, I heard about

that case on the news.

A young kid going around

attacking people, it's insane.

That monster is a product of the age.

Yes, he really is a monster.

We were defeated. As a man

and wife, we were defeated.

He lost his job,

and we had nothing left.

But we didn't give up.

What good was it to wallow

forever in disappointment?

My husband has a new job now.

He's proud of his job and

he's working very hard for us.

Yes, we've taken a new step forward!

I've had enough, actually.

I chased the culprit

putting everything at stake, but

they cut me off like a lizard's tail.

And look where I've ended up.

But this job isn't so bad.

Yeah, you're right, it's not bad.

Any loser can do it.

Mister, what's that?

I'm a loser, and

this dog is a winner.

I found it on the street.

Come on, hurry up!

If we don't get there

quickly, it'll start!

Oh, excuse me.

There's construction in progress here,

please use the service door.

Detective?

But why?

Use the service door, please!

Ms. Sagi.

This is kind of cute

if you look at it closely.

We've become

financially hard-pressed.

And my doctor expenses

have been piling up

making it even more difficult

to make ends meet.

I told him one day that he

wouldn't have to suffer so much

if only I hadn't been with him.

He looked sharply at me and said,

"Don't ever say such a thing again."

"You're just trying to escape."

"Don't run away from reality."

"A makeshift salvation

is nothing but deception."

"No matter how hard, don't run away,

we'll overcome it together."

He said it so resolutely.

That's the kind of man he is.

A noble and strong man.

You took advantage of an unguarded

moment and appeared here.

To k*ll me.

To give me false salvation.

But I won't be seduced.

I will never again wish for death!

Yes, that's how human beings are.

No matter how hard it is,

we can face reality!

But you don't understand that.

You, who are not human.

You simply hurt and k*ll

those who are troubled

and delude yourself into thinking

that you're removing their burdens.

How pretentious!

The only thing you're capable of is

to feel pleased with yourself

by taking such action.

Your existence itself is a deception.

Yes, deluding people with

temporary peace of mind.

You're the same as

that Maromi thing!

I will undergo the operation.

Sorry I insisted on

dragging you here.

Don't worry about it.

You and me are two failures,

so let's have a good time.

Cheer up, Mister.

Life isn't all about work.

Oh yeah, you have your wife, right?

Oh, but you said she's not well.

Fortunately, she's still alive.

I'm glad to hear that.

You told me once that

she was a great wife.

Yeah, she's great.

Maybe too great.

Airs out my bedding

even when it's raining.

Heats up the bathtub

to prepare a bath for me

even when water supply is cut off.

Once I had to go on an unexpected

business trip for a week.

When I came home, there were dinners

from last week still on the table.

She was sitting in front of them,

waiting for my return the whole time.

Here you go.

Her long illness has

even affected her mind.

I've been trying so hard to

support her, even to this day.

But maybe I've reached my limit.

You're just tired.

Here, have some oden.

It's all because of that stupid,

disgusting case.

Just forget about it, and

The truth is, I don't care anymore.

I don't care about the case

or Shonen Bat any more.

The only thing I know for sure

is that my time is over.

What I dreamed about becoming

when I was a kid was

a cop chasing a burglar like you

carrying a bundle

wrapped in a burlap sack.

But such a dream is lost forever now.

There's no place for me

anywhere anymore.

I don't know about that.

Let's go.

What is this?

Hey!

Cigarettes

How can I help you?

Short Hope.

You got it.

Thief!

Somebody stop that thief!

Gather around, gather around

Somebody stop that thief!

Gather around, gather around

Stop!

The bird in the cage

the bird in the cage

Stop, stop!

Now, give up and come quietly!

When will it see them?

Now, give up and come quietly!

When will it see them?

At dawn one night

a crane and a turtle slipped.

Who's directly behind you?

Mrs. Ikari

He hasn't come home yet.

He hasn't come home yet.

Chief?

To begin

a unicorn is fighting ferociously.

Guided by the crowd of dolls

and the voice of the sage.

He obtains an ancient sword at the base

of the moon, and now on to Pegasus.

Who called the Holy Warrior?

But she was such a good child.

Well
