Anniversary to Become a Family
Welcome to the Velvet Room.
You have obtained the Fortune Arcana with your new bond.
You are truly beautiful as you acquire new powers one after the next.
Only another heart can penetrate into the universe of one's heart.
The answer Narukami Yu, is if you multiply it by Margaret.
Our hearts will- Oops, I forgot to multiply myself by something.
I was merely testing your level of understanding.
Congratulations, you passed.
Hide and seek, it wants to play again.
Like a detective, I won't let it get away.
Its constantly costuming with loads of fake.
I will strip-search if I have to.
No Iâm not afraid to know it no, no, no.
I am so determined.
To chase after what's hidden, and seize this day, this moment.
Wanna know! And I keep accelerate.
Wanna go! Ignition, turned on.
Its both the time to drive to truth.
Wanna seize! Stranger than any movies.
Wanna seize! Ignorance is not bliss.
They say that truth will out! Can't keep on hiding.
There's no turning back now! I'm gonna go on, I'm gonna go get what I want! I'm back! I'm the unlucky ninja, Experiment-kun! Here, Nanako.
Thanks, Daddy.
You drink coffee, don't you? Thanks.
Don't worry about it.
When I got married, I promised Nanako's Mum that I would prepare the coffee.
It's become a bit of a habit.
It's good.
Drink up while it's still hot.
Thank you for the coffee.
Daddy, read to me.
Sure, which book would you like? This one! Book: Jack and the Beanstalk Just a second! It's Doujima.
What?! Okay, I'm on my way.
Sorry, but I've got work.
I might not make it back today.
I understand.
Take care A hit-and-run near Samegawa, huh? Come to think of it, didn't your wife pass away in a car accident? What's wrong, Onii-chan? I need a bandage.
Oh, it's a picture of Mum! It's from when we went to Samegawa! So this is where it was all the time.
What do you mean? You see, Daddy put away all of our pictures of Mum.
What? He did that right after she died in a "car accident".
I don't know much about it since Daddy won't tell me anything.
Do you think he'd get angry if I kept this picture? I'll ask him for you.
Okay, thanks! I feel sorry for Daddy since he lost Mum Yeah I love Daddy! I'm sure he feels the same.
Yup! I think so, too! Uh, umm What is it? I love you too, Onii-chan.
Why did God have to create tests? Who cares? Let's get to work already.
Hanamura, I want a melon soda.
Then go buy one! Please! Get it and I'll let you borrow my notes which I copied from Yukiko.
Are you serious?! Hey, couldn't I just borrow them from Amagi? She has better penmanship.
I was so close! Guys! Hey! Huh? Nanako-chan's with you today? She made plans with Kuma.
I've been waiting, Nana-chan! A beary good day to you! And a beary good day to you! Nana-chan, let's go on a date! Yeah! Onii-chan, good luck! I'll give you a present if you get the highest test score.
Okay.
I'm looking forward to it.
Let's go, Nana-chan! Man, I'm so jealous of Kuma at times like this! That's enough complaining.
Let's start off with trigonometric identities.
The real you? Exactly! You see, I still don't know who I really am.
My memories start with me living in that other world, not here.
I think I was probably something special.
And just when things started getting weird, I ran into Sensei and the others and asked for their help.
Then I came to this world.
Oh, could you follow all that? You know, I bet you're a king! I read in a book that a bad guy cursed the king, so that he had to wander through the forest all alone.
Now that you mention it, that seems about right I hope you break the spell soon, Kuma-san! Thank you, Nana-chan! What are those two talking about? Beats me Who cares as long as they're having fun? I'm back Um What is it? I stumbled upon this.
Nanako was delighted when she saw it, so could we leave it out? I think you know her better than I do.
It's up to you.
Daddy, you're back! What is it, Nanako? Well, Daddy, um Today at school, I got a Nanako? My tummy really hurts.
Are you okay? Was it something you ate? The bottom of my tummy feels all prickly.
What? G-Get an ambulance! No, wait Hasn't this happened before? Does it feel like then? I'm not sure.
This bites I think I put that medicine Damn it! Why now of all times?! Hey, it's Doujima.
Adachi? I'm hanging up.
Huh? A sealed letter? For me? Is it from Ichihara-san? When did it arrive? You forgot about it?! Of all the stupid! I'm on my way.
Daddy I'm heading out.
Yu, there should be some medicine in the emergency aid kit.
Take care of her.
Huh? But- The child penguin, Pen-Pen, overcame great hardships to return home.
Are you okay, Nanako? Yeah A touching reunion with his real father was waiting for him when he got back! Hey, Onii-chan Is Daddy my real father? Huh? I was thinking that maybe I'm not Daddy's real daughter.
Why's that? Because Daddy cares about the bad guys more than he does about me.
Just today he rushed out and left me behind.
What's this? They passed it out at school today.
The teacher told us to give it to our parents.
As such, we would appreciate it if everyone could come and watch their children learn and grow.
Now then, from 10/24(Mon.
) to 10/26(Wed.
), we plan on holding Classroom Observation Days.
We hope that all of the parents/guardians enjoy themselves throughout fall.
We appreciate your understanding and support in our upcoming educational events.
Dear Parents/Guardians, About Classroom Observation Time; choose what day works best for you.
They said to put down when they can come.
But Daddy has work, so he couldn't go, huh? Let's ask him when he gets back.
Okay, let's do it! I'm going to bed! Good night.
Good night.
Idiot! "I don't know" doesn't cut it.
It's a detective's job to look into it until we solve the case! I-I'm sorry Adachi-san! Huh? Yu-kun? Where's my uncle? Oh, Doujima-san should be back in a second.
Just wait there.
Thank you.
Man, Doujima-san never lets up, does he? Is he like that at home, too? What do you mean? He isn't convinced that the kid's the serial killer, so he's researching it out on his own.
On top of that, he's going nuts over the recent hit-and-run accident.
Uh-oh! Gotta get back to work.
Oh, Yu? Here's the change of clothes you asked for.
Right, thanks.
And there's this.
It's from Nanako.
What is it? A form about observing her in class.
They need to know when you could make it.
Oh, whenever.
I'll fill it out later.
Will you be coming home tonight? Probably not How is Nanako doing? She's all better now.
But But what? No, it's nothing Do you have a minute? Thanks for waiting.
I haven't eaten since lunch.
There's two orders for takeout.
Thanks.
I've been meaning to tell you about Chisato's accident.
What's this? Last night I got a call from my senior, Ichihara-san.
I asked for his help on a hit-and-run and his results just came in.
Take a look.
It was a white sedan, probably a large American car.
There weren't any cars like that around here.
Records indicate that it wasn't taken in to get scrapped or repaired.
But you see, there was a similar accident last week.
The initial investigation we're currently conducting is critical.
Why haven't you told Nanako anything about the accident? Chisato-! Chisato was hit on her way to pick up Nanako.
It was a cold day and there weren't any witnesses, so no one found her until it was too late.
By the time word reached me, Nanako had been stuck waiting at the pre-school all by herself.
She was all alone, waiting for someone who would never come I couldn't tell Nanako that she had been killed.
It's her father's job to catch criminals, and I don't have a single lead.
But I will catch the culprit! Even if it means making Nanako cry? What do you mean? I think you should stay with Nanako when she's sick- What would you know? Mind your own business! Very well.
Onii-chan, where's that paper? Did Daddy fill in the form? Yeah, he said whenever would be fine.
Really?! Daddy's going to come? Yay, I'm so happy! Isn't that great, Nanako? Yep! This is my first Classroom Observation! Everyone says their parents are coming! Oh, yeah! I framed that picture we found yesterday.
Thank you! Say, Onii-chan? What happens after you die? You go to a place called Heaven.
I knew it! So Mum went to Heaven, right? I'm sure she'll be watching over you during your classroom observation time.
Yeah! Do you think I'll go to Heaven when I die? Could I see Mum if I went there? That's a long way off.
I see I want to see Mum Knowledge Professor Expression Touching Courage Heroic Understanding Saintly Diligence Strong Knowledge Professor Expression Touching Diligence Strong Understanding Saintly Courage Heroic There was an accident around Samegawa about a year ago.
Could you look into it? Finding old newspaper articles on it should be a easy.
This must be it.
The hit-and-run incident in Inaba.
As such, they have not received any useful witness reports.
Police are viewing the case as a hit-and-run as they conduct their investigations.
It is clear they are increasing efforts to obtain information needed to apprehend the culprit.
With an officer in the family, the police are working with all due haste.
The officers are conducting a thorough investigation in an attempt to get the story in fuller detail.
There were few people around when it occurred, Her entire body was terribly battered, which was the cause of death.
A woman walking home was hit by a car while crossing the street near the Samegawa Flood Plain.
It appears the driver of the vehicle abadnoned the scene.
so a fair amount of time passed before her body was discovered.
Hit-And-Run near Samegawa - Woman Dies According to the Inaba Station's statement, the accident happened in the evening.
Going by her belongings, she was identified as a local, Chisato Doujima.
The victim was a woman who lived in town, named Doujima Chisato-san! That's Nanako's mother.
I vaguely remember that.
People in town talked about it a bit at the time.
Did they catch the culprit? I don't think so.
According to this article, the police are still investigating the case, but they're severely lacking information.
They'll have a hard time solving this.
I see This is really awful.
I could never forgive the creep! Tch! Nothing good ever comes from running That bastard! Your uncle's a detective, so this must be eating at him, huh? Yeah, I think so.
I'm back Welcome home! Look over here, Daddy! I put Mum's picture here.
Daddy, do you remember this picture? It's from when we went to Samegawa.
Nanako, save it for later.
Daddy, about coming to observe my class What about that? Uh, where's the paper She means the form I gave you yesterday.
Oh, this? Are you sure "whenever" is okay? Yeah, since I'll never make it there anyway.
Sorry, but I can't afford to go when I'm so busy.
Please listen for a moment! Forget it You don't have to come.
You have a case, right? You have work, right? You care about those bad guys more than you do about me, don't you?! Forget it! Just forget it! Hey, Nanako! Geez, what's gotten into her? Nanako was looking forward to you going.
That was cruel of you! I can't help it! I've got work.
Why don't you try paying some attention to Nanako? Excuse me?! If you actually told her about the hit-and-run I told you to mind your own business! Nanako? What hit-and-run? You don't need to know.
Why not? Forget it! Why are you mad? How come you never listen to me? You never do! Daddy, you're stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! How dare you call your father stupid?! It's not like you care about me anyway! You hate me, don't you?! You aren't real.
You aren't my real dad! Nanako! Nanako, wait! I'll search for her in the shopping district.
Okay, I'll try Junes.
I'm counting on you! Right! Yu! Did you find her? No, she isn't anywhere Has she mentioned anything to you lately? Like somewhere she'd like to visit? Not really Oh, wait Come to think of it- Do you think I'll go to Heaven when I die? Could I see Mum if I went there? No, she wouldn't It's headed for Samegawa.

Going by her belongings, she was identified as a local, Chisato Doujima.
As such, they have not received any useful witness reports.
There were few people around when it occurred, Uncle! Nanako! Chisato, please protect Nanako! I'm begging you! Nanako Thank goodness we found her.
You go to her.
Right now, you're the family member she trusts the most.
She's more likely to listen to you than she would to me.
You're still running away from her? Nanako needs her father! Daddy? So this is where you've been.
When Mum was still with us, you, me and Mum came here to pick flowers just the three of us.
Yeah Mum Why did she leave me? I-I want to see Mum! Nanako D-Daddy, did you forget about Mum? You hid all of her pictures and you never talk about her! Do you hate her now? You've got it wrong.
Do you hate me, too? You idiot! I'm sorry, Nanako.
I'm always making you feel so lonely.
Daddy! I'm sorry, Nanako! You know what, Onii-chan? Hmm? I've been lonely since Mum died, but I bet Daddy has been lonely, too! From now on, I won't cry anymore.
I have to work hard to cover for Mum so Daddy won't get lonely! You're a good girl, Nanako.
Onii-chan, let's work hard together! Yeah, you can count on me.
I'm home! It's Daddy! Uh, so This is a special day for us as a family.
It's a special day? That's right.
It's a special day where you, me and Yu become a family.
What about before? G-Good point At any rate, this is the day where we become a real family.
I see I don't really get it, but isn't that great, Onii-chan? Yeah.
Uncle, this cup From today on, that's yours.
Please use it! I'm sure it would make Chisato happy.
I'll treasure it.
And before I forget "Any day is" something It means "Anytime's cool".
I promise I'll go! Okay! Well, let's dig in! Let's eat! Families are meant to laugh, cry and bicker They spend the length of their long lives together.
They're supposed to be warm.
Yep! I can't believe I was avoiding that by chasing someone who had run away.
You're the one who made me realize that, Yu.
Thank you.
I did it because we're family.
I am going to continue pursuing the culprit who hit Chisato.
But I won't use that as an excuse to run away.
I'm doing it because I'm a detective.
You see, this is my town.
It's special to me since it's where you and Nanako live.
That's why I am going to continue protecting this place.
I'm doing it as both a detective and as a father.
Daddy, you're cool! Yeah, you know it! Did you say "beauty pageant"? Check out our group date café! I look stupid, don't I? Not you too, Narukami-kun! Stop it! I'll break right into your hearts! I suppose I'll take one.
You have obtained the Fortune Arcana with your new bond.
You are truly beautiful as you acquire new powers one after the next.
Only another heart can penetrate into the universe of one's heart.
The answer Narukami Yu, is if you multiply it by Margaret.
Our hearts will- Oops, I forgot to multiply myself by something.
I was merely testing your level of understanding.
Congratulations, you passed.
Hide and seek, it wants to play again.

When Mum was still with us, you, me and Mum came here to pick flowers just the three of us.
Yeah Mum Why did she leave me? I-I want to see Mum! Nanako D-Daddy, did you forget about Mum? You hid all of her pictures and you never talk about her! Do you hate her now? You've got it wrong.
Do you hate me, too? You idiot! I'm sorry, Nanako.
I'm always making you feel so lonely.
Daddy! I'm sorry, Nanako! You know what, Onii-chan? Hmm? I've been lonely since Mum died, but I bet Daddy has been lonely, too! From now on, I won't cry anymore.
I have to work hard to cover for Mum so Daddy won't get lonely! You're a good girl, Nanako.
Onii-chan, let's work hard together! Yeah, you can count on me.
I'm home! It's Daddy! Uh, so This is a special day for us as a family.
It's a special day? That's right.
It's a special day where you, me and Yu become a family.
What about before? G-Good point At any rate, this is the day where we become a real family.
I see I don't really get it, but isn't that great, Onii-chan? Yeah.
Uncle, this cup From today on, that's yours.
Please use it! I'm sure it would make Chisato happy.
I'll treasure it.
And before I forget "Any day is" something It means "Anytime's cool".
I promise I'll go! Okay! Well, let's dig in! Let's eat! Families are meant to laugh, cry and bicker They spend the length of their long lives together.
They're supposed to be warm.
Yep! I can't believe I was avoiding that by chasing someone who had run away.
You're the one who made me realize that, Yu.
Thank you.
I did it because we're family.
I am going to continue pursuing the culprit who hit Chisato.
But I won't use that as an excuse to run away.
I'm doing it because I'm a detective.
You see, this is my town.
It's special to me since it's where you and Nanako live.
That's why I am going to continue protecting this place.
I'm doing it as both a detective and as a father.
Daddy, you're cool! Yeah, you know it! Did you say "beauty pageant"? Check out our group date café! I look stupid, don't I? Not you too, Narukami-kun! Stop it! I'll break right into your hearts! I suppose I'll take one.
