01x05 - So far, so good

Post by bunniefuu »

It has been one month since the Metro derailing incident.

Oh, they're covering it.

The station where the incident happened still has not been restored,

causing one complaint after another from patrons.

I feel sorry for this president.

It really was a miracle that it was a self-driven, out-of-service train,

so we did not have any injuries nor casualties.

We are working swiftly to determine the reason so we can make improvements.

And going forward, we will continue to put safety first in our endeavors.

This president probably doesn't know anything at all.

Okay everyone.

I'll explain the client's request for this job!

This will be a very fun job!

Mizuki, you're not going to do the explaining? I already read all of it.

First off...

H-Hey! You there! No chitchatting!

She's surprisingly enthusiastic about this one.

And the little squirrel over there! Are you playing games?

I'm listening!

The client is a -year-old man. Japanese.

His wife and child were m*rder*d by someone in the past.

His life was also in danger, so he had taken shelter in the United States for a long time.

Currently suffers from Am-Amyo...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

That means he can't move on his own?

Right! He was diagnosed with a terminal illness last year.

So he wants one last tour of his homeland Japan, especially around Tokyo.

Sightseeing?

Doesn't this bring tears to your eyes? In other words...

There’s still a possibility that someone is after his life, so we will be bodyguards!

Why is he being targeted?

We have no idea.

He's an executive at a giant corporation, so he has too many enemies.

But we're also getting quite a hefty reward.

I can't think he'll be targeted immediately after arriving in Japan, though.

He's going to leave where to go up to us. I'll come up with a perfect plan.

Should we make an itinerary or something?

That's it!

We've been waiting for you!

Welcome, from so far away.

Was I a bit early? I was looking forward to this.

Oh no, we're fully prepared. We even have a perfect itinerary!

LYCO RECO PRODUCTIONS TOKYO SUPER TOUR FOR MR. MATSUSHITA

Chisato, let's give it to him as a data file.

That’ll help me out.

I'll be under the care of these folks, so you can all stand down now.

Nowadays, machines are keeping me alive. You probably find it strange, don't you?

I don't think so. I can say the same for myself. Right here.

A pacemaker?

No, the entire thing is a machine.

An artificial heart?

You literally have nerves of steel.

It's my heart, not my nerves.

Huh? What do you mean—

Okay, it's done!

LYCO RECO PRODUCTIONS TOKYO SUPER TOUR FOR MR. MATSUSHITA

Oh, this is splendid!

LYCO RECO CAFE

Okay, let's get going on our Tokyo sightseeing tour!

Um, that talk about Chisato just now...

Let's go, Takina!

Oh, okay!

Mizuki! The car!

You didn't tell her?

I wanted to leave it up to Chisato.

Explain it to me, though.

This was unexpected.

The area around Sumida Ward is surrounded by many rivers.

So you can move around various places downtown by water bus

without worrying about traffic.

So it really is broken.

Have you seen it before it was broken?

No, this is my first time in Tokyo.

I had made a promise with my daughter.

"Let's look up the tower together until both of our necks hurt."

I have tales of my travel to tell her in the afterlife.

Come on now, we're just getting started!

Its official name is "Furaijinmon Gate." It was established in the year A.D.

Just like the official name claims, Raijin is on the left and Fujin is on the right side.

They’re gods who protect Sensoji Temple from calamities and conflicts.

Oh, they're guardsmen!

Just like me and Takina.

We're exclusively guarding you, Mr. Matsushita.

Such cute gods.

We're not moving at all.

Because it's the "shops between Kaminarimon Street and the front of Kannondo in Sensoji,"

it's called Nakamise Shopping Street.

Sensoji Temple was built , years ago when they enshrined a Buddha statue

that got caught in a fisherman's net over in Sumida River that we were just at.

That’s the principal idol of worship, the sacred bodhisattva Kannon.

They say it's a Buddha that gives salvation to every living thing on Earth.

All living things? That's something I can't imitate.

Let's go to the Five-story Pagoda next.

A train collision can cause the ceiling to cave in?

Yes! All right! Here it is!

Huh? A b*llet? Right here?

I thought I'd show you this.

Then these are all...

All the other b*ll*ts have already been collected.

This is terrorism!

This isn't an accident. We have to tell the chief!

No. They’re treating this as a mere accident.

Ever since the terrorism at the old Radio Tower, many incidents have been turned into accidents.

We don't know who’s solving the issues, or if they're simply being covered up.

The chief is hiding something?

No, I think he's just being ordered to do so.

Is it all right to keep silent?

They can cover anything up!

It's too dangerous to try standing up against them, you dummy!

Who are you guys?

Run! Run for it!

- Why are detectives running away!? - Hey, wait!

Maybe I’m getting too old for unlawful entries.

I'm not convinced about all this.

Mr. Abe!

Oh, it's you, Chisato.

Thank you for working so hard!

I'm surprised you noticed me!

I have really good eyes!

You're here too, Takina?

Are you two here for the festival?

We're guiding a patron on a sightseeing tour!

I see.

That's so great of you!

Okay then, we’ll be seeing you!

A good girl, isn't she?

If kids like that can live at ease, it doesn't matter who’s covering what up.

I did it!

I didn't know there was an artificial heart that had no issues with so much movement.

I'd like to peek into the DA's Technology Development Division server.

Peeking in would be useless.

It's not DA technology.

So it's from them?

The much-rumored Alan Institute.

Secrets can't be kept from you, huh?

Thus, in exchange for her life, she was given a mission to fulfill for the world.

What is Chisato's mission?

That's for Chisato to decide.

So that’s the Enkuboku?

They say it will be done by November.

I know someone who was involved in its architecture.

What? That's amazing!

That's right. He’s leaving behind something splendid for the future.

Then you should come visit it once it's done.

I’ll be your guide again.

Yes, I will ask you again. You are an amazing guide.

It sure is hot today. I would like to rest inside for a bit.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Looks like he's happy with this tour.

He said I was an amazing guide. I might have a talent for this.

Guarding the client comes first, though.

That’s right, I know.

What, what?

Was what you mentioned this morning true?

Oh, about my heart?

It's true. I was surprised because it doesn’t b*at at all.

But it's pretty cool, you know?

W-Wait!

I just wanted to confirm.

That's fine, but don't touch my boobs in public!

There’s a guy who's been following you. That's Jin, an assassin.

He's nicknamed "Silent Jin" from how quietly he works.

A veteran assassin, so to say.

- Silent? - You know him?

Until years ago, we both handled some underground jobs at a security firm.

This was before I was scouted to become a training instructor for Lycoris.

What kinda guy is he?

He's the real thing. Silent.

Come to think, I've never heard his voice.

Confirming that he’s meters up ahead.

My face hasn't been revealed yet. I'm going to go attach a transmitter.

I can't confirm from up above. What about your end, Mizuki?

He stopped next to a pillar.

Damn it! He's caught on!

Jin is bad news.

Change of plans. We should evacuate them and send someone from our end.

As soon as we locate Jin with the spare drone and Mizuki, we'll go on the offensive.

I'll send a car over when you guys leave the museum.

Got it.

Mizuki, hurry up. I can't do anything if I don't have a drone.

You should come down here and support us, too!

What's wrong?

It's Jin!

Hey! Stop!

Someone! There's a pervert here!

Mizuki, do you copy?

Where's the spare drone?

It's not powered on.

Change channels. Contact those two.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF TOKYO EXHIBITION

We've lost contact with Mizuki. Jin is going to make his move.

Leave this to me.

Wait! Takina!

Is something the matter?

Oh, she's just heading to the bathroom.

I'm going to run the interior surveillance camera footage through facial recognition.

As for outdoors, I sent a spare drone over, so I can begin analysis in minutes.

What about Mizuki?

We lost contact with her around meters out, and haven't heard from her since.

The museum entrance faces the department store corridor,

so I'll use the building cameras to confirm.

Takina, head over towards the exit and be on the lookout.

Hold on a second.

Mizuki had put a transmitter on Jin!

She left information for us, even if it costed her life!

We haven't confirmed that she's dead yet.

He's already over at the museum.

Is he outside? Or inside?

Behind you, Takina.

His coat is bulletproof!

Keep going and pull him away from Chisato.

He went out the door and ran to the right!

Got it!

Huh? What's going on?

Whoa! What happened to you, Miss?

Untie me! Oh, and a phone!

Hello, Café LycoReco—

He got me.

Oh man. You're still alive, Mizuki.

What do you mean, "Oh man"?

Mizuki, Takina is going after Jin.

Head over to pick up Mr. Matsushita at the Tokyo station platform!

Yeah, got it!

Chisato.

Mr. Matsushita, hold on just a second.

Of course.

Yes?

Mizuki is safe and sound.

Oh, that's a relief.

She's headed your way. Come back with Mr. Matsushita right away.

Okay. I'm glad she’s all right. I'll wait for Mizuki and go home by train.

Mr. Matsushita!

Mr. Matsushita?

He's behind the outdoor AC units meters ahead of you.

Kurumi!

Mr. Matsushita.

Mr. Matsushita.

Where did you go?

Mr. Matsushita.

What's the matter? Did you have somewhere you wanted to go?

Jin is here, isn't he?

He k*lled my family. I'm sure he’ll be coming to k*ll me as well.

Chisato!

He shook Takina off his tracks. Be careful.

As long as I am in Japan, he is sure to come and k*ll me.

Then let's go back to the café.

After we’re safe, we can think about what to do, okay?

I have no time left.

Chisato! Run!

Takina!

Run! Call the police!

Chisato! Please evacuate Mr. Matsushita!

Got it!

While Takina has his attention, let's hurry up and get away from here.

My true request is to have Jin k*lled.

I know the meaning behind your pendant. You have a mission to accomplish, don’t you?

Sorry... to make you... wait!

Mizuki, take care of Mr. Matsushita.

Roger.

I have to see this with my own eyes.

Um, hold on just a minute.

I'm finally here!

Chisato, hurry!

I told you to leave this to me.

k*ll him!

He is the man who took the lives of my family. Please k*ll him.

But...

By all rights, I should have k*lled him with my own hands back then.

Twenty years ago, when he k*lled my family.

He would've been with me back then.

I want him dead by your hands!

You’re one of the Alan Children, right?

What reason were you given that life for? Think hard about the meaning behind it!

Mr. Matsushita.

I don't want to take someone else's life.

I am a Lycoris.

But I want to do work that helps people.

Just like the person who gave this to me.

What are you talking about, Chisato?

If so, the Alan Institute in helping you... Your life is...

Oh, no.

Let's book it before it turns into a complicated situation! Come on!

Um, can we change locations? And then when things calm...

What? Mr. Matsushita?

Mr. Matsushita? Huh?

Mr. Matsushita!

Mika. So they're your subordinates.

Very skilled.

Who is your client?

A woman came to meet me directly, three weeks ago.

She paid up front with cash.

My policy is to not inquire anything concerning my client's privacy.

Did you k*ll Matsushita's family years ago?

I was with you back then, no?

Mika, what happened to your leg?

I got contacted by the Cleaner.

They ID'd the guy through fingerprints.

He was a drug-addicted, end-of-life patient

who disappeared from a hospital ward two weeks ago.

They said he couldn't move or talk on his own anymore.

That's impossible! He was talking to everyone, right?

A third party was talking to you guys through the internet.

The goggles were the camera,

the wheelchair was remotely controlled, and the voice came through speakers.

So Mr. Matsushita doesn't exist?

Huh? Then, who was it?

Why did he make me try to k*ll someone? For what purpose?

The plans to use that man...

Proceed with it.

Understood.

We hid four cargo containers.

You'll get further instructions. If all goes well, you'll get half.

That makes one Lycoris.

All those conversations and how he said I was an amazing guide. They were all lies, huh?

You being an amazing guide... I don’t think that was a lie.

Thank you.

H-Hey!

There's nobody else here.

There really is no heartbeat.

Yeah. Cool, right?
