Someone has stolen all the wages for all the employees at a major company. The culprit was apprehended through a discarded cigarette, but as the whereabouts of the missing money is still unknown, a reward is being offered for anyone who finds it. Kyousuke happens upon a coded message that seems to indicate the hiding place. Leaving Takuboku behind since he's still cut ties with him, Kyousuke sets out with young Hirai to decipher the note.
I didn't go to work yesterday or today.
لم أذهب للعملِ البارحة أو اليوم
Gestern und heute bin ich deswegen
nicht zur Firma gegangen.
sia ieri che oggi sono rimasto a casa dal lavoro.
Não fui trabalhar nem ontem nem hoje.
Не был на работе уже два дня.
