Oh, welcome.
I'm so glad your arcade is thriving.
My regulars are showing their support after that incident.
Oh, by the way...
Your brother's here.
Ayaka?
Onii-chan!

Go for it, Tetsu-san!
Don't lose!
Crap!
What the hell?!
Get up!
Wow...
I lost!
That's because you have no fighting tactics, Tetsu-san.
You can't play a game and think at the same time, dumbass.
Hey, Toshi.
Where have you been?
Yeah.
Why didn't you call us?
Well, you know, I've been busy...
Onii-chan! Are you okay—
Don't touch me!
I'll go check up on him.
What's with him?
He doesn't look so good.
Are you okay?
Thanks.
You were amazing.
At that game.
I was watching, but I couldn't keep up with your speed.
It's all a still image to me.
I can see every single pixel of movement.
They seem still to me.
Are you Ayaka's boyfriend?
N-No, I'm just in the Gardening Club with her.
Isn't she annoying?
She's dumb, obnoxious, and tries to take me back, too.
That's because she's worried about you.
Worried about what?
She's guilty of skipping school herself.
She just wants to feel better about herself.
As the kind sister who takes care of her pathetic older brother.
You should watch your back.
It seems like you're my replacement.
Are you okay?
What is that?
Angel Fix.

Hello?
Oh, Fujishima-kun?
Where are you?
Are you with my brother?
No—
'Ey, this Narumi?
Could you buy something for me?
What?
I can't hear you.
Hey, Tetsu-san!
C'mon, now.
Let's keep playing games.
Yeah. Powerebo's really fun!
Where's Toshi, Narumi?
Well, he started acting weird after taking some sort of drug.
He's on that shit again?
He hasn't changed one bit.
What do you mean, Tetsu-san?
Don't tell Ayaka, got it?
She doesn't know her brother's a junkie.
Hey, did my brother say anything?
Huh?
N-No.
Hey! Your face gave it away!
You're definitely hiding something!
Come on, let your inner voice slip out!
Excuse me.
Yes, hello?
Onii-chan?
Where are you?
Who cares where I am?
Just don't tell them anything they don't need to know.
I'll call you if I need anything.
Okay.
Oh, and Hakamizaka-san says hi.
He's at Hakamizaka-san's place again.
Hakamizaka?
Oh, sorry. I overheard you...
Oh, I don't mind.
I've only met him two or three times myself.
If I remember correctly, he's a university student doing some kind of botanical research.
I am very pleased to see all of you healthy after the long summer break.
However...
Narumi!
Alice's lunch is ready!
Alice, it's time for lunc—
Stop it!
What are you doing?!
I'm not leftover dinner!
Just stay still!
What are you doing?
Hair treatment!
Give me a hand, Fujishima-kun!
I don't need you to know cosmetic techniques!
You'll be banned from entering if you ever learn them!
Lively as ever, I see.
I've got a job for you.
NEET Investigation Firm
I haven't finished yet!
You, too.
I was wondering if I could help out in any way.
A life has been lost.
It's not a case that some ordinary person should be involved with.
Does a sworn brother count as some ordinary person?
There's a new drug going around.
I'd like you to track down its trafficking route.
What's it called?
Angel Fix.
Looks like you know about it.
You can tell us about it after we get the trio downstairs.
Are you sure that Toshi had it on him?
Yes.
He told me it was Angel Fix.
That idiot!
Why would he lay hands on such a dangerous drug?
Fix is being sold by amateurs.
The people who buy it in bunches tend to resell it in smaller portions or as powder.
That's why there's no trafficking route.
No clues on the mastermind either.
Yeah.
All we know is that, since Toshi had so many on him,
he either bought them from the mastermind, or he's a dealer.
We'll have to find Toshi and make him explain everything.
U-Um, what should I—
I told you, there's been casualties.
We won't be using you this time.
Take care of Ayaka.
Yeah.
Make sure she doesn't find out.
Hinamura-san's so mean.
Why am I the only one out of the loop?
Don't you think so?
I even helped with Meo-chan's case!
Yeah...
You're right.
Hey!
Were you even listening?
Uh...
What were you guys talking about?
Tetsu-senpai and the others were also in the office, right?
I-It's nothing worth mentioning...
H-Has Toshi-san contacted you since?
Does this case involve my brother?
N-No, uh...
Was that why I was kicked out? Because I'd be a nuisance?
Was it something you guys didn't want me to know?
No!
Are you no different?
My brother doesn't tell me anything important.
He always disappears without telling me.
Isn't she annoying?
Why?
We used to get along so well,
but you won't tell me anything.
That makes you no different from my brother.
It seems like you're my replacement.
Am I his replacement?
Am I a replacement for your brother?
Do you think it'd somehow work with me...
What didn't work with Toshi-san would work with me...
Why would you say that?
I-I'm sorry!

I shall take away the last food for my little sister...
What's wrong? You look depressed.
Did Shinozaki tell you off again?
No.
Why don't you just quit the Gardening Club?
Ayaka!
About yesterday...
Don't worry about it.
You don't know what you did wrong, right?
So don't worry about it.
Wait up!
I'll apologize if I did something wrong.
You'll apologize unknowingly?

Thanks for your attention.

It's Fujishima.

Ayaka!
Fujishima-kun.
Um...
Don't go near the shed.
I just sprayed pesticides inside.
So...
I'm sorry!
Huh?
Uh, well...
Here.
What's this?
Counter Groper Machine?
Actually, give it back.
I'm just kidding! Sorry!
Read it from inside.
Misono Gardening Club.
How did you make this?
I asked Yoshiki-san to make it for me.
You took a day off for this?
So, how do I look?
Do you have one, too?
I do, but...
It's on the house.
Yoshiki
Thank you.
I'm really happy!
My brother said something to you, didn't he?
That's why you said what you did, right?
I'm sorry.
What did he say?
Something about you skipping school.
That's the truth.
I used to hate talking to people, so I ran off to the rooftop a lot.
That day was no different.
I couldn't stand being in the classroom, so I went to the rooftop...
And there you were, Fujishima-kun.
I really wanted to talk to you at first, but I didn't have the courage to.
So I brought up a few flower containers.
That way, I can come to the rooftop pretending to do club activities, right?
That's why you're different.
I don't know what my brother said,
but you're not his replacement.
You're you, Fujishima-kun.
So, I...
I see.
For about a month after that,
the gloom piled up on the rooftop was swept up into the summer sky.
Ayaka and I were able to laugh together like we did before.
But by the time autumn clouds began to shroud the sky,
the gloom gradually began to spread once again.

I think I failed English.
Me, too.
Oh, Fujishima-kun's here, too.
Good to see both of you here.
I had a favor to ask of you both.
We're going to use the rooftop for the upcoming cultural festival.
Could you move out all these flower containers soon?
Whoa, that looks like a difficult read.
Alice asked me to borrow them from the reference section at the university's pharmacy department.
They're documents and ingredient tables for plants that may be used to make drugs.
I'm totally clueless, too.
What about these?
These are Shibuya Ward's drug-related emergency call logs for the past month.
This many, huh?
Did you manage to get anything?
I couldn't get a single witness account of Toshi.
Same here.
A big shot from headquarters is apparently here on a secret investigation,
but they haven't figured anything out yet.
What are you doing?
Oh, it's just you.
Don't scare us like that!
I thought it was Ayaka!
Ayaka said she'd be late from her greenhouse duties.
Let's call it a day, then.
Please hurry up.
Hello?
How long do you plan on slacking?!
Get up here! And bring Hiro with you.
What's her problem?
Should I get the car ready?
It's probably about Moggadeet.
Probably.
Good luck with Alice, then.
Right.
I almost forgot.
Make sure you clean everything up.
Ayaka will be here any minute.
Got it.
Hey, Tetsu-san.
Why did Toshi lay his hands on something like this?
Who knows?
I don't understand why people turn to drugs.
Yeah.
What's wrong?
Nothing. I was probably imagining things.

Good timing.
It's a list of guys thrown into the hospitals around here this past month.
Okay.
I'll pass it on to Alice.
Sorry, I'm late.
Welcome back.
Thanks.
You want to try my new ice cream, too?
Don't mind if I do.
It's good!
Is it Tiramisu?
Yeah.
I thought I'd try a mainstream flavor.
I helped out a bit, too.
Hurry and finish up, Ayaka.
Okay.
It's so good!
"Pick me up," was it?
That's what Tiramisu means.
Wow, you sure know a lot!
No, uh... it's what my sister said back then.
I wonder if the person who first made Tiramisu felt this way, too.
When should we clear the rooftop?
Do we really have to?
I wanted to do club activities there just a little longer.
Fujishima-kun?
Let's talk it over with the teacher tomorrow.
I know they need it for the cultural festival, but we can't do it on such short notice.
Plus, that place...
Sign: Gardening Club
That place is our...
Our what?
No, err... that was just a figure of speech...
After all, I'm a Gardening Club member, too...
See you tomorrow.
I've seen that smile of hers before.
But I still clearly remember it now.

That woundless smile of hers.
If only I had stopped Ayaka then...
If I could've asked something out of her...
I wouldn't have had to open...

With Ayaka gone, I finally realized...
that I'm no longer the person I used to be.
I hereby become a detective's assistant in order to discover the lost words.
Let's go, Alice.
