01x07 - Government Spies

[bunniefuu]

[unsettling music playing]

-[chain jangling]

-[man 1] Huh?

A SPRING BREEZE BLOWS

THROUGH THE YOZAKURAS

Sui! You know that Asano kid

who married into the Yozakura family?

Seems like he's pretty awesome!

[man 2] Not interested, Oga.

For us,

everything other than our mission

is of no use.

[opening theme playing]

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

[phone vibrates, beeps]

PLAN 7

GOVERNMENT SPIES

[Nanao] Hello? Big Bro Taiyo? [chuckles]

[Taiyo] Hey, Nanao.

What's up?

[Nanao] I'm out right now.

Would you mind coming to pick me up?

[Taiyo] Huh? Sure.

No problem.

[snoring]

[Taiyo straining]

So where should I go?

[Nanao] Well

The Evil Laboratory?

[Taiyo] Excuse me?

[Nanao] There's a lab where they secretly

manufacture bioweapons like toxic gas.

And I came here undercover on a mission

to neutralize this new weapon.

So this is that new weapon,

the germ b*mb, Sodom!

If it explodes, it can wipe out all

life forms within a 10-kilometer radius.

I'd like to recover it,

but bringing something of this level

outside would be dangerous

so I'm just going to eat it. [gulps]

[Taiyo] What?!

What are you doing, Nanao?

[Nanao] Internal organs,

digestive fluids, antibodies

The human body has a wide array

of detoxification functions.

And my body's are far more effective

than any ordinary person's.

Although that's an industry secret.

[Taiyo] Right

So there's an industry for that.

[Nanao] It'll take me about three hours

to neutralize this amount.

But there's just one problem.

Wh-What is it?

[Nanao] I get really, really sleepy.

[Taiyo] Nanao!

[Nanao] Like after I've had a big meal.

[Taiyo] Hey, hold up!

Aren't you still undercover?

[Nanao] I put everyone

in this lab to sleep.

I want you to come get me

before anyone from the other labs notices.

[Taiyo] Gotcha! I'm on my way!

Where are you?

[Nanao] About five minutes

from Nansei station in Mayoda-ku.

Huh?

[Taiyo screaming] Nanao!

[Taiyo] I was able to get in easily,

but something's off.

Yeah, this is weird.

The security guards are already injured.

And security's been breached.

Did Nanao do this?

No, that's not the vibe I'm getting.

[grunts]

[Oga] That was too close for comfort, kid!

[Sui] Who would have thought?

Are you on a mission, too, Taiyo Asano?

[Taiyo] How does he know my name?

What? Taiyo Asano?

Where is he?

Try looking right in front of you,

Mr. Nearsighted.

That's really cold, Sui!

How can you say that when your partner

just lost his glasses in battle?

Feel your forehead, doofus.

[Oga] Hmm?

Found them!

That moron is my colleague, Oga Inugami.

I'm Sui Aoi.

[Taiyo] A business card?

Hey! You're right!

It's Taiyo Asano!

We're with Hinagiku,

a government-operated intelligence unit.

We're government spies.

We were sent to neutralize this lab.

[Taiyo] Hinagiku.

I've heard that name before.

Unlike freelance spies like us,

they're elite spies

who operate under government orders.

Oga, what's the status in there?

[clears throat, sniffs]

To the south-southeast,

at a height of minus-47 degrees,

I can hear the footsteps of five people.

I'm catching the scent of

parabellum cartridges. They're armed.

So their base is underground, after all.

Let's do our best

to fulfill our respective missions.

-[Sui] Now, excuse us.

-Yeah.

No way am I passing up this chance!

We're going together!

The more allies the better, right?

Huh?

[Sui] Not interested.

You do what you want.

[Oga] All right!

I want your autograph when we're done!

Rookie sensation!

[Taiyo] I've been captured by a weirdo!

But they did just save me.

At the very least, they're not the enemy.

[screaming]

Whoa! Hey, Sui,

he's just as awesome as advertised, huh?

[Taiyo] First things first.

I've got to rescue Nanao.

[beeping]

[lock clicks]

This is the last of the labs.

-[liquid bubbling]

-[gasps]

Nanao!

[straining]

[Nanao breathing heavily]

[clangs]

[sword hilt thuds]

What are you doing?

No, what are you doing, Taiyo?

It's dangerous, so get out of the way!

Our mission is to k*ll that guy!

Huh?

Didn't we tell you? That our mission

is to neutralize this lab?

But why would you k*ll Nanao?

We didn't mention this before,

but while we were monitoring this lab,

we also listened in on your conversation.

Since he'd already infiltrated this place,

and you had both his location

and infiltration data,

you made this mission a breeze for us.

[Sui] We thank you for that.

That said, since he's ingested the weapon,

he himself has become the threat.

Eliminating him along with it

would be best for national security.

In other words, once we've k*lled him,

our mission will be complete.

Now, then, step aside right

-[Taiyo] You're out of your mind.

-Hmm?

If you want to k*ll my kid brother,

you'll have to k*ll me first!

Knock it off, Taiyo!

This is a waste of time.

A spy has no need for emotional appeals.

[groans]

So trusting, you let your guard down

to someone you'd just met.

So lax, you waited to see what we would do

instead of sh**ting first.

Is this the best

that the Yozakuras can do?

[groaning]

Sui! Why do you do this every time?

Oga.

Don't worry. I won't make him suffer.

[Taiyo] W-Wait.

D-Don't do it.

You think you can stop me just by asking?

That's not just pointless,

it's pathetic as well.

[Nanao] Please wait.

[panting]

I've just finished detoxifying Sodom now.

This patch test is proof that my sweat

doesn't contain any bacterial poison.

If you still intend to k*ll me

then at least let me

tend to my brother's wounds first.

If you were able to detoxify it,

we're good.

Our mission is complete.

[Sui] I'll take this patch test

-with me as documentation.

-[sighs]

[Sui] This ointment heals slash wounds.

You can still save him if you act now.

[Nanao] Th-Thank you very much.

[Sui] Although

if that was the extent of his skills,

wouldn't it serve the Yozakuras better

if he died?

[Nanao gasps]

Let's go, Oga.

[Oga] Yeah.

[Nanao pants]

Big Bro Taiyo!

Big Bro Taiyo, stay with me!

Big Bro Taiyo! Come on, Big Bro Taiyo!

[huffing]

[groaning]

Do you know why you ended up like this?

[muffled groan]

"I HAVE NO CLUE!!"

I'm not surprised.

The answer is on the front page

of the spy gossip mag, Spy Day.

"SPY DAY!?"

[Kyoichiro] There's an article

about how you were defeated

by Hinagiku, the government spies,

the other day.

It goes so far as to call it the downfall

of a celebrated family of private spies.

"The perverted firstborn son's

reign of terror is in its last gasps."

[chuckles] This reporter's

not long for this world, eh?

There's also been a spike in review bombs,

so we're kind of

blowing up online right now.

[Taiyo] Aren't you the cause of,

like, half of this flaming?

But none of that matters.

The most important thing of all

is that one false move from you,

and Nanao would've been k*lled.

Because of your weakness, that is.

[sighs]

Damn Hinagiku.

If you had to k*ll someone,

you should've gone for

[Nanao] Apologize to Big Bro Taiyo!

How could you strike your own big brother?

[Mutsumi] Apologize!

Sorry.

[gasps, coughs]

It's okay Both of you.

[Taiyo] The Yozakura name was tarnished

and Nanao was exposed to danger

because of me.

[Nanao] That's not true!

It was thanks to you that I survived!

No. I couldn't do anything.

Because I'm weak

Taiyo

Don't flatter yourself.

-[Taiyo groans]

-[Mutsumi gasps]

The Yozakura family

can't be shaken by your screwup.

[Mutsumi and Nanao] Is he

encouraging him or insulting him?

-[Kyoichiro] However

-[Taiyo grunting]

if you intend to take responsibility,

there's just one thing for you to do.

Defeat Hinagiku and restore our good name.

[man] Shut the hell up!

Out of my way! Get lost!

[Sui] Your legs are what's in the way.

Move.

I can't help it if I've got long legs!

I'll k*ll you!

Oh, so they're that long?

Your clothes are covering them,

so I can't really tell.

What the hell? You wanna fight?

Scattered Petals.

[screams]

[man] Damn it! What the hell's going on?

So? What do you want

Taiyo Asano?

[Sui] You're far too wary.

You've still got a long way to go.

Are you here to avenge yourself

for the other day?

No

I

Restore our good name?

That's right. Hinagiku is a unit of

elite government spies with unique skills.

A w*r between spies is a w*r of intel.

If you want to defeat Hinagiku,

steal their intel.

In other words

[Kyoichiro] spy on the spy.

Just as you say, I'm inexperienced.

That's precisely why

for my family's sake

I'm going to learn

the things I need to improve from you.

A spy who announces

that he's tailing someone

that's new to me.

Well, do whatever you want.

[Sui] Not that

I think you stand a chance

of keeping up with me.

[Taiyo] He's so fast!

[Kyoichiro] The Hinagiku moving technique,

Walking on Flowers.

It's their secret method

of walking silently at high speeds.

It can be used for infiltration,

tailing, and, needless to say

in battle.

As one of the Hinagiku squad leaders,

Sui Aoi is particularly skilled at it.

You would have a hard time

even noticing him.

Even so

DEPARTURE INFORMATION

sink your teeth into him

with sheer willpower!

[sighs]

[Sui] Farewell, pervert boy.

[gasps]

Hey, you, why don't we

have a little chat in our office?

Huh? Huh?

Huh?

TAILING SUI, DAY 1

"MORNING TRANSPORT MISSION"

[Taiyo straining]

Huh?

Taiyo Asano?

What's he doing here?

[screaming] No!

Oh, my.

TAILING SUI, DAY 3

"LUNCH"

Seriously?

[Taiyo] He's leaning on the sword

that he stuck in there.

[screaming]

TAILING SUI, DAY 7

"EVENING EXTERMINATION MISSION"

[screaming]

Hey, look at him!

He's able to follow us until evening now!

[Oga] That's the spirit!

Keep at it, Taiyo!

All right! Now land a low kick.

Not again.

[grunts]

[cackles]

Don't leave the naughty bits covered!

[Sui sighs]

[Oga] Whoa!

Me, too?!

[Nanao] I'm home!

Huh?

Where's Big Bro Taiyo?

Oh, he must have had the tables

turned on him by Hinagiku yet again.

He was passed out

by the front door in tatters.

So then you carried him to his room,

Big Bro Kyoichiro?

No.

[Nanao shouts]

I thought he'd make

the perfect cutting board

[Nanao] Why would you make him

even more tattered?

Are you okay, Big Bro Taiyo?

[sighs]

Oh Hey, Nanao.

[chuckles weakly] They got me again.

[Nanao] Why are you pushing yourself

so hard? You're in such bad shape.

Well, why wouldn't I?

I didn't stand a chance

against those powerful guys,

and to make matters worse,

I couldn't protect my little brother.

I bet you don't want

such a weak, lame big bro, do you?

[Nanao] You don't get it at all,

Big Bro Taiyo.

Always, at any given time

you always manage to do

what no one could even predict.

There's no way that a big bro like that

could ever be lame.

No matter what anyone else says,

you're cool, Big Bro Taiyo!

Nanao

Don't be deceived, Nanao.

He just enjoys the habit

of getting slashed and stripped naked.

He's hooked on the thrill of it!

[Kyoichiro screaming]

[Nanao] Don't you dare make Big Bro Taiyo

sound like a pervert!

Jeez!

Huh?

-Habit?

-[suspenseful music plays]

TAILING SUI, DAY 10

"NIGHTTIME"

[Sui sighs]

Well, well

This is my last daily task.

You're the first eccentric who's ever

managed to trail me for a full day.

[Taiyo] A rock?

Is it a gravestone, maybe?

But whose?

[Sui] Out of respect

for your persistence

I'm going to deliver

the coup de grâce in good faith.

No matter how much work you put into it,

you can never defeat me.

Before you waste

any more of that effort

I'm going to put an end to this.

[dramatic music playing]

He got me.

[Taiyo] My body remembers

because of all the times I was struck.

The slashing attack

covers the whole body. But

the first blow always lands in the center!

I can't see it, and I can't react, either.

But even if I can't beat him

I can still sink my teeth into him!

[grunts]

[Sui] I see.

[panting]

[Sui] So that's why

the Yozakuras accepted him.

Oga, look after him.

What took you so long?

Don't give me a heart attack!

Man, I was so worried.

[gentle music playing]

GAUZE

[sighs]

[Oga] Damn, I can't believe

you dodged Sui's sword.

That's impressive!

It's not that he dodged it.

It's just that he realized

what my habits are.

But since he did figure them out,

it's not as if he has no potential.

In that regard,

I'm altering my perception of him.

Sui

[Taiyo] In the end

the article on how I was outclassed

and defeated by Sui was soon forgotten.

But

THE PERVERT SPY RANKING

HAS A NEW STAR

THE MYSTERY OF THE SERIAL FLASHER

BORN OF THE YOZAKURAS

SPY DAY

Don't worry.

I love you no matter what, Taiyo.

[Nanao] A-After all, people have

all kinds of habits, right?

[Taiyo screaming]

This is a misunderstanding!
