COURTHOUSE

The plaintiff's claim has been dismissed.

Shiba, you did it!

That was excellent, Shiba.

I've learned so many things from working with you on this case.

You've learned?

Yes.

I see. Leave this place at once.

Yes.

What?

If you're still a novice in training, you're not worthy of being my partner.

Oh, jeez.

COURTHOUSE

I, Ryoma Shiba, passed the bar exam with the highest score

while attending Tokyo University.

My home is based in Shibuya's redevelopment area.

After entering one of Japan's leading law firms, Oraculum Law Office,

I became a partner at 27 years old due to the number of complex cases I've won.

My goal is to establish a brand within the legal world called Ryoma Shiba.

PARTNER RYOMA SHIBA

I strive to become the Guardian of the Law every day.

This is the story of the lone-wolf lawyer Ryoma Shiba.

A serious legal drama that depicts his journey.

Or maybe not.

Ryo, you know you can't leave me.

This story's about me, a genius lawyer,

who gets toyed around by this mysterious, addictive puppy.

It is a legal drama and romantic thriller.

Congrats on your comeback win.

My colleague Kotaro Kazama is someone uninterested in the race for success,

a human rights lawyer who sticks to his own beliefs.

In short, he lives in a different world than me.

But Kazama is the next most proficient man after me at Oraculum.

These kinds of people tend to come in handy when the time comes.

Oh, Saki.

Do you wanna see my new lover?

Yes, I do!

Oh! He's hot!

Isn't he?

Yes, he's gay.

But I don't care about other people's sexual preferences.

By the way, that was your 99th victim this time, huh?

Leave this place at once.

Are you counting on purpose?

You do know what everyone calls you, right?

I see, so I'm finally being called by that name.

The one who carries the future of the legal world,

the Guardian of the Law.

The cold and merciless Ice King of the Law, right?

We live in a sensitive world these days, one of these days, you're gonna get sued.

I just need results.

That's all.

I can't send any more sacrifices to you.

The 100th one,

you can find on your own, someone who you'll be satisfied with.

There's plenty out there.

UTOKYO 2019 GRADUATE LAWYERS

-ANYONE WANNA WORK WITH ME? -NOT NOW

SORRY

I CAN'T

-MAYBE NEXT TIME! -WHO'D WANNA WORK WITH THAT COLD GUY?

USER UNSENT A MESSAGE

Even without a 100th partner, I can manage all the cases I currently have by myself.

Why? Because I am the Guardian of the Law,

Ryoma Shiba!

Ouch!

I apologize.

Hmm?

I'm bleeding.

T-This is a hundred percent my fault.

I can't believe myself, what a screw-up!

Now, in order to get out of this mess…

This is for you. Please use it.

What?

I can have it?

This is Hermis, right?

You sure?

Of course.

When people find they can benefit from the other, they won't attack them.

Humans are such foolish and ridiculous creatures.

What is it?

Um…

Yes?

You're real kind.

Thanks, Mister.

Felix.

Jeez, you were that thirsty?

You look so dirty.

Themis, I'll clean you if you stay put.

There is no such thing as romance in my life.

But there are times I want stress relief.

That's where these little guys come in.

Here's a special massage.

How is it, Roy?

Doesn't it feel good?

When I'm doing this,

I can hear the voices of my succulents.

Is that so?

You're happy to be with me?

Thanks, Mister.

Why did that guy's voice just…

Hmm?

Hey, don't be stupid.

There's no way I'm interested in him.

You're real kind.

My mind has been corrupted.

This calls for…

I make time to calm my soul and empty my mind.

This time is necessary for me to become the Guardian of the Law.

Why?

Meat eaten in the wild is delicious,

but a protein bar eaten in the wild is exquisite too.

No way!

So we meet again, Mister.

What is this? An illusion?

What?!

I'm not an illusion.

I was invited by an acquaintance and I'm visiting a vacation home nearby.

It's a big coincidence to meet each other again.

Maybe this is destined to be.

Huh? What are you saying?

Your logs are piled weirdly.

You gotta think of the airflow.

Hey, don't touch.

Is this your first time camping?

No.

Then your second time?

Third time?

Fourth?

Fifth time?

Sixth?

Seventh?

Eighth? Ninth?

Tenth!

Eleventh.

Hmm.

So it's your eleventh time.

I haven't said anything.

Mister, you don't look it, but you're very awkward.

How cute.

Don't tease me.

Please, have some.

How is it?

As expected of an A5-rank premium meat. It's good no matter who cooks it.

Right.

No, this is exquisitely grilled.

I've never had such exquisite meat even at a high-end restaurant.

Who on earth is this guy?

Mister, who are you?

Huh?

There's no way you're a regular office worker.

Your meat and camping gear are all top class too.

Can I guess it?

You're a lawyer.

Your badge? It's not on you.

You…

How did I know?

I can read peoples' minds.

Because I'm psychic.

Yes?

Oh, all right. Yes.

I'll come back right away. Yes.

Then I'll see you, Mister.

I'm sure we'll see each other again.

Bye!

This is so good.

I've finally regained some peace.

This is what's great about solo camping.

It's fantastic.

Mister, you don't look it, but you're very awkward.

How cute.

I'm sure we'll see each other again.

We'll see each other again?

There's no way that would…

You!

Shh! Stay quiet!

Haruto?

Hey!

Haruto!

Um, hello?

Yes.

Pardon me.

Um, have you seen Haruto?

Haruto?

Um, he's a boy wearing white pajamas.

No, I haven't.

Really? I wonder where he went.

Thank you!

Um…

Excuse me!

Can I help you?

I think I just smelled Haruto.

What?

Maybe it was just me.

Yes.

Pardon me.

Jeez, so persistent.

I feel relieved, I'm sleepy now.

Hey, what are you doing?

I'll explain tomorrow, so let me sleep.

No!

It's so warm.

Get out!

Hey, Mister.

Thanks for keeping me hidden.

I knew you were kind.

I must kick him out immediately.

Wait, but I do owe this guy.

Ouch!

I injured him at the bar, he lit a fire for me,

and he cooked my meat.

Fine then.

It's to repay him.

What?

The car…

I must get back to my normal life as soon as possible.

I can just buy a new car again.

No, I'm not acting tough about it.

That coffee stain on my seat was bothering me anyway.

It was time to trade it in.

Hmm?

-I know, hold on-- -Welcome home, Mister.

I've always wanted to ride a luxury car. It felt nice.

You…

Hey, Mister, let me live here with you.

Huh?

And by the way, I can become your 100th partner too.

How do you know about that?

You mentioned it at the bar.

Oh yeah. Look at what I took.

Maybe I should upload this.

By the way, I have about 130,000 followers on Xgram.

You…

Who on earth are you?

Now who do you think I am?

I was tricked!

The property in the contract didn't exist,

and just my money disappeared!

It was these people!

-Say "ah." -Stop it!

My housekeeper Haruto.

You want me to look up this case?

Ryo, I'm your 100th partner…

and I'll be your first lover.
