Episode 4

Living Together

Kaoru-sama.

Em!

I will leave the Sakuraba, too!

I want to be with you, even if it means throwing everything away.

So please.

Please take me as your wife and utter marital vow with me!

What should I do?

I said something really outrageous.

What did Kaoru-sama think?

Did he think I was a woman with no morals?

But I had decided long ago that Kaoru-sama would be the person I'd become one with.

That everything, mental and physical, would become his.

My body, my soul...

everything.

Is it all right?

Will Kaoru-sama accept me?

I'll do my best.

I am going to be his wife, after all.

Kaoru-sama?

Um...

Kaoru-sama.

Kaoru-sama?

Kaoru-sama?

Huh?

Oh, sorry.

I kinda felt dizzy.

You have such a fever!

Goodness!

I'm all right. See.

All right...

Kaoru-sama!

Kaoru-sama!

Thank you, Aoi-chan.

It is all my fault.

I apologize.

Because of me, Kaoru-sama.

That's not true.

I feel really calm just having you at my side.

I'm really happy.

Kaoru-sama!

I will wipe off the sweat, so stay just like that.

It's okay. I can do it myself.

Do not hesitate and leave everything to me, Kaoru-sama.

S-Sorry.

It's not a pleasant sight, is it?

Aoi-chan?

I will take my time and heal all the wounds you have suffered.

So please, let me stay by your side.

I promise I will never leave you.

Yeah.

Thanks, Aoi-chan.

Kaoru-sama, are you cold?

Yeah, a little.

Kaoru-sama, can you look the other way for just a moment?

S-Sure.

A-Aoi-chan!

You cannot, Kaoru-sama!

P-Please, do not look.

S-Sorry.

This is about all that I can do.

Are you warm?

Yeah.

I can feel her warmth.

I can hear his heartbeat.

How are you feeling now, Kaoru-sama?

Yeah, I'm feeling much better.

Huh!

Good, your fever seems to have subsided, too.

She surprised me.

Is something the matter, Kaoru-sama?

Eh! Ah, nothing.

I guess this is all because you physically stuck it out to nurse me.

Eh!

Physically?

I mean, see, we both fell asleep after that.

And that's why my cold got a lot better. Yeah, that's it.

Oh, Kaoru-sama!

You should lay down a while longer.

So cute...

Is this what a honeymoon feels like?

What's wrong, Aoi-chan?

So you were here, after all.

Mother.

Mother?

What is the meaning of this, Aoi?

What in the world are you thinking?

Not listening to Miyabi and not coming home!

That talk of marrying a Hanabishi is treated as if it had never happened.

You are not your usual self.

Explain to me exactly what you are thinking right now.

Aoi-chan...

I could not...

Aoi-sama?

I just could not bring myself to forget about Kaoru-sama.

I feel bad about leaving without permission and worrying you.

Then...

However!

I finally understand now, after coming here that my life, up until now, has been very fortunate.

I re-acknowledge my gratitude to both you and Father.

However...

I have found something precious here that I cannot let go.

Something precious?

To stay by Kaoru-sama's side.

To do everything I can for him.

To live together with him.

I have found my happiness here, as Kaoru-sama's wife.

What are you saying?

Aoi-sama, you are Sakuraba-

She used to be so obedient,

and so frail.

Aoi-sama!

Let us go home, Miyabi.

My lady...

Aoi, you as well.

Mother, I...

Won't you eventually be inconvenienced as you are now?

You should come home first and prepare.

Then start your new life.

I will talk to your father for you.

So, don't worry.

Mother, then I...

Aoi.

You have matured.

Mother...

Ai Yori Aoshi

Kaoru-sama!

Uh!

I am back, Kaoru-sama.

Welcome back, Aoi-chan.

What? Is something on my face?

I have not been able to see your face for a while.

Ah, huh...

Finally... we can be together.

Yeah.

But we'll be living in a small room, so it might be kinda tough.

No.

I have you, Kaoru-sama.

That is enough.

N-Nothing's here.

Why?

Kaoru-sama, what in the world is this?

I have been waiting for you.

Miyabi-san!

This is a summer home of the Sakurabas.

It hasn't been used in quite a long time,

but you will now be using this mansion as your new home.

What a wonderful Western-style mansion!

I am pleased you find it charming.

I have always wanted to live in a Western-style mansion!

I'm getting pretty excited about this...

And your belongings have been placed over there, Kaoru-dono.

Over there?

Um, is it really here?

Please, bear with the odds and ends.

This is to prevent a Sakuraba scandal.

A scandal?

Right.

While exiled from the Hanabishis

and no ties to the Sakurabas, he become the heir,

an opposing force will surely present itself.

If that occurs, the Sakuraba Group will be torn apart.

To ensure this won't leak the outside world,

do your utmost to refrain from careless behavior.

Understood?

If that's the case, we have no choice.

Also, I will be personally taking care of everything in your lives.

Then...

You'll be with us, Miyabi-san?

I said you could live with Aoi-sama,

but I never said alone!

T-That's true.

In any case, I will have both of you follow everything that I say.

All right?

Y-Yes...

This is much different from the life I expected.

Now, let us start with moving into the new residence.

Right, Kaoru-sama?

That's true.

Then, first...

Kaoru-dono, you have work over here.

Heh!

Wait...

M-Miyabi-san!

Um...

Wipe down every corner of the living room floor, please.

Oh, my...

Places like that really need a man's hand to clean.

I'm gonna fall!

Do be careful.

You want me to carry all of these?

It's a bother that so much lays useless when a house is left unattended.

My, if you are that weak what will you do if something should happen to Aoi-sama?

Take that!

What an idiot.

To think Aoi-sama would choose someone like him,

I definitely refuse to accept it!

It's hot...

What's wrong, Miyabi-san?

Your face is red. Did you catch a cold?

N-Nothing is wrong.

Look out!

Y-Y-You...

Heh!

beast!

Why did it end up like this?

I haven't even cleaned up my own room...

And it was the first day of my new life, too.

Oh, Kaoru-sama!

I am almost finished cleaning your room.

It's all right, Aoi-chan.

I can do the rest.

I can do this much, as well.

Ah!

I was always dreaming of something like this.

I am sort of happy that it turned out just like that.

Dreaming?

Yes.

Cleaning places with you,

going shopping with you,

having you help me cook...

The two of us make one thing at a time from nothing.

This is how you create a new lifestyle, right?

Aoi-chan...

Yeah, let's build our lives together from now on.

Kaoru-sama...

Have I been too harsh on Aoi-sama?

I had been thinking it was for her best until now.

But...

Not once has she shown me such a lively smile.

Hanabishi Kaoru, huh?

Miyabi-san!

Aoi-sama!

I apologize for such an obscene noise.

W-What was that just now?

I-Is something there?

Something... You mean a burglar?

A ghost...

Or a phantom...

I-Impossible.

Kaoru-sama!

I'll go look.

I-It's all right.

Kaoru-sama...

Leave it to me.

Kaoru-dono...

Kaoru-sama!

Kaoru-dono!

A-A cat?

Yeah.

This is what you thought was a ghost.

Looks like he's been here long before we got here.

Maybe he hid here because of all the sudden noise.

So that is what it was.

To think I was screaming over a mere cat.

I am truly embarrassed.

Sheesh!

U-Um, Miyabi-san...

Shall we have our meal soon, Aoi-sama?

You too, Kaoru-dono.

Sure!

Wait, Miyabi-san! Why did you lock the door?

I forbid you to enter this building after 10:00 pm, Kaoru-dono!

Heh?!

No strange thoughts about this!

Understood?

Nothing has changed from when I was living alone.

Aoi-chan?

He will be living with us from now on, as well.

Nice to meet you, Neko-san.

So cute!

You're right!

Nice to meet you.

It's definitely a male.

Kaoru-sama?

Once again...

I am not perfect, but I hope you will learn to accept me.

The pleasure is all mine.
