It's like we were competing over how much we could eat. [Soyeon] ふいい……あたしももう入りません。 >Fuah....I can't fit anything else either. [Soyeon] あたしもけっこう食べる方ですけど、杏里さんには…… >I'm someone who eats a lot, but compared to Anri-san...

[Soyeon] あの、あたしがお願いしたいのは、探偵助手なんです! >Um, what I want for you to be is a detective assistant! [Soyeon] あっ、あたし……勢いにまかせて…… >Ah, I...got carried away... [Soyeon] 助手だなんて、失礼ですよね。でも、とにかくお力をお借りしたくて! >Calling you an assistant is rude, isn't it? However, putting that aside, I want to borrow your strength! [Soyeon] どうかあたしと一緒にレ……、レイプ事件の犯人をさがしてほしいんです。 >Please, I want you to find the...perpetrator of the rape incidents together with me. [Soyeon] お願いします、杏里さん! >I beg of you, Anri-san! [Narration] ソヨンは膝に額がつくほど体を折っておじぎした。 >So-yeon bowed, bending her body to a degree where her forehead touched her knees. [Soyeon] あたし、どうしても犯人を見つけたいんです! >No matter what, I want to find the criminal!

[Soyeon] だ、だめですか?それなら名探偵ポワロのヘイスティングス大尉でも、ネロ・ウルフのアーチー・グッドウィンでも。 >Wo-won't you? If you won't, then even the famous detective Poirot's Captain Hastings, or Nero Wolfe's Archie Goodwin is fine.

[Anri] きみにはボクの小林少年になってほしい。 >I want you to be my Kobayashi Kid. [Soyeon] えっ? >Ehh? [Narration] 杏里は腕を組み、顎に手をやって笑った >Anri folded her arms, putting her hand at her chin, and laughed. [Anri] というか……つまりボクらは二人とも探偵の助手になるんだ。 >I mean...In short, both of us will be detective assistants. [Soyeon] あれ、じゃあ、いちばん肝心の探偵は? >Huh, then, the most relevant detective is? [Anri] ふふふふ。ホームズもポワロも、明智探偵だってかなわない名探偵を紹介しよう。 >Fufufufu. Let me introduce a detective that Holmes, Poirot, or even Detective Akechi can't match. |
