Friends Through Courage
Kei Narita, the only daughter of the Narita conglomerate...
They say one-tenth of the family's fortune is kept in the house safe.
Heh heh heh...
Hah
What a great morning!
I feel fantastic today too.
Hey!
Kanta!
......
Why is he always so gloomy?
Maybe he's being bullied?
Ah!
Look!
The most popular kid at school!
Isn't that Kei-chan.
Alright!
Today I'm finally going to talk to her!
Ke...
What, what,
what the—!
Saved me...
What the heck was that dog...?
Hikaru, still screwing around as always.
Teru!
Getting chased by a dog like that.
If it were me I'd have taken it out with one punch.
Shut up!
You got a problem?!
Whoa,
I don't want any fights.
I've beaten Hikaru 164 times and lost 163, so I won't start a fight that easily.
Anyway, good luck.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Hah, nailed it.
Gyaaa!!
That Teru, what the hell is wrong with him, geez.
Help—!!
Kei-chan
Let go of Kei-chan—!!
......
......
......
U...umm
Huh!!
Where am I?
Here?
Oh,
you're awake?
You fell asleep on the street.
Um, sorry, but who are you?
I'm Kei Narita's mother.
No way!!
Um, well, this, that, uh, this is...
Kei-chan's been kidnapped.
Is that so. Please tell her to watch out for cars.
Um, so...
What a numbskull.
Hey, wait, I'm not done talking—
Damn! I don't have time to be sleeping here!!
Aah—!!
Aah,
geez—!!
Hello, this is Narita.
I've kidnapped your daughter.
Prepare 300,000 yen.
Come to Hageshin Park at 6 this evening!!
Kei's over there visiting?
Tell her to come home right away.
If she won't listen, scold her good and hard.
.....
Kei-chaaan!!
What the hell is that old hag
Do I have to explain it 51 times for you to get it?!!
By the way, how much did they ask for?
300,000.
300,000?
What the hell is that!!
Why didn't they ask for more?!
Whatever, whatever, leave it to me.
......
Where the hell should we even start looking?
What was that?
Just now?
Kanta!!
Those guys!? The ones who always bully us!!
Wha-wha
No way!!
Th-that was close.
I thought I was gonna die.
Those jerks!!
It's all your fault...
You're to blame!!
Hey, Kanta
Kei-chan's been kidnapped.
If you can describe the culprit...
I'll pass. I gotta get to cram school.
Don't tell me you don't care at all?
......
You idiot!!
So that's what you're really like?
No matter how much you're bullied, no matter how much you're mocked,
I thought you had more compassion than anyone.
I never want to see Kanta again!!
......
That idiot, idiot, idiot
You idiot!!
Wah wah
Idiot!
I worked so hard on that—.
Wah
Ah, this isn't the time for this.
Sorry.
I wasted so much time.
If we don't rescue Kei-chan fast, it'll be bad.
!!
Watch out!!
Ouch ouch ouch...
Grrr!!
What are you looking at!!
Oh—it's Teru!!
I'm in a hurry, so I'm going ahead.
Wait, Hikaru
I said I'm in a hurry!!
We don't have time to bicker!!
Isn't someone in trouble right now?
That's none of your business!!
What do you mean 'none of your business'...
Sure, we’ve fought a lot‼
But I thought I told you everything—only to you‼
Know why?
Because we’re fight-buddies‼
Hey, if you’re in trouble, just tell me.
Yeah,
okay.
You know Kei Narita—the most popular girl at school?
She was kidnapped this morning.
When I went to help, I got unlucky...
Well, whatever.
...
...
Alright, got it.
So it’s like this.
If you find her, let me know‼
She wasn’t there—how about you?
No, she wasn’t.
Here are the kidnapper’s features.
Ah—where could she have gone...
I’m telling you‼
What now?
What’s up?
Ah—‼
I’ve been saying that since earlier‼
Hey‼
I found them‼
Hey, could that be the guy wearing that sesame-seed-looking outfit?
Yeah,
that’s him.
Okay,
let’s follow him.
Aha.
So this is
the hideout.
That a hideout?
Looks like the poop I stepped in before.
Huh?
He’s coming out.
Let’s search the shed while we can.
Kei-chan‼
Thank you very much.
No problem.
Ah!! You're!!
You know me?
Yeah, definitely.
Yee-ha!!
The guy who slipped on an empty can and hit his head.
By the way, what happened to those two?
Those two troublemakers!!
I'll teach them a lesson!!
Why are you so mad?
Kei-chan, do you know anything about those two?
They said they'd call my house and make Mom bring the ransom to the park.
They said the house would be empty, and they'd use that chance to steal the money. They were like kidnappers pretending to be thieves…
What were they even thinking?
Then we have to hurry and chase them.
Right!! Anyway, let's go to Kei-chan's house!!
Let's go
Alright, let’s go…
Where the hell are those guys?
It's Hikaru!!
I found them!!
I'll go ahead.
Move quietly so we don't get noticed.
Feels kinda like we're sneaking like thieves.
Who's there!!
Waaah!!
Grrrrrrrr!!
You damn kids!!
You bastard!!
Heh heh heh
Ha ha ha
!
Kyaa!!
How dare you interfere.
I want to see your face before I kill you. Ready?
I'll start with you!!
Heh heh heh...
Die!!
You little brat!!
Yah!!
You bastard!!
Huh?
W-wait a minute…
I got caught by an elementary kid…
Alright, time to get serious…
Yes!!
Nice work, Kanta.
Anyone, with just a little courage,
can become friends with anyone.
Alright, let's go tell the police!!
Kei's mom…
I made lunch. I wonder what kind of person he is…
