Cinderella and the prince have made an eternal vow, supposedly.

They've been blessed with new life and should be at the height of bliss, supposedly…

Due to the king's tactics, and the persistence of the prince's pursuer…

You're really still hung up on me, aren't you?

- I have Sato now. - What?

Please marry Izumi.

As for the hot spring project to protect your wife's hometown, I will cooperate fully.

I decline.

The couple's relationship is about to fall apart.

Will Cinderella be able to fight

despite all of that?

Please break up with Sato.

Mom…

I can't let Sato go back to a house with people like that.

Kenta, I understand

that you really treasure Sato.

That's why I want you to let her be free.

Please.

Break up with Sato.

Involvement in Family Affairs

Sato.

You should think about it too.

Can you protect your child in that house, among those people?

They are rather stubborn.

No matter how much they struggle,

in the end, they'll have no choice but to submit to our demands.

I'll make sure Izumi performs perfectly.

I'm counting on you, Tachibana.

Please marry me!

I'd be pleased to.

Let's share the same fate, okay?

With all due respect...

Can you really say that this house is happy?

This has got to be the first step to changing the Miyama family.

Let's do our best.

Thank you.

Kenta.

Stay still and listen.

Kenta.

I don't want to break up.

This isn't the first time your father has tried to tear us apart.

I'm sure we'll make it through again this time.

I couldn't say anything back.

When my mother told me to break up with you.

After you married me and entered the Miyama family,

you've always been put through the worst.

I'm sorry.

I haven't been able to protect you.

I've only ever made you suffer.

Will we be happier apart?

My happiness

is being with you.

It hasn't all been suffering.

There's been many fun times because you were with me.

I want to be with you.

With this child, I want to stay together.

I'll do anything for that to happen.

Kenta, do you not feel the same?

Kenta.

Yes!

Excuse me.

You were right yesterday.

I haven't been able to protect Sato.

I have been spineless and made her suffer.

I'll become stronger.

But for that to happen, I need Sato by my side.

Without her… If we're not together, I can't fight.

I'll make sure to protect Sato and our child.

So please,

will you accept our marriage once again?

I'm begging you.

In that case, promise me one thing.

You absolutely cannot lose.

Understood!

Kenta.

Get a grip!

Ouch!

We're counting on you!

Yes.

You two, fight!

Don't you dare lose!

Come in.

Hello.

So this is the VIP room…

What a wonderful room.

Someday, will I give birth

to Kenta's baby in here too?

Huh?

You've reached the brink after all.

Just leave the rest to me.

I'll be the one producing an heir.

What are you talking about?

You'll have to leave the Miyama family

but you'll be able to keep the baby in your tummy.

Isn't that great?

- Don't joke around. - I'm not joking around!

You should be grateful for such generous terms of agreement.

A generous child support will be paid until the child reaches legal age of adult.

[Pledge to Pay Fees]

Of course, compensation fees too.

So don't worry, you can break up with him.

Please leave.

As long as you don't break up with him…

Not just you, but everyone around you will be unhappy.

In this world,

some things just can't be helped.

When it happens, you're better off giving up early

before you get hurt too deep.

We won't give up.

No matter what you or your Papa try to do,

we won't lose.

I didn't decide to marry Kenta with such half-baked determination.

Don't look down on me.

Unforgivable.

Terrifying!

- Yo! - Daisuke?

- Here you go. - Huh?

Not for you, for Sato.

Oh, to visit?

Yeah, I went to the hospital earlier,

but I saw such a dreadful scene that I didn't dare enter.

So deliver that for me.

Dreadful scene?

- Izumi was there. - What?!

She was pressuring Sato

to break up with you.

Izumi was seriously scary.

But Sato wasn't intimidated at all.

She said, "don't look down on me!"

She did?

Isn't it turning into a huge mess?

Thanks~ for~ waiting~

Daisuke.

Damn, women are scary!

What is it? Sounds like an interesting story.

And you know? Sato is super annoying.

Getting all pampered just because she got pregnant.

What's with everyone? Seriously…

What a nuisance! Clad in red, blue, yellow pajamas.

If that carefree family of three gets their way in that house,

they'll be a huge nuisance for me!

Paya~ Paya~ Nuisance in pajamas~

Pajamas~

If I don't do something about it quick

we'll end up being treated like the nuisance!

Are you okay with that?

Are you listening?!

Huh, of course you guys can't answer.

Akito, when are you coming back!

I sought help from all our affiliates,

but none of them wanted anything to do with us.

Minister Tachibana is pulling strings behind the scenes after all.

Sir, I need to speak to you.

It's fine.

Sir, please give us the permit to dig the hot spring!

After declining my offer so sharply,

- are you giving up already? - Since then, no matter where

we go they won't even let us talk. Are you putting pressure on them?

Huh? I don't know what you're talking about.

People have high hopes for that project!

Please don't crush their hopes!

Please re-issue the permit!

I'm begging you!

You know what you need to do for that permit.

You can't even complete such simple requirements?

Whether the permit gets issued all depends on you, eh?

All. On. You.

Please wait, Sir!

Sir!

Welcome back, Mr. Miyama.

You have a meeting with FM Construction after this, at 3PM.

If you don't leave now, you won't make it.

What's going on?

What do you think?

- What are you doing? - I want to know what you like.

What kind of dress do you want your bride to wear?

Construction of a hot spring facility in Komatsu-cho

I can help you more than Sato ever can.

I'll be the perfect wife.

I can give you more love than she can.

I will never break up with Sato!

I will never give up on you.

Because…

You were my Kenta first.

But that woman…

It's fine. You'll love me again.

I won't stop until I get you.

In order to regain Papa's trust too.

What?

Oh, right! What should I wear for the second dress?

I'll go choose something, wait for me.

- I'm home. - Kenta! Welcome home.

- Yeah. - Actually…

What?

- Hello~ - Daisuke! Kiriko!

Thanks for having us, Sato's darling.

They have something to tell us.

The permit has been issued?

Did you pull some strings?

That's right.

You guys got caught by a truly evil old fox!

Do you know about Dr. Tachibana?

That man has a hidden side.

Hidden side?

You can't even do something so simple!

You piece of garbage!

He pretends to be a gentleman in public, but he's a huge power harasser.

Hi~ Long time no see, Dr. Tachibana.

Oh, look who it is.

You haven't changed.

Can I help you?

I came here to ask two things.

Stop messing with

Miyama Sato and Kenta.

Issue the permit for the hot spring project.

- What did you say? - If you don't abide,

I'll leak all your past power harassment cases to the media.

What a surprise! Do you even have evidence?

Besides, don't you have other things you don't want the media to know even more?

Attempted murder?! Izumi?!

She had a boyfriend when she studied in France.

But when he tried to break up with her, she stabbed him.

But her father, MP Tachibana paid a large settlement fee

and the case never made it to the public eye.

But because of this, Izumi's Papa was outraged.

Izumi was forced to come back to Japan.

How useless can you be?

Izumi!

There was no one better than him,

and now you've ruined everything.

Just what was the point of me paying

for all of your expensive education?

Papa I'm sorry...

I'm so sorry.

I have no use for a daughter who isn't perfect.

What a horrible excuse for a father.

Well, I guess I do feel sorry for Izumi in that regard.

My lover was Tachibana's secretary.

But he was harassed so badly at work that he killed himself.

I just can't forgive Tachibana.

Kiriko...

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

I don't know what would have happened

if you hadn't been here for us...

What motivated me to take action...

was you Sato.

- What? - You told me something before.

I think you're just running away from the problem.

Huh?

It's easier to just give up and walk away.

But then the next generation will suffer the same way we did.

That really hit home for me.

-Oh... - But in reality,

Tachibana is still using his power to harass others.

This was a good opportunity.

But just so you know, I don't help just anybody.

I can't have you get defeated at this stage.

Wait, um, what?

Please continue to indulge me, okay?

Sure... oh... wait...

Please Papa! I'll definitely figure something out!

I don't want to give up on Kenta.

Are you sure?

You must have a plan, right?

I do.

There's someone who can help me.

Don't disappoint me any further.

Understood?

Yes.

Perfect.

Huh? You want my help?

What's the point now...

The permit for the hot spring business was approved

and my marriage proposal to Kenta was completely dismissed.

And now I'm being forced to quit my job!

If things continue as they are,

you and Akito won't be able to become heirs, will you?

I can't let things end like this either!

Please.

Help me.

No thanks. I don't want to take up a lost cause.

Sorry I can't help you. Bye~!

Wait!

Oh no no no no no no no no no no no no.

At this rate, they'll take everything from me!

Oh this is bad.

Calm down, Mihoko.

I have to do something.

The Master seemed to be very upset

that the plan was derailed...

What is the meaning of this?

It's unbelievable that Tachibana would suddenly turn his back on us.

What did you do?

We didn't do anything.

You didn't do anything? That can't be true!

It is true. We didn't do anything.

Good evening everyone~!

Father, I brought a bottle of wine that I thought would suit your palate!

Why are you here?

As I was saying, I brought an excellent wine

that Akito wanted me to give you.

Then why didn't Akito bring it himself?

And why do I only ever hear about him from you?

Oh... he's doing well!

No matter how long he's been on leave, he hasn't shown up here even once.

Well...

He said he wanted to take time to think, alone.

Then he can think about it. I don't mind.

I'm sure the two of you will take plenty of time to think together.

Thanks for your time and efforts.

I'm in...

a very bad mood.

Hurry up and disappear!

I... I...

I'm pregnant!

I'm pregnant with Akito's baby!

Mihoko! Really?

Y-yes! Really!

We were going to wait to tell you

until Akito returned to back to work.

"Well done."

"You're going to have a baby."

"Be responsible and do your best when you return."

Tell all that to Akito. Okay?

Yes, of course!

I have to do something... I have to do something!

I have to do something...

I have to do something...

Just as one person's secret is revealed,

Sperm Donation, Secretly

someone else creates a new secret.

I have to do something!

This is a magnificent world,

where secrets and lies are constantly being told.

I have one inspection, but it'll be over at 4:00 p.m.

- So I'll be home early. - In that case,

I'll put my skills to the test and make a special dinner!

Really? Can't wait! See you later.

Unacceptable!!!!

- What? - It's not good for her!

- Oh... - If you really need a hug

you may hug me.

- Or me. - Or me.

Go on, hug whoever you prefer.

I'm leaving.

It's designed to face south here.

Thanks so much.

Tachibana Izumi

Please excuse me.

Hello?

Hello.

I was wondering if I could accompany you on today's inspection.

I'd like to say goodbye one last time.

There's no need. I'm going to hang up now.

Just kidding! I'm already here.

What?

These are...?

Books on childbirth that have been handed down in the Miyama Family for generations.

Please read and study them well.

- All of them? - Yes.

That is all.

"The Wonderful Meeting"

How cute.

I can't wait to meet you!

Papa and Mama are waiting for you.

Kenta

Sorry, Sato. I'll call you back later.

What are you doing?

Get down! It's dangerous!

Kenta? Is everything okay?

I'm so sick and tired.

Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait! Don't be hasty!

Just leave me alone.

Calm down. Let's talk this out.

It's not safe there, so let's talk over here.

Fine.

I won't try to die alone anymore.

Shall we die together?

Hey! Whoa!

Let's die together, Kenta.

Izumi?

It's just too painful to live any longer.

My mother left me when I was a child.

And at this rate, even my father...

Hello? Hello? Kenta!?

I hate my father!

Even though I've been trying my best to be perfect for him...

Why is this happening...

Izumi, listen to me!

Please.

You're all I have.

You're the only one who can save me!

- You're wrong! - You said it was okay.

You told me it was okay to fail, to be imperfect!

Please... please calm down!

Break up with Sato and come to me.

Doing this won't get you what you want.

But you're what I want!

- No! - I'm happy as long as you're with me.

The only person who can make you happy is YOU!

Izumi...

You have to be happy by yourself!

That's why...

You need to stop whatever this is!

Izumi...

Come here Kenta.

Stop.

Let's die together, Kenta.

Izumi! Don't move any further!

Kenta.

Stop!!

Kenta! Kenta can you hear me?

Kenta?!

Kenta!!

- Mother! - Sato!

Is Kenta okay?

How is my son's condition?

The impact of the fall left him with full body bruising and a concussion.

But the injuries are not life-threatening.

Thank God.

- I see. - Thank goodness...

I'm so relieved. Thank you Doctor.

Kenta? Kenta?

Sato...

Where's Izumi?

She just got out of surgery.

Thank God.

I was wondering what I would do if we lost you...

I...

I was scared too.

Huh?

I thought of your face...

When I thought I might not make it...

Your face was the first thing that came to mind...

I can't believe you fell off a roof and survived.

What a lucky bastard!

I'm so, so glad you're okay.

Sorry for worrying you.

I guess Izumi really is crazy.

I heard her father was furious when he heard about the incident in France.

Yes...

I'll go buy us some drinks.

Thanks.

Ms. Tachibana's family hasn't come to visit her at all.

Not even once... isn't that terrible?

I sincerely apologise! I can't even find the proper words...

To begin with, your family has nothing to do with the Miyama family.

- Besides... - What?

Ah... of course! You are exactly right!

This matter will be handled confidentially....

Wait...

Excuse me.

Why won't you go visit Izumi in the hospital?

She and I have nothing to do with each other anymore.

What?

I spent a lot of time and money to make her the perfect daughter

who I would not be ashamed to show anywhere,

but she was of no use to me at all.

That incompetent girl is not my daughter.

How can you say that?

I don't need you to tell me what to do.

[Information about your sperm donor]

Pull yourself together, Mihoko.

You want to stay in the Miyama family, right?

Then you have to do this.

Thank you so much.

Come in.

I knew you'd come.

Izumi.

I will never forgive what you did.

Putting Kenta in that kind of danger...

I might have never seen him again.

I will never forgive you.

If you try to pull that type of stunt again

- I'll- - Relax.

I have no intention of doing that.

I don't care about anything anymore.

No one cares if I die or live.

So I don't care what happens next.

That's no excuse!

What are you saying?

You made our lives a living Hell

and now you don't care?

You've got to be kidding.

Let me spell it out for you.

Don't be so irresponsible.

Face up to what you've done!

Don't say you don't care.

But...

I can't undo what I've done...

That's not true.

People can start over again as many times as they want.

First of all

you should escape from the curse of perfection.

As long as you stay close to the person who put that curse on you,

you'll keep repeating your mistakes over and over again.

The only person who can break the curse is

is you.

Victims confess their sorrow! Harassment case brought forward against Environment Minister Tachibana.

It's all your fault!

I had to resign because of you!

I'm done doing my best just to please you.

Pardon?

I'm done being perfect.

Izumi?

Goodbye father.

Izumi...

Hey! Wait!

I've cut ties with my father.

It's for the best.

I'm sorry for everything I've done.

Goodbye.

Take care.

- Ouch! - What!

By the way, I was listening.

Huh?

When the two of you were talking in Izumi's hospital room.

- You did? - Sorry.

That's kind of embarrassing...

It made me realize once again

that marrying you made me the luckiest man in the world.

I never could have talked to her like you did.

That's why I respect you so much.

And since I get to be with you,

I'm hyper-ultra lucky.

What are you saying? Hyper-ultra lucky?

No wait, that's not enough.

Hyper-ultra-super-duper-miracle lucky!

Thanks.

I won't ever let you go.

No matter what happens, I will protect you and our baby.

So please stay with me from now on.

Of course.

Thank goodness...

Thank goodness...

But Kenta...

- No kissing... - I don't care.

[Information about your sperm donor]

Um...

Um... well...

You're... the guy, right?

Ah, yes I am.

- Here. - Thanks.

Looks good. Bye then.

It's papa!

It seems that this young couple has finally found some peace.

But it's too early to be relieved.

Peace is something that does not last long.

It moved!

Little did they know

that a storm of epic proportions

was about to break the peace.
