Gourmet Detective Goro Akechi (2020) s01e07 Episode Script
Episode 7
1
One, two, three, four!
Can you see the white wings
on my back?
Nobody can steal my wings.
"Cheese Ring"
"Lucifer: Devoted to Coco.
Coco is mine."
"Message from Lucifer"
Great performance.
I didn't see you
when you left today,
so look out from your window.
No way
Why?
Why does he know where my flat is?
5,821 yen.
It's in the red this month
because one customer
puts everything on his tab.
I know. I understand.
You can control your low spirits by
focusing on the numbers.
It's like transcribing a sutra.
6,156 yen.
Okay, go!
Gosh! You've messed up
my calculation!
But I guess in the end,
men are attracted to
dangerous women like Maria.
Just so you know, I got over
Mr Akechi a very long time ago.
You know, she jumped off a cliff,
and rescued Mr Akechi from a fire!
What is she, an Avenger?
I'm no match for her.
I am Mary Magdalene,
the woman who dreams
to share her last supper with you.
Until that day,
we will continue to live.
After seeing that
I forgot
that I'm just a cook.
To sum up, from now on,
you won't be Mr Akechi's assistant.
You'll be a cook.
Yes, I'll be a cook.
That means
you want to stay with him?
There is a unique reason
for you to be here.
I want to have
someone who cooks well
by my side all the time.
That's but he
Keep finding excuses and can't
get over an unrequited love,
you're the typical foolish woman!
But he
Can't you even say,
"I'll never see him again?"
But he
Welcome.
Coco!
Ichigo.
She's pretty!
Nice to meet you.
Stalker?
Coco is Ichigo's classmate
from high school,
she remembers that
Ichigo had told her about you,
so she contacted Ichigo
and said she wanted to talk to you.
Then Nigou, why are you telling me
this and not Ichigou?
Because I'm just a cook,
so I want to draw a line.
Draw a line?
Yes, draw a line.
A line between what and what?
Of course it's
Can you talk about that
another time?
We'll hold a concert next week too,
when I think about him
coming again
If you're the victim of a stalker,
you should call the police first.
They will talk to you for free.
Not the police. If I talk to them,
my parents will find out.
Parents will find out?
Coco keeps it a secret
from her parents
that she's an underground idol.
Don't you?
Most of the fans of Bakuan
are adults,
and we are like a family.
But that guy
suddenly started to come to our
concerts and events half a year ago.
He doesn't know any rules
or manners of "dol-ota"-
Too many words I don't know.
Ichigou, interpret.
Sorry, I'm stupid,
I couldn't help
No, it's okay! He's just too old.
I know what you mean, so it's fine.
But part of it is my fault.
At where I work part-time
- You're the other day's
- Eh?
You came to our concert
the other day, right?
Whoa, are you kidding me?
I didn't recognise you
when you wear glasses.
An idol is working part-time
Since that day, he's been
coming to every concert.
He waits for me to leave every time.
Last night, he even came to my home.
He probably categorises you
as something else now.
From an idol,
an unreachable angel on the stage,
to a common, angelic girl.
No way!
You're sleeping?
Good night.
The arrogant monster
is trying to tear off Coco's wings.
Her beautiful, white angel wings.
If you were to be killed tomorrow,
what would be
the last thing you eat?
"Episode 7"
What the heck is this bizarre scene?
I've heard rumours, but this?
Maybe the close distance
is what attracts people.
That being said,
being approachable is the selling
point of underground idols,
so there's a risk of
fans losing control
and turning into stalkers,
like this time.
The girls chose to be idols,
and they must continue
to feed the monsters
the sweet fruit called dreams.
All the more if she's an angel
who has white wings.
Thank you.
- I'll buy three.
- Only three? Is that enough?
You're joking!
Well
I'm not here today
as your assistant,
I feel obliged
because I introduced Coco to you,
- moreover
- Why is he here?
Mr Katono?
Mr Akechi!
Akechi!
You're a Bakuman too?
"Bakuman"?
It means a fan of Baku-on Angels.
I'm just here with Mr Katono.
Despite his appearance,
Mr Katono likes underground idols.
I don't like underground idols,
I only love Miwawa!
And I only love you, Mr Akechi!
I'm afraid I'm not familiar
with entertainment like this.
I'm Coco's classmate
back in high school,
so I invited Mr Akechi to come.
Coco?
Mr Katono, why don't you
ask her to introduce you?
Idiot! I'm only a fan!
If I pull strings,
Miwawa and I won't be
purely an idol and a fan anymore!
There's a distance between us
forever! Got it?
What's the matter?
Well
You always cheer for me, don't you?
You recognise me?
Thank you.
Actually, my friend is
Coco's high school classmate.
- What a coincidence.
- He totally wants to impress.
Wow! I feel a sense of kinship!
Your distance!
Let's go, Takahashi.
I'll go to your next concert too.
Keep up the good work.
I'm expecting you!
Dear me.
Thank you. See you.
Here.
You've come today too?
Thank you.
Coco-meow, you tweeted that
you loved desserts.
Yes How kind of you.
Well then,
thank you for coming today.
Hang on. Eat them now.
They're sold for
a limited period of time.
They're sold out in Tokyo,
so I went to Nagoya to buy them,
aren't I amazing?
Please don't do that.
Huh?
"No food souvenir allowed,"
it's written there.
Ah, I'm not just a fan.
Right, Coco-meow?
Hey.
I'd like to buy 20 CDs,
may I take 20 Instax photos?
Yes.
Oh? Is that Michelle Barron's
chestnut tarts?
I love them too.
By the way, the limited edition
can be bought at their main shop
in Ginza anytime.
Who are you?
Looking at the colour of my suit,
obviously I'm Coco's crazy fan.
Oh, you want photos?
This way, please.
Hey.
Thank you for just now.
He's the stalker, as I thought.
Thank goodness
the private detective is here!
It made us feel a bit better.
Coco, luckily your classmate is
a detective's assistant.
No! I'm not his assistant,
but a cook in the neighbourhood
Mr Akechi,
would you be my bodyguard
outside concert hours too?
He knows where I live
and where I work part-time,
he'll surely come again.
That means the whole day?
Oh, no. What should I do?
Who knows?
How about your home,
Ichigou Kobayashi?
No! Unlike your home,
my home is small.
- What about your office, then?
- Yes?
Mr Detective, please!
May I stay with her?
It's scary to be on my own.
I'm worried about Coco too.
- Hey
- I'll pay for that.
Maybe I can't pay you now,
but I'll work until I can pay you.
Mr Detective, please protect us.
All right!
Mr Akechi, this
This is the sum of how much
you've put on your tab.
So far you've bought 80 bentos,
the total cost is 52,000 yen.
The money I spent on petrol used for
your transportation is 47,190 yen.
The number of hours
I worked as your assistant
times the average hourly wage
equals to 58,300 yen,
the total sum is 157,490 yen.
This is how much you owe me, right?
Instead of paying me back,
please accept Coco's request.
Please!
- Please!
- Please!
You all got something wrong.
You think I would take the job
for just the small sum of money?
Small sum?
First of all,
I'm interested in this job
because my invaluable cook
introduced her friend to me
for her sake.
My cook knows what I like very well.
What will happen
if I make her unhappy?
What if she refuses to
cook for me again?
My stomach will be turned adrift.
So
Well, I have no other choice.
Amazing
Thank goodness
- What a relief
- Thank goodness!
Come in.
Thank you.
Look! It's so stylish!
Put your things here.
Okay
The style of this place
matches his suit perfectly!
I know! It's so like him!
Mr Akechi.
Thank you for helping Coco.
And
You said I was your invaluable cook
and I'm honoured.
I had to exaggerate it a bit,
or they wouldn't get it with
their vocabulary from another world.
Yes?
However, I said yes impulsively
just now,
there is a huge problem
if I act as their bodyguard.
Problem?
Is it inconvenient?
Your concerts are always held
at night, right at dinner time.
If I act as your bodyguard
at that time
You want me to prepare your dinner?
Now, all problems are solved.
Ladies, you must be hungry, right?
Yes
Ichigou.
I'll cook now. Wait here.
Wow!
It smells so nice!
I'm starving!
It'll be ready soon.
- Hina, don't eat too much.
- I won't!
Ichigo! I brought it here!
Thank you, Momoko!
There you go!
Our family is a real estate agency,
but we sell futons too.
Thank you
- Momoko, you'll stay for dinner?
- I've been waiting for that!
Help me.
Yes
Oh, Mr Akechi, don't go further
than the partition here.
And don't peek either.
It's like the dorm
of a girls' school.
Isn't it nice?
You must be happy
to have so many pretty girls here.
No, unfortunately I'm not interested
in little girls.
Why? You don't like
young girls like us?
Or do you like older ladies?
I give up.
What's this?
Ichigo's Special
Neapolitan Omelette.
Eat this and cheer up.
- Wow!
- It looks tasty!
Let's take a photo together.
Okay, Bakuan.
Dear me.
I'll upload it.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- All right?
- Thank you.
"Miwawa (Bakuan)"
Bon appetit
So good!
Glad you like it.
Not bad.
Yay! I got a "not bad" for
the first time after so long!
Mr Akechi always says, "Not bad,"
when he eats something delicious.
- It'll get popular!
- Will it?
- It will get popular?
- Will it?
Is there an adult
who works as your manager?
I work as our manager.
Hina founded Bakuan two years ago,
she asked me to join right after
I left Toyama for Tokyo.
Toyama? Yellowtail there is
delicious in this season.
By the way, I came from Oita
and Coco from Fukushima.
Oh? I thought you were
Ichigou Kobayashi's classmate?
I worked as a model
when I was in middle school,
and I came here during high school.
Coco was very popular.
I've seen you in magazines too!
Recently, we can finally sell
our concerts' tickets
without going to sell them
ourselves.
A quite well-known producer
will come to our next concert.
Wow! Amazing!
It feels like we're finally
a step closer to our dream.
That's why now is the critical time.
Mr Akechi, we count on you
to be Coco's bodyguard.
This is a huge responsibility.
Yes, it is! Let's do our best!
No, I mean, please do your best.
What's the matter?
The loo.
Ichigou Kobayashi,
I'm afraid your friend
has an eating disorder.
Eating disorder?
There are calluses on her knuckles.
It probably is bulimia.
She eats to take her mind off
the excessive stress,
to make up for that,
she thrusts her fingers into
her mouth to empty her stomach.
Repeating that will leave
teeth marks on her knuckles.
If calluses are formed,
it means for a long time before
she was stalked,
she's been feeling stressed out.
Actually, when she was
in high school,
she'd been hospitalised
for having lost too much weight.
Then she quit being the magazine's
exclusive model after that.
Maybe being in the limelight
puts her under severe stress.
Does it?
I'll go out for a bit.
"Lucifer"
I want to eat it with you.
Found you.
It's the guy
who came to the concert, right?
Coco.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I just can't sleep.
I've been thinking about
things like our next concert.
You must be nervous.
You need warm milk at a time
like this, with a bit of sugar too.
It'll let you sleep well.
Oh, he's out of milk! I'm so sorry.
It's fine. Thank you.
I'm so sorry.
- Somehow it's nice.
- What is?
You can't hide it from me.
Ichigo, you have a crush
on Mr Akechi.
What?
What
You and Mr Akechi are like
an old married couple.
Oh, stop it!
Oh? You're still up?
Coco can't sleep.
This is Da Vinci's
"The Last Supper" isn't it?
Yeah.
Coco, you know so much!
I love old European paintings.
There are many paintings
of angels, right?
I've been collecting them
since I joined Bakuan.
Da Vinci painted several paintings
of angels when he was young too.
I would like to see them.
Okay, Kurukku.
Da Vinci's angel paintings.
Kurukku.
- Do you mean "Annunciation"?
- This one, maybe?
This painting is found.
Dear me,
admiring a painting on smartphone?
What is this world coming to?
Mr Akechi, do you like Da Vinci too?
No, it's what the not holy,
but evil woman Maria sent me.
From all around the world.
"Mary Magdalene"
Mary Mag
Mary Magdalene.
You must be nervous
before your concert.
Have some warm milk
with a little sugar added.
Ichigou, make her some warm milk.
"Maria Magdalena"
"Search"
The blonde girl came out alone.
It's Coco, isn't it?
Bringing several girls with him?
What a playboy.
Then Shall we kill all the girls?
You don't hesitate to say
frightening things lately, Ringo.
Do I?
I didn't change though.
I just say what's on my mind
casually now.
Say what you think and carry it out.
Poor people who can't do something
so simple are everywhere.
In this world.
"Maria"
"Mary Magdalene"
What?
You hate someone so much
that you want to kill him.
Come to Maria's Room.
"Maria's Room"
"Maria's Room"
Oh, my lovely guest.
Welcome.
You're an angelic blonde girl.
Excuse me I
Don't be afraid, my angel.
Who do you want to kill?
She hung up.
Everyone does that at first.
"Akiba BOX"
"Baku-on Angels' mini album
will be on sale!"
"Staff Only"
You aren't allowed to wait
for her arrival.
I want to talk to Coco-meow.
Coco-meow hasn't been
returning home,
she hasn't been working too.
Is her manager criticising her
because of our relationship?
You should blame
the guy in the red suit!
What bad luck for Coco!
It's your fault.
We aren't famous
and we aren't popular,
but we have our pride as idols.
There's absolutely no way we'll be
in a relationship with a fan.
If you want a relationship with
an idol, find someone else.
Hey!
Hina!
Her wrist is fractured.
That's horrible!
What's wrong with him?
Why do we have to go through this?
The producer was supposed to come
and the concert was important!
Sorry, it's my fault.
No! I made a mistake.
I had no idea he was that crazy!
This is attempted murder. You'd
better report to the police at once.
No! Don't tell the police.
If my parents find out,
they'll take me back to Oita.
But he almost killed you!
Ichigou Kobayashi,
report it to the police.
Wait a minute!
We promised each other
that we would stand on
Budokan's stage together.
We've given up many things we enjoy
for that dream.
We work several part-time jobs too.
Hina has borrowed several
hundred thousand yen for Bakuan.
Miwa turned down a major idol group
and risks her career on Bakuan.
We cannot give up now!
Which one is more important,
your life or your dream?
No matter how important your dream
is, it's pointless if you're dead!
And my life is pointless
if I'm not an idol!
I envy you, Ichigo.
Even if your bento food truck
business fails,
you can take over
your family's bento business.
But we can't do that.
If this fails, our life is over.
He might hurt you this time.
I'll be fine.
Please don't report it
to the police.
"Maria's Room"
"Calling"
My angel, I'm happy
you've come to visit again.
- I
- The arrogant monster
loves your white wings very much,
doesn't he?
You must get rid of him at once,
or your wings will be torn off.
If that happens,
you'll never be able to fly again.
Why
I walked past her room
in the hospital
and heard your conversation
by chance.
Come, let's kill him,
so that you can shine on stage.
You're an angel
who can make many people smile.
Isn't it unforgivable
that you and your friends' dream is
ruined because of one monster?
My sweet angel.
Let's use the way
that pleases him most
to take him to heaven.
You want to cook, Coco?
What a surprise.
You burnt the rolled omelette
during our cooking class.
Well, I'm here with you anyway
Coco
You know,
actually, when I saw you working
hard as a model in high school,
I thought, I wanted to
open a restaurant myself.
You're joking!
I don't understand
the world of idols,
but I hope you can hang in there.
Thank you, Ichigo.
Hey.
What do we have for lunch today?
Sorry, but this is the Neapolitan
Omelette we'll have for dinner.
But we had it the other day.
Hina wants to have this.
She'll be discharged today.
I see.
But Ichigou Kobayashi,
your regular customer is hungry,
fry the Chikuwa for lunch first.
Buy the Chikuwa yourself then.
I didn't buy any ingredient for
bentos today.
Pardon?
Why?
Is this
Can you get changed?
Is he keeping an eye on you?
I'm at your flat now.
He's scary!
It escalated.
All right
Will Coco come to our side?
Don't you understand
how she feels more than me?
I want to tell Coco
that just by killing
the person she wants to kill
is going to set her heart free.
That's right.
And in this city, there are still
many people that should be killed.
Ms Maria.
Ringo,
have you brought the delicious
Aomori souvenir I asked for?
Yes.
It'll be damaged easily
if it isn't processed.
I've got some
good Spanish olive oil,
so I soaked it in oil.
She will deliver it to Coco later.
"She"?
You mean her?
Yeah.
Yeah?
She will?
How amusing!
It's the first time
I have so much fun with my family!
Hina, congratulations on
your hospital discharge!
Congratulations!
Coco, Miwa, I'm sorry.
I got injured when it matters most.
Hina, it isn't your fault.
It's all that person's fault.
Okay, let's dig in!
Coco helped me cook
the dishes tonight!
What? But Coco can't cook at all!
Amazing
I've prepared the perfect wine
for the rookie cook.
The injured will have grape juice.
Grape juice.
My love,
are you also having dinner now?
Surrounded by the lovely angels.
The dinner must be pretty enjoyable.
But be careful, Mr Detective.
Let's take a photo. One, two
Among them,
there is one fallen angel.
- Neapolitan!
- Dear me,
- So good!
- what a noisy dinner.
Come on, stop taking photos
and eat now.
Okay
- Is that okay?
- Yeah.
I want to have wine now!
I'll put it in front of the entrance
at 2:00 am.
I'll treat you to fine wine
when it's cured.
- Yay!
- I want that!
I want to drink that too.
- You can't drink yet.
- Why?
"Edogawa Detective Office"
My sweet angel,
Protect the paradise
with your own hands.
Come on! Get up, girls!
Today is the red-letter day you hold
your comeback concert. Come on!
Oh?
Where's Coco?
Oh, it's from Coco.
She'll take something from her flat
and go to the club.
Oh, thank goodness!
But she left alone?
Call her.
Mr Akechi?
Why did you go out
without telling us?
I'm sorry,
I should have told you, Mr Akechi.
I'll return
by the time of our concert.
Beautiful Lady Maria,
can you see the wings on my back?
As you told me,
I will go get rid of the monster
as an angel.
Coco-meow!
Coco-meow!
Coco-meow?
Sorry I called you out suddenly.
I was worried,
you didn't reply to my messages at
all and you haven't come home.
I wasn't feeling well,
so I was staying at my friend's.
Your friend?
You haven't had lunch, have you?
I made this as an apology.
I'm not good at cooking,
so maybe it doesn't taste very good.
But I put lots of effort into
making this, please try it.
Wow Really?
Wow, it looks absolutely delicious!
Bon appetit.
You won't eat it?
Coco-meow, is the red suit guy's
home the place you stayed at?
Why?
You've been cold to me
since that guy came.
Did you make this
because you feel guilty towards me?
Why would I?
Or is it poisoned?
You won't eat it?
Is it poisoned?
I made so much effort to
cook for you, Mr Lucifer
Oh, I'm sorry!
It was partly my fault too.
I felt lonely because I couldn't
get a hold of you,
so I couldn't help
Let's make up now.
Coco-meow,
I won't make you cry again.
Thank you.
Try it.
Open up.
So good! It's really delicious!
It tastes like you.
Well, I'll send you messages again.
Coco-meow.
I will treasure you,
so quit being an idol
and be my girlfriend.
Thank you.
Mr Lucifer
Please make me happy.
Well, do your best
at your last concert.
It'll be the last time
you see me perform too,
I'll do my best.
Thank goodness you're okay, Coco.
That guy hasn't come yet.
Mr Akechi is watching outside.
Thank goodness.
Coco?
I guess he won't come today.
He made Hina injured,
a normal person
wouldn't dare to come.
I don't think he's normal, though.
Isn't the vibe Coco giving off
different from usual?
Mr Akechi, it's the stalker!
Wait, we're still rehearsing!
Hina!
I'm Bakuan's Fallen Angel,
Coco.
Coco-meow
Can you see the wings on my back?
Nobody can steal them.
I'm going to fly in the sky
with this pair of wings!
Today, the Fallen Angel
will exile the arrogant monster
from paradise!
I was an angel held captive,
and the heart of my true self
is set free now!
Coco?
I can be myself!
Don't tell me
You're the one who set me free.
You said I could be myself.
Maria!
The killing angel alighted.
Are you okay?
Call an ambulance!
Using the way that pleases
the arrogant monster most,
she got rid of him.
Hey, Akechi! What happened?
Today's concert is cancelled!
Don't let the audience in!
Why do you cancel it yourself?
This is
Send his vomit to forensics!
What? Is he poisoned?
"Tokyo Fire Department"
Mr Tabata!
Mr Tabata, can you hear me?
Coco
The matter became serious.
Yes, it did
Maria,
you're even bringing
my precious friend to your side?
Why didn't I realise earlier?
I should've been able to realise.
Hey, Akechi.
- He's been treated?
- Wait.
I can't let you go freely.
Mr Katono.
Why did you think
the man was poisoned?
You'll tell me that in detail.
It's the first floor
of the North Block.
Maria's target is finally
The bento shop's young lady.
Move in with me.
Tell him your feelings honestly.
All Maria Family members gather.
Because you don't leave him an inch.
Whose love will Akechi choose?
No, Mr Akechi!
I love you!
One, two, three, four!
Can you see the white wings
on my back?
Nobody can steal my wings.
"Cheese Ring"
"Lucifer: Devoted to Coco.
Coco is mine."
"Message from Lucifer"
Great performance.
I didn't see you
when you left today,
so look out from your window.
No way
Why?
Why does he know where my flat is?
5,821 yen.
It's in the red this month
because one customer
puts everything on his tab.
I know. I understand.
You can control your low spirits by
focusing on the numbers.
It's like transcribing a sutra.
6,156 yen.
Okay, go!
Gosh! You've messed up
my calculation!
But I guess in the end,
men are attracted to
dangerous women like Maria.
Just so you know, I got over
Mr Akechi a very long time ago.
You know, she jumped off a cliff,
and rescued Mr Akechi from a fire!
What is she, an Avenger?
I'm no match for her.
I am Mary Magdalene,
the woman who dreams
to share her last supper with you.
Until that day,
we will continue to live.
After seeing that
I forgot
that I'm just a cook.
To sum up, from now on,
you won't be Mr Akechi's assistant.
You'll be a cook.
Yes, I'll be a cook.
That means
you want to stay with him?
There is a unique reason
for you to be here.
I want to have
someone who cooks well
by my side all the time.
That's but he
Keep finding excuses and can't
get over an unrequited love,
you're the typical foolish woman!
But he
Can't you even say,
"I'll never see him again?"
But he
Welcome.
Coco!
Ichigo.
She's pretty!
Nice to meet you.
Stalker?
Coco is Ichigo's classmate
from high school,
she remembers that
Ichigo had told her about you,
so she contacted Ichigo
and said she wanted to talk to you.
Then Nigou, why are you telling me
this and not Ichigou?
Because I'm just a cook,
so I want to draw a line.
Draw a line?
Yes, draw a line.
A line between what and what?
Of course it's
Can you talk about that
another time?
We'll hold a concert next week too,
when I think about him
coming again
If you're the victim of a stalker,
you should call the police first.
They will talk to you for free.
Not the police. If I talk to them,
my parents will find out.
Parents will find out?
Coco keeps it a secret
from her parents
that she's an underground idol.
Don't you?
Most of the fans of Bakuan
are adults,
and we are like a family.
But that guy
suddenly started to come to our
concerts and events half a year ago.
He doesn't know any rules
or manners of "dol-ota"-
Too many words I don't know.
Ichigou, interpret.
Sorry, I'm stupid,
I couldn't help
No, it's okay! He's just too old.
I know what you mean, so it's fine.
But part of it is my fault.
At where I work part-time
- You're the other day's
- Eh?
You came to our concert
the other day, right?
Whoa, are you kidding me?
I didn't recognise you
when you wear glasses.
An idol is working part-time
Since that day, he's been
coming to every concert.
He waits for me to leave every time.
Last night, he even came to my home.
He probably categorises you
as something else now.
From an idol,
an unreachable angel on the stage,
to a common, angelic girl.
No way!
You're sleeping?
Good night.
The arrogant monster
is trying to tear off Coco's wings.
Her beautiful, white angel wings.
If you were to be killed tomorrow,
what would be
the last thing you eat?
"Episode 7"
What the heck is this bizarre scene?
I've heard rumours, but this?
Maybe the close distance
is what attracts people.
That being said,
being approachable is the selling
point of underground idols,
so there's a risk of
fans losing control
and turning into stalkers,
like this time.
The girls chose to be idols,
and they must continue
to feed the monsters
the sweet fruit called dreams.
All the more if she's an angel
who has white wings.
Thank you.
- I'll buy three.
- Only three? Is that enough?
You're joking!
Well
I'm not here today
as your assistant,
I feel obliged
because I introduced Coco to you,
- moreover
- Why is he here?
Mr Katono?
Mr Akechi!
Akechi!
You're a Bakuman too?
"Bakuman"?
It means a fan of Baku-on Angels.
I'm just here with Mr Katono.
Despite his appearance,
Mr Katono likes underground idols.
I don't like underground idols,
I only love Miwawa!
And I only love you, Mr Akechi!
I'm afraid I'm not familiar
with entertainment like this.
I'm Coco's classmate
back in high school,
so I invited Mr Akechi to come.
Coco?
Mr Katono, why don't you
ask her to introduce you?
Idiot! I'm only a fan!
If I pull strings,
Miwawa and I won't be
purely an idol and a fan anymore!
There's a distance between us
forever! Got it?
What's the matter?
Well
You always cheer for me, don't you?
You recognise me?
Thank you.
Actually, my friend is
Coco's high school classmate.
- What a coincidence.
- He totally wants to impress.
Wow! I feel a sense of kinship!
Your distance!
Let's go, Takahashi.
I'll go to your next concert too.
Keep up the good work.
I'm expecting you!
Dear me.
Thank you. See you.
Here.
You've come today too?
Thank you.
Coco-meow, you tweeted that
you loved desserts.
Yes How kind of you.
Well then,
thank you for coming today.
Hang on. Eat them now.
They're sold for
a limited period of time.
They're sold out in Tokyo,
so I went to Nagoya to buy them,
aren't I amazing?
Please don't do that.
Huh?
"No food souvenir allowed,"
it's written there.
Ah, I'm not just a fan.
Right, Coco-meow?
Hey.
I'd like to buy 20 CDs,
may I take 20 Instax photos?
Yes.
Oh? Is that Michelle Barron's
chestnut tarts?
I love them too.
By the way, the limited edition
can be bought at their main shop
in Ginza anytime.
Who are you?
Looking at the colour of my suit,
obviously I'm Coco's crazy fan.
Oh, you want photos?
This way, please.
Hey.
Thank you for just now.
He's the stalker, as I thought.
Thank goodness
the private detective is here!
It made us feel a bit better.
Coco, luckily your classmate is
a detective's assistant.
No! I'm not his assistant,
but a cook in the neighbourhood
Mr Akechi,
would you be my bodyguard
outside concert hours too?
He knows where I live
and where I work part-time,
he'll surely come again.
That means the whole day?
Oh, no. What should I do?
Who knows?
How about your home,
Ichigou Kobayashi?
No! Unlike your home,
my home is small.
- What about your office, then?
- Yes?
Mr Detective, please!
May I stay with her?
It's scary to be on my own.
I'm worried about Coco too.
- Hey
- I'll pay for that.
Maybe I can't pay you now,
but I'll work until I can pay you.
Mr Detective, please protect us.
All right!
Mr Akechi, this
This is the sum of how much
you've put on your tab.
So far you've bought 80 bentos,
the total cost is 52,000 yen.
The money I spent on petrol used for
your transportation is 47,190 yen.
The number of hours
I worked as your assistant
times the average hourly wage
equals to 58,300 yen,
the total sum is 157,490 yen.
This is how much you owe me, right?
Instead of paying me back,
please accept Coco's request.
Please!
- Please!
- Please!
You all got something wrong.
You think I would take the job
for just the small sum of money?
Small sum?
First of all,
I'm interested in this job
because my invaluable cook
introduced her friend to me
for her sake.
My cook knows what I like very well.
What will happen
if I make her unhappy?
What if she refuses to
cook for me again?
My stomach will be turned adrift.
So
Well, I have no other choice.
Amazing
Thank goodness
- What a relief
- Thank goodness!
Come in.
Thank you.
Look! It's so stylish!
Put your things here.
Okay
The style of this place
matches his suit perfectly!
I know! It's so like him!
Mr Akechi.
Thank you for helping Coco.
And
You said I was your invaluable cook
and I'm honoured.
I had to exaggerate it a bit,
or they wouldn't get it with
their vocabulary from another world.
Yes?
However, I said yes impulsively
just now,
there is a huge problem
if I act as their bodyguard.
Problem?
Is it inconvenient?
Your concerts are always held
at night, right at dinner time.
If I act as your bodyguard
at that time
You want me to prepare your dinner?
Now, all problems are solved.
Ladies, you must be hungry, right?
Yes
Ichigou.
I'll cook now. Wait here.
Wow!
It smells so nice!
I'm starving!
It'll be ready soon.
- Hina, don't eat too much.
- I won't!
Ichigo! I brought it here!
Thank you, Momoko!
There you go!
Our family is a real estate agency,
but we sell futons too.
Thank you
- Momoko, you'll stay for dinner?
- I've been waiting for that!
Help me.
Yes
Oh, Mr Akechi, don't go further
than the partition here.
And don't peek either.
It's like the dorm
of a girls' school.
Isn't it nice?
You must be happy
to have so many pretty girls here.
No, unfortunately I'm not interested
in little girls.
Why? You don't like
young girls like us?
Or do you like older ladies?
I give up.
What's this?
Ichigo's Special
Neapolitan Omelette.
Eat this and cheer up.
- Wow!
- It looks tasty!
Let's take a photo together.
Okay, Bakuan.
Dear me.
I'll upload it.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- All right?
- Thank you.
"Miwawa (Bakuan)"
Bon appetit
So good!
Glad you like it.
Not bad.
Yay! I got a "not bad" for
the first time after so long!
Mr Akechi always says, "Not bad,"
when he eats something delicious.
- It'll get popular!
- Will it?
- It will get popular?
- Will it?
Is there an adult
who works as your manager?
I work as our manager.
Hina founded Bakuan two years ago,
she asked me to join right after
I left Toyama for Tokyo.
Toyama? Yellowtail there is
delicious in this season.
By the way, I came from Oita
and Coco from Fukushima.
Oh? I thought you were
Ichigou Kobayashi's classmate?
I worked as a model
when I was in middle school,
and I came here during high school.
Coco was very popular.
I've seen you in magazines too!
Recently, we can finally sell
our concerts' tickets
without going to sell them
ourselves.
A quite well-known producer
will come to our next concert.
Wow! Amazing!
It feels like we're finally
a step closer to our dream.
That's why now is the critical time.
Mr Akechi, we count on you
to be Coco's bodyguard.
This is a huge responsibility.
Yes, it is! Let's do our best!
No, I mean, please do your best.
What's the matter?
The loo.
Ichigou Kobayashi,
I'm afraid your friend
has an eating disorder.
Eating disorder?
There are calluses on her knuckles.
It probably is bulimia.
She eats to take her mind off
the excessive stress,
to make up for that,
she thrusts her fingers into
her mouth to empty her stomach.
Repeating that will leave
teeth marks on her knuckles.
If calluses are formed,
it means for a long time before
she was stalked,
she's been feeling stressed out.
Actually, when she was
in high school,
she'd been hospitalised
for having lost too much weight.
Then she quit being the magazine's
exclusive model after that.
Maybe being in the limelight
puts her under severe stress.
Does it?
I'll go out for a bit.
"Lucifer"
I want to eat it with you.
Found you.
It's the guy
who came to the concert, right?
Coco.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I just can't sleep.
I've been thinking about
things like our next concert.
You must be nervous.
You need warm milk at a time
like this, with a bit of sugar too.
It'll let you sleep well.
Oh, he's out of milk! I'm so sorry.
It's fine. Thank you.
I'm so sorry.
- Somehow it's nice.
- What is?
You can't hide it from me.
Ichigo, you have a crush
on Mr Akechi.
What?
What
You and Mr Akechi are like
an old married couple.
Oh, stop it!
Oh? You're still up?
Coco can't sleep.
This is Da Vinci's
"The Last Supper" isn't it?
Yeah.
Coco, you know so much!
I love old European paintings.
There are many paintings
of angels, right?
I've been collecting them
since I joined Bakuan.
Da Vinci painted several paintings
of angels when he was young too.
I would like to see them.
Okay, Kurukku.
Da Vinci's angel paintings.
Kurukku.
- Do you mean "Annunciation"?
- This one, maybe?
This painting is found.
Dear me,
admiring a painting on smartphone?
What is this world coming to?
Mr Akechi, do you like Da Vinci too?
No, it's what the not holy,
but evil woman Maria sent me.
From all around the world.
"Mary Magdalene"
Mary Mag
Mary Magdalene.
You must be nervous
before your concert.
Have some warm milk
with a little sugar added.
Ichigou, make her some warm milk.
"Maria Magdalena"
"Search"
The blonde girl came out alone.
It's Coco, isn't it?
Bringing several girls with him?
What a playboy.
Then Shall we kill all the girls?
You don't hesitate to say
frightening things lately, Ringo.
Do I?
I didn't change though.
I just say what's on my mind
casually now.
Say what you think and carry it out.
Poor people who can't do something
so simple are everywhere.
In this world.
"Maria"
"Mary Magdalene"
What?
You hate someone so much
that you want to kill him.
Come to Maria's Room.
"Maria's Room"
"Maria's Room"
Oh, my lovely guest.
Welcome.
You're an angelic blonde girl.
Excuse me I
Don't be afraid, my angel.
Who do you want to kill?
She hung up.
Everyone does that at first.
"Akiba BOX"
"Baku-on Angels' mini album
will be on sale!"
"Staff Only"
You aren't allowed to wait
for her arrival.
I want to talk to Coco-meow.
Coco-meow hasn't been
returning home,
she hasn't been working too.
Is her manager criticising her
because of our relationship?
You should blame
the guy in the red suit!
What bad luck for Coco!
It's your fault.
We aren't famous
and we aren't popular,
but we have our pride as idols.
There's absolutely no way we'll be
in a relationship with a fan.
If you want a relationship with
an idol, find someone else.
Hey!
Hina!
Her wrist is fractured.
That's horrible!
What's wrong with him?
Why do we have to go through this?
The producer was supposed to come
and the concert was important!
Sorry, it's my fault.
No! I made a mistake.
I had no idea he was that crazy!
This is attempted murder. You'd
better report to the police at once.
No! Don't tell the police.
If my parents find out,
they'll take me back to Oita.
But he almost killed you!
Ichigou Kobayashi,
report it to the police.
Wait a minute!
We promised each other
that we would stand on
Budokan's stage together.
We've given up many things we enjoy
for that dream.
We work several part-time jobs too.
Hina has borrowed several
hundred thousand yen for Bakuan.
Miwa turned down a major idol group
and risks her career on Bakuan.
We cannot give up now!
Which one is more important,
your life or your dream?
No matter how important your dream
is, it's pointless if you're dead!
And my life is pointless
if I'm not an idol!
I envy you, Ichigo.
Even if your bento food truck
business fails,
you can take over
your family's bento business.
But we can't do that.
If this fails, our life is over.
He might hurt you this time.
I'll be fine.
Please don't report it
to the police.
"Maria's Room"
"Calling"
My angel, I'm happy
you've come to visit again.
- I
- The arrogant monster
loves your white wings very much,
doesn't he?
You must get rid of him at once,
or your wings will be torn off.
If that happens,
you'll never be able to fly again.
Why
I walked past her room
in the hospital
and heard your conversation
by chance.
Come, let's kill him,
so that you can shine on stage.
You're an angel
who can make many people smile.
Isn't it unforgivable
that you and your friends' dream is
ruined because of one monster?
My sweet angel.
Let's use the way
that pleases him most
to take him to heaven.
You want to cook, Coco?
What a surprise.
You burnt the rolled omelette
during our cooking class.
Well, I'm here with you anyway
Coco
You know,
actually, when I saw you working
hard as a model in high school,
I thought, I wanted to
open a restaurant myself.
You're joking!
I don't understand
the world of idols,
but I hope you can hang in there.
Thank you, Ichigo.
Hey.
What do we have for lunch today?
Sorry, but this is the Neapolitan
Omelette we'll have for dinner.
But we had it the other day.
Hina wants to have this.
She'll be discharged today.
I see.
But Ichigou Kobayashi,
your regular customer is hungry,
fry the Chikuwa for lunch first.
Buy the Chikuwa yourself then.
I didn't buy any ingredient for
bentos today.
Pardon?
Why?
Is this
Can you get changed?
Is he keeping an eye on you?
I'm at your flat now.
He's scary!
It escalated.
All right
Will Coco come to our side?
Don't you understand
how she feels more than me?
I want to tell Coco
that just by killing
the person she wants to kill
is going to set her heart free.
That's right.
And in this city, there are still
many people that should be killed.
Ms Maria.
Ringo,
have you brought the delicious
Aomori souvenir I asked for?
Yes.
It'll be damaged easily
if it isn't processed.
I've got some
good Spanish olive oil,
so I soaked it in oil.
She will deliver it to Coco later.
"She"?
You mean her?
Yeah.
Yeah?
She will?
How amusing!
It's the first time
I have so much fun with my family!
Hina, congratulations on
your hospital discharge!
Congratulations!
Coco, Miwa, I'm sorry.
I got injured when it matters most.
Hina, it isn't your fault.
It's all that person's fault.
Okay, let's dig in!
Coco helped me cook
the dishes tonight!
What? But Coco can't cook at all!
Amazing
I've prepared the perfect wine
for the rookie cook.
The injured will have grape juice.
Grape juice.
My love,
are you also having dinner now?
Surrounded by the lovely angels.
The dinner must be pretty enjoyable.
But be careful, Mr Detective.
Let's take a photo. One, two
Among them,
there is one fallen angel.
- Neapolitan!
- Dear me,
- So good!
- what a noisy dinner.
Come on, stop taking photos
and eat now.
Okay
- Is that okay?
- Yeah.
I want to have wine now!
I'll put it in front of the entrance
at 2:00 am.
I'll treat you to fine wine
when it's cured.
- Yay!
- I want that!
I want to drink that too.
- You can't drink yet.
- Why?
"Edogawa Detective Office"
My sweet angel,
Protect the paradise
with your own hands.
Come on! Get up, girls!
Today is the red-letter day you hold
your comeback concert. Come on!
Oh?
Where's Coco?
Oh, it's from Coco.
She'll take something from her flat
and go to the club.
Oh, thank goodness!
But she left alone?
Call her.
Mr Akechi?
Why did you go out
without telling us?
I'm sorry,
I should have told you, Mr Akechi.
I'll return
by the time of our concert.
Beautiful Lady Maria,
can you see the wings on my back?
As you told me,
I will go get rid of the monster
as an angel.
Coco-meow!
Coco-meow!
Coco-meow?
Sorry I called you out suddenly.
I was worried,
you didn't reply to my messages at
all and you haven't come home.
I wasn't feeling well,
so I was staying at my friend's.
Your friend?
You haven't had lunch, have you?
I made this as an apology.
I'm not good at cooking,
so maybe it doesn't taste very good.
But I put lots of effort into
making this, please try it.
Wow Really?
Wow, it looks absolutely delicious!
Bon appetit.
You won't eat it?
Coco-meow, is the red suit guy's
home the place you stayed at?
Why?
You've been cold to me
since that guy came.
Did you make this
because you feel guilty towards me?
Why would I?
Or is it poisoned?
You won't eat it?
Is it poisoned?
I made so much effort to
cook for you, Mr Lucifer
Oh, I'm sorry!
It was partly my fault too.
I felt lonely because I couldn't
get a hold of you,
so I couldn't help
Let's make up now.
Coco-meow,
I won't make you cry again.
Thank you.
Try it.
Open up.
So good! It's really delicious!
It tastes like you.
Well, I'll send you messages again.
Coco-meow.
I will treasure you,
so quit being an idol
and be my girlfriend.
Thank you.
Mr Lucifer
Please make me happy.
Well, do your best
at your last concert.
It'll be the last time
you see me perform too,
I'll do my best.
Thank goodness you're okay, Coco.
That guy hasn't come yet.
Mr Akechi is watching outside.
Thank goodness.
Coco?
I guess he won't come today.
He made Hina injured,
a normal person
wouldn't dare to come.
I don't think he's normal, though.
Isn't the vibe Coco giving off
different from usual?
Mr Akechi, it's the stalker!
Wait, we're still rehearsing!
Hina!
I'm Bakuan's Fallen Angel,
Coco.
Coco-meow
Can you see the wings on my back?
Nobody can steal them.
I'm going to fly in the sky
with this pair of wings!
Today, the Fallen Angel
will exile the arrogant monster
from paradise!
I was an angel held captive,
and the heart of my true self
is set free now!
Coco?
I can be myself!
Don't tell me
You're the one who set me free.
You said I could be myself.
Maria!
The killing angel alighted.
Are you okay?
Call an ambulance!
Using the way that pleases
the arrogant monster most,
she got rid of him.
Hey, Akechi! What happened?
Today's concert is cancelled!
Don't let the audience in!
Why do you cancel it yourself?
This is
Send his vomit to forensics!
What? Is he poisoned?
"Tokyo Fire Department"
Mr Tabata!
Mr Tabata, can you hear me?
Coco
The matter became serious.
Yes, it did
Maria,
you're even bringing
my precious friend to your side?
Why didn't I realise earlier?
I should've been able to realise.
Hey, Akechi.
- He's been treated?
- Wait.
I can't let you go freely.
Mr Katono.
Why did you think
the man was poisoned?
You'll tell me that in detail.
It's the first floor
of the North Block.
Maria's target is finally
The bento shop's young lady.
Move in with me.
Tell him your feelings honestly.
All Maria Family members gather.
Because you don't leave him an inch.
Whose love will Akechi choose?
No, Mr Akechi!
I love you!
