"Sana, a mysterious woman with a scar on her back had suddenly showed up in the modern world..."
If that's the case, it's okay to stay here until I say so.
Live with me.
"Sana, who once lived a horrific life in the world of the Warring States..."
"...sealed a contract with Masako, her lifesaver."
"With both hearts beset with darkness, the meeting between Masako and Sana..."
"...started social reform."
"Knowing her tremendous physical ability, Masako tasks Sana to lend a hand..."
"...in saving the son of snack bar owner, Mitsuko..."
"...and rounded up the group behind the 'Ore-Ore' scam."
There's no more Ninja left in the world.
No more?
"Then, after finding out that she had lived 400 years ago..."
"...Sana fell into a state of turmoil."
Yuu~!

"Onee-chan..."
Are you crying?
All the pain and hurt... Fly away~!
Grandma taught me that magic spell.
It works, you know.
Kanako!
I told you not to talk to her. Let's go.
Look, I don't know who or what you are but...
...don't go tricking my daughter. Let's go.
Masako-san.
Oh, dear, Sensei, you're just too sexy.
...I'm starting to get the wrong idea. Oh my~...
I train by looking eye to eye... That is my policy.
- I see. - Ryu-sama~!
Please teach us, too.
Oh, so... that's enough for me.
Ah, somehow, I've gotten better.
Macchan, didn't you have pain in your lower back?
I didn't hear that.
What are you saying. It's stress, you know.
Back pain caused by stress from my daughter-in-law.
But he's so wonderful... Like a May breeze...
...his smile is so re-fresh-ing.
That face and that body... (Repeats in English)
- Mitsuko, don't those two lines mean the same thing? - Perfection.
Hello~!
It's home delivery bento, Magokoro Apron!
Well, he's a man too, but a little different.
Ladies, my chest will welcome you anytime~!
- His gags are corny. - You know...
I heard from the proprietor of the Japanese confectionery shop...
...that that person used to be in prison.
- You don't say! - There's been...
...those burglary incidents lately around the neighborhood, right? Picnic?
- No, you mean, "picking." - Oh, right. Picking.
Could it be that he's the culprit?
Thank you as always!
And you know what else? The proprietress of Butsudan-ya saw him.
- What did she see? - That man...
...has been staring lewdly at an elementary school student. - Oh, dear~!
How scary~!
It's good, isn't it.
- You want this? - Yes.
Is it gonna be a good day, today?
- Yo! - Hey, Tatsu. You're early today, huh?
Well, yeah, it's so much fun!
- Thanks to you, Hide-san. - Over here, I'm...
...Store Manager.
You know, I've been doing my best.
Because Hide-chan, I mean, Store Manager... I don't want to cause trouble to you.
If you cause trouble here, I'll fire you, okay?
Yeah.
Make sure of that. Oi, oi, oi!
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha!
Hey! It's a nice morning today, isn't it?
Quit your blabbering. Go back to jail, will ya?
You're the burglar goin around the neighborhood, aren't ya?
That's a load of bananas. I ain't monkeying around like that!
Jk, Jk!
So... I'm off!
Guts!
(Magokoro Apron)
(Homeowner killed after encountering culprit... Series of burglary incidents)
(Series of burglary incidents, 8 in Katsushika Ward)
I swear, these cops... It's inexcusable! (Series of burglary incidents, 8 in Katsushika Ward)
- What is that?! - A burglar alarm.
You don't need something like a burglar alarm!
Yes, I do! I'm a single lady living alone.
You don't need to protect yourself. You'll be just fine.
- Sayuda, go and stick these seals on the back window. - What seal are those?
- Security seals. - You don't need that.
Yes, I do. I'm a fragile person.
- You shoulda place it on your mouth. - YOU should do that instead.
- Someone's here. - Welcome! Huh?
- What happened? - On the road over there...
"Mai..."
Don't tell me... she was trying to kill herself?
Mai...
- Mai... - Mai?
- Mai?
Miss, try to get a hold of yourself. Are you all right?
- She's come around. - Where am I?
Snack Bar Tenshukaku. It's not a suspicious place.
- No, no... It IS suspicious. - Sayuda.
When you collapsed, this girl saved you.
Thank you. Sorry for inconveniencing you.
- Are you okay? Be careful now. - Wait...
You better rest a bit more. Okay?
That's right. As you can see, we have no customers around anyway.
I'm fine. I'm just tired.
- Sana, please take her home. - It's not really...
It's too risky to be on your own. Okay?
Thank you.
- Take care. - Thank you so much.
Take care.
Oh!
Did she leave this behind? Look.
- Is it her daughter? - Oh, hey, hey...
- Oh, Pecchan. - You know what?
- What is it? - The one who came out just now...
Wasn't it Ayane-san?
- Ayane-san... you mean this person? - Right, right...
I had my ureteral stones taken out, right?
At that time, she was the nurse who helped me.
Tanihara Ayane-san's her name, and she took good care of me.
- This child...? - Oh, this one...
...her daughter. I'm sure her name's... let's see...
...Mai-chan!
That's the name she said, during her delirium...
It seems she had broken up with her husband three years ago but...
She's raising her daughter alone. She's a fine mother.
Um... I'll be fine here...
My stomach is...
The toilet's here.
I am grateful.
- You had a visitor? - Uh... yes.
Just...
What? What's the matter?
No, it's nothing...
- You want to ask me something? - Not really.
I see. What's for dinner?
Sorry, there's none yet. I'll prepare it right away.
No problem. Take your time.
There's a young man huh?
- And... - And?
Blood.
Blood?
Small "m"? It doesn't seem to be enough for an "m"...
- What does it mean? - I do not know.
You threw out the over-sized garbage.
Thanks.
It was always getting in the way.
Ryo-kun... About Mai... Perhaps...
"She's going to continue living at her grandmother's."
That line's okay with you, right?
Yes.
Hey, hey, hey...
What happened, Shudo-san?
The series of burglary incidents...
...it seems Hachimaki's behind the lockpicking modus operandi.
Hachimaki?
Real name, Yamaki Tatsu.
Even if it's locked, he can pick it open with a wire after 8 seconds, thus his nickname, "Hachimaki*." (*"Hachi" = 8).
At age 18, an incident resulting in injury led him to become a professional cat burglar and...
...he's been in and out of jail since.
He was released from prison a year ago, huh.
He has fallen so far down as to kill, huh?
You're investigating the burglary incidents?
We can't rely on the police. Plus they're in our neighborhood.
Hey, guys, look.
I knew it, I'm such a genius.
Wow, you're really something!
The crimes took place around pachinko parlors, huh?
- Seems to be happening within a 3 km radius. - What if, Sensei...
...we watch over these areas, could we catch the culprit?
Well, it's easier said than done. Right, Sensei?
- Yeah... - What're you saying?
With Sensei and Sana, it'll be fine.
I'm sorry but you have to do some patrolling...
Will do.
Uh, by the way, don't you have a digicam?
- Digicam. Yep! Sayuda, the digicam please. - Here!
Thanks.
Here, I'll click it here, right?
Ready. Here we go. Make a cute face~.
Are you okay? It's called a camera, y'know.
Look, it's your picture.
With this, you take some irrefutable evidence...
Then the cops will move in.
Cops?
The magistrate's office. Got it?
And also, don't forget your promise to me...
- Promise? - Yes.
"You must not kill people."
"Do not kill."
"Do not kill..."
"...any of the bad people." - Right.
Help anyone in need.
- You got that? - Aye.
Why can't I kill the bad people?
If someone hurts my loved ones, even I would want to exact revenge.
But I can't do such a thing.
For the victims, the law seems unreasonable, right?
Everything is completely different here.
Why did the Shinobi disappear?
Because they were no longer needed.
Why is that? Then, why am I here...
Your way of talking... sounds like you're from a different era.
You're...
...a Shinobi, aren't you?
Like in a time slip?
Just kidding...
It's about time for my class.
Please take care of the rest from here.
Bye.
Time...
...sli ...tsubu...?
Hachimaki.
- Shudo-san! - I can see you're doing well.
Well, you know...
You're off your game huh?
You left a scratch on the door, and not only that...
...you resorted to killing.
If it's about the burglary incidents, it wasn't me.
There was an eyewitness testimony.
A man was running away from the crime scene, wearing a jacket from your shop.
Jacket?
If it's like my jacket, mine got stolen at the park last month.
It's the truth!
Someone... is framing me...
It's cold, you know. Inside the jail in wintertime.
It wasn't me! I swear!
Well, whatever.
Sonny...
You don't seem well?
What's the matter? You seem disheartened.
You said it, Onee-san.
If your smile has been taken from you, what are we supposed to do?
If you're ever in trouble, call here.
(Snack bar, Tenshukaku)
- Then, you gave him my business card? - I had to.
I can understand. Yamaki-san doesn't seem fine.
- You have guests. - Guests?
Hachimaki... What's the matter?
- Who's the child? - Mai.
- She's your child? - No.
This child is under my custody.
- Can you tell us why? - Yes.
"What a nice weather. Feels good."
"Are you hungry?"
"You can eat this if you like?"
"Here."
"Go on."
"It's yummy."
"Here's some chopsticks."
From then on...
I'd deliver her bento.
"Can we switch?"
- "Good." - "Thanks, mister."
"Man~..."
"Stop calling me 'mister'."
"Right... Jack."
"You can call me Jack."
"Well, you know, Jack... Captain Jack."
"He's a famous pirate."
"He's cool, y'know!"
"Savvy~?"
"Ouch! It's tingling."
"She's not here yet."
"Wow, looks yummy!"
But on that day...
...since she didn't come, I became worried...
"Hello! It's Magokoro Apron."
Since she told me where she lives, I went to visit her.
I had a bad feeling...
"Mai!" - "Help me!"
"Ryo-kun... Ryo-kun will..."
"Ryo" is... the Mom's...?
Yeah. She's being abused by her Mom's boyfriend.
I couldn't leave it alone.
But since I have a criminal record...
...who would believe me?
"Tell your mom everything."
"Then what are we going to do?"
- "What do you want to do?" - "I want to stay with you, Jack."
But... because of my burglary offenses, the cops are gonna suspect me.
To be honest, I don't know much about taking care of girls.
There are facilities which can protect you.
Would you like to go there?
Listen, it's probably best...
...to go to the police? - You can't rely on the police.
I think so too...
But what should I do?
Leave it to us.
We'll protect... you both.
Now, let's make a delicious meal.
Before that, let's wash our hands and gargle.
- They're increasing! - Increasing?
See that?
The one wearing the white coat is the "YomeGon" of this house...
When she gets mad, she spits fire, scary~... (*Yomego = daughter-in-law / bride + "Gon" = fire-spitting dinosaur character)
Who you calling "YomeGon*"? (*Yomego = daughter-in-law / bride + "Gon" = fire-spitting dinosaur character)
Oh, my... A good evening to you.
Good evening. Mother!
Don't just go around bringing in kids you don't know.
Sorry but this child is the granddaughter of a close friend.
- Dear, talk to her. - Uh, Mom...
Look, if you have time to care for other people's children...
...there's Kanako and Kyoko here.
In other words, there's no room for them.
What I do is none of your business!
It was my husband who shed blood, sweat, and tears...
...building this house. Who are you, just a bunch of occupants...
My God, Mother, please don't involve us in your mess.
ENOUGH!
Here it is... oh, hot, hot!
What is it?
What? Eh?
What is it? Huh?
What...
Mai-chan is drawing, isn't she?
Mai-chan.
- Are those seagulls? - Yes.
Well, you're quite good.
I saw them with my mom.
- There were so many of them flying. - Really~?
You're so good at it...
What's wrong, Mai-chan?
Wounds inflicted on one's body... are engraved on one's heart.
That kind of pain...
...stays with you forever.
Sana...
Eh?!
I will never...
...forgive this!
Sana.
Tenchu!
Aye.
Eat some fish, too.
Can I have a moment of your time?
Then, Mai is safe?
- Yes. - Where is she now?
Before that, there's something important we need to discuss.
Huh?
Thanks and good job, ladies~! (Magokoro Apron)
- You, too~. - See ya tomorrow.
What're you doing?
Hey, did you run away?
Tsk... I give up... Can't be helped huh?
Fine...
Had an early shift today, so my work is done... I'll take you somewhere.
Okay?
- Crap. - Let's go after him!
What? You lost Yamaki?
Abused?
Since Mai-chan didn't want to worry you...
...she endured it all throughout the time.
- I knew it... - You knew what...
Ryo-kun's sense of "discipline"...
...is placing Mai inside the store room.
I felt uneasy... what if Ryo-kun might have killed her...
That's why, I couldn't call the police.
Why didn't you call the police if you knew about such a thing?
I felt terrible for Mai.
But I was scared.
- Does he hit you, too? - No.
Ryo-kun is very kind to me.
That's why, I'm scared that he'll abandon me.
This is not a joke.
Is this man more important to you than the child you've labored for and gave birth to?
Is this man more important? You're a mother, aren't you!
"Mom"... "Mom"...
I'm sick of it!
I may be a mother, but I'm a woman, too.
I'm alone working and raising a child...
No matter how hard I work, it's only common and expected work...
Nobody praises me!
I'm only blamed for what I can't do.
I can't even spit out my complaints...
"You're a mom so you must work hard."
Despite the difficulties, despite the pain, I've worked hard up till now.
Stop behaving like a spoiled child!
It's not just you.
All single moms in the world are working hard.
You're doing your best, and Mai-chan too.
What's worst about you...
...is although you noticed it, you pretended not to see it.
Mai-chan may forgive you but I won't.
When your baby inside of you moved...
When her small hands gripped yours back...
Oh, how she tottered when she walked. Called you "Mama"...
Have you forgotten those things?
No one can protect Mai-chan except you!
Look.
Have a look, Ayane-san. Look at it.
Seagulls.
Mai-chan is saying, "Help me."
Mai...
And this... is the best present of all.
Here.
Is this spot okay?
Hey, are you gonna be with me like this forever?
We're the same.
You and me.
That's why I understand your pain.
Hey Mom~! What's for supper tonight?
Just kidding!
In my case, I didn't have a mom.
But you do.
Let's tell your mom everything.
I will help you, too.
I've got your back for sure.
Okay?
Rio-chan, why didn't you watch over her properly?
I'm really sorry!
You may be sorry, but I have apologize to the mom, you know.
Where could she have gone to?
I'm really sorry about this. Sheez...
Seagulls? Excuse me, ma-am...
- Yes... - Where is this place?
Where could it be...?
"Please leave your message after the beep."
Mom, I'm with the bento delivery guy.
"I want to tell you everything, Mom. Please come to Torimi Park."
That little brat.
There's no seagulls, huh?
- Tadah~! - What is that?
~Harbor lights was replaced by the morning sun~
~At that moment, a seagull flew~
Wow!
Hey, do it again--
What's the matter, Mai?
Long time, no see, Hachimaki-san.
You don't remember me? We were in jail together.
You're...
Trying to live an honest life...
...sure is a pain, isn't it?
Mai! Run!
By the way, Mai...
Why aren't you dead?
Dammit...
Thought Ayane had disposed of you.
Stop... Hey!
Hey, just stop it.
That hurts!
- Mai... - I'm going to tell everything...
And then, Mom...
Too bad. You're gonna get killed by this cat burglar.
What?
I felt relieved, y'know.
'Cause you set up such a nice door-to-door bento delivery route.
Could it be... you're...
Hey... It just occurred to me...
That if it were you who got jailed many times, there'd be no problem, right?
- You... - Well, then...
I came to help Mai...
And in self-defense, I killed the culprit.
No!
At this late stage in your life, did you think you can start over?
Guys like us will never change!
Right?!
Let's get this over with quickly, shall we?
Da hell are you?
I don't need to introduce myself to you.
Are you an ally of justice wannabe or something?
For me, there's no such thing...
...as justice.
I do the work for one rice ball.
That... is all.
Are you stupid?
Hey! Don't go there, Mai!
Thank you.
- Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm fine.
Oww!
A scoundrel who hurts a child's spirit!
It was just a joke... A joke.
Hey, now... hang on.
- I said wait! - Shame on you!
Tenchu.
Why are you here?
Masako-san contacted me.
Mai! Mai!
- Mommy! - Mai!
- Mommy... - I'm sorry...
Forgive me...
Mommy...
- Thanks... - Yamaki-san, are you ok?
Yeah, this is nothing.
Oh, is this the police?
You know what? The criminal behind the series of burglary incidents is at Torimi Park.
He's seriously creepy.
Yeah. Who am I? I'm just a high school student.
By the way, I'm a cute high school girl.
Please hurry! I'm a damsel in distress!
This is from inside the motorcycle.
Inside the motorcycle?
Good work.
(Serial burglar culprit)
They're taking us lightly.
Shudo-san, this was from inside the motorbike.
It's no mistake that he's the burglar, isn't it?
Hey.
Hey!
It was a girl...
A hooded girl!
A hooded girl?
Seems to be a vigilante wannabe.
Untie me first, will ya!
(Serial burglar culprit arrested, Suspect Mutsumibashi Ryo confessed to murder)
Serves him right, huh?
- Sana. - Oww... wait wait.
- Be more gentle. - What's with you.
- You're not the type... - Macchan, you take over.
- Scary... - I'll do it...
You gotta be gentle to an injured person.
Right? Excuse me but... this spot...
You're noisy yourself, too.
Oww! More gently... Right, that's it...
Then, here goes. Oh, my~ looks painful huh? Poor you.
Thank you, Onee-san.
Onee-san? I don't remember becoming your elder sister.
Everyone calls me, well, "Macchan."
Macchan.
- Macchan. - What are you saying...
You see, until now, I haven't had a decent life but...
...I wonder if can I change? - Don't be foolish.
You know, the moment human beings wonder if they can change...
...they have already changed.
Right?
Alright! Then, let's drink away, it'll be Sayuda's treat!
What?! There's no way I can treat!
- Then, it'll be Macchan's treat! - Fine, fine...
I was expecting this.
Geez, I only have 10,000.
Thank you so much! We've received 10,000.
- Knock yourself out. - Can I, too?
- Sure. - Mama! I've got a side job tonight...
Then, I'll have... hot milk, straight up!
Is that okay with you?
Oh, welcome--
I've told the police about the abuse.
I'm guilty, too, for pretending not to see it.
In recognition of my wrongdoing, I will strive to make Mai happy.
If you're having a difficult time... please don't hesitate to come here.
Right? We are all here... to help you.
I want to become strong.
I want to be strong like Onee-chan and beat the bad guys.
Mai...
Being strong is not about defeating someone.
True strength is to be able to protect a person.
- Protect? - Yes.
This hand... use it to protect your mother.
Savvy~? Savvy?
Yes, Captain Jack!
That's enough... Cut it out.
All the hurt.... and pain...
Fly away!
All the hurt and pain... fly away!
