00:00Today's the day I'll take you down and prove I'm the strongest!
00:04Bring it on! If you think you can handle it, give it a shot!
00:09I am Ryu Saito, aka the Dragon King of Koiwa High, feared as the toughest delinquent in the neighborhood back in my school days.
00:19And there's Kanna Nakano, the badass leader of the ladies gang Tokimeki.
00:25Hey, you! What are you looking at? You wanna fight, huh?
00:29We used to be arch-enemies, locked in fierce battles day and night. But that's all in the past now.
00:36Now, at 20, I'm just a jobless dude.
00:40I'm starving, but I'm broke.
00:43Can't believe things turned out like this.
00:47I grew up in a single-parent household.
00:49In my final year of high school, my only family, my mom, passed away from an illness.
00:55That's when I quit being a delinquent and moved in with my grandfather, a cook, to learn the ropes.
01:03And now, Grandpa falls ill and ends up in the hospital.
01:07Result? Grandpa's diner shut down.
01:10And I lost my job, too.
01:13Can't pay rent. Gotta move out tomorrow.
01:16Sold everything I could on the flea market site.
01:20Huh? Oh, yeah, the flea market site!
01:24No money. Might as well...
01:27Um, 20-year-old guy, good at cooking.
01:31And here's a photo. Let's start at 10 grand.
01:34Covers tomorrow's internet cafe and meals.
01:38Whoa, sold already? Seriously?
01:42Got a message from the buyer right away.
01:44Set the date and place for the handover.
01:48Wait, this is near my place. This person a local?
01:52Uh, got it.
01:54Wait a second, this totally breaks the rules.
01:58Day of the deal.
02:00Headed to the meeting spot to apologize directly, but...
02:04What if something shady goes down?
02:07Are you Ryu Saito?
02:09Huh?
02:10Nice to meet ya. I'm Ran Tenshin.
02:14Oh, hey.
02:16Just a regular person.
02:17Wait, cute?
02:19No, what am I thinking?
02:22Um, I kind of want to cancel this deal.
02:26Oh, come on. We'll talk later. Now hop in.
02:29Hey, what's going on? Stop pushing me.
02:32Come on, just go with the flow.
02:36It's been 30 minutes. I haven't seen a single house.
02:40What's gonna happen to me?
02:41Sold off to some shady organization?
02:44And 10 minutes later, we arrived at...
02:49Welcome to Tokimeki Hot Springs Inn.
02:52Now, the young landlady's waiting for ya.
02:55Huh? What's going on?
02:58It's fine.
03:00Hey, stop pulling me!
03:04I was guided to a separate building.
03:06She said the young landlady would come if I waited here.
03:10What's this place?
03:12Looks like a separate house, but feels lived in.
03:17Sorry to keep you waiting.
03:19Whoa, um, yeah, thanks for...
03:23Wait, you're...
03:25Hey there, a long time no see.
03:28Man, what a surprise.
03:30Just browsing the flea market site and I find my old rival selling himself for peanuts.
03:35Couldn't resist buying ya.
03:37Kanna Nakano, of all people to buy me.
03:41But hey, what are you doing here, looking like that?
03:46Huh? Is it weird for me to work at an inn?
03:49This is my family's place, you know.
03:51She's pretty popular with the customers.
03:54Hey, you don't have to say that.
03:57Got it!
03:58Oh, I'm Ran, the maid. Nice to meet ya!
04:02Hmm...
04:03Yeah, she's probably popular.
04:06She's cute and looks great in that kimono.
04:09Why are you staring at me?
04:11I ain't staring!
04:13Seriously, you're too tall.
04:15Sit properly, cross your legs.
04:18Ugh.
04:22From today, you belong to me.
04:25Get ready for it.
04:26Oh man, is she planning to get back at me for those days?
04:31What's gonna happen to me, being bought by the toughest leader of the Tokimeki gang?
04:37But strangely, we ended up in the kitchen.
04:40Huh, you gonna use this kitchen knife on me?
04:44Stop talking nonsense.
04:46You're good at cooking, right?
04:47Then help out, we're short-staffed.
04:50Y-yeah, got it.
04:53Huh? Found a job, huh?
04:57Later that night, after finally finishing work.
05:01Man, what did Kanna call me for?
05:04I'm tired, man.
05:06Hey, I'm here like you said.
05:09Good, come in.
05:11Hey, what's with that outfit?
05:14Huh? Something wrong?
05:15I always dress like this after a bath.
05:18Well, if that's what you're into.
05:21So, what's up?
05:23Oh, I thought you could give me a massage or something.
05:27What?
05:29What's wrong?
05:30Hurry up.
05:31You don't have the right to refuse, you know.
05:34Ugh.
05:36Ten minutes later.
05:39Is this okay?
05:42Oh, yeah.
05:43Not bad.
05:45Hey, you can go stronger if you want.
05:48Uh, like this?
05:50Oh, yeah, that's it.
05:53How's that? Annoyed?
05:55This is probably the worst treatment you've had, huh?
05:59Actually, feels like a reward.
06:01Super soft and smells great.
06:04And on another day.
06:06Hey, what about your innkeeper duties?
06:09I'm doing them properly.
06:10I'm on break now.
06:11Entertain me.
06:13Quit playing.
06:14I'm working.
06:16Then work and entertain.
06:18I'm your master, remember?
06:20Don't get cocky.
06:22Feels like I'm being followed around by a puppy.
06:25Another day.
06:28The food here is awesome.
06:29Come on.
06:30Here comes the plane.
06:32Hey, stop it.
06:34I can eat by myself.
06:36What are you saying?
06:37You don't have the right to refuse.
06:39Open up.
06:41Ugh.
06:42Uh.
06:44I don't get it.
06:46What's this girl's deal?
06:48And so time passes by.
06:51A month at the inn.
06:52And I got used to the kitchen life.
06:55I get paid properly.
06:56No complaints about the benefits.
06:58Plus, Kanna takes care of me well.
07:02Is it okay for me to stay like this?
07:04Supposedly bought by her.
07:07Oh, hey, Ryu.
07:09What are you doing here?
07:10Oh, just thinking about stuff.
07:14Must be about Kanna, huh?
07:17Nah, it's not like that.
07:19No need to get all shy.
07:21I'm rooting for you, you know.
07:24Nah, it's just a misunderstanding.
07:26Me and Kanna aren't like that.
07:29All right, then.
07:30So what's on your mind?
07:33I only knew the old her, you know.
07:35Can you tell me more about Kanna?
07:38Well, sure thing.
07:41Word is, Kanna.
07:43She's the only daughter of an old inn
07:45been raised strict since she was a kid.
07:48Even her rebellious high school days
07:51were about pushing back against that.
07:54But a few years back, her mom, the landlady,
07:57got sick and had to go to the hospital.
08:00Probably because of stuff from way back, you know.
08:04Now that the old landlady is not around,
08:07Kanna's holding down the fort as the young landlady.
08:11Sales at the inn have been dropping lately.
08:14Hanging in there thanks to Kanna.
08:16I see.
08:17She's really keeping it together.
08:20Wait, her mom's really that sick?
08:23Oh no, it's not like that at all.
08:25She's on the mend, just taking it easy for now.
08:29Got it.
08:30That's a relief.
08:32All right, gotta go.
08:34Yeah, thanks for everything.
08:37Didn't know.
08:38She's really hustling out there.
08:40Gotta show some appreciation for hooking me up with a job, at least.
08:45Thinking that, I went straight to Kanna's room.
08:48Hey, mind if I come in?
08:51What? Ryu?
08:52No, not now.
08:53Wait!
08:55Geez, what are you flailing around for?
09:01So, what's with the getup?
09:04Whoa, what are you looking at, you?
09:07My mom never even saw me like this.
09:10When do you turn into a space time traveler?
09:14Just shut up and just forget everything you saw.
09:17Should I just knock you out with three hits and erase your memory, huh?
09:21My bad, just calm down.
09:23Why are you so calm?
09:24I'm gonna hit you.
09:26Please spare me.
09:28Anyway, you wear this kind of stuff?
09:31What? It's not a big deal.
09:33I like these clothes.
09:35Been collecting them secretly for ages.
09:37Oh, really?
09:39Everyone's got their own taste.
09:41It's cool, isn't it?
09:43Ugh, don't act like you care.
09:44If you want to laugh, then laugh.
09:47Nah, I'm not laughing.
09:49Honestly, it suits you.
09:51What? Are you serious?
09:53Of course.
09:54Um, you look really cute in it.
09:58Stop it!
09:59You're messing with me.
10:01Ugh.
10:02Yeah, she's right.
10:04Jeez, this feels weird.
10:07A few days later.
10:09Oh, it's Kanna.
10:11She really looks good in a kimono.
10:14Thanks a lot, Kanna.
10:16We had a great time thanks to you.
10:19Yeah, we sure did.
10:21We'll definitely come back here again.
10:24Thank you so much!
10:25Please come visit our inn again.
10:27All of us here are looking forward to your next visit.
10:30Oh, she really is cute, huh?
10:34One day.
10:36All right, prep for the reservations is done.
10:38Just gotta get the staff meal ready.
10:40Huh?
10:42Found a cool spot.
10:43How about we go on a date?
10:46No, thanks.
10:46I'll pass.
10:48Aw, come on.
10:49Don't be like that.
10:51Who's that guy?
10:53Oh, that's Chara Yabasugi.
10:54He's the heir to our main lender, Yaba Bank.
10:58Wow.
10:59Wait, can you not read minds?
11:02You cool with that?
11:03Seems like he's got eyes for her.
11:05I told you, we're not like that.
11:08Oh, Ryu, you were here?
11:10You should have said something.
11:12Oh, uh, my bad.
11:14More importantly, what's up?
11:16Thought you were talking to that guy.
11:19It's fine, we're done talking.
11:21Forget that.
11:22Staff meal's coming up soon, right?
11:24I'm in the mood for a hamburger steak.
11:27Again?
11:28You had one the day before yesterday.
11:31So what?
11:32I'm sick of Japanese food.
11:33Plus, your Western dishes are decent.
11:37Decent is generous.
11:40Who's that guy?
11:41All over my kanna.
11:44With a job lined up and kanna nearby,
11:47I thought those happy days would continue.
11:50A few weeks later.
11:52This might be getting bad.
11:55Business not going so well?
11:57Well, yeah, we managed to scrape by so far.
12:00But now we're in the red.
12:05She's really struggling.
12:07If only there's something I can do to help kanna.
12:10Oh, right!
12:13An hour later.
12:14Hey, kanna, think we can make this a new signature dish?
12:19What's this?
12:21Just whipped it up on a whim.
12:22I got some confidence in my cooking skills.
12:26I appreciate the thought, but what's the head chef say?
12:30Uh, he liked the idea, but said it's too out there.
12:34I figured.
12:36Sorry, but it's a no-go.
12:38No need for apologies from you, kanna.
12:41My bad.
12:42I'll think of something else.
12:44Phew, it's tougher than I thought.
12:47But cooking's the only thing I can do to help.
12:50Hey, where's the young landlady?
12:52Get her out here.
12:54Huh?
12:55What's going on?
12:56Sounds like it's at the entrance.
12:58I'll check it out.
13:00I'll come with you.
13:01There they were.
13:03That guy from before and his lackey.
13:06Please stop, charao.
13:07You're disturbing other guests.
13:10My bad.
13:11So what's this about?
13:13Well, I've decided to call in the entire loan amount we've extended so far.
13:19Wait, what?
13:21Wait, is this a loan shark move?
13:24They know we're in financial trouble.
13:27That's not what we agreed.
13:28We've been making monthly payments.
13:31I understand, but this is business.
13:33Plus, it's my father's decision.
13:36Uh, that's...
13:38But I'm not heartless.
13:40If you listen to my proposal, I'll make things easier for you.
13:45What proposal?
13:46Be my woman.
13:48Then we'll forget about this whole loan repayment thing.
13:51I'll convince my father.
13:55So what'll it be?
13:56Although, I doubt you need to think about it.
14:01What a low blow from that guy.
14:07Kanna.
14:08I refuse.
14:09I'm not dating some guy I don't like.
14:13All right, whatever.
14:14Such a bummer, man.
14:16Hey, Ranta.
14:18Seize stuff that's worth some cash and haul it away.
14:21Roger that, boss.
14:23Hey, cut it out.
14:24That pot is precious to my mom.
14:29Too late for regrets now.
14:31You had your chance, but blew it.
14:33What a dimwit.
14:35Ugh, you.
14:38Hey, you.
14:39Let go of those filthy hands.
14:41Oh, what's up with you?
14:43You wanna pick a fight with me?
14:45I'll say it again.
14:47Let go.
14:49I can let go if you want.
14:51So, boss, what's the call?
14:54It's annoying.
14:55Ranta, take care of it.
14:58Got it.
14:59First, I'm gonna crush you.
15:01Eat dirt.
15:07What's with this flashy punch?
15:09Kanna's punches were a hundred times better than this.
15:13Eek, that forehead cross scar.
15:16And that chilling gaze.
15:18There's no mistake.
15:20You... are you the Dragon King from Koiwa High?
15:25Oh, you know that name, huh?
15:27Does that mean you're from the same hometown?
15:30Then you know what will happen if you mess with me.
15:33Will you keep going like this?
15:37Eek, this is insane.
15:39No way I can handle this.
15:41Hey, wait a sec.
15:43Don't leave me hanging like that.
15:47These guys are pathetic.
15:50Hey, Ryu, thanks for helping me out.
15:53I really appreciate it.
15:55No big deal.
15:56I just couldn't leave a girl I like hanging.
15:59Wait, like?
16:01What's that supposed to mean?
16:03I mean, I like you, okay?
16:05I've got feelings for you.
16:09What? Why?
16:11Can't help it.
16:12I've fallen for you.
16:14Seeing you work so hard for the inn,
16:16I just wanted to support you, you know?
16:19Wow, Ryu, I didn't know you felt that way.
16:23That's great.
16:25I like you too, Ryu.
16:26I've liked you for ages.
16:29Huh? Ages?
16:31Since when?
16:33Obviously since high school.
16:35We were enemies back then, but
16:37when I got caught in that sneaky trap,
16:39you helped me out.
16:41Oh, right.
16:42I remember that now.
16:44So I wanted to beat you and ask you out,
16:46but then you retired.
16:49Sorry about that.
16:50Family stuff, you know?
16:53It's fine.
16:54At least we can meet like this again.
16:56By the way, did you buy me?
16:58Cause...
17:00Of course, I just wanted to get closer to you,
17:02that's all.
17:03And just to be clear,
17:05I reported to management of the flea market site
17:07afterward that there was no contract.
17:10Oh, I see.
17:11Now I get it.
17:13I love you, Kanna.
17:15Will you be with me?
17:17Yes.
17:18Make me your woman, Ryu.
17:21Wow, what a lovey-dovey scene.
17:24Later, it seems that Charao
17:26got a serious scolding from his father
17:29and was disowned.
17:31Apparently, he started the whole
17:32loan shark thing on his own.
17:34What a mess.
17:35Such a spoiled brat.
17:38Now we just need to turn around the business.
17:41Alright.
17:42Oh, how about we go for a western theme
17:45instead of Japanese?
17:47Exactly!
17:49Based on Kanna's idea,
17:50I came up with the idea
17:52of a weekly fusion day at the inn.
17:54The frilly dress-up
17:56and the new western-style menu
17:57became a huge hit.
17:59The inn's business saw a V-shaped recovery.
18:03Ugh, am I really wearing this for work again?
18:07Oh, Kanna,
18:08you always liked these kinds of outfits.
18:11Didn't you?
18:12You used to wear them all the time.
18:15What?
18:15Mom, you noticed?
18:19With the landlady back,
18:20things seem to be settled now.
18:23Ugh, I've been humiliated like this.
18:26You better take full responsibility for it.
18:30Regardless of the outcome,
18:32once you've been bought,
18:33you've gotta take responsibility for your life.
18:37I'll put everything I have left
18:38into fulfilling that responsibility.
18:42Hi, it's me, Mel!
18:45Thanks for watching my channel!
18:47I'm super happy if you watch the next
18:50and other videos, too!
