00:00Good morning!
00:02Discipline Committee Chief. Good morning!
00:05I'm Ryu Sasaki, a high schooler who's been working for the Discipline Committee for three years straight.
00:11If I gotta correct one thing, it's that I'm not the chief.
00:16Here comes trouble.
00:18He's Makoto Goto, a fellow third-year like me.
00:22Maybe because everyone knows he's from the Koiwa family, the Yakuza, nobody messes with him.
00:28Except me.
00:30What?
00:32I'm not thrilled to say this every morning, but it's part of the job!
00:36Makoto, where's your tie?
00:39Who needs a tie? Stop nagging!
00:42Didn't bother to bring it, huh?
00:46Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:48There's a college information session today.
00:51Bet they said to wear ties, right?
00:53Use this one.
00:55Don't need it.
00:56At least wear it for the session!
00:59Been having this back and forth since we started school, so I'm the only one who gets to call out Makoto.
01:06People think Makoto's scary, but he isn't out there picking fights with everyone.
01:11Seems like he's keeping his distance. Wonder what's up with him.
01:15Got something else to say?
01:17Nah.
01:21After school.
01:22Hey, you left this earlier.
01:25Oh, thanks.
01:27Yeah, Makoto isn't all bad after all, like what people say.
01:33Ten minutes later.
01:34Still, I just want to coast through this last year of my high school peacefully.
01:39Huh? Is that...
01:41Makoto and some kid from another school? His friends?
01:46You just want to talk, right?
01:48Shut up! Keep walking!
01:51Something's off here.
01:54What do you want? Just spit it out already, ain't got all day.
01:58It's cause of your attitude.
02:00And now they're at it. Oh well, here goes nothing.
02:05Officer, over here!
02:07Huh?
02:08Come on, hurry up!
02:10Gotta run now!
02:13Come on, we're trying to sneak out while they're distracted.
02:16Jeez, just hang tight!
02:20Man, he's light!
02:22Hey, what are you...
02:23Just hold on to me!
02:25What?
02:26I know he's gonna be pissed, but we gotta get out of here!
02:31Hey, stop!
02:33Why would we stop in this kind of situation?
02:36Hey, put me down!
02:39Stop talking, or you'll bite your tongue!
02:43Looks like we shook him off.
02:45You... you... are fast.
02:50Thought he'd lose it, but I bet he's more surprised.
02:54Lucky me, got good reflexes. Training pays off.
02:59You okay, though? You hurt?
03:02You didn't have to do that!
03:05Does this happen a lot? Why'd you even get into it with those guys?
03:09He said I bumped into him.
03:12Apologized, but he said he didn't like my vibe.
03:16Neither us back down.
03:18Ugh, lame.
03:20I didn't want to waste time on this, too.
03:23But hey, I could've handled it myself, you know.
03:26Yeah, I know I didn't have to do that.
03:30But what if things got ugly with those guys?
03:34That goes the same for you, right?
03:37Well, yeah, but...
03:39If you get involved with me, you might catch some heat, too.
03:43I don't want to drag anyone into this mess.
03:45Makoto?
03:47But... thanks for today. Really.
03:52Makoto's usual vibe and attitude...
03:55He's definitely keeping everyone at arm's length.
03:58What?
03:59Nah, sorry for snapping earlier.
04:02But I can't just leave you to get hurt.
04:05Maybe you should trust others more, rely on him?
04:09Eh?
04:11Tch, such a busybody.
04:13Well, anyway, good thing you're not hurt.
04:16Oh, right! You gotta eat more.
04:18You're too light, and I was shocked.
04:21What?
04:22Catch you at school!
04:25Next day.
04:27Heard Makoto's absent today.
04:29Did something happen after that?
04:31Should've escorted him home, maybe?
04:34You're Ryu Sasaki, right?
04:37Yeah, that's me. Can I help you?
04:41Got something to talk about.
04:43Can you spare a minute?
04:45Even if I say no, I doubt he'll listen.
04:48And so, he took me to...
04:51Koiwa family.
04:53I knew this had to do with Makoto!
04:56This way.
04:58What's gonna happen to me?
05:00I wanna go home!
05:02Or, I mean, I wish they'd take me home!
05:06Sorry to keep you waiting.
05:08Boss, it's an honor.
05:12So this boss guy is Makoto's dad,
05:15and that girl next to him, she's Makoto's twin sister?
05:19They look alike.
05:20Sorry for dragging you out here.
05:23Oh, no.
05:25Seems like you helped Makoto yesterday.
05:28Oh, it's really not, it's not that big a deal.
05:32Don't be so modest.
05:34I heard from my daughter.
05:36Huh?
05:37I should have come to you directly, but...
05:39I have a favor to ask of you.
05:41A favor?
05:43I'd like you to marry my daughter.
05:46You! I'll devote my life to you!
05:50Wha? I'm still in high school, and I just met your daughter!
05:54What are you saying?
05:56You're in the same class as Makoto, right?
05:59You see each other every day.
06:01Wait, you're Makoto?
06:04Um, yeah?
06:07You're a girl?
06:09I thought you were a guy.
06:11What? You mistook my super cute daughter for a guy?
06:16Are your eyes broken?
06:18Eek!
06:19Dad, hold on!
06:21It's not his fault.
06:23I didn't tell you, Dad,
06:25but at school, I pretend to be a guy,
06:28so everyone thinks I'm a dude.
06:30What?
06:31Well, you did wore pants, but to think you'd...
06:35You're clueless, Dad.
06:38We live in the 21st century, you know.
06:41The school roster mixes boys and girls.
06:44We do gym together.
06:46And, if you want, you can take required courses with boys.
06:51They let me change in the nurse's office,
06:53considering the circumstances, but...
06:55I... I see.
06:57But why didn't you tell me?
06:59Uh, nobody asked?
07:02Eh?
07:04Sorry.
07:06Surprised?
07:07Whoa, don't get all cozy-dressed like that.
07:11Aw, I worked up the courage for you, do you?
07:14This is my get-up.
07:16Being a dude at school already takes guts, doesn't it?
07:19Makoto, you're not married yet.
07:22Stay away from him.
07:24Ugh!
07:26So, you'll make me your bride, right?
07:29Why would I do that?
07:31Because yesterday you were so cool with you.
07:34You said I could rely on people.
07:36Made me super happy.
07:38What?!
07:40Isn't that a good enough reason?
07:42Ugh, that Makoto in school looks kinda cute today.
07:47Hey, guys, we gotta show him some passion, too.
07:51Please make Makoto happy!
07:54L-Let me think about it!
07:56Luckily, I managed to go home that day without any fuss,
08:00but...
08:03Next day's lunch break.
08:05Hey.
08:06Same old Makoto.
08:08Must be tough changing her personality like that.
08:11We gotta talk. Come.
08:13Haven't had lunch yet.
08:15Just come.
08:18Thanks for yesterday.
08:20Huh?
08:21As an apology, I made you lunch.
08:24Sit here.
08:26Here comes the plane!
08:29Why?
08:30Huh?
08:32A wife's gotta look after her hubby's health, right?
08:35If you have something you wanna eat, just tell me.
08:38W-Wife?
08:40I mean, like...
08:42We're getting married, right?
08:44Oh, come on, Makoto.
08:46Then why are you still dressed like a guy today?
08:50Only you get to see me as a girl.
08:52Feeling kinda weird.
08:54Hey.
08:56What's your type, do you?
08:58Long hair.
09:00Demure type.
09:01Like a traditional Japanese beauty.
09:04I'm sure saying the opposite type will make her give up.
09:08Got it.
09:09If you like girly girls,
09:11maybe I'll wear that kind of school uniform for you.
09:15As long as you're in proper uniform,
09:17I won't say a thing.
09:19Girls wearing slacks is allowed by the rules anyway.
09:22I'm not asking about that.
09:25Just eat your food, will ya?
09:27I'll make you admit I'm cute for sure.
09:29Huh?
09:30Nothing.
09:32Next day.
09:34Was there a hottie like that at our school?
09:37Yeah, I know, right?
09:40Hey, wearing a wig violates the school rules.
09:44I made myself cute cause you said you like long hair.
09:47Don't say that kind of stuff in public!
09:50I wanna be your perfect wife!
09:53What's this feeling?
09:55You're breaking rules for me, and I don't feel bad.
09:59From that day on, Makoto stuck to me like glue,
10:03never leaving my side for a moment.
10:06Hey, can you teach me how to solve this?
10:09Where?
10:11Uh, how many kids do you want in the future?
10:15Can't tell you that!
10:17Come on, don't be shy.
10:21If you're not gonna study seriously, I'm leaving.
10:24Ugh...
10:26On another day.
10:28Can I walk arm in arm with you?
10:31Even if I say no, you will.
10:33Hey, I'm always grilling you with questions,
10:36but don't you wanna ask me about my future family plans or views on marriage or something?
10:41Then I wanna know about your family.
10:43I don't know anything about that yakuza world.
10:46They used to do a lot of stuff in the past,
10:49but now it's totally different.
10:51Mainly into real estate and temp staffing, I guess.
10:55I see.
10:57Well, working in that shady world is a fact.
11:01My brother declared he isn't taking over and just split.
11:05What's your dad saying?
11:07He told me not to worry about it.
11:11But he did seem kinda lonely, you know?
11:14So I'm planning to take over.
11:17This whole dressing like a dude thing is to survive in a world full of hot-headed guys.
11:22Like practice, you know?
11:24You gotta go that far?
11:27It's about my feelings.
11:29Looking tough kept most guys from getting too close,
11:33which suited me.
11:35But now?
11:37If I'm gonna be a wife, gotta go back to being a girl, right?
11:41And you, you were the first person who really cared about me, besides my family.
11:47I wanted to face you as being my true self.
11:51Wanted you to know different sides of me.
11:54And hopefully like me.
11:57She's really into me, huh?
12:00Honestly, not ready to think marriage and stuff,
12:04but kinda curious about you, Makoto.
12:07Really?
12:08Then let's go on a date this Sunday.
12:11Date?
12:14On that Sunday.
12:16Geez, you little rascal.
12:19Why don't you take off the wig?
12:22But you like long hair, right?
12:25I said that cause I was just trying to push you away.
12:29But I really like girls who are just themselves.
12:33Huh? Does that mean you're into me?
12:37I-I didn't say that!
12:39Yay!
12:41Wait, listen to me!
12:43And so our time together grew.
12:46Eventually, my feelings started to shift.
12:49Everything about Makoto, how she acts, became so precious to me.
12:54One day...
12:56Oh, you?
12:58Mom?
13:00Wait, is she your girlfriend?
13:03Makoto has family stuff going on.
13:06Gotta find the right time to talk.
13:09But how do I introduce...
13:11Uh...
13:13Hi! Nice to meet you.
13:16I'm Makoto Goto. I'm his friend.
13:20Oh my, aren't you polite.
13:23Come over sometime and stay. I'll be waiting.
13:26Oh, I'd love to!
13:28Made things a little awkward...
13:31that night.
13:33So, this you seems to have gotten himself a girlfriend.
13:37It's not like that yet.
13:39Now feels like the right time.
13:42I can tell her about Makoto.
13:44Alright.
13:46Hey, um...
13:48Civilian caught up in the crossfire.
13:50This stems from a turf war between...
13:52Oh my, that's scary.
13:55Makoto's family isn't into shady stuff,
13:59but these things might happen.
14:02Getting with her means stepping into that world.
14:05Do I really have what it takes to get roped into that?
14:09But I can't give up on Makoto.
14:12Gotta tell her how I truly feel
14:14and work hard to get both our parents on board.
14:19The next day.
14:21What is it you want to talk about?
14:23I have something that I really need to talk about.
14:26Hmm?
14:27I've always seen rules as necessary
14:29for smooth relationships with everyone else.
14:32Still do.
14:33So, I see your family as going against that.
14:37But I also realized I was dissing
14:39without knowing anything about your family
14:42and this underworld.
14:44Lots I don't know yet,
14:46but still, hearing about innocent people getting dragged in,
14:50that's some scary stuff.
14:52I don't blame you for thinking that way.
14:56Got it, Ryu.
14:58Sorry for being all over you.
15:00No, you gotta listen the whole thing.
15:03She's totally getting this wrong.
15:09Where'd she go?
15:11Rare to see the committee chief sprinting in the halls.
15:15Something up?
15:16Not in the school.
15:18Maybe outside?
15:21Found her!
15:23Hey, Ryu.
15:24Class is about to start.
15:26Not now!
15:27Later, I rushed over to Makoto.
15:31Gotcha!
15:32Don't wanna hear it anymore!
15:35No, you gotta listen to the whole thing!
15:38Come on, class is starting!
15:40Screw class!
15:41I'm not all about rules anymore.
15:43I wanna know more about you
15:45and the people you care about.
15:48Does that mean...
15:49We're still students.
15:51Marriage talk don't quite hit me yet.
15:53But I like you as a woman
15:55and wanna cherish you.
15:57Really?
15:59I hate lying.
16:01Oh my god!
16:03I like you so much, Ryu!
16:05Yeah, I like you too!
16:10Then, a few days later,
16:12I decided to formally visit Makoto's place
16:14to talk about our relationship.
16:16Hmm...
16:18I might not fully get this family and its history yet,
16:22but I wanna live with Makoto.
16:25Heh.
16:26So you were thinking about taking over, huh?
16:30Huh?
16:31I'm not looking to hand over the reins to Makoto
16:34or her husband-to-be.
16:36As long as my precious girl
16:38finds happiness with a guy she loves,
16:41that's fine by me.
16:43So, what about this house and the business?
16:46I'll be taking over the business.
16:48I should've filled you in, my bad.
16:51But we got a capable heir here,
16:54so no worries.
16:57Always wanted my kids to live free.
17:00Even your brother had that talk and left.
17:03So?
17:04You'll be the happiest bride ever.
17:07That's all.
17:08Ryu, take care of Makoto.
17:11Man-to-man talk, alright?
17:13Of course!
17:16After that, with Makoto's family issues resolved,
17:20she started mingling more with people.
17:23Turns out, once she started talking,
17:25people saw her differently.
17:27By graduation, she even made some close friends.
17:30We ended up going to the same college.
17:33Now, we're working different jobs,
17:35but keeping our relationship going strong.
17:38And...
17:39Well, see you later!
17:41Let's both nail it at work!
17:43Ugh, that's not enough motivation!
17:46Got a special treat planned for tonight.
17:50Morning treat comes first.
17:52Right, darling?
17:54I-In the middle of the street like this?
17:57Looking forward to tonight.
18:00Geez.
18:02I wasn't even able to sleep thinking about tonight.
18:05But, excited to see how Makoto reacts
18:08when I give her the ring.
18:19Maybe if you watch the next and other videos, too!
