Page 4. A close shot down near the floorboards. Momo is on her hands and knees with her chin near the floor, peering through her oversized magnifying glass at a single pale dusty boot-print; one of her huge amber eyes is hugely magnified through the round lens. She is deadly serious — and misses that the print is the exact shape of her own boot. MOMO: 'Small boots. Just my size.'

Close view of the chibi girl in the yellow coat down on her hands and knees, chin near the floor, peering through her big magnifying glass at a single pale dusty boot-print, so one of her huge amber eyes is enormously magnified through the lens.
About this chapter
Momo spots a trail of pale dusty boot-prints on the clubroom floor and declares that an intruder is circling the Tiny Case Agency. She follows the tracks around the room, magnifying glass out — and each lap she is certain there are MORE of them, a whole gang closing the ring. Ganta tells her on page five that they are her own boots. She hushes him and keeps circling, adding fresh prints with every step, until the trail loops right back to the two little boots on her own feet. Unable to admit she spent the afternoon chasing herself, Momo declares she surrounded the gang and drove them off, closes the case, and falls asleep inside the ring of prints. Ganta delivers the verdict once she is out: she walked in a circle.
