It has been several months…
since I came to this town to kill that guy.
I set up a base, and got money flowing.
I even have contacts.
That guy, with every step I take, continues to get ever and ever…
further!
"OH! FORTUNE"
It's been months with no progress in my plan to kill that guy.
I haven't made a plan in the first place!
I don't even know where in Beika Town he is.
This isn't the time for me to be doing laundry!
I got carried away and washed my sheets too!
I'll find that guy!
And kill him!
FABRIC SOFTENER
Tokyo…
has so many people!
It's too late to think this, but why is it so crowded?
Wasn't Japan's population decreasing?
How do I go about finding that guy?
It'd be like winning the lottery.
My luck would have to be great.
Or I'll never find him.
A fated meeting between people can only be thanks to the gods of luck!
Only the gods…
BEIKA SHRINE
Left hand.
Right hand.
Rinse the mouth.
And rinse the handle.
The middle of the path is for the gods, so walk on the edge.
Bow twice.
Clap twice.
Please let me find that guy!
Bow once.
Nice! Now…
I'll draw my fortune to see if my luck improved!
BAD LUCK
Bad!
Give up on your wish. Dreams and hopes to be crushed.
Don't be resentful. Avoid extortion and attackers. Can't relocate.
Marriage hopeless. Make an effort. Crimes found out. Hold back.
But stuff like this is just for fun. It's unreliable.
"One hundred good deeds a day. Gather good virtue."
"If you do, life will open up."
Working all day until the crows come home!
It's "cows," Genta.
Good work, there!
Oh, uh, thanks.
Picking up trash, how admirable!
What a good person.
This town isn't all trash after all!
It does feel good, being thanked.
This is all just to kill that guy.
But if the town also gets cleaner, it's truly a win-win.
BAD LUCK
I'll kill you!
Who litters in front of someone picking up trash?!
Are all the people in this town dead inside?
What's this?
A needle?
That's dangerous! This is a school zone.
A dog could accidentally swallow something like this!
Hm? There's more.
Here, too! Why are there so many of these?
Have I just gotten further away?
From finding him.
If I just sit around the train station, I'd probably find him…
Did I waste my day?
Detective agency.
MORI DETECTIVE AGENCY
That's it!
CONTINUED IN PART B
That's it!
I should just get a detective to look!
Detectives are pros at finding people!
That's totally an option!
Nice idea! Thank the gods!
You're welcome.
Yes?
There's someone I'd like you to find.
A missing person?
Eh.
This guy's the littering culprit!
Right, so… the person that you're looking for?
Yes, he is…
a villain who litters tons of needles in the street.
That's awful.
He is a man in his 40s.
He has a mustache and a shabby suit.
Right, right.
And…
he'd look great covered in bright red blood.
I'm home!
Sorry, what were you saying?
Recently, I get so sleepy after deducting. Guess I'm getting old.
Huh? He's gone.
I could have been killed!
To think I'd run into that super strong, weirdly angular girl there!
Is this the power of fortune?
Pretty much.
How should I look for that guy?
I could ask my detective coworkers.
But they're always so busy.
Leaving early!
That mustache guy seemed free.
I give up on asking the gods. Having good virtue won't do anything.
Searching honestly is my only choice…
I found him!
TO BE CONTINUED
The time has finally come.
While taking 11 episodes to find him was a miscalculation,
the last episode will be the grand finale!
To Leon Niihama, who sang the opening theme song.
And to Mai Kuraki, who sang the emotional ending song.
And to the director who never gave up, Akitaro Daichi.
Thank you for all your work!
My dearest wish to become a culprit will come true!
Next time, "The First Target."
Here I gooo!
"THE FIRST TARGET"
