DateYou've heard the rumors? Of the "Akiba Disappearances"?
DateNearly ten people have gone missing in Akihabara.
DateHalf of them haven't been officially reported yet, and it hasn't even developed into a major case.
DateBut for a bunch of grown-ups to suddenly vanish, poof, voila, without a trace, for no reason? In the span of a measly two months?!
DateThat's weird, I'm telling you! This is a BIG deal!
DateBut as far as top brass is concerned, since there isn't any valid connection between these incidents, we don't actually have a case.
DateBut my gut's telling me to investigate this. You got a problem with that? Then shut up and let me do my job!
Date"I'll rip the hairs from your balding heads!"
DateI lost my cool and started yelling at the top brass, at which point Matayoshi had to smack some sense into me.
DateSo the higher-ups stepped back, and left me alone.
DateMatayoshi saved my bacon yet again.
DateBe that as it may...
DateI finally got why that stubborn old man would back away from that case so quickly.
DateTo use his secret weapon for an investigation.
DateSo there should be no complaints if I use it too, then.
PlayerAn eye for an eye. I understand. What's good for the goose? Good workmen don't blame their tools!
DateYeah, you do understand! Let's just get down to business!
DateI just sent you the list of people who have gone missing. The "Akiba Disappearances."
DateWe don't have much in the way of details 'cause it's not an official case.
DateI used my gut to help pick out individuals here in Tokyo who might have a connection to any of the missing persons.
Player...
PlayerYour gut? Might have? Your gut... Might have?
DateWhat? You have a problem with that?
Player...
DateOh, shoot! Matayoshi is calling me! All right, I've got to go!
DateYou should gather info on the people on that list for now!
DateSomething is bound to turn up. Some person in common? A place? A shared hobby?
DateThat's how it is on TV, right? All the time.
DateOh, and do NOT tell Matayoshi about this. If word gets out... You know what'll happen.
PlayerYou'll arrest me. I understand. Let me guess. You'll arrest me? Something along the lines of arresting me?
DateAs long as we're clear on that.
KyokoHow did it go? Did you youngsters have fun?
Player...
KyokoJokes aside, we're caught up with a pretty rough customer now. That's your... no, that's my karma at work.
KyokoRegardless, you took on the case, so I expect you to do a good job.
KyokoI'll stay out of Detective Matayoshi's way by not making any moves out in the open.
KyokoRelax, though. I'll still be supporting you.
KyokoWell, let's get down to it. What are you planning to do?
KyokoI see. Get info on the missing persons from Akihabara?
KyokoA detective needs to tread the same path over and over again. But I can tell you know that already.
KyokoBy the way...
KyokoWhen I checked, "fishy" had meanings like shady, dubious, and tricky.
KyokoAnd certainly, a detective might unknowingly take on a fishy air, I suppose.
KyokoBut I think that's just a front, and I'm not alone in that.
KyokoAs it is, you're an unconventional cyber sleuth. I'm looking forward to catching a whiff of whatever stench you wind up emitting.
KyokoGo to Akihabara and track down those folks who've gone missing.
KyokoWhat's that? There's a client waiting outside? Hmph... Well, of course there is.
