1. This was the moment
that I learned two things.Copy !req
2. That you don't realize
what's important to you until it's gone.Copy !req
3. And that...Copy !req
4. it's only too easy to lose.Copy !req
5. And that made me scared.Copy !req
6. Even if I bonded
with something precious to me...Copy !req
7. wouldn't I just lose it again?Copy !req
8. Just thinking that...Copy !req
9. Don't worry.Copy !req
10. I'm not going anywhere.Copy !req
11. PLAN 1Copy !req
12. All right! Lunchtime!Copy !req
13. Let's go to the cafeteria!Copy !req
14. Asano!Copy !req
15. Listen, we've got
a practice soccer match coming up.Copy !req
16. Help us out!Copy !req
17. Hey, how about a study group at my house?Copy !req
18. Let's go to karaoke after school!Copy !req
19. Asano!Copy !req
20. S-Sorry. Can't do it.Copy !req
21. Oh, crap, he turned us down again!Copy !req
22. What's this, our tenth straight fail?Copy !req
23. You play harder to get
than any girl, Asano.Copy !req
24. Asano! We've been in the same class
for a month now.Copy !req
25. Let's hang out!Copy !req
26. It makes us sad, you know!Copy !req
27. Hey, better back off now.Copy !req
28. - Huh? Why is that?
- Look at him.Copy !req
29. He's so nervous, he's blacked out.Copy !req
30. Answering us that first time
must have wiped him out.Copy !req
31. I thought that he would
have come around a little after a month.Copy !req
32. You have to feel sorry
for anyone who's that shy, huh?Copy !req
33. Yup.Copy !req
34. The thing is,
it's not like I'm shy or anything.Copy !req
35. I'm happy that they asked me to hang out,Copy !req
36. and it would be great
to talk about stuff with them.Copy !req
37. But...Copy !req
38. Forget it.Copy !req
39. Let's try again tomorrow, okay?Copy !req
40. You turned them down again?Copy !req
41. Mutsumi.Copy !req
42. But they were nice enough to ask you!Copy !req
43. Who cares? Just leave me alone!Copy !req
44. - I made us lunch, so let's eat!
- No, I'm—Copy !req
45. I know you haven't been eating right
because you're always working!Copy !req
46. I've got some of that salty tamagoyaki
that you like, Taiyo.Copy !req
47. And, hey, if you leave your carrots
again, you'll live to regret it!Copy !req
48. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
49. That's my boy!Copy !req
50. Wow, can you believe Yozakura?Copy !req
51. Still, why would the idol of this school,
Yozakura, do that?Copy !req
52. I hear that those two
are childhood friends.Copy !req
53. I-I'm so jealous.Copy !req
54. Look at you, always alone.Copy !req
55. It worries me, thinking that you could
spend the rest of your life like this!Copy !req
56. Who are you, my mom?Copy !req
57. Who are you to talk? Didn't you
turn down that third-year, Tanaka?Copy !req
58. Huh? Oh, yeah.Copy !req
59. He's smart, he's good-looking, and he's
the captain of the soccer team, right?Copy !req
60. I mean, what's not to like?Copy !req
61. Oh?
And who are you, Taiyo, my father?Copy !req
62. Hey, wipe that smug look
off your face!Copy !req
63. Never mind about me, okay?Copy !req
64. What you need to do is to finally
move on, or your parents will be sad.Copy !req
65. So that's why you need
to rehab your communication skills.Copy !req
66. Here! Say "ahh."Copy !req
67. How is this rehab?Copy !req
68. Never mind! Just eat!Copy !req
69. Ahh...Copy !req
70. Ahh!Copy !req
71. So tasty!Copy !req
72. M-Mr. Hirukawa?Copy !req
73. Come on! You promised
to stop snacking, remember?Copy !req
74. Hey, my bad.Copy !req
75. My body reacted
to the scent of your tamagoyaki.Copy !req
76. Hmm? What's wrong, Asano?Copy !req
77. Uh... Nothing.Copy !req
78. Where did he come from? Out of nowhere?Copy !req
79. Mr. Hirukawa, aren't you supposed to be
on a business trip overseas for a lecture?Copy !req
80. Well, I missed
your lunches so much, Mutsumi,Copy !req
81. that I changed my schedule
to come home earlier.Copy !req
82. Oh.Copy !req
83. Still, I have to say that white streak
is as gorgeous as ever!Copy !req
84. I wanna rub my cheek against it!Copy !req
85. Do that, and I'll report you!Copy !req
86. If you're done here, please go back
to the vice principal's office.Copy !req
87. Huh? Oh, but I'm not.
I'm so not done here yet!Copy !req
88. Hey, Asano,
come to my office when school's out.Copy !req
89. Huh? Y-You mean me?Copy !req
90. That's right.Copy !req
91. Uh... Did I do something?Copy !req
92. Right, see you later!Copy !req
93. Hey, wait—Copy !req
94. What's the deal with that guy?Copy !req
95. See ya, Asano!Copy !req
96. Uh... S-See you.Copy !req
97. - Hey, let's hit the karaoke booth!
- Hey, sounds good!Copy !req
98. What should we sing?Copy !req
99. A medley of this season's
opening themes, what else?Copy !req
100. Ever since that day, I've been
afraid to connect with other people.Copy !req
101. VICE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE
HIRUKAWA'S ROOMCopy !req
102. E-Excuse me!Copy !req
103. Hey, you're here?
I've been waiting for you!Copy !req
104. T-Too close.Copy !req
105. Um, what exactly am I here for?Copy !req
106. Oh, well... I really wanted
to show you my collection, see.Copy !req
107. Collection?Copy !req
108. Ta-da!
My "secret shots of Mutsumi" collection!Copy !req
109. Huh? What a pervert!Copy !req
110. I want your evaluation
as her childhood friend.Copy !req
111. I mean, I knew Mutsumi
was a favorite of Mr. Hirukawa's, but...Copy !req
112. See, look! This is my personal favorite!Copy !req
113. He's a lost cause.
This is pathetic.Copy !req
114. I guess I'd better report him.Copy !req
115. Y-Yes, it's nice.Copy !req
116. Hey, how about this one?Copy !req
117. Mutsumi playing Sevens at home!Copy !req
118. Isn't she cute?Copy !req
119. What?Copy !req
120. Hey, here she is at five.
I took this at the park.Copy !req
121. Brings back memories.Copy !req
122. Ugh!Copy !req
123. Aww... This is the one I took
when she was three,Copy !req
124. at her Shichigosan celebration.Copy !req
125. What an angel!Copy !req
126. Huh? Why would a teacher
like him have pictures like these?Copy !req
127. You see...Copy !req
128. I've been watching over Mutsumi
from the shadows all this time.Copy !req
129. Since Mutsumi is so gorgeous,
to shield her from all the undesirables,Copy !req
130. I've been keeping
an eye on her constantly,Copy !req
131. nonstop, without a break.Copy !req
132. That third-year kid, Tanaka,
was pretty pesky yesterday,Copy !req
133. but when I graciously asked him
to stay away from Mutsumi,Copy !req
134. he gladly agreed to comply in the end.Copy !req
135. Go on.
Once more, in a great big voice.Copy !req
136. I-I'll never go near Yozakura again!Copy !req
137. This dude... He's totally insane!Copy !req
138. I've got to do something,
or Mutsumi will—Copy !req
139. I envy you, Asano.Copy !req
140. Getting those homemade lunches
from Mutsumi...Copy !req
141. I've been looking the other way
since you're Mutsumi's childhood friend,Copy !req
142. but things have changed,
and that just won't be possible now.Copy !req
143. Damn it!Copy !req
144. I can't make a sound.
My legs are frozen, too.Copy !req
145. Mutsumi's in danger, but I...Copy !req
146. Don't take it personally.Copy !req
147. This is all for the sake
of my beloved kid sister.Copy !req
148. Huh?Copy !req
149. Stop it right there.Copy !req
150. Huh?Copy !req
151. VICE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE
HIRUKAWA'S ROOMCopy !req
152. Hey, you're awake!Copy !req
153. Morning, Taiyo!Copy !req
154. Mutsumi?Copy !req
155. Glad to see you're all right.Copy !req
156. Wh-Who are you?Copy !req
157. Taiyo, it's all right! Look, it's me!Copy !req
158. Nanao, there's no way
you're hiding all that behind Mutsumi.Copy !req
159. M-Mutsumi! Who are these people?Copy !req
160. Well, it's kind of a long story.Copy !req
161. But for now, let me introduce them to you.Copy !req
162. These are my siblings.Copy !req
163. S-Siblings?Copy !req
164. This is my big sister, Futaba.Copy !req
165. Nice to meet you.Copy !req
166. And this my big brother, Shinzo.Copy !req
167. N-Nice to meet you.Copy !req
168. This is Big Sis Shion.Copy !req
169. Yo.Copy !req
170. - And Kengo.
- Hey there.Copy !req
171. And Nanao!Copy !req
172. H-Hello!Copy !req
173. And this is our guard dog, Goliath!Copy !req
174. As you can see, we're a family of spies!Copy !req
175. It was really tough, keeping my mouth shut
about that for ten-plus years.Copy !req
176. What a relief!Copy !req
177. Hold up! Hold up! Hold up!Copy !req
178. Spies? What are you talking about?Copy !req
179. I can't process that like you'd said,
"We're a family of greengrocers!"Copy !req
180. It's just that
instead of eggplants and radishes,Copy !req
181. we deal in guns and intel.
Isn't it kinda the same?Copy !req
182. Not at all! It's totally different!Copy !req
183. I know! I'm getting pranked.
You're pranking me, right, Mutsumi?Copy !req
184. Like, this gun is just a toy, right?Copy !req
185. Hey, watch out!Copy !req
186. Well, hey.
Unlike in books and movies,Copy !req
187. being a spy is just
a common, ordinary job.Copy !req
188. Lately, there's been a surge
in cheap public-servant spies,Copy !req
189. so as freelancers,
we can't compete, can we?Copy !req
190. Oh, we'll be fine.Copy !req
191. I mean, we do lead the rankings
on the review sites, with 4.8 stars.Copy !req
192. Reviews for spies?
Isn't that a huge info leak?Copy !req
193. True that. And we've got Big Bro Kyoichiro
to boost our popularity.Copy !req
194. The undisputed number one "Male Spy That
Female Spies Want to Be Targeted By"!Copy !req
195. Well, he's also number one
in hate-thread size by a mile.Copy !req
196. What? Mr. Hirukawa?Copy !req
197. You know him, right?Copy !req
198. The eldest son
of the Yozakura family, Kyoichiro.Copy !req
199. As a person, he's flawed,
but in every other aspect,Copy !req
200. combat power, intelligence,
he's the best spy in our family.Copy !req
201. B-But why would your brother target me?Copy !req
202. Because we got a tip...Copy !req
203. that someone was plotting to kill Mutsumi.Copy !req
204. Hold on a second! I would never...Copy !req
205. Well, we did get the intel
from that moronic social media post.Copy !req
206. Huh? Social... media?Copy !req
207. Spies on social media?Copy !req
208. Not only that, they've got
a ton of followers too!Copy !req
209. Years ago, during a certain incident...Copy !req
210. Mutsumi suffered a near-fatal injury
because of Kyoichiro.Copy !req
211. That white hair is a remnant
of the stress from that accident.Copy !req
212. Ever since then, his sense of guiltCopy !req
213. has made him obsess over Mutsumi
to an abnormal degree.Copy !req
214. He's changed his name and job
so he can surveil her,Copy !req
215. and he'll interfere with everything,Copy !req
216. from her daily life
to her personal connections.Copy !req
217. He's turned into
a Mutsumi-protecting monster.Copy !req
218. Despite his hatred for you,Copy !req
219. he's always given you a pass
as Mutsumi's childhood friend.Copy !req
220. But now he has a reason
to justify getting rid of you.Copy !req
221. I really am sorry
that my brother is such an idiot.Copy !req
222. Oh... no... uh...Copy !req
223. Whoops. Speak of the devil.Copy !req
224. Wh-What's going on?Copy !req
225. Kyoichiro has
just returned to this house.Copy !req
226. He probably means to finish you off.Copy !req
227. Now, now, calm down.Copy !req
228. After all,
you're safest with us, you know.Copy !req
229. Shion, Shinzo...Copy !req
230. Every door leading
to this room has been locked.Copy !req
231. And I've set every trap
we have on hand.Copy !req
232. There's no getting through to that guy,
so what can we do?Copy !req
233. All right, you guys, we're going to
give that moron a beatdown!Copy !req
234. B-Beatdown?Copy !req
235. Well, not that
the odds are on our side.Copy !req
236. Even at five to one, our win rate
for past head-on clashes was a mere 30%.Copy !req
237. There's also a 42% chance of one of us
needing six months of recoveryCopy !req
238. and a 25% chance
of the house burning down.Copy !req
239. Well, then, we should just
look at it as an early renovation!Copy !req
240. B-But... it would be
because of me. That's too...Copy !req
241. It's always been a family issue.Copy !req
242. Don't give it a second thought.Copy !req
243. There's just one way
for you to survive this.Copy !req
244. What?Copy !req
245. Hey... Big Sis!Copy !req
246. You two need to get married.Copy !req
247. M-Married?Copy !req
248. Look at that steam.Copy !req
249. Well, who can blame him?Copy !req
250. If you marry into our family,
in accordance with our one rule...Copy !req
251. "No killing among family members,"
your life, at least, can be preserved.Copy !req
252. You only have to exchange rings
to marry a Yozakura.Copy !req
253. This Cherry Blossom Ring is double-banded.Copy !req
254. The moment you give half to your spouse,
your marriage becomes official.Copy !req
255. Even that idiot isn't stupid enough
to break such an ironclad rule.Copy !req
256. And I think it'll be a good chance for himCopy !req
257. to finally get over his sister fetish.Copy !req
258. Well, that's just what I personally hope.Copy !req
259. To protect you and to protect Mutsumi.Copy !req
260. Not a bad idea, wouldn't you agree?Copy !req
261. Me and Mutsumi, get married?Copy !req
262. Marriage...Copy !req
263. family.Copy !req
264. No.Copy !req
265. I'm not marrying Taiyo.Copy !req
266. Mutsumi...Copy !req
267. I'm sorry, Big Sis Futaba.
I know you're looking out for us.Copy !req
268. But you know, right?
That Taiyo's lost his family.Copy !req
269. Even now, he can't talk to people
or even sleep.Copy !req
270. He's still coming to terms
with the loss of his family.Copy !req
271. No one knows better than Taiyo
what that pain is like,Copy !req
272. so casually telling him,
"Join our family..."Copy !req
273. that would be too cruel.Copy !req
274. Mutsumi...Copy !req
275. Gotcha.Copy !req
276. Sorry to be so insensitive.Copy !req
277. No, no, it's all right.Copy !req
278. What's going on?Copy !req
279. Why am I feeling so conflicted?Copy !req
280. Okay! Now that that's settled,Copy !req
281. let's do our best
to clobber that stupid eldest son!Copy !req
282. Yeah!Copy !req
283. What about strategy?Copy !req
284. Huh? Can't we just wing it?Copy !req
285. Sorry to drag you
into our family problems, Taiyo.Copy !req
286. I-I'm getting nervous.Copy !req
287. Hey, it's gonna be okay, Big Bro Shinzo.Copy !req
288. Leaving me out, so cruel of you.Copy !req
289. Let me join in on the fun!Copy !req
290. So? Who are we clobbering?Copy !req
291. Wh-When did he get here?Copy !req
292. Oh, hey, Shinzo.Copy !req
293. You renovated the traps
around the mansion, right?Copy !req
294. Well, evading them was a pain,
so I destroyed them all.Copy !req
295. My bad.Copy !req
296. S-Seriously?Copy !req
297. I'm only going to warn you once.Copy !req
298. Back off from these two, Kyoichiro.Copy !req
299. No can do.Copy !req
300. There's no guarantee that he's harmless,Copy !req
301. and for Mutsumi's sake, "guilty until
proven innocent" is how I roll!Copy !req
302. If you have a problem with that,Copy !req
303. as Yozakura, you can use force to...Copy !req
304. That's what
we're going to do, all right.Copy !req
305. All right. Time for a sibling fight!Copy !req
306. Sorry, Big Bro!Copy !req
307. Whoa.Copy !req
308. Sorry, Nanao.Copy !req
309. Big Bro is busy, so let's play later.Copy !req
310. Shinzo! Nanao! Get out of the way!Copy !req
311. That was pretty good teamwork, you know.Copy !req
312. But you left yourselves
way too open after that one strike.Copy !req
313. Now, enough with the training.
Just hand over that guy.Copy !req
314. Otherwise... I'm going to
rip this house to shreds.Copy !req
315. Wh-What's that?Copy !req
316. His special weapon, Steel Spider.Copy !req
317. Mutsumi, we're going to buy you some time,
so you take that kid and run!Copy !req
318. What?Copy !req
319. Let me go, damn it,
you jerk-ass eldest son!Copy !req
320. Don't rage like that, Futaba,
or your body will get julienned!Copy !req
321. Damn it!Copy !req
322. Hey, Kengo, what are you waiting for?Copy !req
323. Okay.Copy !req
324. Both of you, this way.Copy !req
325. This game is impossible
at your skill level, Shion.Copy !req
326. Shut up, perv.Copy !req
327. I don't care if it's
an impossible game or a crap one!Copy !req
328. For a real gamer,
fun means pulling out all the stops!Copy !req
329. That's so cool!Copy !req
330. A-Are they okay? The others?Copy !req
331. Yes. Remember what Big Sis Futaba said?Copy !req
332. We're not allowed to kill
any family members, so it's all good.Copy !req
333. B-But...Copy !req
334. Don't worry about it. Come on.
You need to hide now, Taiyo.Copy !req
335. Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere.Copy !req
336. How pesky were those drones?Copy !req
337. All right, come over here, Mutsumi.Copy !req
338. I wouldn't want to soil you
with his blood splatter.Copy !req
339. There you go. That's a good girl.Copy !req
340. Now, then,
dive into your big brother's arms!Copy !req
341. Awesome disguise there, Kengo.Copy !req
342. Right down to the same number
of eyelashes. I'm impressed!Copy !req
343. Whoops. You got me.Copy !req
344. But you still haven't mastered
the art of disguising others.Copy !req
345. Come on, Mutsumi.Copy !req
346. Be a good girl,
and tell me where you hid him.Copy !req
347. Damn it. What should I do?Copy !req
348. Listen up, Taiyo.Copy !req
349. Whatever happens,
don't ever come out of there, all right?Copy !req
350. Big Bro!
Stop this nonsense already!Copy !req
351. I'm telling you,
Taiyo's not trying to kill me!Copy !req
352. You know all about it, too, don't you?
About Taiyo's family?Copy !req
353. So please don't hurt Taiyo anymore.Copy !req
354. All right, fine, Mutsumi.
I won't lay a hand on him anymore.Copy !req
355. Big Bro...Copy !req
356. And I'm also not going
to let you out of the house anymore.Copy !req
357. What?Copy !req
358. Out there,
you'll attract the unsavory,Copy !req
359. and I'll have failed you
as your big brother.Copy !req
360. From now on, I'm going to do much,
much more to keep you safe, all right?Copy !req
361. Big Bro.Copy !req
362. It's dangerous,
so you don't need to go outside.Copy !req
363. The Internet is dangerous too,
so no smartphone for you.Copy !req
364. I'm going to rid the world of everything
that could put you in danger.Copy !req
365. School, your friends, fun, romance,
I'll get rid of them all.Copy !req
366. I'll eliminate all that's unnecessaryCopy !req
367. so you can have
a safe, peaceful household.Copy !req
368. Ah, just imagining it
makes my heart flutter!Copy !req
369. The day that I nearly lost you,
I vowed to accept any kind of painCopy !req
370. if only I could keep this child safe.Copy !req
371. I would give up my own life
in order to protect you, my beloved.Copy !req
372. Now then, Mutsumi...Copy !req
373. forget about that guy,
and let's live in peace.Copy !req
374. Okay.Copy !req
375. Sorry... Taiyo.Copy !req
376. Taiyo.Copy !req
377. Let Mutsumi go.Copy !req
378. I have no use for you anymore.Copy !req
379. Kindly refrain from sticking your nose
in my family's business.Copy !req
380. This guy is probably just like me.Copy !req
381. He's afraid to lose
what's precious to him.Copy !req
382. But making the precious person
he wants to protect look like that...Copy !req
383. I just know that's wrong!Copy !req
384. Mutsumi...Copy !req
385. Let's do it.Copy !req
386. That method that your sister said
would keep both of us safe.Copy !req
387. But...Copy !req
388. I'll be fine.Copy !req
389. Because you promised me
that you weren't going anywhere.Copy !req
390. Okay.Copy !req
391. Well, that was close.Copy !req
392. Damn that Futaba,
putting ideas in your heads.Copy !req
393. But there's no chance in hell
that I'd ever let you do that.Copy !req
394. Hey, Mutsumi...Copy !req
395. thanks for always protecting
the hopeless wreck that I am.Copy !req
396. That's why...Copy !req
397. from now on...Copy !req
398. I'm going to be the one to protect you!Copy !req
399. Are you both okay?Copy !req
400. I promise you,
