Damn!

Damn! Lousy thief! Where'd he go?

Hey, there he is!

Wait!

That's strange.

Where could he have got to this early on a Sunday morning?

Skipping his breakfast no less.

Usually, he has no problem sleeping in till noon.

Excellent, I'm her first customer today too.

At this very instant,

Hisako Washio is waiting just inside the door ready to greet me.

A pure and innocent relationship like one in my distant youth.

Oh, the joy of the touch of that mokkori beautician!

Is something wrong, Mr. Saeba?

Well...

Please understand that my daily visits

do not arise from motivations of an untoward nature.

Is there something untoward about you, Mr. Saeba?

No, I just thought you might think I'm strange coming here everyday.

Not at all, you're just particular about your appearance, Mr. Saeba.

Yes, that's it. I'm just particular about my appearance!

Sometimes people misunderstand that point though.

Where should I cut your hair today?

Yesterday was the back, so why not the front today?

Okay!

There he is again, Ichiro.

I know what he's after. Just look at how he's looking at our sister!

Ichiro, it's really hard making my eyes do like his.

Dummy, don't copy him! You'll end up being just like he is!

He's a bad man!

He's bad? Let's get City Hunter's help then.

That mokkori maniac guy isn't worth City Hunter's time.

We'll handle this ourselves.

Just a little more...

Hey, mister, want my help?

Hey, that's mighty nice of you.

Think I can be like you?

Why sure.

Okay, here I go.

What's going on?

Ow! Ow! Hot! Hot!

Yeah! We did it! We did it!

Hey! Ichiro, Jiro! That's no way to treat a customer!

I'm so sorry, Mr. Saeba. Are you okay?

Are those your children?

Of course not! They're my brothers!

Silly!

I'm so sorry!

Don't worry, I'm used to it.

Hold it! I almost forgot!

Now, I'm ready.

I'm home!

Wow! That looks good!

Where have you been?

At the library, as you can see.

The great philosopher Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason."

I went to check out this very difficult book.

You stood outside the door mussing your hair because it's difficult?

According to Kant, when one critiques reason purely,

one's head starts to itch.

Please excuse me, Kaori. I must now go peruse this volume.

I cleaned your room, Ryo. Hisako Washio sure is pretty.

To what are you referring?

This.

Oh, no! The photo I've kept close to me every night.

I left it on the bed!

Try critiquing your mokkori perversion!

That's how it goes. It's a miracle I'm still alive.

Sure you're telling the truth about where you say you hid it?

Yeah, it's true! You have to believe me!

I believe you.

Even a punk thief like you

wouldn't like to be watching sunrise from the bottom of the sea,

now would he?

Stop! Stop, or I'll shoot!

I've been shot...

You made a fatal error when you decided to take on City Hunter!

This time it's my turn to be City Hunter, right?

You dummy! You can't be City Hunter cause your dead.

I'm going home then.

Okay, okay, I'll let you be City Hunter.

Really?!

Yeah, but after I get killed three times, we're switching again.

I've been hit!

Are you okay, Ichiro?

What's that?

Look at all those bundles of money!

We're going to be rich, Ichiro!

That's stupid.

This is money we found so we have to take it to the police.

That money belongs to me.

Where is the proof that this is your money?!

Proof? What's that mean?

I'll tell you later!

Unfortunately, I forgot to put my name on it.

If you'll return it, why, I'll give you a reward.

He says he'll give us a reward!

Dummy, look at their faces. Those have to be the faces of bad guys!

Returning what's been lost to the owners is just good manners, brats.

Hey, wait!

Forget him, he's just a thief! What's important is the bag.

Let's go, Jiro!

Brother, wait!

What are you waiting for?! After them, and don't lose them!

Run faster! They'll kill us if they catch us!

Come on! Hurry up! Come on!

Wait you little punks!

Hey, wait! We want the bag!

No good! Can't get out!

Sorry, Boss. They got away through a brat-sized hole in the wall.

What a completely useless pair of individuals you are.

At any rate, we know their names now.

I'm sure they're just kids from this neighborhood anyway.

Ichiro, what's going to happen to us?

We saw their faces.

Even you know, don't you? What the bad guys do to witnesses?

But I'm hungry.

Yeah, me too. Why don't we figure out what to do next after we eat?

Sister, we're starving!

What's wrong?

Ichiro, look! A robber's been here!

No, it was them!

How do you know?

See, it's written over there!

"Bring the bag you stole back to the building at ten o'clock.

We have your sister."

What are we going to do, Ichiro?

They've got our sister. We have to go.

If only I was strong like City Hunter, I could save her myself.

Yeah, that's it! Let's ask City Hunter to help!

Yeah, we have a whole lot of money!

There was nothing posted this morning

so I'd be surprised to find anything now.

What do you know? I don't believe it!

Ichiro Washio, that's a nice name.

Washio?

Wait, I get the feeling I've heard that name before.

Yeah! Yeah! Since the cat's away, this mouse will play.

I'm coming, Miss Hisako Washio!

That's strange. Closed already.

She's usually open until nine o' clock.

You don't think she's in bed with a cold?!

This won't do! I must help her change into her pajamas!

How terrible, if she should have a sweat at night and catch pneumonia!

Are you okay Hisako?! Do you have a fever?!

Don't worry! I'm here now! Be strong! Who is it, Ichiro?

Don't worry! I'm here now! Be strong! He's that maniac guy who's always staring at Hisako.

It's me, Ryo, the guy who comes to get his hair cut every day! He's that maniac guy who's always staring at Hisako.

It's me, Ryo, the guy who comes to get his hair cut every day! What are we going to do?

Let me in! What are we going to do?

Let me in! I'm going to get rid of him. I have an idea.

You could catch pneumonia and die! I'm going to get rid of him. I have an idea.

You could catch pneumonia and die!

It opened right up.

I'm coming in! Pretty careless...

What if a pervert should happen to get in?

What's that?!

That must be Hisako's bra.

Brassiere!

That's one impertinent little bra running away like that! You fox!

Do you think a mere bra is a match for a human?!

Hold it you! Wait!

I'm your daddy! Come to Papa!

Whoops!

I had no idea it would work so well.

What are you doing out here?

Kaori, why did you come here?!

Hisako Washio Beauty Salon?

I was right. I thought I had heard the name somewhere before.

So what?! I can do whatever I want to on my private time, can't I?!

I came here, because I got a job request.

A job?

I see. She did want me to come here and help her change after all.

What's on that dirty mind of yours?!

Our client is someone named Ichiro Washio!

Okay, okay. Anyway, let's call a truce, and find out what he wants.

I thought this was your private time?

Kaori?

Wow, looks like she's really angry.

I see, and so that's why your sister was kidnapped.

That's why we want that famous City Hunter to rescue our sister.

Leave everything to me!

I see. Am I so famous as all that?

Let City Hunter take care of the rest.

No way! No way that maniac guy is City Hunter!

Now look here, it's true. I'm City Hunter, a.k.a. Ryo Saeba.

Is it true? Is it true he's really City Hunter?

That it can be true is what makes the world of grown-ups so scary.

Wow, a lot of money here.

What are you doing? Give it back!

No way we're asking someone like him to help our sister! Let's go!

Just a second! Wait!

Let them be.

Ryo!

They'll be off their guard with kids, giving us an opportunity.

You mean you'll do the job?

Of course, I'll rescue Hisako.

Mokkori lovey-dovey...

I forgot. How could he not take the job?

Where are you?! We brought it like you said!

Over here!

I had no doubt you'd come.

You are brothers who care about their sister after all.

Our sister! Where's our sister?! She'd better be okay!

Not to worry. She's fine.

Look behind and above you.

We took excellent care of her. There's not a scratch on her.

Now then, the bag please.

No! If we give this to you,

what guarantee do we have that you won't kill us?!

Shut up and listen, you little brat!

Now, rough talk like that will only serve to frighten the children.

Let's do this.

You two go up there and get your sister, then toss the bag down.

Then we'll get the bag and be on our way.

Will you keep your promise?!

Of course I will.

Mutual trust is the most important thing in this kind of matter.

Let's go, Jiro.

Sister!

Sister, we're here to save you!

Ichiro, how in the world did this happen?!

We'll tell you later.

Okay, kids. We made a promise. Toss the bag down.

Here you go!

That concludes our business!

Ichiro, they're leaving!

Of course they are. I worked it out really well.

Let's hear it, you two!

Depending on what happened, you may well be looking at a good spanking!

Our sister is a lot scarier than those guys are.

My boys, if you expect to live a long life,

you'd better be more careful about who you trust in the future.

Boss, they don't have no more future.

This dynamite's gonna blow that whole building to smithereens.

Yes, I'd forgotten.

They're gone! They're gone!

The counterfeit plates are missing!

Boss, what's wrong?!

Don't blow it up!

Those brats! They tricked me!

What happened to our mutual trust?!

Okay, I'm waiting to hear what happened!

Like I was saying...

They're back!

Brother, are we going to be killed?

We have to go higher!

You brats! I know you're hiding up here!

Come out if you don't want to get killed!

Stop! Please don't hurt my brothers!

Sister! Stop! Please don't hurt my brothers!

What did you do with the counterfeit plates?!

And you better tell me the truth or you'll be sorry!

Counterfeit plates?

We don't know about that! We gave you the money like we promised!

If that's how you want it, fine by me!

You don't tell us right now, and your sister dies!

We don't know! We really don't!

Who the hell are you?!

Are you okay, Hisako?

The maniac mokkori guy!

Mr. Saeba, how did you get up here?!

Like this!

Okay everybody, step in and we'll ride down.

That's what you think!

You're interfering!

Are these what you're after?

You had them!

Here!

Oh, no! Holes in the plates.

See, I returned them.

Wait! I won't have it!

Oh, really? The same goes for me then.

Wow!

Help!

Don't move! Don't move!

Careful! Don't move, I say!

Mr. Saeba, how can I possibly thank you for rescuing us?

What?

What would I do if I didn't have someone to cut my hair for me?

I see now, that guy really is City Hunter.

Ryo, what about those guys?

Well, I leave the rest to the police.

Listen, Jiro.

If we're going to be like City Hunter,

we have to become mokkori maniac guys too.

Ready?

See you.

Thanks.

Mr. Saeba!

Wow! A hot mokkori skirt shot!

You two! I'm spanking you when we get home!

Ryo, you're getting the same!

Hey, can we become City Hunters when we grow up?

Of course, of course! You show a lot of promise!

Yahoo! Snow covered slopes! Skiing!

Getting invited to a beautiful villa! Nice!

Right! I'd even pay to get an assignment like this.

What's more I'm with three beautiful sisters!

Hold it! This is work, you know!

How can I leave three mokkori babes alone?

These girls are being targeted by kidnappers. Understand?

Of course.

But the real question is, who am I going to share some romance with?

I'm not reaching you at all.

Don't miss it!
