01x03 - Feelings

[bunniefuu]

[ominous music playing]

[grunts]

[straining]

Taiyo, save me!

[chuckles] Can't even protect one woman.

So pathetic.

Mutsumi

Mutsumi!

A dream?

Right. I

-Hey, sorry!

-[Goliath growls]

-Owwww!

[Mutsumi exclaims]

Oh, dear.

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

PLAN 3

FEELINGS

Okay! You're all set!

Sorry to bug you this early. Thanks!

I'm the one who should be apologizing.

I'd asked Goliath to stand guard over you

so that Big Bro Kyoichiro wouldn't

as*ault you in your sleep again, but

[Taiyo] She's right.

I wouldn't put it past him.

You know you're not supposed to hurt him!

[groans softly]

M-Mutsumi! Don't do that, or

-[snarls]

-[gasps]

It's all right. Goliath would never

attack the head of the family.

[sighs]

-[growls]

-Whoa!

[Mutsumi giggles]

So? What's this favor

that you want to ask of me?

I want you to make me stronger.

[Futaba] Right, so that's

what this is about, huh?

No worries.

We're planning to train you bit by bit,

to accommodate your ordinariness.

-[Taiyo] That would take too long!

-[Futaba] Hmm?

The other day, it was all I could do

to get Mutsumi out of danger's way.

One false move,

and I might have ended up dead myself.

Even though Mutsumi chose me

thank you for marrying me!

[Taiyo] And also

I want to become strong for Mutsumi!

So

Whoa!

I wouldn't overstep if I were you.

Whoa!

I know my physique's

nothing to write home about,

but I have a talent

for aikido and jujitsu.

I started training at three

and went on my first mission at six.

In other words, even armed with

Yozakura talent, it takes three years.

An ordinary human

would require even more time.

[Taiyo grunts]

If you think that you can get by

on emotion, you're just being naive.

[breath trembling]

That said, the way you feel

so strongly about Mutsumi

I don't want that to go to waste.

The Yozakura-style all-out training

Want to give it a try?

Are you serious?

[Futaba] But there is just one condition.

I want you to live in this mansion

for one month.

Huh? Is that all?

Thanks to our disorderly conduct,

your home got wrecked, after all.

Think of it as a rehearsal,

and just live here. That's all.

Your training will begin

one month from now!

Thank you very much!

[gasps, grunts]

Oh. Sorry about that.

Forgot to mention one thing.

This mansion is rigged all over the place

with traps for spy training.

Meaning that in the Yozakura house,

daily life itself is training.

If you don't master

this beginner-level stuff fast,

all-out training

will only be a pipe dream for you.

First off,

give it all you've got for one month.

[Taiyo] I might end up dead in one day.

-[birds chirping]

-[mechanical bird caws]

Ugh, be quiet.

[exclaims]

[panting, coughing]

[screams] Whoa!

Whoa!

[muttering weakly]

Are you all right?

That woke you up right away, didn't it?

It's to help you get up

in a flash at any time.

I knew it was asking too much

to have you live here.

I'm so worried.

Should we get ready for the funeral?

I was only kidding.

I don't know how you manage

to live here, Mutsumi.

The traps in this house

don't activate for me.

Huh?

If you're accepted by the house, you can

set them not to go off on you, either.

"Accepted by the house"?

[Shion] Right.

All of the traps in this house

are controlled by a computer.

So if you clear them all and get accepted

as a member of the Yozakura family,

you can then turn them on or off at will.

In layman's terms,

it's like getting a god-mode bonus

when you clear all the levels.

When we're injured or it's a hassle,

we keep them off, too.

Even a normal person could clear them

in two years or so, so have at it!

T-Two years?

-[rumbling]

-[groans]

M-My stomach

Always be on the alert.

Meals are also part of your training.

[Nanao] To build up tolerance, everyone's

food except for Big Sis Mutsumi's

is laced with a little poison.

But don't worry!

It's only enough to give you the runs.

[Taiyo] What the heck is that?

Are you kidding me?

[grunting]

[gasps]

I should've known. Damn it!

In order to get inside the bathroom,

you'll need to pick the lock

and crack the password

that refreshes every minute.

Mutsumi, hold up.

But

Hey, how about that

early-morning entertainment? I love it!

Oh!

Morning, Mutsumi!

You're the prettiest thing

in the universe again today!

[Taiyo, in high-pitched voice] Help me!

[Futaba] Shion, go show him how it's done.

Okay.

[Taiyo] And so,

my hellish daily life began.

[mechanical bird caws]

[bird screeches]

[bird squawks]

[bird screams]

[bird caws confusedly]

-[bird yelps]

-[Kengo laughs victoriously]

[Nanao chuckles gleefully]

[screams]

[chuckles]

Mmm!

Oh!

[stammers, screams]

AGILITY

MARKSMANSHIP

POISON TOLERANCE

[groans]

[grunts]

ANALYTICAL ABILITY

[sighs]

[beeps]

[gurgling]

ACCURACY

[boy 1] Asano, are you convulsing?

You okay?

Want some water?

I-I'm okay.

Can't tell them

that the shirt the Yozakuras gave me

is crazy heavy.

Not like they'd believe me

if I did tell them.

I'm about to sink into my desk

BASIC PHYSICAL STRENGTH

I'm exhausted.

Mutsumi

working so late?

[sighs]

Not even close.

Who knew it would be this hard

just to turn on the TV?

All right! One more time.

[Mutsumi] Taiyo?

[Taiyo] Mutsumi.

Why don't you take a little break?

Here. That'll warm you up.

Thanks.

Hey, sorry.

Did I wake you up, by any chance?

No, no.

Taiyo, you're not pushing yourself

too hard, are you?

[coughs]

Huh? Wh-What do you mean?

You don't have to hide it! I can tell!

I'm probably the reason, aren't I?

Hey, no, that's not true.

It's just that I

You're not weak at all, Taiyo.

After all, Taiyo,

ever since back then, you've been

Mo

Oh!

Morning, Taiyo-kun!

Morning, Mutsumi-chan.

We were no more than neighbors then,

and compared to now,

we weren't especially close.

MATRICULATION CEREMONY

The turning point came

when we started junior high.

This curse-like white hair that refused

to submit to any degree of coloring

drew all kinds of looks,

even during our matriculation ceremony.

[girl 1] Yozakura, was it?

What's with that silver streak?

Do you want to stand out?

The color faded, so

Then just color it, you idiot.

It won't take color, no matter what I do.

Oh? Well, in that case

why don't you cut it off?

-[gasps]

-[chuckles] Scary!

H-Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Taiyo-kun! Stop it!

Taiyo-kun! Taiyo-kun!

Taiyo-kun! Do you hear me?

Taiyo!

What's his problem? He's crazy!

[girl 2] Let's get out of here!

[sighs]

[Taiyo] The guidance counselor told me

it was too long, so that was good timing.

Taiyo-kun

[Taiyo] You can call me Taiyo.

I mean, you did just now, didn't you?

Sorry. It slipped out.

If anyone tries to do something

to you again, tell me, okay

Mutsumi.

[gasps]

Okay.

You've been protecting me

all this time. So

try not to push yourself so hard!

[caws]

[grunts softly]

Morning!

[Shinzo] So now you can

hit the power button, huh?

[sighs] But I'm still finding it hard

to change the channel.

You're not holding the grip right.

You should grip it higher.

Then the g*n won't recoil as much.

[Taiyo] Mmm

What's wrong?

[Shion] Hey, so now you can

get the TV to turn on.

-Oh.

-[Taiyo] Big Sis Shion!

Shinzo, here's Taiyo's performance data

that you asked me to analyze.

Thanks.

Both of you, thank you so much.

Um, Big Sis Shion, I've been

wondering about this for a while.

Why does Big Bro Shinzo, uh

Oh. This one's super-lazy and super-shy,

So he spends most of his time

holed up in that garbage-can tank.

What? Big Bro Shinzo, too?

Says the girl who's always

holed up in her own room.

All right, Taiyo. Weren't you going to

ask Nanao how to deal with poisonous gas?

-[Shinzo groans]

-Hey!

Uh, right. I'll be going now!

[Shinzo groaning]

He's got talent, you know.

[Shion] Well, yeah, he sure

isn't advancing at normal speed.

Is it talent

[water spraying]

or something else

Big Sis, this is way too heavy.

You ditched your dishwashing duties

this morning again, right?

This is to make up for that.

I hate who I was this morning.

[Taiyo] One, two One, two

[Nanao] The nerve gas

in this AC flows upward,

so if you crawl away, you'll be just fine.

[Taiyo] Right!

-[Goliath growls]

-[gasps]

Hey, look who I found!

Hey, Taiyo

Come on, keep walking, and look sharp!

[Taiyo] And then

Morning!

[Mutsumi] Morning, Taiyo!

I'm so impressed!

You can just sail down the stairs

and the hallways now, can't you?

Well, I've been here

for three whole weeks.

Hey, Mutsumi, could you pass me the milk?

Sure!

Thanks.

[sighs, gasps]

Gah! It won't open!

Even after staying here for three weeks,

he's hopeless against that door.

Okey-doke, here I come!

I gave him that milk!

-[Nanao] It's not your fault, Big Sis.

-Taiyo!

Hey, look, Mutsumi! It's a rattle!

-That's not gonna work, Shinzo.

-[Shinzo] Rattle, rattle!

-[Kengo] Taiyo?

-Huh?

[panting]

Hey, what's wrong? Get ahold of yourself!

Nanao, get him some medicine right away.

[Nanao] O-Okay!

[gasps]

NANAO

[labored breathing]

[Nanao] It's a fever

brought on by fatigue,

so you'll recover right away

if you stay in bed.

You heard him.

I've already told Mutsumi,

so make sure you rest up.

I-I'm all right.

I'm going to keep living here

for the one remaining week.

[sighs]

In the shape that you're in?

If you keep carrying on like this,

there's no way you'll ever survive.

You were onto me, then?

Right from the start.

There's no achieving extraordinary results

without resorting

to extraordinary measures.

My guess is

Shion's data collection and analysis,

Shinzo's training,

Nanao's medical skills

for treating your injuries,

and giving you drugs so that

you could go without sleep or rest,

and Kengo's fake skin technology

to hide your wounds.

Nanao, to think that you of all people

would take part in a suicide mission

like this. You disappoint me.

[Nanao] I'm sorry, Big Sis Futaba.

It's not their fault.

Hmm?

[grunts] They all tried to stop me,

but I was adamant and pleaded with them.

[exhales]

I told them that I wanted to be able to

protect Mutsumi as soon as possible.

[sighs]

Ow!

Both sisters wield the same chop!

You idiot.

If you can't even take care of yourself,

no way can you take care of someone else.

If you're that anxious to protect Mutsumi,

then you need to understand that enduring,

without taking shortcuts,

is part of your training, too.

ELEMENTARY CODEBREAKING

[Taiyo] What's this?

An old book of mine.

Study it until you've recovered.

Uh, thank you very much, Big Sis Futaba.

[Futaba] Take care.

ELEMENTARY CODEBREAKING

If you think that you can get by

on emotion, you're just being naive.

[chuckles softly]

Looks like I'm the one who's naive.

Normally, if you drove yourself

that close to the brink,

your soul would be destroyed

before your body.

What's keeping that kid going isn't

anything simple like talent or hard work.

It's emotion.

His love for Mutsumi,

which must be close to insanity.

All righty! How do you like that, Mutsumi?

[Mutsumi] Big Sis, you're amazing!

[Futaba] Who knows, that kid just might be

more fit to protect Mutsumi

than I imagined.

I

[all] You did it!

Awesome! You finally managed

to open the bathroom door, too!

That's great, Taiyo! Congratulations!

-Congrats!

-[Goliath growls]

Hey, nice going!

[Nanao] Congrats! Big Bro Taiyo!

[Kyoichiro] Huh.

Tossing him in the air for that?

[Futaba] Can't just be honest

for once, eh?

You guys, thanks a lot!

[Futaba] It's all right.

That's just the special alloy of your ring

reacting to this house's magnetic waves.

It means that you've been acknowledged

as a member of the Yozakura family.

Good work over the past month.

From now on, we'll be training you

vigorously as a Yozakura,

so keep up the good work, Taiyo!

Right!

Taiyo, let's have you get changed

into this 100-kilogram T-shirt right away.

And I'll go ahead and change

the difficulty level of the traps

from normal to very hard.

[Taiyo] What?!

Taiyo, give it all you've got!

-Hang in there!

-[Nanao] That's right!

[Futaba] All right,

everybody, let's get cracking!
