It's Riki's... my son's birthday.
Shinzo-san was probably always thinking about Riki-kun.
Ridiculous...what good is it now...
Yeah?
What?
Riki's disappeared?
This is very hard for me to say, but I need you to return the 100 million yen as soon as possible.
What?
What do you mean I have to return the 100 million yen as soon as possible?
Simply put, we're in a financial crisis.
What's that?
Do you mean that Miracle is going to go bankrupt?
As an offshoot of our main game business, we have high hopes for a new attraction-style game.
However, because of the recession, many of our sponsors are pulling out of the project.
If it fails, we'll suffer heavy losses.
But that has nothing to do with me returning the 100 million!
I knew it...
"If Miracle goes bankrupt, I will immediately return the 100 million yen" is in the contract.
I never heard about that...
Actually, tomorrow we're having the final presentation in front of our sponsors.
We'll have you give a speech in front of them there.
Tomorrow? Me?
Everything is riding on this speech.
No way, impossible...
"Work as Acting President at Miracle to continue its development."
It's in the contract.
Well, please relax a little.
We've already written the speech out for you.
The fate of our company rests with you.
Man, I'm starting to feel sick. I'm leaving.
Tomorrow? That's quite sudden, isn't it?
And? What's your business here?
Who sits in this chair now?
Since none of his sons made it, I guess it'd be the Vice President, Iwamoto-san, huh?
For right now, his wife Chisato-san is Acting President.
Really? That's unexpected.
You actually got the board to agree to it?
Well, it was one of Shachou's last requests.
I see.
Speaking of "last requests"...
...have they discussed our inheritance yet?
How unusual for you to be interested in money, Fuu-kun.
All he'd leave behind for us would be useless inventions or something, right?
You really are just a little different than the others, aren't you Fuu-kun?
The truth is...
...often hidden in the most unexpected places.
Here's one more last request from him.
I wonder what'll happen to Miracle.
What's wrong?
I don't even wanna talk about it.
Hello, Ohkura residence.
Hey, it's Sho.
Is Riki there?
No, he's not.
I see. Thanks anyway.
Thank you for this.
What's that?
Eh?
High Power Voice.
They say that when you point this at someone, you can hear what they really think of you.
This is...
We don't know if it's real or not...
No, no!
I love you exactly as you are.
"I love you exactly as you are." Eh?
I think it's real.
I have a commercial shoot until tomorrow morning, but... I'll do my best.
Okay.
What's wrong?
Riki's here, right?
What?
Hey!
What's up with you?
So, you didn't take Riki then.
What're you talking about?
Nothing.
Hey!
Riki's gone?
Sorry for bothering you.
I've been wondering this for a while, but...
...isn't it strange to have a meeting during the day?
There's no helping it.
My bike works on solar power, after all!
There's already something wrong with a gang leader that worries about ecological alternatives.
We're one person short. Where's Nishioka?
I'm sorry!
You're late!
Sorry. I'm sorry.
What's with your hair?
I can't go to interviews with my hair slicked back like that.
Interviews?
That means...
Yes.
I've got a job!
What?
Little Gang Music?
I became a manager here.
What?
If you know someone in a band, please give me a call.
What about the meeting?
I'm sorry!
I'll be withdrawing from the team today.
What?
Oh crap, I'm late! Good-bye!
What's he thinking wearing a wig like that...
Don't you think you should start looking for a job too, Senpai?
You were fired from the host club, after all.
Shut yer trap.
You think the man who calls miracles would work a regular job?
[Little Gang Music Currently Accepting Demo Tapes Manager: Nishioka Taro]
Man, where is everybody...
Hello?
What?
The "Treasure Hunter" that our company is planning...
...is on an open-area design, which utilizes the newest in VFX technology...
...allowing people to have a "Virtual" expe... experi...
This isn't working.
I'm not going to remember any of this.
Phone! Oh, I... hot!
Sorry! This isn't what you think!
What do you want? What about the phone?
It's about the kid! Sho's...kid.
Did something happen to Riki-kun?
He's been kidnapped.
What?
Is it true they called here?
Yeah. They said they had abducted your kid.
So, what happened?
Yesterday...
...Riki disappeared from the day care center.
What're you doing?
Calling the cops.
Hey, stop that, stupid!
They said they'd kill him if we called the cops.
Look you, that's what the criminals always say. You can't give in to them.
Haven't you ever watched those 2-hr suspense dramas?
What're you gonna do if they really kill him?
Fine, I got it.
Anyway, they're going to call here again soon, right?
Yeah. But there was something...weird...about it.
About what?
The kidnapper's voice...
...it was, how should I say it...impossible, you know?
What? Just spit it out.
Yes?
Tou-chan, save me!
Riki!
I have your child.
That voice...
Shinzo-san's voice?
I knew it...
Obey the orders I'm about to give you.
If you complete them all successfully, I'll return your child to you unharmed.
Hey...
Who are you?
Your first order...
You must go to Doremi Plaza with this child's mother by 2 pm.
Doremi Plaza?
If you call the police, or fail to obey my orders...
I will kill the child.
Hey.
Hey, wait just a minute!
It can't be a phone call from...the other world... right?
I think they're just changing their voice.
But... the person didn't ask for a ransom.
If they're not after money...
...then that means that they have some kind of personal grudge against you.
I need to hurry.
Hey.
What?
I'll... be on stand-by if you need me.
If anything happens, call me right away.
Thank you.
Well...
I have to go to cram school.
Wait a sec there, brat.
Did you not witness that touching scene we just had?
We're just people who live together, aren't we?
What a cold little brat.
Akira!
What're you trying to pull?
What?
The High Power Voice.
We don't know if it's real or not...
No, no!
I think it is real.
You took it, didn't you.
The one who kidnapped Riki-kun...
...was you?

Thanks to triplez for initial timing and to TimeLesSub for hardsubbing!
GIRIGIRI FANSUBS NOT FOR SALE OR RENT
Ow, ow, ow, ow...
What?
In a place like this?
Riki-kun...
Are you okay?
This is just a voice changer, isn't it?
I could tell just by looking at it.
Do you understand what you've done?
That's not right!
I asked him to do it.
What?
A fake kidnapping, huh?
What was he trying to do?
He wanted Sho and his ex-wife to get back together again.
Hm? What does that mean?
I guess he thought if he could get Sho and his ex together so they could talk...
...they might start getting along again.
That's really foolish.
He's just a little kid. He can't help it.
Eh?
No way, no way...
Did that make her hate me?
Hey...
Does she hate me?
I wonder why the 6th son decided to help him.
He said he "didn't know why."
Why are you doing this?
I don't know.
But...
My parents completely forgot about me too.
When I think about what he must be holding on to...
I just couldn't be angry with him.
Then you should help him out too.
What?
Hey, don't just say stuff like that!
Be quiet.
What do you mean?
Look, you just gotta set the kid's parents up.
That what I thought as well.
Why don't you set up some situations that'll make them want to get back together, Chisato-san?
Why would they take Riki?
We're running out of time.
We have to grab a taxi quickly.
It's your fault!
Huh?
This happened because you weren't looking after Riki properly!
I couldn't help it! This started at his daycare!
That's not what I mean!
You forgot Riki's birthday, didn't you?
You're like that with everything.
You never tried to understand anything about Riki!
What do you know?
I know plenty!
The only reason you took Riki was because you were rebelling against Shinzo-san, wasn't it?
You thought yourself that you weren't cut out to be a dad, but you were being stubborn!
That's not true.
If I had known this would happen...
I would've taken Riki back a long time ago.
How can you talk about other people?
You were bleeding me dry, demanding alimony, and enjoying every second of it!
You treated Riki like a pawn, so don't you talk down to me!
That's not true!
You don't understand anything!
[From the Kidnapper]
[Travel by tandem bike.]
Huh?
Alright.
I wonder if it would've been better not to use "kidnapper" for ourselves.
Why did you suddenly decide to help us?
I'm the same as you, I think.
I don't know.
But, I kind of want to take a gamble on this.
Is it true that the Acting President is going to give a speech?
Yes.
And I'm prepared for whatever happens.
We'll just have to see if she'll work out or not.
It's red!
Is it true that Sho's child was kidnapped?
It's a little late to be asking...
I can't help it! I was at a shoot for a commercial!
Huh? Where's Chisato-san?
Why're you adding a "-san" to her name?
Hey, watch it! You can't just stop like that.
I didn't mean anything in particular by it.
You really do have the hots for Shortie, don't you?
- Huh? - Really?
No.
I see.
I said, "no!"
Hey...
That sounded like a scream just now, right?
Did it? Wasn't that just Inoue-san?
Or maybe, one of the basement ghosts touched Shortie.
Ridiculous.
What basement ghosts?
In this castle, there's a basement which isn't noted in the guidebook...
They say there are ghosts down there!
They say screams are proof that someone just got touched by one of them downstairs.
That's stupid.
What're you scared of?
I'm n-not scared!
But really, where did Chisato-san go?
Hey now...
You too?
Huh? What do you mean...
Listen.
Look you two...The girl was that stupid old man's bride.
What's so good about her?
I just don't get it at all.
I said it's not like that...
H-hey...
Pedal properly!
I am!
You need to match my timing!
Hey...
Will Tou-chan and Kaa-chan be friends again?
I wonder...
But, I do think they'll be able to talk about a lot of stuff.
Yes?
Have you memorized the script?
About that... I just can't seem to remember all of the words...
I'm counting on you.
This project is the last one Shachou drafted.
Shinzo-san did?
The real purpose of this attraction is...
...not a "treasure hunt," but a "family hunt."
Well...
Please do your best.
Family hunt...
Does it seem like the speech will go well?
You really do appear unexpectedly. You're like a ghost.
Are you scared?
I'm very scared.
[Put your faces in the cut-out stand, and get a picture of you both smiling.]
What?
What is this?
We've got no choice, we've gotta do it.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, you in the silver...
Would you mind taking a picture of us?
Just push the middle button.
They've just arrived at the cut-out stand...
...and put their faces into them.
Okay!
I'll send it now.
Wow, they're not smiling...
Thank you.
It's fine.
[You're not smiling. Take it again.]
You've gotta be kidding me!
Come on! Just smile properly!
How can I smile in this situation?
It's for Riki, isn't it?
Excuse me...
Excuse me... Yes, you.
Would you mind taking our picture?
Make sure to smile.
I know.
Here we go! One plus one equals...
Two...
Thanks...
Okay, looks good.
Yeah.
Well?
It's been a long time since I've seen them smile together!
Is something wrong?
Well...
I was just thinking that a "Family Hunt"...
...might be something like this.
Where are you going?
I just thought of something good!
It's not on the map.
Amazing! One-handed...
This is just the beginning.
When you get to my class, all you have to do is want it and it'll come off.
What d'ya think? Respect, right?
I wonder if Sho's son is okay...
Guess that means you're not impressed...
If you can't do this, you can't say you've cured your fear of women.
Okay. Bring it!
Delivery!
Hey! This isn't, um...
I didn't see anything.
She saw everything, didn't she...
It's here, it's here!
A guitar? Why'd you buy it?
I thought I'd make a demo tape.
Why? Can you even play guitar?
Don't underestimate me.
Hey, didn't that sound just like Satoru's voice?
It's your imagination.
No, but it came from the basement!
Don't tell me you still believe that ghost story stuff.
It's just a made up story.
That stupid old man made it up!
Now, Ohkura Takeru's recital will now start.
[The 6th Doremi Plaza Karaoke Competition]
They're here!
Chisato-san!
Why are you here?
She could be out to ask me on a date...
I'm going to film them with this.
Hello?
No. Not yet.
Yeah...
Thanks.
I'll call you when we find Riki.
Yeah.
The guy who was at your apartment?
Yeah.
Does he know about Riki?
He says he'd like him to live with us.
Hello everyone!
Thank you, thank you!
Anyone here in the audience can participate in the competition!
Gender and age don't matter.
And, of course, duets are more than welcome!
Now! Those who'd like to sing, please come up to the stage!
[Participate in the Karaoke competition going on at the plaza as a duet and win.]
Making us play these stupid games!
Alright, the married couple over there!
We're not married.
What was that?
Forget it. It's nothing.
Then please come up to the stage!
Here you go.
Your names?
Ohkura.
Now, let's have them both cut loose!
The Ohkuras, with...
"Lonely Chaplin!" Go ahead!

Ooo...
It's perfect!
Alright! With this tape I'll have a miraculous debut!
Then, on FNS Kayousai, Yamakawa Yutaka and I will become a miraculous duo! Right?
Huh? Masaru?
Come to think of it, Satoru hasn't come back either.
What?
Masaru?
Could it be... the ghosts?
It's a good thing only one team competed.
But wasn't there something strange about that song?
I thought so too.
That song was the reason why we started dating.
They forced us to sing it as a duet at the school festival...
What're they talking about?
I don't know whose making us do it, but having to sing in front of people...
You've always hated it, haven't you?
Well, it's for Riki, so there's no helping it.
I always tell Riki to pick up trash if it's in his path.
You really are a dad, aren't you?
Of course, I can't forgive that stupid old man.
But, that's not enough to make me want to raise a kid.
Actually...
Shinzo-san saying those things to you...
There was a reason for it.
What?
When I was pregnant...
Sho...
You said, "How can I be a dad when I don't know what a family is like?"
You were worried, weren't you?
My parents were against it too.
But I wanted to have the baby, no matter what.
So... I asked for his advice.
You talked to him about it?
At first, he didn't say anything.
But...
...later, when you told me what happened, I understood.
Shinzo-san...
He said he'd test how serious you were about everything.
That's why...
He deliberately said something so hateful...
It's impossible for you.
Abort the child.
What're you talking about? That's impossible!
The three years before we broke up...
How do you think we survived when neither of us could find jobs?
You had your savings...
Every month...
Shinzo-san deposited money in our account.
Shinzo-san...
...wanted me to keep it secret from you.
Until you stopped hating him...
Until you began to understand what it was to be a father...
He asked me not say anything to you.
The person who worried for us the most was...
Shinzo-san.
It's not in the guidebook!
Okay...
Huh?
[This is the last order. Win a doubles table tennis match.]
Man, today's a great day for table tennis...
Yeah! It makes me want to play a doubles match!
Ping-pong-pang! Ping-pong-pang!
So basically, you all teamed up on this, huh?
Well, to be exact, Satoru and I came in after it started.
We heard about all of it from Chisato-san by phone...
So, how's everything going?
Wait, why are they playing ping pong?
She said she wanted to show Riki-kun...
Different faces of his parents...
Chisato-san is like us. She doesn't have a lot of good memories of her parents.
What she remembers...is them worried about money...
...or when they were upset about things. She said those are the only kinds of memories she has.
She said if she had seen different faces of her parents...
...maybe she would've been able to smile more at them.
And, if she had, maybe her parents would've smiled and laughed more with her too.
That's what she said.
Impossible.
You guys understand, right?
The relationship between parent and child isn't anything that pleasant.
I wonder if that's really true...
I mean...
Maybe it's just that we've never known it that way.
I'm gonna go take a dump.
We agreed to help with what Chisato-san's trying to do. Do you want to help too, Takeru?
That's stupid.
I...
Something just wiped my butt for me.
The High Power Electronic Butt-Wiper.
Those terrified screams were because of this?
All right...
We won...
We won!
Riki will be able to come back to us now!
Yeah.
Wow, you guys are sure strong, eh?
Yeah.
There aren't any ping pong tables at the Net Cafe after all.
What?
Huh? Could it be you recognized...
Something wrong?
No...
Let's go see Riki.
Yeah.
Riki's here?
Probably.
Riki!
Riki...
I'm so relieved...
Cut!
Okay!
Okay, we got a great shot!
You got it, right?
I'm leaving.
Wait just a sec.
You can go outside?
Yeah.
What is it, Director?
Take this. It's my demo tape.
Here.
Fine.
What're you trying to do?
Don't get the wrong idea.
The mastermind behind all this is your brat.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
He wanted you guys to get back together...
...so he made time for you to be together.
Sorry.
Riki...
Your mommy and I...
We can't live together anymore.
Told you so, didn't I?
Parent and child... This is all it is.
But, I've already started this.
I'll see it to the end.
If you want him back, you'd better follow.
Hey, where are you going?
Until you get him home, he's still kidnapped.
Okay, start! And now, running away!
Where are we going?
You were right.
What?
I didn't understand...
...anything about Riki.
The Acting President isn't here yet?
It's time.
Well... Panicking isn't going to solve anything.
Hey, you!
Hey, you, stop! Hey!
Come back here!
Hey you, stop right there!
Did you memorize the speech?
It's perfect!
Thank you for waiting, everyone.
We will now begin our presentation about Miracle's newest attraction style game.
Simply put, the "Treasure Hunter" attraction is a treasure hunt...
What's going on here?
You'll see.
We invested 180 billion yen in constructing a set covering 550,000 sq m. to serve as the stage of the game.
It's the kind of attraction that makes you feel like you're in a Hollywood movie.
We're leaving.
Of course, we'd like couples and friends to enjoy it...
...but, more than anything, we would like families to enjoy it.
The family will work together to clear various obstacles...
That was the wish of our former president, Ohkura Shinzo, who passed away recently.
Now, we'd like Ohkura Chisato, our Acting President, to say a few words.
Um...
I don't have anything to say.
Hey. What's going on?
- You made it. - Yeah.
Instead, please watch this.
Daddy and Mommy are smiling!
I heard them sing for the first time!
They worked together, for me.
I've never ever seen them like this before!
Thank you for working so hard for me!
[You can see your parents as you never have before.]
[You can see new faces of your children.]
[And so, your bonds will deepen.]
[Wouldn't you like to go on a "Family Hunt" too?]
Hyokkori...
Hyotan-jima...
Hyokkori...
The warmth you'll feel if you just reach out...
The bond you share, no matter what happens...
All of those hopes have gone into this project.
Please experience it for yourself.
Oyaji (Dad)...
That is our concept for this project.
Thank you for working with us.
It turned out pretty good.
It did.
It's because the staff for the commercial were able to edit it together well.
Stupid. I'm the one who delivered the tapes. It's all thanks to me, right?
You're pretty mouthy for a hot-head who hasn't been outside in forever.
Shut up.
Wasn't my song kinda short?
Nope.
Shinzo-san was probably always thinking about Riki-kun.
Here.
Your birthday present.
It's from Daddy's daddy.
Really? Was he a nice man?
Yeah.
Enough to drive you crazy.
Riki...
You... should go live with your mom.
Why? Do you hate me?
I want you to go because I love you.
You'll be a lot happier with your mom.
Don't worry!
Just as my dad did for me...
I'll always...
...always...
...always be watching over you.
Once the attraction is finished...
...let's go together, the 3 of us.
Yeah.
Riki!
I never would've thought that Shachou had left behind some comments about this project...
Because he didn't.
They were from a video he shot explaining one of his inventions.
What? An invention?
The High Power Electronic Butt-Wiper.
The warmth you'll feel if you just reach out...
That thing is unexpectedly warm, you know.
The bond you share, no matter what happens.
He's probably talking about a butt and that hand.
No matter what happens, it's always there.
I see.
Let's just keep this a secret from everyone else, okay?
Man...
Not only sneaking pictures of me, but then plastering my face all over that video?
Now, now...
I demand compensation.
What?
If I can't have money, then...
Get a room ready.
There should be lots of empty ones in the castle.
Does that mean...
You're coming back?
Because I don't have to pay rent.
Another noisy one is coming, huh?
You're noisier than me!
What was that?
Today's speech should satisfy them.
Why did you lie to Chisato-san about the company being in a financial crisis?
I didn't lie.
But, even if the project was halted, there's no way the company would fold because of it.
No, there really was the possibility that we would have a financial crisis.
If we couldn't get people to trust her as Acting President quickly...
...eventually our biggest supporters would start to waver.
It's true that her being in her current position...
...wouldn't mean that the executives would automatically trust her.
Well...
That's how it is.
- Don't open it with your feet. - Shut up.
Fuu!
He's the oldest son, Fuu?
Nice to meet you, Okaasan (Mother).
What did you come back here for?
I had some business here.
What?
You guys look like you're getting along well.
Oh.
Have you all been reformed by her?
What?
I heard from Inoue-san.
You guys don't get it, do you?
That girl...
...she's doing this for money.
What're you talking about?
What I mean is...
...getting Satoru out of his room...
...saving Takeru from the yakuza...
...and trying to fix Masaru's fear of women...
She did all of it to get money.
That can't be true.
In that case...
Why don't you try asking her?
He's wrong, isn't he?
[Sonna kao shite...] Don't look like that...
[...utsumukanaide...] ...lift your head, look at me...
[...rashiku de ii to...] ...just be yourself...
[...kimi ga waratta] ...that's what you said to me with a smile

Yeah, yeah!
Woah, woah!
Yeah, yeah!

Could you leave right now?
Okay.
All of you have it wrong!
I'll be sure to return the 100 million.
Onsen?
It's now or never, huh?
He's a billionaire!
What's going on?
You're late.
Who's he?
If we're gonna do it, then we have to find it!
Wait just a minute!
You want to go to war?
Shinzo-shi would never care about that, and would watch over them.
I'm different than Shachou.
It's rotten!
Yes.
What?
