I swear.
The people who tricked my husband will be sent to the pits of hell.
I'm going to have my revenge through scandals.
X
I see...
( Contact: Tenma Ryuji / Shukan Seiryu )
It appears that Nanjyo Yuko has another apartment
in addition to her home that she frequently visits.
She's widely known as a wealthy woman who looks young for her age (bimajo),
but she's shrouded in rumors.
You're buying all that at once?
It's just that I can hardly spend all the money I'm making.
- This is incredible. - It can't be helped, can it?
Everyone, look at this! Is that a black card I'm seeing?!
You truly are amazing. I'd love to go shopping like this
just once in my life, too.
In order to become the company's president, she fabricated a scandal
and indicted her own father... She's such a terrible woman.
When greed gets the better of you,
you'll even betray your own blood without hesitation.
Saori-san...
What are you planning to do
once you're done with your revenge?
When you cleared his soul of those regrets... What comes after that?
Never mind, let's make this a success.
I'm going to uncover Nanjyo Yuko's wickedness
and send her to the pits of hell.
I definitely will.
What's this?
The catalog of her company.
Takatsuki-kun, there's something I want you to investigate.
We're ready, Yuko-sama.
( -sama: very respectful honorific )
Please.
What are you planning to do
once you're done with your revenge?
When everything is over...
And you're coming too...
I'll be waiting for you.
Hey Sis, why don't we live together again?

Come on Mama, please! Save me!
You reap what you sow.
It's your fault for posting those pictures on your secret account.
I had no idea something like this would happen!
Haven't I told you many times? The more popular you become,
the more jealousy and prejudice you have to endure.
Someone who can't restrain herself is destined to fall into ruin.
Come on, Mama!
There's no one else I can rely on!
All of my commercial contracts got canceled and I'm being charged with a penalty of almost 100 million!
Go and ask your rich husband to pay them.
That's impossible...
He asked for a divorce the day after our wedding.
Really? This must be a new record in the world of show business?
His attitude completely changed on the day of our wedding!
In the end it was him who only married you for your degree of popularity.
Come on, Mama! Look...
Let me appear in a commercial for your company again!
I don't need to be the main star! Just a magazine ad or an online campaign!
I'll do anything! Please!
You must be joking, right? There's no way I'm going to use someone
with no commercial value like you!
How awful of you...
You got too carried away.
- I don't want it to end like that! - Your image is already ruined.
Anything you do from now on will be seen as pathetic!
- Mom, please! - Go home!
You're already finished.
Here is your hot milk.
Any progress?
Here, look at these.
As you can see, no progress.
Are you even trying?
I'd rather do it much more aggressively,
but Imamiya-san's wariness is incredible.
She sure is a formidable enemy.
Who is this man next to her?
Oh, that's Takatsuki Yuya, a pretty famous investor.
- An investor... - He seems to be killing time as a bartender.
Do you want me to follow him, too?
No, I want you to stay on Imamiya.
Then, you're requesting to extend my current task?
Yes.
I think I'll be able to expose her identity very soon.
Please be a little more patient, Tenma-san.
- Ashihara! - Yes?
- Ashihara Sakura-chan! - Why my full name?
Were you able to prepare some material for the meeting?
Nah, I got nothing but mediocre entertainment stories.
I see. I've been so busy lately, I haven't found any satisfying story myself.
Hey, enough with the excuses!
- What's up with you? You're strangely confident. - Well, the thing is, unlike you guys,
I already managed to get myself a super huge scoop.
And what story is that?
This one.
Isn't this Kishitani Osamu!? The handsome morning drama guy!
That's him. The up-and-coming young actor
and an attractive mature lady on a secret date! - Is this for real?!
Huh? This is his mother.
I saw them on a show together the other day.
- Me too. - Right?
His mother?
All you got is a heartwarming family picture!
Super huge scoop my ass.
- Are you done? You're done, right? - Yes, we're done.
You guys better get more fired up now!
Especially now that our "Seiryu" has been in the news a lot. Right, Tenma?
At the same time, criticism against us is getting louder.
Stuff like that shouldn't concern us!
I don't want to hear about hypocrites and their surface-level sense of justice.
The only thing people care about right now is who becomes the Seiryu's next victim!
That's all that matters! Keep up the quality
and dedicate yourself to squeezing out great stories!
As for you, you're doing great. Keep doing what you're doing.
By the way, is there someone you currently have an eye on?
- Yes, I do. - Okay, I can't wait!
Since it's you, you have my permission no matter what.
- Ashihara, if you'd be so kind. - Yes?
Nanjyo Yuko... The bimajo?
Find the apartment she's renting
and take pictures of everyone going in and out.
Everyone!?
Tenma-san...
If I keep doing my best, I will be able to transfer to a fashion magazine one day, right?
What did Imamiya ask you to do?
Covering Nanjyo Yuko. That famous and wealthy bimajo.
- Something wrong? - No, nothing.
- Tenma! - Ah, editor-in-chief.
You seem be pretty concerned about Imamiya somehow, huh?
I've been meaning to ask you this,
but why did you hire her for the "Seiryu"?
Well, it's as you can see, she's an excellent journalist.
If I'm not mistaken, she promoted herself heavily for the job.
That's right, after she got hired as a contract writer.
Back then, she got pictures for three stories out of nowhere!
I sure was astonished. I decided to hire her on the spot.
Might it be possible
that she wants to bring the "Seiryu" down?
The heck? That's ridiculous.
I mean, yes, she does look a bit scary, lacks sociability and is a downer,
but you're just overthinking things.
Hello. How about we have a drink?
It's about Terada Keigo.
I'd like to have a talk with you. Do you have a moment?
The goosebumps were real.
When I saw this.
This is amazing. If that doesn't scream murderous intent, what does?
You broke into my apartment?
Yes, it's a dreary apartment. Except for that one wall.
- Who are you? What's your intention? - Can you please not ask me questions?
It's rude and I don't feel like explaining myself anyway.
Your beloved husband fell victim to a scoop
and you've been holding a grudge for five years?
It involves the politician Tsukamoto and somehow
even one of my favorites, Sayumi-tan....
But using scoops as your way of making them pay,
it's so nasty I love it.
And your next target is Nanjyo-san?
I love that expression. You can't hide your unrest, huh?
Why are you investigating me? On whose orders?
I fucking told you, no questions!!
I'm sorry about that.
But that was 100% your fault right now.
So, let's get to the real issue here.
If you don't want to get your revenge exposed
you better get me 10 million.
One week from now, 9:00 pm, same rooftop.
All right, I'm looking forward to it.
I'm leaving now and will be there in 15 minutes.
Is it done?
It's a great success.
Wait, wait, wait...!
It's huge...
I have to take pictures of everyone?
Security and a concierge...
Wait, wait~
And here comes a handsome guy~
Why...
Even though I'm almost done...
Suddenly this guy...
Who the hell...
Breaking into my apartment...
It's all right.
You know that I'm going to protect you.
Yes.
Remember what happened to Keigo-san...
I was set up. Tsukamoto Shujiro,
Aihara Sayumi, Nanjyo Yuko. It's those three's fault that I...
Once I'm done and everything is exposed,
I don't care what happens to me.
That's why, right now...
Very soon, the long binding spell between you and Keigo-san will be released.
Shuri-san.
Nanjyo Yuko... I'm definitely going to
send her to the pits of hell with my own hands.
I feel it all the time.
Your presence within me.
Excuse me, but we're already closed.
Just one glass! Please?
- There you go. - Thanks.
I just had to get a drink before going home no matter what.
Huh?
Weren't you at Aihara Sayumi's wedding the other day?
Yes, I was.
I knew I've seen you somewhere before.
- That wedding sure was something else. - Indeed.
The woman next to you... your girlfriend?
No. Did it look like it?
- She's not? - No, she's an old friend of mine.
That so?
Say, did you see the article in the "Seiryu" about that time?
The pictures that were taken during the wedding
are in the "Seiryu".
It actually seems like Aihara Sayumi will be retiring.
Isn't that her own fault?
She tricked her fans by pretending to be all pure and innocent.
Well, that's true for every celebrity out there,
but her life is now over. The "Seiryu" was the nail in her coffin.
Isn't that what the "Seiryu" is known for anyway?
It's most likely not the first time, right?
For them to end someone's life.
Well, I guess that's true.
What's your relationship with Aihara Sayumi?
I'm acquainted with the bridegroom, Arishima-san.
Your friend, too?
Yes.
That woman... I feel like I've seen her somewhere before.
- What's her name again? - It's Imamiya.
- Her occupation? - A company employee, I guess.
You don't know even though she's an old friend?
Are you that curious about her?
No, I'm not particularly interested in her.
Ah, my bad! I've held you up long enough.
Here, thanks for the drink.
Were you able to satisfy your thirst?
Yes! Thanks a lot.
Please wait.
I lied about one thing.
The woman I was with at the wedding...
She's my girlfriend.
Really?
Thanks for telling me. See you!
Good morning...
I couldn't get to the underground parking entrance,
but I think I almost got everyone who came or left from the front entrance.
( handsome guys )
That handsome guy went there for three days in a row,
which is why I decided to look him up.
If you excuse me.
Kawasaki Shunya, actor and model.
Not exactly famous, to be honest.
It's just that I can hardly spend all the money I'm making.
- This is incredible. - It can't be helped, can it?
The catalog of her company.
Send this data to me.
Don't tell me, this handsome guy
is in a relationship with the bimajo?
It's a high possibility.
Ugh, he's only 19. Seriously?
Hello Yuko-san. Sure. I'll be heading there now.
Excuse me.
It's been a while since I've last seen you here, hasn't it?
Yes...
Are you here to ask about your sister?
Yes, recently she's been...
I think that all those five years
in that facility, she's been under the conviction that Keigo-san
is still alive somewhere.
But now she's found a new connection between him and her.
And that is... revenge?
The way things are, she'll never be able to forget about him.
- That's why the only way to... - But if this keeps going on...
Don't worry. Once she's done, I'm going to have a proper talk with her.
I'm glad you're her doctor.
That aside... Have you told her?
You haven't told her yet, huh?
I'm scared.
If I told her, I might become...
...her next target for revenge?
You two are sisters related by blood.
I'm sure it'll be fine.
Right...
He came here?
Yes, Tenma Ryuji... He's the one who wrote the article, right?
It's clear that he's investigating your background.
What? You went to Takatsuki's bar?
- Yeah. - Please let me know about those things.
- Did he say something about Imamiya-san? - No...
I see... I'd rather have you let me handle those things.
Attending the wedding together with Imamiya,
there's no way he doesn't know that it was her who took those pictures.
And yet he feigned ignorance.
The reasoning of Detective Tenma, huh?
It's likely that he's working with her.
Either she's simply using him in order to get her scoops...
Or...
He's probably still in the middle of investigating your background.
He doesn't yet know your true identity
and that's why he paid me a visit
If it's him, he's most likely going to find out very soon...
I need to be done before that happens.
How did it go?
I figured out their point of contact.
Please take a look.
Since the start of this year, he's appeared in three commercials
for Nanjyo's affiliate companies. All minor roles only.
There's also an increasing demand for him as a magazine model.
One of the shootings is tomorrow.
I knew it...
Kawasaki Shunya is her prey
and she lures him with jobs.
Tell me the location of tomorrow's shooting.
- You're going to meet him? - Yes.
I'm going to make him give me an exclusive confession.
Try looking this way. Yes, that's good.
Yes, nice expression. Yes! Very handsome, yes.
Nice, so manly. Yes. Let's end it with a gaze.
Yes, nice expression. Okay, Shunya-kun. Thanks. That's it.
- Thank you very much. - Yes, thank you.
- Well done, Shunya-kun. Until next time. - Thank you very much.
- You're the epitome of a fresh young man. - Thank you very much.
Even though he works in the entertainment industry,
he apparently has to work part-time to afford his tuition.
How far does he intend to go with that image?
Kawasaki Shunya?
Were you summoned to her apartment?
Who are you?
You're on your way to get embraced by Nanjyo Yuko, aren't you?
What the hell are you talking about?
No need to play dumb.
I know about the relationship between you and her.
As well as your reward
of getting money and jobs in return.
Seriously, what is this?
- More importantly, who are you? - I'm Imamiya from "Shukan Seiryu".
The "Seiryu"!?
What do you want with me?
I'd like to give you one piece of advice.
You won't ever get properly rewarded for your service.
In exchange for the service you're providing to her,
it's never going to be
more than the usual street snaps for fashion magazines or online shopping campaigns.
I also get to appear in TV.
- I appeared in four dramas this year. - Each of them
nothing but tiny roles that were barely better
than being an extra, am I right?
For someone as influencial as her,
it should be easy to get you bigger jobs.
You wouldn't know that, would you?
I do. Just look at Aihara Sayumi.
Aihara Sayumi?
As a reward for her cooperation,
she gave her a commercial deal with her own company.
Aihara Sayumi, Yuko-san did...
And she was the main star.
You know how her career turned out after that.
Why aren't you getting the same treatment...?
That is...
...because she forever wants to keep you on a short leash.
If she was to give you a big job, you might become famous.
If you become famous, she won't able to summon you whenever she pleases.
She wouldn't want that to happen.
A student working for his tuition
while chasing his dream of becoming a star...
You're the perfect being for her to surround herself with.
Like keeping a pet till it dies.
Just toying with you and your dream.
Yuko-san wouldn't...
Yuko-san would never do that!
That's just your wishful thinking!
It's because you don't want to accept that all your efforts have been for nothing.
Do you want to stay like this?
Getting your body licked all over, fondled and disgraced
by an older woman more than once in return for some petty rewards?
Until she got enough satisfaction out of you,
that cycle is most likely going to repeat for many more years.
Even if you were going to
grasp a chance that could make you famous,
she would make the necessary preparations
and make sure you'll never become famous.
That's... Then what am I supposed to do?
You should crush her before she crushes you.
The things she made you do,
give me a fully-detailed exclusive confession.
An exclusive confession...
But if I do that...
I promise that we won't publish your personal information.
If you let us publish that story,
she won't be able to recover from the damage
of her and her company's image being ruined.
If you don't do this now, all that's going to await you
is a hopeless future.
But...
If you don't commit to a change,
you'll be her pet for the rest of your life.
If you do commit to a change, there's still a chance you'll become successful in this world.
That infinite potential of yours.
Are you okay with letting it go to waste like this?
This very moment
is your last chance to break out of
Nanjyo Yuko's birdcage!
All right... I'll do as you say.
It will be over soon.
When everything is over and you're coming too...
I'll be waiting for you.
Good morning, Saori-san!
You know,
I'm still staking out Nanjyo Yuko's apartment, so...
You haven't forgotten about me, right? - That won't be necessary anymore.
Then...
I'm going to finish it tonight.
It's the final showdown! I'll come with you and...
I'll be fine alone.
I kinda wanted to go though...
- Good evening. - Good evening.
I'm leaving now and will be there in 15 minutes.
Understood. Excuse me.
Hello. Yes.
I'm going to arrive shortly.
Got it.
Good evening.
Take a picture?
I'll be summoned by Yuko-san tomorrow night.
Come and take pictures of us in the act.
Punctual to the minute. Come in.
I was set up.
Tsukamoto Shujiro...
Aihara Sayumi...
Nanjyo Yuko...
It's those three's fault that I...
( Incoming call: Kawasaki Shunya )
"Say cheese!" I guess?
That face is priceless! How does it feel to be on the other side?
You tricked me?
I sure did.
There's no way we'd betray Yuko-san.
You kept rattling on about dreams and whatnot.
I couldn't care less about those things anymore.
Becoming famous and stuff, I already gave up a long time ago.
Enjoying life is all I care about.
As long as I get money, I'm gladly getting licked all over my body.
Isn't that a talent, too?
Ugly men can't do this, but because I'm handsome, I can!
Look, can't you see? Look!
Isn't this apartment amazing!?
Yuko-san bought this and it's all for me!
This ain't no apartment a poor student could afford.
No more slugging away.
Who knew... You're just trash.
What should I do with this picture?
You were totally trespassing just now!
Maybe I should sell it to someone!?
The feeling of all the people who fell victim to the "Seiryu" before...
Wanna get a taste?
That concludes your training.
As of tomorrow, you're going to entertain our customers.
- I'm counting on you, Hiro. - Sure. If you excuse me.
You walked right into the trap!
My tummy's hurting.
I won't let it end like this.
What?
I can't hear you!
Nanjyo Yuko...
I'm definitely going to send her to hell.
And...
I'll make sure you're going to...
...burn to the bone as well.
