Indeed, humans are sinful and foolish.

Indeed, humans are sinful and foolish.

That's what I
like about us.

That's what I like about us.

Episode 15

Dazai-san's
Nail Biter

Wh-What...

Dazai!

Who told you to make origami
out of our documents?!

Daily Report

Today was a nice
and uneventful day.

And what is this report?!

Do it over!

Here.

Don't toss your job aside!

Do your work properly for once!

Sheesh, Kunikida-kun's always so angry.

Some people never learn.

I know, right? What do we do with that man?

What do we do?

I'm talking about you!

You should stop slacking.

A day without messing with Kunikida-kun

Sad

is like a fizzy drink without its fizz
or a rice cr*cker without its crunch.

You have to close your containers.

Kunikida-kun's indignation
is the spice of life.

Nah, the seasoning.

Like green onions!

Kunikida is green onion.

You're more like ginger.

Spice Boys

Kunikida-kun!

What?

Oh, nothing.

I see you're hard at work.

I don't know how to lie

I am an honest person

There, got him.

Operation Advertise-Kunikida-kun's-
Good-Qualities commences.

What the hell is this?!

I'll never understand you.

Hey, where did Kunikida-kun go?

I heard the boss has a private meeting with
some government figures or something.

Super-top-secret, sensitive information.

He could only bring along
people he trusts intimately.

Aw, I guess I won't have a
chance to check on him, then.

I might have done something
really, really bad.

Let's call it a day.

Please be careful not divulge any details.

Indeed.

Rest assured, we will not.

I don't know how to lie

I am an honest human being

Wait! What is that sheet of paper?

We need you to keep the secret,
even if you have to lie!

Clang!

Wait! please!

Oh-Oh-Oh, no!

Kunikida-kun's going to be
forced to eat bad food!

Huh?

I have to go!

Conserve Energy!

You don't see Dazai-san panicking
like that very often.

Yeah.

There he is! I made it!

How can you not notice,
though, Kunikida-kun?

The boss, too, for that matter.

I am an honest human being

The page curled and now it
says something different.

This might be good enough.

I am an honest
human being

Wait! What is that paper?

You can't always be honest!

Clang!

This can't be!

That won't do.

It's another bad ending.

And it was faster than last time, too.

I am a human being

Now it's just a confession of his humanity!

What is that paper?!

"I am a human being"? Indeed, you are.

Can't blame you for being human.
You're human, after all.

All human beings are created equal.

That'll do.

Whew, what a relief.

Let's go home.

Why did you go charging out earlier?

I couldn't take my eyes off the green onion.

Dazai!

This was your doing, wasn't it?

please call XXX-XXXX-XXX

I made it an ad for the
Detective Agency this time.

A Hundred Tales is a classic game in
which a hundred candles are lit,

and they are blown out one by one after
each of a hundred horror stories.

When the last candle is snuffed out,
something terrible is said to happen.

So we have...

The Armed Detective Agency Hundred Tales!

Episode 16

If Only I Could Express
My Hundred Thoughts

I object.

Why should we be doing this?

It's to cool us off.

It's still really hot, after all.

What? Are you scared, Kunikida-kun?

Of course not!

All right, I'll kick off our
so-called horror stories.

Woo! Yay!

I had a fever that day.

I remember my chills just wouldn't go away,

but I was in the middle of work.

I had no choice but to
carry on, at least until

I had finished the work in front of me.

My eyes are blurry from my fever...

That's when it happened.

I want to go home!

I want to go to bed!

The thought overtook me.

Petrifying, is it not?

That's it?!

I tried to abandon my plans and go home!

Me, Kunikida Doppo!

That's because you weren't feeling well!

You're no good at this, Kunikida-kun.

This happened in my own room just recently.

It was morning. I was supposed
to be out of bed by that time.

Something was making my head
heavy. It was pounding.

I felt sick, but I had to go to work.

I did my best to get dressed and headed
out to the Agency Headquarters.

Hey! Good morning—

And that was when...

I woke up.

What part of that was a horror story?!

I thought I'd finally made it to the Agency,
but I was still in bed.

I had to get up and go to work again.

It was so tedious—I mean, terrifying.

That's just a sleepy-head problem!

You keep coming in late
because you're so lazy!

I'm not lazy, I'm scary.

What about you, Kyouka-chan?

Any scary stories?

Nice.

Girls your age like scary stories, right?

Do you have something?

Um...

I was organizing documents one day.

I remember it being sturdy,
high quality paper.

I'd gotten it between my nail and finger.

I didn't notice, and I...

swiped it hard.

Shudder!!

Also, the meat in the stew
I had the other day was hard.

It was my tongue.

Wait a second!

Those aren't horror stories!

My heart's pounding just hearing about it.

Hey, do you have anything, Atsushi-kun?

M-Me?

It's not really a great story, but...

I was being punished at the orphanage.

I was locked in a storage room.

I noticed someone staring at me
from behind some shelves.

Does it amuse you to see me being punished?

He continued staring at me.

That's when I noticed...

There was no space beyond the
shelves for a person to fit.

What... are you?

Psych!

Okay, let's move on!

That was the scariest one yet, Atsushi-kun.

Go! Go! Go!

Dazai-san's finally lost it.

Go! Go! Gotchi go!

A dance contest?

You just have to dance
to music and send it in.

There's a cash prize for the winner.

Ten-million yen?!

That's amazing!

I know!

Why don't you join me?

Me?!

No way!

We'd be unstoppable together, Atsushi-kun.

Think of the torrent of accolades.

The giant cash prize!

Cash prize?

You'd be popular!

I'm in!

Come on, Kunikida-kun!

Join in casually,
like you've been possessed!

It's fun!

Back to work.

I wish you would call me out!

Oh, this is reality?

A dance contest?

Yeah.

Join us, Kunikida-kun.

Why should I join?

There's a ten-million-yen cash prize.

Our budget's been pretty slim
as of late, hasn't it?

Ten-million

You aren't wrong.

We could get some advertising
done if we become famous, too.

B-But...

Advertising

Whispers of the devil.

Hup! Hup!

Three! Four!

Hup! Hup!

Seven! Eight!

Bam!

No! You're so stiff, Kunikida-san!

I'm raising and lowering
my arms, like you asked.

That's your idea of choreography?!

It looked like you were
doing radio exercises!

Kunikida-kun...

It's all right.

Let's get this done right!

Armed Detective
Agency

I'm back.

Set your heavy foot forward

Whatever may be the strength guiding you

Go ahead and ask

The impulse within you is your treasure

Whether it's real or fake, take it with you

Beyond the fantasies, I go lethargically

You can take it if you want,
even if it's a dream

You just can't seem to reach, make some noise

Your empty lives take on light

Row forward and forward as
though you're pushing out

And so our future catches the wind

Even if this moment is frozen

You can't stop me from breathing

It's a waste of time

Where's the prize?

Hey.

Welcome back.

Oh, we were just...

You were recording a video for the
ten-million-yen dance competition prize, right?

You're right.

Don't worry.

You're definitely going to win.

Yes!

Fame

Cash prize

Popularity

We're going to get first prize!

A few days later...

Weirdly Unique
Performance Prize

Armed Detective Agency

The trio won a mildly impressive prize.

We w—

W—

Won?

Prize: 3,000 yen
gift certificate

Er... Uh... Well... See...

Come on! Say something!
