 /_Job 6: Shopping Request_______/     Pay: 1200 G

   [買い物のお願い]

  **Job Description**
  
  Nipori Misosoup, who lives in Kohjya, would like you to do some errands. 
  Head to the Misosoup house for more details.

You'll once again find multiple jobs when you get back to your house, so 
since the second job (skipping the first, as it is the food delivery job 
again). After you've done so head to the Misosoup house, which is diagonal 
from yours (and next to Kent's). Niposhi is in the pink room at the desk - 
talk to him. It turns out that Niposhi is being punished for a mean trick 
that he played at school and needs to write a long book report. However, he 
doesn't have a book to write the composition on, and has too much homework 
to go get it himself, since the store is in Ohtory. So the solution? Call on 
Rentalman! (Of course, Rentalman has to keep it a secret from Niposhi's 
older sis). More than likely the books that you have to buy change, but the 
books that we needed to get were:

銀紙鉄道の夜
週刊ゲンマイ
Hanage

Try your best to just write down the book names in Japanese (three single 
lines of text, one after another - ignore the last character on them, which 
means 'and') and play the good "match-the-kanji" game.

Head on over to the bookstore in the alley in Ohtory and buy the books - no 
gold will be deducted from your account, so don't worry. Once the books are 
in your possession, go back to the Misosoup household and give them to 
Niposhi. He'll thank you, wish that you could write the composition as well, 
figure that it's probably impossible (bingo, kid), and give you all that he 
can - 1200 gold.

Once you've got your reward and Niposhi has his books, head back to your 
house, and select from the two remaining jobs - the food delivery job, or a 
different town patrol job. 

  ________________________________
 /_Odds and Ends_________________/    

At this point in the game, if you've donated 1000 Gold or so to SECA, you 
can head back to SECA's B2 floor and pick up some new techniques, ranging 
from the Rent A Somersault to the Victory Pose. Full translations of the 
list follows:

レンタハンマーダブル   100  Rent A Hammer Double    0 Energy
レンタニーアタック     100  Rent A Knee Attack      0 Energy
レンタビルドアッパー   100  Rent A Buildupper       0 Energy
レンタサマーソルト     100  Rent A Somersault       0 Energy
エナジーソード        2000  Energy Sword            8 Energy
ヴィクトリ蝓璽檗璽?   2000  Victory Pose            4 Energy
フラッシュフォース    2000  Flash Force             8 Energy
ソニックカッター      2000  Sonic Cutter            6 Energy
ドラゴンサンダー      4000  Dragon Thunder         30 Energy
レンタコレダー        4000  Rent A Corridor        30 Energy
エレ譽鵐織螢奪沁     4000  Elentrigger            40 Energy
セルフリカバー        4000  Self Recover           48 Energy
バーヒングクロー     10000  Burning Claw           72 Energy
ソードフィニッシュ   10000  Sword Finish           64 Energy
スペースバリア       10000  Space Barrier          96 Energy

Pick up a few if you want, and head back up to B1. You can pay your fee for 
the suit at the B1 desk if you want, and you can pick up a few batteries or 
an item that ups your BT maximum by 16  (for 5000 gold, that is). One of the 
guys in the B1 lab reminds you to look for HiP-PP crystals that have been 
scattered around the town - finding these superpowerful NASU-developed 
crystals can mean for some great armor and weapons and such. 

After you're done at SECA, you can head back to your house and take the food 
delivery job again if you like - nothing has changed here, and it's great 
for a bit more cash. Once you've collected your 500G/delivery fee,  

Now, take the Dahane Town Patrol, the next job, but before going there head 
to the school and talk to Segasa Tanshirou (aka. Sega Saturn Shiro) in the 
gym. He sent an email saying that he wants to spar with you, and now is the 
time to do so (he won't fight an unemployed man). Defeating him will gain 
you another move, the Quick Kick Combo. Now head on to Dahane, and the job 
that awaits you there.

 /_Job 7: Dahane Town Patrol_____/     Pay: 2000 G

   [ダハネ町内パトロール]

  **Job Description**

  From the Mayor of Aero City, you've been hired to patrol the inside of 
  Dahane Town. Meet the Mayor in front of Dahane Train Station, and he'll 
  fill you in on the details from there. 

Head to the Dahane Train Station (Dahane is the second to last station on 
the train line) and, once outside, turn into Rentalman and talk to mayor, 
who is standing, as stated, outside. The mayor says that there are two punks 
that are roaming around causing trouble in the town of Dahane. You need to 
talk to people around the town and find out who has seen them, and catch 
them. 

You'll now be able to roam around the town and get into *gasp!* random 
battles! Three enemies at a time, followed by two more, each of which can 
leave items such as batteries and medical kits behind. While you can just 
wander around talking to people, if you wish to get a move on with things, 
head inside the bank and talk to the kid there. This will trigger two 
robbers' entrance into the bank, proclaiming, creatively, that "This is a 
holdup! Don't move!"  Of course, after they attack the kid, you can opt to 
move (top option) or not. Being the hero, you want to move, which will 
trigger a fight, and one of the most difficult ones yet...

After the fight, the cops will come and take away the robbers, and you'll 
recieve a reward of 4000 Gold. From there, head back to the train station 
and talk to the mayor again, who will give you an additional 2000 Gold.

  **Job Description**
  
  Scott Hanson, who lives in the Kohjya, would like you to do 
  some errands. Head to the Hanson house for more details.

After your recent bank robbery foiling, you'll find that you have some tamer 
things on the menu - more food delivery, another shopping request, and a pet 
hunting expedition (in that order). Skipping the food delivery, which is old 
school by now, choose the second option, the shopping request. 

This time you're heading to Dahane to do some shopping for Mr. Scott Hanson, 
who wants some things from the department store there. Once again, these are 
probably random, so just copy what he wants (again, three single lines of 
text, one after another - ignore the last character on them, which means 
'and'). Ours were:

ササシシシ
メグロナサンマ
ブチトマト

Get onto the train and go to Dahane, and seek out the ImoYouCanDo Dept 
Store. Truck on down to the basement using the elevator, and grab the items 
that he needs - again, no gold is deducted, as he gave you money to pay for 
the stuff.

After you have procured the necessary items, head on back to the Hanson 
house and deliver them. Piece of Rent A Cake.

 /_Job 9: Find the Pet___________/     Pay: 4000 G

   [ペット探し]

  **Job Description**
  A pet has been lost in Anamoina's Conteyal Park - head to the park, and 
  find the pet.  

After completing the latest fetch quest, you can take on the good old "Find 
the Pet" job. This will open the final town in the game, Anamoina, which is 
rather... unique looking... Take the train there, and look around for the 
Conteyal Park [アナモイナのコントヤル公園]. Of course, you can also stop into the 
Ro-jin Conbini (a take-off of Lawson, staffed by old men - trust me, it's 
funny). 

After you've found the park (which isn't hard to miss), scout out the man in 
the blue suit. It is his pet that is lost, but before he hires you, he has 
to see if you're worthy - and what better way than with a little fight.

Once you're done pounding him into the ground, select the top option to take 
the job, and you'll recieve 1000 Gold from the guy. It turns out that he 
doesn't have a lost pet (he just wanted to rumble), but there is someone in 
the park that needs your help - and in order to find this person, you need 
to talk to the kids that are around the park. 

As you talk to the kids, it seems that a strange old man has been telling 
them about something very cool that is hidden around the park. It seems to 
be some sort of treasure, hidden near the trash. Thus, after talking to the 
four kids, go up to the trash can and search around it using the A Button. 
Inside, you'll find a tape recorder with the voice of Nomoruwa Chemicals, 
asking you to be his bodyguard (cue Whitney Houston song). Of course, to 
meet him, you'll need to get a letter of introduction. But to get a letter 
of introduction, you'll need to go to Fujimiya and play the point game, 
recieving zero points. In order to do that, you need to solve a riddle. Oh, 
and the tape is going to self destruct in 10 seconds (..........so it turns 
out that he was kidding).

At Fujimiya, talk to the person behind the counter and select the very 
bottom choice on the list, [点取り占い], which costs 2 Gold. Simply buy it 
until you have zero points [0点]. After you've done that, buy the top option, 
the [ふがし], for 30 Gold, and take it out and give it to the dog that is to 
the right of the shop. The dog will move, allowing you to get the letter of 
introduction that he was laying on. 

Now, head over to Makata, to the port area, and go into the Nomoruwa 
Chemical building (a blue building, with the name [ノモルワ科学本社叺), and head 
upstaris to the third floor (use the elevator). Talk to the receptionist, 
who will let you in after she sees the letter of introduction. The president 
will be waiting for you inside.

As it turns out, the president has been getting life-threatening letters, so 
you need to guard him as he heads to the store-room. His normal bodyguard, 
who you fought in the park, will take the front, and you're stuck guarding 
the rear. Before you go off to the storeroom, you can explore the building 
some. On the second floor you can find a Nomoruwa Lithium Battery if you 
look in some of the cabinets - don't forget to occasionally check around for 
things like this...

Heading outside, the computer will take control of the characters, right up 
until you're attacked (did you expect anything else?) by a rather 70's 
looking guy. You'll be forced into battle while the other bodyguard protects 
the president. After, you'll find that the kid's father was affected by a 
steroid-like drug that Nomoruwa Chemicals created, and now wanders the 
street, mindless. The kid merely wanted revenge for what happened to his 
father, and you, Rentalman, deprived him of that. But you got 4000 Gold for 
doing it...

The scene will change soon after that to the interior of the storeroom, 
where the president is talking to a scientist. The scientist has been 
developing the strongest robot ever put on the market, and to test it, they 
plan on using... Rentalman! (big surprise, eh?)

   [買い物のお願い]

  **Job Description**
  
  Note Book, who lives in the Kohjya, would like you to do 
  some errands. Head to the Book apartment for more details.

Mr. Book, a novelist, is in a huge reading mood, but has deadlines 
approaching, so he can't get the supplies that he needs. This, of course, is 
where you come in. He needs Rentalman to head to the bookstore in Ohtory to 
pick up some books for him. Once again, random items here, so copy and match 
the Japanese... ours were:

銀紙鉄監擦量,
づれづれづら
ハーレクイモノ ロマンス
オマレッツ
源爺物語
不死身の國のキリギリス
風邪と共に寒気
週刊鉄人マジンガ
週刊少年シャンプー

Read enough?

Anyway, he forks over his cash card, and sends you on your way. Once again, 
head to the bookstore over in Ohtory, grab the stuff that he wants, and 
bring it back. After he checks what you have for him, you'll get payment of 
5400 G, your biggest single payment to date! So much for this being a simple 
little crap job, eh? 

Once you're done rolling in your dough, head back to your house, and get 
onto the next job... being a superstar!

  ________________________________
 /_Job 11: Star as the Hero______/     Pay: 2000 G

   [ヒーロー代役の琉様袤

  **Job Description**

  The ImoYouCan-Do Dept. Store in Dahane wants you to be in their Hero Show. 
  Talk to the head of the dept. store for more details; he will be waiting 
  on top of the roof for you.

After making your way to the top of the ImoYouCan-Do Dept. Store, you'll 
find that the normal Hero Show star is unable to come today, so they have 
called on you. They are in dire need of your help, and of course will offer 
payment. Follow him behind the stage, then talk to the woman back there, and 
the show will start.

The story goes... the department store has been taken over by bad guys, and 
the voice of justice, Rentalman, has to be called by the audience (hey - 
it's for kids, what can you expect?). Of course, Rentalman comes to the 
rescue, and beats up the five bad guys (concentrating on the guy who is in 
green, and was in the center - beat him and the fight is over). 

After the show you'll get a word of thanks from the head of the store, as 
well as your 2000 Gold payment.

Once arriving back at your flat, you'll have not one, not two, not three, 
but four jobs to choose from. However, it's less impressive when you 
consider that jobs one through three are food delivery, shopping, and play 
the hero again. Number four, however, is more interesting - an urgent 
cave-in.

  ________________________________
 /_Job 12: Urgent! Cave-in!______/     Pay: 4000 G

   [緊急! 落盤事故発生!!]

  **Job Description**

  There has been a cave-in at Anamoina's Tunnel Koji Gemba. There are a few 
  people trapped inside, so please procede there immediately and attempt to 
  rescue them.

From Anamoina's train station, head straight, and turn to the left into the 
Tunnel Complex. Once inside, head straight ahead, turning a bit to the 
right, and talking with the supervisor at the entrance to the tunnel. He 
tells you that due to an overuse of blasting powder, there are three people 
trapped in the tunnel, hence, the call to Rent A Hero. There is a large rock 
blocking the way that you need to break up, but if you're not careful 
breaking up the rocks you might hurt one of the trapped people, so be 
careful. Unfortunately, they have also sent a call out to your rival, 
UltraSalaryman, as well....

Since he isn't there yet, head into the tunnel and start to do your work. 
While a map for this section was started, it is too complex to do well (let 
alone in a text faq), so you will basically just need to hit every single 
rock. Walk up to the decent sized round rocks and press the A button, then 
select the top option to break it open. Some of the rocks will break, others 
will not (although they will change in appearance). You basically need to 
break every single breakable rock to find the three trapped workers. Once 
that is done, you'll find that there is a very big rock blocking your 
entrance. And just as Rentalman goes to break it open...

You are thanked kindly for your work, and told to pick up the payment at the 
front office, which is right next to the entrance of the area. However, upon 
talking to the secratary in the office, you'll find that the person with 
your money has just had his daughter collapse in the park. 

The park will contain three fairly upset children who are thinking that the 
little girl was taken to Ohtory General Hospital. Off we go to Ohtory...

Heading up to the second open room on the right on the second floor, you'll 
find that the little girl is in there with her parents. Talk to the man and 
you'll get your money, as well as thanks. As an interesting note, this is 
the same room that the little boy who was hurt in the bank robbery is 
recovering in. Possibly a little romance in bloom? Heh.

Once the salary is collected, you're back off to your house for some new 
mail, and another job.

  ________________________________
 /_Job 13: Bodyguard_____________/     Pay: 2000 G

   [ボディーガード]

  **Job Description**

  Sofia Sinclair, who lives in the Coconuts Mansion Apartments, has 
  requested a bodyguard. Please see her for more details.

You'll find the Sinclair apartment on the first floor of the apartment 
complex, the middle apartment of the three. Enter, and as Rentalman, talk to 
the girl at the back of the main room. It turns out that Sofia has been 
getting strange letters from a secret admirer that is now threatening to 
never let her go. Of course, this makes her nervous, and she would like 
Rentalman to escort her to school.

After talking about the letters, speak with her once more, and the two of 
you will set off for school. Along the way she attempts to make small talk 
about various things. To get the "best" replies, answer in the following 
manner (Yes being the top option, No being the bottom, and the questions are 
set, and are not random; also, go as fast as you can to get all 15 of the 
questions in before you get to school):

Yes

No

Yes

No

No

No

No

No (starts with ダイエット)

Yes

Yes

Yes

No

No  (has the numbers 8 & 5 in it)

Yes

Yes

No (only asks this once they are in the school)

Yes

No

Yes

That makes for a total of 15 questions on the way to school, and once inside 
the school grounds, another 4 while you are on the way to the classroom. If 
you answer all of the questions in a section, the rest of the walk will be 
in silence. Again, you need to be quick on the trigger finger here...

After answering that way, she'll say that they might be able to be really 
good friends, then thank you, and ask for your help again at lunch (well, 
she will thank you and ask for more help no matter how you answer). Entering 
the classroom yourself and talking to Ms. Naomi, she'll remark that Taro 
isn't at school yet, and must be sick or something. At this point, change 
back to Taro and talk to her again, and class will start!

Ms. Naomi starts to quiz you, asking you 10 multiple choice questions. As 
before, questions here are random, but we've provided most (if not all - all 
that we saw in six or seven playthroughs of the section) of the correct 
answers for you - if you have Japanese encoding, and one of the answers 
below is in the answer list, select it. If not, simply guess to the best of 
your ability (yeah, easier said than done, right?)

--Correct Answers:--

サワラ (bottom)

イワツ (middle)

スカッシュ (top)

地象 (bottom)

for the list that starts with 蛇足, choose the last one

だいこん (middle)

第三者の方が物事の先が読めること (middle)

頭かくして尻かくさず (middle)

馬子 (middle)

ツルガネ (middle)

ローラーカナリア (bottom)

芙蓉蟹 (top)

個所 (top)

熱可塑性樹脂 (bottom)

パター (top)

海千山千 (bottom)

十 (middle)

オルガ」鵑琉貅?(bottom)

地上 (middle)

指人形 (top)

甲府 (bottom)

After Ms. Naomi's class, it's time for gym with Mr. Segasa, so turn into 
Rentalman and escort Sofia to the girl's locker room (if you didn't answer 
all of the questions before, you might get a few more here from where she 
left off). Once at the locker room, press the A button on the door and 
you'll be asked if you want to look inside (ヘンタイ!). Answer yes and you'll 
hear a scream from inside - the door will burst open, and it turns out that 
there was someone strange in the locker room, and that they went out the 
window. Head out the window, where you'll find that they had bumped into Mr. 
Segasa. Run toward the gate, where you'll run into the Shinishini Cult. It 
would appear that Sofia is a goddess to them, and they want to make her a 
sacrifice. Of course, this also means that you will have no choice but to 
fight them (again, going for the guy in the pointed hat, who is the leader).

After seeing them beg for mercy, they'll run off, and Sofia will thank you 
and pay you the 2000 Gold that she promised. At this point, school, as well 
as the bodyguard job, is finished, so you can head back home.

 /_Job 14: Urgent! Clean up the Dud Bombs_/     Pay: 5000 G

   [緊急! 不発弾処理の依頼]

  **Job Description**

  The Tsumikino Construction Company in Anamoina wants you to clean up some 
  explosives that did not go off properly, but are still dangerous. Please 
  head to the tunnel site for more details.

One of the easiest jobs that you can do for 5000 Gold, take this and head 
back to the construction site, and the tunnel. Upon reaching there and 
talking to the head, he informs you that there is a bomb in the tunnel that 
needs to be defused. UltraSalaryman, however, is already there and inside, 
working on the bomb. Head inside and find him at the back of the tunnel.

Reaching the back of the tunnel you'll find UltraSalaryman examining the 
bomb. He says that he was about to start in on it, but that you should do it 
instead since it is so dangerous (gee, thanks). He takes off and leaves you 
to the job.

You know the game Simon? Well, this is the same thing exactly. Upon 
examining the bomb and selecting the top option, you'll find a circle 
interface divided into four sections, each of which corresponds to one of 
the DC's four buttons (they're color coded) as well. You'll have to go 
through four rounds, starting with four button presses and heading up to 
seven for the final round. This is random again, but shouldn't prove to be 
any real problem.

Upon defusing the bomb, head back out and talk to the same person who let 
you in. He is very relieved that everything is ok, and asks you to go to the 
office for your payment. Luckily, the owner has left the 5000 Gold payment 
with the secretary, so you can grab it, and everything is all right.

 /_Job 15: Pizza Delivery________/     Pay: 3200 G

   [ピザ暁枌C離丱ぅ否

  **Job Description**

  Dahane's Do Le Me Pizza would like you to do some part time deliveries for 
  them. Please head to the pizza shop for more information.

Another job that will be a recurring one, this also happens to be one of the 
fun Random Ones. After taking the job, the third one down, ride the train to 
Dahane, and find the Do Le Me pizza shop on the corner. Talk to the owner, 
and listen to the people and kinds of pizzas that he wants you to deliver. 
Again, this is important, so be careful to take decent notes.

The setup of the order information is simple - the first line is where (what 
building, town, etc.) you need to take the pizza, the second is the person's 
name (which really doesn't matter much), and the final is the type of pizza 
that they want. Below is an example:

ダハネの アカリー 出版の  (place: Akarii Publishing in Dahane)
ヨメルド  カカネバさんに  (name: Yomerudo Kakaneba)
シーフードピザ            (pizza type: Seafood Pizza)

Specifically, the name of the town comes first on the first line, then the 
place. The second line you can skip, and the entire third line is the type 
of pizza. Once you do have the four deliveries written down, hunt out the 
place and enter - you'll automatically start a conversation, and you'll have 
to select the correct kind of pizza from a list. If the pizza isn't on the 
list, select the bottom option, which will allow you to select from more 
kinds of pizza. Continue to do this until you've found the right type, and 
hand it over.

After all of the pizzas are delivered, you'll warp back to the pizza joint, 
and will be able to collect your reward.

  Head to the Ohtory Hospital and talk to Frio, who is on the second floor. 
  He will fill you in on the details. Please hurry, as it is urgent.

Select the bottom job from the list (which is now up to five, four of them 
being recurring jobs) and head to the hospital for the urgent request from 
Mr. Frio (who happens to be the kid that was injured in the bank robbery). 
After finding him on the second floor, sitting on his bed, reading a manga. 
It turns out that this urgent request is a trip to MadeNaruto Burgers for 
some grub. Like so many other people, he only wants to say this once, so get 
out your pen and paper and get ready to copy down the list once more (yup - 
another random one). For reference, here was ours:

  Please head to the store and talk to the manager, who will fill you in 
  more. The police have also been called, and are on their way.

Selecting the bottom job once more, you'll find out that the Sepoon Ufun (a 
pun on Seven Eleven) is being robbed. Bolt out of the house, changing into 
your Rentalman costume as you do, and head for the conbini. As you turn the 
corner, the game will head into a cutscene.

After threatening "if anyone moves, I'll make it so that this cop can't 
move", a voice is heard from above (although you'll notice just how tightly 
the cop is being held). As everyone looks up to see someone new... yes, it's

  Hi-To Pharmecuticals in Dahane has a request of you, and will pay you 
  6000 Gold if you're able to help them. Please find out more information 
  from the President of the company.

Once again, choosing the last job on the list will provide you with the only 
non-repeating job: a request from Hi-To Pharmecuticals. Hi-To is somewhat 
hard to get to, as it is in a section that is most easily accessable via an 
alleyway in Dahane. Head there, and, as Rentalman, talk to the guard near 
the elevator. He will tell you that the president is on the third floor. 
Head into the elevator, and it is off to the third floor for you...

Talking to the president will reveal that an important secret file, full of 
important info on a new medicine, has been stolen from a safe on the second 
floor. Unfortunately, if the medicine is used now, before it has been 
perfected, that it will be poisonous. He wants you to get it back, and keep 
it quiet, as the company has a reputation to protect. 

Heading to the second floor and talking to the guard, you'll be let in to 
the research room, as per the president's orders. Speak to the researchers, 
and to the other guard, upon where you'll learn that a person named Beaker 
Spoid recently was the head of the department, but after the embarassment of 
the file being stolen he quit to save face. They also say that he lives in 
the Coconuts Mansion Apartments in Kohjya, and that you might want to talk 
to him there for more info.

At Coconuts, you'll find Mrs. Spoid outside of their apartment on the second 
floor. Talking to her reveals that Spoid has a new job, and hasn't gotten 
back from it yet. She also reveals that our friend Spoid is quite the 
gambler, and has racked up a considerable debt because of it. He did 
recently pay it off in full, which was rather surprising... After that, 
you'll need to talk to the other people in the building; the Spoid's 
neighbor, Mr. Book, needs to be talked to twice. They all confirm the fact 
that Spoid was a gambling addict, and had huge loans from the loan shop in 
Dahane. So now, it is off to talk to the employees of the loan shop...

Before you do that, you can head to the gym and get a new combo by defeating 
Mr. Segasa in a sparring match. He'll teach you the six-hit Hit Strike 
Combo, and then you can be back on your way, dealing with the missing file 
of death.

After the gym, hit the Loan place in Dahane, and talk to the man who is 
standing. He'll ask you if you'd like a loan, which you'll answer no (the 
bottom answer) to, and instead begin questioning him about Mr. Spoid. They 
do in fact know him, and thought it strange that he paid back such a large 
sum of money all at once (although they don't mind, as long as the money is 
coming from somewhere...). 

At this point, you'll need to return to the Coconuts Mansion Apartments and 
talk to Mrs. Spoid again, who says that her husband is home, and is acting 
very, very strangely. Head inside to find Mr. Spoid in the bedroom... 
dancing. He says that he is really happy that he paid off his loans, and 
admits that he stole the file from Hi-To and gave it to Nomoruwa Chemicals. 
They had agreed to give him a job and pay off his debts if they did, and the 
timing was perfect, so... At any rate, they made a poison gas from the file, 
and he got a whiff of it, and now he can't stop dancing. In fact, he is 
going to dance until he dies if no antidote is found. Of course, he asks 
Rentalman to help him however he can...

Heading back to the Hi-To Pharmecutical Company, talking to the owner will 
reveal that he isn't happy that Spoid stole the gas, but says that the most 
important thing now is to create an antidote for the gas. He says that he 
will start his researchers on it immediately, and to not create confusion, 
that Rentalman shouldn't tell anyone about Spoid taking the file.

From here, head back to Spoid's, where Spoid is dancing doubletime now. As 
he is dancing like crazy, he asks you to destroy the file, which is in the 
Nomoruwa lab in Makata. He's sorry that he did what he did, and is glad that 
the people that he just backstabbed at Hi-To are helping him. As the 
conversation ends, he gets even more into the groove, and is saved at the 
last minute by a scientist from Hi-To.  After things have calmed down, talk 
to the scientist again and reply yes to his question to take the antidote 
with you to the Nomoruwa Chemicals in case you get hit with the poison gas. 
Talking to Spoid again will reveal that the guard at the plant is a dirty 
old man, and is destracted by anything sexy that goes by him. The answer? 
Playboy, of course (or in this case, Playboya). Once you've recieved thanks 
from Spoid's wife and kid, head to the bookstore in Ohtory and buy the very 
last item - Playboya [週刊プレイボ棔璽籟. Then, it's off to the docks.

Find the company, and, as Taro, talk to the guard. He will see the dirty 
magazine, and will say that kids shouldn't be reading such things, and that 
he will take it off your hands for you. As he does, he can't resist and 
starts reading it, appreciating the girl's assets. As he is, sneak by him, 
entering the lab. Searching in the side room of the lab will reveal a 
battery, which you can grab before you continue on to the room down the 
hall. Inside, the scientists will be arguing inside whether the gas is done 
- they decide that it is, and that they are going home for the day. As they 
are, they see Rentalman, and start a fight with him.

After the fight, grab the file from the back desk, and talk to each of the 
scientists to cure them of their little syndrome. The mad scientist at the 
front says that he is dancing of his own accord, and doesn't want to stop. 

Next, head back to Hi-To Pharmecuticals and give the file to the president, 
who thanks you greatly, asks that you keep everything a secret, and gives 
you your money. Another visit back to the Spoid's will reveal that Spoid was 
forgiven, and got his job back, as well as having been cured of gambling for 
good.

  **Job Description**

  The Dahane Police Department has requested help with an investigation. 
  Please see the police chief for more information.

Taking the last job, you'll find that the Dahane Police need your help in an 
investigation. Make sure that when you get on the train that you aren't in 
your Rent A Hero costume yet (if you are, it's no big deal - just skip down 
a couple of lines to get the answers to the questions). After going to the 
station itself, you'll need to find the office of the chief of police, which 
is on the second floor. Talk to him and you'll find there are a lot of 
illegal drugs going through the area, and that the police are preparing a 
huge drug bust. You'll need to help out, and to do so, you need to talk to 
the hula-shirt-wearing, sunglass-wearing, bald-headed guy in Makata. 

As you're heading to the train station, make sure that you're in your 
Rentalman costume so that you'll be accosted by Tomato Juice, who works over 
at the Akarii Publishing Company. She would like to interview you for the 
monthly magazine "Your Friendly Neighborhood Rent A Hero." The questions, 
and the "correct" answers (as well as Ms. Juice's reply to your answers) are 
as follows:

Question 1: If someone that you didn't know gave you 1000 Gold, would you 
take it?

   No - Taking money from people that you don't know is dangerous. Good 
answer.
