Taiyo, save me!
[chuckles] Can't even protect one woman.
So pathetic.

Mutsumi!
A dream?
Right. I

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
assault 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 gun 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!
