December 24th, late night.
There was a fire on-board the cruise ship S.S. Amberyl situated in Uragaoki, Kanagawa.
The ship eventually sank.
There appears to have been one Butei on-board.
He was working directly for the Butei Agency.
There were eyewitness reports that the explosion occurred near the Butei.
The Butei are Incompetent
As a Butei, he should've prevented this from happening in the first place.
Ship Company and T Butei to Take Responsibility
They aren't called Butei for nothing.
Weren't a lot of people in danger because of your brother?
Don't you have any words of apology?
A dream...
Damn it!
Butei are...
Butei really are...!

Nii-san got involved in the cruise ship incident that day.
He evacuated the guests and crew, and ended up being the only one who died.
Even so, society criticized Nii-san.
I learned that Butei are rebuked even if they lose their life saving people.
They're always on the losing end.
That's why I...
You have a new message
Hotogi Shirayuki
Morning~
Kin-chan, how are you spending your Sunday? That reminds me, I hear that a copycat of the Butei Killer appeared two days ago...
Kin-chan, how are you spending your Sunday?
That reminds me, I hear that a copycat of the Butei Killer appeared two days ago-
...I'm going to quit being a Butei.
It suits you very well.
Okay.
Thank you.
Aria.
Did she change her hairstyle?
She's all dressed up.
Is she going on a date?
Why am I stalking her?
I don't even have a reason to talk to her.
The police department?
Your shadowing sucks.
I can see your tail waggling around.
Well, you should've just told me if you noticed me.
I was wondering if I should let you know or not.
You're also a victim of the Butei Killer, after all.
Well, we're here anyway.
Just follow me.
Mama!
Ooh, Aria.
Is he your boyfriend?
N-No, Mama.
He's Tohyama Kinji, a student at Butei High.
He's not what you just said! Not at all!
Nice to meet you.
I'm Kanzaki Kanae.
I'm sure my daughter has been causing you trouble.
Ah, not at all.
Mama, we don't have much time, so I'll make this quick.
He's a victim of the Butei Killer.
The Butei Killer's starting to work actively again.
I'll catch him soon.
Wait for me!
If we prove your innocence in the Butei Killer case, your term will be reduced from 864 years to 742 years.
I'll do something about the rest before your case reaches the Supreme Court.
I'm glad to hear that, but...
Aria, have you found a partner?
W-Well...
Before you fight such dangerous enemies, you have to find someone who understands you.
I can do it alone.
No, Aria.
You need to do this to bring out your inherited strength.
Great-grandfather and grandmother both had skilled partners, did they not?
I know.
I was called defective because I could never find a partner.
But I don't have time!
Stroll slowly through life.
The faster you run, the more you fall.
Kanzaki, your time is up.
Mama, wait for me!
I'll be sure to catch every person that framed you before your trial!
No, Aria.
Don't challenge the EU yet!
EU?
Time's up!
Mama!
Stop! Don't treat Mama so roughly!
Aria, start by finding a partner!
The scar on your forehead is a sign you're stepping into danger you can't handle alone!
Aria!
Mama!
Stop following me.
Aria.
Just leave me alone!
But you're c-
I'm not crying!
I'm not...
...crying...
When I looked down on the great fields of my country after climbing up to the peak of the great Mt. Kaguyama...
Aria didn't come to school the next day.
A Butei Has Gone Missing A Bicycle Hijack?!
Automobile Hijack Another Butei Missing Butei Killer's Crimes and Conclusions Reached
"Butei Killer" Female Suspect Arrested Lower Court Reserve System Used
The one arrested for these crimes was Kanae-san.
But Aria believes she was framed, so to prove it...
Kinji, become my slave!
Have you found a partner?
When she said "slave", I guess she meant "partner".
But...
You weren't the one I was looking for.
I'm already...
Tohyama-kun.
Shiranui, what are you doing here?
I was looking for you.
I just heard a rumor in Assault.
Apparently, Kanzaki-san suddenly decided to return to London.
It's a chartered flight that leaves Haneda airport at seven tonight.
I thought you might want to know about it.
Is Aria really leaving?
But that's probably better for her.
I can't help her.
Mine Riko
Oh, Ki-kun!
You're finally here!
Come on in.
Why do we have a private room?
Don't worry about it.
You're entering the Riko route now.
I don't get what you mean.
Besides, what did you want to talk about?
Here, Ki-kun.
Say "ahh".
Like I would, idiot!
The Butei Killer.
If you say "ahh", Riko'll tell you all kinds of stuff.
Ahh...
Well, where should we start?
T-They're soft...
Here?
Or...
...down here?
T-That's not what you promised!
Riko knows.
The Butei Killer, right?
Hey, I said-
There's something called an event possibility.
It's something passed off as an accident that may have been the work of the Butei Killer.
S-So there's something besides the motorbike and car hijacks?
Riko found some police department resources.
Event Possi bility Report
Date Occured: 12/24/2008 Event Name: Uragaoki Shipwreck Incident Result: Death Name: Tohyama Kinichi, Butei (19)
Death
Tohyama
This is your brother's name, right?
Wasn't this a ship hijack?
The Butei Killer killed Nii-san?
Why?
Nice...
Very nice, Kinji.
Riko gets the thrills when you make those eyes.
Je t'aime à croquer.
Kinji!
R-Riko, s-stop!
Kinji, you're so dull when it comes to love.
Don't you understand, Kinji?
This is an event scene.
Damn it!
No, I'm going to enter Hysteria Mode again...
What happens in this room stays in this room.
Shirayuki's away on a training camp, and Aria's probably on the plane already.
Hey, Kinji...
Sorry, but we'll continue this some other time.
K-Kinji?
It's time for your nap, Missy.
If my reasoning is correct...
Aria's in danger.
My Hysteria Mode is ending.
However...
Stop!
I'm a Butei!
I've linked all my thoughts thanks to being in Hysteria Mode for a moment.
The mistaken Butei Killer.
Nii-san's incident.
The bicycle and bus hijack.
And this chartered flight.
The Butei Killer is probably here!
E-Excuse me?
I'm a Butei! Stop the plane from taking off!
B-But...
There's no time to explain!
Just stop the plane!
O-Okay.
I made it.
It looks like a special plane designed for the rich.
The planes that real nobles fly in really are different.
It's moving?
U-Um...
I'm sorry.
The captain said he cannot stop the plane now due to regulations...
I'll have to change my plan.
Do you really know her?
Even if you are a Butei, I don't think you should barge into a passenger's compartment...
Kinji!
Yo, Aria.
In that case, please remain seated and fasten your seatbelt.
We will be taking off shortly.
H-Hey, you!
Let me explain. This plane is actually-
How rude of you to barge into someone's room uninvited!
You have no right to say that.
We're taking off. We should fasten our seatbelts.
Why did you come after me?
Why does the sun rise? Why does the moon shine?
Shut up! I'll blow a hole through you!
Butei Law Article, section two.
"You must fulfill your client's contract."
I promised you that we would solve the first mission that occurred together.
However, the case of the Butei Killer hasn't been solved yet.
W-What's all this now?!
I've realized something thanks to you.
I'll work alone for my whole life!
There's nobody in the world that could be my partner!
So just-
You're scared?
N-Not at all.
How stupid.
Anyway, you should just-
Go hide in your bed if you're scared.
Just make sure you don't wet it.
S-S-Stupid Kinji!
This is the captain speaking.
This plane is currently circumventing some storm clouds.
The lightning should continue for a while, but it will not affect our safety.
Aria, did you bring spare panties?
What?!
Even Aria the Quadra has things she's scared of.
K-Kinji...
Don't be so scared.
It's fine.
B-But...
She has such small and fragile hands...
She's just a normal girl.
So even if I'm not her partner, as a friend...
Kinji...
Aria, listen.
The Butei Killer is probably on this-
What was that?
Like, your attention please.
Like, this flight has been hijacked.
This manner of speech...
It's the Butei Killer!
Normal passengers, like, please stay quietly in your rooms.
Damn it! He really is here!
However, Butei are, like, exceptions.
Like, come to the bar on the first floor if you want to face me.
Perfect. I'll blow holes through him.
I'll go with you.
You don't have to.
Well?
J-Just come...
The Butei Killer incidents began with motorbike and car hijacks.
He also killed a Butei in a ship hijack.
It was probably a direct battle too.
Your reasoning?
The electronic signals he would've used to remote control the ship weren't detected.
He didn't need to use them because he was on the ship itself.
I get the feeling he's repeating the incidents.
A bicycle instead of a motorbike.
A bus instead of a car.
And instead of a ship...
...it's a plane.
But how did you know it would be this flight?
He forced his own charges on Kanae-san.
He's declaring war against you.
So that means he was targeting me from the start.
He's making fun of me, isn't he?
I'll show him!
You...
Like, it seems you walked right into this one too.
Riko!
Bon soir , Kinji.
And...
Holmes.
Holmes?
Who... are you?
Riko Mine Lupin the 4th.
That's Riko's real name.
Lupin...?
Yes. The French phantom thief, Arsene Lupin.
Riko is his great-granddaughter.
W-What?
As Lupin's descendant, why would you do all this?!
That's because Riko is Riko.
My relatives won't call me Riko,
the cute name my mother gave me.
The 4th... the 4th...
The 4th-sama!
My servants, everyone... it's horrible.
So what? What's so bad about being the 4th?
Of course it's bad!
Am I just a number? Just some gene?!
I'm Riko, not some number!
If I don't surpass my great-grandfather, I won't be myself my whole life.
That's why I joined the EU and made this power mine.
With this power, I will take back what's mine.
My own identity!
Wait, Riko!
Are you really the Butei Killer?
The one behind the bicycle and bus hijacks...
That was just a game, a prologue.
My real target is Holmes the 4th, Aria.
You.
A hundred years ago, our great-grandfathers fought an even battle.
In other words, I will prove myself to have surpassed my great-grandfather if I defeat Holmes the 4th.
Kinji, be sure to fulfill your role.
The descendants of the Holmes family require a partner.
Holmes the 1st had a skilled partner.
In order to make the conditions the same, I tried to get you and Aria together.
You tried to... me and Aria?
That's right! Riko planted a bomb on your bicycle and sent out a really obvious signal.
But it didn't look like that was enough, so Riko hijacked the bus too just in case.
Oh Kinji, you didn't even notice that Riko tampered with your clocks.
You fail as a Butei!
So everything has been going according to your plan?
Not really.
I miscalculated that you two would get together after the bus hijacking.
Kinji wouldn't do anything unless I mentioned his Nii-san.
Oh, and of course, the one behind what happened to your brother is also...
...Riko!
Nii-san...
You...
You...!
I'll also tell you something nice.
Your Nii-san is Riko's boyfriend right now.
That's enough!
She's provoking you! Stay calm!
How can I stay calm?!
Oh my!
Non, non . This won't do, Kinji.
Right now, you're useless in battle.
You're not the only dual wielder around, Aria!
Because Butei usually wear bulletproof vests, the guns used in close combat aren't lethal weapons.
They must be fired at point blank range to be effective.
In other words, they're blunt impact weapons.
That hurt!
Bullet capacity becomes key in evenly-matched fights.
That puts Aria at a disadvantage.
However...
Kinji!
It's over, Riko!
What a coincidence, Aria.
You and Riko are similar in many ways.
Bloodline, cuteness... and title.
I have the same title as you.
Riko the Quadra.
But you aren't a true Quadra!
Aria!
Aria...
Aria!
