Did you know? They say the person who catches the bouquet thrown by the bride

will be the next to get married.

That's why catching the bouquet is the dream of all young women.

But in your case, since you'd be the bridegroom...

You were saying?

Great! It's coming this way!

My word! It's going to be my turn to be the bride next time.

I'm so happy!

You really humiliated yourself.

It's against the rules for a guy to catch the bouquet. I can't believe it.

But maybe if a guy gets it, a bride comes to him or something.

What in the world?

A bride really fell into my hands.

You've got to get out of here fast! Hurry!

But the traffic light is...

What's going on here?

I'm sorry! I'm being chased by some bad characters.

She's beautiful.

Yikes! We're exposed!

Ryo, do something!

Can you?

No problem.

But only if you promise to marry me in exchange.

This is no time to be making jokes.

Okay, okay! I'll marry you, or whatever you want.

Just do something!

Okay!

What was that guy doing with a gun?

Okay, that takes care of that. Shall I take the wheel now?

Who are you?

You must be lucky falling into this car like that.

Why do you say that?

Because this car happens to belong to me, the guy known as the City Hunter.

You're that mokkori sexual maniac guy?

She says she's Kazue Natori, an immunologist.

A scientist? That beautiful lady?

She said she used to be a researcher at Tokyo University. That's all I know.

We will find out more in the morning. Got it? I want you to sleep outside.

I can read you like a book.

What do you mean outside? You mean...

I feel so sorry for her. She must really be exhausted.

I don't imagine she'll wake up until tomorrow morning.

I'm going to hold you to your promise.

We're getting married tonight, right?

That's right! This is our first night together.

What's this? A test tube stuck in her cleavage?

Looks like there's something moving inside, but I can't tell in the dark.

Ryo, how could you?!

What's up, Kaori?

Ryo, how did your nose get like that?

I was stung by a bee. Is it my fault?

A bee?

I hope you don't mean by a bee from the test tube!

Yes, only one got out. It stung me, and there it is, dead.

Oh, no! You could die!

It's just a bee. Take it easy.

It's not JUST a bee.

It's a killer bee that was developed as a type of biological weapon.

Once you're stung total paralysis follows, and then your heart...

No, no, no! Please save me!

I have great ambitions and goals left to fulfill!

That's right! Don't die, Ryo! There's so much left for you to accomplish!

Exactly! A noble ambition to make love to all the women of the world!

Is that all you can come up with?!

I do have an anti-venom with me.

I'm saved.

However, this anti-venom is not yet perfected.

There are side effects.

Side effects? You mean an upset stomach or something?

No, it's...

What's going on? All of a sudden I feel...

Kaori, I need you to get these as soon as possible.

Somehow I've got to finish developing the anti-venom.

Kazue, are you up?

Good morning, Kazue!

My word, what an attractive, tiny waist you have! I'm so jealous!

I've just got to diet more.

I'm so embarrassed! Don't look!

Let's see, one research-type, chemical experiment set,

one dozen test tubes, and one used personal computer.

That's everything.

Oh, this is heavy. Ryo, how about a little help?!

I'm sorry. I'm just no good when it comes to manual labor.

Yuck! Side effects with a vengeance!

I... I mean... I don't like it anymore than you do.

But my body is making me do it. Terrible side effects!

I can't stand it!

This bee is the product of manipulation by Yotagawa Industries Biochemical

in an effort to develop a species with frighteningly toxic venom.

But what are you doing with it?

I stole it from the mansion of Eiji Yotagawa,

the chairman of Yotagawa Industries.

Wearing a wedding dress?

Yes, there was no other way.

I got close to Yotagawa's son so I could get to the bees.

I learned that the research lab for the bees was located in Yotagawa's mansion.

However, Yotagawa's girl-crazy son was smitten by me immediately,

and to my surprise asked me to marry him.

When I learned that the ceremony was to be held in the chapel at the mansion,

I accepted.

I accepted,

because it was the best way to gain entrance without arousing suspicion.

But why go to such lengths to get the bees?

Because the person responsible for developing the bees was my fiancé.

My fiancé, a biochemist, aided in the development of the bees

unaware of their true function as weapons of murder.

Once he realized the truth, he made plans to take a copy of the R&D records

to a newspaper reporter in an attempt to halt the program, but he never made it.

He had sent me the partially completed anti-venom along with some data.

I felt compelled to complete the work on the anti-venom he had begun.

But as it turns out, you were discovered stealing the bees.

You're dealing with a huge corporation you know? If you go to the police...

I know. But without hard evidence, I'm sure it will just be covered up.

And for the sake of his reputation,

these bees must be eliminated before they become public knowledge.

Kazue Natori is in that one, right?

Right, no mistake.

Big corporations and their information networks sure are great.

You didn't waste any time did you?

You...

Old Ryo is here to make certain you don't get any further.

Go ahead and take him out!

What was that sound?

You gotta be kiddin'!

If you did make off with her,

I would have no choice but to become Lady Hunter.

Tell your boss for me when you get back.

Tell him I promise to thank him later for what he did to my body!

Somehow, I get the feeling that the feminine Ryo is the more extreme.

Way to go, Ryo!

Seeing you in action with such a serious expression is a first for me.

This time at least I am very serious.

With my body like this, I just don't feel like living in my usual shameless manner.

I like it. Keep it up!

You'll be a big hit as Mr. Serious-no-Mokkori-Sweeper.

The anti-venom is now perfected.

You can now have your revenge.

But...

I'll never see you again.

You made this anti-venom for my sake.

Now, it's my turn. I'm going to protect you,

and what's more, I'm going to wipe out the whole program.

But I don't want to cause you any more trouble.

It's okay. I alone must be the one to protect my bride. Right?

Saeba...

Just listen to him.

Be careful. The more serious he sounds, the dirtier his thoughts are.

Do you mind?

It's hard for me to talk to you freely with Kaori around.

She's got this phobia connected to guys. Her impression of me is all distorted.

What's he mean phobia?!

I'm just waiting for him to make a mokkori move!

You're thinking about your fiancé, aren't you?

But I wish you wouldn't wear a wedding dress for someone who's dead.

What I'm saying may sound cruel to you now, but it's how I really feel.

Saeba...

I want to be your anti-venom.

An anti-venom that allows you to forget the sadness of your past.

When this is all over, I'd like you to be able to love someone again.

It's after his little act that he always makes his move though.

You stayed up all night, didn't you? You should rest. Thanks.

Saeba...

What?

No way! Ryo didn't try anything!

What's going on?

Papa, don't go killing Kazue or anything now.

Of course not, such a beautiful woman. It would be a waste.

What I mean is,

if we can recover the bees she stole, I have no intention of killing her.

Then you can do what you want with her.

Kazue, just wait and see what you get later for doing what you did!

What a pervert you are. As your father, I am ashamed.

Hey, Dad, what are you thinking?

The same thing as you.

Dad, you're the perverted one.

I'm kidding! Just kidding!

What a pervert you are. As your son, I am ashamed.

The perverted father and son...

Even without hearing what you are saying,

believe me I know exactly what you are thinking.

People should avoid being like that.

What? She's working on an anti-venom, you say?

Yes, it appears her motive in getting close to Naoya was to obtain some bees.

This is not a problem.

If we sell the bees and the anti-venom as a set, we can make even more money.

We catch her, and get her to tell us how to make the anti-venom.

But how best to proceed...

Papa!

Gather more men!

I don't care how strong he is, he's just one guy.

I want him taken care of tonight in one fell swoop.

Ryo, how long do you plan on keeping Kazue here?

It's dangerous. They already know about this place.

You're right. This time it will be different.

This time the boss will come in person leading a large number of his henchmen.

Then we can't just sit around here doing nothing.

We've got to get out of here now.

If we leave now, it's just like we're asking to be caught.

Do it!

To the second floor! They have to be in here somewhere!

He's a clever one!

Where...

Passion

Passion

Boss, we can't find them anywhere.

What? That's impossible. The place is totally surrounded.

Not even a mouse could sneak by us!

All right, search from top to bottom with a fine-toothed comb if you have to!

Right!

Okay, marathon-time is over.

We should be okay here.

Bringing a bazooka makes sense to me,

but what good is running around down here doing us?

Okay, if we climb up there, where do you think we'll come out?

We'll come out right in front of Yotagawa's mansion, that's where.

We go in now, and destroy all of the bees.

That's why I tricked them into coming to my place.

That's crazy! Security around the mansion is very tight.

Boss, here's where they went.

They escaped us, did they?

Stop! You'll get no further!

This is the best way to make a courtesy call to a mansion like this.

What? They've penetrated the compound? Damn him! He planned this!

And what are those men in security doing about it?

They all ran away.

Those cowards! Hurry! Their objective is the bees!

Wow, just look at them.

Okay, then. Now all we have to do is destroy them.

How?

That does it.

Now, a little tweak on the dial for the plastic explosives, and a lake of fire.

Here you go.

You should be the one to do this.

We're too late.

Kazue!

How dare you make a fool of me?!

Wait!

She's gone.

Search the adjoining room!

What's going on?

Boss, they're locked! They won't open!

Papa, these too! We're locked in!

What's that sound?

Ow! Ow! Ow!

What a bunch of dummies! They're just honey-bees.

But they'll get a good taste of the fear that comes from killer bees.

And with that blaze, Kazue, you can also say good-bye to your sad memories.

Ryo's really in top form today.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Ryo, what's wrong?

I don't know. My body is overflowing with energy.

This is it! That mokkori love power that had deserted me for a time!

Kazue!

Yes?

This means you and I will finally get to spend that night together!

Okay, quick, quick, let's go home! Let's go home!

Ryo!

According to my calculations,

it required approximately twelve hours for the side effects to disappear.

In other words, a kind of equilibrium has been reached over the last half day.

The revenge of the mokkori man, so to speak.

I had intended to go to America after this was over.

You were going to go there together after you were married, weren't you?

That's right. But now I don't really want to leave Japan.

That's how I feel.

It's like you said.

I'm staying because I'd rather wear my wedding dress for someone alive, Saeba.

But I need some more time.

I won't say goodbye.

The next time we meet, I'll be a brand-new Kazue. I'm sure of it.

I wonder if that meant she fell in love with Ryo?

Ryo, congratulations on your hospitalization.

What the... Who is it that broke my leg to begin with?

But this job's right up your alley. Yoshimi's taking care of you, isn't she?

Round-the-clock supervision! Morning, noon, and night we're together.

But Yoshimi's always goofing up, and being with her can be a challenge.

For all that, you look happy to me.

Yoshimi's so pretty, you know?

See you then!
