Baby Assassins: Nice Days (2024) Movie Script
1
I found you!
You're it!
Welcome back.
How'd it go?
Need a towel?
I have one.
We're on the last stretch now.
[Tsuyoshi Matsuura]
[Last One]
I'm Scared!
I'm gonna die!
We're having fun!
This is awesome!
Let's go faster!
I'm gonna fall in!
Help! Sharks!
It splashed me in the face.
You saw the shark, didn't you?
There was no shark.
Yes there was!
- Everyone run! Be careful!
- Stop.
Come on.
My eyes hurt. Cancel the hit?
No silly!
What was that?
Hey, feel my hair.
It's frizzy.
It's all sticky.
Cha-cha-cha.
This is the real cha-cha.
I'm beat.
I wanna go home.
At least Mahiro's having fun.
Here comes a wave.
Look at her run away, like a little kid.
Whoa!
I found a huge jellyfish!
I'm beat.
Well, here we are in Miyazaki.
Yeah.
It sure is Miyazaki.
Nice to go on a trip again.
Just to get away from the bustle
of the city and feel the warm breeze.
Remember, we're here on business.
Sure, but our job yesterday
took no time at all.
18 HOURS EARLIER
- Good job.
- You too.
- All done?
- All done.
- That was close.
- Thanks.
I thought I was cooked
when they took my gun.
Yeah, about that.
When you're up against a guy,
you gotta pull in...
Oh, thanks.
Don't just go in head-on.
You've got blood.
You gotta use their momentum,
and pull them in like this.
Fine.
Were you listening to me?
I see how it is.
You think you can handle fistfights...
Oh, thanks... better than me, right?
Hey, did you book our haircuts?
Yeah, I did. Next Sunday.
Thanks.
I thought you were growing it out.
Well, I'm thinking of going for...
How do you say, a lighter look?
I'm thinking about a wolf cut.
The fancy kind.
There's "fancy" and "not fancy".
So I'll probably do that.
Like the 90s style?
Exactly.
And I know you can't go on your own.
Let's talk the whole time
so the stylist won't talk to me.
Get them to seat us together.
Just talk to her.
Snip snip.
So, what do you do on your days off?
Just hang around home.
Oh, you're a homebody.
That's no good. You'll get sick.
I go for barbecue
with my friends all the time.
You're a lousy stylist.
See, there are types like that...
...who find excuses
to talk about themselves.
And when you say something
they go "Uh-huh."
- Uh-huh
- Yeah, just like that.
- It's melting!
- Mango.
Wow, this is nice!
I know right?
What more to say?
What's there to say about trips?
Nice to take a load off.
Yeah, Wanna order food?
No, snacking will ruin your appetite.
Wait for dinner.
Good point.
I've got a reservation
for Miyazaki beef.
Beef?
I can't wait!
We had to work
right after we landed yesterday.
Nothing was open after that.
So let's make up for it.
We're gonna eat till we drop!
Yeah!
Oh, shit.
I totally forgot
today's Mahiro's birthday!
She's gonna be expecting something
at dinner tonight, isn't she?
Waiters bringing a cake?
But she once tweeted,
"If I got a birthday surprise,
"I'd get so embarrassed
I'd shoot myself."
Wait.
But she went all out for my birthday.
But I didn't even get her a present.
I totally forgot.
Shit, shit, shit!
That scared me!
Time for work.
Already?
Time to focus.
Let's get it over with
and back to sightseeing.
Okay.
Open.
Ta-da!
Thanks for coming down.
This was a job for Mr. Hanazome,
Tokyo's top assassin.
But he was sick and couldn't make it.
The client asked
for skilled assassins from Tokyo,
and your names came up.
Cleanup's already booked.
You just have to do the killing.
Target: Tsuyoshi Matsuura.
The client wants him dead
for embezzlement.
He'll be at Miyazaki Prefectoral Office
for the prospect of a fake passport.
It's a day off,
so only cleaning staff
and tourists will be there.
Glad this job doubles as sightseeing.
Wrong.
Sightseeing doubles as the job.
I hear they have good lobster
in Miyazaki.
Really? Better than in Ise?
Ise, that's in Mie, right?
But beef's already on the menu tonight.
Thanks. Maybe next time.
Let's try Ise lobster too.
Yeah.
What?
What?
Who's he?
Help me!
Please don't kill me.
So, uh...
Who are you exactly?
Uhh...
Are you a competitor or something?
So I'm just guessing,
but are you, maybe,
an assassin, too?
I guess we got double-booked then, huh?
Is he with the guild?
No, guess not.
Maybe he's a freelancer.
Don't ruin this.
Excuse me?
Don't ruin this!
I was just about to finish my last job.
Finally made it to 150.
So don't ruin this moment for me!
Oh. Pardon me.
Sorry to bother you.
I understand.
You seem pretty cheesed off.
So we saw nothing
and we'll ask Mr. Susano.
But if we let a freelancer go free,
that'll affect the guild's reputation.
Really? Reputation?
Listen!
Oh, scary.
He's trouble.
Do you have any idea
how long I've been waiting
for this day to come?
Cut the crap!
What a mess, huh?
I got this.
Okay.
You're bleeding really bad.
Wipe it off.
Hurry.
Stop making me run.
Come on! Don't do that to me!
I thought I was dead.
Are you okay?
Let me see.
The target?
He got away when that guy stopped me.
Who is he, anyway?
What's that?
He gave it to me.
I'm supposed to be an assassin,
but I couldn't kill him.
I even accepted his charity.
I don't deserve...
to be an assassin
It doesn't matter now.
At least you're alive.
Really?
Up we go.
Can you stand?
Up we go!
Sorry I left you.
He's back.
Can you move?
Leave me and save yourself.
That doesn't sound like you, Mahiro.
BABY ASSASSINS: NICE DAYS
Chisato Sugimoto and Mahiro Fukagawa.
Uh, yeah. That's us.
How can we help you?
Excuse me!
Gotta get my protein.
No chicken salad.
No chicken steak. What to do?
Two coffees.
Two coffees?
No coffee for me.
Coffee on an empty stomach's
bad for muscles.
Orange juice.
Orange juice? Right away.
One moment.
You just encountered an assassin
named Kaede Fuyumura.
He's a freelancer,
and a loose cannon at that.
A gun and knife expert.
Whoa, he's a freak.
What a string bean.
What?
The guild put out a hit on him.
They're furious a freelancer
stole a target.
And ruined their image to their client.
It was your screw-up,
so you get the hit.
End of story. Any questions?
Wait, us?
Well, actually, we're on vaca...
I mean, a job.
We were gonna finish this job,
then go have a little fun.
After the job's done.
Then we wanted to look around
and head back home...
Typical Gen-Z.
Don't smoke. It's bad for you.
They just don't take responsibility.
Besides,
this never would've happened
if they'd taken him out to begin with.
Did she just tut-tut us?
Kids these days...
They just don't have any pride
as assassins.
What are you muttering about?
Can't say it to our faces?
No sense of honor.
Honor? Like the samurai?
Is that a special?
You play pachinko?
I see.
You wouldn't get it.
Anyway, this is a job.
Wow, this lady's scary!
Kill Kaede Fukumura
before he kills Matsuura,
then kill Matsuura.
Okay?
Don't kill Matsuura first.
The order matters.
Them's the rules.
Let's do it.
I want
To kill Fukumura
What's gotten into you?
I just don't wanna back down.
I'll give it my best shot.
By the way,
we're going to act as a team of four.
What?
With you?
Okay, then I quit.
Too late. You just agreed.
I regret it.
The name's Riku Nanase.
I used to be a bodybuilder.
Did well domestically,
but wasn't big enough
for internationals.
Then I started a business
and that went okay.
Until my friend borrowed 12 million yen.
I lent it, but he never paid back.
Now I'm an assassin.
It's a pleasure.
Minami Iruka.
Let me be clear.
I'm seven years your senior.
This isn't Tokyo.
Don't hold me back.
Best of luck.
We made it.
Is this Fuyumaru's house?
Yes. We already found his address
before we met up with you.
We're competent.
Oh, yeah? I'm impressed.
Oh, wow! You're so good at your job!
We'll catch him in a pincer.
Let's get it done pronto
and end this team.
No guns for me. This is all I need.
No, can't have you charging ahead.
Well, alright. I guess using a gun
would be more merciful.
Listen.
I'll say this once.
You take the front.
We'll go around back.
Point A is midway
between here and that house.
You two get to Point A,
then enter 30 seconds later.
We'll use hand signals. Okay?
Okay.
We got it.
Don't screw this up.
Sync watches to 4 p.m.
Sorry, I don't have a watch.
I mean...
You should've told us we needed one.
People use phones now.
Who wears a watch these days?
Where'd I put my phone?
Oh forget it!
All you have to do
is stay out of my way.
I won't ask more of you!
Worst case,
you could at least be decoys.
Iruka, wait!
Can I kill her?
[DREAMS BECOME GOALS THE CLOSER YOU GET]
[STAGNATION MEANS DECLINE]
[EVERY MURDER IS ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME]
Whoa, this room's a mess!
What is this?
He's ambitious, that's for sure.
He isn't here.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, got a mobile battery?
You just bought one.
Well, I had a mobile
battery problem recently.
Look, you can't just say
you have a problem with everything.
But it is a problem!
Enjoying your chit-chat?
- All clear.
- Ditto.
He isn't here.
Can we go?
Move.
Ugh, really?
A diary?
"My 100th kill should've been perfect
but I wasted bullets."
"Only losers let motivation
and mental health affect performance."
"GRADE C."
Someone could learn from this.
Talk about ambitious.
He'd get along with you.
Fuyumura hasn't come home.
He'll probably come back
to retrieve this diary.
We'll be on standby here for now.
For now? Until when?
Hey, I know!
We'll go look after the target,
Matsuura!
We already got someone hunting him down.
But...
We had dinner plans tonight...
I mean other plans tonight.
Other plans? What do you mean?
You know.
Must I explain everything?
Let's see, how do you put it?
I guess it's a Tokyo expression,
so you wouldn't get it.
It's like...
How do you Miyazaki people say it?
Hey, wait a minute!
You hair's so glossy.
Did you just get it done today?
Don't change the subject!
What was that?
He was hiding out here.
Hey, nice catch.
You see?
My partner's so talented.
You didn't even notice, did you?
If it weren't for us,
you'd be dead by now.
Thank you.
You beat up a thug. So what?
She just crossed the line.
You seem quite fluent in sarcasm.
But you should learn to say
"please" and "thank you" first.
Oh, you wanted a thank you?
Fine. Thank you.
Are all people from Miyazaki like this?
If not, I feel bad for them.
She's ruining my image
of the good citizens of Miyazaki.
Did I ever ask you to come to Miyazaki?
You wanna fix that attitude?
Now, now, now.
Let's all chill out.
How about a quick workout?
Let's do some squats.
Squats, okay? Settle down.
Ow!
Hey, that hurts!
Okay, it's torture time!
Work sucks, but torture's fun.
Yup, let's have some fun!
We'll start with your teeth.
Hold on! Wait a second!
You have to ask me questions first!
Fine, I'll talk!
I'm Tsutomu Hirokawa.
I'm a freelance agent
who gets clients for Fuyumua.
He always calls me after each hit,
but he didn't,
so I came to check on him.
Today was his 150th...
Matsuura, was it?
He was supposed to call me after that.
He's still looking for his last target.
I'll be your bait.
Just please don't kill me.
He spilled everything.
Yeah, but I've already
got an appetite for torture.
So can't we at least rip a nail off?
Appetite? What is this, a curry?
His 150th what?
How come an agent like you is armed?
Well...
He's...
Kaede Fuyumura's a monster.
He'll kill you all!
Like a B-movie villain.
You know,
"Let's get this party started!"
Yeah, it's either that,
or they talk so quietly
you can't hear them.
We'll be quiet.
The guild's put a hit out on Fuyumura.
Whether we take you out with him
depends on your actions.
Understood?
Screw you!
The guild's rotten.
Shut up!
We'll stay the night until Fuyumura
comes back or they find Matsuura.
Sleep in shifts.
- Huh?
- Just like camp, right?
Overnight?
Overnight?
Overnight? Here?
You're joking.
What about the restaurant?
The Miyazaki beef?
The reservation?
This is workplace harassment.
Oh, shit. I'm feeling lightheaded.
Whoa.
"Did nothing today.
Worked out all day."
Which is it?
Hello?
You want him dead?
Got it.
Murderer!
Somebody help!
I'm in here! Help me!
Murderer!
July 2nd.
The client had to deliberate
whether or not to kill the target.
This caused the target
unnecessary panic.
An imperfect job.
I want out.
August 9th.
A college kid got canceled
after posting a video
of picking, eating,
and throwing away strawberries.
Their parents hired me.
To kill all 150 people involved
in the cancellation.
I couldn't understand it one bit.
I couldn't understand but...
He'll do it.
He says he's been waiting
for a job like this.
Thank you very much.
Hello.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Can I get some chopsticks?
Oh, sorry, we're closed now.
August 14th.
My first kill with a gun.
The gun smelled like fireworks.
I played with fireworks once as a kid.
Good times.
Ow!
I tried to kill the second,
but the gun jammed.
I'd bought faulty bullets.
It was a good thing
he didn't fight back.
Otherwise he could've killed me.
Lesson learned.
No buying cheap bullets.
December 2nd.
Dinner is stew.
I made it from white cream.
First stew of the year.
That guy was tough.
I thought I was dead.
I'm getting used to guns.
That's good.
I'll be at 150 soon.
Can't wait.
No fair!
What was that?
They're soggy?
Yum!
But how do we kill 'em?
You mean Fuyumura?
No.
I mean Minami.
How about poison?
Just forget it.
I bet Iruka had a rough childhood.
You know,
with parents and money and such.
Everyone did.
We had to cancel our reservation.
Yeah. You promised and everything.
Promised?
You did. Don't you remember?
Oh, yeah. I did.
You promised we'd go for drinks
after I turned twenty.
I was looking forward to it.
I did, didn't I?
And that's why I haven't been drinking.
Exactly.
No, really.
I didn't forget.
It just slipped my mind.
How's that any different?
Remember when I got shot last summer?
My memory's been hazy since.
Those brothers...
It's midnight.
"It's your birthday."
"Happy birthday."
AI's crazy.
But kinda bleak.
Happy birthday!
Thank you.
Thank you, non-AI human.
Sorry it's here.
It's fine. This is fun in its own way.
Good stuff here.
Like what?
Let's see what we can find.
Look what Fuyumua stashed!
Want one?
No way!
Is that beer?
Yeah. See, look it says "beer".
They're so warm!
I mean, yeah.
My first beer's warm!
I've never seen this brand.
Okay, then.
- Gotta be cool.
- Cool?
- Don't know.
- It's already foaming.
Is that it? Whoa, it smells!
Okay.
- Happy birthday!
- Thank you!
This stuff is nasty!
They found Matsuura. Let's go.
Were you drinking?
I can't believe you!
Can you keep it down?
People are trying to sleep.
Is this where Matsuura's hiding?
Yes, we infiltrate the hotel,
abduct him and lure out Fuyumura.
No gunfights in a hotel.
Let's do this!
Hey, what about me?
Answer my calls in five seconds or die.
Yes, ma'am.
First, pose as guests.
There's a tailor in the basement.
Wear formal clothes.
Formal?
This is formal.
A formal hotel
Was my walk formal enough?
Very formal.
Thanks.
I get one formal point.
No fair! I want formal points, too.
Not on your life.
Those jewels are so sparkly!
Cute with the rope, right?
Hey, cut it out!
Can you take this seriously?
We're heading to Matsuura's room.
Remain on standby.
We'll call if we need you.
So we're on standby, huh?
Tell us sooner.
Well, the four of us together
would've aroused suspicion.
This sure is a fancy hotel.
Peachy keen, Avril Lavigne.
I'd love to stay at a hotel like this.
Not a budget hotel.
But isn't it nice when a budget hotel
has a breakfast buffet
that's better than you expected?
Yeah.
Or they take their curry seriously.
Exactly.
- Miyauchi?
- You scared me!
Why are you here?
Iruka asked me
to look for the target. Matsuura, right?
I was just in Kumamoto,
so it's on the way.
You were looking for Matsuura?
Just hear me out.
Do you know how much
the cleanup crew has to do?
They practically treat us like gofers.
Hey, kinda like that other guy.
The guy who fidgets with a tape measure.
I can't remember his name.
They annoying guy.
It's Tasaka.
You're so mean.
It's Iruka!
Is Tasaka your friend?
He's not my friend.
Guess you could call us cohorts.
Where's Tasaka now?
He slept six hours
in the past three days,
so now he's passed out on the toilet.
I'm so glad I'm not on cleanup.
Well, work is work.
We've gotta give it our all.
Good attitude.
Oh, you flatter me!
Good luck, Iruka!
She's in Iruka's good books.
Wow.
Must be nice
to have communication skills.
Well, I found Matsuura for you.
It's all on you now.
Bye!
Thank you.
Don't look so down.
You'd go crazy if you followed
Iruka's word to the letter.
Shh! She's listening.
Stop that!
- Bzzt!
- The signal!
Look at all the elevators.
Whoa.
Hot Stuff.
What's that?
Uh, nothing.
Think they have barbecue?
It'd be expensive.
20 thousand yen, at least.
20 thousand...
I guess I can take the hit.
What about our set list tomorrow?
Good question.
Let's just match the audience vibes,
Sapphire.
I got this, Ruby.
Is it just me,
or are our cover stories kinda vague?
No more "band" angle.
Stop it. You'll blow out cover.
Okay. Forget it.
I was trying to play along.
It was getting too hard.
Iruka, we found an assassin.
No, not Fuyumaru.
He was going to Matsuura's floor.
Who is he?
How did you catch on?
He walked like he had a gun.
How about you?
A hunch.
He had a co-op card.
Also...
His name's Kasamatsu.
He's a member
of an agricultural co-op assassin team.
Freelancers.
Called "The Farm"
Why would they want to kill Matsuura?
Well I dunno.
Think or die.
Talk or we'll break your arm.
"Hurry I need my bodyguard."
So Matsuura hired Kasamatsu...
That's him, right?
He hired Kasamatsu as a bodyguard.
I see.
This'll be easy.
We'll pretend to be Kasamatsu
and make contact with Matsuura.
I've got this.
I'm a good actor.
I'm Kasamatsu.
Greetings... I mean, hey.
About time.
Hey, you're bigger than I expected.
You look different.
I've been working out.
Why are you doing that bad-guy talk?
And who's the chick?
We're working as a team.
I'll explain later.
Kaese Fuyumura is on his way here.
Let's hurry.
The Farm, was it?
With all these freelance assassins,
this'll get complicated.
I feel like it won't end
at killing Fuyumura.
But they're probably akk chumps.
We can just cap them.
Actually,
the Farm's not too special overall,
but they've got one really tough guy.
Really?
As if Fuyumua wasn't enough.
Hope we don't run into him.
Well, actually...
You have.
What?
Kasamatsu is The Farm's top assassin.
You're kidding...
Kasamatsu broke free!
He's heading your way!
Something wrong?
No everything's fine.
- You're sure?
- Absolutely.
Hey watch where you're going!
Wake up.
We've got a job to do, Tasaka.
Iruka,
cover me.
Cover you?
The name
is Riku Nanase.
I'm the guy who's gonna kick your ass!
Ow. Aerobic exercise
is bad for my muscles.
Nanase, I swear to God...
Use your head for once!
I was, I mean it.
Nice work, you guys.
You sure are pros.
So, who's this guy anyway?
His name's Kasamatsu.
He was after your life.
Wait, but I thought you were Kasamatsu.
- Yeah, we share the same name.
- You do?
We're the same person.
I see.
Out of my way!
Looks like Kasamatsu was acting
as a bodyguard
to hand Matsuura over to Fuyumura.
Fuyumura's got links to The Farm.
So Fuyumura set Kasamatsu up
as a bodyguard. I see.
Yeah, I think I got it!
Wait, Chisato.
Can you explain it to me?
All that matters is that we kill him.
Okay. That makes sense.
What?
You're that girl.
Open fire!
Take this!
Hop on!
Miyazaki isn't a war zone!
Kaede.
That was rough.
I've been worried sick about you.
My lips were sealed.
You told them everything, didn't you?
I heard it all.
I heard it all.
You're kidding, right?
Aren't we going for barbecue today?
Whoa, hold on. Put that down.
Didn't I buy you barbecue?
I answered your late-night calls.
Screw you!
Can't you see how much mental care
I've given you, you murderer?
Ow! You actually shot me!
Fuck!
Fuck!
Fuck!
Hey, look. Zoo.
You're right. Nice.
I wanna go.
Let's go.
I wonder if they have beef.
Miyazaki beef.
Not beef like that.
Good thing he missed your artery.
We've had cases
where we'd have to amputate the limb.
But you're okay.
Good.
Good for you.
But there's something I noticed.
What?
Strength alone can only do so much.
I'll switch to killing mode.
Murderer.
Thank you, thank you.
Fuyumura!
What happened to you?
Was Kasamatsu any help to you?
He's our number-one guy, you know.
Where is he now?
He got in the way. He's dead now.
What?
This is no laughing matter.
I'm not laughing.
Come again?
So,
I've come for a replacement.
I need more allies.
Allies I can trust
to fight alongside me.
Are you kidding me right now?
This is non-sense.
We don't do half-jobs like you do.
We discipline ourselves
to appease the god of harvest.
We all work together as one big family.
And you talk about replacements?
Getting in the way?
Get real!
What?
I'm sorry.
I've always worked alone,
so I don't know how this works.
I apologize if I offended you.
I thought you were a weirdo,
but you could at least get the job done.
Buy now you've crossed the line.
You've gotta be a man
and pay the piper.
Cut the crap!
Oh, come on.
You made the first move.
This is self-defense.
Don't mind me! Kill him!
Avenge the boss!
Wait! Stop!
Please understand.
It's not my fault.
This goes to show, I'm the strongest!
That means you can't kill me!
Let's be allies.
No more senseless death.
No wasted lives.
Do you understand?
Do you get it?
A gunfight in broad daylight?
Clean up'll be tough.
I'm gonna have to do all the work
cause I was on the scene.
I said sorry.
You don't have to listen to him.
We'll take care of the parking lot.
Thanks, Miyauchi.
Bye.
For the love of...
Chi... I mean, Mis. Sugimoto.
I may not be in any position
to say this...
You know how when you eat crab,
the fork has a spoon on the other end?
One is for small meat,
the other for big meat.
I mean, the two have different purposes,
but make one.
Get it?
What do you mean?
You're the only one
who can comfort Mahiro now.
That's what he's saying.
How'd you get it?
Right?
Is that so?
Yeah... well, basically.
Hey.
Huh?
What're you gonna do now?
As you know,
I've got assassins coming after me.
So do you have like, a plan?
This is our secret safe house.
We're coming up with a plan.
Oh, sorry.
Bye.
I don't get paid enough.
How will you get it done back in Tokyo?
Get what done?
Your hair.
Oh, right. I forgot.
I booked an appointment for you.
Sorry.
I think...
Puffy might be nice.
Maybe it's a bit short, though.
What do you think of Mahiro's hair?
Huh?
Would this work?
I think this length
might look good on you.
I get it, but that's pretty bold.
So, about earlier...
You know...
Thanks for saving me after I got shot.
I know I tend to put people off.
I'm not the best at teamwork.
How do I say it?
I haven't been a good colleague.
I'm sorry I called you decoys.
Did you say that?
To be honest,
you know...
Iruka?
It's okay. I should tell them.
What happened?
Back in middle school,
I idolized Ai Haibara.
Ai Haibara?
From "Detective Conan?"
I liked how cool and detached she was.
So through all of middle school,
I tried to be sort of
a lone-wolf type.
Soon enough. No friends.
I was alone.
But through all that.
Ai Haibara was my support,
I couldn't blame her for it.
Anyway,
I was never good with people.
I'm still not.
I get how you feel.
I'm just like you.
Mahiro totally loved L
from "Death Note."
Even sat like him.
Don't tell her that!
She did all his mannerisms, too.
Whatever.
If we're going to kill Fuyumura,
I need your help.
Please, bear with me.
You did it!
Wait, what are you doing?
That was adorable!
Your little face was so cute!
I don't get it.
I'm the older one here, remember!
Bored now.
We were gonna go back...
...if you brought up
"honor" and "pride" again.
But we're professionals.
This was my 124th kill.
I blew him up.
The key was quantity.
Not 100g or 120g of explosives,
but 110g.
My pistol.
A 9mm. Feels right.
A Jericho?
- You know?
- I do. How'd you get it?
- Wanna try?
- Can I?
No I couldn't.
Glad they're getting along now.
Shit!
Can I get a gun, too?
Not in a million years.
You two form a diversion.
We'll use firepower
to take them out from behind.
Roger.
Something on your mind?
What if...
Yeah, we're definitely
gonna kill Fuyumura,
but what if...
I mean, you never know, right?
I'll be waiting on the other side.
So can we still hang out there?
Mahiro,
I won't make that promise.
You won't?
I guess not.
Mahiro, look at me.
I expect better of you.
Okay.
Well, today's
my twentieth birthday.
So I want the priciest
Miyazaki beef in town.
You got it.
I'll spoil you rotten.
Come on.
Roger.
Pass it!
Aw, crap. What do I do?
And that's the intellect of an adult!
Thanks.
Not cute.
Chisato.
Ow!
Well, there's your birthday present.
Chisato?
Done yet?
We're not done yet, idiot!
You might be the toughest person
I've ever met.
Ranking updated.
You're #1.
You rank people?
What a little weirdo.
Oh, you don't?
I've got my top 150.
Who's your #1?
I'm curious.
My #1?
I don't remember the people I've killed.
Who was the most fun?
The most fun?
I'm not sure.
But I have had people tell me
they had fun.
Forgot their names.
They were a pair of brothers.
The younger was a cat lover,
and the older had nasty kicks.
They were tough.
Really tough.
I should've asked for their names.
What's your name?
Mahiro Fukagawa.
Yours?
Kaede Fuyumura.
After every kill,
I'd go home.
I'd clean out my microwave.
Cut up some fruit.
Brush my teeth.
And I'd realise that I'm human.
You have
a partner with you.
I'm jealous.
Here.
This is yours.
You're right.
Chisato, it's over.
Don't do that.
Consider that payback.
Our job's finally over.
It's over.
I'm so happy.
Let's pull it out.
Okay.
Count of three.
Okay? One, two...
No way.
Yeah, just like that!
One, two...
Thanks.
Let's go.
Tonight,
I'm throwing you a birthday party.
Yay!
Can't wait to be spoiled.
Sure thing.
That reminds me
When's my birthday?
Oh, all sorted?
Yeah. All taken care of.
What a relief.
I thought I was dead.
So, barbecue tonight?
How about Kyouchikuen?
Sounds nice.
Well, it's been wild
these past few days.
But in hindsight,
I learned a lot from this experience.
Cheers!
That hits the spot!
That's what you gotta say.
My tongue hurts.
Let me order the meat.
Thanks.
Chicken nanban?
Yeah, get that.
Oh, and iburigakko.
Iburigakko? What's that?
You don't know iburigakko?
Iburigakko's really good.
Yummy iburigakko.
You just like the word.
Is that a bit?
Aren't you gonna commit?
You gotta commit to the bit.
Well, whatever.
I'm 20 now,
so I'll get a handle on that.
You sure about inviting them?
I mean, we're all here anyway.
Welcome.
Ow, ow, ow.
Is the paperwork all done?
Not at all.
But you're leaving tomorrow,
so Iruka wanted to spend time with you.
I never said that.
I just needed a drink, that's all.
Beer, please.
Hey there.
Is Tasaka gonna sit here?
Hey.
Oh. Safe.
What's safe?
Excuse me.
Oh, thank you.
Thanks.
Okay.
I finished the job, thanks to you two.
So, a speech.
From Fukagawa.
Speech!
Wait, what?
Why me?
Cheers!
Cheers!
Hey, listen.
You know the radio show,
"Dear Girl: Stories?"
You hear the Dorian episode?
You don't know the Dorian Field?
I mean it.
You'll clean it up way better than me.
- She squeezed him into the bucket.
- Yeah, you're right.
What's wrong?
I want some tongue.
Here, let me help.
Eat as much as you... Oh, sorry.
There was "Nintama Rantaro"
then "Ojarumaru,"
and "Tensai TV Kun"!
You know?
You know what I mean, right?
You're not that young.
What a killer lineup!
Adults aren't so responsible, huh.
I know.
You said something about
a mobile battery problem.
What was it?
Oh yeah. That.
Hold on.
Just a minute.
But you asked!
Bloodstains.
Happy birthday, Mahiro!
Wow, really?
It was really short notice,
and they don't have
a birthday meal here.
So I went to the pastry shop.
Happy birthday!
Thank you.
Thank god you're alive.
Thank god you're alive, Chisato.
Thank god you're alive.
Are chopsticks okay?
I'll start here.
Yum!
Thank god we're alive!
Thank god we're alive!
Thank god we're alive!
This is good!
I've always wanted to do this.
Can I?
Sure.
Hey!
I found you!
You're it!
Welcome back.
How'd it go?
Need a towel?
I have one.
We're on the last stretch now.
[Tsuyoshi Matsuura]
[Last One]
I'm Scared!
I'm gonna die!
We're having fun!
This is awesome!
Let's go faster!
I'm gonna fall in!
Help! Sharks!
It splashed me in the face.
You saw the shark, didn't you?
There was no shark.
Yes there was!
- Everyone run! Be careful!
- Stop.
Come on.
My eyes hurt. Cancel the hit?
No silly!
What was that?
Hey, feel my hair.
It's frizzy.
It's all sticky.
Cha-cha-cha.
This is the real cha-cha.
I'm beat.
I wanna go home.
At least Mahiro's having fun.
Here comes a wave.
Look at her run away, like a little kid.
Whoa!
I found a huge jellyfish!
I'm beat.
Well, here we are in Miyazaki.
Yeah.
It sure is Miyazaki.
Nice to go on a trip again.
Just to get away from the bustle
of the city and feel the warm breeze.
Remember, we're here on business.
Sure, but our job yesterday
took no time at all.
18 HOURS EARLIER
- Good job.
- You too.
- All done?
- All done.
- That was close.
- Thanks.
I thought I was cooked
when they took my gun.
Yeah, about that.
When you're up against a guy,
you gotta pull in...
Oh, thanks.
Don't just go in head-on.
You've got blood.
You gotta use their momentum,
and pull them in like this.
Fine.
Were you listening to me?
I see how it is.
You think you can handle fistfights...
Oh, thanks... better than me, right?
Hey, did you book our haircuts?
Yeah, I did. Next Sunday.
Thanks.
I thought you were growing it out.
Well, I'm thinking of going for...
How do you say, a lighter look?
I'm thinking about a wolf cut.
The fancy kind.
There's "fancy" and "not fancy".
So I'll probably do that.
Like the 90s style?
Exactly.
And I know you can't go on your own.
Let's talk the whole time
so the stylist won't talk to me.
Get them to seat us together.
Just talk to her.
Snip snip.
So, what do you do on your days off?
Just hang around home.
Oh, you're a homebody.
That's no good. You'll get sick.
I go for barbecue
with my friends all the time.
You're a lousy stylist.
See, there are types like that...
...who find excuses
to talk about themselves.
And when you say something
they go "Uh-huh."
- Uh-huh
- Yeah, just like that.
- It's melting!
- Mango.
Wow, this is nice!
I know right?
What more to say?
What's there to say about trips?
Nice to take a load off.
Yeah, Wanna order food?
No, snacking will ruin your appetite.
Wait for dinner.
Good point.
I've got a reservation
for Miyazaki beef.
Beef?
I can't wait!
We had to work
right after we landed yesterday.
Nothing was open after that.
So let's make up for it.
We're gonna eat till we drop!
Yeah!
Oh, shit.
I totally forgot
today's Mahiro's birthday!
She's gonna be expecting something
at dinner tonight, isn't she?
Waiters bringing a cake?
But she once tweeted,
"If I got a birthday surprise,
"I'd get so embarrassed
I'd shoot myself."
Wait.
But she went all out for my birthday.
But I didn't even get her a present.
I totally forgot.
Shit, shit, shit!
That scared me!
Time for work.
Already?
Time to focus.
Let's get it over with
and back to sightseeing.
Okay.
Open.
Ta-da!
Thanks for coming down.
This was a job for Mr. Hanazome,
Tokyo's top assassin.
But he was sick and couldn't make it.
The client asked
for skilled assassins from Tokyo,
and your names came up.
Cleanup's already booked.
You just have to do the killing.
Target: Tsuyoshi Matsuura.
The client wants him dead
for embezzlement.
He'll be at Miyazaki Prefectoral Office
for the prospect of a fake passport.
It's a day off,
so only cleaning staff
and tourists will be there.
Glad this job doubles as sightseeing.
Wrong.
Sightseeing doubles as the job.
I hear they have good lobster
in Miyazaki.
Really? Better than in Ise?
Ise, that's in Mie, right?
But beef's already on the menu tonight.
Thanks. Maybe next time.
Let's try Ise lobster too.
Yeah.
What?
What?
Who's he?
Help me!
Please don't kill me.
So, uh...
Who are you exactly?
Uhh...
Are you a competitor or something?
So I'm just guessing,
but are you, maybe,
an assassin, too?
I guess we got double-booked then, huh?
Is he with the guild?
No, guess not.
Maybe he's a freelancer.
Don't ruin this.
Excuse me?
Don't ruin this!
I was just about to finish my last job.
Finally made it to 150.
So don't ruin this moment for me!
Oh. Pardon me.
Sorry to bother you.
I understand.
You seem pretty cheesed off.
So we saw nothing
and we'll ask Mr. Susano.
But if we let a freelancer go free,
that'll affect the guild's reputation.
Really? Reputation?
Listen!
Oh, scary.
He's trouble.
Do you have any idea
how long I've been waiting
for this day to come?
Cut the crap!
What a mess, huh?
I got this.
Okay.
You're bleeding really bad.
Wipe it off.
Hurry.
Stop making me run.
Come on! Don't do that to me!
I thought I was dead.
Are you okay?
Let me see.
The target?
He got away when that guy stopped me.
Who is he, anyway?
What's that?
He gave it to me.
I'm supposed to be an assassin,
but I couldn't kill him.
I even accepted his charity.
I don't deserve...
to be an assassin
It doesn't matter now.
At least you're alive.
Really?
Up we go.
Can you stand?
Up we go!
Sorry I left you.
He's back.
Can you move?
Leave me and save yourself.
That doesn't sound like you, Mahiro.
BABY ASSASSINS: NICE DAYS
Chisato Sugimoto and Mahiro Fukagawa.
Uh, yeah. That's us.
How can we help you?
Excuse me!
Gotta get my protein.
No chicken salad.
No chicken steak. What to do?
Two coffees.
Two coffees?
No coffee for me.
Coffee on an empty stomach's
bad for muscles.
Orange juice.
Orange juice? Right away.
One moment.
You just encountered an assassin
named Kaede Fuyumura.
He's a freelancer,
and a loose cannon at that.
A gun and knife expert.
Whoa, he's a freak.
What a string bean.
What?
The guild put out a hit on him.
They're furious a freelancer
stole a target.
And ruined their image to their client.
It was your screw-up,
so you get the hit.
End of story. Any questions?
Wait, us?
Well, actually, we're on vaca...
I mean, a job.
We were gonna finish this job,
then go have a little fun.
After the job's done.
Then we wanted to look around
and head back home...
Typical Gen-Z.
Don't smoke. It's bad for you.
They just don't take responsibility.
Besides,
this never would've happened
if they'd taken him out to begin with.
Did she just tut-tut us?
Kids these days...
They just don't have any pride
as assassins.
What are you muttering about?
Can't say it to our faces?
No sense of honor.
Honor? Like the samurai?
Is that a special?
You play pachinko?
I see.
You wouldn't get it.
Anyway, this is a job.
Wow, this lady's scary!
Kill Kaede Fukumura
before he kills Matsuura,
then kill Matsuura.
Okay?
Don't kill Matsuura first.
The order matters.
Them's the rules.
Let's do it.
I want
To kill Fukumura
What's gotten into you?
I just don't wanna back down.
I'll give it my best shot.
By the way,
we're going to act as a team of four.
What?
With you?
Okay, then I quit.
Too late. You just agreed.
I regret it.
The name's Riku Nanase.
I used to be a bodybuilder.
Did well domestically,
but wasn't big enough
for internationals.
Then I started a business
and that went okay.
Until my friend borrowed 12 million yen.
I lent it, but he never paid back.
Now I'm an assassin.
It's a pleasure.
Minami Iruka.
Let me be clear.
I'm seven years your senior.
This isn't Tokyo.
Don't hold me back.
Best of luck.
We made it.
Is this Fuyumaru's house?
Yes. We already found his address
before we met up with you.
We're competent.
Oh, yeah? I'm impressed.
Oh, wow! You're so good at your job!
We'll catch him in a pincer.
Let's get it done pronto
and end this team.
No guns for me. This is all I need.
No, can't have you charging ahead.
Well, alright. I guess using a gun
would be more merciful.
Listen.
I'll say this once.
You take the front.
We'll go around back.
Point A is midway
between here and that house.
You two get to Point A,
then enter 30 seconds later.
We'll use hand signals. Okay?
Okay.
We got it.
Don't screw this up.
Sync watches to 4 p.m.
Sorry, I don't have a watch.
I mean...
You should've told us we needed one.
People use phones now.
Who wears a watch these days?
Where'd I put my phone?
Oh forget it!
All you have to do
is stay out of my way.
I won't ask more of you!
Worst case,
you could at least be decoys.
Iruka, wait!
Can I kill her?
[DREAMS BECOME GOALS THE CLOSER YOU GET]
[STAGNATION MEANS DECLINE]
[EVERY MURDER IS ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME]
Whoa, this room's a mess!
What is this?
He's ambitious, that's for sure.
He isn't here.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, got a mobile battery?
You just bought one.
Well, I had a mobile
battery problem recently.
Look, you can't just say
you have a problem with everything.
But it is a problem!
Enjoying your chit-chat?
- All clear.
- Ditto.
He isn't here.
Can we go?
Move.
Ugh, really?
A diary?
"My 100th kill should've been perfect
but I wasted bullets."
"Only losers let motivation
and mental health affect performance."
"GRADE C."
Someone could learn from this.
Talk about ambitious.
He'd get along with you.
Fuyumura hasn't come home.
He'll probably come back
to retrieve this diary.
We'll be on standby here for now.
For now? Until when?
Hey, I know!
We'll go look after the target,
Matsuura!
We already got someone hunting him down.
But...
We had dinner plans tonight...
I mean other plans tonight.
Other plans? What do you mean?
You know.
Must I explain everything?
Let's see, how do you put it?
I guess it's a Tokyo expression,
so you wouldn't get it.
It's like...
How do you Miyazaki people say it?
Hey, wait a minute!
You hair's so glossy.
Did you just get it done today?
Don't change the subject!
What was that?
He was hiding out here.
Hey, nice catch.
You see?
My partner's so talented.
You didn't even notice, did you?
If it weren't for us,
you'd be dead by now.
Thank you.
You beat up a thug. So what?
She just crossed the line.
You seem quite fluent in sarcasm.
But you should learn to say
"please" and "thank you" first.
Oh, you wanted a thank you?
Fine. Thank you.
Are all people from Miyazaki like this?
If not, I feel bad for them.
She's ruining my image
of the good citizens of Miyazaki.
Did I ever ask you to come to Miyazaki?
You wanna fix that attitude?
Now, now, now.
Let's all chill out.
How about a quick workout?
Let's do some squats.
Squats, okay? Settle down.
Ow!
Hey, that hurts!
Okay, it's torture time!
Work sucks, but torture's fun.
Yup, let's have some fun!
We'll start with your teeth.
Hold on! Wait a second!
You have to ask me questions first!
Fine, I'll talk!
I'm Tsutomu Hirokawa.
I'm a freelance agent
who gets clients for Fuyumua.
He always calls me after each hit,
but he didn't,
so I came to check on him.
Today was his 150th...
Matsuura, was it?
He was supposed to call me after that.
He's still looking for his last target.
I'll be your bait.
Just please don't kill me.
He spilled everything.
Yeah, but I've already
got an appetite for torture.
So can't we at least rip a nail off?
Appetite? What is this, a curry?
His 150th what?
How come an agent like you is armed?
Well...
He's...
Kaede Fuyumura's a monster.
He'll kill you all!
Like a B-movie villain.
You know,
"Let's get this party started!"
Yeah, it's either that,
or they talk so quietly
you can't hear them.
We'll be quiet.
The guild's put a hit out on Fuyumura.
Whether we take you out with him
depends on your actions.
Understood?
Screw you!
The guild's rotten.
Shut up!
We'll stay the night until Fuyumura
comes back or they find Matsuura.
Sleep in shifts.
- Huh?
- Just like camp, right?
Overnight?
Overnight?
Overnight? Here?
You're joking.
What about the restaurant?
The Miyazaki beef?
The reservation?
This is workplace harassment.
Oh, shit. I'm feeling lightheaded.
Whoa.
"Did nothing today.
Worked out all day."
Which is it?
Hello?
You want him dead?
Got it.
Murderer!
Somebody help!
I'm in here! Help me!
Murderer!
July 2nd.
The client had to deliberate
whether or not to kill the target.
This caused the target
unnecessary panic.
An imperfect job.
I want out.
August 9th.
A college kid got canceled
after posting a video
of picking, eating,
and throwing away strawberries.
Their parents hired me.
To kill all 150 people involved
in the cancellation.
I couldn't understand it one bit.
I couldn't understand but...
He'll do it.
He says he's been waiting
for a job like this.
Thank you very much.
Hello.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Can I get some chopsticks?
Oh, sorry, we're closed now.
August 14th.
My first kill with a gun.
The gun smelled like fireworks.
I played with fireworks once as a kid.
Good times.
Ow!
I tried to kill the second,
but the gun jammed.
I'd bought faulty bullets.
It was a good thing
he didn't fight back.
Otherwise he could've killed me.
Lesson learned.
No buying cheap bullets.
December 2nd.
Dinner is stew.
I made it from white cream.
First stew of the year.
That guy was tough.
I thought I was dead.
I'm getting used to guns.
That's good.
I'll be at 150 soon.
Can't wait.
No fair!
What was that?
They're soggy?
Yum!
But how do we kill 'em?
You mean Fuyumura?
No.
I mean Minami.
How about poison?
Just forget it.
I bet Iruka had a rough childhood.
You know,
with parents and money and such.
Everyone did.
We had to cancel our reservation.
Yeah. You promised and everything.
Promised?
You did. Don't you remember?
Oh, yeah. I did.
You promised we'd go for drinks
after I turned twenty.
I was looking forward to it.
I did, didn't I?
And that's why I haven't been drinking.
Exactly.
No, really.
I didn't forget.
It just slipped my mind.
How's that any different?
Remember when I got shot last summer?
My memory's been hazy since.
Those brothers...
It's midnight.
"It's your birthday."
"Happy birthday."
AI's crazy.
But kinda bleak.
Happy birthday!
Thank you.
Thank you, non-AI human.
Sorry it's here.
It's fine. This is fun in its own way.
Good stuff here.
Like what?
Let's see what we can find.
Look what Fuyumua stashed!
Want one?
No way!
Is that beer?
Yeah. See, look it says "beer".
They're so warm!
I mean, yeah.
My first beer's warm!
I've never seen this brand.
Okay, then.
- Gotta be cool.
- Cool?
- Don't know.
- It's already foaming.
Is that it? Whoa, it smells!
Okay.
- Happy birthday!
- Thank you!
This stuff is nasty!
They found Matsuura. Let's go.
Were you drinking?
I can't believe you!
Can you keep it down?
People are trying to sleep.
Is this where Matsuura's hiding?
Yes, we infiltrate the hotel,
abduct him and lure out Fuyumura.
No gunfights in a hotel.
Let's do this!
Hey, what about me?
Answer my calls in five seconds or die.
Yes, ma'am.
First, pose as guests.
There's a tailor in the basement.
Wear formal clothes.
Formal?
This is formal.
A formal hotel
Was my walk formal enough?
Very formal.
Thanks.
I get one formal point.
No fair! I want formal points, too.
Not on your life.
Those jewels are so sparkly!
Cute with the rope, right?
Hey, cut it out!
Can you take this seriously?
We're heading to Matsuura's room.
Remain on standby.
We'll call if we need you.
So we're on standby, huh?
Tell us sooner.
Well, the four of us together
would've aroused suspicion.
This sure is a fancy hotel.
Peachy keen, Avril Lavigne.
I'd love to stay at a hotel like this.
Not a budget hotel.
But isn't it nice when a budget hotel
has a breakfast buffet
that's better than you expected?
Yeah.
Or they take their curry seriously.
Exactly.
- Miyauchi?
- You scared me!
Why are you here?
Iruka asked me
to look for the target. Matsuura, right?
I was just in Kumamoto,
so it's on the way.
You were looking for Matsuura?
Just hear me out.
Do you know how much
the cleanup crew has to do?
They practically treat us like gofers.
Hey, kinda like that other guy.
The guy who fidgets with a tape measure.
I can't remember his name.
They annoying guy.
It's Tasaka.
You're so mean.
It's Iruka!
Is Tasaka your friend?
He's not my friend.
Guess you could call us cohorts.
Where's Tasaka now?
He slept six hours
in the past three days,
so now he's passed out on the toilet.
I'm so glad I'm not on cleanup.
Well, work is work.
We've gotta give it our all.
Good attitude.
Oh, you flatter me!
Good luck, Iruka!
She's in Iruka's good books.
Wow.
Must be nice
to have communication skills.
Well, I found Matsuura for you.
It's all on you now.
Bye!
Thank you.
Don't look so down.
You'd go crazy if you followed
Iruka's word to the letter.
Shh! She's listening.
Stop that!
- Bzzt!
- The signal!
Look at all the elevators.
Whoa.
Hot Stuff.
What's that?
Uh, nothing.
Think they have barbecue?
It'd be expensive.
20 thousand yen, at least.
20 thousand...
I guess I can take the hit.
What about our set list tomorrow?
Good question.
Let's just match the audience vibes,
Sapphire.
I got this, Ruby.
Is it just me,
or are our cover stories kinda vague?
No more "band" angle.
Stop it. You'll blow out cover.
Okay. Forget it.
I was trying to play along.
It was getting too hard.
Iruka, we found an assassin.
No, not Fuyumaru.
He was going to Matsuura's floor.
Who is he?
How did you catch on?
He walked like he had a gun.
How about you?
A hunch.
He had a co-op card.
Also...
His name's Kasamatsu.
He's a member
of an agricultural co-op assassin team.
Freelancers.
Called "The Farm"
Why would they want to kill Matsuura?
Well I dunno.
Think or die.
Talk or we'll break your arm.
"Hurry I need my bodyguard."
So Matsuura hired Kasamatsu...
That's him, right?
He hired Kasamatsu as a bodyguard.
I see.
This'll be easy.
We'll pretend to be Kasamatsu
and make contact with Matsuura.
I've got this.
I'm a good actor.
I'm Kasamatsu.
Greetings... I mean, hey.
About time.
Hey, you're bigger than I expected.
You look different.
I've been working out.
Why are you doing that bad-guy talk?
And who's the chick?
We're working as a team.
I'll explain later.
Kaese Fuyumura is on his way here.
Let's hurry.
The Farm, was it?
With all these freelance assassins,
this'll get complicated.
I feel like it won't end
at killing Fuyumura.
But they're probably akk chumps.
We can just cap them.
Actually,
the Farm's not too special overall,
but they've got one really tough guy.
Really?
As if Fuyumua wasn't enough.
Hope we don't run into him.
Well, actually...
You have.
What?
Kasamatsu is The Farm's top assassin.
You're kidding...
Kasamatsu broke free!
He's heading your way!
Something wrong?
No everything's fine.
- You're sure?
- Absolutely.
Hey watch where you're going!
Wake up.
We've got a job to do, Tasaka.
Iruka,
cover me.
Cover you?
The name
is Riku Nanase.
I'm the guy who's gonna kick your ass!
Ow. Aerobic exercise
is bad for my muscles.
Nanase, I swear to God...
Use your head for once!
I was, I mean it.
Nice work, you guys.
You sure are pros.
So, who's this guy anyway?
His name's Kasamatsu.
He was after your life.
Wait, but I thought you were Kasamatsu.
- Yeah, we share the same name.
- You do?
We're the same person.
I see.
Out of my way!
Looks like Kasamatsu was acting
as a bodyguard
to hand Matsuura over to Fuyumura.
Fuyumura's got links to The Farm.
So Fuyumura set Kasamatsu up
as a bodyguard. I see.
Yeah, I think I got it!
Wait, Chisato.
Can you explain it to me?
All that matters is that we kill him.
Okay. That makes sense.
What?
You're that girl.
Open fire!
Take this!
Hop on!
Miyazaki isn't a war zone!
Kaede.
That was rough.
I've been worried sick about you.
My lips were sealed.
You told them everything, didn't you?
I heard it all.
I heard it all.
You're kidding, right?
Aren't we going for barbecue today?
Whoa, hold on. Put that down.
Didn't I buy you barbecue?
I answered your late-night calls.
Screw you!
Can't you see how much mental care
I've given you, you murderer?
Ow! You actually shot me!
Fuck!
Fuck!
Fuck!
Hey, look. Zoo.
You're right. Nice.
I wanna go.
Let's go.
I wonder if they have beef.
Miyazaki beef.
Not beef like that.
Good thing he missed your artery.
We've had cases
where we'd have to amputate the limb.
But you're okay.
Good.
Good for you.
But there's something I noticed.
What?
Strength alone can only do so much.
I'll switch to killing mode.
Murderer.
Thank you, thank you.
Fuyumura!
What happened to you?
Was Kasamatsu any help to you?
He's our number-one guy, you know.
Where is he now?
He got in the way. He's dead now.
What?
This is no laughing matter.
I'm not laughing.
Come again?
So,
I've come for a replacement.
I need more allies.
Allies I can trust
to fight alongside me.
Are you kidding me right now?
This is non-sense.
We don't do half-jobs like you do.
We discipline ourselves
to appease the god of harvest.
We all work together as one big family.
And you talk about replacements?
Getting in the way?
Get real!
What?
I'm sorry.
I've always worked alone,
so I don't know how this works.
I apologize if I offended you.
I thought you were a weirdo,
but you could at least get the job done.
Buy now you've crossed the line.
You've gotta be a man
and pay the piper.
Cut the crap!
Oh, come on.
You made the first move.
This is self-defense.
Don't mind me! Kill him!
Avenge the boss!
Wait! Stop!
Please understand.
It's not my fault.
This goes to show, I'm the strongest!
That means you can't kill me!
Let's be allies.
No more senseless death.
No wasted lives.
Do you understand?
Do you get it?
A gunfight in broad daylight?
Clean up'll be tough.
I'm gonna have to do all the work
cause I was on the scene.
I said sorry.
You don't have to listen to him.
We'll take care of the parking lot.
Thanks, Miyauchi.
Bye.
For the love of...
Chi... I mean, Mis. Sugimoto.
I may not be in any position
to say this...
You know how when you eat crab,
the fork has a spoon on the other end?
One is for small meat,
the other for big meat.
I mean, the two have different purposes,
but make one.
Get it?
What do you mean?
You're the only one
who can comfort Mahiro now.
That's what he's saying.
How'd you get it?
Right?
Is that so?
Yeah... well, basically.
Hey.
Huh?
What're you gonna do now?
As you know,
I've got assassins coming after me.
So do you have like, a plan?
This is our secret safe house.
We're coming up with a plan.
Oh, sorry.
Bye.
I don't get paid enough.
How will you get it done back in Tokyo?
Get what done?
Your hair.
Oh, right. I forgot.
I booked an appointment for you.
Sorry.
I think...
Puffy might be nice.
Maybe it's a bit short, though.
What do you think of Mahiro's hair?
Huh?
Would this work?
I think this length
might look good on you.
I get it, but that's pretty bold.
So, about earlier...
You know...
Thanks for saving me after I got shot.
I know I tend to put people off.
I'm not the best at teamwork.
How do I say it?
I haven't been a good colleague.
I'm sorry I called you decoys.
Did you say that?
To be honest,
you know...
Iruka?
It's okay. I should tell them.
What happened?
Back in middle school,
I idolized Ai Haibara.
Ai Haibara?
From "Detective Conan?"
I liked how cool and detached she was.
So through all of middle school,
I tried to be sort of
a lone-wolf type.
Soon enough. No friends.
I was alone.
But through all that.
Ai Haibara was my support,
I couldn't blame her for it.
Anyway,
I was never good with people.
I'm still not.
I get how you feel.
I'm just like you.
Mahiro totally loved L
from "Death Note."
Even sat like him.
Don't tell her that!
She did all his mannerisms, too.
Whatever.
If we're going to kill Fuyumura,
I need your help.
Please, bear with me.
You did it!
Wait, what are you doing?
That was adorable!
Your little face was so cute!
I don't get it.
I'm the older one here, remember!
Bored now.
We were gonna go back...
...if you brought up
"honor" and "pride" again.
But we're professionals.
This was my 124th kill.
I blew him up.
The key was quantity.
Not 100g or 120g of explosives,
but 110g.
My pistol.
A 9mm. Feels right.
A Jericho?
- You know?
- I do. How'd you get it?
- Wanna try?
- Can I?
No I couldn't.
Glad they're getting along now.
Shit!
Can I get a gun, too?
Not in a million years.
You two form a diversion.
We'll use firepower
to take them out from behind.
Roger.
Something on your mind?
What if...
Yeah, we're definitely
gonna kill Fuyumura,
but what if...
I mean, you never know, right?
I'll be waiting on the other side.
So can we still hang out there?
Mahiro,
I won't make that promise.
You won't?
I guess not.
Mahiro, look at me.
I expect better of you.
Okay.
Well, today's
my twentieth birthday.
So I want the priciest
Miyazaki beef in town.
You got it.
I'll spoil you rotten.
Come on.
Roger.
Pass it!
Aw, crap. What do I do?
And that's the intellect of an adult!
Thanks.
Not cute.
Chisato.
Ow!
Well, there's your birthday present.
Chisato?
Done yet?
We're not done yet, idiot!
You might be the toughest person
I've ever met.
Ranking updated.
You're #1.
You rank people?
What a little weirdo.
Oh, you don't?
I've got my top 150.
Who's your #1?
I'm curious.
My #1?
I don't remember the people I've killed.
Who was the most fun?
The most fun?
I'm not sure.
But I have had people tell me
they had fun.
Forgot their names.
They were a pair of brothers.
The younger was a cat lover,
and the older had nasty kicks.
They were tough.
Really tough.
I should've asked for their names.
What's your name?
Mahiro Fukagawa.
Yours?
Kaede Fuyumura.
After every kill,
I'd go home.
I'd clean out my microwave.
Cut up some fruit.
Brush my teeth.
And I'd realise that I'm human.
You have
a partner with you.
I'm jealous.
Here.
This is yours.
You're right.
Chisato, it's over.
Don't do that.
Consider that payback.
Our job's finally over.
It's over.
I'm so happy.
Let's pull it out.
Okay.
Count of three.
Okay? One, two...
No way.
Yeah, just like that!
One, two...
Thanks.
Let's go.
Tonight,
I'm throwing you a birthday party.
Yay!
Can't wait to be spoiled.
Sure thing.
That reminds me
When's my birthday?
Oh, all sorted?
Yeah. All taken care of.
What a relief.
I thought I was dead.
So, barbecue tonight?
How about Kyouchikuen?
Sounds nice.
Well, it's been wild
these past few days.
But in hindsight,
I learned a lot from this experience.
Cheers!
That hits the spot!
That's what you gotta say.
My tongue hurts.
Let me order the meat.
Thanks.
Chicken nanban?
Yeah, get that.
Oh, and iburigakko.
Iburigakko? What's that?
You don't know iburigakko?
Iburigakko's really good.
Yummy iburigakko.
You just like the word.
Is that a bit?
Aren't you gonna commit?
You gotta commit to the bit.
Well, whatever.
I'm 20 now,
so I'll get a handle on that.
You sure about inviting them?
I mean, we're all here anyway.
Welcome.
Ow, ow, ow.
Is the paperwork all done?
Not at all.
But you're leaving tomorrow,
so Iruka wanted to spend time with you.
I never said that.
I just needed a drink, that's all.
Beer, please.
Hey there.
Is Tasaka gonna sit here?
Hey.
Oh. Safe.
What's safe?
Excuse me.
Oh, thank you.
Thanks.
Okay.
I finished the job, thanks to you two.
So, a speech.
From Fukagawa.
Speech!
Wait, what?
Why me?
Cheers!
Cheers!
Hey, listen.
You know the radio show,
"Dear Girl: Stories?"
You hear the Dorian episode?
You don't know the Dorian Field?
I mean it.
You'll clean it up way better than me.
- She squeezed him into the bucket.
- Yeah, you're right.
What's wrong?
I want some tongue.
Here, let me help.
Eat as much as you... Oh, sorry.
There was "Nintama Rantaro"
then "Ojarumaru,"
and "Tensai TV Kun"!
You know?
You know what I mean, right?
You're not that young.
What a killer lineup!
Adults aren't so responsible, huh.
I know.
You said something about
a mobile battery problem.
What was it?
Oh yeah. That.
Hold on.
Just a minute.
But you asked!
Bloodstains.
Happy birthday, Mahiro!
Wow, really?
It was really short notice,
and they don't have
a birthday meal here.
So I went to the pastry shop.
Happy birthday!
Thank you.
Thank god you're alive.
Thank god you're alive, Chisato.
Thank god you're alive.
Are chopsticks okay?
I'll start here.
Yum!
Thank god we're alive!
Thank god we're alive!
Thank god we're alive!
This is good!
I've always wanted to do this.
Can I?
Sure.
Hey!
