Look at that!

He just appeared amidst a huge crowd of fans.

Kono Junya, ace of the national football team

made a dashing appearance.

Kono Junya, the top-scorer of the league
for three consecutive years,

has transferred from Regulus Kamakura
to the prestigious Italian club Piemonte FC.

Thanks.

Junya!

You traitor!

Abandoning Japan for money!

I believe that's yours.

Out of the way, please!
Come here!

Hey! Junya!

Thank you.

- Nice safe.
- Let's go.

Okay, go ahead!

We're sorry.
Please turn around.

We're sorry, but this is under construction.

We're sorry, we're sorry.

Man, it's gotten cold.

Tonight's no joke.

You can have this.

- I brought a bunch.
- You sure?

- Yes.
- Thank you.

You seem accustomed.
How long have you been a guardsman?

About six years, I think.

Guess we're the same then.

It's a good job to earn some
extra money before retirement,

but it must be boring for youngsters?

Nah, I'm not young anymore.

No, I'm the young one.

Huh? I didn't notice.

Excuse me!

Stop!
Please... excuse me!

- Stop! Stop!
- Please stop!

- Excuse me!?
- Stop!

Excuse me, this is under construction.
Please turn around.

We're in a hurry.
Can't you let us through?

I'm sorry, but passage is prohibited.

Could you make an exception?

Well, an accident would be more troublesome, so...

Excuse me! Excuse me!
This is under construction!

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Wait, wait, wait...!
What about that car?

Beats me, they just plowed through.

The heck?
I thought it's prohibited?!

- Do your job properly, will ya!
- Stop it!

It's no use complaining to the guards, right?

- We're sorry!
- We're sorry!

We almost had her.
Shit...

Hinode Security Service - Traffic Guard Division

Shimazaki Akira

(Will Tachihara Aiko resign? - "Faux Pas Minister")

I've been told that

you seem to have let a car through the barrier last night.

My apologies.

No, that's good.
That's one less problem.

That contractor was annoying anyway.

Thank you very much.

Truth is, that's not why I've summoned you here.

The division for private security
is set to get established soon.

That's right, bodyguards.

Speaking of bodyguards in Japan,

celebrities and rich people come to mind first,

but these days anyone is in danger of becoming a victim.

More and more people realize that safety can't be bought for free.

The essence of private security is experience.

It would be really reassuring
if I were to get you for this division.

Don't get me wrong...

I'm thankful for everything you've done for me.

However, I'm sure you know about this.

The world of bodyguards,

there's no way back for those who have failed once already.

Nobody has to know about that.

I've no intention of proclaiming what happened six years ago.

You'll take up your new post
at private security as a rookie

just like the other members.

A rookie...

Still, being out of the field for so long could be fatal.

And I'm not getting any younger.

My perception probably isn't what it used to be.

Are you sure this is the right path for you?

Shimazaki-kun...

Show me what a real comeback looks like.

If anyone can do it, it's you.

You're going to start training now.

Private security isn't just one person.

It's about team play.

Hinode Security Service - Crisis Management

Sawaguchi Seitaro

Got it.

I picked capable people from various divisions.

Hinode Security Service - Cash-in-Transit Division

Takanashi Masaya

Suganuma Mayu

Hinode Security Service - Security Guard Division

You should make for a great team.

Hinode Security Service - Facility Guard Division

Murata Goro

Move! You want me to kill her!?

You need to get closer.

But he's got a knife and I got nothing!

And you know why!

Unlike Security Police (SP), private bodyguards

are not allowed to carry guns
or other kind of dangerous weapons.

No need to get all serious during practice...

This is the final drill.

If you want to get this over with, you better get serious.

I'm gonna kill this woman!

Ouch...!
Help me!

My bad...

Magnificent...

Ah! I'm sorry.

Just a fluke?

Huh?

One more try, please.

Translation: HPriest @ d-addicts
Twitter: @hpriestsubs

It is admirable how you never let your guard down and never miss practice, huh?

What is it?

MPD - Security Bureau - Section Chief

Hikawa Osamu

(Security Police / SP)

Minister Aiko apparently got herself a little gift.

(Security Police / SP)

MPD - Security Bureau

Ochiai Yoshiaki

Commanding officer of MPD's Explosive Ordinance Division.

(Representative of Former Fans)

Confirming shape of object in question.

Shape of object in question is a brown paper bag.

It has an invoice attached to it.
It's addressed to Minister Tachihara Aiko.

Sender not yet known.
Commencing x-ray of object in question.

When did the package arrive?

Around three o'clock.
It was with the other packages.

Maybe it's actually just a fan's present or something?

I couldn't barely handle all the letters I got during my time as news anchor.

It's my faux pas, isn't it?

It's an old battery!

A battery?

X-ray complete.

No explosive materials found.

Checking all of the contents now.

This is it.

"Self-conceit is man's greatest enemy."

"Resign or death comes with a signal gun."

"Representative of Former Fans."

A rather malicious prank.

I've gotten plenty of comments strongly advising me to resign from office,

Tachihara Aiko

Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare

but such a threat is a first for me.

What could the signal gun be referring to?
Does anything come to mind?

No.

Could it be?
The Sumida River Marathon?

She's going to serve as the starter for a marathon

at her local electoral precinct.

Resign...

Could be a warning of an attack there
unless you resign as a Minister of the Diet.

Please pull out of the event.

Yes.
I'll immediately contact the organizers...

Please wait.

I don't want to give in to such a threat.

SP will guard you 24/7.

- Get that to forensics.
- Yes.

- Increase guards.
- Yes.

Kiyota, check with the 4th and
instruct Nakamura and Tanaka.

Understood.

I'm in front of the Diet in Chiyoda, Nagata-chou.

Yesterday, at around three o'clock,

a suspicious packaged arrived here for Diet member Tachihara Aiko,

forcing one of her staff to call 110.

As a result of this report, a riot police unit had to...

You'll be late if you don't hurry up.

I know.

As you can see, they even had to cordon off traffic routes around...

How's school?

Unless you go back or change schools,
it's gonna be quite far for you.

Hurry up and go back to Mom, you mean?

No, that's not what I mean.

I'm fine if you prefer to stay here.

It's not like I actually want to live with you or anything.

I just don't want to disturb Mom's newly-married life.

I want her to become happy this time, you see.

That so...?
How tactful.

At around 7:30 this morning,

Diet member Tachihara appeared in front of the Diet after receiving yesterday's threat

and hurried into the Diet without answering any questions of the reporters present.

So that's your type?

Enough already!

Lock the door.

According to government officials,
it was an incident bound to happen.

There are more and more negative comments such as

demands for her to resign from office.

Back to the studio.

Be careful when you go.

Look at you!

You're all bodyguards, right?

You totally look like an Eastwood!

As for you...

Kevin, maybe?

You're Nicolas!

Whitney.

- In need of protection?
- My age doesn't really fit, though.

- May I ask who you are?
- Isn't it obvious?

I'm here to talk to you about insurance.

Having security in a dangerous
field of work such as this is a must.

Insurance at the workplace.

I've got no spare money for that.

This has to stay between us,
but your president is a cheapskate,

so he may give his clients high insurance, but his employees not so much.

Here, Kevin...
You must have three children.

Your cute wife deserves to get at least 50 million.

No, that's not necessary at all
and you're completely wrong.

You never know when a bullet's gonna hit you, do you?

Please don't say things that bring ill luck.

Oh, section chief!

A special insurance plan just for you!

Another time for sure.

- We got a very urgent job to do, so...
- Hey!

I...
Always leave them wanting more.

Much appreciated.

Okay!

It wasn't a lie.

Everyone, you've made it through the strict training.

Our first request.

First of all, watch this.

Yesterday at 3:00pm, Minister Tachihara Aiko received a package

at her office from someone who calls himself "Representative of Former Fans."

The packaged contained a battery and while nobody was harmed,

it also contained a threatening letter.

It seems to be a direct response in light of her verbal faux pas the other day.

The working rate is steadily increasing.

However, let me be clear,

work isn't something to be given.

Those who are unemployed bear a certain self-responsibility as well.

- Self-responsibility?
- What do you mean by that?

Any word for the person who sent it?

You don't think it was because of your faux pas?

Minister Tachihara!

The people want a comment from you.

I've known this reporter for a long time.

He gets three minutes for an interview.

Excuse me.

He's getting special treatment?

Thank you very much.
It's an honor to get such an exclusive.

Inukai-san, you're no gossip reporter like them,

you're a journalist.

Well then...

Do you think that it was your faux pas
that lead such a threat?

Yes.

However, I don't think of it as a faux pas.

When talking about self-responsibility,

it does have the bad meaning of being on one's own,

but it also means the esteem of an individual
who doesn't pry into other people's business.

Then you have no intention of resigning?

Of course not.

I'm going to attend the Sumida River Marathon as planned.

Tachihara Aiko doesn't run away.

Our client is Okubo Sasuke, 71, president of Sasuke Foods.

The main sponsor of the Sumida River Marathon.

He goes way back with our president,

so he asked us to be his bodyguards at the commendation ceremony.

So we're not gonna be the bodyguards for Minister Tachihara...?

How disappointing. A politician sure would have meant a better salary.

Politicians have a tight enough protection with MPD's SP.

They wouldn't ask for private bodyguards.

Wow, how self-important...

President Okubo is worried he'll end up in harm's way

if Minister Tachihara gets attacked.

That's nothing more than a prank.

Even something that's partly for fun can get you injured.

It's just a battery!

As for the main bodyguard...

Please let me do it.

Being the main bodyguard isn't just about being a bodyguard.

He's always the closest to the client and gives instructions to the team.

Any mistake could be fatal.

- How self-aware...
- You're too oblivious!

Say again?

Very well.

- I'll be counting on you.
- Yes, sir.

Shimazaki-kun, you'll have
Takanashi-kun's back and deal with the MPD.

Ah, r-right...

Suganuma-kun and Sawaguchi-kun,
you check the venue and the schedule.

Yes, sir.

I'm Takanashi of Hinode Security Service's private security division.

I'll be your bodyguard that day.

Same here, I'm Shimazaki.

I'm counting on you.
No matter the costs.

I absolutely cannot get entangled into this mess and die!

Anyway, have a seat.

Have the seating positions been finalized?

Here.

Thank you.

The minister and you are far from each other.

The farther the better!

If she gets attacked with a machine gun or a bomb,

I might end up as collateral damage!

The MPD will be present as well.

There will be strict checks of every visitor.

This gotta stay between us,

but I learned about the threatening
letter's contents from her secretary.

I don't think we're dealing with a prank here.

And yet the police doesn't even bother protecting me.

Politicians, however, they
get a whole bunch of guards.

Do they even know how much taxes

this company has paid over the years?

Don't worry.

I'll be your shield in case of any unlikely event.

I don't want to die no matter what!

Will you protect me with your own life?

Yes.

Sir, not to be rude,

but is there no option for you not to go to the stadium?

- What?
- I mean,

you just said that you absolutely don't want to die.

If you don't go, you won't have to worry
about getting entangled into things.

Absolutely not!

The Sumida River Marathon

is a precious event we've become a sponsor of

in celebration of the success of our ramen.

Just like the marathon,

it's a commemoration of our
products' long and continued success.

It's been 20 years already.

In prosperity and adversity,

the Sumida River Marathon is a matter close to our hearts

for me and our employees.

I completely understand.
We will protect you the best we can.

Are you scared?

...can't say I'm not.

If you're that scared already,

don't you think you should find a different job?

- Should I?
- If you're afraid of dying,

you can't become your client's shield.

But wouldn't it be bad if that shield died?

- Please stop with the quibble.
- No, seriously, you could get hurt.

That's our job.
What are you talking?

No, I'm not just quibbling,

if we bodyguards fall, our client will be a shellfish without its shell.

Isn't that...

...the same as neglecting your duty, I wonder?

Well, I mean, since we're to protect our client,

we gotta make sure we don't get taken out first...
- I'm not gonna get taken out.

You sure are confident.

That's dangerous...

You're just trying to justify your own cowardice.

It's much more disadvantageous to protect than to attack.

I mean, look, we got no weapons and are powerless once we get shot or stabbed.

That's scary, isn't it?

Something funny?

That pose suits you.

Go ahead and be afraid all you want.

I'll be the one responsible that day anyway.

I can protect him fine all by myself.
Excuse me.

You sure this is the right job for you?

I mean, having fear,

it means you're working out strategies in order to avoid danger.

Not being afraid, however...

It makes you desperate and inflexible, I guess...

As for me...

Being paired with someone who isn't afraid, that's scary.

Six of us will serve as Minister Tachihara's bodyguards.

As for guards at the venue,

180 guards of the local riot police will be deployed.

Her attendance is no official business.

Deploying 180 man because of a prank, we gonna be the laughing stock.

There were no fingerprints on the letter, though.

Discarding it as merely a prank would be too risky.

I think it's a good idea.

The top will be delighted if we sell it as a favor for the party.

Right, Ochiai?

However, we're going to do it with our utmost effort, because if something were to happen,

we would all lose face.

All clear.

What a nuisance this has become, huh?

Some at the party headquarters are already voicing criticism as well.

Tachihara Aiko should resign already, they say.

Can you withdraw for today?

We'll be outside.

I sincerely apologize!
I will put an end to this.

You better clean this up until the start of the National Diet.

Introducing some pretty girl
who reads news into the political world,

I'll come under fire as well!

I know.
I'm not gonna get another chance.

I'll deal with this problem.

This is your "own responsibility" after all.

I'm Shimazaki of Hinode Security.

This is our security plan for the Sumida River Marathon.

Let me take a look.

We're in charge of sponsor Sasuke Foods' president.

Certainly.

I'm in charge of protection that day, the name's Ochiai.

- I'll take a look.
- Please, go ahead.

Minister Tachihara's...

Have we met somewhere before?

I'm sorry, I thought I happened to see you somewhere before.

This surely can't be your final plan, right?

No, it's our final plan.

Excuse me, but could you tell me what's wrong with it?

Please figure that out by yourselves.

We cannot cooperate with the private sector in case of a leak.

Just one advice,

are you guys even aware what it means to be unarmed?

This might sound rude,

but private bodyguard is just a fancy title for bouncers.

Nobody?

It's open.

(Minister)

Our client's position...

The meeting point...

An attack...

If she gets attacked with a machine gun or a bomb,

I might end up as collateral damage!

(Shooter)
(Angle of Fire 60°)

Not even 12 meters, huh?

In case of a bomb...

The elevator won't work...

Exit

Securing an escape route...

- A suspicious person!
- No, I'm not...

I'm not, I'm not!

I'm not, I swear.

Seriously,

being in the same trade, you of all people should know that this is trespassing.

Well, now this puts us in an awkward position.

I'm sorry, that... you know...
I wanted to preview the security...

- Your ID, just to make sure.
- I'm really sorry.

- Hurry up.
- Yes.

I'm sorry.

This... Why is this loose?

- That must have been awful.
- It's not a matter to laugh about.

It's been a rather painful on-site inspection, you know.

Right, well done.

- Here's your order.
- Thanks.

I'll go and share this with Takanashi.

About that...

He actually told me that he wants to resign.

He wants to resign?

As the main bodyguard, you mean?

No, from the private security division.

He said he wants to go back to CIT.

- All of a sudden?
- Yeah, I advised against it, though.

I wonder why...

Anyway, could you be the bodyguard and take lead this time?

Still, after getting through such a strict training,

for him to.... that easily.

(Japanese Self-Defense Force)

He used to be a JSDF official.

He has the knowledge and the ability,

so I thought he'd be eager to lead the team,

but I guess I was wrong.

Bodyguards may look cool and all that,

but it actually isn't that simple.

Most of the clients are rather peculiar.

Well, maybe it's for the better?

If it's his own wish.

So, what have you done before this?

Everyone in our company is a former something.

Maybe I should go first.

- You don't...
- I'm a former police officer.

- Sure you wanna tell me that?
- Yeah, I was a no-good officer anyway.

It had become more of a burden and I got frustrated.

In the end, it was too much for me and I joined a security firm instead.

And now I'm the head of private security.

Well, at the end of the day,
I guess I just like to protect people.

- Here.
- Thanks.

I was...

...a security guard at another security firm.

You actually got some guts,

so I've been wondering about that.

As expected of a former officer.
It's almost like an investigation...

I told you, I was a no-good officer.

Here, your phone.
I'll be waiting outside.

(Exclusive Interview: "I won't run away.")

(Mostly positive comments about her interview.)

Yes.

However, I don't think of it as a faux pas.

When talking about self-responsibility,

it does have the bad meaning of being on one's own...

Hello.

It's a fair article.

I'm glad you believed my words.

Will you be all right, though?

If that person gets offended by this and it comes to an attack,

it's gonna look bad for our company, too.

No way...

That's just a prank.

Can you say that with certainty?

Yes.

When I saw him quoting Shakespeare,

I knew he couldn't be serious.

Shakespeare...

You mean the letter?

Since you've been so fair,
I'm gonna tell you what it said first.

"Self-conceit is man's greatest enemy," it said.

How stupid, right?

Let's decide on the codewords.

The point of origin, entrance of officials is P1.

- The pathway is P2.
- Backstage is P3.

And so on.
Please memorize them.

Our main bodyguard this time, Shimazaki-kun is Zero-1.
I'm Zero-2.

- Then I'm Zero-3.
- I'm Zero-4.

Well, so...

Including the runners, there are expected

to be 16,000 people in the stadium today.

Let's concentrate on our individual positions and the client always comes first, yes...

- Are you nervous?
- Quite a bit.

You're kidding, right?

There isn't gonna be any attack whatsoever.

He's just as much of a coward as he's rich, that's all.

Sawaguchi-kun.

What do you call a false sense of security when facing an emergency?

- A normalcy bias.
- That's right.

There's always the chance of misjudging the possible danger.

Never forget that.

A healthy amount of tension can't hurt.

Yes, sir.

- No error.
- No error.

- No error.
- All of you, let's do this!

I'm in front of the Sumida Park Stadium.

There is a lot of attention due Minister Tachihara serving as a starter after a faux pas made her the target of a threat.

The organizers of the marathon

have reinforced their security measures more than usual.

Take a look. There are strict checks of everyone's bags.

Everyone's hoping for the event to conclude safely and without any incidents.

- I got this armband as well.
- Thank you very much.

I can close it up myself.
Thank you very much.

Point 6, all clear.
The press will get in after the minister.

Isn't that her?
It's her, it's her, it's her!

- What? It's not her!
- Who's that?!

They already checked it!
Hurry up, will ya!

Ishida-san, it's no use complaining to the guards.

- Please.
- You sure it's safe?

Yes, sir.

The president arrived at P1.
Entering Area 2.

Zero-2, copy!
Zero-3, copy!

- Are you really sure it's safe?!
- Yes!

You sure?!

Look, we're professionals, you can trust us...

If so, will you take a bullet for me?

A bullet?

It's a bodyguard's job to be a shield!
That's what I'm paying you for!

Sir.

He's rather slim, a bullet might go straight through him.

How about me instead?

That's the spirit.

No matter what, you have to protect my life.

Right, it's up to us to protect your life.
Please.

You lead.

We've arrived.

- The minister?
- It's the minister!

What's she waving for?

Does she even understand her position?

Look at her flashy outfit...

President, good morning.

There's no need.

Despite all the trouble, I'm grateful to have received this honor.

Oh?

You're that guardsman, right?

- Do you remember about me?
- Yes, I do.

- I'm grateful for what you did.
- Minister.

We're with Hinode Security Service.

Mura-san...

It's been a while.

We're on different sides,
but let's cooperate with each other.

Cooperate?

I'd rather not reminiscence about the past here.

Murata-san used to be with SP?

I thought only the best of the best can join the SP...

What's the matter?

Hello?

- Takanashi here.
- Now is a bad time...

I do have time for an excuse about giving up midway, though.

I'm not gonna apologize to you.

There's a posting about Minister Tachihara that got my attention.

A posting?

"Tachihara Aiko is a liar."

"I'll prove that self-conceit is man's greatest enemy."

What does it mean, she's a liar?

I don't know.

It's just that the police have never released the contents of the letter.

Only very few people, including us,
should know about it.

That's all.

We're only a few moments away from the start of the marathon.

The stadium is filled with enthusiasm and tension.

Thank you very much for your patience.

A liar...

Minister Tachihara is about to descend onto the ground. Be on alert.

Miss Tachihara, if you could come to the main gate, please.

Marathons were instituted in commemoration

of an ancient Greek soldier who ran in order to report of victory.

Upon running for more than 40 kilometers and finally arriving in Athens,

he breathed his last breath.

That's right.
A marathon is hard.

Just like all of you facing this contest,

I've also come here with the intention of challenging a harsh struggle.

I'd like to use this occasion

in order to apologize to all citizen about the misunderstanding

my remark has caused.

I also promise that I will devote myself fully for the sake of Japan.

Thereby I declare the start of the
18th Sumida River Citizen Marathon.

She's pretty amazing.
I bet her popularity is gonna skyrocket now.

What a conceited woman.

Hey, Kiyota.
It's the chief.

- You take over.
- Sure.

Where's my report!?

Nothing has happened as of now.

Taking command and expanding your position on such a pompous stage...

I'm sure you must feel great.

I should have called you.
Please apologize my lack of tact.

Minister...

What the?
There's smoke!

Please remain right here.
I'm getting confirmation.

Hey! That must have been a bomb!

A bomb!
I'm outta here...

It's dangerous here!
We better run!

Let's go.

No way, you serious?

Get the minister from Point 3 to 1!

- We need to get him out!
- It's dangerous! Everyone's rushing!

What are you doing!? Huh!?

Sir, we're on route to the parking lot.

Hey! Are you a professional or what?

I know!
You don't have to tell me that.

Minister, this way!

Move! Move!
Move!!

I've lost sight of the minister!

Sir...

You said that this event is near and dear to you, right?

I did!

But now that's all over...

I'm gonna check for additional explosives.

- Shimazaki-san...
- Get to R4 from Exit F,

down to the 1st floor, then north.

It's narrow, but you'll reach
Emergency Exit 8 after 25 meters.

Okay.

- Come...
- This way.

Please move!

Please make way!

What are you doing here?

The SP are looking for you!

That's none of your concern...

This... I apologize if I'm wrong.
Do you happen to know something?

Those clothes...

Not exactly the clothes of a person who is being threatened, right?

It makes you a nice target.

Could it be...

...that the letter is a lie?

I knew it.

You knew what?

Your backpack, where did you put it?

You had it with you when you got in here.

It was a smoke bomb.
A black backpack, 70 cm.

A black backpack?
Anyone who noticed someone at the entrance?

I have a client here as well.

It would be bad if another bomb was to go off.

I only want to request an interview.

She came here to give me an answer.
Am I right?

"You know who wrote the letter, don't you?"

"I'll be waiting in the training room."

(From Inukai to Tachihara)

Hey! Where are we going?
I don't wanna die!

Then come with us!

Get the car to P9.

Zero-3, on location.

Minister Tachihara, you used this event

in order to restore your popularity, right?

- Stop that.
- Outta my way...

Don't disturb us...

Minister, please answer me.

Get out of here!

- Stop it...!
- What the! You're such a pain!

Stop it!

That's enough, okay?

You son of a bitch...!

Let go!

Zero-1, the president safely made it to the car.
Awaiting orders.

Zero-1, do you copy?
We're awaiting orders.

Inukai!

Hands in the air!

If you wanna arrest someone, start with her!

The letter, it was all her doing.

Stop spouting such nonsense...

You told me something yesterday.

"Self-conceit is man's greatest enemy," it said.

How stupid, right?

You don't remember, do you?
Those words.

When you assumed your office,

I gave you those words.

In order to gain the people's trust,
self-conceit is a taboo.

Do your best. - Inukai

You've completely forgotten.

Otherwise you wouldn't have come up with such a letter.

That's enough!

Why did this woman do such a thing?

She wanted to act the part of the

dauntless Tachihara Aiko on the biggest stage possible.

That's why I made the lie become real.

I don't care about your speculation!

Come on, release the minister.

Minister...?

It was me who made her a minister.

This woman has become popular

because of all the articles I've written.
It's all thanks to me!

I think I deserve at least a few words of gratitude.

You betrayed me!

You're quite fond of her, huh?

What?

I'm not saying you're right, but...

Feeling betrayed means you had expectations, right?

It means you believed in her, right?

Shut up will ya...

You can't feel betrayed

unless you believe in someone.

It hurts, doesn't it...

Let go of...!
Get off me!

Get off me!

It's my duty as a journalist to convey the truth!

That's even more hilarious than your made-up story.

A journalist?
So much for being conceited.

Those...

Why did you come here?

I'm sorry, I lost my way...

Now you should be able to resume the event.

Excuse me.

That bodyguard, has he intentionally...

Intentionally?
What's that about?

Nothing.

You have my full cooperation
if there's anything you need to know.

There was no bomb.
I'm heading your way now.

Please wait.

It's my duty to make sure.

You're prohibited from disclosing anything you've heard just now

for the sake of the Minister Tachihara's privacy.
- Right, I know.

Also...

I do not approve of civilians doing personal security.

Money can't protect people.

This is no place for bouncers (youjinbou).

Do you know the meaning of the word youjinbou?

Powerful servants employed by

samurai and the mafia to finish off their enemies...

That isn't the original meaning.

Using a pole (bou) to defend (youjin) themselves from an adversary,

that's where the name comes from.

So what?

If it wasn't for you guys and your guns,

he wouldn't have taken out his knife.

By being unarmed and only using a pole...
No...

It is because we're unarmed

that we can protect people, don't you think?

Must be nice...

Doing and saying whatever you like as a civilian.

I'm sorry, that was self-important of me.

Excuse me.

At the Sumida River Citizen Marathon held today,

Inukai Sato, 34, reporter for a weekly magazine,

was arrested for attacking...

President.

For a moment I feared for my life, but all is well that ends well.

Thank you very much.

Rookie, I heard you played a big part?

- Not at all...
- Let me tell you,

he still has some way to go as a bodyguard.

He went off running around searching for bombs, slipped and got himself injured...

I'm very sorry about that.

However, it brought back memories

of the time we became a sponsor for the event.

Back then, I was bustling about just as frantically as you guys.

No regrets, even if I die, I guess.

The chicken-yuzu-shoyu flavor!

I'm not gonna retire anytime soon!

You'll hear from me if something comes up.

Since it's difficult to be your bodyguards,
let us renegotiate the fee next time.

My bad...

How rude of you!

- I'm sorry...
- No, no, it's fine, it's fine.

I'd like to say a few words.

What is it?

You really helped us there,

telling me about that posting.

- That's all.
- I got something, too.

I quit because I didn't want to work with you.

With a liar like you...

An explosion that happened

at the 18th Sumida Citizen Marathon, which attracted a lot of attention

due to Minister Tachihara Aiko serving as its starter,

caused quite a chaos today.
The explosive...

I got us some ramen.
Plenty of green onions, too.

I ate a pizza.

Here you go!

Getting us free food.
You sure are moving up.

- Thanks for the food!
- You're welcome.

How's being a bodyguard?

Right...

- Better than waving a stick, I assume.
- Yeah, but...

- It sure does hurt a lot, though.
- Does it now?

It's even better with green onions.

- Green onions, nice.
- You can never have enough.

It's delicious.

Tastes good.

Ouch...!

You gotta stretch 'em.

No, I just, you know, slipped...
