This is mokkori heaven on Earth!
What are you doing coming with me to a lingerie show anyway?
I'm your partner you know, and I thought maybe I'd get you some underwear.
I know exactly what you're up to.
Okay, okay. Just five more minutes then.
You're asking for another one, aren't you?
Bye now!
"Pleasant Room", in other words, a room where you can enjoy yourself.
Maybe I should pay a little visit.
Could someone fasten my snaps for me?
Certainly!
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Your beautiful skin put a spell on me,
and I could not help but follow you here.
Arisa, you're on!
If you stay here much longer, I'm going to call the police.
Arisa Hoshino, aren't you? You're coming with us!
You are...
I don't think you're gonna be able to just run away!
Who are you?
That's a pretty heavy-handed way to go about picking up a girl.
Don't you think?
Who the hell are you?
Ryo Saeba, Arisa's boyfriend.
Right?
You son-of-a... Who do you think...
Arisa, right? Are you okay?
Yes...
Impressive! You're so tough.
You're the person I've been looking for!
I might just become your girlfriend.
I don't believe it!
It's been a while since I felt this kind of mokkori high!
Hey, come on big guy. What are you doin'? Where are you takin' us?
What? I just thought I'd make the most of this opportunity
by asking the two of you to appear onstage.
Go on!
What's that?
How disgusting!
Is this part of the show?
Those shorts are so old-fashioned!
This is too embarrassing!
Those imbeciles. Looks like I'll have to do it myself.
So, you really have no idea why someone would be after you?
Not a clue!
Why don't we talk about something more pleasant?
A man and a woman alone in a car...
I like the sound of that.
Yikes! The wheel! The wheel!
We're going to crash!
I'm so sorry.
Don't mind me. Just keep your eyes on the road, okay?
There's not an ounce of common sense in the girl.
Now what?!
Ow...
What the heck is going on?
It's him!
I hope you are not injured, Arisa Hoshino.
My, my, a friend perhaps?
I don't know him. I've never seen him before.
Arisa Hoshino, I'm sorry,
but I have to request the pleasure of your company for a short time.
The likes of you? You're not my type.
I'm disappointed to hear that.
You're coming with me, even if it means using force.
Threats won't work!
Not when I have a tough bodyguard like this with me.
No choice then. I don't have time.
I'm going to have to get a little ugly here.
Boy, that toy is a fine piece of work.
Are you nuts?! This is the real thing.
But if you don't know how to use it, it might as well be a toy.
You son-of-a...
Okay, now what do you plan to do?
You're pretty darned good!
This round is a tie.
How do you figure that?
I'm looking forward to meeting you again.
You forgot something!
Okay, don't you think you should tell me now why someone's after you?
I have no idea.
I guess I'm just popular with that kind of guy. That's all.
Enough with those pitiful lies.
Do guys with guns ask people out on dates?
Oh?
I wonder what this is?
I wonder?!
Yotsui Arisa has a bodyguard? What about the job I hired you to do?
Not to worry. I'm just being careful so the police don't catch on to anything.
Just make sure you hurry.
Some tough customers told me you are the best, and that's why I hired you.
You must recover the diamond, and bring Arisa here.
You can count on it.
The word "failure" is not in my vocabulary.
A bodyguard? Just who is that guy?
Today was so nice.
I think I could really fall for you.
Think you could like a man like me?
A man without strength isn't attractive.
A man who can't protect a woman is no good whatsoever.
I pass with flying colors then.
Arisa, as of this moment, I'm your boyfriend-cum-bodyguard.
From this time forward I stick to you like glue.
We'll be as one, even at bath time or on the toilet.
Great! A rating of one hundred percent on the mokkori satisfaction scale!
Round and round he goes...
That weird guy isn't around. This is my chance.
What kind of chance?
Spying on the conversation of people in love like that.
You have an interesting way of getting your kicks, buddy.
You must be kidding. Do you think you can beat me with that toy gun?
This happens to be one well-made toy.
It can easily take care of some buck-toothed turtle like you.
You don't mean... You mean it's real?
We'll finish this later!
Don't you run away on me next time!
Is that the real thing?
Wow, this is some fancy place you're staying at.
Models must make a lot of dough.
Please...
Make yourself a drink while I take a shower.
With the woman taking the initiative for a change,
somehow I don't feel my usual self.
Hey, you want to join me?
I didn't really sweat today, so I'll pass.
My word...
What's the matter? You didn't have anything to drink.
Don't you think it's about time you told me the truth?
I see, you could tell.
Your behaviour's been a little extreme.
I guess since you've seen through me I don't have a choice.
The guy who's been chasing me is one of Shinichi Yotsui's men.
Shinichi Yotsui? You mean the heir-apparent to the Yotsui Group?
Right. I stole a diamond he treasures. That's why I'm being pursued.
I met him at a certain party a year ago.
We fell in love immediately,
and experienced the happiest time of our lives.
But it was not to last.
One day the woman Shinichi's father had chosen for him to marry appeared.
Just another one of those marriages of convenience that are so common.
As the sole heir to the Yotsui Group, he found himself caught in a dilemma.
Around that time, I heard about a diamond worth hundreds of million of yen
he had bought and was planning to send to her.
Before I knew it, I had decided to make him suffer by playing a mean trick.
He became desperate to get the diamond back, and tried all kinds of things.
And my resolve not to return it just got that much stronger.
Then I conveniently appeared,
so you turned on the charm to get me to be your bodyguard.
I'm going to go ahead and return the diamond.
I've gotten it out of my system now.
It doesn't look that way to me though.
What are you saying?
If you return the diamond, your link to him will be completely broken.
Don't rush this. You should use tonight to think things over.
Later.
Saeba! Where is Saeba?
Ryo's in the bedroom.
Thank you!
Hey, just a...
What's her problem?
Arisa...
Saeba, wake up! Saeba!
What?!
Arisa!
What a way to start your day, you immoral pervert!
It sure was painful for being such a pleasant dream and all.
I thought about what you said all night,
and I've decided not to return the diamond after all.
I've decided I have no choice but to rake him thoroughly through the coals.
So I want to officially hire you as my bodyguard.
You sure aren't the same person I saw yesterday.
Ryo, I want an explanation.
What do you mean by things like "diamond," and "rake through the coals?"
The truth is, Kaori, this is about...
It's like... and then...
So that's it.
You bum, you managed to get by without telling me a thing.
Saeba, please keep this for me.
Wow! This is a diamond valued at millions?!
Certainly, I accept.
A man who would toy with a woman's heart is beyond my forgiveness.
Not very believable considering the source.
Looking at you Saeba
makes me realize how foolish I've been for taking things so seriously.
From here on out, let's approach it like it's a game.
Are you sure that girl's okay?
Yeah, she's got me a little worried.
When I imagine Saeba staying by my side forever and ever as my bodyguard,
it makes me feel so happy inside.
What am I saying?
Oh my goodness, I have to get to work!
Hey, Arisa!
I'll be at the same place I was yesterday.
Saeba please come on down later, okay?
Do you think that means she likes you?
I guess so.
You womanizer!
Hold it right there! No time for this. She's in danger!
Damn! Time to go, Kaori!
Coming!
Don't lose him!
I don't think we have to worry.
Looks like those trouble-makers want us to follow them.
Why?
They want the diamond. She doesn't have it, so that means we do.
"Shinichi Yotsui," this is that dummy's villa.
Arisa, are you okay?
Saeba, don't let them have the diamond!
Are you the one? The one that tricked Arisa out of the diamond?
Idiot!
Is that the only way people that are warped inside like you can think?
How dare you?! Hey, shut this guy up!
We've been playing it even so far 'cause of my carelessness,
but that's not gonna happen this time.
My, my, you just don't know when to quit, do you?
Shut up!
Take this!
You're too fast!
For my next shot, do you want me to open an air-vent in your forehead?
Hey, wait! He's a killer!
We're still even!
Where are you going? I paid you! Don't you owe me a little effort?
Next time, you better hire someone you can really rely on, like me.
Damn...
They say a little learning can be a dangerous thing.
You don't really think you are going to succeed that way, do you?
Just who are you, and what do you want?
What do you hope to gain by deceiving Arisa?
Gain?
Geez, pretty big words coming from a guy
who's accepting a marriage of convenience arranged by his parents.
That's wrong! I won't get married like that. I'm going to marry Arisa!
What?!
You jerk, you wait until the end, and come up with a story like that.
It's the truth. I bought that diamond for Arisa.
Okay, then why did you hire those guys, and try to kidnap Arisa?
My thinking was affected by the fiancée chosen by my parents, that much is true.
I knew my indecision had hurt Arisa,
so I decided to express my feelings for her through actions not words,
and I bought the diamond for Arisa.
But right after I bought it, Arisa took the diamond from me.
I knew then that Arisa had misunderstood.
I wanted them to bring Arisa to me so I could clear up the misunderstanding,
and put the diamond on Arisa with my own two hands.
Geez, you certainly chose a roundabout way of doing things.
But you're too late anyway.
What do you mean?
I mean that Arisa is my girlfriend, that's what.
Ryo!
Saeba!
But there is one way you can get her back.
This has no powder in it. I'll load it.
Now, I'll load the live rounds.
What do you think? A one in six chance.
If you win, Arisa is yours.
What in hell are you...
I'm saying that those are the odds you'll be able to make Arisa happy.
Compared to turning down the woman your parents chose,
this should be easy if it means you can be with Arisa.
But you don't have to do it. If you're prepared to give her up, that is.
It's time to choose!
Arisa is mine! I won't let anyone else have her!
No, Saeba! Don't shoot!
I won't let anyone else...
Shinichi!
No way! How could I lose with the odds six-to-one?!
We did it! We did it, Arisa! We won!
Shinichi!
Damn, I lose.
What was all that nice talk with Arisa this morning about anyway?
We're going, Kaori!
None of those rounds were live, were they?
What's that?
Oh, nothing.
Thank you, Saeba.
The occasional Cupid, isn't he?
Yikes! I've been stung by a killer bee!
Here you go, this is the anti-venom! But she says it's not perfected.
I'm starting to feel really strange.
Consider it your just punishment for messing with someone else's bride.
You'll have to protect Kazue until she perfects the anti-venom,
because if you don't...
I'll be like this the rest of my life?
Little Ryo doesn't like it! I don't want to be called Lady Hunter!
See you then!
