>There's only four of us after a-
>Aaaaaaaah!!
>!?


p4
>What was that scream just now?
>>Nero
>It sounded pretty bad...

>Wait a minute! I can sense... someone's presence...

>That shriek came from that building opposite the mound!
>We could figure that out without you using your Toys!
>It came from behind us, after all!
>>Over here

>Somebody help! Are there any detectives here~~!?

>There's no way there'd be a detective here...
>Yeah...

>May we be of assistance?

p7
>The detectives from Yokohama, Milky Homes, have arrived!
>Yup!

p8
>If there's a case, you'll find a detective!
>We'll help you reach a solution to this incident!
>O-Of course, we'll tenderly accept any rewards.
>Tenderly...

>Detectives... They really came...!

>Alright, we've got some detectives! Now we can solve this case!
>Are you sure we should be leaving something like this to those guys...
>>Uweh...
>Ahaha...

p9
>Alright. Everybody, gather around!
>This everyone? Then let's hear everyone's statements!
>>A-Rise
>>Nicocchi's back is pretty long?
>>Harasho

>This turned into something big -nya
>I wanna eat ramen

>I'm sure her everyday behavior called on this calamity.
>Nicocchi's been like this for ages

>Nico-chan... I'll make sure to look after the Idol Research Club in your place...!
>Hey, you guys! At least try to look sad!
>>Hey now

>Now now, calm down, Kokoro-chan...

>Don't call me Kokoro-chan!
>Ow

p10
>So, any ideas on who the culprit is?
>Of course! I've already figured it out!
>>Ahem

>Amazing! As expected of a detective!
>So who exactly is the culprit?

>The answer is elementary!
>The incident took place in this club room. That can only mean one thing!
>In other words...
>The culprit is a student of Otonokizaka High School!!
>Wh-What did you say!?

p11
>Hey, why are you guys so shocked...?
>Ahaha...
>Well~
>To that degree, though...

>No! That wasn't a compliment!

>Huh?
>There's something written by Nico-chan's hand -nya
>Over here
>Could it be a dying message!?
>This is a crucial factor!

>Where? I wanna see it too

>Ah...

p12
>...

>E-Everyone! Look at this desk! There's clearly a lot of suspicious stuff on there!

>I see!!
>The murder weapon must be somewhere in here!
>Very suspicious!
>Alright, let's investigate without delay!

>Did they just nonchalantly change the subject?
>They totally did...

p13
>Well then, let's investigate these various objects!
>Anyone who's got any ideas please present their gags... I mean, reasoning in order!

>By the way, feel free to present multiple methods at once. That's the foundation of comedy!
>Did you just say comedy?

>Hmm... Reasoning, huh... Sounds difficult...
>>It's weird
>Wait, why do we have to the reasoning in the first place?
>*It's not reasoning to begin with.

>Well then. I'll start things off.

>She practised signing autographs in this book and died of a heart attack!
>>Umi~n
>>Yazawa
>She somehow managed to get a prediction from the chosen items!
>Okay, next one

p14
>Alright. I'll go next.

>You get a lot of static shock during the winter!

>I guess that would hurt, but it's summer right now!
>Oh yeah...
>Okay, next...

>>Nail clippers

>OW
>So Nico-chan had low HP to begin with?
>Next...

p15
>I'm next!

>>Water please

>Ah~ I'm so thirsty -nico~
>>Nico~<3
>Oh, she's putting on a little performance

>It's so painful
>>Empty
>Now it's too much mental fatigue?
>Next

>R...
>Rock and roll...

>That's the wrong Yazawa! Rock and roll! [TN: Most likely referring to rocker Eikichi Yazawa]
>>I wanna disappear...
>Uweeeh...

p16
>Now it's my turn.
>Nicocchi is
>No. 1 in the world
>Not No. 1
>No. 1 in the world
>Ah
>Don't blame the flower!
>Next!

>Oh no, I'm gonna be late~

>beep

>>This card cannot be used. Please check with the ticket office.

>...
>Ah~ Something like that would drive someone to death!
>Come to think of it, where'd you get that ticket gate from?

p17
>In the end, it looks like none of those methods were any good.
>There were some close ones, though.
>Just a little bit
>I didn't see the slightest bit of reasoning there...

>In that case, why don't we call on the soul of the late Nicocchi?

>Eeh!? Nozomi-chan, you can do that kind of stuff -nya!?
>Yeah, it's kind of my part-time job.
>A part-time job!? Is it that easy to communicate with the dead -nya!?

>Never mind the details.
>Mm~~ Mrrm~ Spiritu~

>al!!
>Nya!?

p18
>I just love fried rice!!

>>Nozomi
>Hey! What's gonna happen to Rin!?
>>Elichi
>And just who is that!?

>Well, she should calm down after a while.
>I wanna eat fish too!
>>A failure, huh...

>Woah! Looks like this one's possessed too!
>I can see it..! Our flower garden...!
>Ignore her.
>This happens all the time.

>Well, putting that aside, we don't even know the culprit's motive for this case.
>Hmm... This case is tougher than I thought...

p19
>Um...
>What's up, Elly? You figure something out?

>This baseball... wound up here...
>>Elly
>>Lemme see...
>A baseball? Where the heck did that come from?

>This is...
>the same ball that we were using...
>Could it be...

>Could it be...

>The culprit is...

>Case closed!

>WHAT THE HELL!!
>I'm sorry!
