{Chapter Cover Art: Memori and Yuuki, looking really cool. I swear.}
[P5]
(The figure of a man in the scene, and a pair of feet. Looks like a fight.)
Boy: I’m taking her back, Kurokawa Eiji-san. I’ve already searched everything about you.
Kurokawa: Uu…!
Boy: Quit it and give up. You were dumped. Stop going after her.
Kurokawa: What the—? Are you trying to pick a fight with m—kkk…!! (groans as his face is stepped on)
(Here the figure of the young man who stepped on Kurokawa is seen, and he’s holding a girl in his arms)
Boy: How dangerous. I only want to protect her.
Kurokawa: Y…you…who the hell are you?
(Shows the close-up of the young man with the girl.)
Boy: I’m her…bodyguard?
[P6]
(Shot of an office building)
This is the Fujieda Bodyguard Office.
Shaking dangerous grounds, they are the allies of lost sheep, the dispatchment office of the bodyguards of love and justice…
…At least, that’s what they’re supposed to be, but…
(Shot of the same young man in the earlier scene, this time wearing glasses)
Man: Kyahahaha…so? Since that stalker tried to harm that girl, this time he was the one who was chased? Is that right?
Memori: Ken-nii, can I quit this job?
[Sign plate: Fujieda BG Office Signboard bodyguard, Fujieda Memori]
Man: Are you nuts?! Your idol face is the key to this company’s money! Why, just recently those host-looking bodyguards have become hot!!!
[Sign plate: Fujieda BG Office Chairman, Fujieda Kenjuu]
Memori: What a troublesome company. Don’t make it a pattern! Besides, I’m a student.
Woman: Ara…but Memori-kun, you protect clients like they were your own girlfriend, don’t you? It’s a bodyguard’s mirror.*heart*
[Sign plate: Office Employee, Koutari Himiko]
Memori: Well that’s…if I think they’ll support my income, there’s this switch that suddenly clicks inside my head…
[P7]
Memori: Ken-nii, the least you can do is increase the bodyguards around here. With this much, I don’t even have time for school.
Kenjuu: Time for school? You think it’s that easy? It’s not like people line up for this kind of job!
Kenjuu: Even at the last moment, laying one’s life on the line for the sake of a stranger…
Kenjuu: Like I’ll definitely never EVER do that, but—
(Himiko hits Kenjuu with a…folder? Or maybe a clipboard?)
Himiko: Ken-kun, even if you think that, don’t say it.
Himiko: But I get your point, Memori-kun. Since you’re alone, it’s a bit lonely, ne?
Memori: Eh?
Kenjuu: Ouch, Himiko.
Kenjuu: I’m not going to hire anyone who isn’t up to Memori’s level.
Memori: If that’s the case, then even if I wait a hundred years, you’re never gonna find anyone. (Leaves.)
Kenjuu: That kid…he’s too overconfident. He resembles someone…
Himiko: …Isn’t it you, Ken-kun? But it’s surprising. He’s the one who always says getting along with people or something is troublesome.
Himiko: That kid…for him to say something like wanting a companion…
[P8]
Memori: …Really. Saying something so freely… I can hear you, Himiko-san.
Memori: I just want to take it easy sometimes.
Memori: It’s not that I want a companion…
(Memori jumps from the Fujieda office floor to the street. Impressive. But apparently he practiced a lot. Anyway, a blonde-haired young man saw him right from the onset.)
[P9]
Boy: Oniichan, kacchoi~! (Clapping)
Boy: Wow, you…do you come from this office? (He means the Fujieda BG Office)
Memori: Damn…someone was around.
Memori: Well…yeah.
Boy: Someone as young as you is already working as a bodyguard? How old are you, anyway?
Memori: …Eh? …19.
Boy: Older than me by a year, huh? You look young.
Boy: Mm, I wonder if I can also be one—
Memori: It’s not an easy a job as you might think.
Memori: What the—? This guy…
Boy: Maybe, but…I’m stronger than you, and I’m tough.
Memori: (irritated) It’s not just about strength!
Boy: Ahh, I’m sorry!
Boy: I’m just looking for a job that pays well, and I thought, how about here?
[P10]
Memori: We definitely don’t need someone like you!!
Memori: Well, our office tricks people, and the pay is bad.
(Memori walks away and heads for a bridge, but the boy follows after him)
Boy: …Ah, wait!
Memori: Don’t follow me!
(But of course the boy follows him. They pass by a girl as they walk and as the boy talked)
Boy: Since before, I’ve always wanted to be a bodyguard.
Boy: My body strength is my strongest point, so a job that requires using the body fits me well.
Memori: Then get a job as a stunt man!
Memori: I’m telling you now, a bodyguard’s job is not only about strength—
(At this point, Memori sees the girl they passed earlier climbing the iron bars of the bridge, and is now on the verge of jumping)
Memori: Eeh?!?
[P11]
(Memori catches the girl right before she falls off the bridge, buut…)
[P12]
(The boy catches Memori’s hand just in time before they fall)
Boy: Hey! You all right?
Boy: I’ll pull you up right now, okay?
(The boy manages to pull the both of them up.)
Memori: To be able to carry the weight of two people…he’s strong, all right…
Boy: …So? Care to admit it now?
Memori: Well, for something like this…fine.
Boy: Che.
[P13]
(Somewhere a bit far off from the bridge, looks like. Maybe a park? There are trees, anyway. Memori and the boy wait for the girl to regain consciousness.)
Boy: You okay?
Girl: Ah…eh? I…
Boy: Good, good, Miss. You made us nervous out there.
Memori: (to the girl) You…can you listen to me a second here?
Memori: YOU IDIOT! Don’t commit suicide by jumping like that so suddenly! And on a pedestrian bridge!! If I weren’t passing by, what do you think would have happened?! It might be okay for you, but I’m gonna have memories that can give me a heart attack! Think about the people around you!
(Nice shot of a very angry Memori)
Boy: I helped too!
(Silence)
Girl: Um…bridge? Jumping…? Suicide…?
Girl: Sorry...what are you talking about?
Memori: N…
Memori: You don’t remember?
Girl: …No.
[P14]
Boy: An accident…? When you looked below from here, you were surprised or something?
Memori: No, that…I was so sure…
Girl: I…I…
Girl: Maybe I was so tired that…I lost consciousness…I wonder…
Girl: If I remember correctly, I was on my way to the Fujieda BG Office, since I was thinking of asking for help…
Girl: The truth is that I’m being targeted…
Girl: I was thinking of asking for a bodyguard—
[Sign plate on Memori: Switch ON sound]
(Memori transforms from meanie to nice guy in seconds. He’s taken off his glasses, too.)
Memori: Sorry it’s a little late, but…I’m Fujieda BG Office’s Fujieda Memori, 19 years old. Now is a good time. (Hands the girl a business card)
Boy: He’s lost it.
[P15]
(The boy has snatched the business card, apparently, and is now looking at it)
Boy: Fu~n. Memori-chan, huh? You didn’t change at all. So Fujieda’s your surname, huh? You’re not just an underling, then.
Memori: My job starts from here on. You can go home already. Don’t call me ~chan!
Boy: Hey, didn’t I help you?
Boy: If I weren’t around, you would’ve been in a fair amount of trouble, don’t you think?
Memori: What are you trying to say?
Boy: I want you to hire me.
Memori: Are you trying to make a deal with me?
Boy: No, that wasn’t what I was planning, but…
Boy: Give me a test.
Boy: I’ll be your support while you protect this girl.
Boy: Then after, if you think I can be of use to you, then hire me.
[P16]
Boy: How about that?
Memori: Really, having a companion I can rely on wouldn’t be so bad.
Memori: And it’s true that we’re short-handed…
Memori: And when I saw him, he didn’t really seem like he’s just all talk…
Memori: (Fujieda way of thinking) His face is okay, so Ken-nii would be happy to have another money-making tool…and then if he turns out to be no good, we can always throw him away…
Memori: …Okay.
Boy: Yes!
Memori: BUT!
Memori: There’s no time, so we’ll have your interview together with the test as we go on with this job.
Memori: First of all, why don’t you tell me your name?
Boy: Yuuki Shin.
Yuuki: Nice to meet you, Memori-san.
[P17]
(Shot of a fairly large, traditional-looking Japanese house. Or estate. Maybe.)
Memori: Umm…Kiriyuu Noe-san…this is your house, right?
Noe: Yes.
Memori: What a wonderful castle, Princess.
Memori: Feels like a rich place…excellent.
(There are stars around Memori. It’s the fact that his client has money that turns him on. The nut.)
Noe: …Huh?
Yuuki: This guy…I think his screw got loosened earlier.
Yuuki: What a weird person…what should I do?
Noe: I’m…this mansion’s dead Master’s adopted daughter. My parents died when I was very young, and since I have no other relatives, he took me in his care.
Memori: And that thing about you being targeted?
Noe: Um…that…
Old Woman: Ara, Noe-san.
Noe: Ah…Auntie Shizue.
(Shot of a middle-aged woman.)
Shizue: Welcome home. And those people are…?
[P18]
Noe: Uh…um…
Memori: Hello, it’s so nice to meet you. I’m Noe-san’s boyfriend, Fujieda. [Habitual line]
Noe: Weird bodyguard.
Yuuki: Actually, this guy’s screw got loosened and he broke down earlier, but deep down, he’s a serious person. [Follow-through]
Memori: And just what part of me broke down, huh?!? Can’t you see I’m working my butt off here?!?
Yuuki: Well, you’ve got your working priorities mistaken! Her boyfriend? What the hell is that?!?
Noe: My…my friends!
Shizue: Well I guess that’s fine. More importantly, how was the city? You didn’t get into an accident, I wonder?
Noe: Um, no.
Shizue: Oh…nothing happened. That’s good.
Shizue: It would be bad if something happened to you…after all, the gift my brother has given you would become nothing…
Memori: …
[P19]
Noe: Sorry…my room is a bit small, but please come in.
Yuuki: (whispered) Small? Compared to what?
(Yep, I agree. It’s a fairly big room, with a sofa and maybe a big bed…)
Memori: (whispered) Shut up.
Noe: My real room is in the second house, but there was a fire, so…
Memori: Fire?
Noe: I think it was arson…
Memori: Uh…and the lady earlier?
Noe: She’s the Master’s younger sister.
Yuuki: You don’t seem to get along with that woman.
Yuuki: How to put it…I feel a strange aura from that lady.
Memori: Didn’t I tell you to shut up?
Memori: Sorry for being rude, but…”Gift from my brother” is…?
Noe: Inheritance. This land, including all the property were all transferred over to my name, and because of that…
Memori: Everything!
Noe: Father…and his wife before him as well really doted upon me, loved me…
[P20]
Noe: Auntie…because I was just adopted, she couldn’t accept that I was going to get everything, so she got angry…
Memori: And it’s because of this inheritance that you’re being targeted, right?
Noe: I don’t have any proof…
Noe: But I’ll never forget the look on Auntie’s face when she set eyes upon the will…
Noe: Since that day, strange things have begun to happen.
Noe: I don’t want to think about it, but if I die, this inheritance will all go to Auntie.
Noe: I’m scared, but…this much, it’s also sad…
(Memori looks at Noe with a bit of sadness in his eyes…but then the sound of something breaks the moment. None other than…)
[P21]
Yuuki: Ah—
(A shot of Yuuki holding a grocery bag, and a bag of…chips besides.)
Memori: What are you doing?
Yuuki: Ah, well, earlier I had the impulse to go grocery shopping.
Yuuki: Since we went this far, as a sign of our growing closeness, let’s hold a banquet!
Memori: A banquet?!?
Yuuki: In times like this, when all we’re thinking about are bad things, to make up for that, we should make some noise with our companions!
Yuuki: Noe-san, you’re lucky I’m here today!
Yuuki: Because a bodyguard’s job is not only to protect.
Memori: This guy…
Memori: I thought he was just an insensitive jerk, but…
Memori: You haven’t even been hired for real yet and already you’re this impudent.
[P22]
Memori: …He might be a good person.
(Shot of the three of them. Yuuki and Noe are sitting on the floor, together with the scattered contents of Yuuki’s grocery bag. Uptight Memori is standing)
Memori: You nut!! You think the Miss would eat something like surume??? (Surume are dried squid innards~ew)
Noe: I like surume.
Yuuki: Memori-chan, you’re so uptight.
Memori: Don’t call me ~chan!
***
(Later shot. Noe is sleeping, and Memori and Yuuki are sitting on a large sofa, talking)
Memori: Yuuki, you really saved me earlier.
Yuuki? Heh?
Memori: No…the truth is that other than protecting, I can’t do much else.
Memori: I don’t really understand it…the mental part of all this. Like honesty. Like, if you just say a few words, it would be fine…
Yuuki: That so?
Yuuki: On that pedestrian bridge, you were great, though.
Yuuki: If you can save a person during a desperate situation, isn’t that enough?
(YxM Moment…not)
Memori: Ah…yeah. Let’s have your interview part 2 here.
Yuuki: Fuhaha…what is that, a quiz?
Memori: Why do you want to be a bodyguard?
Yuuki: Ooh…a fast one right off the bat, eh?
Yuuki: Unn. I don’t know if this is an incentive, but…
Yuuki: When I was very young
Yuuki: My parents were killed.
Memori: Wha…
Yuuki: Right in front of me
Yuuki: I couldn’t do anything
Yuuki: It was horrible.
Yuuki: Even now I can’t forget it…the feeling at that time.
Yuuki: I didn’t want to be weak. I wanted to be—
Memori: Stop.
(Memori was really taken by Yuuki’s story, which makes you wonder…)
[P23]
Memori: Sorry…you can stop now.
Yuuki: That’s why…
Yuuki: It’s not that I’m trying to make up for it, but…
Yuuki: Un…
Yuuki: Something like that…
Memori: People might not be how they seem on the outside
Memori: Even if he’s a guy who laughs foolishly
Memori: He’s carrying this heavy burden on his shoulders.
Memori: That’s why he wants to protect.
Yuuki: Did I pass?
Memori: Ba~ka. Are you nuts?
Memori: There’s something that bothers me about this case.
Yuuki: What’s that?
Memori: That thing on the bridge earlier.
Memori: Any way you look at it, she seemed to have been jumping on her own.
Memori: But Noe-san said she doesn’t remember anything.
Memori: And earlier, the lady asked Noe-san, “You didn’t get into an accident?” Or so I heard.
Memori: And in the house where Noe-san lives, a fire occurred…
Memori: If that’s the case, then something might happen here as well…
Yuuki: What is it?
Memori: This room…has 3 clocks.
Yuuki: So?
Memori: Well, there’s one you can see, the wall clock. And that one right there, the alarm clock.
Memori: And another one
Memori: This sound
Memori: Where is it coming from?
[P24]
(Shots of different places around the room. Memori, and maybe Yuuki as well, are searching for the source of the odd sound…and found a digital clock-like thing in a teddy bear.)
[Big Letters: TIME BOMB]
Memori: …This one…
[P25]
Memori: Only 40 seconds! Just how long has this been here??
Memori: Why of all places is it here?!
Memori: Does she intend to blow up her own house? If she did that… But more importantly…!!
Memori: What do I do?? It’s not like I take along bomb-dismantling equipment or something of that sort with me…
Memori: Just how strong is this bomb?
Memori: Eh—!? (Yuuki took the bomb from him)
Yuuki: We should throw this out somewhere far away quickly.
Memori: W…wait! That…I’ll—
Yuuki: No, that won’t be good.
[P26]
Yuuki: I’ll let you protect Noe-san.
Yuuki: It’s a job, right?
Memori: Ah…Yuuki!
(Shot of Yuuki jumping out from the window of the room, and running off somewhere)
Memori: …You…idiot…
Memori: …I’m the…idiot…
Memori: Why is it that all the time…on the essential parts, I’m useless…
Memori: I can sense it, from far away…that loud, exploding sound…
Memori: It’s just my imagination, just my imagination, just my imagination…
(Shot of Memori sitting on the floor, with his hands closed over his ears. Yuuki sits across from him, and examines him. Cute little scene.)
Yuuki: …
Yuuki: …Memori-chan?
Memori: Wah!! GYAAAAAAAAAAAA~!
(Shot of Memori freaking out. Immensely. Priceless.)
[P28]
Memori:…Ah.
Memori: I’LL KILL YOU TEMEEEE! Y…YOU IDIOT! Don’t surprise me like that!
Yuuki: I’m the one surprised! I’M the one surprised!
Memori: …A-re?
Memori: You…why are you alive?
Yuuki: There’s a river nearby, so I threw it there.
Memori: Oh…right.
Yuuki: That, in all honesty, was dangerous. Hey, why were you covering your ears earlier?
Memori: …
Memori: …trying to do?
Memori: That teddy bear you were holding had a bomb on its head that was about to explode!
Memori: There was a sound of you and that bear blasting off together! I heard it all!
(…And imagined it as well. This is a funny little picture of Yuuki and the teddy bear “blasting off” together. Indeed.)
Yuuki: Ahahaha! And then? Did you cry?
Memori: Who, ME? You idiot.
Memori: I…
Yuuki: I’m glad you’re my companion.
Memori: I’m sensitive when it comes to people’s deaths.
Memori: If this is cowardly, I don’t really want to know, but…
Memori: Stop laughing. No one decided that you were my companion just yet.
[P29]
Memori: If this guy will be my companion, I guess it’s all right…that’s what I thought.
***
Yuuki: Noe-san, it’s morning~!
Noe: Y…yes!
Yuuki: Ahahaha…good morning!
Yuuki: The househelp said she’ll be making you breakfast. Even with all that racket last night, you fell asleep so soundly, that's really something...
Memori: Yuuki.
Yuuki: Nn?
Memori: I’m gonna help out in making breakfast.
Memori: I want to catch her doing something.
Memori: Like yesterday’s bomb.
Memori: Just how many times has she tried to kill this girl enough to put a bomb in her own house?
Memori: Even knowing that this house itself is worth a lot of money.
Memori: And something like a bomb…she’s just an old lady.
(Shot of Memori hiding in a corner, watching and listening to the househelp and Shizue talk)
Househelp: Ara, Shizue-san, didn’t I say I’ll do that?
[P30]
Shizue: It’s fine. I’ll take this to them. I want to greet our guests, too.
Househelp: Is that so?
(Of course Memori follows Shizue to the kitchen, and sees her taking out a salt shaker of sorts. Poison?)
Memori: …A secret ingredient, eh?
Shizue: Y…you!
Memori: I didn’t think you’d get out of here with your tail between your legs so suddenly.
Shizue: What are you talking about, I wonder?
Memori: Just give me a little time. If you have this much courage, please hand over that thing in your hand.
(Because Shizue was trying to hide the shaker thing in her hand)
[P31]
Memori: Up to now, the one who has been targeting Noe-san was you, wasn’t it?
Shizue: Yes. She’s an obstacle, that girl!
Memori: You want to be a murderer for the sake of money, is that it?
Shizue: And what about you? Didn’t you get close to that girl to get money?
Memori: …I’m just doing my job.
Memori: I’m here to protect that person.
Memori: That’s why I’m not going to let what you’re thinking happen.
Memori: But there’s something that bothers me here.
Memori: Did you know that something was going to happen to Noe-san when she went to the city?
Shizue: Oh, that…
[P32]
Shizue: I had her put under hypnosis.
Memori: Hypnosis? You?
Shizue: No. I hired someone.
Shizue: The deal was when she reaches the front of Fujieda BG Office, and when she sees Fujieda Memori, she has to run back and dive on top of a car in the bridge.
Memori: Fujieda office…?
Memori: Why?
Shizue: Don’t ask me. I don’t know that much.
Memori: So you asked someone?!?
Shizue: I left the killing method to someone else.
Memori: Killing…method?!
Shizue: Since he hasn’t killed her yet, I lost my patience.
Shizue: Well, anyway…
Shizue: He’ll kill you for me as well.
Memori: …
Memori: …You hired a killer…
Shizue: Yes. He’s just somewhere around here. Over there for sure, I think.
Memori: That guy…where is he?!?
Shizue: Oh, didn’t you notice? Since yesterday he’s always been inside this house.
[P34]
(A shot of Noe looking out the window, and then a few shots of…a pair of hands preparing his killing instrument? After that, a gun being pointed at a…blonde head! Aha!)
Memori: A bomb, and then strangulation, huh. This has become greatly plain (really dull?)
Memori: ANSWER ME.
Memori: WHO ARE YOU?
[P35]
Yuuki: IS THAT…
Yuuki: Interview part 3?
(Nice shot, yey. Evil-looking Yuuki. Full page, whee.)
[P36]
Memori: I was deceived. I wonder…why didn’t I notice that blood thirst earlier?
Yuuki: I’m…hiding my blood thirst? Isn’t that my gun? I packed it in my bag.
Memori: …From the very beginning, this was what you had planned?
Yuuki: …Something like that. I’m just doing my job, too.
Memori: A killer’s…
Memori: …job...?
Yuuki: Good answer.
(And Yuuki starts to run, knife in hand, towards his target. But Memori is quick to jump in front of him, and…)
[P37]
(...Memori pulls the trigger, aiming at Yuuki but Yuuki dodges in time)
Yuuki: Oops.
Yuuki: That trigger is a bit lighter than I thought.
Yuuki: I thought you don’t kill people.
Memori: Don’t underestimate me.
Memori: I’m also doing my job.
Memori: I’ll do anything for the sake of my client.
(Shot of Memori, with Noe behind him)
[P38]
Yuuki: …So you say.
(Yuuki edges closer until…he is right in front of Memori’s face. And holds Memori by the throat. And starts saying weird things, ahhhh…not.)
Yuuki: You’re shaking.
Yuuki: Do I scare you?
(Yuuki knees Memori in the stomach. Ouch.)
Noe: Memori-san!
Memori: Damn! …You think I’m scared of you?
[P39]
(A slightly bruised Memori, but still cute. That knee in the stomach got to him, so he’s down for the moment whilst Yuuki is standing above him…aha…not in the way you think. Yuuki is standing and looking down at him.)
Memori: Rather, you make my blood boil! (In what way?)
Yuuki: Games and cheating accompany a bodyguard on the job, right?
Memori: Why did you go to the point of coming closer to me just for this…?
Yuuki: I heard that there was someone near my age who was an excellent bodyguard, and…let’s just say I got a little interested.
Yuuki: I kill.
Yuuki: You protect.
Yuuki: Fantastic game, isn’t it?
Memori: …Everything was a lie, then? The fact that you wanted to be a bodyguard? That misleading bomb-carrying running person as well…
Yuuki: There’s no way a killer can become a bodyguard.
Memori: …And your parents being killed? That too?
Yuuki: …Oh…I made that up.
[P40]
Yuuki: I mean, isn’t that your story?
(This makes Memori angry, and he stands up and aims the gun at Yuuki…)
Memori: T…TEMEEE!
[P41]
(…The sound of incoming cars outside interrupt the little game.)
Yuuki: —A car…
Yuuki: Did you call someone?
Memori: That old lady tried to put poison in the food, so I reported it.
Memori: And in the middle of that, I also contacted the office.
Yuuki: Damn. That old lady tried to kill her too? How stupid. What did she hire me for?
Yuuki: Well then, it’s a bit useless for me to stay here longer, and since my client has been captured, the contract is over, so— (bag shot, and apparently Yuuki is ready to…)
Memori: W…wait, you! If you’re trying to run away…
Yuuki: I’ll be very happy if you’ll take me into your care, but I’m also very busy…
Yuuki: But…hey, I want to know the result of my bodyguard test!
[P42]
(Shot of Memori’s irritated face as he announces…)
Memori: You fail. Horribly.
(Shot of Yuuki hanging like a monkey by the window, ready to escape)
Yuuki: A-re? Damn.
Yuuki: But it was interesting, Memori-chan. Let’s play again sometime!
(And Yuuki disappears, leaving a trail of flying leaves behind him. Hah.)
[P43]
(Later scene, right in front of the house. The police has captured Shizue, even as she still tries to deny everything she has been doing. Too late.)
Noe: Memori-san…
Memori: Ah…
Noe: Thank you very much for all your help.
Noe: I can live here without worries now. But…Yuuki-san…what…?
Memori: Please forget about him.
Memori: That’s the most important thing.
(Memori’s face, and a shot of Kenjuu waiting by a car…to pick Memori up, obviously.)
Memori: Ken-nii!
Kenjuu: Yo.
Kenjuu: Good work. Don’t you think that’s an achievement? You got a rich client.
Kenjuu: A-re? By the way, what happened to that new recruit?
Kenjuu: You told me so on the phone…you found a guy with guts, and you said you were gonna introduce him to me. Right?
Memori: …I said something like that?
Kenjuu: Yeah, you did! A young-un?
Memori: Ken-nii.
Kenjuu: Nna?
Memori: I…
Memori: Don’t need a companion anymore.
Kenjuu: Nn…is that so?
Memori: Let’s go home.
Kenjuu: Nn…okay, gotcha.
And so the curtains of the game is raised.
