At least whoever stole Tsubasa's invention left a pink comb and ring as compensation. Still, that didn't quite mean that he knew what to do with them! Handing both of them off to Tsukiko (without being very aware of the implications of what the latter item could bring), he eventually set to playing detective. He didn't find his invention until much later, when he found a nice pile of leaves to jump in that had been recently raked. There was a loud crack when he did as well, and he couldn't help the tears when he realised it was his poor invention stuck beneath him.

There was a note that was attached to the invention, however, saying "I just didn't want you to get caught up in another explosion." … It was oddly touching!
