RyotaYeah...
RyotaHmmm...
RyotaHmm... What to do, what to do...
Player...
Ryota!!!
RyotaOh! Player!? ...How long have you been there!?
RyotaLooks like your many years of experience as a detective have made you a master of stealth...
Ryota...
RyotaNo, that can't be right...
RyotaHmm? What am I worrying about? Damn it, how could you tell! You're too good at the detective stuff...
Ryota...Well, maybe it's better to ask you about this anyway. Doesn't seem like I'm gonna solve this one on my own...
RyotaI'm not gonna solve this one on my own anyway. It's probably better ask you for help...
KyokoYour girlfriend will be getting out of hospital soon and you want to give her a present!?
RyotaAh! Kyoko, keep your voice down a bit! Sakura... She's not my girlfriend yet...
Kyoko...Huh? Not yet? What on earth does that mean?
RyotaEh...um...I...well...
KyokoLook, if you want to give her a present, just give her whatever you want...
RyotaI'd like to get something a girl would like. Could you help me choose something?
KyokoBut...you know you'll have to pay for this if it's an official case, right?
RyotaThat's okay. I just want her to have the best possible present.
Kyoko...Well, I mean, she's just getting out of the hospital, that's all. Don't you think you're taking this a bit too far?
Ryota...Jeez, give it a rest already! I know you're a detective and all, but stop constantly analyzing every little thing for once!
KyokoHeeheeheehee... It's a personal rule of mine not to take on a case unless I completely understand it.
KyokoBut, okay, I suppose I can make an exception, just for now...
Ryota"Just for now"? That sounds scary...
RyotaI need money in order to buy the present, so I'll get a part-time job! I heard about some good haunted spots outside of EDEN.
RyotaBut I'll still need your help!
Kyoko...Hmm, he's still working in ghost photography?
Kyoko...
KyokoWell, I guess that's fine... So, we're looking for something a girl would like.
KyokoSorry, but I stopped thinking like a girl a long time ago, and you're too worldly, so that leaves us with a bit of a problem.
KyokoIn this situation, I'd say you should ask your feminine friends.
KyokoHmm, your feminine friends...
KyokoWhat about Arata? Maybe Yuuko? Nokia maybe?
KyokoWell, he's not really feminine, but if I had to say I'd say he seems like a kind of childish romantic to me...
KyokoWell... She's not really the type. She's naive and probably wouldn't care about what kind of present it was, I'd say.
KyokoPerfect! She's probably not really that kind of person, but at least she will try her best...or at least that's how she seems to me.
KyokoHmm, I think she's in Shinjuku right now...
KyokoGo and ask her for her opinion on girl's presents.
KyokoGo and ask Nokia Shiramine for her opinion on girl's presents.
NokiaHuh? You're looking for a present for a girl? Do you have any more information than that?
NokiaHmm... a girl's present... ...but Player, why are you asking me about this?
Nokia...OMG!!! You LIKE someone, don't you!?
Player!?
NokiaBut...you already have me... Wait, is that why...?
NokiaBut since you can't have me all to yourself you need to find someone else... That's probably it...
Player...
NokiaI guess I'm just too intimidating for most guys... but if nobody ever gets close to me because they're afraid... Not a good sign....
NokiaBut...Player and me, we aren't like that.
NokiaAs Rebels, we all share the same goals, the same ideals... We have a special relationship that can overcome any obstacle!
Player...
Nokia...So, what's the request again?
NokiaAh, it was about the present for a girl. You came to the right place! I happen to be an expert on the matter!
NokiaWhen if comes to presents for girls, you can't go wrong with accessories! ACCESSORIES!
NokiaGirls eat, sleep and breath accessories! They're a little pricey, but what about a necklace from Vivian's?
Player...
PlayerLet's discuss it back at the office.
NokiaIf you're looking for a present for a girl, they're a little pricey, but what about a necklace from Vivian's?
KyokoA necklace...? Not bad...
KyokoI think anything over a thousand bucks would hurt a high school student's wallet a bit too much.
RyotaYeah, the price is one thing...but honestly, rather than getting her something so girly...
RyotaI think it would actually be better to give her something romantic, a present that shows that I've put some thought into it.
KyokoHmm...a romantic present...
KyokoI know I said I wouldn't ask too many questions, but I have one for you now...
RyotaHuh? What are you talking about?
KyokoYou know she's just getting out of the hospital. Why are you so concerned with getting her such an amazing present?
PlayerThis...this is a chance for me...for me to tell Sakura...to tell her how I feel.
Kyoko"Tell her how you feel"? Hmm...and what exactly would that be?
RyotaWell, I mean...you know...that I...that I love her...
KyokoLove? ...Love!? ...You like this Sakura girl?
RyotaWell of course I do! Why else would I want tell her how I feel!?
KyokoI see...but, why do you like her?
RyotaWell, I don't really know... I guess I just can't leave her, and I want to be with her...
KyokoOh... "I'm Ryota, I'm the only one who can protect you, Sakura!"
Kyoko"I'm the only one who can protect you Sakura!"
"I'm the only one who can protect you Sakura!"
"I'm the only one who can protect you Sakura!"
RyotaWait, hey! Stop that! Stop saying that! STOP IT!!!
RyotaEnough already! ...That's it, now do what I hired you to do!
KyokoHahaha... He really is such a self-conscious teenage boy...
KyokoBut he's an honest kid. We should definitely keep helping him.
KyokoWell, then...
KyokoHmm, a romantic present... I think you need to go looking for a romantic friend of yours and ask their opinion about this. What do you think?
KyokoSo, a romantic friend...
PlayerHow about Arata? Maybe Yuuko?
KyokoWell... I think she is more passionate than one would expect, but she's not the romantic type.
KyokoExactly... You wouldn't think so, but I'd say he's quite the romantic.
KyokoI think he is in Akihabara...
KyokoGo and ask him about a romantic present.
Ryota...I'm the only one who can protect Sakura!
KyokoIt seems Arata Sanada is in Akihabara right now, so go and ask him what his opinion is on romantic presents.
Arata...Huh? You're looking for a romantic present for a girl?
ArataRomantic!? Pff, that's kinda old-fashioned, don't you think?
Arata...Anyway, why are you specifically asking me this?
ArataHuh? I'm a romantic? What are you talking about!?
ArataWhat? You're here at Kyoko's behest? I can't think why she would say such a thing...
ArataHmm... Romantic you say...
ArataThat's it!
Player!?
ArataHow about something like poison and a dagger?
Player!!!
ArataWhat's with the face? It would be such a romantic present!
ArataYou know, like Romeo and Juliet? You've heard of them, right?
PlayerI know about them but... I don't know about them... I don't want to hear this...
ArataIt's one of Shakespeare's tragedies. It's about the forbidden love of Romeo and Juliet...
ArataRomeo thinks that Juliet has died so he drinks poison and kills himself...
ArataBut Juliet is actually alive, and when she sees that Romeo is dead she takes a dagger and sticks it in her own heart.
Arata...So what do you think? Romantic, right?
ArataWell, I don't know. There's just something touching about such a profound and dramatic gesture...
ArataIt's a romantic present and that's that!
Player...
PlayerI'll discuss it back at the office.
Arata...
Arata...
Arata...
Arata...Bwahahaha! It's a joke! Just a joke!
ArataYou're the one who labeled me a weirdo. I was just getting back at you!
ArataHmmm...a romantic present...
ArataHow about a ticket to a theme park?
ArataHave you never heard that memories are better than possessions?
ArataRide the rides, see the parades, kiss underneath a starry sky...
Arata...Girls like that kind of stuff, right?
Player...
ArataIt's a romantic present and that's that! You should read Romeo and Juliet some time...
KyokoWow... Going to a theme park, kissing under a starry sky... Just as I thought, he's quite the romantic.
KyokoWhat do you think? Should they enjoy a date at a theme park?
KyokoI just can't picture it, myself...
KyokoAlso, did you know that Juliet was only 14 years old when she stuck the dagger into her chest?
KyokoI know it's supposed to be set in ancient times, but I have never really liked how young the characters are in that story...
RyotaHmm, uh, a date...a date...
RyotaI feel like going on a date should be the next step. First, I'd like to get her a present that really grabs her.
KyokoHmm... You sure do have a lot of conditions...
RyotaActually, I've been thinking. I'd rather the present wasn't too unusual...
RyotaSomething simple but elegant!
KyokoHmm... Actually, you have a good point there, but "simple but elegant" is a bit ambiguous.
RyotaOkay then, I've got to go to my job! Please go on, I'll speak with you later!
Kyoko...It's the third time he's done that. I guess I should be used to it by now, but I don't get why he keeps leaving us to do all the work!
Player...
PlayerSo...Yuuko?
KyokoYeah, it looks like she's at Kamishiro right now...
KyokoPlease go and ask her about something "simple but elegant." She should be able to tell you something useful, anyway.
KyokoSo, something "simple but elegant"...
KyokoShe's not "simple," but there's only one friend of yours who I can think of who could give you that kind of advice...
KyokoHuh? Weren't you going to go and ask Yuuko Kamishiro about a "simple but elegant" present?
Yuuko... ...What are you doing here?
YuukoHuh? You're looking for something simple and delicious, or...?
Yuuko...Oh, sorry.
"Simple and elegant." My bad.
"Simple and elegant." My bad.
Yuuko...
Yuuko...
YuukoUm, what do you mean, exactly? Please explain it in a bit more detail...
YuukoOf course, you're looking for something a girl would like... I get it now.
YuukoBut... I don't think that's the best plan...
YuukoFor starters, it's a present for someone that's been picked out by someone who doesn't know them.
Player!?
YuukoThe gift-giver needs to think about what the recipient might like...
YuukoWhat might make her happy. Think seriously, consider it, ponder it, mull it over and then choose the best possible present...
YuukoThat's what giving a present is all about.
YuukoIt's not what you get, it's the time and energy spent thinking about what might make the other person happy. That's the present's true value.
Player...
Yuuko...Huh? Me? What would make me happy?
YuukoHmm, that's a good question...
Yuuko...
Yuuko...Onigiri!
Player!?
YuukoThat's what I'd want, onigiri...made with love. A nice big onigiri...
Player!!!
Yuuko...What? ...Onigiri's no good?
Player...
PlayerTime to go back to the office and report back to Kyoko.
YuukoPlease tell this client who can't decide on a present to think as carefully as he can about the person he wants to give the gift to.
Yuuko...I still think a lovely, warm, delicious onigiri made with love would be a good present...
KyokoShe said that the time spent thinking about the best possible present was the true gift? Hmm, she has a point there...
RyotaWooooooow! Of course! That's it! That's exactly what I should do!
RyotaI'll think about it, seriously and on my own! I'll think about what would make Sakura happiest!
RyotaOkay! Thanks, Player and Kyoko! Woohoo!!!
Kyoko...
KyokoDoes he really need to go off running and shouting like that...?
KyokoAnd where the hell is he going, anyway?
KyokoYouth is wasted on the young.
Player...
KyokoSo full of youthful vigor...
