Our family is a little strange.

All 3 siblings graduated from Todai.

My brother is a genius surgeon.

My sister is a super skilled lawyer.

I am an elite police officer.

My father is the headmaster of a privileged private middle school.

My mother died a long time ago.

In the last 20 years, Koiwai is our butler.

Recently, Kusunoki-kun joined us as an apprentice butler.

This winter has been a continuous scene of carnage.

Someone took naked photos of me

Someone used the naked photos to blackmail my father.

John!

What if we replace him with a similar looking dog!

The Director's beloved dog running off almost got my brother fired

Koiwai is addicted to maid cafes.

Being seen suspiciously leaving a maid cafe,

our butler Koiwai offered to resign.

Every time there is a crisis, I took a big risk to slightly break the law

in order to calm the situation.

That was all done for our family's happiness

and for me to be recognized by them as a member of the family.

However, my hard work did not bear any fruit

For my sister, comparing to me, her own brother,

she cares more about Kusunoki, the apprentice butler.

If this continues, I am worried that he will take over this family.

Where are you going? I am having dinner with Minister Nakatani and the chairman of his campaign.

Again? Lately, you have been meeting with them a lot.

We are discussing the strategy for the next election.

- I want to talk to you about a matchmaking meeting. - I have no interest.

- Can't you just meet him and see how it goes? - I don't have free time.

The other party is very interested.

I am sorry but I refuse.

Is there another man?

There isn't but...there is someone I am interested in.

- That minister? - No!

I do not date people I work with.

- Well then, who is it? - I will tell you when the time is right.

See you later.

- Oh, Shusaku. - Yes.

Do you know who Chiaki is interested in?

Eh? Uh no...I did not hear anything.

I see.

No no no... How is that possible!

Sorry, excuse me!

What is that now?!

Why is there a tattoo on Kusunoki's back?

Welcome home, master!

You come back again!

Is there a girl called Koiwai working a shift today?

- You mean Fumiyo-chan? - Yes yes, her.

She quit yesterday.

I see. It's good to get a confirmation.

Eh? You are leaving already?

Silly! Of course I am not leaving.

- That is great! - Welcome home!

I am back!

I have been saying this to Nakatani kun over and over again.

The best strategy for the election is to get married.

This will generate widespread support during the election campaign.

Especially among female voters, since they like to check out

the candidate's wife properly as well, right?

If you find a good bride

it is beneficial to your election campaign.

I also want to get married as soon as possible.

It is just hard to find the right person.

Kitazawa-san.

Is this something you can manage?

I don't mind introducing you to some of my friends...

I am not talking about your friends... I mean you.

Eh? Me?

You know what kind of man Nakatani-kun is.

More than anything, since his first term as a member of the parliament

you have been acting as the brains behind his policies and have continually supported him.

I am just doing what is prescribed by my job.

Nakatani-kun, what do you think?

Eh? Ah no... that

It is a waste for such an attractive woman to be with me...

As the brains behind your policies,

- I absolutely advise against this proposal. - Why is that?

The ideal candidate's wife is a "good wife", someone who looks after the home and always supports her husband.

They are looking for a more reserved woman.

I am the exact opposite of that ideal.

- I don't really think... - Let me analyze this for you.

If you marry me, you have a 5% chance of winning the re-election.

This is 60% lower than if you run for re-election as a single man.

Ah, no...

Is it ok if I get another order of meat?

The first thing that come to mind about the tattoo is organized crime (yakuza)!

After all, a man in that "profession" has hidden his identity and infiltrated our home.

He must be up to no good.

No way, Big Sis is

enamored with such a dangerous man.

I knew something was wrong with Kusunoki the moment he came to our home.

Some day, I am going to rip off that mask.

He may look like a girl as he is embroidering

but behind that facade, he is a wolf with a tattoo hidden on his back.

Is there anything I can do for you?

We need to have a proper chat!

Go in there!

You know...

Yes.

Aaahhh...!

Put down the scissors! Close the door!

You are hiding something!

- What? I am hiding something? - It is no use to feign innocence!

Who do you think I am? I am a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police!

I won't let you say that you have no clue what I am talking about!

I understand. I will speak honestly.

It is going to come out either way.

I want you to explain properly in your own words!

Actually...

Chiaki-san kissed me.

What did you say?

She was a bit drunk at the time

I don't think she remembered...

- That... that really happened? - Yes.

- When? Where?! - 3 days ago in the living room.

That night, in the middle of the chess game, it suddenly happened...

If a person is focused on a target, when a bigger target appears, he will get confused.

Like if someone was chasing an underwear thief and suddenly

a 300 million yen criminal appeared to turn himself in,

anyone would be bewildered in that situation.

Or say if someone was hunting a boar

and a brown bear appeared in front of him, he wouldn't know what to do!

The carp tattoo is a small matter.

My sister's kiss is the 300 million yen brown bear!

Eh... could it be that you were not asking about this?

I wanted to hear your explanation about your back...

Ah! The tattoo?

- It's no laughing matter! - I got it when I was young.

In the past, I was a delinquent.

Eh? You are just going to say that to humour me?

I don't mean to give you an excuse,

but I have never done anything illegal.

Are you mocking me?

Did you do something that is against the law?

Enough talk about me!

I told Koiwai-san in the first interview.

In the final interview, I showed it to Master as well.

He accepted it.

Dad knew about it and was OK with it?

He said something very touching.

"Who hasn't done something stupid in the past.

I won't use the tattoo as a reason not to hire you", he said.

Ha ha~!

My dad did not really mean it!

It is because you have a carp tattoo, that's why he is OK.

What do you mean by that?

My dad is a massive fan of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp*

*baseball team

As a Carp fan, he sees carp as a lucky charm.

No... it is not too much to say that he sees it as an object of worship.

If he didn't hire you, then he was worried that Carp's ranking

might be affected.

Ah...! That's why when he saw it

he was laughing so hard! Haha...

Does Big Sis know about your tattoo?

No. She probably doesn't know about it.

So, why the heck did she kiss you?!

Really, when I came to realization, I saw her face in front of me...

Normally in that kind of moment, you would duck, right?

I can't do such a thing in my position.

Eh? Because you are a butler?

So what? Will you do anything I ask you to do?!

That is the resolve I brought

with me when I took this job.

So, where did she kiss you?

You... You don't mean...!

- Not on the mouth! - Eh? Cheek? Forehead?

Eh? Where is it then?! Tell me clearly!

Well...

- It's the chin. - Chin?

She was coming straight at my mouth

I was prepared and was waiting for it

Then suddenly, she dropped like a stone

*a sinking pitch in baseball

- and changed direction like a forkball* - Forkball?

Just like Nagakawa (Katsuhiro) during his peak.

It's OK. Please don't use a Carp player as an analogy!

I thought it would be easier to imagine.

I am talking seriously with you!

Matsuya? Matsuya, where are you?

It looks like Chiaki-san has come home.

- You should go! - Then, please excuse me.

Yes! I am coming~!

Welcome home!

This has the smell of grilled meat.

- Can you send it to the cleaners? - Of course.

Well, the chairman of Nakatani-san's campaign had said some strange things

- so I am quite tired. - You have worked hard.

Would you like to take a bath?

- Yeah, that sounds good. - I will prepare one.

Hey, after I take a bath, do you want to play a game of chess?

Certainly.

- Would you like some wine? - Just a glass of red. I have to work tomorrow.

Yes.
