Monster Volume 8 : My Nameless Hero Chapter the Sixty-Seventh I Am Tenma - Page 163 - [Munich, Germany] Japanese: ...domo*, we look forward to your cooperation. Domo, it is we who should be thanking you! We would surely enjoy a round of golf together sometime!! Please, please, only if you go gentle on us!! Domo, may our partnership be successful! Ah, domo! Domo! Domo! (*Note: Literally, "indeed".) Lunge: "Domo"... (tap tap tap) "Domo"... hmph. Chapter 67 : I Am Tenma - Page 164 - Lunge: A meaningless bunch. (tap tap) Chapter 67 : I Am Tenma - Page 165 - Iwai: Ah, hello, hello. Forgive my lateness, our meeting went overtime... I am Iwai, from the Munich branch of Kadofuku Commercial Affairs. Lunge: I am Lunge, from the German BKA. Iwai: Oh... let me give you my card. Lunge: Domo. Iwai: Oh my goodness, well! "Domo" and a bow, hahaha! - Page 166 - Iwai: Coffee for me, and another for this gentleman! I realized you had asked to see Yamamoto... But he's on a business trip to the Czech Republic. He is scheduled to return tomorrow. Lunge: You must be busy. Iwai: Are you familiar with the financial giant, Mr. Schuwald? He was previously retired, but has gotten back into the business, and all the German companies under his umbrella are quite active at the moment. We Japanese businessmen are also very busy dealing with Mr. Schuwald. HAHAHA! Lunge: {Was that funny...?} Iwai: ...so I'm afraid Yamamoto will not be able to indulge your wishes today... However, both he and I were equally familiar with Mr. Kenzo Tenma... - Page 167 - Lunge: I see... Iwai: But I was quite surprised. To hear that you are still searching for him... Lunge: Indeed, we still haven't gotten to the bottom of things. Iwai: The "Hospital Staff Poisonings"... the "Heidelburg Phantom Killer"... And then... the "Middle-Aged Couple Murders", was it not? I was quite surprised when it was announced that Mr. Tenma was wanted as a suspect in those! It was even on the Japanese wideshows for a while, but that's all gone and forgotten. Lunge: Wideshows? Iwai: Yes, that's what we call the Japanese programs that thrive on this sort of material. Is he still on the run? - Page 168 - Lunge: You say that you were very surprised when you heard Dr. Tenma was a suspect... Was it that much of a shock? Iwai: Oh yes, completely unexpected!! That he of all people should be... Waiter: (clink) Iwai: To tell you truth, I don't think he would do such a thing. Although, I only went drinking with him two or three times, a few years ago. He wasn't a bad person. Lunge: So if he wasn't a bad person... He was a good person? Iwai: A good person... hmmm... Well, he wasn't the type to put on airs... Lunge: So a man who doesn't put on airs is a good man? - Page 169 - Iwai: Well, I suppose I should simply say he is not an uncivil man. Hahaha... Lunge: Japanese do not normally wear these clothes... Japanese use chopsticks... I am Japanese. - Page 170 - Lunge: Domo. I am Japanese. I am Japanese. I am... Tenma... Lunge speaking! Daughter: Oh... Father? Lunge: ......hello. - Page 171 - Daughter: How are you? Lunge: Fine. Daughter: I called because I heard you were here in Munich. I'm living here now. Actually, Father... My baby... was born perfectly healthy... Lunge: Hmm... Congratulations... Daughter: I know things have been rough, but... I want you to see your grandson's face. Will you meet him? Lunge: Of course I will. Daughter: Is tomorrow okay, then? Lunge: Yes... as long as it's after 6 o'clock... - Page 172 - Lunge: Where shall we meet...? Okay... Marian Platz... got it... Domo. (click) Takahashi: Oooh, you use chopsticks very well. - Page 173 - Lunge: Really? Takahashi: There are more foreigners who can use chopsticks better than Japanese now than ever before. Lunge: ...so, Dr. Takahashi... As a colleague of Tenma's, what did you think of him? Takahashi: What did I think...? Hmmm... He wasn't too unsociable... Though I suppose he was indecisive at times... But... Lunge: But? Takahashi: When he held a scalpel he was like a different person. They called him a genius surgeon, and believe me, that's no exaggeration. - Page 174 - Lunge: And his parents? Takahashi: Hmm, he never really liked talking about them much. Although he did say his father and brother were doctors... I guess he didn't have a choice of careers. I was the same way, though... Oh right, you know, I don't think he's gone back to Japan since becoming a doctor here in Germany. And during the controversy over his criminal charges, his parents never bothered to come to Germany... They didn't seem to be interested in proving their son's innocence... His family bonds are rather weak, I suppose you could say... - Page 175 - Iwai: I'm very sorry. We've finally gotten some word from Yamamoto after all this time. He's arrived in Munich from Prague, but... It appears he must go see a customer before everything else... Lunge: He must be very busy. Iwai: But he said he would stop by the place we're about to go, so... Lunge: Place...? - Page 176 - Iwai: Yes! Would you like to come too, Inspector Lunge? This is fate, sir! Maybe you can find out what it is you wanted to know! Lunge: No, this is all for today... {"Tenma's family bonds are rather weak, I suppose you could say."} - Page 177 - Lunge: I am Tenma. Iwai: Huh? Lunge: Yes please, allow me to join you. - Page 178 - Iwai: Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew, when I bit off more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all and I stood tall And did it my way People: Yaaaaaay!! (clap clap clap clap clap) - Page 179 - Men: How about you, Inspector Lunge? Will you sing one?! Yeah!! Ooh ooh, I'm next, me!! Yaaaayy!! Lunge: I am Tenma... - Page 180 - Lunge: I am Tenma... I don't fit in with other Japanese businessmen... I do not seek salvation here... I have no place to return to... I am... {Alone...} - Page 181 - Yamamoto: Ah, domo, domo, sorry for being late!! Iwai: Oh!! We've been waiting, Yamamoto!! This is Inspector Lunge, who I told you about over the phone! Yamamoto: Ah, hello, I am Yamamoto of the Kadofuku Munich Office. Lunge: Domo! Iwai: How was the meeting with Mr. Kohout in the Czech Republic? Yamamoto: Ooooh, he's a tough one. Oh, but listen, I found "it"!! Iwai: It? Yamamoto: You know, the thing Schuwald's secretary... that young man requested...!! Iwai: Oh, THAT "it"!! Yamamoto: Getting on the good side with Schuwald's secretary is the best way to create a good contract with Schuwald himself!! - Page 182 - Yamamoto: I had to search all the used book shops in Prague, but I finally found a copy!! Iwai: Aha, so this is that storybook!! Yamamoto: The dust jacket's gone, and it's falling apart... Iwai: It'll look fine if you wrap it up nicely. Yamamoto: Excuse me, can I get a beer here?! Lunge: May I see it? Yamamoto: Oh, certainly. Lunge: It's in Czech... Men: Hey hey, next song's mine!! Yeah!! Lunge: (tap tap tap) - Page 183 - Lunge: (tap tap tap) (tap tap tap) [Munich Police] Man: Inspector, what are you looking up with those dictionaries? Lunge: Czech. Man: Czech? Is it tied to your investigation somehow? Lunge: No... not at all. Man: I can't believe it. You, studying something unrelated to a case... - Page 184 - Lunge: A passage from a storybook. I liked the art. I wanted to know the meaning of the sentences. Man: The inspector and a storybook... Well, don't that beat all. Lunge: Hmmmmmmm. (flap) "Look at me! Look at me!"
