Yakuza Fiance: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii (2024) s01e12 Episode Script
When She's Upset the Rain Falls and the Dark Night Descends
1
Finally, we made it back.
I'm gonna pass out.
Oh!
I mean, I'm still functioning.
I can grab my stuff.
Well, at least,
let me unload it.
Quite the drive, wasn't it?
I didn't think
it would be this late.
Here, let me take care
of your bag for you.
I'll take my own bags, thanks!
And just how late
did we get back?
Oh, it's uh,
almost 7 o'clock now.
Ah, perfect.
That's a nice time to start.
- Huh?
- Okay.
Good night, Kirishima.
[footsteps receding]
Night.
WHEN SHE'S
UPSET THE RAIN FALLS
AND THE DARK
NIGHT DESCENDS
Hey, have you guys seen
Yoshino around this morning?
I thought I'd attend her
summer lessons with her,
and we should probably
get a move on pretty soon.
Oh.
Sota gave her a lift already.
Wait.
She left with Inamori?
Hmm.
[school bell chimes]
[KIRISHIMA]
Yo, Yoshers!
Early start, huh?
I had no clue
Inamori was driving you
until you were gone.
♪
Huh?
You remember
how you talked about
craving a parfait yesterday?
Let's grab one later!
Did everything in the lesson
make sense?
I'm still willing to tutor you.
They say
it's gonna rain in two days.
You mentioned wanting to
air out your futon,
so I suggest
doing that tomorrow.
♪
I'm pretty sure
I'm speaking loud enough
for you to hear me, aren't I?
[INAMORI] Hey!
Welcome home, you two.
Hey, yeah. I just got back.
Thank you again for waking up
early enough to give me a ride.
No problem at all!
I always get up by 5:00 anyway.
Glad to see you walked home
with Kirishima.
What?
I walked home alone.
- It was very peaceful.
- [BOTH] Uh?
See ya.
[INAMORI] Uh.
You aren't invisible,
so what did you do to her?
Hmm.
♪
We'll have our talk once
we're back in Tokyo, okay?
Put a sock in it
and go for now.
Hmm.
[insects chirping]
You poor lovesick pup.
How's she ignored you exactly?
[KIRISHIMA]
I've rung her doorbell
about a hundred times
in the last hour
and she won't answer.
- [doorbell ringing]
- [TSUBAKI] Oh, my.
That's just splashing oil
on the fire.
I suggest you stop.
So, then you think
she's really angry?
I kinda hoped that stuff was
water under the bridge
at this point.
Maybe if you hadn't
brought knives into it,
but alas, you did.
At least the good news is
Yoshi's anger has
a literal timer,
and after a period she decides,
the ice queen will thaw out
and welcome you
into her castle.
Sit tight
until the sunshine returns.
Any clue
how long it'll take her
to thaw out this time around?
Hmm.
Well, she has ignored Shoma
in a similar fashion
on occasion
and based on those instances,
I'd give her another 24 hours
before I'd try again.
- Hey, Tsubaki.
- Uh?
Dinner's finally served.
Coming!
I'm on a date with Renji,
so bye now!
[line disconnects]
Hmm.
♪
[KIRISHIMA]
Yoshino!
[doorbell rings]
You know how much you said
you like chikuwabu, right?
Well, I made a fresh pot of it
and brought over a bowl for ya.
It's good.
♪
- Excuse me, Inamori.
- Uh?
We have lemons
and powdered sugar
somewhere around here,
don't we?
Would ya mind
if I put them to use?
[INAMORI] Yeah, sure.
Be my guest.
Yoshino!
You like lemon custard,
don't you?
Want one of these madeleines
I baked?
They taste best
when you share 'em!
Hey, sorry to bug you again.
Do we have 50 grams
of mirror glaze,
some cocoa butter,
and a 100 grams
of chocolate chips?
Along with
a large baking stone,
a Brix refractometer,
and a mesh baking mat as well?
[banging loudly]
I made you a cake!
Look! A whole cake
you can eat while we talk!
I know I brought this on myself
and I was in the wrong!
But if we don't talk, I might
keel over right out here!
What's it mean
when your girlfriend
just brushes off every gesture
you make for two days?
[TACHIBANA]
Means I don't give a shit.
[INAMORI] Wow, it's like
I walked into a bakery.
[KIRISHIMA] I didn't want them
to go to waste.
Help yourselves.
She still hasn't opened up
her doors to you yet?
[KIRISHIMA]
No.
Which is weird
since she'll normally
let me in after I apologize.
So I guess
I'll die.
[TACHIBANA]
Aren't you a masochist?
If you're suffering,
that's good.
[KIRISHIMA] I'll admit
I was enjoying the agony
quite a bit up
until this morning.
Then I started wondering
if she intends to make me
squirm for a month or more.
Not knowing when it will end
is a torture
even I can't endure!
- [growls]
- What if she's sick?
There could be a disease that
makes her unable to recognize
certain people she knows.
That would explain it.
[TACHIBANA] Did your IQ
suddenly drop to three?
Stupid.
I'm just saying
a trip to the doctor's
wouldn't hurt anything, right?
Wrong, now shut the hell up!
Maybe a good neurosurgeon
could help.
Why are you still talking?
[INAMORI] Uh.
And there's the blood.
[thunder rumbling]
[knocking on glass]
[KIRISHIMA] Yoshino?
Are you okay?
[rain splattering]
Uh.
[sighs]
[thunder rumbling]
[rain splattering]
[exhales]
[rain splattering]
[door slides open]
- Uh?
♪
[YOSHINO]
Are you here because you had
something to say?
Drop dead gorgeous.
- [YOSHINO] Hm?
- Wait.
Then am I not invisible
to you anymore?
No, because you never were.
[phone beeps]
Ah.
Slightly early,
but only by a few seconds.
What?
It was almost
7 o'clock on the dot
when we got home
three days ago.
So I set an alarm
that would go off
at 7 o'clock
on the dot tonight.
See?
STARTS: AUGUST 3RD 7:00
ENDS: AUGUST 6TH 7:00
[KIRISHIMA]
Then, my punishment's over?
That all depends on you.
I bet you still don't know
why I was upset
despite having days to wonder.
[KIRISHIMA]
Oh. Well
a lot of things come to mind.
You have three new rules,
first is you don't contact
Shoma unless I say so.
You don't pick fights with him,
and you don't bite
if he starts.
Is that understood?
Yeah, got it.
Why should I believe you?
Because I'm sorry.
I guess the silent treatment
really was effective.
But, uh,
why the silent treatment?
If you didn't give out
empty apologies like candy,
I could possibly have a serious
conversation with you.
Then you get all into it
whenever I scold you,
so what choice do I have
other than
ignoring you entirely?
- [KIRISHIMA] Hmm.
- The only dolts
I'm forced to do this with
are you and Shoma.
And you are justified
but I'd appreciate it
if we don't repeat this.
[YOSHINO] Then you better not
pull this crap again
because next time, three days
will feel like three minutes.
I'll note it in the contract
I write up for you.
Honestly, how long
were you sitting out here?
Um.
I'm not positive, but I think
since around 8:00 or so.
8:00 a.m.?
Were you trying to catch
pneumonia or something?
Let me be clear
in case your mind's muddled.
I'm the only person
you're allowed to bother.
Hmm.
[YOSHINO]
And for the record,
I wasn't mad
because it was Shoma
who got roped
into your giant mess.
[KIRISHIMA]
Could've fooled me.
I mean, I was mad,
but it could've been Tsubaki,
a classmate,
or even a total stranger.
Just don't drag other people
into your bullshit.
Okay?
It's inevitable
that you'll cause trouble
down the road
one way or another.
So whenever that happens,
we'll handle it ourselves.
[KIRISHIMA] All right.
I promise.
You know, you're making it
really hard not to do this.
Ah!
Hm
What the heck, Kirishima?
It's like
you're the sun Goddess
who emerged from her cave.
Huh?
Seeing you after so long
made me realize
just how beautiful you are.
I could stare at you all day.
Come on.
What life did you lead
that lets you flatter girls
like that without laughing?
The truth's the truth.
Wearing the dress I bought you
might've helped
it slip out, though.
You look amazing.
Man, I have great taste.
I've been dodgin'
your every advance
for three days now,
so I wasn't about to
come out here looking meh
if you were ticked and in
the mood to kill or something.
Figured seeing me in this
would take the edge off
a little.
You don't have to worry
about me murdering you.
But if your goal was
to appease me,
mission achieved.
- Seeing you in the clothes
I buy is rare! -Uh!
Okay, look.
I didn't bring it up before
'cause it's really
the thought that counts
when it comes to givin' gifts,
but I like more casual,
everyday clothes,
not this flashy thing.
You're always in a dress.
And it's always casual.
I don't ever wear designer
stuff I get as presents.
- Why?
- I'm trying to keep them all
looking brand-new in case
you do something loony
and I need to come up
with bail money for you.
That's your plan
for me alone, right?
Yeah?
Thought maybe you say
that to all the guys.
The only dude I know
that I anticipate
havin' to sweat
the bail money for is you.
Sure about that?
[YOSHINO] What?
Oh.
You're thinking of Shoma.
He looks and acts tough,
but Shoma is doing just fine
and has direction to his life.
That's one thing he's got
a hell of an advantage
on over you.
Yeah, I can't say I disagree.
It's obvious
just from watching him.
Older people like him
and wanna pamper the guy.
Kids respect him
and he's also a hard worker.
Just the type of person
others naturally
wanna do things for.
And not to mention sociable.
That's a lot of talent.
He'll be an awesome Yakuza.
[YOSHINO]
Uh, the same goes for you.
Me?
No.
Certain things make a person
suited for the biz,
none of which
are traits I possess.
I don't have
a single long-term friend.
No one's fond of me
and they sure
don't put faith in me,
but since I don't trust
anyone either, it works.
Which is why I don't plan
on becoming Yakuza.
For someone
who doesn't like him,
you really pay Shoma
a lot of attention.
You don't always have to
like the subject you study.
But I've learned
he loves hanging with you.
It's one pastime for him,
but it's the only pastime
for me.
Huh?
No matter
where you are in a crowd,
I can always find you.
You easily stand out
from everybody else.
It's really cool.
You give off
this gentle glow almost.
I wonder what it is.
[YOSHINO] Well, what if
you meet someone else who glows
and you enjoy being
around them more than me?
Ha.
Good one.
[YOSHINO]
I'm serious.
Your feelings might change
if you manage to
make another friend.
And what about you?
You have friends growing up?
Turning the topic
back on me again.
So defensive.
I'm just asking.
[sighs]
All right.
I had a fairly average
amount of friends
in my elementary school years
but kids did talk
behind my back.
Then once I got
to middle school,
all my friend groups were gone.
[KIRISHIMA]
Do you know why?
[YOSHINO]
There were some older bullies
who set their sights on me.
Between my height
and my family,
they must've thought
I was full of myself.
[KIRISHIMA]
They didn't set you off?
That wasn't who I was,
even as a kid.
Plus, Shoma came around
in my first year,
and then I was kind of saved.
Once he was in the picture,
not even the bullies
would try to approach me.
So, what about you?
Well,
we have touched on this,
and while I don't have friends
I guess I had a serious attempt
to make some
at one point in my life.
Planned it out
pretty thoroughly even.
"Planned it out?"
Yeah.
But all that it amounted to
was a huge waste of my time.
How different would
our lives be
if I'd been born
closer like Toriashi was?
We could've met
when we were kids
and became fast friends.
Then gone through elementary,
middle school, and high school
staying glued at the hip.
You saying you wish we were
childhood pals instead?
Hmm, yeah.
Something like that.
Well, either way, we're here
and you're my boyfriend.
Uh.
'Spose you got me there.
I'm your boyfriend now!
Doubt I'll ever
get tired of saying that!
So, since we're
on the subject of "us,"
what are your expectations
for a "little leaguer?"
- [KIRISHIMA] A what?
- Tsubaki had this
whole analogy about baseball.
You're a pro
while I don't even know
- the right way to hold a ball.
- [scoffs]
When you put it like that,
I guess I do know
my way around the bases.
Hmm.
How would you feel about
us holding hands?
- As in now?
- Yeah.
- I guess if you want to.
- Only if you do.
What, like it's a big deal?
- Here.
- [exhales]
[rain splattering]
Hmm?
[KIRISHIMA]
You're cold.
Is it from the rain?
My hands have always been
a little bit on the cool side.
And, of course, you're
the opposite with hot hands.
Must have a good metabolism.
That's a rough scar.
Yeah.
It's what happens
when an infected wound
goes untreated.
Ah.
[rain splattering]
You're like sandpaper.
Sorry 'bout that.
I use lotion, but there's
only so much it can do.
It ain't causing me pain,
but isn't your scratchy skin
hurting you?
Actually, I've got some lotion
right here in my purse.
Ta-da.
Want it?
Hmm.

You freakin' freak!
I kinda blanked out there.
The hand cream was
looking like whipped cream,
and since I haven't eaten.
[YOSHINO]
You are chock full of shit,
yet that's the best excuse
you could think of?
Part of why I got dressed up
was so we could eat parfaits
like you had talked about.
Cream is the last thing
I wanna see now.
[KIRISHIMA] No!
No, no! Hold on a sec!
I ain't holdin'
anything else for you!
I lost control
and what I did was wrong.
It's too late for honesty!

OSAKA: DUMP TRUCK
CRASHES INTO

speculation of foul play,
the crashing of a dump truck
into an office
affiliated with the Kirigaya
I can't reach Shoma.
I really hope he's all right.
I'm sure the guy's happily
brooding somewhere safe.
Mind givin' me
some personal space here?
You're far too close

will amount to much.

Tch!

Can I hang up?
Not before
you answer my question.
Enough!
You ain't helpin'
and he was about
to give his take anyway!
So,
I heard some branch group
chuckleheads got into it
because one guy was
lookin' at them funny
or whatever and, well,
they were actin'
like stupid kids.
The higher-ups are
already takin' care of it.
Since it was
a pair of Kirigaya affiliates,
it's an internal thing.
[YOSHINO]
Wait, what do you mean?
This is just a guess,
but the head
of the Kirigaya clan
getting arrested
may have sparked the feud.
[YOSHINO]
Oh, yeah.
I saw that story.
That was over a month ago,
wasn't it?
Plenty of time, then.
Time for what?
The family's headless,
and all the different factions
are getting riled up.
Wait, so
why don't you think
it'll amount to much?
It's hard to tell.
But if you've wondered
why the boss has been
so busy lately, there you go.
He's third

[YOSHINO]
Are you here because you had
something to say?
Drop dead gorgeous.
- [YOSHINO] Hm?
- Wait.
Then am I not invisible
to you anymore?
No, because you never were.
[phone beeps]
Ah.
Slightly early,
but only by a few seconds.
What?
It was almost
7 o'clock on the dot
when we got home
three days ago.
So I set an alarm
that would go off
at 7 o'clock
on the dot tonight.
See?
STARTS: AUGUST 3RD 7:00
ENDS: AUGUST 6TH 7:00
[KIRISHIMA]
Then, my punishment's over?
That all depends on you.
I bet you still don't know
why I was upset
despite having days to wonder.
[KIRISHIMA]
Oh. Well
a lot of things come to mind.
You have three new rules,
first is you don't contact
Shoma unless I say so.
You don't pick fights with him,
and you don't bite
if he starts.
Is that understood?
Yeah, got it.
Why should I believe you?
Because I'm sorry.
I guess the silent treatment
really was effective.
But, uh,
why the silent treatment?
If you didn't give out
empty apologies like candy,
I could possibly have a serious
conversation with you.
Then you get all into it
whenever I scold you,
so what choice do I have
other than
ignoring you entirely?
- [KIRISHIMA] Hmm.
- The only dolts
I'm forced to do this with
are you and Shoma.
And you are justified
but I'd appreciate it
if we don't repeat this.
[YOSHINO] Then you better not
pull this crap again
because next time, three days
will feel like three minutes.
I'll note it in the contract
I write up for you.
Honestly, how long
were you sitting out here?
Um.
I'm not positive, but I think
since around 8:00 or so.
8:00 a.m.?
Were you trying to catch
pneumonia or something?
Let me be clear
in case your mind's muddled.
I'm the only person
you're allowed to bother.
Hmm.
[YOSHINO]
And for the record,
I wasn't mad
because it was Shoma
who got roped
into your giant mess.
[KIRISHIMA]
Could've fooled me.
I mean, I was mad,
but it could've been Tsubaki,
a classmate,
or even a total stranger.
Just don't drag other people
into your bullshit.
Okay?
It's inevitable
that you'll cause trouble
down the road
one way or another.
So whenever that happens,
we'll handle it ourselves.
[KIRISHIMA] All right.
I promise.
You know, you're making it
really hard not to do this.
Ah!
Hm
What the heck, Kirishima?
It's like
you're the sun Goddess
who emerged from her cave.
Huh?
Seeing you after so long
made me realize
just how beautiful you are.
I could stare at you all day.
Come on.
What life did you lead
that lets you flatter girls
like that without laughing?
The truth's the truth.
Wearing the dress I bought you
might've helped
it slip out, though.
You look amazing.
Man, I have great taste.
I've been dodgin'
your every advance
for three days now,
so I wasn't about to
come out here looking meh
if you were ticked and in
the mood to kill or something.
Figured seeing me in this
would take the edge off
a little.
You don't have to worry
about me murdering you.
But if your goal was
to appease me,
mission achieved.
- Seeing you in the clothes
I buy is rare! -Uh!
Okay, look.
I didn't bring it up before
'cause it's really
the thought that counts
when it comes to givin' gifts,
but I like more casual,
everyday clothes,
not this flashy thing.
You're always in a dress.
And it's always casual.
I don't ever wear designer
stuff I get as presents.
- Why?
- I'm trying to keep them all
looking brand-new in case
you do something loony
and I need to come up
with bail money for you.
That's your plan
for me alone, right?
Yeah?
Thought maybe you say
that to all the guys.
The only dude I know
that I anticipate
havin' to sweat
the bail money for is you.
Sure about that?
[YOSHINO] What?
Oh.
You're thinking of Shoma.
He looks and acts tough,
but Shoma is doing just fine
and has direction to his life.
That's one thing he's got
a hell of an advantage
on over you.
Yeah, I can't say I disagree.
It's obvious
just from watching him.
Older people like him
and wanna pamper the guy.
Kids respect him
and he's also a hard worker.
Just the type of person
others naturally
wanna do things for.
And not to mention sociable.
That's a lot of talent.
He'll be an awesome Yakuza.
[YOSHINO]
Uh, the same goes for you.
Me?
No.
Certain things make a person
suited for the biz,
none of which
are traits I possess.
I don't have
a single long-term friend.
No one's fond of me
and they sure
don't put faith in me,
but since I don't trust
anyone either, it works.
Which is why I don't plan
on becoming Yakuza.
For someone
who doesn't like him,
you really pay Shoma
a lot of attention.
You don't always have to
like the subject you study.
But I've learned
he loves hanging with you.
It's one pastime for him,
but it's the only pastime
for me.
Huh?
No matter
where you are in a crowd,
I can always find you.
You easily stand out
from everybody else.
It's really cool.
You give off
this gentle glow almost.
I wonder what it is.
[YOSHINO] Well, what if
you meet someone else who glows
and you enjoy being
around them more than me?
Ha.
Good one.
[YOSHINO]
I'm serious.
Your feelings might change
if you manage to
make another friend.
And what about you?
You have friends growing up?
Turning the topic
back on me again.
So defensive.
I'm just asking.
[sighs]
All right.
I had a fairly average
amount of friends
in my elementary school years
but kids did talk
behind my back.
Then once I got
to middle school,
all my friend groups were gone.
[KIRISHIMA]
Do you know why?
[YOSHINO]
There were some older bullies
who set their sights on me.
Between my height
and my family,
they must've thought
I was full of myself.
[KIRISHIMA]
They didn't set you off?
That wasn't who I was,
even as a kid.
Plus, Shoma came around
in my first year,
and then I was kind of saved.
Once he was in the picture,
not even the bullies
would try to approach me.
So, what about you?
Well,
we have touched on this,
and while I don't have friends
I guess I had a serious attempt
to make some
at one point in my life.
Planned it out
pretty thoroughly even.
"Planned it out?"
Yeah.
But all that it amounted to
was a huge waste of my time.
How different would
our lives be
if I'd been born
closer like Toriashi was?
We could've met
when we were kids
and became fast friends.
Then gone through elementary,
middle school, and high school
staying glued at the hip.
You saying you wish we were
childhood pals instead?
Hmm, yeah.
Something like that.
Well, either way, we're here
and you're my boyfriend.
Uh.
'Spose you got me there.
I'm your boyfriend now!
Doubt I'll ever
get tired of saying that!
So, since we're
on the subject of "us,"
what are your expectations
for a "little leaguer?"
- [KIRISHIMA] A what?
- Tsubaki had this
whole analogy about baseball.
You're a pro
while I don't even know
- the right way to hold a ball.
- [scoffs]
When you put it like that,
I guess I do know
my way around the bases.
Hmm.
How would you feel about
us holding hands?
- As in now?
- Yeah.
- I guess if you want to.
- Only if you do.
What, like it's a big deal?
- Here.
- [exhales]
[rain splattering]
Hmm?
[KIRISHIMA]
You're cold.
Is it from the rain?
My hands have always been
a little bit on the cool side.
And, of course, you're
the opposite with hot hands.
Must have a good metabolism.
That's a rough scar.
Yeah.
It's what happens
when an infected wound
goes untreated.
Ah.
[rain splattering]
You're like sandpaper.
Sorry 'bout that.
I use lotion, but there's
only so much it can do.
It ain't causing me pain,
but isn't your scratchy skin
hurting you?
Actually, I've got some lotion
right here in my purse.
Ta-da.
Want it?
Hmm.

You are chock full of shit,

you could think of?
Part of why I got dressed up
was so we could eat parfaits
like you had talked about.
Cream is the last thing
I wanna see now.

No, no! Hold on a sec!

This is just a guess,
