﻿We are
﻿tormented by the selfish desires of two men.
﻿Both physically and mentally
we have suffered a lot
There was

only one way to end it all.
﻿Don't be the hunted,

Kazamigaoka Residence
﻿Good morning. I'm borrowing your kitchen.
﻿Good morning.
﻿Sorry I overslept.
﻿Just in time to see your sleeping face.
Food's almost ready.
Eggs ﻿Benedict, enjoy.
﻿Bon Appétit
﻿Yummy!
﻿No, I mean.
﻿- It's delicious. - That's fine.
﻿I'm happier when you say "Yummy!"
﻿Ryuhei, you're really good at everything.
﻿Cleaning and washing clothes, and your cooking is perfect.
﻿When we first met, I didn't think you were a cop.
﻿I always had the impression that criminal detectives wore wrinkled clothes.
﻿I also did not expect you to be an investigator.
Investigators are usually wearing hats and sunglasses with cigarettes, right?
﻿What era are you thinking about?
﻿It's really delicious... no,
Yummy!
Midori,
will you marry me?
What?
﻿Originally I wanted to propose to you on your birthday.
﻿But I can't wait any longer.
Will you
﻿marry me?
Ibiza Ladies Private Investigation Agency
﻿Good morning.
﻿Are you not feeling well, Kuwamura?
﻿You're shaking.
﻿Yes, I'm shaking without realizing it.
﻿You're seriously ill. Go to the hospital.
This morning, she was proposed to by her boyfriend cop.
﻿So it's a love sickness.
﻿- Excuse me. - Yes.
﻿I called yesterday, I'm Nozoe.
﻿Ah, we've been expecting you.
﻿Regarding your request for an investigation,
what exactly do you want us to investigate?
﻿Well...
﻿Uhm...
﻿I'll take care of it.
Kuwamura-san, you already have so many cases on your plate, don't you?
﻿It's okay.
Chief, you could help to hand out flyers.
﻿After all, there's no one better at handing out flyers than you.
﻿I've been on this street for 30 years.
﻿I've never seen anyone better at handing out flyers than me.
﻿- Yes. I'm off now. - Take care.
﻿I'm Kuwamura Midori.
﻿I look forward to working with you.
﻿Please take care of me.
﻿I'm Nozoe Atsuko.
Futaba Library Librarian
﻿You're a librarian?
﻿I used to be a bookworm.
﻿I like the atmosphere of the library.
﻿I know the feeling.
﻿I also take deep breaths in the library unconsciously.
﻿Yeah, me too.
﻿So what can I help you with today?
﻿I want you to help me
﻿investigate this man.
﻿His name is Oshimoto Tadao.
﻿He just got out of prison last week.
﻿I want to know what he's been up to since his release.
﻿What is his relationship with you?
﻿His relationship is...
﻿Relationship...
﻿Are you okay?
﻿You don't have to force yourself to say it.
﻿I'm fine.
﻿I...
﻿7 years ago,
﻿this man raped me.
﻿So
﻿I want to know
what this man ﻿is going to do now.
﻿Why do you
﻿want to investigate this man's movements?
﻿Nozoe Atsuko
﻿We had a deal.
﻿But you broke your promise to me.
﻿The accused is not to speak without permission.
﻿I will never forgive you.
﻿I will take revenge.
I am going to take revenge on you!
﻿I'll never let you go, Nozoe Atsuko!
﻿Is he really...
﻿going to take revenge on me?
﻿I'm scared every day.
﻿I'm afraid to go out.
﻿I'm sorry.
﻿I wanted to tell you calmly.
﻿Leave it to me.
﻿Thank you.
Oshimoto was released from the capital prison a week ago.
﻿If Oshimoto is planning to take revenge on Nozoe,
﻿I have to go to places where he's most likely been to.
﻿This is the home of his lawyer, Katsura Mitsuko.
﻿She was Oshimoto's defense attorney in that trial.
﻿Thank you.
﻿Why does Nozoe...
want to know where Oshimoto is going?
She is worried about Oshimoto's harsh words in the courtroom.
﻿"I will take revenge on you"?
﻿That's right.
Has Oshimoto visited you recently?
﻿He was here last week.
﻿It's been a long time, Counselor.
The victim,
﻿I'd like to offer my sincere apologies to her.
﻿I'm seeking her forgiveness.
﻿She...
﻿What kind of life is she leading now?
﻿I'm worried.
﻿My heart aches.
﻿Please tell me where she is.
﻿Please let me see her. Please, counselor.
﻿And?
﻿I refused him, of course.
﻿If he's truly repentant.
﻿He would have stayed as far away from her as possible,
﻿and live his life properly.
﻿I may have defended him, but from where I stand...
﻿I might be out of line saying this,
﻿this man Oshimoto,
﻿is really,
﻿a despicable person.
﻿He asked Nozoe to carpool with him.
﻿Nozoe agreed.
﻿He thought she was interested in him.
﻿And then...
﻿After getting out of the taxi,
﻿he attacked her.
﻿Even in court,
﻿he had no remorse.
﻿She was the one who
broke her promise to me.
﻿What did she promise?
She promised not to call the police.
﻿You threatened her with that, didn't you?
﻿I was...
﻿betrayed by her
﻿And...
﻿she was clearly
﻿happy to do it.
﻿So...
﻿where is Oshimoto now?
﻿He says he's working at a ramen shop introduced by an acquaintance.
﻿In Kanagawa.
﻿I think it's a place that takes in people who have been released from prison.
﻿I see.
﻿I'll check it out.
﻿Kuwamura-san.
﻿That man is dangerous.
﻿Please be careful.
﻿I absolutely cannot forgive
﻿despicable people
who open up old wounds.
Chinese Food
﻿Welcome.
﻿Please take a seat.
﻿Sorry to keep you waiting.
﻿Hey Kishida,
﻿I need you to do some odd jobs.
﻿- What are you looking at? - Forget it.
﻿Forget it. He's not very good at his job yet, Kishida.
﻿Give him a break.
﻿- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
﻿It's all good. Come on.
﻿Get to work.
﻿Kishida.
﻿What? Damn it.
﻿What the hell?

Futaba Library
﻿This book was very interesting
﻿The other books in this series are also very interesting, you should read them.
Hmm, I'll borrow it to read.
Please wait over there while I'll check it for you.
﻿Why would anyone treat books this way?
﻿Something might have happened while reading the book.
﻿I'll find a way to fix it.
﻿Nozoe, that's one of your really good points.
What?
﻿I'm sorry, I didn't mean it in a weird way.
﻿That's sexual harassment, right? I'm sorry.
﻿Hello, I haven't heard from you in a while. What happened?
What?
﻿He really resents the client, doesn't he?
﻿Yes
﻿We should tell the client to let the police handle it.
﻿But I don't know how far the police will go before it becomes an incident.
﻿That's all we can do for now.
I guess so.
﻿I understand.
﻿Did something happen?
﻿My friend from high school just contacted me.
﻿A guy named Kishida was asking for my contact information.
﻿I was thinking,
﻿could it be Oshimoto?
Kishida
﻿I need to ask about a police matter.
﻿- Is that okay? - Sure.
﻿A man who got out of prison might take revenge on a woman.
﻿Will the police take any action?
﻿The police might be able to patrol around the man,
﻿but in reality...
﻿it's hard to make a case based on that alone.
﻿I suppose so.
﻿Thank you.
﻿Did someone ask you about this?
﻿Oh, no, no.
﻿A friend who writes novels asked me,
"﻿What would happen in this case?"
﻿Your investigator job,
﻿would you be willing to quit?
﻿What?
﻿I'm worried.
﻿I know what you're doing is very meaningful to you.
﻿But being an investigator can be dangerous.
﻿I finally get to see you.
﻿We haven't seen each other in 3 years, 4 months and 26 days.
﻿How did you find
this place?
﻿As a top-notch detective,
﻿I was able to find my partner's place in no time.
﻿How did you...
﻿get in?
﻿All you need is money.
﻿Someone will open the door for you.
﻿What are you doing here?
﻿I love
you
from the bottom of my heart,
﻿I love you.
﻿Why don't you understand my feelings?
﻿I love you from the bottom of my heart.
﻿It's no use.
﻿You also love me from the bottom of your heart, don't you?
﻿No! Let go of me!
﻿By the way...
﻿I have good news for you today.
﻿Your photo book has been published.
﻿Although it's self-published,
it should sell well.
﻿What are you talking about?
﻿I've taken a lot of photos,
but what I don't have
are your nude photos.
﻿Perfect nude photos.
﻿Every corner of your body.
﻿Every spot on your skin.
﻿Every wrinkle.
﻿Not a single spot is spared.
﻿No matter what angle,
﻿I'll take a picture of every part of your body.
﻿And you...
totally belong to me.
﻿Come, let's shoot.
﻿I'll show your nudes to the world.
﻿You're crazy.
