Ch. 3: Takara no Chizu
A few days later, life is normal as usual at the Naegi house, however, it was rather gloomy as siblings Makoto and Komaru are AWFULLY silent as they have three days left before the deadline, and they were tempted to tell their parents about it, but opted not to because they did not want to worry them and Mr. Naegi is set to leave for office and kissed his wife as he leaves, and then Mrs. Naegi took her leave as she is heading for the office, and the siblings just nodded, and she left the house.
Makoto and Komaru sat on the couch as they were depressed, as they are fearing the fact that they would be forced to leave their home should their dad fail to pay off the mortgage, and as of this moment neither of their patents discussed it, and the siblings knew that they have no place to go at this time, and are bracing themselves at the fact that they may have to stay over at one of their relatives' house which is out of Tokyo, and the siblings knew that this also means leaving their neighbors behind.
Suddenly, Mrs. Naegi came back, and both Makoto and Komaru were surprised, and there she approached her children, placed her hands on their shoulders, and gave a heart-felt talk, assuring to them that everything will be okay, urging them to have faith and believe that a miracle would take place she believes in DIVINE INTERVENTION, and told them not to give up and keep on hoping, which slightly gave the two teens a but of hope, and they nodded at what their mom told them.
"Yes, mom..."
"We will, mom..."
"We will keep faith..."
"We won't give up."
"Thanks, mom..."
"Yeah...thanks for the support."
"Good to hear that, now be upbeat and try not to feel down."
"Yes, mom."
"We will, mom."
As Mrs. Naegi kissed her children and left, Makoto and Komaru felt a bit better and decided to cling onto hope that their dad would come up with a way to pay off the mortgage so that they won't have to leave their home, and there they went back to the couch and opened the TV, where Komaru changed the channel and switched to Channel V, and there the scene shows that Sayaka Maizono had just released another music video, and with her are her idol members and are about to sing their next music, which is titled "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", and there Makoto and Komaru began watching as the music commences and the idol band began performing.

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...

After watching the music video, both siblings were relieved of their stress and are thinking of what to do, and are tempted to go out to a mall, as a way to get their minds off about the housing problem, and as Naegi went outside to check on the clothes, he saw two men in business attires standing outside the gate, and he wondered if they are from the company that Togami is leading, and decided to approach them to find out what they want.
Meanwhile, Komaru saw the scene from the window and sneaked out to see and hear the discussion, and there she became worried upon hearing the discussion, where you can see Makoto staring in utter disbelief, anger, and shock, as he was told that they have until tomorrow to pay the mortgage or face foreclosure, and he demanded why the sudden change when his dad still has three days left, but the businessman simply said that he is only here to deliver the message and nothing else.
"Sorry, kid..."
"We don't know either.'
"Its like...we're here to deliver the message."
"That is all."
"Sorry, kid."
"That's life."
"Accept it."
"Better start packing and get out tomorrow."
After that, the businessmen took their leave, and Naegi became more worried as he did not know how to tell his parents about it, and when he turn around, he saw Komaru standing there, weeping, and he realized that she overheard the discussion, and he approached his younger sister and hugged her, trying to calm her down seeing that it also affected her and he assured to her that everything will be okay, saying that their dad would come up with a miracle that would save the family from being forced out of their home, though Komaru kept on weeping at the thought that she would leave her friends behind.
By then, Yuta, Nagisa, Jetaro, Kotoko and Masaru came, and they hugged Komaru, showing their moral support which helped her, and Makoto smiled seeing that they are helping his sister and decided to go inside to prepare some snacks, and Komaru led her friends inside and went to the attic to show them some antique items which she never showed to anyone before. There Yuta and the rest noted that some of the items were filled with dusts and she showed to them some items that were on stock since her great-great grandfather died about a century ago.
As Nagisa and Kotoko are glancing at a chest which revealed an old pirate costume, Yuta and Jetaro saw a huge picture frame and glanced at it, but they accidentally dropped it and the glass panel shattered, and Komaru reprimand the two for not being careful, and the two boys scratched their heads sheepishly as they apologized to her for the troubles they just did, and promised that they would be more careful from this point on.
"Sorry..."
"We didn't mean to..."
"We'll be careful."
"Yeah...we promise..."
"Geez...just be careful, you two..."
"Yes, Komaru-chan..."
"We promise..."
"Geez..."
By then Nagisa glanced at the picture frame and took out something, which revealed that it is a map, and he examined it and told the others that the map appeared to be a treasure map that is dated back in 1635, and Komaru and the rest gathered as they glanced at the map, and there Komaru told the rest that she recalled what her grandfather told her before about the legend of the pirate named One-Eyed Willy, saying that legend has it that the treasure he searched consists of diamonds, rubies, and other valuables, and Nagisa glanced at the map, and then took out a map he has and it is revealed that the map he is holding is about Japan.
Nagisa then compared the two maps, and suspected that the treasure map resembled a place which is somewhere within Tokyo, pointing out that their current position is quite halfway near a mountain, and said that the map may be real, and he told Komaru that if this is true, then there is a possibility that the treasure could be real, and if they find it, she can use the treasure items to pay off the mortgage and their house won't be foreclosed, and this gave Komaru a slight hope, and is considering taking the risk in finding it, as Nagisa propose that they go find the treasure by following the map's direction.
"I say we go on a treasure hunt..."
"Really?
"Sounds fun..."
"What do you say, Komaru-chan? This is your chance to find a way to solve the mortgage problem."
"Hmm...I guess you're right, Yuta-kun..."
"We'll go with you, Komaru-chan."
"Me too!"
"Thanks, guys..."
However, Makoto came and overheard it, and told them not to do it, saying that it has not been proven that the treasure existed, and it would be dangerous for them to go there, but Komaru pleaded to her elder brother to let her and her friends go and try it, believing that the treasure is real, and that if it is real, they can pay off the mortgage, telling him that this is their chance to help their parents in solving the housing problem, and even Yuta and the rest supported Komaru, saying that they will be careful and that they will see to it that Komaru won't get hurt.
"We will look after Komaru-chan."
"Yeah...Yuta-san will be our leader."
"Don't worry, Makoto-senpai...I will look after Komaru-chan."
"Leave everything to us."
"We will be back...along with the treasure."
"We promise to be careful."
"Please, onii-chan..."
"Yes, please..."
However, Makoto told the kids and Komaru that he will not permit such a dangerous and risky trip, and said that they should instead believe in their parents and told them not to get into dangerous situations, and Komaru was a quite dismayed yet she had to be obedient, and he left the attic after telling them that the snacks are ready, and as Komaru is saddened, Yuta tried to comfort her as he said that he will think of something to help her, which cheered her up a bit, and she thanked him for being there for her, which Yuta smiled in reply.
However, Nagisa and Kotoko glanced at the map, and he saw a small rock-like object, and when he glanced at the map, he sees a resemblance and glanced at the map of Japan, and deduced that the treasure map is showing that there may be a hidden treasure somewhere within Tokyo and told the rest that there is a possibility that the treasure exists, and urged Komaru and the others that they should try searching for it as he believe that this may be their only shot to save the Naegi family from being forced out from their home, which Komaru became determined to take the risk as the rest appeared to agree with Nagisa.
"We should go for it."
"Nagisa's right."
"We can't miss this chance."
"We need to help Komaru-chan!"
"He's right. Kotoko, are you with us?"
"Of course!
"Then we are all in agreement."
"Right!"
After that, they are in agreement and there Komaru asks how they are going to commence their search with Makoto downstairs, and there Nagisa said to leave things to him which she felt a bit nervous knowing that this would upset her elder brother but he said that this is the only way to do it if they are to help save the Naegi house from being foreclosed, and he said that Makoto won't be harmed and assured to her that things will turn out fine.
"Don't worry, Komaru-chan."
"But...Nagisa-kun...
"Leave it to me."
"Really?
"Yes."
"...okay...just don't hurt him."
"I won't. I promise."
"Okay."
