Now, I'd like to tell you the truth about our relationship

which seems to be unparalleled in our society,

as frankly and candidly as possible.

[Blinded Kiss]

[Final Episode]

It was really fast.

I can't believe it's ending.

Sorry?

We're already at the end of September.

I see. You're right.

- Ever since we moved in, it's been— - Four months.

After starting a new life here, various things have happened.

And I am about to put an end to that life very soon.

I see that I can't persuade you moving to Malaysia with us now.

Your mom will be undergoing surgery.

After learning about Mom's illness...

If anything happens to Mom, I'd want you to be there.

Right now, I should be with my mom in Malaysia.

That's what I thought.

But... I don't understand...

how he can be so calm.

Last night...

I'm... planning on leaving this place and going to Malaysia.

After telling him my decision with a heavy heart...

Of course, it doesn't mean we're breaking up.

It'll be a long-distance relationship.

Sure.

After all, you're worried about your mom, aren't you?

Okay.

I understand.

He's nonchalant about it.

To be honest, I was disappointed.

We'll be far away from each other.

I know I was the one who decided on this,

so it wouldn't be right to ask him to stop me from going.

Of course, I'm well aware of that,

but...

if he could, even a little...

- It's almost here. - Huh?

Your birthday.

Is there anything you want or anything you wish to do?

You don't have to do anything special.

I'm not really particular about such occasions.

In that case, if there's something you want to do,

or something you want on that day, just tell me.

What I really want from you,

would be for you to be by my side.

But I, myself, had let go of that wish.

I... will go to Malaysia.

Waka...

I've made up my mind... to go there with you, Mom.

The surgery... is already over.

Say what?

The surgery is over. I'm fully recovered now.

- What? - I have benign polyps.

Although it was benign, the doctor suggested removing them just to be safe.

So I got them removed the day before.

So...

Thank you for waiting. Here is your deluxe parfait.

You must have heard it from Dad.

I told him not to tell you since it wasn't serious. He was just overreacting.

Are you okay?

Better than ever.

The reason you came to Japan...

I came to remove the polyps because I was afraid to have surgery overseas.

But you said you came back because you wanted to see me.

I came back to Japan, of course I'd want to see my daughter.

Are you lying to me because you didn't want me to go to Malaysia?

- Huh? - Ouch!

- My... - What's wrong?

- My... - So were you lying, after all?

I have sensetive teeth, and I ate too much ice cream yesterday.

It's painful.

- Ow... Ow... - What?

- Don't tell me... you knew everything? - I did.

- About my mom undergoing surgery, too? - Yes.

- And her polyps? - Yes.

Why?

Your mom personally told me about it.

Why...

Why didn't you tell me?

It was your family affair, so I didn't want to butt in.

Because you knew, you easily agreed to let me go to Malaysia?

No.

I'm generally fine about you going to Malaysia.

What?

Oh, right. There's still some work that I have to finish up today.

I'm going back to my room.

Does it mean he doesn't mind having a long-distance relationship?

You see, I've decided to undergo surgery.

Oh, it's a simple procedure to remove my benign polyps.

I'm not lying. I'm totally fine.

See? I can even swing my arms.

Well, you sure look fine.

You see, the thought came to my mind when I decided to have the surgery.

My husband and I will be gone eventually.

As you know, my daughter cares about nothing but books.

Indeed.

When we are no longer around, my daughter will be alone.

That thought suddenly made us worried.

I realized I miss Waka badly.

That's why you came to Japan?

Well, I could have the surgery in Malaysia,

but since we're coming to see Waka, I thought about having it in Japan.

I see.

But I feel relieved.

As long as she has you, Shinobu,

we can pass on with peace of mind.

Not anytime soon, thought.

Do I make it sound like I'm dying?

You're not dying.

I'm very much alive. Okay?

I'm totally fine.

Ooh...

This is delicious.

Thank you for the compliments.

[Waka's Birthday]

[Morning. I'm leaving for work first. I've made coffee, so feel free to drink it.]

Usually, it'll be this...

Wake up.

Did he send me flowers since it's my birthday today?

I shouldn't expect anything,

since I told him not to get me anything.

Thank you, Waka.

I'm happy that you're truly concerned about me.

You must have been so torn about leaving Shinobu.

Even if you go to Malaysia, you don't plan on giving up on Shinobu, do you?

I'm glad that you met someone who you cherish.

Don't ever let him go.

Okay?

Morning. Thanks for the coffee.

I'll be done with work at noon.

Shall we meet for lunch?

All right.

[The Forest Library]

Sorry, Kashiwagi!

Could you help me out with transferring the books today?

Today?

The chief librarian insisted, but you see,

my parents are coming over today, so I have to be there.

- What about asking Matsuura? - Matsuura can't, either.

So sorry!

Maybe...

it'll only take about one hour.

We beg of you!

[Sorry. I won't be able to make it for lunch.]

Shinobu?

I figured you'd be done by now.

Oh, sorry.

No need to apologize.

Let's go.

Could it be... he's angry?

It was me who suggested, but I made him wait.

I thought I could leave earlier.

It's not your fault.

But...

I was the one who planned it that way.

Huh?

Happy birthday!

- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!

Waka!

Happy birthday... to you!

- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!

I was the one who requested for you to work overtime.

- Sorry for tricking you. - Well, well...

Let's eat and drink!

Over here!

There, there.

The food looks delicious.

I'll get this then.

- Did you plan all this? - I did.

Last night.

I was worried you'd wake up.

And all these?

Not exactly.

When I told everyone about it, they wanted to celebrate for you, and volunteered to help.

The cake! Just in time!

Yoshikawa and Matsuura got the cake.

The flower decorations were done by your dad and mom.

- She's coming already! - I'll make it quick.

The alcohol is from Gaku and the professor.

I didn't feel there was a need to celebrate my birthday.

But I'm so blessed...

that everyone, including the man I love, is celebrating it with me.

Okay, okay, okay.

Kamijo, please stand over here.

Here you go, Kashiwagi.

- With everyone's permission, I, Yoshikawa... - And I, Matsuura...

shall invite everyone to give a toast!

Ready?

Before that... may I say something?

Hope you don't mind.

Dad...

Mom...

Waka is currently surrounded by many other things besides books.

There are many people who treasure Waka, and treat her as an important friend.

When we are no longer around, my daughter will be alone.

That thought suddenly made us worried.

So my words had always been on your mind.

That's why...

I'll be happy if this puts your mind at ease, even for a little.

Goodness, Dear.

Don't cry!

Your nose is running. Here. Blow your nose.

Sorry about it.

Feels like a wedding, don't you think?

Yeah.

I think so, too.

Say, Gaku...

Shh.

It's fine.

I know that I'm being rejected.

Don't look so apologetic.

Well...

I'm the one who made you feel that way, aren't I?

My bad.

Hey, what are you doing there?

- The birthday girl should be here drinking with me! - Okay.

Yo... why are you sulking over here?

I'm not sulking.

It's all right. Don't be bothered by it. Let's drink up.

I'll drink, I'll drink. I'm not feeling bothered.

It was livelier than I expected.

It was.

- Waka. - Yes?

I did say it's all right for you to go to Malaysia.

You probably didn't understand why I said that, did you?

I'm the guy who chased you all the way from Germany, after all.

Malaysia is no big deal.

I'll definitely chase after you there.

Don't resist me.

Can you not underestimate me?

I completely forgot about that.

I'm happy to know

you care for me as much as you care about your mom.

Of course, you're important to me.

By the way, Waka...

Shall we take a little detour?

Huh?

Hey, are we allowed to be here?

I got the approval for it.

[Ich freue mich dass du da bist]

What does this say?

"Ich freue mich... dass du da bist".

I am happy...

I am happy that you are here,

and I'm happy you're existing in the world.

Your present.

Can I open it?

Sure.

Let me put it on for you.

Okay.

Thank you.

They say that another name for opal,

is "Cupid Stone."

It brings an encounter with the one we love,

and binds us together in fate.

Even if...

you really go somewhere far away,

I promise...

I definitely will never leave you.

I'm sure...

that this necklace will bring me to you.

I've never thought that this day would ever happen to me.

Timing and Subtitles brought by Bookworm's Lover Team💖

For always being there for me,

for letting me meet you,

and for being here by my side now,

Thank you.

♫ that shine quietly on the right side of the moon ♫

♫ Tonight, I thought of you ♫

- Is everything okay? - Yes. Hold on for a minute.

What would happen if we do get married?

What happens when we have kids?

What happens when we become old?

All right, thanks for waiting.

- Thank you. - Shall we?

Let's dig in.

I can't picture anything but a life of bliss in the future.

♫ Will we forget all of this someday ♫

Huh?

What?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

How come you're smirking?

No, I'm not.

Eat this. It's delicious.

I'm good, since I have my own.

Please, eat it.

Open up.

It's delicious.

- I know, right? - Yeah.

You didn't answer my question.

♫ Besides that it's a night where nothing happens ♫

Thanks.

See you.

I feel that I can no longer live without Shinobu by my side.

This is what I've got myself into.

♫ It's so bright that I can't even open my eyes ♫

♫ That summer where we frolicked around too much ♫

I'll be off.

Okay.

♫ Will we forget all of this someday ♫

With that, the story of us comes to a close.

Those of you who watched this, and feel it's absurd, please feel free to laugh.

That's because I'm madly in love with Waka.

I just can't help it, no matter what others think.

Waka and I have turned 27 this year.
