Yakuza Fiance: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii (2024) s01e04 Episode Script
Is He Smart or Stupid?

♪
You're not allowed to smoke on
the street around here, buddy.
Huh?
It's a pleasure to meet
you, Shoma Toriashi.
The name's Kirishima Miyama.
Though, should I say, "meet?"
We saw each other
just the other day, right?
I came to escort
the lady back home.
I'm curious how you found her.
You been following us all day?
Maybe I have.
It's certainly possible.
You not notice me?
What is your deal?
Trying to start shit?
No way.
I'd never dream of
picking a fight
with anybody
in the Yoshino's family tree.
If we were to get married,
you'd be my brother-in-law,
so why mess with you at all?
Real shitty prospect,
right there.
Tell me, whose orders
have you been acting on?
Orders?
Do you really think
Boss Miyama's the one
who's pulling the strings
behind my every move?
It's true Yoshino could be used
to spark a war with the west,
or on the other hand, she
could be used to prevent one.
[KIRISHIMA]
Unfortunately for you,
she wasn't brought
here as some bargaining chip.
Although, I'm 100% positive
Boss Somei doesn't
have any intention of giving me
his blessing to marry
his dear granddaughter either.
What?
He's trying to manipulate me
for his own personal reasons.
And despite knowing
that, I accepted his offer.
Granted,
I intend to use him, too.
So, it's a fair trade.
"A fair trade," huh?
You care to share what you're
getting outta this situation,
because I'd love to hear it.
As long as I'm doing
what Boss Somei asks,
Yoshino is mine.
That's worth every second
I act out his script.
I'm smitten with her.
In that regard, she's
irreplaceable to me.
You serious?
If so, you lost your damn mind.
[YOSHINO]
Kirishima?
What the heck
are you doing here?
Well, it's getting late.
I'd like to take you home.
Wait.
How did you even know
where to find me?
- Let's see it.
- Hm.
You're sharp as ever.
[smack lips]
Of course.
This basket case over here
went behind my back
and made a clone
of my cell phone.
He can access data
from the original with it.
Huh?
I thought I told you
if you ever wanna
know where I am, then call!
You did.
Next time, I definitely will.
You say, "next time,"
every damn time!
You good?
Listen, you ought a come back
to Osaka with me, after all.
Dude, I ought a what?
I'll explain
it to the boss, okay?
This guy is a lotta things,
and it's clear
"sane" isn't on that list.
There's no denying
that, but still
You won't really leave, right?
You're getting in on this, too?
I mean,
since I'm the best person
in the world for you to marry,
I think I have a say.
What?
Do you actually hear the crap
that spews outta your mouth
when it opens up?
Yeah, pretty sure I do.
Then you should
realize you sound
more like a stalker
than a fiance.
Now that you mention it,
she has called me that.
And yet, it wasn't enough
to make her go home.
Which about sums it up, yeah?
No outsider takes should
be allowed on this topic.
Say what?
Arrogant little, son of a--
Back up.
I won't sit here and let you
just run your mouth.
Shoma is and always
has been family to me.
If there's an outsider here,
dumbass, it's you!
[chuckles]
My mistake.
I crossed a line.
Sorry about that.
Guess you're forgiven.
But look, as much
as I appreciate the concern.
I promise you things are okay,
so you can head back
to Osaka without me.
You're leaving pretty early,
so you better
get to bed already.
He'll see that I get home safe.
- If you're sure.
- Cool.
Just let me grab my stuff
and I'll be ready to head out.
Great.
[indistinct chatter]
[panting]
[YOSHINO]
Shoma!
I'm here, but at what cost?
I said you didn't
have to see me off.
- What's up?
- Where's the loon at?
Kirishima?
Maybe at home?
I'm not really sure.
Haven't talked yet today.
Don't even try to hide it.
Just pure hatred.
But then again,
you've never vibed
with the suave
chatterbox types, huh?
Any other thoughts on him?
I think he's crazy.
Yeah, we've established this.
But I refuse to leave just yet
because it feels like he's the
one who got the better of me.
All I gotta do is figure out
some way to win.
That's what I don't
understand, though.
- Huh?
- You're proud
and you're proving that
you would give up your life
if it meant saving your pride.
You'd rather die than
break the rules you set.
No doubt about that.
[FEMALE ANNOUNCER 1A]
Thank you for choosing
to ride with Shinkansen.
Nozomi 203 for
Shin-Osaka station
That's my train.
[FEMALE ANNOUNCER 1A]
platform 16.
Shoma, if I didn't
have pride or honor,
I would just be
a shell of a person.
♪
I'm doing all this because
without those, I'm dead.
Well,
that sounds pretty on brand.
Won't ever catch me risking
my life for that, though.
Is there anything that
you would risk your life for?
Hm.
Huh!
Looks like
there's a bug in your hair.
What?
Where?
Get it out, get it out!
[whimpering]
Wait, that isn't a bug.
- A crumb?
- Oh.
I did have toast
for breakfast, yeah.
Well, do whatever
you'd like and die
whatever death you
think suits you the best.
Just don't go
as crazy as him, okay?
Okay, okay, I get it!
Once I'm back on home ground.
I'll try and see if I can
learn the boss' true motives.
Huh.
Like with the war you
mentioned before, right?
You're convinced
something's brewing?
There's gotta be, man.
You and me just ain't
been made aware yet.
- Anyway
- Have a safe trip.
♪
I'll come back.
Sounds good, as long
as you aren't ditching class.
No, I'm gonna
put in all the work.
Oh, yeah?
Then, I'll stay
on my A-game too,
so you don't have to worry.
[indistinct chatter]
[YOSHINO]
It's really crowded today.
[KIRISHIMA] Might be
thanks to the field day
at a nearby grade school.
[indistinct chatter]
[YOSHINO]
He's so close.
I can feel his body heat.
And, good Lord,
does he smell nice.
Is it in my head,
or are you on edge?
Nope.
Just staying alert
in case something goes down.
Wait, like a fight?
On the train?
[chuckles]
Being on a train won't stop
attempted murder,
and I like you alive.
Seriously?
[KIRISHIMA]
I'd rather be safe than sorry.
On the off chance
you end up dead,
they'll make sure
I bite it, too.
Hmm.
But, you know
it really is my first time
riding such a packed train.
I kept quiet because
I didn't want you guys
thinking I was
sheltered and spoiled.
But I would get rides
wherever I needed to go,
back at home.
I made them park far away
to and from school, though.
So, no one would see
the car was waiting for me.
[chuckles] Except
I walked like a normal kid
my first year of middle school
since Shoma was with me.
[gasps]
You okay?
It's nothing.
♪
[YOSHINO]
That cold, piercing sensation.
I've felt it from him before.
Uh.
I know!
It was when I
first moved to Tokyo!
[grunts]
That massive pain in the ass
better not say
he's bored of me again!
Though, come to think of it.
I haven't exactly been putting
my feminine wiles
to work in wooing the guy.
HOW TO KEEP HIM INTERESTED
ARE YOU HIGH-MAINTENANCE AND
DEPENDENT UPON YOUR BOYFRIEND?
MEN TEND TO GET BORED OF
WOMEN THEY CONSIDER BURDENS.
What the crap is this "advice?"
[phone chime]
[SHOMA] I ate it in under
ten minutes, so it was free.
[YOSHINO]
What the hell is he doing?
[grunts]
STUDY!
[sighs]
Hmm?
♪
He was looking at me.
[sighs]
I think this will be
the last year I can wear this.
What a mess.
Pulling out my summer wardrobe
makes it seem like I'm moving.
Like, I could not unpack
and head home.
I'm staying
right here in Tokyo!
Just trying to organize
my stuff, nothing more!
All this is really his fault, anyway.
I wouldn't be
in my head all the time
if he wasn't so unpredictable.
Pisses me off
just thinking about it!
[door opens]
And what's stoking
your rage now?
[screams]
You've got a weird habit
of popping up out of nowhere!
Yeah, you got
a delivery here from Osaka.
Oh, uh, thanks.
It's heavier than
I thought it would be.
Do you have a hot date tonight?
Huh.
No.
I was changing wardrobes
since it's summertime
and seeing what fit.
Oh.
It kind of looks like
you're packing things up to me.
[YOSHINO]
It's that same, cold feeling.
But it's even worse
than this morning.
I can't look at him.
All right.
This has to be deliberate.
Huh?
It feels like you're
just dying to kill me.
Hm?
Does it really?
Don't know why, I'm not.
Then what's your problem
with me?
As of now, I don't have
one single problem with you.
Then, your boredom
must be setting in again.
Without me realizing it?
Hang on.
Is Shoma irking you?
Something about him
rub you the wrong way?
Could be.
Since I've never straight
up hated someone before,
it's hard to say for sure.
So what would
you do if I told you
he and I were becoming
more than friends?
[chuckles]
Not mind one bit.
What?
No.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I've even been the mastermind
who sets up my girls to cheat.
The idea of you having
a fling behind my back
with some guy from Osaka
sounds really hot to me.
But could I add a stipulation?
Like what?
I'll give you
the green light to date
who you want and do what want.
Catch is, you can only
do it where I can watch you.
What?
You know that
"carrot and stick" saying?
Well, I don't even need
the carrot incentive.
Getting hit with the stick
is much sweeter.
Or that's how it would work,
but you're a different case.
I fell too hard for you
to ever have the upper hand.
We're gonna have
to strike a good balance
of both sticks
and carrots for us to work.
Cheat to your heart's content,
but I want a front row seat
for every kiss and lay you get.
Even if you tie me
up in the corner, I wanna see.
And then, once you've
gotten your fill of him,
I get to kill the guy.
We can ensure
everything balances out
in the end that way.
There you go,
talking like a nut job again.
How many screws are loose?
Okay.
So you're saying if Shoma
and I were actually going out,
you would be cool
with it on the condition
that I let you murder
him one day?
- Are you going out?
- Hell, no, we're not!
He's just family, and I know
I've already told you as much!
- Uh-huh.
- Still don't believe me?
No, I do.
You're oddly close for family
but I don't think there's
something more between you.
You're one to talk about odd.
It's sure not typical.
You aren't
even related by blood.
You're really gonna
get all technical on me?
You probably know,
but the only blood relative
I grew up around is gramps.
The way you're acting
about this kinda makes it
seem like you're just
jealous of Shoma.
Yeah.
Maybe so
I hadn't considered
it, but it's possible.
I'm just jealous and
it's slowly driving me insane.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Are you being serious
right now?
So, the crazy gets crazier?
- Well, what if I were normal?
- Huh?
I'll become your ideal
version of a normal guy.
I'm not sure what that
even looks like to you,
but I'd be willing to
at least try a normie lifestyle
if it was for your sake.
Long as you tell me
what to shoot for,
I'm confident
I'll do a good enough job.
- [YOSHINO] The hell?
- Hm?
You're saying you would change
your life to please
a finicky chick?
Am I?
I mean, kinda.
- If that's what it is.
- [sighs]
I was gonna keep my mouth shut,
but in the name of fairness,
I'll tell you.
I was planning to stay a year,
then ditch your butt
and head back home to Osaka.
- Hm?
- But I'm about to tweak that.
If by some ridiculous
miracle you make me
fall in love with you,
I'll tell gramps
- "sayonara" and stay in Tokyo.
- Huh!
You say you'll act
like my ideal guy,
and I have a hunch
you'll play the role to a tee.
But see, you sure as shit won't
win my heart with fake stunts.
Well, how do I win it, then?
"How do I win it, then?"
I'm surprised a playboy
who sleeps around
as much as you do
even has to ask.
If the alternative is putting
on some half-assed normie act,
then you should embrace being
the cracked bastard
you really are!
It would be a damn
sight better at least!
[sighs]
Even though I love
you with a fiery passion now,
I figured it'd fade to
an ember over time.
Huh?
But I was just dead wrong.
♪
I know as long as you
don't ever change,
the love I feel for you
will only burn stronger.
[chuckles] I swear
you really are a psycho.
Thank you!
This marks the first step
on the road to our wedding day!
Ugh.
My head is hurting
enough for one chat,
so let's call it right here.
I'm gonna put on PJs and eat.
Want me to cook dinner for you
while you get dressed?
[YOSHINO] I want you
to go back to your own room!
- [sighs]
- [beeping]
Every damn year.
They say dummies
get sick during the summer!
[chuckles]
So that's why
my head hurt last night.
Guess I'll have
to skip school today.
GOOD MORNING.
I THINK I CAUGHT A COLD.
IT'S NOT TOO BAD
BUT I'M GOING
TO TAKE TODAY
OFF FROM SCHOOL.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
CHECK ON ME
SO PLEASE,
HEAD TO CLASS ON YOUR OWN.

[door opens]
Hey.
Sorry you're feeling rough.
I brought you
some sports drinks.
Oh, man.
When I got your text,
I was running in the park
that's over by the main street,
but I lucked out.
There was a convenience
store that was super close,
- and yes, the one
- What?!
[BOTH]
That's over a kilometer away.
- Jinx! You owe me a drink, too.
- You ran to the store,
bought drinks, then ran home?
I sent that text
three minutes ago!
[chuckles]
At this point,
it's practically tradition
for me to catch a cold
sometime during the summer.
Appreciate you.
I hear what you're saying,
I really do,
but sick is still sick.
So I'll grab you
more sports drinks
and if you've got an appetite,
maybe some yogurt.
You'll be late if you try
to do any more shopping, dude.
For school?
I'm skipping, too.
- You need me here.
- Says who?
And who said I need a nurse?
It's a light fever that'll get
better once I rest for a bit!
Are you sure?
Want a doc's opinion?
- Huh!
- Is that a no?
Yeah.
No doc.
Why, though?
It can't hurt
to get checked out.
- I really don't like hospitals.
- Wait.
Didn't you remove
an organ a few weeks ago
at a hospital somewhere?
I did, but my hatred for you
enabled me to push through.
Wow.
I gotta say,
that's quite an honor.
Enough stalling.
Take your ass to school!
But you're sick!
If something happens,
I'll let you know!
I'll compromise by
sending you a text every hour
but please
don't leave me unread.
I want to help you,
so just call
if there's anything you need.
I'll come rushing back.
Kirishima, you're a real
handful, you know that?

[KIRISHIMA]
Right.
And you have absolutely no idea
where they could've gone
after they left here, Segawa?
As of right now, no.
Tachibana?
It's Kirishima speaking.
I'll make this quick.
You know how
one of the Higashi boys
made a move
on their boss' girl,
and they ran off
into the sunset together?
You find where they are?
[KIRISHIMA]
I found their hideout
thanks to the brothel
owner who tipped me off.
Now, they're
back on the run again.
I'll send you the
address in a second,
so could you have
a guy come down here?
Wait.
I thought
[TACHIBANA]
And where is this hideout?
Saitama.
Apparently, there isn't
anyone working this place.
We'd be able
to collect protection fees
if we stationed
one of our boys on it.
Stay there.
I'll send someone.
Tell them to step on it,
would you?
Yoshino caught a cold somehow.
So, you understand my hurry
to head home
and nurse her back to health.
- What?
- I've tried calling her,
but every time I do
it'll go straight to voicemail.
The hell do I care?
Call an ambulance.
She told me
she doesn't like hospitals.
So I'd rather just
Hello?
Wait a second here!
I reached out to you
because you aren't yakuza!
- Right?
- Yeah.
I'm not yakuza.
The person on his way here
to meet us is, though.
You didn't seriously think you
could solve yakuza trouble
without involving the yakuza,
now did you?
Even an idiot
wouldn't be that thick.
The protection money
will score you
fun stuff like hot towels
and houseplants, too.
You'll love our services.
- Oh, also
- Yes?
Know of any hospitals
you would give
a five-star review in the area?
[doorbell chimes]

Hey.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Let me take your temperature.
[groans]
Yeah.
I know it sucks.
[beeping]
[KIRISHIMA] Hello?
Inamori?
It looks like her cold got
a whole lot worse
while I was out.
I wanna take her
to the hospital

Would you mind driving us?
If it's no issue,
please go ahead
and crank the AC up
all the way.
All right, time for a trip.

Smells nice.
What cologne is this again?

[birds chirping]
[KIRISHIMA] Good morning, and
sorry to bother you so early.
Are you free to talk?
Yeah.
Shoot, kid.
Her fever broke
and she's back at home.
Ay, atta girl!
She's a fighter, but thanks.
It's a relief knowing
that you've got her back.
Is she busting your balls
every day?
A little bit.
She constantly
calls me a stalker.
[RENJI] [scoffs]
I swear.
She's got a hell of a mouth,
but I don't
know where it's from.
I'm not complaining.
I think anyone else
would've freaked out
and run away from me,
but Yoshino stayed.
In fact, I'm pretty sure she'll
stay the entire year now.
[chuckles]
Oh, I see, I see.
All that girl's tenacity comes
straight from her old gramps!
I realize I'm asking a lot,
but please, kid,
take good care of her.
You can count on me.
I'll stalk her
or whatever else it takes.

Shoma, if I didn't

I would just be
a shell of a person.

I'm doing all this because
without those, I'm dead.
Well,
that sounds pretty on brand.
Won't ever catch me risking
my life for that, though.
Is there anything that
you would risk your life for?
Hm.
Huh!
Looks like
there's a bug in your hair.
What?
Where?
Get it out, get it out!
[whimpering]
Wait, that isn't a bug.
- A crumb?
- Oh.
I did have toast
for breakfast, yeah.
Well, do whatever

Just don't go
as crazy as him, okay?
Okay, okay, I get it!
Once I'm back on home ground.
I'll try and see if I can
learn the boss' true motives.
Huh.
Like with the war you
mentioned before, right?
You're convinced
something's brewing?
There's gotta be, man.
You and me just ain't
been made aware yet.
- Anyway
- Have a safe trip.
♪
I'll come back.
Sounds good, as long
as you aren't ditching class.
No, I'm gonna
put in all the work.
Oh, yeah?
Then, I'll stay
on my A-game too,
so you don't have to worry.
[indistinct chatter]
[YOSHINO]
It's really crowded today.
[KIRISHIMA] Might be
thanks to the field day
at a nearby grade school.
[indistinct chatter]
[YOSHINO]
He's so close.
I can feel his body heat.
And, good Lord,
does he smell nice.
Is it in my head,
or are you on edge?
Nope.
Just staying alert
in case something goes down.
Wait, like a fight?
On the train?
[chuckles]
Being on a train won't stop
attempted murder,
and I like you alive.
Seriously?
[KIRISHIMA]
I'd rather be safe than sorry.
On the off chance
you end up dead,
they'll make sure
I bite it, too.
Hmm.
But, you know
it really is my first time
riding such a packed train.
I kept quiet because
I didn't want you guys
thinking I was
sheltered and spoiled.
But I would get rides
wherever I needed to go,
back at home.
I made them park far away
to and from school, though.
So, no one would see
the car was waiting for me.
[chuckles] Except
I walked like a normal kid
my first year of middle school
since Shoma was with me.
[gasps]
You okay?
It's nothing.

[YOSHINO]
That cold, piercing sensation.
I've felt it from him before.
Uh.
I know!
It was when I
first moved to Tokyo!
[grunts]
That massive pain in the ass
better not say
he's bored of me again!
Though, come to think of it.
I haven't exactly been putting
my feminine wiles
to work in wooing the guy.

Hmm?
♪
He was looking at me.
[sighs]
I think this will be
the last year I can wear this.
What a mess.
Pulling out my summer wardrobe
makes it seem like I'm moving.
Like, I could not unpack
and head home.
I'm staying
right here in Tokyo!
Just trying to organize
my stuff, nothing more!
All this is really his fault, anyway.
I wouldn't be
in my head all the time
if he wasn't so unpredictable.
Pisses me off
just thinking about it!
[door opens]
And what's stoking
your rage now?
[screams]
You've got a weird habit
of popping up out of nowhere!
Yeah, you got
a delivery here from Osaka.
Oh, uh, thanks.
It's heavier than
I thought it would be.
Do you have a hot date tonight?
Huh.
No.
I was changing wardrobes
since it's summertime
and seeing what fit.
Oh.
It kind of looks like
you're packing things up to me.
[YOSHINO]
It's that same, cold feeling.
But it's even worse
than this morning.
I can't look at him.
All right.
This has to be deliberate.
Huh?
It feels like you're
just dying to kill me.
Hm?
Does it really?
Don't know why, I'm not.
Then what's your problem
with me?
As of now, I don't have
one single problem with you.
Then, your boredom
must be setting in again.
Without me realizing it?
Hang on.
Is Shoma irking you?
Something about him
rub you the wrong way?
Could be.
Since I've never straight
up hated someone before,
it's hard to say for sure.
So what would
you do if I told you
he and I were becoming
more than friends?
[chuckles]
Not mind one bit.
What?
No.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I've even been the mastermind
who sets up my girls to cheat.
The idea of you having
a fling behind my back
with some guy from Osaka
sounds really hot to me.
But could I add a stipulation?
Like what?
I'll give you
the green light to date
who you want and do what want.
Catch is, you can only
do it where I can watch you.
What?
You know that
"carrot and stick" saying?
Well, I don't even need
the carrot incentive.
Getting hit with the stick
is much sweeter.
Or that's how it would work,
but you're a different case.
I fell too hard for you
to ever have the upper hand.
We're gonna have
to strike a good balance
of both sticks
and carrots for us to work.
Cheat to your heart's content,
but I want a front row seat
for every kiss and lay you get.
Even if you tie me
up in the corner, I wanna see.
And then, once you've
gotten your fill of him,
I get to kill the guy.
We can ensure
everything balances out
in the end that way.
There you go,
talking like a nut job again.
How many screws are loose?
Okay.
So you're saying if Shoma
and I were actually going out,
you would be cool
with it on the condition
that I let you murder
him one day?
- Are you going out?
- Hell, no, we're not!
He's just family, and I know
I've already told you as much!
- Uh-huh.
- Still don't believe me?
No, I do.
You're oddly close for family
but I don't think there's
something more between you.
You're one to talk about odd.
It's sure not typical.
You aren't
even related by blood.
You're really gonna
get all technical on me?
You probably know,
but the only blood relative
I grew up around is gramps.
The way you're acting
about this kinda makes it
seem like you're just
jealous of Shoma.
Yeah.
Maybe so
I hadn't considered
it, but it's possible.
I'm just jealous and
it's slowly driving me insane.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Are you being serious
right now?
So, the crazy gets crazier?
- Well, what if I were normal?
- Huh?
I'll become your ideal
version of a normal guy.
I'm not sure what that
even looks like to you,
but I'd be willing to
at least try a normie lifestyle
if it was for your sake.
Long as you tell me
what to shoot for,
I'm confident
I'll do a good enough job.
- [YOSHINO] The hell?
- Hm?
You're saying you would change
your life to please
a finicky chick?
Am I?
I mean, kinda.
- If that's what it is.
- [sighs]
I was gonna keep my mouth shut,
but in the name of fairness,
I'll tell you.
I was planning to stay a year,
then ditch your butt
and head back home to Osaka.
- Hm?
- But I'm about to tweak that.
If by some ridiculous
miracle you make me
fall in love with you,
I'll tell gramps
- "sayonara" and stay in Tokyo.
- Huh!
You say you'll act
like my ideal guy,
and I have a hunch
you'll play the role to a tee.
But see, you sure as shit won't
win my heart with fake stunts.
Well, how do I win it, then?
"How do I win it, then?"
I'm surprised a playboy
who sleeps around
as much as you do
even has to ask.
If the alternative is putting
on some half-assed normie act,
then you should embrace being
the cracked bastard
you really are!
It would be a damn
sight better at least!

Even though I love
you with a fiery passion now,
I figured it'd fade to
an ember over time.

Yeah.
No doc.
Why, though?

Wow.

Enough stalling.
