00:00Man, I look so out of place in this.
00:04My name's Leo Sato, I'm 26 and work at Koiwa Confectionary, a traditional Japanese
00:10sweets company.
00:11Oh, not at all, you look quite dashing.
00:16You think so?
00:17Like a pig all dolled up in pearls.
00:20Psh, hey, you weren't trying to compliment me at all!
00:24And that's Reina Ito, she's our maid and technically my personal assistant.
00:30My dad suddenly tells me to attend a party, I'm a confectioner, not a socialite.
00:35Before being a confectioner, you're the heir to Koiwa Confectionary, you need some social
00:41experience as the future CEO.
00:44Yeah, but still.
00:47Stop whining and go flirt with a couple of beauties.
00:49Alright, off you go.
00:52Whoa, okay, okay, stop pushing!
00:56A few minutes later.
00:57I feel so out of place, I want to go home.
01:01Oh my, if it isn't Leo Sato from Koiwa Confectionary.
01:08That voice!
01:09You!
01:10Ann Sasaki from Tokimeki Foods!
01:13What are you doing here?
01:14Excuse me, my family's the top dog in the pastry industry.
01:20Of course I got invited.
01:22Great, just my luck to run into her.
01:25What are you glaring at?
01:27I didn't want to see your face either.
01:30Ann Sasaki is the daughter of the CEO of Tokimeki Foods, our rival company.
01:35Our families don't get along, and our products, Japanese sweets and pastries, are like oil
01:41and water.
01:42We've crossed paths a few times over the years, making us mortal enemies.
01:47That outfit doesn't suit you at all.
01:50Shut up, I know that already.
01:54How about me?
01:55Ta-da!
01:56Look at this.
02:00She always looks good, except her personality sucks.
02:04Miss Ann, it's almost time to leave.
02:06Good job, Raito.
02:08Is it that late already?
02:10If we don't hurry, you'll miss your curfew.
02:13Oh no, that's a disaster.
02:17Curfew?
02:18We're the same age, right?
02:20Guess that's how it is for rich girls.
02:22Well, I'm off.
02:23Try to enjoy yourself.
02:24Though I doubt you'll find a dance partner.
02:28Ugh, you always gotta have the last word.
02:33A few days later, I was summoned by my father, the president.
02:38Our company's performance has been declining due to rising costs of raw materials and transportation.
02:44Yeah, I get it.
02:46So why the sudden talk?
02:48Well, to save our company, we're forming an alliance with another company.
02:54Okay.
02:56The condition is for you to marry their daughter.
02:58That's a political marriage!
03:00No way!
03:01Please understand, it's for the company's future!
03:04I'm begging you!
03:06Ugh, I couldn't refuse, so I had to accept the arranged marriage.
03:13A few days later, when I arrived at the meeting place.
03:16Ugh, why are you here?
03:19I should be asking you that!
03:21No way, is the alliance with her company?
03:24Are we in that much trouble?
03:26I can't believe I'm gonna be engaged to you!
03:30No way!
03:31Absolutely not!
03:32I don't want this either, but I gotta think about my family's reputation.
03:38With the parents' blessings, the engagement was quickly settled.
03:42They even prepared a new house for us, thinking it would be necessary.
03:46I am Raito Mira, Miss Anne's servant.
03:49Pleased to meet you.
03:50We'll take care of your needs.
03:53If you try anything funny, you won't get away with it!
03:59Like I would!
04:01Thinking about our parents and the company, we had no choice but to move in together,
04:05under the condition that our servants would come too.
04:09A few days after moving in.
04:10Ugh.
04:11Ugh.
04:12This is beyond awkward.
04:16The servants are out dealing with the moving stuff.
04:19Uh?
04:22Was that your stomach?
04:23So?
04:24What if it was?
04:25I haven't eaten anything since morning.
04:28I didn't say anything bad.
04:30I guess I should cook something.
04:33I'm hungry too.
04:36Ten minutes later.
04:37Here.
04:38It's simple, but done.
04:39Wow.
04:40You're pretty good at this.
04:44Of course.
04:45Now eat before it gets cold.
04:46Ugh.
04:47There's no poison in this, right?
04:49If you don't want it, I'll eat it.
04:51I'll eat it!
04:52I'll eat it!
04:53Mmm.
04:54It's good.
04:55Did you use chocolate as a secret ingredient?
04:59You could tell.
05:00I only used a bit.
05:02Of course.
05:04I'm confident in my taste buds and my knowledge of sweets.
05:08Heh.
05:09Interesting.
05:10Maybe she's more talented than I thought.
05:14After cleaning up, we went shopping.
05:16We had run out of food in the fridge.
05:19You could have stayed home, you know?
05:21You need someone to carry the bags.
05:23I'll repay my debt quickly.
05:25Debt, huh?
05:27Can you even carry stuff, princess?
05:29I hate to admit it, but I've never carried anything heavier than this.
05:33Anything heavier than chopsticks?
05:35Useless.
05:37An hour later.
05:39After shopping and paying, we stepped outside.
05:42Hey, cutie!
05:44Excuse me?
05:46Do you know who I am?
05:48Wanna hang out somewhere?
05:50Ah!
05:51Don't get too familiar with me!
05:53Jeez.
05:54What is she doing?
05:56Hey, back off.
05:58She's my fiancé.
06:00Oh yeah?
06:01What's your problem?
06:03Leo?
06:04Wait.
06:05You're quite hotter than I expected.
06:09You're from our company, aren't you?
06:11Oh shoot!
06:12The heir!
06:14That's Charao Yabasugi.
06:16I've seen him at the factory.
06:17Terrible work attitude.
06:19I didn't know she was with you.
06:21Sorry!
06:23Hey!
06:24I'm not done yet!
06:25Ugh.
06:26Writing your parents coattails.
06:28How do you get a fiancé like her?
06:30You alright?
06:32Yeah.
06:33Be careful, okay?
06:35You're beautiful after all.
06:39A few days later.
06:40Ann wanted to have dinner outside.
06:42This is delicious.
06:44You should try it.
06:46Alright, alright.
06:47I'll eat it myself.
06:49Don't be shy.
06:51Here comes the plane.
06:53Ugh.
06:54Uhhhh.
06:56What's with her?
06:58She's been acting weird lately.
07:01Well.
07:02Isn't it Ann from Tokimeki Foods?
07:04What a coincidence.
07:06Having dinner?
07:07Ugh.
07:08President Yami from Yami Trading.
07:11Looks like you have a lot of free time, Miss Eris.
07:14Who's this guy?
07:16He looks like trouble interrupting our dinner.
07:19Thank you for always helping out my father.
07:22Please continue to support our company.
07:24Haha.
07:25You're a well-mannered young lady.
07:27Of course.
07:28We'll keep doing business.
07:30Well, I'll be off now.
07:32What a fake smile.
07:34She's really good at this.
07:36What's with that look?
07:38Bet you're thinking I'm pathetic, huh?
07:41Huh?
07:42Bowing to people I don't even like.
07:45I know it's pathetic.
07:47But all I can do is smile beside my father.
07:50Nah.
07:51I think you're pretty amazing.
07:53Huh?
07:54I've been going to parties lately too.
07:56I get how tough and important networking is.
08:00Remembering annoying faces and being charming for the company.
08:03I couldn't do it.
08:05Honestly, I respect you, Anne.
08:07What?
08:09Flattery won't get you anywhere.
08:13After that, Anne started acting strange.
08:16You must be tired from work.
08:18Want a massage?
08:20Whoa.
08:21You're too close.
08:23Don't be shy.
08:25Something's definitely touching me.
08:27And she smells really nice.
08:30Another day.
08:31Leo.
08:32Let's sleep together.
08:34Whoa.
08:35What are you doing?
08:36Don't you know?
08:38Married couples share a bed.
08:40We're not married yet.
08:42My, my.
08:44You two are quite cozy.
08:46Uh, Reina.
08:48This is...
08:49Hmm.
08:50If that's the case, we'll step out for a bit.
08:53All right-o.
08:54You're so considerate.
08:56As expected of my attendant.
08:58Someone listen to me!
09:00Lately, Anne's been totally different from before.
09:04During lunch break, she came all the way to the office with lunch.
09:08I made you a homemade lunch.
09:10Reina helped, too, but...
09:12Wow, thanks.
09:14It looks delicious.
09:15Wait, no.
09:16How did you get in here?
09:18Huh?
09:19Oh, they just let me in.
09:21What's up with our security?
09:23Sometimes, she waits for me to finish work.
09:27Good job today.
09:28Let's go home together.
09:30You've been waiting all this time?
09:32Didn't you know?
09:34I'm actually pretty dedicated.
09:36Oh, really?
09:38Well, she seems happy, so I guess it's fine.
09:42I don't mind it either.
09:44Ugh.
09:45They're always lovey-dovey.
09:47It pisses me off.
09:49Oh, I've got an idea.
09:52But a month into living together,
09:54our company, Koiwa Confectionary, faced a crisis.
09:57One of our employees intentionally put bugs in the products
10:01and posted it on social media,
10:03causing a huge scandal.
10:05The employee's name is Charao Yabasugi.
10:08He used a fake account,
10:10but his face was accidentally caught in some photos,
10:12so we identified him.
10:14Charao...
10:15That guy from before...
10:18We fired him and apologized to our customers,
10:21but there's no hope of recovering sales.
10:24So, we're really going under?
10:26Bankruptcy.
10:28It's inevitable.
10:29Our partnership with Tokimeki Foods is also over.
10:32No way!
10:34I'm sorry, but you'll have to tell her
10:36about the engagement being called off.
10:39Well, we were both against it anyway.
10:42After getting home.
10:45So, the engagement's off.
10:47You're free now.
10:49No!
10:50Don't leave me!
10:52What?
10:53Leave?
10:55Sorry for being such a jerk, but...
10:57I...
10:58I like you, Leo.
11:01It started when you saved me from that creep.
11:04But the more time we spent together,
11:06the more I realized all these amazing things about you.
11:10I don't want to be apart.
11:11I want to stay with you.
11:13I appreciate your feelings,
11:15but there's no reason to keep the engagement.
11:18I'm not good enough for you.
11:20You're worried about the company, right?
11:23Yeah, but...
11:25Then let's rebuild it together.
11:27Koiwa Confectionary, the two of us.
11:31She's cute.
11:32I never knew she could make that face.
11:35So, we started researching new sweets.
11:38Of course, to save the company.
11:41Let's try making pastries.
11:43We need to try something new.
11:45What are you talking about?
11:47We only make traditional Japanese sweets.
11:49We gotta stick with sweets using Anko.
11:52Cream-filled pastries.
11:54No way! Anko!
11:56Ugh!
11:58You two never change.
12:01Why not mix them together?
12:03That's it!
12:05But progress was slow.
12:08Another failure.
12:09How can we get the taste just right?
12:12Aren't you rushing it?
12:13This is still good.
12:15This won't do.
12:16I'm the CEO's son and a craftsman.
12:19I need to make something better.
12:21Leo?
12:23Don't shoulder it all yourself.
12:25We decided to do this together, right?
12:29Am I falling for her?
12:31She smells so sweet, like cream.
12:34Anne really loves sweets, huh?
12:37I got it!
12:38Anne, I need your help!
12:40What is it?
12:41Lend me your taste buds.
12:43I can make something even better with your sense of taste.
12:46Are you asking for a kiss?
12:50No, not that!
12:52You've got a great sense of taste, right?
12:54So...
12:55Oh, I see.
12:58But for you, I'd be happy to help.
13:02From then on, we worked together on prototypes every day.
13:06How's this taste?
13:09Maybe a bit sweeter?
13:11Really?
13:12This is tough.
13:13Try this, Queen.
13:15Taste it.
13:16O-okay.
13:18How is it?
13:19Sweet, right?
13:20Yeah, it's sweet.
13:24What's with this vibe?
13:26It's making my heart race.
13:28Even though things got awkward at times.
13:31A few days later.
13:33We did it!
13:34I call it Angel's Anko Donut!
13:37I see!
13:38A perfect blend of east and west.
13:41Anko and fresh cream together.
13:44Mmm, yum!
13:46This is definitely gonna be a hit.
13:48I know someone who runs a restaurant.
13:50Let me talk to them about carrying this.
13:53The new product was a hit, and Koewa Confectionary's sales started to recover.
13:58The collab with the famous coffee shop really boosted our popularity.
14:02Man, I'm so relieved.
14:05I gotta thank Anne for this.
14:07But one day...
14:09Mr. Leo!
14:10Take a look at this!
14:12What the...
14:14This is terrible.
14:16Who would do something like this?
14:18This post...
14:19It's got details only an employee would know.
14:22Who could have done this?
14:24Actually, I bet I know exactly who.
14:28A few nights later.
14:31So it was you all along.
14:33What the...
14:34Why are you here?
14:36I figured you'd show up eventually, so I've been secretly watching.
14:40What were you planning to mess with this time?
14:44Tell me why you're doing this.
14:46Really? Isn't it obvious?
14:48You fired me! Now I'm broke and struggling!
14:52That's your own fault!
14:53If you hadn't done what you did...
14:55Shut up, you stuck-up rich guy!
14:58You don't know what I've been through!
14:59I've hated your guts from the start!
15:03Leo!
15:04Wha... Anne!
15:05Why are you here?
15:06I told you to wait!
15:08I was worried.
15:10You wouldn't tell me what you were doing.
15:12Shoot, I didn't want to drag her into this.
15:14But now she's all anxious because of me.
15:18Hey!
15:19I know you're the daughter of the president of Tokimeki Foods, right?
15:23Yeah?
15:24So what?
15:25Why don't you ditch this loser and go out with me instead?
15:29What on earth are you saying?
15:33No way!
15:34Leo's the only one for me.
15:36What?
15:37Leo might be a bit blunt, but he's really kind.
15:41He always praises me.
15:43He's surprisingly buff and he even smells like sweet uncle.
15:47I love him!
15:49Wait, what?
15:50You're making me blush!
15:52Did Anne really think that much about me?
15:55Whatever!
15:57Rich girls are all the same.
15:59You're clueless.
16:00Take this!
16:01Anne!
16:04Leo!
16:05You protected me.
16:07It's fine.
16:08I'm okay.
16:09Jeez, you're always in my way.
16:12Hey, Chato, right?
16:14Let me tell you something.
16:16What?
16:17You gonna apologize?
16:19If you so much as touch my girl,
16:21you're dead meat!
16:23Leo!
16:25Are you serious?
16:26How lame.
16:27I'm out of here for now.
16:30Oh?
16:31Where do you think you're going?
16:33We've got all the evidence of your slander.
16:36I can't wait to see how much you'll owe us in damages.
16:40What?
16:41There's no way you have evidence.
16:43We use some special connections to track your IP address.
16:47Also...
16:49Did you just try to hit the young lady?
16:52Meek!
16:53Let's have a little chat elsewhere.
16:56I'd love to tell you all about how wonderful she is.
17:00No, please!
17:02Someone help me!
17:05Raito's pretty scary when he's mad.
17:08Really?
17:09He's always so nice to me.
17:11After the trial,
17:12Chato ended up owing us a huge amount in damages.
17:16Now, he's living in extreme poverty.
17:20Soon, Koiwa Confectionary's business bounced back,
17:23and Anne and I got engaged again.
17:25Our parents are happy for us, too.
17:27I know it's late, but I love you, Anne.
17:30Please marry me.
17:32Took you long enough.
17:34You'll have to try harder than that to get me to marry you.
17:37What?
17:38No way!
17:40Make it up to me with something even sweeter?
17:43Wait, what?
17:44It's funny how hard it is to see the good in someone at first,
17:48but once you do, you can never look away again.
17:55THE END
