00:00My name is Leo Takahashi. The amount of years I never had a girlfriend equals my doll age of 24.
00:09Even though I look like this, I worked in America and came back to Japan last year.
00:15I am currently working from home for a living.
00:18Ah, it's already morning.
00:21Oh, good morning, Anna.
00:23Uh, wh-what do you want?
00:27Let me explain. This scary girl, I mean cute girl who is staring at me right now, is Anna.
00:34She is my stepsister from her parents' remarriage.
00:39But our parents who remarried have been friends for a long time.
00:44Anna and I used to play together when we were young.
00:47To put it bluntly, she's like a childhood friend.
00:50I'm going to marry you in the future, Leo brother.
00:53Sure, I'll make you my wife.
00:56Yay! You promise?
00:58After that, I lived in America for nearly 10 years, so I hadn't seen her for a long time.
01:05But when I returned to Japan last year and met her again, I was surprised.
01:10It's because she grew up to be a splendid high school student and became cute.
01:15At first, I got carried away thinking it's great to have such a cute little sister at first.
01:22I can't stand you!
01:24What?
01:25You're going to sleep now, right? You're such a misfit.
01:28Y-yeah, I have to work all night.
01:31What? What are you talking about? You're unemployed!
01:35I'm telling you, I'm not unemployed.
01:38Then, what kind of work do you do?
01:41Um, that's, uh...
01:43See? You can't even explain it.
01:47Unemployed people are so unattractive.
01:49And on top of that, your hair and clothes are so lame.
01:53Just being in the same space with you disgusts me.
01:57That's a bit harsh.
01:59Hmph!
02:00Oh, are you going to school? Be careful!
02:04Sheesh, she doesn't have cuteness at all.
02:07She was so cute when she was younger.
02:10Maybe it's because I'm working in my room.
02:13Anna seems to think I'm unemployed.
02:15She often abuses me for that.
02:17And then, one day...
02:19Anna, are you not going to eat?
02:22No.
02:23Are you not feeling well?
02:25It's not that.
02:27Then, I think you should eat.
02:32Usually, she would say something like,
02:35Mind your own business! Shut up!
02:37Or something like that.
02:41What's wrong?
02:43N-nothing!
02:45I'm sorry, mom. I'm not hungry today.
02:48Thanks for dinner.
02:50I wonder what's wrong.
02:52Hmm. Maybe she has something on her mind.
02:56The next day.
02:57I should go out for a walk.
03:00Whoa! Y-you surprised me!
03:07Hm? Is she shaking?
03:10What's wrong? What happened?
03:12N-nothing!
03:14Come on. It's not nothing.
03:17It's nothing!
03:19What's wrong with her?
03:21A few hours later.
03:23Our parents aren't home today.
03:25So, I made dinner.
03:27Okay.
03:28How is it? It's pretty good, right?
03:31It's okay. Thanks.
03:34Hey! You didn't eat at all!
03:36Are you okay?
03:38Something wasn't right.
03:40I couldn't leave her alone any longer.
03:43Anna, are you okay?
03:45Maybe you don't like me,
03:47but if something's on your mind,
03:49you can talk to me.
03:50I told you it's nothing!
03:52Huh? Don't!
03:55What's wrong with her?
03:58Anna, I found your house.
04:01Can I come over?
04:04What is this?
04:06After looking through her inbox,
04:08there were tons of vicious messages
04:10from an anonymous person.
04:12Anna, can you tell me what happened?
04:17Apparently, Anna has been followed
04:20by a suspicious man for the past few weeks.
04:23Photos of her were sent to her,
04:25and she doesn't know where they were taken.
04:27She seems to have been afraid all along.
04:32And then, yesterday...
04:34There's definitely someone following me.
04:37Did you finally notice me?
04:40I'm so happy you have me on your mind.
04:45Stop!
04:47Wait!
04:49That's why she came back home in a hurry.
04:52Yeah, really.
04:55Who is that?
04:57It's so creepy.
04:59I'm scared.
05:02Anna never says anything weak,
05:04but now...
05:06I'm not going to let him get away.
05:08What?
05:09To my cute little sister.
05:11I will never forgive that bastard.
05:13I will make him regret he put his hands on Anna
05:15for the rest of his life.
05:17Leo brother...
05:19Anna, can I borrow your phone?
05:21Yeah, sure.
05:24I went back to my room, and then...
05:27Anna, don't worry.
05:29I'm not letting him get away with this.
05:31I'm going to destroy him.
05:33Leo brother, what are you doing?
05:36Too easy.
05:38He left his tracks all over the place.
05:40All right.
05:42Kikyo Kimotani.
05:4433 years old.
05:46No work history.
05:47He lives with his parents.
05:49His hobbies are surfing the internet,
05:51collecting action figures, and watching anime.
05:54Yeah, he's a complete homebody nerd.
05:57What?
05:59Who is that?
06:01It's all the personal information
06:02of the guy who was following you.
06:04What?
06:06He has a criminal record
06:08for fraudulent acquisition.
06:10How do you know?
06:13In this day and age,
06:15all information is connected to the internet.
06:17Even if it's trivial information,
06:19you can find out any personal information
06:21if you want to.
06:23I see.
06:25No, I meant, how can you do such a thing?
06:28Didn't you just say his real name and his family?
06:31How did you do it?
06:33Um, in one word,
06:35it's called hacking.
06:37Huh?
06:38I'll explain the details later.
06:40Anyways.
06:42And I spread his personal information
06:44and face photo
06:46on a certain bulletin board.
06:48I will give a bounty of 10 million
06:50to anyone who catches this man
06:52and brings him to me.
06:54Click here for contact information.
06:5610 million?
06:58I'm going to catch him.
06:59I'll crush you if this is a lie.
07:01This is a bulletin board
07:03for local gangsters,
07:05motorcycle gangs, so-called Yankees.
07:07From now on,
07:09the Yankees will become frantic
07:11and catch the criminal.
07:13It's more hunting than catching.
07:15Oh.
07:17Looks like the short-tempered guys
07:19already started to move.
07:21Are you dumb?
07:23How are you going to pay 10 million?
07:25You're unemployed.
07:27Like I told you,
07:29I'm unemployed. I'm working.
07:31But...
07:33Even so, you can't.
07:35You can't spend 10 million on someone like me.
07:37It's okay.
07:39This 10 million is from a tournament
07:41and I didn't know what to spend it on.
07:43What? Tournament?
07:45Prize money?
07:47Ah.
07:49What do you mean?
07:51Um, to tell you the truth,
07:53I used to participate
07:55in hacking skill competitions for a while.
07:57I was quite skilled at hacking
07:59if I do say so myself.
08:01I have dominated many tournaments
08:03and the prize money I got there
08:05is just sitting there.
08:07H-hacking?
08:09It's not dangerous, so don't worry.
08:11It's just a competition of skills
08:13to analyze, modify,
08:15and build computer networks
08:17using computer technology.
08:19And it's different from cracking,
08:21which attacks other people's computers.
08:23I don't understand what you're saying.
08:25Anyway,
08:27we'll catch the stalker, so don't worry.
08:31Even if he doesn't get caught,
08:33he won't be able to stay here in this town.
08:35Okay.
08:37Thanks,
08:39Leo brother.
08:41And the next day,
08:43I was invited by Anna today
08:45and we decided to go out together.
08:47She said she wanted to thank me for yesterday.
08:49When was the last time
08:51I went out with Anna?
08:53Does this mean we're friends?
08:55As I was thinking...
08:57Wait!
08:59This guy?
09:01You came, just as I thought.
09:03Who are you?
09:05Get away from my Anna!
09:07No thanks.
09:09You're the one who should disappear from Anna.
09:11I told you get away!
09:15Leo brother, watch out!
09:19Let go!
09:23Wow...
09:25Leo...
09:27You're that strong?
09:29Anna, call the police right now.
09:31Okay.
09:33A few minutes later.
09:35I'll leave it to you guys now.
09:37Okay, let us handle it.
09:39I'm a little worried
09:41because the Japanese police are soft
09:43on criminals who stalk people like this,
09:45but I believe in you.
09:47You know quite complicated things.
09:49Are you by any chance
09:51someone involved?
09:53What?
09:55No, I just heard from rumors.
09:57That's amazing
09:59that you were able
10:01to single-handedly seize
10:03this giant man and hold him
10:05until we arrived.
10:09I learned a little self-defense.
10:11Wait,
10:13you look familiar.
10:17You're the legendary Japanese hacker
10:19Reo Shiraishi
10:21who also cooperated with the FBI.
10:23Huh?
10:25FBI?
10:27Is that America's...
10:29When I went to America for training a long time ago,
10:31I heard rumors there.
10:33I never thought I'd be able to meet you
10:35in a place like this.
10:37Ah, you found out.
10:39Let me tell
10:41a little bit about who I am.
10:43After graduating from elementary school,
10:45I moved to America
10:47to continue my parents' work.
10:49After graduating from a local high school,
10:51I entered a prestigious American
10:53university.
10:55I've loved computers for a long time,
10:57so I acquired skills related
10:59to information processing,
11:01systems, and programming.
11:03Gradually,
11:05I became absorbed in hacking,
11:07participating in numerous hacking competitions
11:09and winning.
11:11In the end, I also won a global competition
11:13where talented hackers
11:15from all over the world gathered.
11:17Furthermore,
11:19I was scouted by the FBI
11:21who had come to inspect the tournament.
11:23Thinking that I could use my skills
11:25in a good way, I readily agreed.
11:27I was appointed as an FBI
11:29cybercrime investigator.
11:31I started cooperating
11:33with the FBI as a hacker.
11:35I also learned self-defense
11:37during this time.
11:39Unexpectedly, this seemed to be
11:41my vocation.
11:43I became aware of cybercrime cases
11:45using my hacking skills.
11:47After being active for several years,
11:49I returned to Japan.
11:51I still get asked for advice
11:53and opinions from time to time.
11:55By the way,
11:57I am currently working as a freelance
11:59white hacker.
12:01Or, white hacker is simply
12:03justice hacker.
12:05However, I didn't want people to think
12:07I was involved in something dangerous
12:09like a hacker or the FBI.
12:11I told my father
12:13to not tell Anna or her mom.
12:15What?
12:17That's amazing!
12:19I knew you were smart
12:21from before, but didn't think
12:23you were this great.
12:25I'm just a free
12:27white hacker now, though.
12:29Tell me more about it later, okay?
12:31Alright. Now that you
12:33found out, there's no reason to
12:35hide it.
12:37Good thing that guy was arrested.
12:39You don't have to pay 10 million anymore.
12:41You're right.
12:43I won't tell the fact
12:45that it was all calculated,
12:47including that it's going to be
12:49creepy.
12:51And that night...
12:53Leo brother,
12:55thanks for saving me.
12:57And sorry for making fun of you
12:59all along.
13:01It's okay. Don't worry about it.
13:03But why did you throw away
13:05such an incredible title and come back to Japan?
13:07Because
13:09I heard dad was getting remarried
13:11and I wanted to see you, Anna.
13:13What?
13:15That's the reason?
13:17Well, I don't have to be
13:19an FBI to work with computers.
13:21You...
13:23You wanted to see me?
13:25Exactly. I wanted to see
13:27you, Anna.
13:29You wanted to see me that much?
13:31Yeah. But you don't like
13:33me, since you always make
13:35fun of me.
13:37No!
13:39I wanted to see you for so long, too.
13:41Because I love you, Leo.
13:43What?
13:45I was
13:47frustrated because I thought
13:49that Leo brother became unemployed
13:51and fell off.
13:53You were so cool in the past.
13:55I was making fun of you
13:57because I thought you would definitely
13:59be so much better if your hair and clothes
14:01were done properly.
14:03Really?
14:05Yes. The way I said it was
14:07harsh, sorry,
14:09and...
14:13What?
14:15You promised to marry me.
14:19I can't believe it.
14:21You remembered.
14:23Of course. I never forgot
14:25about it even once.
14:27Leo, did you remember?
14:29Of course.
14:31I'm so glad.
14:33Hey,
14:35we can get married if we're step-siblings,
14:37right?
14:39Yeah. It's not against the law.
14:41Okay. Then make me your wife
14:43like you promised?
14:45I would love to.
14:47Since then,
14:49Anna has become spoiled
14:51like a different person.
14:53As for me, as Anna told me,
14:55I cut her hair, studied fashion,
14:57and bought new clothes.
14:59Brother, play with me.
15:01Hey,
15:03stop it.
15:05I won't stop until you play with me.
15:07My recent worry
15:09is that Anna is too cute and
15:11too aggressive.
15:13I think it's a luxurious problem for me.
