00:00Ugh, it's so cold!
00:03I'm Kouki Kato, just an average high school senior.
00:08But due to certain circumstances, I'm currently living in the park.
00:12What should I do from tomorrow?
00:14Hey!
00:15You there!
00:16Come out!
00:17Huh?
00:18If you're not coming out, then I'll come over there!
00:21I'll do whatever it takes!
00:24Oh no!
00:25Please spare me!
00:27Huh?
00:28That uniform, it's from our school!
00:30Kouki, right?
00:31What are you doing in a place like this?
00:34Uh, Reina!
00:35Why now, of all times?
00:39She's Reina Aoki, the stunning and fearsome leader of the top female gang in Koiwa Town,
00:45known as the I Love You Gang.
00:47Even though we're in the same class, she and I are like residents of different worlds.
00:52But there was a time when I found her walking while injured and trying to tough it out.
00:58Are you okay?
00:59Huh?
01:00Who the hell?
01:01I'm fine with something like this.
01:04Oh, it's Kouki from the same class!
01:07I'm sorry!
01:08Excuse me!
01:09What are you staring at?
01:11I'll take you to the hospital.
01:13That's none of your business!
01:15Stop it!
01:16You might not like it, but please bear with it!
01:18I can't just ignore a girl who's injured!
01:21Oh, a girl you say?
01:24I'm sorry!
01:25I'll apologize as many times as you want later!
01:28So, your name's Kouki, huh?
01:31I'll remember that.
01:33I can feel an intense pressure.
01:36After taking her to the hospital, I got scared and ran away before the treatment was finished.
01:41Since then, I hadn't encountered her again.
01:45I can't believe I'd meet her like this!
01:47So, what are you doing?
01:49What's the deal with a high schooler living in a park?
01:52What do your parents do?
01:54My parents got transferred overseas, so I was going to live on my own.
01:59But when I tried to move into the rented house, someone else was already living there.
02:04Huh?
02:05Yes.
02:06That was a little while ago, when my parents talked about their overseas transfer,
02:11and since I couldn't speak English, I decided to stay in Japan.
02:15I wanted to show them that I could live on my own, even if it was just me.
02:19So, I convinced my parents and started looking for a place by myself.
02:23From viewing to signing the contract, and even transferring money,
02:27everything can be done online, so it should be easy as pie!
02:31At least, that's what I thought.
02:33The key I received was fake, and an unknown person was already living in the new place.
02:38I reported the fraud to the police, but I'm still unsure if I'll get my money back even now.
02:43I couldn't just contact my parents and have them come back after I've shown off!
02:48So please, just overlook it!
02:50A scammer, huh?
02:52Well, there are people with bad intentions everywhere.
02:54But, I can't just let this slide.
02:57No way, what am I supposed to do from now on?
03:02Well, I mean, you could come to my place if you want.
03:06Huh?
03:07Don't misunderstand, it's just that I owe you a favor.
03:10I have a spare room, and I've been thinking about getting a pet recently.
03:14Does that mean she wants to keep me as a pet?
03:17So, if you've decided, then let's go back!
03:20N-no, no! I can't let you do that!
03:23But, what if you catch a cold?
03:26I've already been getting into the habit of greeting the morning alongside the cold playground equipment, so I'll be fine!
03:32Are you saying it's better to sleep in the park than with me?
03:36Yes!
03:37Huh, you've got some guts, huh?
03:40Huh?
03:42You're intending me to avoid repaying my debt to you, don't you? It won't be that easy!
03:47I-I never meant that! Besides, it's not like you owe me that much!
03:52Enough of that, just shut up and come to my place!
03:55Eek!
03:56With no way to resist, I followed her.
03:59Well, just sit wherever.
04:02It's so spacious! Is she actually from a wealthy family, or is it more of a...
04:07Not really, my parents are just regular police officers.
04:11Police officers? If they find out about me, won't they get angry?
04:15It's fine, their work is more important to them than anything related to me.
04:19Huh?
04:20My parents were always dedicated to their work, but lately there's been a big case, so they haven't been home in days.
04:26So, don't worry about it. It doesn't matter whether there's one or two more Koki around.
04:31No, it's just me. But that's not true, you're their precious daughter after all.
04:37If I were a parent, I'd definitely be worried and anxious.
04:42Does that mean... you're seeing me as... a woman?
04:46N-no way! There's no way someone like me could match up with you!
04:51After all, you're the leader of I Love You!
04:54Huh? You love me? Don't embarrass me, jeez!
04:59No, that's not it! I wanted to emphasize that you're the famous leader of the gang!
05:04Ah, I see. I never really intended to become the leader, though.
05:09It seems that Reina becoming the leader of the female gang wasn't entirely her own choice.
05:15Originally, she had a strong sense of justice, couldn't ignore wrongdoing happening in front of her, and would defeat wrongdoers.
05:22However, the people she saved and those around her started looking up to her, and before she knew it, she had become the leader.
05:30Well, I've always kept myself physically fit.
05:33I went to the park because the kids in the neighborhood were scared of some suspicious individuals.
05:38I-I'm sorry.
05:40It's fine. I'll make sure to set them straight, so don't worry about them.
05:46I misunderstood you. I was scared without realizing you're a good person.
05:51I-I don't really care about that. I'm used to it, so you just make yourself at home here.
05:56Thank you! And so, I started going to school from her house.
06:02One thing that changed with this new lifestyle...
06:05Hey, Kouki! Wake up!
06:07Mmm, just a little more...
06:10No way! You have to wake up!
06:12I'm going to eat you!
06:15Ah, finally!
06:17I always think despite being so weak in the morning, you manage not to be late.
06:22Reina! You're so close!
06:24What are you talking about? Hurry up and get breakfast ready!
06:27As part of the rules of living together, we started speaking to each other casually, and then...
06:33You got an omelet, okay?
06:35Understood!
06:36Heat it up well. Grease the pan. Cook with vigor. Got it?
06:40Yes! Every morning, we share the household chores.
06:44Reina is skilled in cooking, and on the days I'm responsible, she helps me and teaches me.
06:50Ouch!
06:51Are you okay?
06:54I'm fine. It seems water from the bottom of the bowl fell and splattered in the oil.
06:59Seriously, you're so careless. Let me do it.
07:03Look, make sure it cools down properly.
07:07In situations like this, speed is crucial.
07:10Yeah, thanks a lot. She's so kind.
07:14On another day...
07:17This horror movie! It's so interesting, right?
07:20Yeah, really. It's fascinating.
07:22Right? Huh? Hey. Hey!
07:26I'm sorry. I'm not good with splatter-type films.
07:30You should have said so. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I'm sorry for not noticing.
07:36No, it's not your fault. I don't want to stop you from enjoying it.
07:40Why's that?
07:43You need to speak up about things that bother you.
07:47If there's anything else you're enduring, don't keep it from me. If you're hiding something, I won't forgive you.
07:52But still...
07:53At the very least, don't hide anything from me. Tell me important things. Understood?
07:59Yes. I never really thought about that before.
08:03So, are you still scared? If you close your eyes, do the images come back?
08:08Huh? Reina...
08:10See? If you're scared, I said I'd let you sleep with me.
08:14What? No, I'm fine. I'm not scared anymore.
08:19I hope you're not lying. Oh, look over there. Isn't that a white figure?
08:26And so the days with Reina continued. I thought this ordinary life would keep on going.
08:32What should I do? I never imagined it would come to this.
08:36Is this the guy our boss picked up?
08:40Dragged along by Reina, I found myself right in the middle of the gang's general assembly.
08:46Yeah, I actually gathered everyone here today for a favor.
08:50Apparently, there are others who were also victimized by the same scammer who fooled Kouki.
08:56So, I want everyone to gather information and help catch them.
09:00Huh? Catch them? It's fine, really. You don't have to do something dangerous like this just for my sake.
09:06It's not just for your sake. I don't want the damages to spread any further.
09:11As the leader who presides over Koiwa Town, I can't turn a blind eye. Can you trust me with this?
09:18Reina is acting to uphold her own principles. And what about me?
09:24Let me join too. I want to help catch the culprit so that we don't have more victims.
09:30Good. We'll catch them together.
09:33Yes!
09:35Afterward, while searching online and asking around, I was doing my own investigation.
09:40Since the other party was a professional, we were having a hard time gathering information.
09:45Given my situation, the best I could do was... train my body so I'm prepared for whatever comes.
09:52Keep it up! You're doing great! Your training seems to be paying off, doesn't it?
09:56Thank you!
09:59At this rate, you should be able to handle this workout too! And that one, and this one!
10:04Reina!
10:05Don't worry! I'll make sure you're all perfectly ripped!
10:09Huh?
10:10And a few hours later...
10:12I-I'm exhausted...
10:14S-sorry! I got carried away! Are you okay?
10:18Y-yeah... Uh-oh, I'm losing consciousness...
10:23A few minutes later...
10:25Huh? Was I sleeping on the bed? But the thing under my head feels softer than the bed...
10:31Aww, Kouki! You're such a hard worker! You're too cute! I'm so lucky to be with you every day!
10:41I'll do anything for you, you know! Ka-u-ki!
10:45Oh no, I can't wake up! What should I do?
10:48We're home!
10:50Mom? Dad?
10:52Huh?
10:53Reina, who's that guy?
10:55Kouki is my-
10:57What do you think you're trying to make me say? Don't put on that fatherly expression after being away for so long!
11:02Um, Reina...
11:04Were you awake, by the way?
11:06I-I'm sorry! Um, my name is Kouki Kato, a classmate of Reina's!
11:11Actually, I've been wanting to say this...
11:14As I explained the situation, it turned out that the incident Reina's parents were investigating was the scam that I had fallen victim to.
11:22They had spoken to a different person at the reception, which is why they hadn't realized it was related.
11:27Please, stop trying to catch the criminal! You're still just kids!
11:32We're doing what we can to protect this town in our own way!
11:35That's exactly why you're kids!
11:38What's with all this child talk? Only bringing up being parents at times like this! You're not interested in me at all!
11:48Reina, the conversation isn't over!
11:51Shut up!
11:53Um, I'll go after her.
11:55I apologize if Reina caused you any trouble.
11:59It's not a trouble at all. Reina was the one who helped me when I was in trouble.
12:04Reina is a really good kid. She doesn't deserve to hear that from us, who made her feel lonely.
12:10Yes, Reina is truly admired by everyone. Even though she might say otherwise, I'm sure your feelings are getting through to her.
12:18Thank you.
12:21Well then, I'll go catch up!
12:23Short while later.
12:25She's not here. I wonder where Reina went.
12:28Hey, where's our boss? Aren't you two together?
12:32Everyone, I'm looking for her right now too.
12:35So, did she charge in there alone?
12:38What do you mean?
12:39According to the members, a little while ago, they had found the scammer's hideout and called Reina.
12:45However, she apparently said she was fine alone, and the call got cut off, so they lost contact.
12:51Even though we told her there are dangerous people lurking behind her. We need to get there right away!
12:57In that case, I'll go alone!
12:59Huh? We can definitely be of help!
13:02I think Reina went alone because she didn't want anyone else to get hurt.
13:06But...
13:07I'm a guy, so I should be able to handle a few obstacles. In return, I have a request for all of you!
13:15A few minutes later.
13:17Are you the one who tricked Kouki and everyone in the town? You're coming with me right now!
13:22Coming with you, huh? You think you can take us on alone, little miss?
13:27For someone who deceives others, I'm more than enough by myself.
13:31Hmm? I wonder how many of us are here on this side.
13:37Don't get near Reina!
13:39Huh?
13:40Kouki? Why are you here?
13:42Everyone told me about it. It's going to be okay now!
13:46Huh! So it turns out you're just another one of the suckers we conned before! What can you do by yourself?
13:53D-don't underestimate me just because I'm a kid!
13:56Oh?
13:57Those who deceive honest people to take advantage of them should face the consequences that come with it!
14:03What are you babbling about?
14:06This is business. It's not something a kid should stick their nose into.
14:12I-I will never forgive you!
14:15Hmph! Looks like I need to give these brats a harsh dose of reality!
14:21Don't move!
14:22Huh?
14:24Alright, that's enough.
14:26You've got some nerve to lay a hand on my daughter!
14:29Dad? Mom? Boss? Are you okay? And you girls?
14:35Huh? Why are there cops?
14:37I asked the team members to contact the police.
14:40I know I'm just a kid, but that's exactly why knowing who to seek help from is important.
14:46Y-you...
14:48Well, let's head to the station and hear the details.
14:51W-what are you talking about? I'm not involved in anything!
14:55Don't worry, we have plenty of evidence.
14:58Ah!
14:59For the guys behind you too, right?
15:02Ah! No, please!
15:05Honestly, you had us so worried!
15:08Don't take unnecessary risks.
15:10Reina, you are our precious daughter, you know?
15:15Mom! Dad!
15:17Phew, that's a relief!
15:20The power of family, it's incredible!
15:24And all of you! Thank you, and also...
15:28Thank you, Kouki!
15:31I didn't do anything special.
15:33That's not true. You're always the one who stops me when I'm rushing in headfirst.
15:38Even when we first met, I couldn't bring myself to ask anyone for help because I didn't want to show my weak side.
15:45I thought no one would come to my aid, even if I did ask.
15:49Reina...
15:51But it was different, wasn't it?
15:53When I finally spoke up, everyone was there to help me.
15:56And it was Kouki who made me realize that.
15:59Yet, here I am, about to make the same mistake again.
16:02I'm sorry.
16:04And thank you again, Kouki.
16:06The one who should be saying thanks is me.
16:09So, I guess it's a mutual exchange, right?
16:12So, you know, you need me too, right, Kouki?
16:15Of course! Wait, you mean... could it be?
16:19Ah! I love you so much, Kouki!
16:22Will you stay by my side from now on?
16:24Yes, I love you too, Reina.
16:28Afterwards, the scammer and their gang were officially arrested.
16:32It seemed they had committed various other crimes besides fraud.
16:36With the help of Reina's parents, I explained the situation to my parents.
16:40We stopped living together, and I started living alone in a new home without any issues.
16:45Even after the move, Reina often came to visit, and she retired as the gang leader upon graduation.
16:51And now, after a few years passed...
16:55Reina and I became police officers, and today we are celebrating our wedding.
17:00If you make Reina cry, you'll have to deal with us.
17:03Remember that when I become your superior!
17:06I know, I know.
17:08Reina has now become the rising star of the investigative headquarters.
17:12Everyone on the team looks up to her, and they've all just graduated from the police academy this year.
17:17Oh, Reina!
17:19Thank you all for coming!
17:21Reina! You look incredibly beautiful!
17:24Well, maybe?
17:26This is perfect for undercover missions.
17:29Don't mess up, okay? Make sure to stay in character.
17:33Huh? Wait, this isn't an investigation, right?
17:36Reina?
17:37Who knows?
17:39You mean, this is really an investigation?
17:43I'll explain properly.
17:45Actually...
17:47Just kidding!
17:48Of course, it's not an investigation!
17:52I'm not letting anyone interfere with our wedding, Kouki, my darling!
17:55Reina!
17:57With her becoming a talented investigator, it seems my heart will remain captured by her for a lifetime.
