Izumi(The setting is… a certain luxury cruise ship.
There are six men on board who are each searching for a woman.)
(The beginning goes…)
Kaito“Excuse me. Have you seen a woman with long hair who’s about this tall?”
Passenger AEhh? No, I haven’t seen them.
Kaito“I-is that so? Please excuse me…”
Passenger AThat was a surprise…
He started a conversation with us…
Passenger BAre we a part of the show too?
Izumi(They’re trying a new staging approach that involves the regular guests… and it looks like it’s going smoothly.)
Kaito“Hello, excuse me. I’m looking for someone. Have you seen a woman with long hair and who’s about this tall?”
Ritsu“No… are you trying to find someone too?”
Kaito“Too, you say… could you be as well?
Ritsu“Yes. In fact, I am.”
Izumi(At another location, they’re…)
Kyou“Are you searching for someone?”
Shiro“Indeed. And you as well?”
Kyou“I invited a lady on this luxury cruise ship in order to thank her, but she didn't show up at our meeting spot…”
“I thought she might have boarded first, so I’m looking all over.”
Shiro“I'm meeting with the person I scouted here on this ship.”
“She sounds like a busy person, so it’s been hard for us to find the time to meet.”
“But she told me she has business on this ship today, so she could spare some time on board. And well, here I am...”
Kyou“The ship is huge, so I guess it might be pretty difficult to find them…”
Izumi(We’ve installed live-viewing cameras along the interior so you’re able to watch the different locations. It’s going well so far.)
(In yet another spot, they’re…)
Towa“What seems to be the problem?”
Kei“…O-oh, no. I’m just looking for someone.”
Towa“Oh my, what a coincidence.
I’m searching for someone too.”
Izumi(The play here has started as well. Their timing is spot on.
Even so—)
…?
(I feel like I'm making a lot of eye contact with everyone who’s in the play…)
Towa“If you don’t mind, shall I help you?”
Kei“Ehh? N-no need.
It’s a personal matter, so I don’t want to involve anyone else…”
Izumi(The other four men, who are each searching for someone, also gather in the same area...)
Kaito“Are you guys trying to find someone too?”
Kei“Us too… eh?”
Ritsu“We are on the lookout as well.”
Kyou“All of us are searching for someone—how mysterious.”
Shiro“What kind of person are you guys looking for?”
“This is a stroke of fate.
Why don’t we work together as fellows in the same situation?”
Kaito“Good point. We might be able to locate them faster that way.”
“I’m trying to find my younger sister who I’ve been separated from.”
Shiro“Separated from…? That’s a big deal.”
“I work for an entertainment agency.
I’m meeting with the person I scouted on this ship.”
Kyou“I’m looking for a lady who saved my grandmother when she got sick on the train.”
“She should be on this ship, but…”
Ritsu“I… came on this ship to ask my lovely girlfriend to marry me.”
“I gave her the cruise ticket without letting her know I’m going to propose.”
Shiro“Proposing on a luxury liner, hm?
It’s just like a movie. How romantic.”
Ritsu“But I can’t seem to find her…
And my phone’s not connecting so it’s been rough.”
Kyou“Everyone has their own circumstances, huh?”
Kaito“What’s the reason you two got?”
Kei“You see… it’s a personal matter, so…”
Towa“It’s not something I can tell anyone either.
My apologies.”
Passenger CIt’s incredibly realistic.
Passenger DFor real. It’s like we’re inside the play.
Passenger CI wonder why those two can’t reveal their reason?
Maybe we’ll find out if we follow them.
Izumi(That’s great. It looks like the guests are enjoying it too.)
???…Um, excuse me.
Izumi…?
Ritsu“—So, what are the traits of the person you’re trying to locate?”
Kaito“She’s a woman in her 20s. Long hair.”
Ritsu“What a coincidence. My partner is a woman in her 20s with long hair as well.”
Kyou“Same with the person I’m looking for.
Her hair is light in colour, and her bangs are parted at an angle…”
Shiro“How curious. The candidate I’m meeting with is a woman in her 20s with long, chestnut-coloured hair.”
Ritsu“She likes to wear casual clothes and she always carries a red bag.”
“I think she’ll be dressed differently today though.”
Kyou“The lady who helped my grandmother also had a red bag with her.”
Kei“…Wait, don’t tell me—was it the type of bag you sling across your body?”
Kyou“Yes! It was!”
Kaito“My sister always wore a red, crossbody bag that our mother bought her when she was little.”
Kei“Could it be, the woman all of us are chasing after is—”
Towa“…It appears they are one in the same.
So, in other words—.”
Masumi…!?
She’s gone…?
Kei“Should we split up and search? I mean, we’re tracking down the same person anyways.”
Towa“…! Right, good call.”
Towa“…There she is! Over there!”
Kei“We found her…!”
Towa“Let me handle it from here.”
Kei“B-but…”
Towa“You’re trying to get revenge on her, aren’t you?”
Kei“How did you…”
Towa“I am a detective. I have that much information on hand.”
“I dare say it’s not a coincidence that the six of us who are all searching for the same woman have gathered here on this ship.”
“Perhaps it was her plan to lure us all aboard to sink us all at once.”
Kei“N-no way…”
*door opens*
IzumiEHH? W-what!?
Workers…!?
Towa“You two were about to be deceived as well.”
WorkersEhh!?
Towa“This woman is a wanted con artist.”
“I’ve got you now. There’s nowhere left to run.
I’ll ask you to come along with me quietly.”
“…I think this counts as revenge in your place, doesn’t it?”
Kei“Ah… thank you very much.”
