00:00My name's Raito Sasaki. I'm a 22 year old permanent part-timer.
00:05No dreams, no savings, just coasting through these days feeling totally awful.
00:11Oh, there's that person again. Am I headed down that road too?
00:16Nah, gotta survive somehow. Gotta hustle with these part-time jobs.
00:22So, next month I'll clock in more hours.
00:25Oh, sorry. We're shutting this joint this month.
00:29What?
00:32So, no need to show up from tomorrow.
00:35Got it.
00:37What am I gonna do now? Is my life over? Do I gotta live here on the streets too?
00:45Got some complaints from the neighbors.
00:48Huh? Isn't that...
00:50This is a park. Let's talk at the station.
00:54Hey, I know this person!
00:59Oh, really?
01:01Yeah, he's someone who's used to crashing outdoors.
01:05What kind of a habit is that? Well, if that's the case...
01:09I got this, officer.
01:11Hey, um, thanks.
01:14Huh? A woman?
01:16You saved me. Let me thank you?
01:19She seems more upbeat than I thought, but that smell...
01:24How about a shower at my place?
01:27Sure, I'd appreciate that.
01:35But I ain't got the bandwidth to be rescuing people.
01:39Maybe after shower, she can leave.
01:42But seriously, thought she was some random dude.
01:46Phew, you're a lifesaver.
01:49Thanks, you're one brave boy.
01:52Whoa, you're gorgeous!
01:55Oh, stop it.
01:57Why's a stunner like you homeless?
02:00Oh, I'm not homeless, you know.
02:03Huh? Then who the heck...
02:06Private Detective Extraordinaire, Erika Shimada.
02:12Head honcho of Erika Detective Agency.
02:15A detective?
02:17Yeah, got a job finding a lost kitty.
02:21Gotta get into a stray cat's mindset.
02:24So I was camping in the park.
02:26Why would you think that? Natural airhead, maybe?
02:30Anyway, you! Being all kind to strangers.
02:34Well, kinda got inspired.
02:37By me?
02:38Yeah, me barely scraping by.
02:41Never thought you're a detective.
02:43But not finding one silly cat?
02:46A loser for a detective, huh?
02:49Oh, that cat's been hanging around here lately.
02:53Look, isn't that the one?
02:55Found you! Nice one, kiddo!
02:59She's nothing like I imagined.
03:01Later, the mystery detective contacts the client,
03:05and the cat's safe and sound.
03:07But that isn't the end of this wild ride.
03:10But hey, righto, right?
03:13You've got some detective potential.
03:16Huh?
03:18And your current job's tanking, huh?
03:20Alright.
03:21Wanna work at my agency?
03:24What?
03:25Plus, you'll be my top student, you know.
03:28A private detective?
03:30Gotta admit, kinda idolized that.
03:32And working with this beauty.
03:34Sure, how about I check it out?
03:37Absolutely.
03:39But before that, mind if I sleep for a bit?
03:46Uh, go for it.
03:48This got wild real quick.
03:50But hey, gotta roll with it.
03:52But can I really be a detective?
03:56Here we are, at my office.
03:58Wait, what?
04:00Power's out!
04:02What?
04:03This is the office?
04:05Yep.
04:06Sorta office-slash-home.
04:09Where do you shower and stuff?
04:12Local bathhouse.
04:13Sit and wait while I change.
04:15This isn't what I pictured.
04:17Alright then, let's work hard together.
04:20Uh, yeah.
04:22By the way, what's the current job?
04:24Nothing.
04:26That's the thing.
04:28Just the cat hunt's the only one.
04:30Guess I gotta find a new job, huh?
04:33Um, something I wanna ask you.
04:36Got a request?
04:38Uh...
04:39Calm down.
04:41So, what's the deal?
04:43I wanna investigate my husband's cheating.
04:46Investigating cheating?
04:48Suddenly got real detective-y, huh?
04:51The client, Mrs. Suzuki, married her current husband three years back.
04:56Her husband looks like your typical businessman in picture,
04:59but apparently, he's been pulling late nights for the past six months.
05:04And when he gets home, smells like he just took a shower.
05:08Is he really working late?
05:10When I ask, he's like,
05:12you doubting me?
05:13And gets all mad.
05:15I totally trust him.
05:17I just wanna know the truth for peace of mind.
05:20Rest easy, ma'am.
05:22Leave it to me, this beautiful detective Erika Shimada.
05:26She says it herself.
05:28But, the household wallet's under his control.
05:32I'm short on cash.
05:34Money's no issue.
05:36Later.
05:37We got your back, remember?
05:39She's a good person, huh?
05:42And so, we start our first proper detective job.
05:46Investigating a potential affair.
05:48We stake out at her husband's workplace right away.
05:51Oh, she's supposedly pulling overtime again today.
05:55Got it.
05:56But, Erika, aren't you a bit too close?
06:00What are you saying?
06:01Trying not to look suspicious?
06:03Nah, this is making it way more suspicious.
06:06Um, excuse me.
06:09What are you two doing here?
06:11Uh, well...
06:13We're, uh, on a date, officer.
06:16Looked like you were acting shady though.
06:18No, no, not shady, just...
06:21We're madly in love.
06:23Right, darling?
06:25Uh, yeah, we are.
06:27Wanted to stick close.
06:29Uh-huh.
06:30Come on, darling.
06:33Closer now.
06:35Of course, honey.
06:37Alright then.
06:38Phew, he's gone.
06:40Hey, darling.
06:42Mwah!
06:43Love ya.
06:44He's already gone!
06:46Oops!
06:47Sorry, got carried away.
06:50But was being your sister sounded more real?
06:53W-what?
06:54Sorry that I look like a kid.
06:57Come on, don't get mad.
06:59Geez, you're so adorable.
07:02The target's coming out.
07:04Oh, yeah.
07:05I got in a taxi and he looks cautious.
07:08Huh?
07:09Suspicious.
07:11Let's tail him.
07:12Hey, taxi!
07:14I'm Tamotsu Otakura from Tokimeki Taxi.
07:18Skip the name, just follow that car now.
07:21I always wanted to say that.
07:24I get it, but Erika, we're going the wrong way on a one-way.
07:29Ah!
07:30Don't know what's happening, but leave it to me.
07:33Somehow, thanks to the driver, we managed to catch up.
07:37But turns out, the target went into a gym.
07:40And a few hours later, sure enough, he stepped out looking like he showered.
07:45Well, if you work out, you gotta shower, huh?
07:48Okay, let's head back.
07:50To your place.
07:51What?
07:53But you see, no bathhouse today.
07:56And maybe not tomorrow either.
07:58Yeah, yeah.
08:00Can't have you crashing there.
08:02Yay!
08:03That's my apprentice.
08:05And so, on a whim, we ended up living together.
08:08But...
08:14She totally doesn't see me as a dude.
08:17I'm totally aware, though.
08:20Maybe...
08:22Huh?
08:23Hey, Raito.
08:25You like a lucky cat or something?
08:28Hold up!
08:29What are you...
08:30Because, right when you show up, a request comes!
08:34Just get some clothes on!
08:37I wanted to give you a bonus, but no cash.
08:40Oh!
08:41Gonna clean your ears.
08:43Don't treat me like a kid!
08:46Aw!
08:47You don't want me to?
08:49Yes, please.
08:52Alright!
08:55After reporting the investigation results to Mrs. Suzuki,
08:59a few days later, she came by the office to thank us.
09:02Turns out, her husband's been secretly hitting the gym,
09:05planning to surprise her once he's all buff.
09:08Now he hits the gym every day and says stuff like,
09:11hits another PR with bench press,
09:14so I'll carry you like a princess.
09:17But secretly working out without telling the wife.
09:20Good hubby, huh?
09:21Raito!
09:22You get ripped!
09:23Make it a bit manly!
09:25What?
09:26I don't need to be...
09:29Here I am.
09:31But as I am, can't be seen as a man.
09:34Shameful.
09:35But maybe I should work out too.
09:37Huh?
09:38Could that be...
09:40The next day.
09:41Hey, Raito!
09:42How about spilling it now?
09:45Just wait.
09:46You're gonna know soon enough.
09:47Look, he's here!
09:49Of course he'd be here, right?
09:51Now find a Neptune machine.
09:53Huh?
09:54Hey, what's that about?
09:57I knew it!
09:58Yes, yesterday when I came to this gym,
10:01something caught my eye.
10:03Firstly, the only shower room is out of order.
10:06Secondly, there's no bench press,
10:09something that'd normally be here.
10:11When I asked a buff guy,
10:13the shower's been busted for six months.
10:16They removed the bench press a year ago due to injuries.
10:19So the woman used her staff status to block the shower room.
10:23The guy lied about a bench press that should've been there.
10:26And here, the ripped dude's roars would drown out any sound.
10:31What a deduction!
10:34But why this gym?
10:36That's not important now.
10:38Look, let's go gather evidence.
10:41A few days later.
10:43This is...
10:45I asked the other staff and found out she's hooked on a dating app,
10:49playing around with married guys.
10:52If I didn't know, I thought the investigation ended there.
10:56Sorry for what I did.
10:58Sometimes, ignorance truly is bliss.
11:01Oh, is it?
11:03Happiness built on lies isn't real happiness.
11:07You're a woman who can grab true happiness.
11:10I guarantee it.
11:12Detective!
11:14Yeah, she's someone admirable and strong.
11:18But hey, once the divorce is through, how about hitting a mixer?
11:23Yeah, absolutely.
11:26Man, women can switch gears so fast.
11:30After admitting guilt, Mr. Suzuki settled and got divorced.
11:34And as Erika said, they were supposed to be off to a mixer, but...
11:39Ugh, another day no spark.
11:42Where the heck are the decent guys hiding?
11:45Seriously, get some proper sleep in the bed, okay?
11:49Men always cheat anyway.
11:52Well, I'd never cheat, just so you know.
11:55Really?
11:57Raito, you're a faithful guy, huh?
12:01Well, I never had a girlfriend.
12:04Aww, that's pure, isn't it?
12:07Alright then, you're officially...
12:10Could it be?
12:11From apprentice to partner!
12:14Yay me!
12:16The incident caused a stir, and slowly but surely, we started getting more cases.
12:22What was initially a curiosity about detective work turned into a full-blown obsession.
12:28But along with that, the more time we spent together, the more I found myself drawn to Erika.
12:34Hey, Raito?
12:36Ever had a grown-up kiss?
12:39Erika, come on!
12:41I'm gonna show me...
12:43Wait, we're in the middle of an investigation!
12:46Aren't you drinking too much?
12:48Oh, come on!
12:50Blending in better this way?
12:52Jeez, well, it's almost over anyway.
12:56The fiancé's background isn't adding up.
12:59Hey, you there, miss!
13:01Man, found a total hottie!
13:03Let's all grab a drink!
13:05Without even realizing he's being investigated...
13:08Come on, come!
13:10Wait a sec...
13:12Could you not touch my girlfriend, please?
13:15Let's go, Erika.
13:17Y-yeah...
13:19Maybe went too far with that...
13:21Despite that, the cases kept pouring into Erika Detective Agency.
13:26Even if I wasn't seen as a man, just being there as a partner was enough.
13:31That's what I'd told myself, right at that moment.
13:35Huh? Could that missing cat case have been the first request?
13:40Oh? You saw?
13:42This is...
13:44Truth is, to find that person is why I became a detective.
13:48But all I remember is his nickname was this.
13:51He was called Taku, he wore glasses...
13:55I've given up, you know.
13:57Besides, now...
13:59No, I'll find them.
14:01But...
14:02Come on, can't keep doing mixers forever, right?
14:06And I want to claim a win for myself too!
14:09Really?
14:10Well then, good luck.
14:13A few days later.
14:15Old-headed as it may be, there's too little info.
14:18And if I do find him, there Erika would...
14:22No, at least as her partner, I want her to find happiness.
14:26Righto! It's work time, get ready!
14:30But there's no way a Tsuchinoko exists!
14:33But we got the request!
14:35From who?
14:37Some local elementary school kid.
14:40Let's just go home.
14:42I'm busy searching for your first love, aren't I?
14:45Still at it? It's fine already.
14:51Thanks!
14:53Come on, I'll call us a cab and we'll head home.
14:57Of course I don't want to find him.
14:59This is Tokimeki Taxi, Otakura speaking.
15:03Oh, hi. It's that detective.
15:06Can you come pick us up? We're in the mountains looking for a Tsuchinoko.
15:10Haha, you guys are surely having fun, huh? On my way!
15:15From then on, I kept searching for her first love, Taku, while grappling with inner conflicts.
15:21Just when I started thinking he might never turn up...
15:25Righto, today we're hunting for Nessie, according to some neighborhood kids.
15:30When did we become a Yuma investigation firm?
15:34But first, I found your first love.
15:37What? But Nessie's first! Call a cab, let's go!
15:41Already done.
15:43But, seriously?
15:46You actually found him, but he doesn't remember me, right?
15:51Well, let's ask him.
15:53Huh?
15:54Hey, Tamotsu Otakura. I mean, Taku.
15:58Huh?
15:59Long time no see, Erika.
16:02No way.
16:04I casually mentioned it before, and it matched his memory.
16:08Didn't recognize you all dolled up.
16:10You've changed too.
16:12I've aged quite a bit.
16:15By the way, Otakura's single.
16:18Wait, Righto!
16:20Otakura, my boss might be a bit sloppy, but...
16:24She's a genuinely lovely woman with a pure heart.
16:27Erika, no need for any more mixers now.
16:30And it's quite a moving reunion, so I'll get going.
16:34Wait!
16:36Sure, I wanted to reunite with Taku, but...
16:39My current partner is you.
16:41Without you, I...
16:43I can't handle work or personal life.
16:47At that mixer, I only introduced Mrs. Suzuki to the guys.
16:53Actually, I pretended to go to make you jealous.
16:59No way a lazy, messy girl like me gets seen as anything but a total hassle for a romance, right?
17:06Of course not. I've always liked and respected you as a woman and a person.
17:11I kept being stubborn to the end. I'm so immature.
17:15No, I was trying to meddle with your search for my first love.
17:20I'm relieved, Erika.
17:22Huh?
17:24Seems like you've found a reliable partner, and I have one too.
17:28A partner in anime!
17:31Taku?
17:33We're here, detectives!
17:35Erika, let's go!
17:37Yeah.
17:39Will you stay with me forever?
17:42Of course! Whether it's about Tsuchinoko or Nessie, let's search together for life!
17:48Yay!
17:50I love you, my one and only partner.
17:54When heading back, leave it to the Tokimeki Taxi Taku!
17:59And thus, I became the partner of the beautiful Detective Erika, in both work and personal life.
18:05Taking on any requests that came our way, we didn't get rich.
18:09Gradually, we became a beloved detective duo in the community.
18:13Those busy yet blissful days flew by in the blink of an eye.
18:17Alright, another case solved!
18:21Um, I want to investigate something.
18:25Welcome. What's it about?
18:28It's about investigating my husband's affair.
18:32Hmm, I don't think that's necessary, because...
18:37Your husband only loves his wife!
18:40Oh my god! Such a brilliant detective! I love you.
18:46You really love that part, huh?
18:50But you're so cool, darling!
18:53Never again do the lights in this office go out. And our love, too.
18:59Hi! It's me, Mel!
19:02Thanks for watching my channel!
19:05I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos, too!
