00:00My name is Laito Ishikawa. I am an earnest, righteous student who's entered high school this spring.
00:06Yo, you nerdy introvert! Lemme some money!
00:10Uh, sorry, I don't have my wallet with me right now. Goodbye.
00:15Huh? We know you're lying!
00:18A nerdy, quiet, frail boy like you should just pay up! Hurry and...
00:24However, I have one huge secret. That is...
00:30That's enough.
00:32Oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:34Don't touch me like that. Get lost.
00:37Yeah! I'm so sorry!
00:41Ah, shit! I did it again!
00:46Yes, this is my secret. Although I'm an earnest student now, I was a delinquent too back in middle school.
00:53When I was young, I had a very weak body.
00:56Because I didn't like that, I started going to a karate dojo to get training.
01:00After that, a lot of things happened and I gained power.
01:04At middle school, I was the top in strength in my area.
01:08Because of that, I often picked fights in hopes of gaining more power.
01:12Get him!
01:13I fought with many different types of people, from delinquent chiefs of different schools, gang leaders, etc.
01:20There were times I even fought with a female gang leader who was much stronger than men.
01:25Fight with me! Let's see who's stronger!
01:28However, just when I graduated middle school, I finally realized...
01:32I haven't had any youthful experiences!
01:35Huh? Wait a second. I gained this much power, but what is this? I'm so lonely!
01:42Why did I yearn for power this much?
01:45And with that, I decided to be an earnest good man.
01:48I changed the way I looked and decided to go to a high school a little far away from my hometown.
01:53I also started living alone.
01:55From now on, I aim to live a normal, fresh high school life.
01:59But, I know high school life is supposed to come with love and romance, but I just don't get the hots for girls.
02:06I wonder why. I don't have any romantic feelings for anyone.
02:10And then one day, I got a call from my mother.
02:14However, I was surprised with the contents.
02:18Huh? A marriage meeting?
02:21Yeah. If we leave you like this, you'll never find a girlfriend, right?
02:26I recently became friends with a person who has a daughter the same age as you.
02:31It was so fun talking about it.
02:33Wait, and you didn't ask me?
02:36So, I'll see you on the day. See ya!
02:39Hey! Don't just hang up like that!
02:43A few days later, I was called out by my mother and went to meet the opponent.
02:47I wonder what will happen.
02:50But, maybe she's a great girl!
02:53Okay, here I go!
02:55Excuse me!
02:57Nice to meet you!
02:59My name is Laito Ishikawa.
03:02I-I knew it!
03:05Huh?
03:07You're...
03:09Laito? Why are you here?
03:12As soon as I entered the room, my dreams were broken.
03:15That was because I knew this person.
03:18Her name is Emily Fujita.
03:20She's the chief of the famous female gang in my hometown.
03:24And she's well known and feared as Emily of the Roaring Flames.
03:28She's definitely stronger than any other delinquent in the area.
03:31On top of that, we've known each other since elementary school.
03:35And we usually fight like cats and dogs.
03:38I met Emily back when I was just getting stronger at karate.
03:41What a beautiful face!
03:43A cute girl like her trains here too, huh?
03:46Hmm? What are you staring at?
03:49You messing with me?
03:51Huh?
03:52You're scowling at me right now!
03:54I'll show you that even a girl can beat a boy!
03:58I wasn't scowling! I just have a sharp glare to begin with!
04:02And what's that all of a sudden? Not cute!
04:05Huh? That's it! Fight me! Right now!
04:09Oh yeah! It's on!
04:11That was the way we met, and we fought head on right then and there.
04:15However, because we were both strong, our battle ended in a tie and we ended up becoming rivals.
04:20We were together even throughout middle school, and we continued to have our battles.
04:24Because we both yearned for power, I became the neighborhood leader,
04:28and Emily became the leader of our own delinquent gang.
04:31Polito! Today is the day I end you!
04:35Oh, it's on!
04:36And when we met, we would always get in a fight.
04:39However, because we both trained our bodies well, we always ended in a tie.
04:43I haven't met her since I graduated middle school and turned into an earnest man.
04:48And yet, I never imagined I will reunite with her here.
04:52What's this? I came reluctantly because my parents forced me to.
04:58And it's you?
05:00I feel the same.
05:02And what? I thought I haven't seen you for a while, but you've changed, huh?
05:08Hmph. I'm already a righteous earnest man.
05:12What?
05:14You're kidding! How about our battles?
05:18Huh? Yeah, whatever. You win.
05:21Huh? You little-
05:23My, my. So you two were already friends?
05:28That's wonderful. We were both troubled because our children were troublemakers, right?
05:35Yeah. Let's get them engaged!
05:39Oh, yes.
05:40And why does that happen?
05:44The next day. Geez, that was a lot of happenings at once.
05:48Our parents were all getting excited. Well, I guess I don't have to meet her anymore.
05:54Huh?
05:56Yo.
05:57Huh? Emily? Why are you here?
06:01I- I was kicked out of the house and told to come here.
06:05I tried to go home midway, but it started raining and-
06:09Oh, shit. Apparently, our parents wanted us to live together.
06:14When I checked my phone, I had a message from my mother as well.
06:18Who would have thought they'd go to such extreme measures?
06:22Achoo!
06:25Come in, then.
06:27Oh, is it okay?
06:29Can't help it, can we? It's such heavy rain. You'll catch a cold, so go take a shower.
06:35Y-yeah. Thanks.
06:38Ten minutes later.
06:40Sorry, Lighto. I even borrowed your clothes.
06:46Apparently, my luggage will arrive tomorrow.
06:49Hm? What?
06:51N-n-nothing!
06:53She's so beautiful if she acts normal.
06:56I-I'll go take a shower, too. Just chill here.
07:00Yeah, got it.
07:02I took a long shower and tried to calm my head.
07:05And when I went back to the room...
07:08Wow! Amazing! What's this?
07:11Um, well, I thought I was causing trouble, so...
07:16I thought at least I can cook for you.
07:18Can I eat it?
07:19Yeah, of course.
07:21Ah, it's delicious! I didn't know you can cook, Emily.
07:26W-well, I'm glad.
07:30I am a girl after all, you see.
07:34Yeah, it really is surprising. And you look like you can't do anything.
07:39Well, I'm pretty good at cooking myself, too.
07:43Ah? I look like I can't do anything?
07:47And it's obvious I'm the better cook.
07:50Of course not! My fried rice is amazing, you know.
07:54Let's see who's better next time.
07:56Oh, it's on.
07:59I'll make you sorry.
08:02Like this, our restless life living together began.
08:06Even after that, we continued to have quarrels while living together.
08:10Although our days were restless,
08:12because we never really talked to each other normally in middle school,
08:15there were times we'd sit down and have daily conversations together.
08:19A tie again?
08:22Whatever, I'll go take a shower first.
08:26Careful!
08:28Hey, you okay?
08:31I-I'm sorry.
08:33No, me too.
08:35Shit, why am I feeling like this?
08:38No, no, I'm just not used to spending time with girls.
08:41Yeah, that's probably what it is.
08:45That night.
08:46Well, um, I'm getting used to sleeping in the same place.
08:50I guess we can't help it since we don't have many rooms.
08:53Let's sleep soon.
08:54Hey, is there anyone you like?
08:57Huh? Why are you asking me this suddenly?
09:01Because we always fight and we've never had such experiences, right?
09:06I was wondering if you've ever felt your heart flutter.
09:10I mean, for example, you know, I'm a girl too, right?
09:16Of course I don't feel my heart flutter for you.
09:21Really?
09:22Yeah, really. Come on, it's time to sleep.
09:26Okay, but it's cold today.
09:29Huh?
09:31So, come here.
09:35She smells good. I mean, no, no!
09:39What are you doing?
09:41Since we've been living together for a while now,
09:44I wanted to try this out.
09:46Huh? Try what out?
09:49Lighto, are you really not feeling anything?
09:55If so, why not sleep together?
09:58I mean, we are engaged after all.
10:04Stop!
10:06Stop messing around with me! This is too much!
10:09Yeah, I know.
10:12I know I'm not enough.
10:15Huh?
10:17Nothing. Sorry, let's go to sleep.
10:21Yeah.
10:24The next morning when I woke up, Emily wasn't there anymore.
10:28Even a dumb person like me understood. It was because of yesterday.
10:33What am I doing?
10:36The next day after school, I went to my hometown to look for Emily. Then...
10:40Did you find her?
10:42No, not yet.
10:44That's the members of Emily's gang.
10:47Hey, what happened?
10:49Ah, Lighto!
10:51We're in trouble. Chief is...
10:53What?
10:55From what I heard, the delinquent and motorcycle gangs that Emily had crushed before made a revival and launched a raid while she was away.
11:02Emily went to finish them off alone.
11:04She's strong, but the enemy is large in numbers.
11:07Emily!
11:09Got it. I'll search for her too. Is there anywhere she might go?
11:13A few hours later.
11:19You look nice. We're not scared of you since you're alone, Miss Emily of the Roaring Flames.
11:28Since you have this weird sense of justice, we can't play around in this neighborhood.
11:33You're in the way of everything, so disappear.
11:37Shit...
11:41Wait!
11:45Why are you here?
11:49Who are you?
11:51I'm... Emily's fiancé.
11:56Hey, hey, did you hear? He's her boyfriend.
11:59Just when I thought she was being meek and mild, you were out having fun with this introvert?
12:03Introvert?
12:06Lighto...
12:08Well, thanks to that, we were able to gather forces.
12:12Don't come! This is just too many people.
12:17Besides, I don't want them to talk bad about you.
12:23That's right. I remember now. The reason why I became strong was...
12:28Hey, who planned all of this?
12:30Huh? Of course it's me, Seiya Kondo. Because I'm the boss of our town.
12:37I see. Understood. Don't talk anymore.
12:41Huh? What are you saying, you nerdy introvert kiddo? Should I go beat you up?
12:46I can probably beat you with just one hand.
12:53I said shut up, you gorilla.
12:56You don't even have the guts to have a fight one-on-one. That's why you need all these people.
13:02Don't think you all can go home unhurt.
13:06No way! He beat him up in one blow!
13:10Who... who is this?
13:13Y-you're... Lighto Ishikawa.
13:16What? Ishikawa, the famous fighter? Ishikawa Ogre?
13:21I thought he disappeared from this town.
13:23No, it's him. I remember challenging him to a fight and he beat me up bad.
13:29What?
13:31You're kidding.
13:33B-but I'm sure we've got enough people on our side.
13:37That's true. We don't plan on playing fairly to begin with.
13:41True. Might be hard for me to face this alone. But I can with Emily.
13:48Can you stand? If not, I'll do this alone.
13:50Lighto...
13:53Don't think lightly of me. I was just taking a little rest.
13:57Thought so. Good, let's go!
14:04A few minutes later.
14:06Phew, finally finished.
14:09Yeah, I...
14:11You're really strong, Lighto.
14:14I'm sorry I caused you trouble.
14:17But I can say this now.
14:18I like you, Lighto.
14:22Why would you like a guy like me?
14:25It began back then.
14:28A long time ago, the boys in the karate dojo were getting jealous of me because they couldn't beat me.
14:35That was when everyone came to fight with me at once, and you came to help me, Lighto.
14:43But back then, we lost.
14:46But back then, we lost terribly.
14:50I felt so responsible for that.
14:53Sorry, Lighto.
14:56If this is going to happen, I think I should quit karate.
15:00Huh? Why?
15:04Because they told me that a girl can never be as strong as a man.
15:09And I'm not even cute as a girl.
15:11And does that matter? Why not be a strong woman?
15:16I will get stronger. I won't lose again.
15:19That's why you become stronger too, Emily. I can't do this without you.
15:23Yeah, okay. I will become stronger too.
15:29But I won't lose to that.
15:33Then, if I win, listen to everything I say, okay?
15:38Yeah, sure.
15:39If you win every battle we have, I'll listen to everything you say.
15:43Yeah, it's a promise.
15:46After that, we gained more and more power.
15:50We graduated the dojo as the two biggest troublemakers.
15:56That was when I decided...
15:59I wanted to become strong so that I can be good enough for you.
16:03Emily...
16:05That's why after winning a battle with you,
16:07I wanted to ask you to make me your girlfriend.
16:13But I can't ever win.
16:16And I made you say things you didn't want to.
16:19That you're my fiancé. I'm sorry.
16:23It's not something I don't want.
16:26Huh?
16:28Besides, there's one thing I'm losing at.
16:31They say that the person who falls in love first is the loser.
16:33That's true, but...
16:36I've always been in love with you too.
16:39That's right.
16:41I remembered everything from the incident that happened today.
16:44I've been interested in Emily since we first met.
16:47And the reason why I became strong was...
16:50That is, after seeing Emily cry back then,
16:53I wanted to become a strong man who could protect her.
16:56Because we've been battling each other so much,
16:59I forgot something this important.
17:00But since then, I've always been into you.
17:03That's why, even when I'm with other girls,
17:06my heart doesn't flutter.
17:08But with you, it's always thumping up a storm.
17:11Laito...
17:13I was shy, so I avoided you sometimes.
17:16Sorry. Please, let's start again as a couple.
17:20Of course! I love you, Laito!
17:24With that, we started dating each other.
17:26After that, Emily's gang members finished the enemies off.
17:29They all left the town scared of us.
17:32The people around us also blessed our relationship.
17:35Congratulations!
17:37You're finally together!
17:39Man, Laito is such a numbhead.
17:43Sorry.
17:46And our chief couldn't be honest to herself either.
17:50I... I'm sorry.
17:52She couldn't be honest to herself either.
17:55I... I'll try to be more honest to myself from now on.
18:00And we do continue living together, but...
18:03Hey, Emily! You're so close!
18:06Well, I decided to be more honest to myself.
18:10You don't like this?
18:12It's not that I don't like it, but...
18:15Hmm... Is that so?
18:18If anything, I love it!
18:20Laito, you know my love for you is way more than this.
18:26Please accept everything!
18:29Of course!
18:32The burning love my beautiful, strong girlfriend has for me is enormous.
18:36I plan on loving her more and more, because I don't want to lose to her feelings for me.
18:41Hi! It's me, Mel!
18:44Thanks for watching my channel!
18:46I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos, too!
