Kill Blue (2026) s01e04 Episode Script
Oshaburi Kettou
Mitsuoka!
Noren!
Wait up!
Tell us more
about what you said back there!
Wait!
Looks like we managed to lose them.
All right, now.
Why?
Sorry!
The club activity I was really looking
forward to got totally wrecked
and before I knew it, all my
built-up stress completely exploded.
I know I messed up.
Sorry.
But hey, Juzo, doesn't this
technically mean mission accomplished?
The hell it does!
Marrying a kid
the same age as my daughter?
I'd rather die!
But please! I know it's selfish
but could you pretend
to be my boyfriend for a while?
Huh?
Look, if people think
I already have a boyfriend,
then stuff like what just happened
should calm down a little!
Please!
Fine.
But this is
strictly pretend, got it?
THE PACIFIER DUEL
SATURDAY, MAY 2nd
Hey!
Go buy us some bread!
Oh, so this is how it goes.
You listening to me or what?!
From now on, you either run errands
for us every day,
or you back off from Noren Mitsuoka.
Pick one.
What kind of choice is that?
Don't let him get away!
Beating them down would be easy
but I'm not about to do something that
childish and get myself suspended over it.
Hey!
- We're on the third floor!
What the
My apologies.
Did you hear?
Those two are apparently going out!
Yeah, and because of that,
a bunch of guys have it out for him.
Yikes!
Poor guy.
I said I'd do it
as long as it was just pretend,
but is this really what
it's gonna be like the whole time?
What a pain!
Rough day, Oga?
- Huh?
Is it true you're dating Noren?
Takada and Baba
Seriously, though, nice job
getting away from those guys!
You were watching?
And all you did was watch?
I mean, what were we supposed to do?
Go get a teacher or something!
It felt like you would handle it somehow.
And you did, so what's the problem?
Hey!
Though
honestly, it could get
way worse from here.
Huh?
Our school's a pretty famous
mega-school, y'know.
There are high-spec guys
all over the place.
And not just that.
Among the upper crust,
there's an especially scary group of them
called the "Unicorns."
They've got the looks,
the personality, the whole package.
And on top of that, every single one
of them has top-tier talent,
and crazy charisma
in some field or another.
Rumor is, all of them
are after Noren, too.
So, chances are,
they'll come after you sooner or later!
And when that happens
Well, good luck!
Hey!
You really oughta quit, don't you think?
This "fake boyfriend" thing, I mean.
Huh?
Boss
you've got no intention
of marrying Noren, right?
Obviously not!
Then there's no reason to keep this up.
I do feel bad for her, but
And I've got one more
annoying update for you.
What?
It's about Mitsuoka Pharmaceuticals' wasp
research and their antiaging drug.
Apparently, the underworld
is after that secret, too.
But they can't just take it
with threats or brute force.
So, there's talk
that other organizations might send in
elite middle schooler operatives
to go undercover.
All with the aim of becoming
Noren Mitsuoka's future husband.
Meaning from here on out,
she's basically gonna be fought over
by top-tier guys
from both sides of society.
Unicorns, assassin agents, the whole deal.
Boss, you planning
to throw your hat in that ring, too?
Huh?
Yeah, so, you don't have to pretend
to be my boyfriend anymore.
Looks like it's causing you
a ton of trouble. Sorry.
Yeah, but then
I mean, this is really something
I should deal with myself anyway.
I'll stop showing up at Home Ec Club.
But hey, you should
still come by for ramen.
I might vent to you
once in a while, though.
Oh! On a date? Perfect timing!
Quit running away already, Ogami.
Nobody's okay with this, y'know.
A gloomy loser like you
being her boyfriend?
He's not my boyfriend anymore!
Can you quit this stupid crap already?
Huh? Really?
Then go out with me!
What? No, thanks!
Nobody asked you
to barge in here, so go to hell!
Oh! Look, I'm not messing around!
I'm strong, okay? I can protect you!
I didn't ask! So, back off already!
Aw, don't be so cold!
No. We're still together.
So, keep your hands off my girl.
Now get lost.
Huh?
- The hell?
Wait, what? You're marrying her?
Like hell I am!
We're just keeping the act going!
Still, why, though?
No reason.
What?
If I had to say, it's because
every damn kid keeps going,
"No, don't," "It's fine," all the time!
And us old guys?
We're stubborn, that's why.
Instead of letting kids worry about me,
I'll be a meddling pain in the ass.
I don't care who. If they're bad news,
I'll swat every last one of 'em away!
What're you muttering about?
I spar with grown men at the gym.
Think about who you're mouthing off to
before you try acting cool!
I'm not saying I totally disagree with
the whole "men should protect women" thing,
but for now
maybe you should spend
a little more time training.
Ogami?
Ogami, um
All right. I'll keep playing
boyfriend a little longer.
I don't wanna eat good ramen and then
have to listen to you complain afterward.
Thanks.
But, um
that "Keep your hands off my girl" line
Sorry, but wow, that was a huge turnoff.
No middle schooler talks like that.
So
that's Noren Mitsuoka and her boyfriend.
Though, with those moves, he kind of seems
like he might be in the same line of work.
He may be tougher than I expected
as a romantic rival on this job.
Impressive.
At your age, and with skills that sharp.
You're a once-in-a-generation talent
for our organization.
Thanks.
Now for your next assignment.
Infiltrate Noren Mitsuoka's middle school
and become her fiancé.
I'm counting on you
Baby-Face Baby.
Hey, Ogami
Aren't you, like, secretly super strong?
Huh?
No way.
I've never been in a fight in my life.
Really?
Because the guy you scared off
the other day looked pretty tough to me.
That was just a fluke, or,
I dunno, for all he looked the part
he was basically normal.
"Normal"?
So, that means you do know
what "not normal" is like?
No, I mean, I don't know.
The boss is getting grilled
by a middle schooler!
Well, whatever.
This is just pretend dating anyway,
so I'm not gonna tell you
you can't keep secrets or anything.
But speaking of this
"fake boyfriend" thing
My dad randomly sent me
something yesterday.
A fountain pen?
What makes zero sense is,
he told me to give this to Ogami,
the guy I'm dating right now.
Why?
No clue.
Isn't he kinda hot?
He's so tall!
Look at how long his legs are!
Check out his physique!
Okay, class, I'd like to introduce
our transfer student.
Boss!
Yeah.
A transfer student at a time like this
And that presence
So, one really did show up.
They sent in another pro
to become Noren's fiancé.
This is Shin Kohazame.
Hell yes! A hottie!
- Everyone, be nice to him.
Man, what a difference from Oga!
No, seriously, it's not even a contest!
Now then, why don't you
give us a quick introduction?
Afu?
Duck?
Wow, he's so nervous,
he completely choked.
Um, okay then, for now,
why don't you sit next to Mitsuoka?
Uh, nice to meet you.
She's
She's so cute!
Her picture did not do her justice!
This is bad!
I'm so nervous, I can barely even talk!
There's no way
I can flirt with a girl this cute!
But it's a job, so I have to!
If I'm gonna talk without freaking out,
I've got no choice
but to put that in my mouth!
Huh?
A letter?
I LIKE YOU.
I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT IN PERSON,
I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU
IN THE COURTYARD AFTER SCHOOL.
Whaaat?
Did I really just get the sloppiest
love-letter approach ever?
Jeez, when you're hot, people really
let you get away with anything, huh?
A letter and then
an instant meet-up request.
You want me there with you?
Honestly, that'd help.
That's kinda the whole point
of the "fake boyfriend" thing.
I knew you had a boyfriend.
But if you bring him with you,
that does make this way harder. Jeez.
Huh?
Wait, that's Kohazame's voice,
but the vibe is completely different.
No, hang on, what the heck is that?!
It's a pacifier.
Don't say that with the energy
of "It's just a mask"!
Sorry for freaking you out.
I actually have extreme stage fright,
but when I turn into a baby, it calms me down.
He's calmly saying the craziest nonsense!
The underworld's full of weirdos,
but this guy's really something else.
Oh yeah, he's out there.
Anyway, can we talk
about what I wrote in the letter?
Uh, right,
well, I'm already dating Ogami, so
I know.
But I still have to say it.
It was love at first sight.
I really like you!
Wow, pushy much?
I know you already have a boyfriend.
Even so, will you give me a chance?
Looking at him again,
his eyes really are beautiful.
When he looks at you like that,
your heart skips a beat.
It's not just that his features
are handsome.
There's this almost hypnotic kind
of sex appeal to him.
Except
he's got a pacifier in his mouth!
Well, okay, there are like ten different
things I could say here, but
Hey!
Quit talking out of your ass, moron!
For starters, you don't even like me
that much, do you?
I'm not saying
love at first sight never happens,
and sure, sometimes things move fast
out of nowhere.
But this isn't that.
What ticks me off is that it feels
like you're being made to do this!
Yeah, it's rough
dealing with confessions
but if someone tells me
how they really feel
I make a point
of giving them a real answer.
But if somebody comes at me
with some joke of a confession
like they're making fun
of other people's feelings
I make a point of decking them!
What a
What a direct, strong person!
I'm really in love!
Good boy, good boy.
If a girl like this did that for me,
I could die happy!
No, sorry!
I'm really sorry!
You were totally right about all of it.
And I like you. For real this time.
If you can tell when someone's lying,
you can also tell when they aren't.
So, anyway, your boyfriend
Ogami.
"Ogami," right.
Just like that?
He got behind me?
You're in the business, too, aren't you?
I never thought a sudden confession
like that would actually work.
My plan was to make an impression first,
then ease into it little by little.
But
I changed my mind.
Putting Noren's position
as fiancée on the line
I challenge you to a duel.
Huh? A duel?
That.
That fountain pen is proof
of who is the official fiancé.
And if a duel is issued,
it has to be accepted.
The guidelines
have already been announced.
Wait, what's that mean?
Since when?
If you lose, does that mean the boyfriend
role changes hands automatically?
Jeez! This just keeps getting
more and more annoying!
So, basically, you decided you wanted
to steal her quick and easy, huh?
Exactly.
SIGHHH
Please give Noren to me.
I don't give a damn about duels
or whatever else.
But I'm not handing Noren over!
You're way too freaky for your own good.
MITSUOKA PHARMACEUTICALS
So, whoever's holding the fountain pen
at the end is the fiancé
is that it?
That is brutal!
Hang in there, Oga!
This is no laughing matter!
Noren, are you okay?
No, I am not okay!
I hate the idea of people making this
huge spectacle out of fighting over me!
I feel like I'm gonna puke!
And Ogami's only doing this
because I asked him to fake it.
It's not like I was planning
to date anyone in the first place!
Ogami
It's okay, Master.
I'm in this now.
I'm not gonna lose
no matter what kind of match this is.
They're saying it's a duel
over Noren Mitsuoka!
The one that was posted online?
No way! They're really doing it?
The match lasts one hour.
My objective is to make you
put this pacifier in your mouth.
If you can escape without having it
crammed in, then you win.
Paci fier!
What kind of stupid contest is this?
A pacifier? What?
I don't get it!
Why is he sucking on one
in the first place?
I love you, Noren.
I really mean it.
So, if I win this duel
I want to use your lap
Good boy, good boy.
as a pillow.
Sorry. Not happening.
Let's get started.
When the last grain falls,
exactly one hour will have passed.
Yeah, yeah, let's do this already.
Begin!
Boss!
Even bracing myself, that was close.
Weirdo factor aside,
his skills are the real deal.
It started!
Oh man!
Uh, isn't this plain bad?
Trying to run away
without blowing your cover and all!
That means, for one full hour
I've gotta dodge his attacks
in the most pathetic way possible!
In a weird way, that's kind of pro!
Was that luck?
He's actually managing to dodge him!
Even before I had this younger body,
it'd been a long time
since I'd faced anyone this good.
He's really strong.
Which is exactly why
a match where I lose
if he gets a pacifier in my mouth
What the hell?
Shh!
After Noren turned me down,
I thought about it.
What exactly is the difference between us?
And then it hit me.
One of us is a baby
and one of us
isn't!
What the hell are you talking about?!
Just try putting it in your mouth,
and you'll get why it's so great!
And once we're both babies
I'll be superior!
No good! I still have no idea
what you're on about!
More than anything
I'm in love with Noren!
Are your feelings for her
stronger than mine?
My feelings for Noren
My
Nope.
Not even one millimeter.
I'm a grown man.
I only took this on because I got
stubborn and dug in my heels.
Hah
So, if I lose, worst case,
it can't be helped.
Is that all this is?
TO PAPA
TO PAPA
Papa!
No. Wrong.
It's more than that.
About one minute left?
There they are!
Over there!
He threw it!
Huh? Is it over?
Yeah, this ends it.
Except
I never said that was the only pacifier.
A trap!
A whole bunch of them are flying at him!
He left me an escape route on purpose!
He's gonna land on a rake!
The thing where, if you step on it
the handle whips up
and smacks you right in the face!
And there's a pacifier
attached to the end of it!
And he can't block it!
- It's going in his mouth for sure!
Wha
It stopped!
How?
So, when he jumped back
he'd already
thrown the wood carving knives?
He made it the whole hour!
How'd he do that at the end?
Ogami wins!
Unbelievable!
My love
actually lost!
Sorry.
I don't know if mine's
stronger than yours
but I've got feelings for Noren, too.
They're just nothing like yours.
I only just realized it.
I'd been projecting Kozue onto Noren.
All the things I couldn't do for Kozue
Maybe it's just self-satisfaction.
Even so, I don't want Noren
to end up unhappy.
Yeah, he's definitely pretty down.
But I don't know how to deal
with two boys dueling over me.
HOME EC ROOM
HOME EC ROOM
Um, our new club member is
Shin Kohazame.
Hey!
I'm not giving up, Noren!
Uh, no, please do give up.
Noren!
Wait up!
Tell us more
about what you said back there!
Wait!
Looks like we managed to lose them.
All right, now.
Why?
Sorry!
The club activity I was really looking
forward to got totally wrecked
and before I knew it, all my
built-up stress completely exploded.
I know I messed up.

then ease into it little by little.
But
I changed my mind.
Putting Noren's position
as fiancée on the line
I challenge you to a duel.
Huh? A duel?
That.
That fountain pen is proof
of who is the official fiancé.
And if a duel is issued,
it has to be accepted.
The guidelines
have already been announced.
Wait, what's that mean?
Since when?
If you lose, does that mean the boyfriend
role changes hands automatically?
Jeez! This just keeps getting
more and more annoying!
So, basically, you decided you wanted
to steal her quick and easy, huh?
Exactly.
SIGHHH
Please give Noren to me.
I don't give a damn about duels
or whatever else.
But I'm not handing Noren over!
You're way too freaky for your own good.

So, whoever's holding the fountain pen
at the end is the fiancé
is that it?
That is brutal!
Hang in there, Oga!
This is no laughing matter!
Noren, are you okay?
No, I am not okay!
I hate the idea of people making this
huge spectacle out of fighting over me!
I feel like I'm gonna puke!
And Ogami's only doing this
because I asked him to fake it.
It's not like I was planning
to date anyone in the first place!
Ogami
It's okay, Master.
I'm in this now.
I'm not gonna lose
no matter what kind of match this is.
They're saying it's a duel
over Noren Mitsuoka!
The one that was posted online?
No way! They're really doing it?
The match lasts one hour.
My objective is to make you
put this pacifier in your mouth.
If you can escape without having it
crammed in, then you win.
Paci fier!
What kind of stupid contest is this?
A pacifier? What?
I don't get it!
Why is he sucking on one
in the first place?
I love you, Noren.
I really mean it.
So, if I win this duel
I want to use your lap
Good boy, good boy.
as a pillow.
Sorry. Not happening.
Let's get started.
When the last grain falls,
exactly one hour will have passed.
Yeah, yeah, let's do this already.
Begin!
Boss!
Even bracing myself, that was close.
Weirdo factor aside,
his skills are the real deal.
It started!
Oh man!
Uh, isn't this plain bad?
Trying to run away
without blowing your cover and all!
That means, for one full hour
I've gotta dodge his attacks
in the most pathetic way possible!
In a weird way, that's kind of pro!
Was that luck?
He's actually managing to dodge him!
Even before I had this younger body,
it'd been a long time
since I'd faced anyone this good.
He's really strong.
Which is exactly why
a match where I lose
if he gets a pacifier in my mouth
What the hell?
Shh!
After Noren turned me down,
I thought about it.
What exactly is the difference between us?
And then it hit me.
One of us is a baby
and one of us
isn't!
What the hell are you talking about?!
Just try putting it in your mouth,
and you'll get why it's so great!
And once we're both babies
I'll be superior!
No good! I still have no idea
what you're on about!
More than anything
I'm in love with Noren!
Are your feelings for her
stronger than mine?
My feelings for Noren
My
Nope.
Not even one millimeter.
I'm a grown man.
I only took this on because I got
stubborn and dug in my heels.
Hah
So, if I lose, worst case,
it can't be helped.
Is that all this is?
TO PAPA
TO PAPA
Papa!
No. Wrong.
It's more than that.
About one minute left?
There they are!
Over there!
He threw it!
Huh? Is it over?
Yeah, this ends it.
Except
I never said that was the only pacifier.
A trap!
A whole bunch of them are flying at him!
He left me an escape route on purpose!
He's gonna land on a rake!
The thing where, if you step on it
the handle whips up
and smacks you right in the face!
And there's a pacifier
attached to the end of it!
And he can't block it!
- It's going in his mouth for sure!
Wha
It stopped!
How?
So, when he jumped back
he'd already
thrown the wood carving knives?
He made it the whole hour!
How'd he do that at the end?
Ogami wins!
Unbelievable!
My love
actually lost!
Sorry.
I don't know if mine's
stronger than yours
but I've got feelings for Noren, too.
They're just nothing like yours.
I only just realized it.
I'd been projecting Kozue onto Noren.
All the things I couldn't do for Kozue
Maybe it's just self-satisfaction.
Even so, I don't want Noren
to end up unhappy.
Yeah, he's definitely pretty down.
But I don't know how to deal
with two boys dueling over me.

Uh, no, please do give up.
