01x14 - Aim For The Suite Room

[bunniefuu]

[flames crackling]

-[man] Mutsumi

-Huh?

Forgive me.

[breathes deeply]

[Taiyo] I guess there's no way

to pinpoint Tanpopo's headquarters.

Was there any other data

I haven't checked yet?

Receipts?

He's more meticulous than he looks.

But receipt data Probably not useful.

"Dandy Lion"?

A dandy lion? Hold up.

"Dandelion" is the English word

for "tanpopo," right?

Nah, come on!

He wouldn't use a pun like that!

[gasps]

I guess it's worth looking into, huh?

[opening theme song playing]

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

PLAN 14

AIM FOR THE SUITE ROOM

I had an interaction with a Yozakura.

[Kawashita] No.

Not a sibling. The groom, actually.

I'm sure we'll soon get

another opportunity.

When we do, of course,

I'm going to try it out.

-You know what I mean.

-[knock on door]

[man] I'm coming in.

[Kawashita] All right,

that's it for now. Right.

You got here late, Nohmen!

[groans softly]

Is it morning?

Huh?

Wha Wha Wha Wha

What? What?!

Where am I? What is this place?

[Kyoichiro] Morning!

It's such a glorious day,

I took us out on the Pacific.

[Taiyo] That explains nothing!

Brother to brother, man to man

I thought we could do some bonding.

[Kyoichiro] Hey!

Good for you, Taiyo!

That's a big one!

It won't slip if you use a fish gripper.

That kind of bait makes you uncomfortable?

Well, we've got worms, too.

Here's Nanao's motion sickness remedy.

Better take it now while you can.

Look at that, Taiyo! You got another one!

[Taiyo] What's up with this guy?

He's terrifying!

There's no way

he'd get all chummy with me!

I just know there's a catch!

[Kyoichiro] All right, here's lunch!

[Taiyo] Big Bro Kyoichiro! Thank you

[screams]

By "lunch," did he mean me?

[chuckles lightly]

No way, right?

Did you think that

you were going to be tossed overboard?

Huh?

No, I

No need to be suspicious.

It's just my offering to you

for pouring your soul into training.

Training?

[water splashing]

Huh?

[Taiyo shouts]

[grunts]

Who's this?

Don't let something like that rattle you.

Maritime training to hone stowaway tactics

is one of the foundations of being a spy.

[Kyoichiro] Futaba and I used to do it

a lot as kids.

Huh? So, this guy is

my training partner?

Nope. In the Yozakura family,

actual combat is used for combat training.

For example

YOZAKURA BLOODBATH SPECIAL!!

by sending out flyers

to lure in enemies!

I knew it had to be something like that!

[Kyoichiro] Check it out!

Your friends are converging on us!

Hit them back.

[gasps] What!?

Taiyo, you've earned

a Bronze-ranked spy license, right?

[Kyoichiro] By the time they were

in grade school, our younger siblings

had already reached

the Bronze or Silver rank.

The difficulty level of this drill

is one star, tops.

A Bronze-ranked spy should be able

to clear this mission without a hitch.

If you call yourself a Yozakura,

let's see you get through it.

Well, not that an ordinary person like you

could handle it right off the bat.

[Taiyo] Oh, yes, I can!

It's true

that I'm ordinary

but I've been trained by the Yozakuras!

[loud thud]

Ah, how reassuring.

All right, what would you do

in this situation?

[all men] A-A torpedo?

[glass shattering]

[gasps, coughs]

-Are you all right?

-[man coughs]

M-My bad!

[Kyoichiro laughing]

If you can rescue the enemy

you must be cruisin'.

[Taiyo] Right back at you.

But a torpedo Who on earth

[gasps]

[Kyoichiro] Apparently, these waters

are part of Tanpopo's smuggling route.

They've set up an unmanned fighter here

that fires on anyone who gets too close.

Or so I've been told.

Although it was just a rumor.

[Taiyo] A rumor?

But now, this proves

that rumor to be a fact.

Th-Then

[Kyoichiro] Using bait to lure in

the enemy. Espionage 101.

Listen up. Do you know

what it means to take on Tanpopo?

Let me make it clear.

[Kyoichiro] You'd be taking on

a globe-spanning criminal route

and a government-level military network.

The difficulty of this mission

would easily clear the five stars

assigned to Gold-ranked spies.

It's not one that you'd have

any chance of clearing as a Bronze rank.

If you want to back down, now's the time.

[Taiyo] It's not a matter

of whether or not I have a chance.

As long as they're targeting Mutsumi

backing down is not an option!

[Kyoichiro] Well, yes.

For once, we're on the same page.

[screaming] H-H-Huuuuuh?

[Taiyo] It's going to shred me to bits!

[Kyoichiro] The second one

must've gone off.

It's going to strike here

within about 30 seconds.

It won't put a scratch on me

but the others are sure

to be blown to smithereens.

[all] Huh?

[Kyoichiro] I'm sure you've forgotten

but in the past, the only way you could

protect others was to sacrifice yourself.

But

you're a licensed, professional spy now.

What is it that you can do?

[Shinzo] A torpedo's warhead

is at the front,

while the guidance system is at the rear.

HUNDRED-VIRTUE KNIFE

MADE BY SHINZO - 100 USES

Find the hollow, and use Blade #42

to open up the outer shell.

[Shion] To disarm a m*ssile,

first cut the communication circuit

between the warhead and propulsion system.

STOPPING

[man] Here it comes!

[all clamoring]

[Kengo] The waterproof film has no

durability, so if you twist it, it'll rip.

[Nanao] If you block the signal with this

alloy, you can override the motive power.

[Taiyo] Stop!

[all] You stopped it!

You're awesome, man!

-Sorry we tried to k*ll you!

-[chuckles]

-[system beeping]

-[man] ETA for impact has passed!

Unable to confirm detonation!

No waveform data received.

Preparing to relaunch!

[alert blaring]

Warning! Unidentified object closing in!

Send a stop signal at once!

[Kyoichiro] It's too late.

Let them know in the transmission logs.

That a weapon of this quality

has zero effect on the Yozakuras.

[all screaming]

[exhales wearily]

[Kyoichiro] Overpowering a platoon

and disabling a m*ssile.

That was your catch today.

I'm feeling generous,

so I'll call that about two stars.

[Taiyo chuckles]

Just as you guessed,

that hotel has links to Tanpopo.

RECEIP

A hot tip from Hotokeyama.

A suite room at Hotel Dandy Lion.

[Kyoichiro] That's where you'll find

Makoto Kawashita.

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

Big Bro Shinzo?

Yes. I'm sending him your way.

[Kyoichiro] Since he happens to be

free right now.

The fact that Tanpopo's set up so openly

in a place like Hotel Dandy Lion

shows how confident they are

that they can launch a counterattack.

If you stumbled in on them unprepared,

they'd tear you limb from limb

no, they'd tear you into a hundred pieces!

[cackles]

[Taiyo] He's enjoying this way too much!

Mmm. [chuckles]

Hmm?

[Futaba] What do you think you're doing?

What are you talking about?

[Futaba] Dragging that kid into this.

[chuckles dryly] For you, this is pretty

This is about the fact that there's

a connection to his family's accident.

Nothing more, nothing less.

I'm not so sure.

[elevator dings]

[Taiyo] All right Here I go!

Huh?

[bellboy gasps]

Hey, you, are you new here?

You should know you're not supposed

to get on the elevator to the suite floor.

[bellboy] Only a select group of guests

and designated hotel staff

can get past

the facial recognition system.

It's a world that ordinary folks

like us will never know.

[Taiyo] What kind of messed-up

social divide is that?

Okay, then, if I can't get there

from the inside

I'll go from the outside!

GECKO GLOVES

MICRO HAIRS THAT STICK TO ANY OBJEC

All right, I'm past the 40th floor!

Just a little farther

Huh?

You've been at it again with your

heart attack-inducing shopping sprees?

You spendthrift!

Why would I tolerate being with you

unless I got to spend that kind of money?

-[Taiyo] Huh?

-[glass breaking]

No Wait!

[grunts]

You horrible cheapskate geezer!

[grunts]

Hey [screaming]

You've got to be kidding me!

Wow, what a dive!

You've got nerves of steel!

[Taiyo] I thought my number was up!

I thought my number was up!

[woman] Oh, dear! Little Tama fell asleep!

Huh?

I'll be going back up to my room now,

so when Tama wakes up, please bring her

to the suite room on the 47th floor.

Understood, ma'am!

[Taiyo gasps]

[Nohmen] A suspicious-looking employee?

Right.

He could be a spy from the police,

so detain him as soon as he's found.

[line disconnects]

It seems like a strange insect

has wandered in.

You haven't done

anything weird again, have you?

NOHMEN - OWNER OF DANDY LION

HOBBIES: COOKING, YOGA

[Kawashita] Who knows?

There! It's done!

Nohmen, you can have it!

[Nohmen] Don't want it. It's beyond lame.

You sure love sewing.

It's great practice for surgery.

Oh, right.

I brought the latest batch today.

What? That again?

[Kawashita] Don't give me that look.

It's a new and improved version

with less side effects.

You said that about the last one,

and it was awful.

I'm not using that again.

Hey, come on. Just take it

whenever you feel like it, okay?

[Taiyo] Freeze!

[both] Huh?

[Taiyo] I won't let you

get away again, Kawashita!

Now sit tight and surrender!

What is that odd beast?

That voice

[chuckles lightly]

Didn't I tell you to cherish your life,

Taiyo Asano?

You're trying so hard,

and I wish I could take you on.

But I'm a busy man, so

Another time, all right?

[Taiyo grunts]

[Nohmen] You're the guy who married

into the Yozakura family, right?

What a cutie you are.

[grunts]

What's this, Nohmen? Looking for a snack?

[Nohmen] No sexual harassment, please.

Also, I'm not into younger guys.

But he does seem reasonably skilled.

I don't want to work up a sweat

for nothing, so I'll make this quick.

Thank you!

And let me know how you liked it later!

[Kawashita] See you!

Come back here!

[groans]

[Nohmen] He really is a creepy guy.

But the thing is,

creepy or not, I owe him my life.

I won't let you get in his way.

Not like you could stop him anyway.

Neither him nor Tanpopo.

I'll clue you in

on their bottomless malice.

You know that Yozakura blood

has a special power, right?

Tanpopo has been relentlessly researching

ways to acquire that power.

And what they came up with was this

Hazakura.

It's a doping agent

that replicates the Yozakura blood.

[Taiyo gasps]

[Nohmen] Hazakura contains a substance

that mimics someinine,

the Yozakuras' power source.

Compatibility rates

depend on the person, so

For an average person like myself

this is as good as it gets.

[Taiyo] What's up with him?

[Taiyo grunts]

[Nohmen] I feel bad for you

because you're so young

but sorry.

[Kawashita] The Yozakura groom

came by again.

Nohmen is battling him right now.

As scheduled,

I'll be moving onto the next step

so please keep up

the good work on your end.

[Taiyo coughing]

[Nohmen] To even be conscious

is impressive.

As is your grit in landing a blow.

Muscular strength,

healing power, durability

Hazakura can reproduce

multiple Yozakura powers at once.

Although it's way inferior

to the real thing.

Tormenting children isn't my style.

I'll put you out of your misery

right away.

[grunts]

[rumbling]

[Nohmen] Hmm?

[Shinzo] Sorry I'm late, Taiyo.
