BG: Personal Bodyguard (BG〜身辺警護人〜)

Why bodyguard of all things?

Shimazaki Akira

Hinode Security Service - Personal Security

It's not worth working your ass off only to end up dead one day.

That may be right.

You're not even listening...

From Murata Goro: We got an urgent request, everyone gather.

Now?

I got an urgent request, so I'm off now.

How long you gonna fiddle with your phone? Lock the door.

Take a bath! I know you haven't for two days.

You won't get a girlfriend that way.

I don't need no girlfriend.

Kanon-chan...!

I love her!

I'm sorry for summoning you so late.

It was my first date in a while...

I just took a cold beer out of the fridge!

Sawaguchi Seitaro

Hinode Security Service - Personal Security

That's the worst!

Suganuma Mayu

Hinode Security Service - Personal Security

There's gonna be a night bonus, right?

Murata Goro

Hinode Security Service - Chief of Personal Security

Bringing up the money talk out of nowhere.

There he is...

Ugh! You were serious about him?

Yes, he's back on the team as of now.

The chief told me that my experience is needed

Takanashi Masaya

Hinode Security Service - Personal Security

and I accepted the request.

That's great.

I've been meaning to team up with you.

I mean, look, after throwing the towel just before

the marathon the other day...

- What? - I didn't expect that.

Being bodyguards is all about team play.

And being a good team means experiencing hardships together.

Let's all get along.

That said, our job this time.

No way!? It's Kanon!

I'm coming! I mean, I'm gonna do it.

What? You usually chicken out, though.

No, no, no... I can't just stay put!

I'm a huge fan!

Being her assistant or carrying her luggage,

I'll do anything! I would risk my life for her!

Sawaguchi-kun, I'm sorry, but it's not her who needs bodyguards.

Our client this time is...

100 million Yen.

Can you give us more details?

It's Kanon's bonus.

I see... her bo...

- 100 million Yen!? - Yeah.

She suddenly wants to retire.

I tried to persuade her to keep going until the end of her contract and she slipped away.

- Anyway, go ahead and have a seat. - Thank you.

She just disappeared without a word?

It's a real shame.

After everything I've done...

I can't just have her ruin her career now,

so I eventually got in touch with her.

And then she cunningly said,

"Bring me 100 million Yen and I will come back."

And you'll do as she says?

That's a lot of money.

I know it's a lot, that's why I hired bodyguards.

I don't usually carry around 100 million like that.

Any special reason you're doing this?

The day after tomorrow, there is going to be the announcement of a movie.

It's her precious starring role.

I absolutely have to get her back by tomorrow!

Very well.

We will make sure you can deliver those 100 million Yen without any problems.

We haven't introduced ourselves. I'm Takanashi, I'm in charge here.

I'm Shimazaki.

You can be at ease, I'm experienced in transporting valuables.

I'm going to handcuff you to the bag.

Pardon me.

Ochiai Yoshiaki

MPD - Security Bureau

Minister, how do you explain this?

You don't have to get so angry...

You sneaked out off your home without telling the guard, right?

Yes. I thought it would be bad to bring him with me,

since I it was a private matter.

Aren't you just trying

to make me look bad, so I get fired?

I mean, wasn't it the same at the marathon, when you ran away from me?

Tachihara Aiko

Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare

Not at all...

You're doing great.

You're almost too good.

- Really? - Yes.

So, could you please wait outside for a moment?

I have to properly apologize to Ochiai-san here.

Understood.

It should be obvious now. Why I can't possibly trust Kiyota-san.

I'm very sorry.

An excessive sense of duty often results in becoming too emotional.

I'll make sure to talk to him.

Ochiai-san...

I don't need you as my bodyguards anymore.

You have probably sensed it already,

but I'm at a critical point in my career as a politician.

I've had many crucial moments in my life,

but this time it's different.

Being surrounded by SP 24/7 and bad compatibility are exhausting me.

I've requested for a private bodyguard.

- A civilian? - Yes.

The one I met at the Sumida River Marathon, Shimazaki-san.

I asked for him personally and they gratefully accepted my request.

That's absurd.

He's not much better than a mere security guard.

You can't protect an important person without weapons.

Your subordinate didn't exactly look good either

when he didn't notice me sneaking off.

Politicians are lonely.

Especially female politicians.

Unlike an arrogant SP working for the state,

it would be much friendlier to have a private bodyguard.

What I need right now is such an affectionate bodyguard.

Yes.

We're on the Shuto Expressway, passing Shiomibashi.

What's your ETA?

Unclear, since we don't know our destination.

You don't know?

He will get a call once we're in Hachioji.

I'll notify you as soon as we know.

Copy that.

What the hell is going on?

Ugh! Those two are already in a quarrel?

Why suddenly make them work together?

Nah, I think they make a great pair.

How so? They're not compatible at all.

Hold on. It's not those two who are making me worried,

it's the fact that there is no clear destination.

Not to mention the 100 million Yen. Doesn't it feel strange?

No, I totally agree.

For Kanon to demand 100 million,

she would never do such a greedy thing.

What does a simple fan know anyway?

No, I mean... Look, in all of her interviews,

she says that she wants love over money.

She always says that she wants to become a good wife.

Don't be a fool. She's selling herself.

Selling herself? Kanon isn't some merchandise.

Whatever, get back to work.

You don't know a damn thing about Kanon.

Sir, we left at the North Hachioji Interchange.

Keep driving around here until I get a call from Kanon.

Weren't you supposed to get contacted once we're in the vicinity.

No, I'm supposed to wait for her to call.

What?

Just one moment.

- Let's abandon the mission. - What? How come?

Maybe you haven't noticed,

but he's hiding something.

Transporting a large amount of money with no mutual trust is dangerous.

But we've already accepted to do it.

It's irresponsible to abandon it halfway through.

- What's with the secret little chatting? - No, we're just prepping.

Sir, why the cash money?

Why not transfer the money or give her a check?

Why taking the risk of doing it in cash?

There's the matter of taxes

and I'm worried she might change her mind.

Cash is tangible and immediately ready to use.

I've been doing this my whole life.

Now I understand. That explains the old bills.

I mean, if you got the 100 million from the bank, there usually would be some new bills,

but those were all old bills.

That definitely makes it more real.

You're right. That's exactly why.

Show business is about real money.

Yes, it's me. Bando.

Where are you right now?

Nakasebashi Park.

You haven't told the police, have you?

I would never do that.

It's wise you don't.

All right, come to the event venue inside the Tama Sopping Mall in 20 minutes.

Please get me to the Tama Shopping Mall.

Sir.

Forgive me if I'm wrong.

Has Kanon-san been kidn...?

Yesterday at noon

I got a call from the kidnapper.

"I have Kanon."

"Pay 100 million Yen and I will return the good unharmed."

- Return the good? - I'm calling the police.

Please wait.

The kidnapper said he's going to kill Kanon if I tell the police.

Kidnapped?
