Drowning Fish Page #5

---

they exchanged emails and phone calls.

Which means?

Ishimaki has been unofficially in our sights

time and time again,

but nothing ever sticks, for lack of evidence.

But this time, Miyota had everything all planned out.

Ishimaki fell into his trap.

A trap...

He sent Ishimaki to Hosaka

to investigate the blackmailing incident.

At the same time, it seems Ishimaki joined forces with

the yakuza, and amassed a great debt with them as well.

Driven into a corner, Ishimaki...

That's pretty much the gist of it.

Is he really the kind of person

who can threaten whoever he wants?

He manipulated Ishimaki into blackmailing Daito.

I, too,

was nearly killed.

So he knew those yakuza were there earlier

and purposely had you carry that Olympic bag?

Thanks for all your hard work.

Give me the disk.

Wait, were you purposely trying to get her killed?

You were, weren't you?

- Is that the kind of person you are?!

- Don't!

Let's go. Hurry!

But you stabbed him with that disk!

There he is! There he is!

Enough with the bullshit!

He's a monster!

Why won't he stop?!

We have to run! Shirasu, please, let's go, come on-- hurry!

This is the worst! Where are we gonna go now?

Drop the gun.

I want in on the pie-throwing.

Okabe.

You know, there's something I wanted to ask you.

Ask me?

Do you think it's possible to drown a fish?

Seems your past trauma

has put a lot of nonsense in your head.

Whatever this Drowning Fish thing is,

it's got nothing to do with me.

You should've been killed

along with your family back then.

You shouldn't be alive!

Would you kill me?

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

That's why you're here before me like this.

Thank you.

It was you, wasn't it?

Wasn't it?!

Please stop this!

Butt out!

Now move.

Please, stop adding to your list of crimes.

You'll face criminal prosecution

for the things you've done!

Big talk coming from a homo!

Now wait a minute.

I won't let you call him that!

What's the big deal? Homos and fairies are people, too!

And he's a hundred times the person you are,

using a woman who trusted you as a shield

and shooting an unarmed man!

- Shirasu?

- What?

That was really badass!

If you're going to shoot, shoot.

Haven't you heard about my quick draw?

I'll blast your bald head wide open

before you can even think of slitting her throat!

Ah, sh*t!

At least keep track of how many shots you've fired,

Joe Shishido.

Get out of my way.

Now!

Okabe,

I'll let you in on something:

I've never killed anyone.

At least...

not with my own two hands.

So...

this is new for me.

Akiyoshi, dive into the water!

- You'll be safe that way.

- Huh?

- Miyota won't come after you.

- What?!

Quit your whining!

Boy.

I know why she's laughing.

Didn't even hurt.

Not even a little bit.

You wuss!

I...

I can't swim!

All right! All right! All right!

How are you alive?!

It's all thanks to my guardian seal!

The power of Kurose cowhorn!

Shirasu?

Shirasu!

Who are you calling a wuss?

I'll give Shirasu a little more time.

Aikawa, please get Okabe's gun.

- Give him more time? How?

- Please!

Thought I was gonna die!

Shirasu, you sure can hold your breath!

Well, my mother was a pearl diver, you see...

By the way,

can I ask you one thing?

What?

We breathe out carbon dioxide, don't we?

- No, we don't.

- Yes, we do! Hard to breathe with that!

- And what's more, you used your tongue!

- Really?

- No, I didn't!

- You did too!

- I did not!

- What are you complaining about?

I should be the one complaining, not you!

- I... I don't use tongue.

- I didn't, either!

Seriously, what the hell's happening to Japan?

Good question.

Come to think of it, what happened to the money?

What a waste.

And we were just about to get our hands on it, too.

What do you mean?

Don't tell me...

Hey, stop! Hands off!

Don't pretend-- not with all this in your pocket!

Oh, why not? Call it severance!

Are you OK with this, Aikawa?

What's this?

Ah! Who put that there?

Give it back.

You two...

Buy me dinner at Palette Town.

- I'm not treating a homo!

- I'm not a homo!

Wait up, you...

- Shirasu! Aikawa!

- My money!

- Give it back!

- We're in the middle of the road here!

You thief! Give it back!

You got to kiss me, didn't you, Shirasu?

Didn't you? That's 2 million alone!

It's not exactly like the book, is it.

- So Shirasu kills the guy. Then Akiyoshi stops a coup...

- Isn't Palette Town this way?

Shirasu, let's go. There's all sorts these days.

- Well, now I'm interested.

- Shirasu, Akiyoshi, come on.

- The century ended last year, you know.

- Poor thing.

So, should we go to Palette Town?

Sure, let's go and blow a ton of cash!

- Right? Right?

- Stop that!

Mr. Shiina? Mr. Kubozuka?

Good work on the movie!

- Mr. Director, sir?

- Huh? Oh, thanks.

- Let's do this again sometime!

- Sure, if our schedules allow.

Hey, you wanted to direct this, didn't you?

Well, whatever. Shall we?

Ah, hold on! Mr. Shiina!

Mr. Kubozuka! Mr. Shiina!

- Good work, everyone!

- What about the wrap party?

- Let's go.

Wait!

That was pretty interesting, wasn't it?
