#7 Stay Out of The Diary!
[Hitomi] I have your pour-over ready.
[Masato] Thanks.
Oh, I happen to have some intel
that might interest you
from an art journalist I know.
Cranaff's Sunlight Filtering Through Trees
is going on exhibit at Sugai Art Museum.
Something tells me that Cat's Eye
is going to go after it.
Uh-huh. Are you trying to tell me
that the Mouse hasn't learned his lesson
and is going to try and snipe it?
If you're referring
to their professional rivalry,
that's a relic of the past.
Don't be silly.
I'm giving you this intel purely as a man
doing his gentlemanly duty,
you bella donna.
What did that one mean again?
You've forgotten?
I'm calling you
a beautiful woman, of course.
Ah, that's right.
Since you wiped the floor
with me at the jeweler's,
you're the only thing on my mind, darling.
I can't even sleep a wink these days.
Hmm.
[door opens, bell chimes]
Welcome.
- Oh!
- [both gasp]
[Hitomi] Toshio?
This day could be going better.
Did you just come from the sauna?
As if I'd go into a sauna
wearing a button-up shirt!
So then tell us what did happen, Toshio.
Turns out one of the water pipes
burst above my unit.
My place ended up
getting completely flooded.
Management has taken care of the repairs.
But while they do that,
I'm not allowed to stay at my pla--
- [sneezes]
- Oh!
[Rui] Use this.
Oh, bless you, Rui.
This isn't your day, huh?
So then, do you have
anywhere you could stay?
[Toshio] Funny you should mention.
On my way here, I was thinking
and while they're fixing
things in my building,
do you think I could stay at your place?
- Huh?
- [all gasp]
What, here?
Just think about it.
It's so close to the station,
and I always feel more relaxed
when I'm here, so it's perfect.
Ah! I might as well go ahead
and put down my stuff, then.
- Hold on just a second, okay?
- [Toshio] What?
Toshio, this isn't really
up to you. Right?
Yeah, it's pretty last-minute
to be hosting someone.
Ugh, so I have to go sleep in a park?
I'm soaking wet for crying out loud!
Not a park. Why not stay in a hotel?
On a policeman's salary, there's no way
I can afford something like that.
Are you kidding?
For the record,
I'm against you staying here, too.
Uh, this has got
nothing to do with you, Kamiya.
Keep your nose out of it.
Uh
Yeah, it has nothing to do with me, right.
Hitomi, please, can I?
It's just that there are things here
- I don't want you seeing.
- [gasps]
What do you mean?
- Aah! She, uh
- Huh?
She doesn't want you to see things
like her underwear, you know?
Yeah, it's just three of us girls.
So having a guy staying with us
would be weird. Right, Rui?
Well, there's nothing that three girls
need more than a man, right?
I'll be your live-in security!
No way. You can't stay here.
I don't understand. What is the big deal?
You and I have been together
since high school.
Have you always been such an ice queen?
Let it go, okay?
My mind is made up, so stop asking!
Detective. I thought you might be here.
Oh, Asatani.
I haven't seen you at work yet.
What are you doing here?
Well, about that
[Asatani] What a saga.
I take it something is preventing you
from hosting Utsumi here.
Oh, no. It's just
just, um
Hmm.
Very well then.
Utsumi, you can stay at my home.
- Huh?
- Uh Really?
Uh, but you live on your own,
don't you, Asatani?
It's true. But I have
a spare room at my place.
- Hmm.
- [Hitomi sighs]
If you ask me, that is a great solution.
Then you can talk
all the police work you want.
- [Hitomi] Stop it!
- [all] Huh?
No! Toshio is staying with us.
- [Ai] What?
- Come again?
You warmed up to the idea?
There's no better place
for him to stay than with us here.
Oh, thank you, Hitomi!
As long as I live, I'll never forget this.
[Toshio sighs] That was a close call.
Now I can finally breathe.
Oh! Can I do something to help you?
How about a shoulder massage?
- Or, uh, I can wash the dishes.
- [chuckles nervously]
I'm a great dishwasher. When can I start?
Are you done with whatever you're doing?
[Hitomi] No, I'm not. Hold on.
I can't use the bathroom either?
No, you're forbidden
from leaving that spot.
Ugh, am I even gonna be alive
when you're done in there?
Uh, by the way, what should I do
with all the tech that's in my room?
I told him
that he should give you your privacy,
but hide them just to be sure.
[Ai] Yep. Heard.
Listen, are you certain
this is a good idea?
I said he could stay.
There's no going back now.
[Ai] I'm with Hitomi.
I'm excited because it feels like
I've finally got a brother.
So this is gonna be fun.
Easy for you to say.
This is going to make
our work harder, you know?
Don't worry.
I'm going to figure this out for us.
Hey, can I come in yet?
- [all gasp]
- Get out!
What was that for?
[Hitomi] I didn't say
you could come in yet, did I?
Come on!
What have you been doing all this time?
[Hitomi] I'm organizing my underwear.
Just chill out and wait, would you?
Here we go with underwear again.
How much of their lives
are spent on underwear?
[sighs]
Hey, are you sure about this?
[chuckles nervously] It'll be great.
This'll be your room
for as long as you're here.
[Toshio] Thanks again for doing this.
You're allowed to visit three places
other than your bedroom.
The bath, the restroom,
the living room, and that's it.
Yep. I got it, boss.
And let me just say, I'm not gonna
let you stay here forever.
I hear you loud and clear.
I'll find somewhere else
I can stay soon, okay?
Tell me if you need anything, okay?
My room is right next to yours.
The closet is yours to use too.
Roger that.
[sighs]
My girlfriend basically acts
like a drill sergeant.
[sighs] Here I was thinking
this might make our relationship stronger.
Now, I don't know.
[sighing]
Well, time to hit the hay.
Closet, closet
Is it this one?
Hmm?
[gasps]
[gasps softly]
- [huffs]
- [gasps]
- [Hitomi screams]
- [objects clattering]
Owie.
[groans]
[Hitomi] Stop screaming
and take it like a man.
Open that door without knocking again
and you're out of here.
If you told me from the beginning
there was a door to your room,
I wouldn't have opened it
in the first place.
- You wouldn't have?
- [Toshio] Right.
[grunts]
Hmm? What'd I do?
[groans] You could stand to be
a little gentler with me, don't you think?
Okay, girls, let's get out of here.
[Toshio] Uh, wait,
where are you going? Hey!
- [door closes]
- Uh Hmm.
What is she all mad for?
[sighs]
[sighs] Can't sleep.
Even the blanket here smells good.
[sighs]
- [phone chimes]
- Huh?
Asatani - Hello, it's Kamiya.
Keep a close eye on the three sisters
to make sure they don't do
anything suspicious.
Oh, gosh.
Asatani is like a dog with a bone,
thinking that the girls are Cat's Eye.
Kamiya, you might
just be in love with her.
[sighs]
Huh?
- [Masato] We meet again, Asatani.
- [gasps]
Oh. Good evening.
And what are you doing out so late?
I'm taking care of a work task.
Ah, you're on the clock.
Just work?
It's only professional.
Until we meet again.
Ah, well, aren't we weaving
a complicated web?
[phone beeping]
[Toshio groaning]
Huh? Morning?
Huh?
Morning.
[screams]
Are you done?
Uh, I forgot.
Of course. I'm at your place.
We have breakfast if you come downstairs.
Oh, great.
Uh
Hmm.
How'd you sleep last night?
Not too bad. Thanks.
Here. This is where you sit.
Okay.
Wow! This is a feast!
And now it's time to dig in!
[Toshio munching]
[chuckles softly]
Rui, why didn't you wake me up?
I did, but you kept going back to sleep.
You want food?
Yep, one of these to go.
[muffled] Mmm. Oh, that's right.
[Toshio and Hitomi] Huh?
Hmm.
Daddy, Mommy, I'll be off.
[both exclaiming]
Would you get out of here?
Ooh, the blushing bride
is really blushing!
- [laughs] See ya!
- [door closes]
What a menace.
Oh, it's late. I probably
should have left for work by now.
Uh, where is it?
My notebook must be upstairs.
I can go get it for you. Wait here.
Much obliged.
[gasps]
And there it is.
Hitomi to the rescue.
- Hey.
- [Hitomi] Here's your notebook.
Thanks.
All right, see you later.
Stay safe, okay?
[laughs]
- [Masato] Are you open already?
- Oh.
Nope, not yet.
Well, how's it going so far
living together with the young Tosh?
Honestly, a thief and a detective
under the same roof?
You'll get nothing but trouble out of it,
mark my words.
That's very gallant,
but you don't need to worry about me.
All right. Just remember,
if you find yourself in a sticky situation
that the Mouse is here to help you.
It really doesn't concern you.
Have a seat on that bench
until we're actually open.
- [bell chimes]
- [door closes]
Oh?
Huh?
INUNARI POLICE DEPARTMEN
Cat's Eye's announced that tomorrow
will be their next strike.
So let's talk through our security plans
for the Sugai Art Museum.
- Utsumi!
- Uh, yep.
Um, based on the calling card
they dropped at the Sugai
Huh?
Is something the matter?
I had another sheet of notes in here.
Guess I forgot them somewhere?
This wouldn't be a problem
if you used a tablet.
Joke's on you.
I remember everything I wrote.
There a problem?
Oh, no, sir. I'll start now.
The Cats are targeting a painting
called Sunlight Filtering Through Trees.
In fact,
what's on display in the museum
[Hitomi] The Sunlight Filtering
Through Trees on display is an imitation.
The original is actually
in their storage annex.
[Rui] This is key.
Their entire strategy
for tomorrow is all right here.
This was almost a total disaster.
If we'd gone in
to take it without knowing this,
we would have been in trouble.
I was able to get
the audio samples we need,
and we helped out Toshio,
so this has been a win-win.
[softly] Mmm.
[grunts softly]
That is so weird.
It wouldn't just disappear.
[sighs]
Hitomi, this morning when you
Ah, not in here.
[yelps] If she finds out I'm in here
without asking, she'll get pissed!
[exclaims] Dang it.
Uh A diary?
Hmm. Uh.
I can't read this.
It's an invasion of privacy.
Hmm?
Uh June 26th.
That's the day I came here, isn't it?
"June 26th.
"Out of nowhere, Toshio is going to be
staying with us for a time.
"Rui was against it because she says
it'll make our work that much harder."
"Work harder"?
"I'm actually pretty excited
about us being together
"under the same roof, though."
Hmm.
- [door opens]
- Huh?
Toshio?
[gasps]
Uh
[grumbles]
It was an honest mistake. [yelps]
[Hitomi grunts]
I can't believe
you read my diary, you jerk!
[Toshio groaning]
[groans] Hitomi!
Oh I screwed up. I'm an idiot.
But then What did she mean
that my being here
would make their work harder?
She said it'd be harder to run the café,
but it's just me.
Well, it doesn't matter right now.
Hitomi, I'm sorry!
Forgive me!
I called him a jerk. But what about me?
SUGAI ART MUSEUM
[Toshio] Cat's Eye is good,
but not good enough to know
this is a counterfeit.
[Asatani] Cat's Eye could be
on the premises for all we know.
It's best that we keep mum
about the fact that this one's a fake.
[grunts]
Good point, Asatani.
Storage team, come in. How are things
looking over there?
Takeuchi reporting from the annex.
Nothing unusual to report!
[Toshio] Takeuchi, no matter what happens,
don't abandon your post!
Your only duty tonight
is protecting that painting.
We'll handle the Cats when they get here.
How are things out front?
Quiet as a church out here.
Huh?
[groans]
Hmm?
[Toshio] Right on.
Don't let your guard down for a second!
Utsumi, did you happen to find
the note you lost yesterday?
Uh, that's very thoughtful of you to ask.
[Hirano] We've got
an incoming from the air!
Looks like she's headed straight for us!
Hey, everybody, get up to the roof!
[Hirano] You're not getting away from me!
She dove down! Get going, men!
[panting]
[Hirano] Gotcha now!
[grunts]
Huh?
Hey, did you get her?
It's a mannequin, bro!
- I don't know where Cat's Eye is!
- What'd you say?
[Takeuchi] What happened?
Do we have eyes on 'em?
But Takeuchi, if you're all here,
who's guarding the annex storage?
But Toshio hit me on the radio
and said to come up here now.
He said we don't need
to guard the storage anymore.
I said what?
[Toshio] Dang it all!
It's most likely
that internal information leaked out.
It couldn't. How would that happen?
Oh, you know, say,
if Cat's Eye got their hands
on the sheet of notes
that you misplaced, Detective Utsumi.
Don't tell me that you still suspect
Hitomi is Cat's Eye!
Well, was she in a position
to be able to access your notebook?
Uh, she wouldn't.
Where is it, my notebook?
I can go get it for you. Wait here.
Here's your notebook.
[Hitomi] Rui was against it
because she says
it'll make our work that much harder.
[grunts]
Did you make a connection
just now, Detective?
Uh
- Forget it.
- [elevator dings]
Could Hitomi be in Cat's Eye?
As if. There's no way that's true.
[Hitomi] Uh-huh?
[grunts softly]
Do you need something?
Uh
How was business in the café today?
Oh, um it was busy.
We had more customers than usual,
so it really flew by.
Oh, good. I'm glad to hear it.
Also, I wanted to talk to you
about the other morning.
Mm
Uh, you know what?
Just forget it.
Sleep well.
Yeah, you too.
It's not possible.
There's no way.
[sighs wearily]
- [door opens]
- Huh?
Buongiorno!
[Hitomi] Oh, hi, Kamiya.
Could you act just
a little happier to see me, bella?
The café is not open yet.
- Look, I know.
- Know what?
- That Toshio is piecing things together.
- Oh
That's why I said
he shouldn't be staying here.
It's a sticky situation.
- I just
- Give it to me.
- What do you want?
- The page from his notes.
- I'm gonna take care of it for you.
- Huh?
And you can say thanks
by going on a date with me.
In that case, it's gonna be a no.
[chuckles] The date was just a joke, okay?
A very generous Mouse is
simply trying to look out
for some little kittens who are about
to step in some doo-doo, Hitomi.
[groans softly]
[alarm ringing]
Dang it! That fire alarm is so loud.
[indistinct chatter]
Utsumi, did you ever find out
what happened to that note of yours?
Um, not yet.
Have you asked Hitomi
if she knows anything?
[groans softly]
There's no evidence
that she was involved.
If you won't pursue this lead,
then I'm going to look into it for myself.
And how are you gonna do that?
How will you check?
Oh?
Hold on
- Huh?
- Ah! There it is! That's it!
- The note I lost the other day!
- Huh?
And it's in your desk
of all places, Asatani.
That was the last thing I was expecting.
This is good news.
No, this is far from good news!
Because how on earth did it
find its way into my diary?
That's what that is?
Just tell me now if you were reading it.
No, of course I wasn't reading it.
So what is the explanation
for how the note got in here?
I'm more curious about the fact
that you keep
a written diary, to be honest.
You don't use a tablet for that?
The things that matter most,
I want to write down in my own hand.
Could you give me an example of one?
[gasps] Back off! You looked
at my diary just now, didn't you?
This is sexual harassment!
What are you talking about?
And no, I haven't looked at it!
If you don't want prying eyes,
don't bring it here!
That just now is an abuse of power.
You have been reading it, haven't you?
[grumbles]
I told you that I haven't read it!
Ah, sometimes I surprise myself
with what a good guy I am.
[Rui] Thanks to the Mouse,
Cat's Eye's identity is still under wraps.
Yep. Does he have you on the hook
to do something for him in return again?
Not this time.
I guess I do need to extend some gratitude
to him after what he did for us, though.
So it's your call to make, Hitomi.
What should be our next move?
Do you want Toshio to stay with us,
or should we ask him to move on?
Good question.
It's true that it hasn't been
smooth sailing lately.
And I do feel bad that we ended up
using Toshio's note against him.
But we've been able to spend
more time together,
and I've really been
enjoying that part of it.
So I think having him stay with us
for a little longer would be nice.
Well.
[giggles]
Sounds good to me.
[chuckles]
- [door opens]
- [Toshio] I'm back.
[gasps]
[Hitomi] You're home!
Oh, hey. All three of you
came to welcome me?
What happened?
Speak of the devil.
We were just saying
how well you fit in here.
Right. About me staying here,
apparently, they finished up the repairs
on my apartment today.
So I'll be heading back there.
Huh?
I want to say to all three of you,
- I really appreciate this.
- [Ai and Hitomi] Huh?
It means so much to me
that you let me stay.
Oh! Huh?
If you're leaving,
then I say you go ahead and do it already!
Huh? Did I say something wrong?
How do you always manage
to beef it with the timing this hard.
Yep, that went poorly.
[Toshio chuckles nervously]
[closing theme song playing]
