First printing: April 30, 1992 CLAMP Campus Detective Team ~ CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan ~ 1.1 translated by: Minako Takahashi edited by: Kristin Huntsman %Thoughts $Flashbacks [handwritten text] {footnotes by Translator} FILE 1: Forever from the ground p. 9 NOKORU The "main event" for the "Christmas party" is "Night." AKIRA A party at night? I hope the stars are beautiful. SUOH Kaichou, we are starting to get a view. The primary candidate for this year's Christmas party, "Tokyo Tower." {Kaichou: School president. Nokoru is the President of the CLAMP Campus Elementary School Student Government. I could have just translated as president, but it just does not sound right...} p. 13 NOKORU Why does looking at the Tokyo Tower at this angle makes me want to kick it...is it because I saw "Godzilla" last night on laser disk? [CLAMP Campus Elementary School Student Government President, Sixth Grade, Nokoru Imonoyama] SUOH Opened on March of Shouwa 33 {1958}, it is 333 meters high, annual number of visitors are around 3,000,000. [CLAMP Campus Elementary School Student Government Secretary, Fifth Grade, Suoh Takamura] p. 14 NOKORU What a meaningful number with all of those 3's. AKIRA [smiling] The authorities must have loved the number "3." [CLAMP Campus Elementary School Student Government, Treasurer, Fourth Grade, Akira Ijyuin] NOKORU & SUOH [Naive] NOKORU ...Akira's chiffon cake and milk tea is delicious as usual, Suoh. [NOKORU: This richness, but not too much.] SUOH ...Yes [SUOH: The richness and the cutting edge taste.] AKIRA Thank you very much. p. 15 AKIRA But why are we using a blimp to find the location of the "Christmas Party?" NOKORU Akira, what would happen if we came to look at the Tokyo Tower on foot? AKIRA Hum. It would save some money for the school budget. NOKORU The problem at hand is not that of management. If we came to Tokyo Tower on foot, we would only be able to look at it from below. That would be an insult to those who had built it. [Wow, it's big!] p. 16 NOKORU Tokyo Tower is not just for looking up from below. Side view! Frontal view! [Not much of a difference] Diagonally from below! Etc. By looking at it from different angles, we are able to understand the intentions of the people who had built the Tokyo Tower. [AKIRA: I get it.] AKIRA Kaichou, as usual you are thoughtful. [Highly moved] SUOH %He probably thought that it would be fun. He likes to be %flamboyant. p. 17 AKIRA But wasn't last year's Elementary School Christmas Party, "Christmas Special Attraction CLAMP Campus Elementary School Around the World Ultra Quiz?" {Ultra Quiz It is basically a quiz show that involves lots of question that goes on until they end up with one person. The most famous one is Across the US Ultra Quiz. The famous line from it is "Do you want to go to New York."} NOKORU The winner gets to go around the world for a month. ["Do you want to go to New York" "YEAH-!"] Because of Akira's request to keep down the cost this year, I am thinking of keeping it within the neighborhood. [NOKORU: Hum...disappointing.] [Within the Neighborhood] AKIRA Thank you very much. p. 18 SUOH Kaichou, the Grand Observatory is in view. If this is decided as the location of the party, then the Grand Observatory would be the best for the main party location. AKIRA As usual, Takamura sempai, you already have it all researched. {Sempai Someone who has seniority.} p. 19 NOKORU %What...!? SUOH Yes. Yes, I understand. p. 20 SUOH Kaichou, we are unable to land this blimp at the parking lot in front of the Tokyo Tower, and since we have finished taking all of the photos, we should return to CLAMP Campus for now. NOKORU %A woman... p. 21 NOKORU %...is crying SUOH Kaichou, is there something wrong? NOKORU No...it's nothing. p. 23 [Foundation CLAMP CAMPUS] p. 24 [This huge campus that includes Kindergarten, Elementary, Jr. High, High, Undergraduate, and Graduate School, was created by the largest financial group in Japan, "Imonoyama" as a small learning place for the future. It is a one large "city." This campus city that houses "institutions" such as dormitories, research institutes, a movie theater, a hospital, a bank, etc.] p. 25 [Counting all of the students, professors, administrators, and aside from that, workers for the institutions and their families, over 10,000 people live or attend it. For those with talent, the door is opened without any concern about heritage or money. CLAMP Campus, famous for many that have unique, excelled talents is, on the other hand, is also famous for its celebrating side.] p. 26 GIRLS Kyaaaaa! {Scream} It's the staff from the Elementary School Student Government! p. 27 GIRL 1 It's all three of them together! GIRL 2 {actually I don't know who says most of these lines but you get the idea (I hope)} Oh, Nokoru-sama is good-looking, as usual. He's been the Student Government President since fourth grade. The youngest son of the financial group "Imonoyama" who built this campus. The financial group "Imonoyama" is grossly rich and their total assets are thought to greatly exceed the national budget of Japan. [The crest of the Imonoyama Family] p. 28 GIRL 1 And to top it all off, he has a brain that has been called upon by NASA. And he's gorgeous! GIRL 2 Though our CLAMP Campus is famous for its bargain sale of distinguished families, personalities, and geniuses, there aren't many people who can match him. [Dreaming] GIRL 3 Oh, it's not only Nokoru-sama, Suoh-san is great too. p. 29 GIRL 3 Suoh Takamura-san; he's always cool and how he's by Nokoru-sama's side with little to say is wonderful too. [He's so valiant.] His coolness, thought he's only in fifth grade, is uncommon. GIRL 4 Of course he's not common! When he was in third grade he was third class judo, third class aikido, third class karate, and third class kendo!! GIRL 5 Why are they all third class? GIRL 6 The rumor is that he lost interest in them when even the adults weren't a match for him. p. 30 GIRL 4 And to top if all off, he is at the top of his class! [GIRLS: Oh! Nice!] GIRL 7 It's not only Nokoru-sama and Suoh-san! GIRL 8 Yes! The no. 1 husband choice! Akira Ijyuin. His smile! His tender personality! The first-class cook who teaches home economics in high school almost ate his cap because of his cooking! [He can do Chinese, western and Japanese cuisine! Of course, he's at the top of his class grade-wise!] p. 31 GIRL ? The student governments have most of the power in our CLAMP Campus. It can be said that those three are the one who operate the Elementary school. [Student Government: Power, Position, Honor] GIRL ? Not even in shoujo mangas are there boys like this. GIRL ? But it's useless! GIRL ? Our student government staffs are the center of the attention of our kindergarten, elementary, jr. high, high, undergraduate, and even students at other schools. p. 32 NOKORU I sense a weird gaze. AKIRA Oh, really? SUOH So should we decide that the annual elementary school Christmas party is going to be at the "Tokyo Tower?" p. 33 AKIRA CLAMP Campus is a school that has lots of events. Entrance ceremony and the spring cherry blossom party. In the summer Tanabata. In the fall sports day and Bunkasai. {Tanabata: Occurs on July 7th. There is a whole myth about it. Basically there are two lovers who can only meet once a year, if it is clear, that is. The tradition is to write a wish on a paper and hang it on a bamboo shoot. Bunkasai: A festival that usually involves the entire school. Each class has its own "thing" that they do for it. This can include a play, a show, or a restaurant type thing.} Aside from that the individual student governments of the elementary, jr. high, high, and undergraduate schools come up with their own things, so the number of events grow infinitely. [For example the high school's Autumn's Taste Picking Festival. {look at Duklyon for this one.}] SUOH Is there something wrong? NOKORU I'm thinking of going back to Tokyo Tower again tomorrow. p. 34 AKIRA Is this year's location Tokyo Tower? So the location fee would be... NOKORU There is something that I want to be sure of. p. 35 NOKORU A sad face doesn't suit a beautiful woman. Excuse me. I am the one who saw you crying yesterday. OLD WOMAN I'm embarrassed. Where were you looking from? p. 36 NOKORU >From outside. OLD WOMAN Oh. You are very good at jokes. AKIRA How was he able to distinguish that woman's tears? Kaichou is amazing. SUOH When a woman is involved he has more powers than psychic powers. NOKORU If it is all right, will you tell me the reason behind the tears? Why you have been standing lonely right before closing time? p. 37 NOKORU I may not be able to comfort you, but it may ease your mind... p. 38 MAN What? WAAAH. MAN 2 It's only a kid!! p. 39 AKIRA WAAAH [Amazing!] SUOH Should I go after them? NOKORU It's all right. This lady seems to know the reason behind the attack. p. 40 p. 41 OLD WOMAN Everyday, someone comes to annoy me. Scary looking men sometimes come. The other day I was almost ran over by a car. NOKORU Why won't you call the police? p. 42 OLD WOMAN They are hired by my brother. NOKORU Brother? OLD WOMAN Well he is the brother of my husband. Young people would probably laugh. At the time, I was a maid at this house, and my husband was the heir. We knew we were in different social ranks, but we were in love with each other. p. 43 OLD WOMAN Even the master of the house permitted our marriage...I was really happy. But my husband's brother was hugely against it... %There were awful things, but my husband was there so I ... $(OLD WOMAN) $I'm not qualified to be your wife. $(HUSBAND) $The only bride that I want is you. OLD WOMAN %I was really happy until that day... The war started, so he had to go away for the country... p. 44 $(HUSBAND) $I will come back, please wait for me in this house. If this $house has burned down, please wait for me at the place where we $always went. I will come back by December 23, our anniversary. $(OLD WOMAN) $I will wait for you. I will always wait for you. OLDWOMAN The war ended but he did not come back. No matter how many December 23rds passed by, he hasn't come back. p. 45 OLD WOMAN This house remained, but at the place we promised, the Tokyo Tower was built... The only thing of my husband's memory that was left for me is this house. My husband's brother wants to kick me out of here. This place can still be sold for a great amount of money. He says that my husband is probably already dead, and he and I are strangers so... It's the house that I tried really hard to protect, but last week some one came in... and took the ownership of the house and the registered stamp. {sort of like a signature stamp type thing}. AKIRA What! p. 46 OLD WOMAN But because I haven't moved out yet, he sends people to scare me everyday. At least I want to be waiting for my husband to come home. If he is MIA, he might be alive. I want to believe that my husband is alive and well. If I leave this house, I cannot even wait for my husband... NOKORU Unforgivable! What kind of actions toward a woman! [He should be punished!] AKIRA How cruel! To be cruel against someone who lives alone in a house! NOKORU Suoh. SUOH Yes. NOKORU How long would it take you to give me a report for this case? p. 47 SUOH Tomorrow morning, by the time you come to school, I'll have it on top of your desk. NOKORU We promise that we will be of use to you. Please be assured, we are allies of woman. p. 48 [CLAMP Campus Elementary School] NOKORU So this is that woman's brother. Definitely not related, he doesn't look anything like her. He manages a real-estate business... He indeed has a face of a villain, this president. How is the business? [Ugly, I don't even want to look at it.] SUOH It's pretty bad. Even though he was placed in charge of the properties after her husband left, he's almost bankrupt. p. 49 NOKORU He was able to harass his sister-in-law, but didn't have a talent for business. So that's why he wants the house... SUOH Apparently so. NOKORU Akira how much is the face value of that house? AKIRA Hmmm...I guess, with a rough estimate... about 1 billion. {about $10 million} NOKORU That I can deal with with just my pocket money. Those who harass woman will pay for it with just punishment. [God damn] [All feminists.] p. 50 NOKORU I wanted to appear with clothes that more suited the situation. SUOH This afternoon we have the school activities budget meeting. AKIRA CLAMP Campus allows street clothes, so isn't it all right if he doesn't wear the uniform? SUOH Kaichou has the tendency to be gaudy. Ijyuin, since you are in charge of the budget, you would be in trouble if he appears in his normal clothes and it becomes rather noisy and we can't conduct the meeting. AKIRA You are right. [people cheering and such] p. 51 [lined up] PEOPLE Welcome, Mr. Nokoru Imonoyama. NOKORU You didn't have to come out to greet me. BROTHER No, no, it is rather extraordinary. To have the son of the Imonoyama Foundation to be the customer of our company is an honor. AKIRA It's amazing. p. 52 NOKORU [smiles] I made a phone call first. That the youngest son of the Imonoyama Foundation, Nokoru Imonoyama, wants to personally be a customer of this company. BROTHER So you are looking for a house within the city? NOKORU My own room at the Imonoyama home is becoming a bit small, so I thought that it was time to get my own house. I saw a particular house and become quite interested in it. I heard that your company was in charge of that house. BROTHER Which house is it? p. 53 NOKORU I heard that it was the house that your sister-in-law lived in. [BROTHER: Oh, oh, LUCKY-!] What a great taste... however there are many who have shown interest... p. 54 NOKORU 1 billion in cash. Unsatisfied? [BROTHER: Of course not!!] [PEOPLE: Thank you very much!!] NOKORU Well, that woman shouldn't be harassed anymore. It's the house that I bought, so they can't complain about who lives in it. So now it's the main event. Suoh, Akira, is everything ready? SUOH & AKIRA Everything's ready. p. 55 NOKORU I'm not going to waste the 1 billion. I'll have it back with double the interest. [BROTHER: Ga, ha, ha, ha, ha. The free house turned into 1 billion.] NOKORU I am sorry to call you all the way out here. BROTHER No, no, if it is the beckoning of Mr. Imonoyama... So what is the reason for today's...? NOKORU Actually... p. 56 NOKORU I really liked the presidential suite that I was in the other day. I know it is an unreasonable request, but would you give me that room? BROTHER Th, the presidential suite...!? But what are you going to use it for? NOKORU [smile] Well it is going to be my personal room BROTHER But the presidential suite...!? NOKORU How about it for 500 million? BROTHER 5...500 million!? p. 57 NOKORU It's an unreasonable demand. Of course 500 million is a proper amount. BROTHER I, I, I, I, I, I understand! I will give it to you! [500 million, 500 million...] NOKORU [smile] That is good. I'll have the cash brought to you at the company tomorrow, but I have couple of pets so I want to keep them in that room... will that be alright? BROTHER O, of course! [Please put in as many as you like.] NOKORU Pets are usually are problem between the landlord and the tenant. I'm sorry, but would you sign a contract so that there won't be any violation of the contract in the future? BROTHER I, I understand! I will sign it! p. 58 NOKORU Oh, my pets love to go for walks, so they might wander around the company, would that be all right? BROTHER It's fine! It's fine! NOKORU That is also written in the contract... BROTHER Yes! It is completely all right! With in a couple of days, a profit of 1.5 billion. My brother's house was sold for a huge amount... kids are easy to deal with! p. 59 [EMPLOYEES: KYAAA! WAAA! {Screams}] BROTHER WHAT IS IT? WHAT HAPPENED? [OH MY GOD!!] p. 60 p. 61 [Help me!] BROTHER What is this!? EMPLOYEE The presidential suite... they're from Mr. Imonoyama's room... BROTHER MR. IMONOYAMA!! p. 62 NOKORU President, what is the matter? p. 62 p. 64 BROTHER Are the animals that are wandering around the company yours!? NOKORU Yes, they are my pets BROTHER P, pets...! Please take them! NOKORU You are the one who said that I can keep pets here. BROTHER I never authorized lions and cougars! NOKORU No, you did authorize it. p. 65 NOKORU It says here... "The former authorizes any pets of the latter in the above mentioned room." You are the "former." And I am the "latter." BROTHER W...what... NOKORU And I did ask, "Is it alright if my pets take a walk around the company?" p. 66 BROTHER The contract is abolished! Get out of here! NOKORU That is truly disappointing since I really liked this room. Suoh, what is the fee of the abolishment... [truly dissapointing] SUOH It says, "If the former abolishes the above contract one-sidedly, the former must pay a fee of five times the amount of sale." AKIRA It's 2.5 billion. [2.5 billion] p. 67 NOKORU It is truly disappointing. Please deposit the fee in my account. As soon as the deposit is there, I will leave with my pets. Oh, and by the way, if you harm my pets in anyway, you will be sued. Akira, as soon as you confirmed that the 2.5 billion is in my account, give a billion to that woman. AKIRA I understand, but would he pay? That president. NOKORU He will pay. They can't work as long as those pets are there. AKIRA But they are all a good, gentle animals that we rented from the animal acting company. NOKORU [smiling] Well, if they are not scared, it won't go as the screenplay. Indeed, all of their howling and crying is great acting. p. 68 SUOH What about the case about her husband? With CLAMP Campus' information net, we probably can find his whereabouts in about a week. NOKORU No, let's not do that. He must be either dead, or have some reasons to not to come back to his beloved though the war had ended. If we do find out and it is not a good report, I do not want to sadden that lady. AKIRA That is true. Oh! p. 69 AKIRA What about the location of the Christmas party? SUOH Should we decide on Tokyo Tower? NOKORU No, let's not this time. SUOH So the reservation for Tokyo Tower is... [Canceled..] NOKORU No, keep the reservation for Tokyo Tower. December 23rd. OLD WOMAN The letter that I received from those wonderful boys... The property rights to that house and an invitation. To come to the Tokyo Tower on December 23rd, and at 10 o'clock, it should be closed by then... p. 70 OLD WOMAN Oh! NOKORU For you and your wonderful husband's anniversary we know we cannot be a suitable stand-in. p. 71 NOKORU At least we might comfort you... p. 72 OLD WOMAN Thank you. NOKORU Actually I wanted to buy Tokyo Tower as whole too... AKIRA Tokyo Tower is a special feature of Tokyo. SUOH %We have to redo the planning for the Christmas party after all. FILE 2: Sleuth P. 75 [CLAMP Campus: the Garden of the Room of the Chairwoman of the Board of Trustees] CHAIRWOMAN I have heard that our student has helped an elderly woman who was in need of help... He did not give his name, but have found out that he was a student of this CLAMP Campus by his uniform, and gave a phone call. It seemed to have been you, Nokoru-san, and the other two staff of the student government. p. 76 NOKORU To be of use to "women" is our duty. CHAIRWOMAN To have our students to help those outside the school is very promising. The secretary, Suoh Takamura, and treasurer, Akira Ijyuin; they both seems to be superior students. NOKORU They are the best that I have chosen. CHAIRWOMAN You seem to like them very much. NOKORU Intelligence, endurance, and luck. There is no one who can surpass them in any of the category. p. 77 CHAIRWOMAN There is something that I would like to request of you, trusting the staff of the elementary student government. NOKORU Anything, Chairwoman of the Board of Trustees. CHAIRWOMAN Actually... p. 78 SUOH & AKIRA What!! The list that had next year's teaching responsibilities!? NOKORU It is missing since just now. SUOH So that was the reason you were called to the room of the Chairwoman of the Board. AKIRA Next year's teaching position means which teacher is going to be in charge of which class. NOKORU That's right. Every December, the Chairwoman decides which teacher is going to be in charge of our CLAMP Campus' kindergarten, elementary, jr. high, and high schools. p. 79 AKIRA To decide the teaching positions of this school with ten thousand students must be difficult. NOKORU Yes, the Chairwoman said that it took her one week. AKIRA Wow, one week! SUOH So is she going to redo it? NOKORU No. The announcement of the teaching responsibilities to the professors is tomorrow. There is no time to redo it. SUOH But if it is lost, does she remember where she lost it? p. 80 NOKORU It wasn't lost. SUOH What? NOKORU It seems to be "stolen." AKIRA WHAT!? Th, this time it is not the work of "20 menso." Th, th, there wasn't even a notice. NOKORU No one said that "20 menso" stole it, Akira. What is 20 menso going to do with that list? AKIRA You...you are right! NOKORU Unless "20 menso" is one of our students. {To find out why Akira is a bit nervous read "20 Menso ni Onegai"} p. 81 NOKORU Wh...what is wrong? Are you sick? AKIRA N....n,n,n,n,no! It's nothing! SUOH So is there going to be a huge search? NOKORU No, the list was stolen from the Chairwoman's room, so the criminal is within CLAMP Campus. The reason behind the crime is unknown, but the perpetrator must have had his unavoidable reasons. The Chairwoman does not want to make matters worse. AKIRA I've never met her in person, but she is a really nice person. [touched] SUOH %What kind of "unavoidable reason" would lead someone to steal the %list of teaching responsibilities... p. 82 NOKORU So the Chairwoman has requested that the staff of the elementary student government finds the list and the criminal. AKIRA To search for the criminal? NOKORU And with added notes, to not to have it out in the open and do it unnoticed. SUOH %I think it is a bit unreasonable for this person to go %"unnoticed"...he attracts too much attention. NOKORU There is another note, the time limit is "tomorrow at four." AKIRA Tomorrow at four? p. 83 NOKORU The announcement to all of the professors is at four. SUOH But tomorrow... NOKORU I've already said yes. AKIRA It would be great to be help to the Chairwoman. NOKORU So let's go to the investigation as soon as possible. Before that, I need to stamp the documents that I have to be finished with by today.... [turns pale] p. 84 NOKORU It's gone! The document is gone! AKIRA What!! What document! p. 85 NOKORU The document for the plan of the elementary-high school joint play festival is gone! Maybe it was stolen... {if anyone is interested about the play read "Duklyon."} SUOH Excuse me, may I? NOKORU What are you doing, Suoh? p. 86 ["Elementary-High School Joint Play: Duklyon VS 20 Menso"] NOKORU Amazing, as usual, Suoh! You have foreseen all of my patterns of movement! So! Let's go to the scene of the crime! AKIRA Amazing! How did you know that the document was in the trash? p. 87 SUOH He usually throws away things on the desk without looking at them. If he lost something around his desk it is usually in the trash or underneath his desk, or he dropped it while walking. AKIRA So that's why Takamura-sempai always finds the things that Kaichou has lost. [Room of the Chairwoman of the Board of Trustees] AKIRA There is no one here. NOKORU To make it easier for us to investigate, it was left the same as when the document was gone. p. 88 AKIRA It doesn't seem to be in the trash. NOKORU So, so the circumstances when the list was gone... When the Chairwoman was done with the document was today at 2:13. About two hours ago. After she was done with the document, she left the room to have a late lunch. But when she realized she had forgotten something and returned five minutes later, the list was gone. SUOH And the room during that time? NOKORU It was of course empty and it was sternly locked. p. 89 NOKORU By the way, the "key" is what the engineering department of our CLAMP Campus University designed. It instantaneously reads the retina and the physical features, and only opens to the Chairwoman. AKIRA The retina pattern... isn't the retina of a human being like fingerprints and different from person to person? NOKORU That's right. p. 90 SUOH This window? NOKORU It's left as it was, so it must have been opened. SUOH But the room of the chairwoman is on the tenth floor. There are no footings on the outer walls. It is probably impossible to come in from the outside. NOKORU Even if there was an intruder, this room has countless "defense systems." p. 91 NOKORU There is no footing, so it must have been from the sky... but will probably be shot down. [NOKORU: It will be painful if you fell from here.] [SUOH: It won't only be painful.] AKIRA The list for teaching responsibilities in CLAMP Campus means that for those who are outside of CLAMP Campus it is only a piece of paper. Around 2:15... aside from the kindergarten, the elementary, jr. high, and high schools are all in the middle of class. NOKORU However, the list has no meaning to the university. AKIRA The university does not have teaching responsibilities. SUOH Hmm...but no matter how you think about it, what good is it going to be to steal the list? p. 92 SUOH What is it? NOKORU ...nothing. Chairwoman, Chairwoman you are looking at us? p. 93 CHAIRWOMAN Ho, ho, ho {laughter} as usual, Nokoru-san has a great sixth sense. NOKORU Chairwoman, there is something that I want to ask. CHAIRWOMAN What is it? NOKORU That window? p. 94 CHAIRWOMAN It is usually closed, but today it was lovely outside so I opened it. NOKORU What is the size of the list? CHAIRWOMAN About this size. NOKORU It's that thick? CHAIRWOMAN No. The thickness is about 1 mm, and the sides are 1 cm. p. 95 NOKORU, SUOH & AKIRA What? CHAIRWOMAN There seems to be a misunderstanding, the list was not on "paper." NOKORU Not on paper? [Then what??] CHAIRWOMAN I stored it on a micro floppy disk. NOKORU, SUOH & AKIRA Micro floppy disk!? [What is that??] p. 96 CHAIRWOMAN It would not be good to overlap the teaching responsibilities from kindergarten to high school, so I put it in the computer, and placed it in the micro floppy disk that our CLAMP Campus Engineering Department has developed. It is the same as this one. NOKORU O...overlap, but it is not that much to place it in the micro floppy disk... If I remember correctly, that disk has the memory of thirty 8 inch disks... [AKIRA: Wow, it's small, but it has the shape of a disk.] CHAIRWOMAN It sounded interesting. AKIRA If I remember correctly, the Chairwoman is the one who built the "Imonoyama Foundation" and this school and Kaichou's... SUOH Definitely someone who is related to him. They are the same in that they love anything that sounds interesting. p. 97 {CLAMP Campus Center Garden Cafe Terrace} p. 98 GIRLS It's Nokoru-sama. Suoh-san is great. Akira-kun is cute. AKIRA It is hard to even take a micro floppy disk out of that room. It is a completely closed room and in five minutes. p. 99 SUOH It is small, so maybe we should sweep the room one more time. AKIRA It may not be in the trash, but it could be somewhere in the room. NOKORU No, that is wrong. SUOH & AKIRA What? NOKORU The micro floppy disk was probably... p. 100 NOKORU Stolen. AKIRA Kaichou, do you know who did it!? NOKORU Yeah, just about. AKIRA [excited] Amazing! So who is the criminal? p. 101 NOKORU Instead of knowing who had stolen it, I know how it was stolen is more correct. SUOH What do you mean? NOKORU Tomorrow, we will re-enact the trick of this case in the room. AKIRA Why not now? NOKORU It is about time that the criminal is going to return to his "home." p. 102 AKIRA If we hide here the criminal is going to show up? NOKORU Probably SUOH But the micro floppy disk that contains the list is already stolen... There is nothing of importance in the room... NOKORU The target of the criminal was not the disk. SUOH What? p. 103 NOKORU What time is it? AKIRA It's 2:14. NOKORU Suoh, don't forget to take a picture. SUOH Yes. p. 104 p. 107 p. 108 NOKORU ...as you have seen. The criminal was a bird. AKIRA A bird!? NOKORU This CLAMP Campus has many wild birds. There are many forests and orchards with in the campus. Of that, one bird is flying its usual pass around 2 pm. It was attracted by the scent of this peach blossom that leaked from the open window. And as you have just seen, it took the blossom as a snack. p. 109 AKIRA But why the disk... NOKORU It must have also eaten the blossoms that had fell on the desk. And took the rest to its nest. And took the micro floppy disk that was on the desk with it. AKIRA [moved] I see! Kaichou, you are amazing! NOKORU Although it was a fresh flower, there were whole flowers that were on the desk. Birds eat insects, but, depending on the species, they also eat flowers too. SUOH Splendidly done. p. 110 NOKORU Suoh, take the photo you took to the biology department of the university. AKIRA I see, birds nest around the same species. If you take the picture of the bird to the biology department, we can find the "home" of that bird, and the micro floppy disk can't be eaten, so... NOKORU Birds leave what is unneeded piled up in their nest, so it is probably still in its nest. AKIRA Amazing! But Takamura-sempai... NOKORU [smiles] He realized it without talking. AKIRA Kaichou and Takamura-sempai are really both amazing! p. 111 NOKORU But a bird as the criminal, how elegant. AKIRA Hopefully, the bird hasn't eaten the disk. If it eats anything like that it is going to have a stomach ache. NOKORU A...Akira... [The kanji "elegant" shatters in the background] The micro floppy disk was in the nest that the biology department has searched out. AKIRA It is truly great that it was found in time for the announcement. NOKORU This is a small token of appreciation from the Chairwoman for this case. p. 112 AKIRA It's a suit. NOKORU As usual, she has great taste. SUOH But Kaichou is the one who solved this case, so we are... NOKORU No, this is also for the celebration of the grand opening. SUOH Grand opening? AKIRA For what? NOKORU This Nokoru Imonoyama had something to think about with the case of the elderly woman that we met at Tokyo Tower and the case of the disk. The world is in chaos these days and there are many "women" who are in trouble. And I have been thinking that I want to be of use to those "women." SUOH %Not a good feeling... p. 113 NOKORU That answer is finally found. SUOH %Really bad feeling... NOKORU To help all of the "women" in the world, I have decided to create a "detective team" with the members of the CLAMP Campus Elementary Student Government! SUOH %Right on target...!! NOKORU We, the "detective team," will try our best to solve various cases to achieve "happiness" for "women" and to help "women!" SUOH %Just as I thought AKIRA What should be the name of the detective team? NOKORU Let's see... p. 114 NOKORU Yes! Let's name it as "CLAMP Campus Detective Team." AKIRA It's a good name. NOKORU Let the three of us do our best to help "only women." AKIRA YES! SUOH %I think he is an amazing person, but this side of him that always %enjoy everything must be in his "blood"... FILE 3: Wander Labyrinth p. 117 [CLAMP Campus University Physics Department Research Presentation] NOKORU ...so if a time machine is impossible, then not only does it mean that time and space cannot be separated, "traveling back in time" or the fact that "time does not rewind"... PROFESSOR Marvelous logic as usual. p. 118 PROFESSOR Only a sixth grader, he himself has surpassed the physical capabilities. What kind of a mind is he going to have in the future? Should I say it is going to be interesting or scary... NOKORU ...therefore, instead of the time travel seen in Urashima effect which is a shift in time, for a time machine which is physical and SF-ish must have a energy which is faster than the speed of light.... GIRLS He's great! I resent my stupidity that I don't even understand one millionth of what he is saying, but just getting a glimpse of him makes me happy. p. 119 NOKORU And with that I would like to conclude my presentation. [GIRLS: NOKORU SAMA! KYAA-!] P. 120 AKIRA Kaichou! It was a fine job. NOKORU How did you know I was leaving from here? AKIRA After the presentation, the ladies were in a panic so I thought you would come out the back door. NOKORU Very sharp reasoning. Is there something urgent? I was going to the elementary student government meeting after this, so if you had waited at the student government room... p. 121 AKIRA Kaichou, you were watching a commercial on TV and said, "I want to eat it." I borrowed the home ec room today and made it. NOKORU The one on commercial... you mean that chocolate that has cream boule? AKIRA Yes NOKORU But that took that company six months to come up with it.. and it is only upon request... AKIRA It was done in about an hour... p. 122 AKIRA I wanted Kaichou to taste it, so I brought it here. ...how is it? NOKORU It's good! AKIRA [happiness] Thank you very much. By the way, Takamura-sempai is doing an exhibition match at the Gamera Place. NOKORU By an exhibition match, do you mean that Judo club's? AKIRA Yes. P. 123 NOKORU But Suoh is not in the Judo club. AKIRA But there isn't anyone in the Judo club that can beat Takamura- sempai... NOKORU That is true. AKIRA Oh yeah! I would like Takamura-sempai to taste these chocolates. Kaichou would you like to come with me to the Gamera Place? NOKORU Yes.... To watch over Suoh's heroic deed is a pleasure in itself. P. 124 AKIRA Kaichou, DUCK! [NOKORU: Ouch!] GIRL 1 Nokoru-sama was good looking as usual. GIRL 2 It's wonderful that he's good looking and he's also smart. AKIRA Please be at ease. The ladies have left. NOKORU A...Akira I appreciate your concern, but please be more passive. P. 125 [Gamera Place] GIRLS Suoh-san! Go Suoh-san! P. 126 REF IPPON!! {one score} GIRLS Kya-! He did it! Even college students can't match him. How good he is! AKIRA Takamura-sempai, that was amazing! P. 127 NOKORU As usual, Suoh. SUOH Why are both of you here? NOKORU Akira wanted you to taste the new chocolate, so I tagged along. GIRLS SUOH-SAN! p. 128 [NOKORU: S...Shit.] GIRLS Lucky! Nokoru-sama and Akira-kun are with him too! NO! Please wait! p. 129 AKIRA You are both very popular. NOKORU A third of that are your fans. The ladies have a hard time when their prey is slow. P. 130 AKIRA W...What happened!? SUOH He's running at full speed so it must be "that" AKIRA "That".... SUOH "Damsel in Distress." {Direct translation is 'Female Problem' but I like this much better...} p. 131 [CLAMP Campus Artificial Garden] NOKORU Mademoiselle. p. 133 NOKORU Tears are not suited for a beautiful woman. p. 134 NOKORU Excuse me. I happened to notice that you were crying. GIRL A [blushes] I'm embarrassed. Where were you watching from? NOKORU >From a top of a tree about 2 km away. GIRL A You make me laugh. NOKORU You were beautiful when you were crying, but you are the most beautiful when you smile. p. 135 AKIRA If she really knew that he saw her crying from 2km away she would be terribly surprised. SUOH His power to scope women is already beyond human. NOKORU I do not mean to be rude, but would you tell me the reasons behind your tears? Why you are crying alone in this artificial garden? AKIRA It seems to be looking like the "Tokyo Tower" two episodes ago. GIRL A But.... NOKORU Although I am powerless, I may be able to be of some help. Please, just let me listen to your story. p. 136 GIRL A My beloved "Pochi" is missing... NOKORU Pochi? {a typical name for a dog, like Rover} GIRL A There was an art assignment for ninth grade art called, "The Picture of My Pet." I simply couldn't finish it, so I was pondering what I should do. But I couldn't break the promise with my teacher to turn it in that day, so I brought Pochi with me to school. The art class was fifth period, so I decided to finish it during lunch... But I thought I might disturb other people, so I was painting in this garden and then... NOKORU It was gone. GIRL A I searched for him all day yesterday and between classes today... but Pochi is nowhere to be seen... p. 137 AKIRA How sad. NOKORU Please wipe away your tears... If the situation is such, I may be of some help. GIRL A What...? NOKORU "CLAMP Campus Detective Team" will help you. GIRL A "CLAMP... Campus"?? NOKORU An organization with a sole purpose to attain happiness for all "women." SUOH %Just as I thought. [I knew it was going to turn out this way.] p. 138 NOKORU Please let us, "CLAMP Campus Detective Team" to do the "search for Pochi." GIRL A But... this is the first time I have heard that there was an detective team on CLAMP Campus... NOKORU It was only formed a month ago. GIRL A But it will be a burden. NOKORU For a beautiful woman, hard work is also an enjoyment. So the traits of that dog... GIRL A It is not a dog. NOKORU But you said "Pochi"... GIRL A "Pochi" is not a dog. NOKORU Is it a cat? GIRL A It is not a cat either. NOKORU Then what is it... p. 139 GIRL A It is a peacock. NOKORU, SUOH, AKIRA PEACOCK-!? AKIRA She is an unusual person to have a peacock as an pet. SUOH More like "weird" than unusual. p. 140 NOKORU "Peacock" as a pet.... First episode we brought in "pets" into the realtor, second episode the criminal was a "bird"... It seems like a request that has the two mixed in... [Mysterious...] SUOH It is more correct to say that she was forced to make an request than she made one. NOKORU Did you say something Suoh? SUOH Kaichou, I did not know that you were "an expert in searching for peacocks." NOKORU Why am I "an expert in searching for peacocks?" SUOH Kaichou, you are the one that said to the young lady, "I am the best in the universe when it comes to searching for peacocks." [Oh, you were listening] p. 141 NOKORU I did not want to sadden her by saying that I have never searched for a peacock. SUOH I believe that most people in Japan have never searched for a peacock. [Don't play in your imaginary world.] AKIRA But searching would be a difficult task, since CLAMP Campus is large. NOKORU Right now I am having them look for it on the surveillance. AKIRA Are there no peacocks on CLAMP Campus? SUOH There are wild birds, but there are no peacocks. Most of the animals in CLAMP Campus are set free, and peacocks are rather violent. p. 142 NOKORU It wasn't within the range of the surveillance camera. SUOH Should we ask the CLAMP Campus Investigation Team to look for it? NOKORU But then there would be no meaning to "CLAMP Campus Detective Team." [SUOH: Yes, yes] SUOH Data that is about peacocks. I copied it at the library, but it may be of some use. AKIRA Amazing, as usual, Takamura-sempai NOKORU Indian peacock, Pavo cristatus, habits Seilon Island in India. Body length is 2.2 meters. {The name of the island is probably misspelled. Thanks for the info by the way} AKIRA It's big. p. 143 NOKORU This is with peacocks. They live by an open wooded area or river. Normally a peacock lives with 4 to 5 peahens. How immoral! Not satisfied with double timing, but to have four or five to keep! AKIRA What's "to keep?" NOKORU It's something that you would understand when you are a bit older, Akira. "Pochi" is male. SUOH It seems like it. NOKORU Our enemy is an animal, and right now it is winter, thus it probably won't find any resources, therefore there is only one course of action. There is only one way to lure out an animal that is hungry. We "tempt it with food!" p. 144 AKIRA I see, amazing as usual, Kaichou! It's a marvelous plan! NOKORU We'll place foods for the peacock on all of the main areas on CLAMP Campus, and place surveillance cameras on them. "Pochi" will be caught in no time!! Suoh, what do peacocks eat? I'll have them bring it soon as possible... SUOH It may take a little time. NOKORU Don't they sell it at a bird shop? SUOH Peacocks eat poisonous snakes and poisonous bugs. They also eat buds and seeds, but their favorite are lizards and snakes. I think it would be a problem to scatter bugs and snakes all over campus. p. 145 SUOH Anyway, it is a bird that habituates around woods and rivers, and likes warm places. I think we just have to keep an eye on those places on campus. AKIRA It was a good idea... Kaichou, it is too bad. NOKORU ...Akira's kindness seeps into me. SUOH I had them connect the images on the surveillance cameras to the Student Government Room, but it can't be found. AKIRA Did the peacock-san hibernate? NOKORU Peacocks don't hibernate. SUOH Unless it rains, it would not move, so it should still be on campus, but if it is still clear tomorrow, it will be the third day since the disappearance... p. 146 SUOH There are no traces of it going outside of campus, but if it prolongs, the peacock will become weak. AKIRA At least if it would come out to an open field or a large garden... peacock-san must be lonely being alone.... NOKORU It's an bird that normally lives with five females, it must be lonely alone. AKIRA What is it? p. 147 NOKORU Suoh, there is something that I want you to arrange tonight. SUOH What is it? NOKORU If all goes well, we should be able to meet with "Pochi." p. 148 [Next Morning] GIRL Kyaa, cute! GIRL A T...this... NOKORU To get "Pochi" out of hiding, I had all of the peahens in the zoos across Tokyo to come. "Pochi," who is in hiding, should come out, lured by the beauties. p. 149 AKIRA How in the world did he get all of these peahens? SUOH Spent a large amount of sum, of course it is all from Kaichou's pocket. AKIRA Kaichou is amazing when it comes to women. But wouldn't they all escape like "Pochi?" SUOH All of the females have a transmitter on them. AKIRA So that's how the location of the females can be found. SUOH The transmitters on the females will transmit a signal when a male is with in 100 meters of it. The only male on CLAMP Campus is "Pochi." AKIRA That's an amazing device! Kaichou is amazing as usual to come up with that in one night! SUOH If he would only put this kind of effort into the student government work I would be happy... [Life just doesn't work smoothly] p. 150 GIRL A POCHI! P.151 GIRL A POCHI! [POCHI: Master] p. 152 GIRL A POCHI! P. 154 AKIRA It is a happy ending Kaichou! NOKORU It is an emotional meeting. SUOH %Something is wrong... GIRL A Thank you very much. It was all because of you that I was able to be reunited with Pochi. p. 155 NOKORU It is an honor to be of use. GIRL A What should I give as a token of my appreciation. NOKORU Your smile is enough of a reward. p. 156 GIRL A Thank you very, very much! Splendid detectives! NOKORU This "CLAMP Campus Detective Team!" Will vow to commit themselves day and night for only women. SUOH %The student government work is going to be delayed again because %of this... FILE 4: My Fair Lady p. 159 [February 14th, CLAMP Campus] AKIRA Wow, it's a pile of chocolates! NOKORU The ladies brought them into the student government room first thing this morning. Today is February 14th, Saint Valentine's Day. It's a day where young ladies and candy makers give their best. If you think that there is the same number of love from the young ladies as the number of chocolates it is very touching. p. 160 AKIRA [smiles] As usual, Kaichou, you are really popular. NOKORU Akira, you also have no place to put yourself because of chocolates. AKIRA Is it all right for someone like me to have received this many? NOKORU It is the hearts of the young ladies, you must receive it with great gratitude. AKIRA But I have someone in my heart... NOKORU Oh, good morning, Suoh. AKIRA Good morning, Takamura-sempai. p. 161 NOKORU What is it, Suoh? AKIRA What are you pulling? It sounds really heavy. That's amazing! NOKORU When I came this morning, I was handed them everywhere... NOKORU So you were carrying it on a wagon. p. 162 SUOH A custodian lent me it. NOKORU [laughing] Valentine's Day is at it's height Akira, every year what do you do with all these chocolates? AKIRA I bring them home and have them with my mothers. NOKORU Suoh? SUOH I have it with my family. AKIRA Kaichou, what do you do with it? SUOH I eat all of them by myself. AKIRA & SUOH Whaaaaat!? p. 163 AKIRA All of this!? NOKORU I can never waste a female's love! AKIRA Kaichou, you are very kind. SUOH %The fact that eating all of these chocolate doesn't change his %weight even by one kilogram is definitely him. P. 164 [Elementary School Six Grade Class Z] GIRL Nokoru-sama, would you accept this? NOKORU Of course. GIRL I made this myself. NOKORU Thank you for putting time and effort for someone like me. GIRL It's not really good, but I made it with all of my heart!! Nokoru-sama, please have it. NOKORU If it is something that you have made, to me it is more delicious than anything made by a first rate chef. GIRL 2 By the way, Nokoru-sama, you created a detective team? GIRL 3 I've heard that you helped out a female student in the junior high school. NOKORU To be of help to women, is our duty. GIRLS That is splendid!! GIRL 4 Who are the members of the detective team? NOKORU The elementary school secretary, Suoh Takamura, and the treasurer, Akira Ijyuin. GIRL 5 Oh! With those two!? That is wonderful! GIRL 6 If I am in trouble would you help me? p. 166 NOKORU Of course. "CLAMP Campus Detective Team" is an ally to "women." GIRLS My eraser is missing since yesterday! My notebook! My highlighter! NOKORU M...maybe you should go to the school store... MIDORIKO Aren't you a bit loud!? p. 167 MIDORIKO Classroom is for studying, and not a place to make noise! NOKORU I am sorry. p. 168 GIRL 1 God, Midoriko-san. GIRL 2 It's recess right now. And today is Valentine's Day. GIRL 3 All of the classes are loud. NOKORU No, as Miss Kyougoku, said this is a classroom. I am being inconsiderate. GIRL 2 No! You are not the one to blame, Nokoru-sama!! GIRL 1 Yes, yes! p. 169 [Lunch time] AKIRA It is annual, but the chocolates for Kaichou and Takamura-sempai are amazing. NOKORU You are not that different either, Akira. Akira, this "kinpira gobou" is delicious. AKIRA Thank you very much. GIRL There they are! It's the elementary school student government members! Kyaaa!! AKIRA Sh..should we run? p. 170 NOKORU Today is the one day out of the year that ladies are able to pour their heart out with out any hesitation with an item called chocolate. If you run today, you are not a man, Suoh, Akira. AKIRA Y...yes you are right. SUOH %He is truly kind to "women," "only to women." p. 171 GIRL I am really sorry, Nokoru-sama, Suoh-san, Akira-kun. Our emotions got a better hand of ourselves and we charged into you. Did you get hurt? NOKORU If they are wounds by your feelings, than they are an enjoyment. GIRL By the way, Midoriko-san was being mean. GIRL 2 Yes. She doesn't have to say it like that. NOKORU I was the one at fault. p. 172 NOKORU A classroom is indeed not a place to make noise... GIRL 1 But Miss Kyougoku is always like that. GIRL 2 She always argues with Nokoru-sama. GIRL 3 Yes, yes! SUOH Did something happen? NOKORU Hm, something small. GIRL 4 She was like that the other day. When the fans of Nokoru-sama in jr. high brought lunch, she made them all leave by saying that they were loud and annoying and such. That time all of them were all kind so they all left without saying anything... NOKORU But Miss Kyougoku did not say anything wrong in the recent case. I was the one wrong. p. 173 NOKORU And Miss Kyougoku is a kind person. GIRL 1 Nokoru-sama, you are too easy on girls! GIRL 2 That is the great part about you though... AKIRA Kaichou has lots of troubles too. GIRLS 3 But Miss Kyougoku is mean! MIDORIKO Who is mean!? p. 174 MIDORIKO So you were all talking behind my back here. GIRLS Mi...Midoriko-san. Talking behind your back! MIDORIKO Mr. Imonoyama, you always say things that are feminist, but hiding here and talking about a girl... "an ally to females." p. 175 GIRL You are cruel, Midoriko-san! GIRL 1 Nokoru-sama wasn't saying mean things about you! GIRL 2 Nokoru-sama was standing behind you...! MIDORIKO Imonoyama-san won't stand behind a girl who is this mean. Right? [smile] p. 176 NOKORU No. You are a splendid lady. But it is true that I have hurt your feelings. Is there something that I can do as an apology? MIDORIKO [grins] You did say that you formed a detective team, right? NOKORU Yes... MIDORIKO Then let's play "detective." NOKORU "detective?" p. 177 MIDORIKO I will hide something, if you can find it by a certain time I'll forgive you for your rudeness. NOKORU What if I can't find it? MIDORIKO Hmm... let me see... I want you to resign from the presidency of CLAMP Campus Elementary School Student Government. ALL Whaaaat!! p. 178 [Student Government Room] AKIRA It's absurd to resign the presidency of Elementary School Student Government. NOKORU Hey, hey, it's not decided that I will resign. SUOH But she is an extreme person. NOKORU Miss Kyougoku? She is a bit out-going and is always in the middle of arguments in the class. P. 179 SUOH Is she always like that? NOKORU Well, she has been against me a lot.... AKIRA And, Kaichou, you were standing behind her.... NOKORU But it doesn't change that I am the cause of it. If I participate in playing "detectives," and she feels better, then that is all right. AKIRA Kaichou... SUOH Anyway. p. 180 NOKORU She said that the rules and such she will announce after school tomorrow, so we don't know if I'll resign the presidency until then. SUOH What if it is some ridiculous request? NOKORU I'll write a resignation. p. 181 NOKORU But before that! The question is how to bring home all of these chocolates. [February 15th After school in front of the Gamera Place] MIDORIKO How honorable that you didn't run. NOKORU It was a promise I made with you. [blushes] p. 182 MIDORIKO Yesterday after school, I hid "something" with in the CLAMP Campus, please find it. NOKORU What is that "something?" MIDORIKO It is in a 15x15 cm box. NOKORU And the contents? MIDORIKO It...it's no comment! p. 182 AKIRA That's absurd! Not knowing what to look for! MIDORIKO The time limit is three days from now, 6:00 pm on February 18th. However, there is a condition. NOKORU What is it? MIDORIKO I want you to look for it by yourself. SUOH Alone!? p. 184 GIRL To search for it alone on this huge campus!! That's absurd!! MIDORIKO The only person who has offended me is you, Imonoyama-san. The other members of the Elementary Student Government or the members of the "CLAMP Campus Detective Team" have nothing to do with it. NOKORU You are correct. MIDORIKO There is another. For the search, please do not use your "financial resources." p. 185 AKIRA & SUOH What!? MIDORIKO Or are you incapable of doing anything without money? GIRL Midoriko-san! You are cruel! He can't find it! NOKORU ...I understand. I'll accept the request, but there is a request from me also. GIRL Nokoru-sama!? p. 186 MIDORIKO What is it? NOKORU If I am able to find the thing that you have hid... will you "smile?" Ever since I've been in the same class as you this year, I have never seen you "smile." You always seem to be angry... so if I am able to keep the promise with you, will you "smile" for me? MIDORIKO Right now you can say that kind of nonsense! p. 187 AKIRA Kaichou, this is absurd! SUOH To find a 15x15 box on this CLAMP Campus without any clues is impossible. NOKORU I accepted her request. As a member of "CLAMP Campus Detective Team," I'll do my best. SUOH Kaichou... NOKORU So I guess I won't be doing the work for the student government for a while. SUOH %Just as I thought... [February 16th] AKIRA To search for it by himself, this is ridiculous even for Kaichou. SUOH And he can't use his pocket change. p. 188 AKIRA And even though it is three days, he has classes so the only time he can search for it is during recess and after school. SUOH But because Kaichou himself had said it, we can't help him. AKIRA He will have to quit his position if it goes on! SUOH I'm sure he didn't accept it without some kind of a chance of winning it. GIRL It's cruel!! He can't find it under those conditions! It's absurd! p. 189 GIRL 1 Nokoru-sama is not the one who is wrong. GIRL 2 Do you think Nokoru-sama will really quit!? GIRL 3 No, no-! [Library] p. 190 [Tea Club Room] [GIRLS: Nokoru sama-! He is wonderful doing anything. He's elegant even when looking beneath the tatami.] [February 17th. Class Z Six Grade] BOY Kiritsu, rei . {kiritsu: stand. rei: bow the head. Traditional Japanese way to start a class} p. 191 GIRL 1 Did you find it, Nokoru-sama!? NOKORU No, not yet... GIRL 2 Are you staying until late at night to search for it!? NOKORU Well since it is of a personal matter, I can only stay until 8:00. GIRL 3 To look for it in this cold winter weather. I feel sorry for you. NOKORU No, it is my fault that I can't find it quickly, and this is a "request." [Nokoru-sama] p. 192 [Green house] [Cafe] AKIRA Kaichou... [February 18th] GIRL Today is the last day. p. 193 GIRL If Nokoru-sama isn't going to be the president, then who is!? No, no! [Garden] p. 194 SUOH Just lending an umbrella wouldn't be helping you now would it? NOKORU Thank you. MIDORIKO Please stop! It's all right. NOKORU There is another half an hour until the time limit. p. 195 MIDORIKO It is all right to forget my stupid request. NOKORU No, I accepted your "request" so I have a duty to finish it until the end. MIDORIKO Imonoyma-san. NOKORU Kyougoku-san, is this what you hid? MIDORIKO Why... p. 196 NOKORU When human beings hide something they usually limit themselves to "places where they know" or "places where they are familiar with." "It is scary to hide it in a place that is unfamiliar." So I just had to find out your radius of movement within CLAMP Campus so it was narrowed down. MIDORIKO My radius of movement... who did you... NOKORU I know very well that you sometimes read books in the library after school and that you are in the tea club, and I also saw you drinking tea at the cafe. And... that you are the one who takes care of these gardens. I saw you from the window of the student government room being there first in the morning and taking care of the flowers. I have always thought that you were a truly kind person. So with this, will you forgive me? p. 197 MIDORIKO I'm sorry. I always like you, but you are very popular... so I wanted you to notice me... so I was always cruel to you. Inside this box is the chocolate that I wanted to give you on Valentine's Day... but I am always mean to you so I thought that you will be annoyed by it... I'm sorry. NOKORU The reason why I worked these three days is not because I wanted to make you cry. Your crying face is also beautiful, but if you forgive me... p. 198 NOKORU Please "smile" as you promised. Then will you give me this chocolate? AKIRA It's a good thing you did not get pneumonia. SUOH %He probably knows not only the radius of movement of that lady, %but of all of the female students in CLAMP Campus... CLAMP CAMPUS DETECTIVE TEAM Pirated Version by Mick Nekoi P. 200 OHKAWA All the fan of "Asuka," nice to meet you! This is CLAMP. NEKOI Thank you for reading this "CLAMP CAMPUS DETECTIVE TEAM" [Nanase Ohkawa] OHKAWA To those of you who say, "This is the first time I've heard of 'CLAMP,' we will introduce ourselves. First, I am Nanase Ohkawa. I am the author and in charge of the scripts, but I am also the leader of this group, so I also do the checking of the work and the production manager. You are next Satsuki. p. 201 [Satsuki Igarashi] IGARASHI I am Satsuki Igarashi, I help out with the tones... Nice to meet you. MOKONA By the way, I think she is one of the top three when making meals. [Apapa Mokona] MOKONA I am Apapa Mokona, nice to meet you. I am in charge of the art. NEKOI If you let this girl do anything she becomes a "Panashi-kun." {Panashi-kun: someone who does something and never finishes} [Mick Nekoi] NEKOI And I am Mick Nekoi. I do tones, background, and other assistant type work. OHKAWA So it is by a group like this, please kindly look after us. IGARASHI So? OHKAWA I would talk about why it is "CLAMP CAMPUS DETECTIVE TEAM" MOKONA Why is it, professor? p. 202 OHKAWA CLAMP loves mysteries and horror type things. MOKONA So we wanted to do a detective story at least once. [KOGOROU AKECHI {NOKORU}] The criminals are usually women and he is very popular. CLAMP likes Shigeru Amachi-san the best. [Sherlock Holmes {SUOH}] Actually CLAMP is a fan of Mr. Watson, but of course also love the quibble Mr. Holmes. [Kousuke Kindaichi {AKIRA}] In the movie it is Koujhi Ishizaka, in the TV series it is Ikkou Fruya. They were both splendid, but there is really no interaction with women so they were bachelors. OHKAWA I am a big fan of Seishi Yokomizo-sensei, and I sent chocolates and fan letters to him when I was in six grade. I even got a response from him. NEKOI That's amazing, I'm envious! But why are there three of them? OHKAWA That is because it is useful if there are kids who will work for the detective, and it is easier to move the story. IGARASHI I like it, but this is a Mitokoumon. {pretty famous Japanese jidaigeki. Takes too much to explain but basically travel in feudal Japan and solve cases and such by showing an inrow-symbol of the Mito family (related to Tokugawa family)} OHKAWA I've also incorporated Mokona's favorite Jidaigeki. {jidaigeki: any drama that has the setting in feudal Japan} Well, the topic is going to change suddenly right now.
