00:00My name's Masato Ono, 26 years old, just your average sales dude.
00:07Still haven't bagged any big deals, though.
00:09Time to snag a massive contract, flip the bird to everyone around.
00:14Gotta conquer this place for sure.
00:17The impenetrable corporate aukey life!
00:20Rumor has it the president is a stubborn mule, can't even nail a negotiation.
00:26Loads of sales sharks swarm just to snag an appointment.
00:30Karen!
00:31Over here!
00:33Actually, it's not really like that.
00:36What?
00:37What are you looking at?
00:40Man, she has this scary vibe.
00:43Her name's Karen Aukey, the famous hottie receptionist in this company.
00:48Gotta kill her face, but her reception game's straight up ice.
00:52Word is, she's the president's spoiled granddaughter.
00:55Yet that frosty attitude has some sales guys falling head over heels.
01:00How about dinner sometime?
01:03Nah, me first!
01:05Back off, dude!
01:07Not happening.
01:09If you don't have a business, get lost.
01:12Can't even talk business properly like this.
01:17Oh well, gotta reschedule.
01:19Oh, Masato!
01:21What?
01:22What?
01:23If you were here, you should've said.
01:26Uh, didn't really feel like I could.
01:30Sorry, but the president's on a business trip.
01:33Oh, how about some tea?
01:35Nah, I'm here for work.
01:38Oh, come on, after you're done?
01:40Hold up, Karen.
01:42People are watching.
01:43Hey, you!
01:44No cutting in line!
01:46Nobody like you, sales chump.
01:49You're getting all chummy with her.
01:51Huh?
01:52Hey, you punk!
01:53My Masato's not a nobody.
01:55Got it?
01:57Talk down on him and I won't go easy on you.
02:00Uh-oh, is she slipping into that mode again?
02:03Gotta handle this for now.
02:05There, there, Karen.
02:07Calm down, yeah.
02:09Ah!
02:10Scared ya, huh?
02:12But you're safe now.
02:14Yeah, got it.
02:16Phew, alright.
02:18Sorry, just old habits.
02:20Hey, don't stop.
02:22I was getting all nostalgic.
02:25Hey, you!
02:26Lay off Karen.
02:27It's annoying.
02:29No, the annoying one is you.
02:31This is a place for work talk.
02:33What did you say?
02:35He's right.
02:37Huh?
02:38That voice, could it be?
02:40Well, if it isn't President Aoki,
02:43we'd love to partner up with...
02:45Not interested in working with people like you.
02:49Leave.
02:50What?
02:52I only do business with folks with principles,
02:55like Masato here.
02:57You remember me?
02:59Of course.
03:01Now, let's talk in private.
03:03Karen, join us.
03:05Sure.
03:06Let's go, Masato.
03:08Can't believe he remembers me.
03:10Yeah, me and Karen go way back,
03:13since we were students.
03:14But not as buddies,
03:16more like teacher and student.
03:19Back when I was a college student,
03:21I took up tutoring to put my study skills to good use.
03:25Got a job at a certain household
03:27because they had a sudden opening.
03:29Turns out, it was the Aoki family.
03:32Hey, you're the new tutor, right?
03:35Come in.
03:36Man, this place is huge.
03:38I bet they're super rich.
03:41What I need help with is my granddaughter,
03:44my high school sophomore.
03:46My parents work overseas,
03:48so I'm stuck looking after her.
03:50Spoiled her too much,
03:52and now she's a handful.
03:54Well, that's a common story.
03:57She's always been wary,
03:59especially of guys.
04:01So, maybe a female teacher would...
04:04Don't be like that.
04:06You don't look that tough,
04:08but don't overdo it.
04:10Huh?
04:11Am I going on a monster hunt or something?
04:14Karen, I'm coming in.
04:16The twelfth tutor has arrived.
04:19Wait, twelve?
04:22What?
04:23Ha!
04:24Bringing in another weakling, huh?
04:27She's like a total delinquent.
04:30I'm Karen, head honcho of the Bad Angels.
04:33Nice to meet ya.
04:35And she's the boss?
04:37Calm down, Masato.
04:39Maybe she looks tough,
04:40but inside, she might be a nice girl.
04:43So, substitute X here.
04:47See?
04:48She's surprisingly calm, listening.
04:51Hey, you know...
04:53I ain't gonna get this X and Y stuff.
04:56I'm Japanese, you little...
04:58Eek!
04:59Fine, let's start from somewhere you understand.
05:03There's no place I understand everything.
05:06What's with this rampage?
05:09Just calm down.
05:10Seriously, no need to freak out.
05:12Eek!
05:16This intimidation!
05:17Just like my old cat, Mio-chan!
05:21Let me explain.
05:22Mio-chan is a stray cat I've had since I was a kid.
05:26At first, she was pretty wild,
05:28hissing and clawing when I tried to approach.
05:30But I managed to tame her with a technique I came up with.
05:35There, there, there.
05:37It's okay now.
05:40Huh?
05:41It's gonna be fine.
05:42Just getting used to each other, Mio-chan.
05:45Oops!
05:46No, no!
05:47She's not a cat.
05:48She's the gang leader and my student!
05:51Sorry, there's a deep reason for this.
05:54Keep...
05:56Keep going.
05:58Whaaat?
06:00Y-you're not uncomfortable with this?
06:03Don't know.
06:05But it's calming.
06:07Never felt like this before.
06:09W-well then.
06:11Even after getting into super angry mode,
06:14she quickly calms down with that comforting technique.
06:17Even though it's strictly forbidden to touch a student,
06:20her grandpa is impressed and approves.
06:23Slowly, she starts focusing on her studies,
06:26and the gang dissolves over time.
06:28With conflicting feelings,
06:30I graduate from university.
06:32Hey, if you want,
06:34you can work here for life.
06:37Thank you.
06:38But for the sake of gaining more life experience,
06:41I've decided to take a sales job.
06:44W-well, I'm totally cool with you.
06:47No, Karen, you'll be fine on your own.
06:50See ya.
06:52Huh?
06:53This is for the best,
06:55because if we spend more time together,
06:57I might seriously fall for her.
07:00It was truly a heartbreaking decision.
07:03As a teacher and student,
07:05romantic feelings are off limits.
07:07To forget about Karen, I throw myself into work.
07:10Or so I thought.
07:13Phew.
07:14I'm so glad we met again.
07:17Me too.
07:19Can't believe he's the president of Aoki Life.
07:22This must be fate.
07:24Let's work together.
07:26What?
07:27But, I mean...
07:29I choose my business partners based on character.
07:33Or are you not confident in your proposal?
07:36N-no!
07:37I'll give it my all!
07:39However, in return...
07:42Can you be Karen's tutor again?
07:45Huh?
07:46Done with the studying?
07:49No.
07:50You saw Karen's attitude at the reception, right?
07:53Yeah.
07:54Some folks seem to dig it, though.
07:56Yeah, they might.
07:58But remember, we're still a legitimate company.
08:01Plus, she can't do a thing around the house,
08:04like cooking or cleaning.
08:06In other words, I literally want you to be a home tutor.
08:11What?
08:12What do you want me to do specifically?
08:15It's your version of home, but...
08:17Well, it's like wife training.
08:19Wanna make sure she's got the qualifications to be one.
08:23I'm always on business trips,
08:25and you can use the house freely.
08:27So, it's a deal.
08:29W-what?
08:31So, I secured a contract with the impregnable Aoki Life,
08:35with a secret condition that I can't tell anyone.
08:38Naturally, how my colleagues see me changes,
08:41loaded with expectations and responsibilities.
08:44While giving my all at work,
08:46after a few years, I visited the Aoki family again.
08:50But the teacher-student relationship hasn't changed,
08:53so it feels kinda weird.
08:56Hey, Masato!
08:58Counting on you again!
09:00Wha-? Y-yeah, but why that outfit?
09:04Thought it might be nostalgic.
09:06What, not cute enough for you?
09:09Uh, no...
09:11You wanna call me an old lady, huh?
09:13That what you're saying?
09:15N-no way!
09:17I'm only 21, still fresh and kicking!
09:21Uh, geez, come here!
09:24Okay, there, there, there...
09:27Still fresh and kicking.
09:29Really? Do you mean it?
09:32Super cute, you're fine.
09:36Aw, yay.
09:38Guess she hasn't changed in terms of settling down.
09:42And at night, we decided to try cooking together.
09:45I've been helping my parents since forever,
09:48but Karen apparently never touched a knife.
09:52Can't cut it properly at all!
09:54Wanna swap?
09:55No way, I'll do it myself!
09:57Alright, go for it.
09:59Like this?
10:00Come to think of it, Karen's always been a bit spoiled.
10:04But when it comes to finishing things on her own, she's admirable.
10:08Despite being the president's granddaughter,
10:10she's normal with money and has been like that since forever.
10:14I like that about you.
10:16Me too. Huh?
10:19Oh! I mean, um...
10:21Masato, you're kind.
10:24But don't treat me like a princess and you just watch over me, right?
10:28If you say so, Karen.
10:30I respect that you handle things on your own.
10:33Masato, um, you know, I've been thinking...
10:39Oh no! It's burning!
10:42What? Why? Don't burn without permission!
10:45Wait, don't go into super angry mode!
10:48Get permission from me before you burn!
10:51Hold on a sec!
10:53Living in the Aoki house, the days of working with Aoki Life began.
10:57But at the reception, Karen, still popular with her classic saltiness.
11:02To avoid mixing personal and professional life,
11:05I try not to be seen around too much.
11:08Oh!
11:10Hey Masato, when are you coming to see me again?
11:14Well, I'm coming over tonight, but...
11:18I know!
11:20Hey, what do you want for dinner?
11:24Man, I feel superior!
11:26But the president was worried, and at this rate...
11:30How about it? Is it good?
11:33Yeah, it's amazing! You've mastered cooking!
11:36Right? Yay yay!
11:39Hey, how about you try doing the reception with that vibe?
11:45What?
11:46Looks like folks who ain't got nothing to do with work are gathering too.
11:51Ah, got it. If you say so. I'll give it a shot.
11:55Now, it's been a few days since then, and wonder how's Karen doing.
12:01What? Hasn't she doubled in popularity or something?
12:05Thanks for coming again today!
12:07The president's out right now. If it's business, should I handle it?
12:12She can do it if she tries, huh?
12:14But it feels kinda...
12:16Oh! Masato, good afternoon!
12:20Huh? Um...
12:23Someone's waiting for you upstairs.
12:25Same response as everyone else. This is normal, but this feeling...
12:30Since then, Karen's changed both personally and professionally.
12:34Always calm, never getting angry, she's grown into the perfect, beautiful receptionist.
12:40Even though the president felt relieved and went on another business trip, my inner feelings weren't calm.
12:46Karen is a full-fledged adult now. Does that mean I'm out of the picture?
12:52Oh! Destiny!
12:54What the...
12:56Finally found you, my beautiful and elegant mademoiselle!
13:01That guy is, if I remember right, the young investor, Naruo Tomiai.
13:07Please marry me!
13:10What the heck?
13:12All of a sudden?
13:14Whoops, my bad. How about a dinner with my parents at my mansion?
13:19Well then, see you later, my love!
13:23Looks like love at first sight.
13:25Cinderella and Prince Charming, huh?
13:28Things got kinda wild.
13:32Hey, isn't that amazing? That guy is a pretty famous investor in this industry.
13:37Oh, really?
13:41A perfect match. Heiress of a big company and a young investor.
13:46You sure about that, Masato?
13:50Well, calm down, Masato. There's no way I can match up with an heiress and just a regular tutor.
13:57Of course, I can keep the promise to marry you off and everything.
14:01It'll be fine. He's got money and I'm sure he's a nice guy.
14:06I see. Then I'll tell grandpa.
14:10After that, it seemed like Karen herself contacted Naruo.
14:14Being rich and all, the conversation went smoothly.
14:17And a few days later, they were going to his house for dinner.
14:21But I couldn't stop Karen, who looked determined until the end.
14:25Well then...
14:26Yeah, see ya.
14:28Can't be a good teacher if I don't celebrate my student's new journey.
14:33Anyway, I need to get out of here.
14:37I'm back. Oh, Karen, you've decided to get married, huh?
14:43Oh, Mr. President, Karen just went to...
14:47Oh, Masato, you did a really great job.
14:52I managed to marry her off, though.
14:55I managed to marry her off to a prince.
14:59Oh? Yeah, for Karen, you might be the prince.
15:04Um, it's not me, you know.
15:06What? It's not?
15:08It seems Karen only texted the president that she's gonna get married.
15:12Seeing that, he mistakenly thought I decided to marry her.
15:16Of course, I tried to explain about Naruo and make him feel happy, but...
15:21What are you saying?
15:23No way I'm handing my beloved granddaughter to some guy she just met.
15:28But he's an investor, and it's beneficial for the company.
15:32Don't care about that stuff.
15:34I asked you to be her home tutor to qualify her for being your wife, got it?
15:39Huh?
15:40The only guy Karen's opened up to is you.
15:45Sir, thank you. I gotta go.
15:48Hold on. First, who the heck is this Naruo guy?
15:53Oh, even the president is in full-on rage mode.
15:57Well, can't be helped.
15:59All right, there, there. Everything's gonna be all right.
16:05I'll make sure Karen will be happy. No worries.
16:09Phew. Counting on you, then.
16:12Is this genetic for this family? Anyway, gotta jet!
16:16Gotta jet!
16:20Came all the way here, but...
16:22Jeez, it's like ten times bigger than I imagined.
16:26Is this a whole new level or what?
16:29They might be getting along inside, but...
16:32Even if Karen pushes me away, I'll still be there for her.
16:36No! Stop!
16:41Cut me some slack!
16:46What's going on? Why is she so mad? What did you do?
16:50I didn't do anything.
16:52Just gave her etiquette lessons along with the ultra-luxury course.
16:56Oh.
16:58Even when I tried to switch with the maid for washing dishes,
17:02she went into this threatening mode.
17:05Well, that was bound to happen.
17:07All right, let's do the usual.
17:09There, there. Everything's okay now.
17:13Shhh!
17:18Come on, it's me. You know that, right?
17:22I know. You're the guy who has zero interest in me.
17:26What?
17:28I mean, even though I've liked you for so long,
17:31even if I marry someone else, you wouldn't care!
17:34That's not true! I've always...
17:37I've liked you all along!
17:39Uh-huh!
17:40I was always making excuses about relationships and my status since we were students.
17:46But I'd get jealous seeing you being nice to everyone.
17:49I tried acting aloof on purpose to make you jealous too!
17:53But deep down, it's always been you.
17:58Yeah, I came to take responsibility for that.
18:01You're my only student, so let's be together till the end.
18:05Masato! My darling!
18:08I've been waiting for those words!
18:10Wait, wait! I have the status and money and...
18:15You also have kindness, but you know,
18:18if it's kindness, just spoil me. I don't need it.
18:24Masato will work hard with me. I love that about him.
18:28You're pretty strong.
18:31I guess I'm still immature.
18:34In that case, I'll embark on a new journey.
18:37I'm entrusting you with Karen, okay?
18:40Well then, Masato, let's go home.
18:44Yeah, and when Grandpa gets back, he'll have our special hamburger steak.
18:50Natoro Tomiya, I have a feeling we'll meet again somewhere.
18:55Are you even listening?
18:57Oh, there, there.
19:00Later, I married Karen, became the son-in-law, and was taken into the Aoki family.
19:06This led to a headhunt from Aoki Life.
19:09Of course, without any special treatment from the president,
19:12I worked hard every day, and a few years later...
19:16I'm home!
19:18Hey, darling! What's with that?
19:21Did you get it from a girl?
19:24No, no! That project we were working on went well,
19:27and Natoro, who invested, gave it to me.
19:30Really?
19:33Yeah, seriously!
19:35Then, do that thing!
19:38Alright, alright!
19:41More, more!
19:44The once aloof receptionist is now an affectionate wife,
19:48and me, just a lousy salesman, am now the next president of Aoki Life.
19:54Hi! It's me, Mel!
19:57Thanks for watching my channel!
20:00I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos, too!
