(Mission 1. Follow the target to the goal without being noticed.)

A fleet step. A stealthy step. A quickity quiet step~...

Netaro. We’re still pretty far so I think you can just walk normally.

What blasphemy. This is what stalking someone is all about! Isn’t it better to blend into the atmosphere?

Thanks for inviting me to join the city-wide puzzle-solving escape game, Tengu ♪

Nah, the usual guys didn’t show up, so you’re actually doing me a favor.

So far, we’ve sniped photos of shady transactions from skyscrapers across the street, and gobbled up some gum manufactured at a suspicious factory!

Looking back, this is all simply a super gimme gimme testing ground paradise for my inventions!!

Let’s grow with this flow, complete all the missions, and get the treasure hidden in the safe~!

Yeah~. Let’s do our best.

…Oh. Looks like we’re getting the hint for the next mission. Alright, eyes on the target.

Ohoho! A new man in black has made his appearance!? He’s saying something—

Mmm, I can’t hear at all!

It’s time for my “Potato-shaped recorder that can pick up all voices within a 2000km radius” to shine...

Oooh, they’re babbling out important-sounding info like babies. What sloppy security. Sloppier than a sloppy joe!

(Hmm, so the guys in black that just showed up are the ones carrying out the plan.)

Looks like their talk is over! Alright, time to resume stalki—

They’re pretty cautious. Let’s be more careful while tailing them from now on.

Hum~... Stalking. Would be a lot easier if we walked on the walls.

Ten Icon

Oh, you can do that?

Netaro Icon

Naturally! Against me, the Earth’s gravity is nothing—

Just kidding. That was a genius inventor joke~! On Earth, both apples and monkeys fall from trees, and even I can’t defy that!

…Oh, gotcha.
