Original subtitles

Where there is a beginning, there is an end. If there is meeting, there is parting.

This fairy tale, which began happily for Cinderella and Prince Charming,

will soon come to an end.

Memory loss?

Some sacrifices have to be made for the sake of the family.

That's how everyone has protected this family until today.

I am not your wife. Right now,

you're not the Kenta that I know.

I'll...

I'll leave this house.

Goodbye, Kenta.

Involvement in Family Affairs

That should do it.

You're hungry, aren't you?

Are you going to cry?

You're crying...

Don't cry...

Is Kumi still on strike?

I would seem that way, sir.

CAN YOU PLEASE STOP!

You can call Sato an eyesore?

You think she's easily replaceable?

Stop treating women like objects!

- What? - I've reached my limit.

I don't want to take care of someone like you.

Stop right there!

You think women are useless?

I am a woman too.

In any case, Kumi will be back soon.

She has nowhere else to go.

Manpuku-ya

Welcome!

Mother?

I apologise for the sudden intrusion.

- Separated but living together? - I feel so much better now.

But I really wanted to apologise to you.

Huh?

You've been through so much hardship.

I'm so sorry.

Don't worry about it. I think this is for the best.

Since he can't remember, being together is just too painful for both of us.

Oh, are you open?

Oh, welcome!

I'll be ready in just a minute!

No problem!

Here we go.

- Oh, are you a new waitress? - What? No, um...

- Can I order? - What? From me?

- We're all ready! - Um...

Thank you for waiting! Here is your edamame and chilled tofu.

- Wow! - Looks great!

- May I add something else? - Certainly.

Well then, I'll have offal stew, the ham cutlets, and meat and potato stew.

Offal stew... ham cutlets... meat and potato stew.

- And a beer! - Of course.

I'll take this then. Oh, there's still some left.

- There is? - I'll pour it for you. Here you go.

- Great! Thank you! - You're a real pro!

Are you really a rookie waitress?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you help.

- It's so fun! - What?

No one has ever thanked me for serving them before!

The Kenta that I know

won't use Rin as a sacrifice for the sake of the family.

Truly...

I was happy, Kenta.

But...

We can no longer be together.

I'm sorry, but we're not open yet....

- What? - I'm coming in.

Um...

Why... are you here?

If you hadn't stopped me at that time,

I would have become a criminal and I would be in jail right now.

And if that had happened, it would have ruined

my success story that I've built up to this point.

And that would have been a tragedy. A true Shakespearean tragedy!

- Right. - That's why...

I'll... say it.

- It? - Th...

Thank you.

And...

I'm sorry.

Is that not good enough?

Should I say it again?

- If you hadn't stopped me- - That's not necessary!

I was just really surprised.

Did something happen?

I want you to tell me...

about Sato.

You and Sato were trying

to change the antiquated values of this house.

From your father's point of view,

it must have seemed like you were trying to destroy the family.

But this, I think, is not destruction,

but rather, revolution.

After the two of you left,

it felt like there was a gaping hole in the house.

It was as if I had made the biggest mistake of my life.

Sitting around waiting won't bring back what's important to you.

Hello? Come in!

Kenta!

Sorry to bother you. Is Ms. Sato here?

Oh? I wonder where she went?

- Come in. - Thank you.

I... heard that I often used to come here to eat.

I want you to tell me about Ms. Sato and me.

A lot of people have told me things.

Like how after I met her, I changed.

And how I seemed so happy when I was with her.

You did say something once.

You said that after you met Sato and started eating here with everyone

you realised what it meant to be a family for the first time.

I can't get her words out of my head.

What kind of person was I?

Could you please tell me

what she knows about me?

I'm not the person you should be asking.

Isn't that right, Sato?

He should hear it from you.

Well...

Are you hungry?

Here.

Thanks.

I know this taste.

How can I explain it?

It tastes like family.

I love it.

The flavour is nostalgic.

It's warm.

That's because...

it's your favourite food.

I'm so sorry.

To be honest, I was scared when I found out

I was married to someone I didn't know at all

and we had a child together.

The only thing I remember is how my family used to be...

But... I can feel it.

This restaurant, this taste...

and you must have been very special and important to me.

I can sense that, but...

I can't remember!

I'm so sorry.

I can't remember...

That's okay.

It's okay.

Thanks.

You came to see me despite everything.

So don't apologise.

I have to open the restaurant soon.

Can you give me another chance?

You, and Rin...

I want to remember you both.

And even if I can't remember...

I know I'll regret it if I leave you now.

That's how I feel.

I want you to be with me.

Please!

The Kenta I see right now...

is the Kenta I know.

As long as you stay true to yourself,

I'll have your back.

That's because we share the same fate, right?

Here.

Let's do our best, the three of us!

Um...

Will you let me hold Rin in my arms?

Rin!

She's so cute!

Right? You hear that?

- What is the meaning of this? - The three of us have decided to start over.

- I don't approve. - I don't care.

Does that mean you're stepping down as successor?

I'm fine with Akito being the successor

if that's what he wants.

Boss! Bad news!

What the... what the hell is this?

An employee named Jinguji from one of our subsidiaries

made a failed investment and incurred a huge loss.

The amount could be tens of billions or even more!

- And the employee? - It seems he disappeared.

If we don't make up the amount by next week the business will go bankrupt.

Such a large sum of money can't be found so quickly...

What about selling all the land in the bay area?

No.

The land was purchased in anticipation of the Expo to be held in 10 years.

If we sell now, we won't make any profit.

- Father, but if we don't sell it... - I will not sell it!

Akito and President Banno?

That's what Mihoko said when she came to our place.

She said Akito wants to destroy the Miyama family.

Destroy?

President Banno of Zaras Group is here.

- Long time no see. - President Banno, how can I help you?

Akito told me what happened.

It sounds like you're in a bit of a pinch!

That's why I came here to help you.

- I see. - The Zaras Group

will buy the land in the bay area.

Thank you for your offer, but I must decline.

Why?

Don't you need the funds right away?

If you don't do something, the Miyama Group is finished.

It's all thanks to the information you gave me.

Rest assured I've got Jinguji in hiding

along with the money.

Will my father behave and sell the land?

If he can't make up the loss by the appointed date,

it will be the end of the Miyama empire.

Selling that land is the only way to save the company.

This will destroy the Miyama family just as you hoped.

Akito, I have to ask you something.

It's about the about the employee named Jinguji

who caused the loss....

He's the person I recruited for my project.

- That's right. I did it. - Why?

Why would you do that?

It's because you're the one who barged in to take over!

I'm the one who's been working the hardest for our father's sake.

And yet, he only likes you.

I didn't ask to be born the eldest son.

Don't you get it? I hate you.

That's why I wanted to destroy you.

So why are you suddenly saying

that you're fine with me being the successor?

Is it because you lost your memories?

Is it because you don't remember anything about us?

You're wrong.

I do remember this.

I remember that you were always kind.

I remember that I loved you.

I know that you were always working hard.

If you actually want to be the successor,

I'll step aside.

But...

I want you to promise me this.

Don't let the next generation inherit the pain you've been going through.

I understood after Kenta said that to me.

I don't want to be the successor.

I just...

really wanted my father's approval.

I wanted him to praise me.

I can't be the successor.

That's why we should divor-

I thought it over and had a realisation.

I can create a happy ending on my own.

And you know what? I'll only say it once.

I don't need the eldest son of the Miyama family or a prince,

I just need you, Akito.

I am Miyama Akito's wife,

Miyama Mihoko.

- Mihoko... - All's well that ends well.

Please continue to be my henchman from now on.

Of course.

Wait... it's about the company...

- The loss was fake? - It seems President Banno ordered an employee named Jinguji

to transfer the money to an overseas account.

What? If that's the case, can't we just find it?

But Akito doesn't know the details of the account.

He said he'll try to find out from Banno,

but I doubt he'll reveal it that easily.

Then I guess we need to find this Jinguji person.

Let's find him and get the money back.

You seem to be in a bit of a pickle, Sato!

Ritsuko? I thought you were in London!

That's right. I was busy studying design,

- but Mihoko called me. - She did?

Yup! She asked me to help you.

So here.

I took it behind my father's back.

If he's hiding someone named Jinguji,

these are the hotels he might use as hideouts.

They're all overseas.

Ah!

Kiriko! I have a favour to ask you!

Roger that!

I'll definitely find him.

We found the employee of the subsidiary.

Kenta and Akito are on their way to get the money back now.

Really?

He confessed that you were giving the orders.

- I'm so sorry! - President Banno.

We're asking you to return the money.

So you betrayed me?

I guess even you can be useful sometimes.

I had noticed something that Akito was acting strangely.

He did a truly stupid thing.

Isn't it your fault that

Akito was driven to this point?

Akito was obedient until you came.

Kenta, Kumi, Daisuke and Arisa... all of them changed because of you.

People change.

I want to protect the same wonderful things about this family that you do.

However, don't you think there are some things

that need to change?

Just answer it already.

Excuse me.

Hello?

The money is gone.

What?

So you betrayed me?

We betrayed each other.

We got scammed.

What is it?

I thought you were going to be helpful.

But you were all talk. No surprise there!

I was prepared for this.

I have an important guest coming from Dubai next week.

If all goes well, he will invest a huge amount of money.

We're going to discuss the contract here,

so of course we must welcome him accordingly.

Kumi, you're in charge. What will you do?

Are you going to abandon your role as hostess

at such a critical time?

If you're going to abandon it,

then leave this place.

But you've never earned a yen in your life,

so how do you plan to live? Hm?

Prepare for the guests.

- Very well. - Good.

Since that's the only thing you're capable of.

Please take back what you just said!

And so, an important guest, who holds the fate of the Miyama family in his hands,

arrives in Japan from Dubai.

Where's Kumi? Why isn't she here?

- T-that's... - What's going on?

- She's not coming. - What are you doing here?

Please take back what you said to her the other day.

I will do no such thing.

In that case, she won't be coming.

What? Then what the hell are we going to do?

I'm prepared to take on the hostessing duties to the best of my abilities.

Pretending to be the mistress, huh?

Not at all.

But I am also a woman from this family.

Mr. Said has arrived.

We're on our way.

We sincerely welcome you, Mr. Said!

Thank you so much for inviting me.

Thank you for coming.

Then, let me show you in. This way, please.

So we can expect to make a considerable profit.

It is indeed a tempting proposition,

but I would like to know if there are any risks at this point in time.

- Oh, no, not particularly. - Is that so?

Very well. Let's make a deal.

- Thank you so much. - Mr. Kogure...

We'll do our best.

Shouldn't we tell him about the subsidiary?

We've been told not to mention it.

The meal is ready.

- These dishes represent the colours of Japan. - How fantastic!

It's delicious!

Enjoy.

Please turn it twice, and drink with the design facing outwards.

This is the kind of culture and tradition that will be passed down

to future generations.

It is very important and wonderful.

Thank you very much.

Well then, I think it's time to sign the contract.

Kenta, bring the documents.

Yes sir.

Please wait.

There is something I have to tell you.

Say it later. Please go ahead...

We have incurred a loss.

- A loss? - Be quiet.

One of our subsidiaries has recently suffered a significant loss.

You said earlier there were no risks.

I apologize for not informing you properly.

I didn't think it was fair to keep it hidden.

Kenta.

Now's not the time to give a damn about fairness!

It's true that we really need your help right now.

But that being said,

I don't want to deceive you.

Besides...

I don't want Ms. Sato's sincere efforts to welcome you

to be ruined by dishonesty.

I agree with Kenta.

Women should not meddle in business matters.

Kenta and I both

want to be honest with everyone.

I'm not listening to your opinion.

Women should stay out of the way!

That's enough!

What are you all doing?

- This is a business meeting! - Isn't it obvious?

We came to support Sato.

But then I heard Paparin saying such awful things

- and it pissed me off. - Pa...pa...Paparin?

Men this, women that... in this era?

I'm starting to think you're a living fossil!

And while we're here, let me say this.

I should be free to marry whoever I want!

You're just like my father, totally out of date!

Please don't impose your dusty values on us.

Also, isn't your God complex a bit too much?

You're always looking down on people and stomping all over them.

Just how self-important are you?

- Aren't we all human? - I also have something to say.

We are not your servants!

Don't be outraged over a mere crouton in your soup.

I don't care about croutons right now! Enough!

Everything I do is to protect this family.

To protect it, some sacrifices are unavoidable.

I say this with all due respect.

I want to protect this family

as much as you do.

But it's meant that everyone has to be sacrificed in some way.

I've had enough of that.

Besides, haven't you also had to sacrifice a lot for the sake of protecting the family?

I want to change things for the better in order to protect this family.

I want to make

both the family and myself happy.

I don't want to give up.

Be quiet!

We're done being quiet!

I'm done holding back

when it comes to what's best for me and the people I love.

We're going to live on our own terms.

Regarding the investment.

Let's sign a contract.

However, there are conditions.

If all of you act as company representatives

then I will agree to the deal.

- No, that's... - You lied to me.

In the business world, people without integrity

cannot be trusted.

Please take care of things Kenta.

Everyone... thank you so much!

I couldn't have done it without you.

You've helped us out so many times!

This is our thanks to you.

You were amazing Sato.

You've come a long way since you first arrived here. All grown up!

Hey... you're one to talk!

Sato, you did wonderfully.

- You're going to be a fine mistress. - Thanks.

And if you don't, well, I'll keep waiting in the wings to take your place!

Okay.

Classic Mihoko!

Why are you so freakishly strong lately?

Oh? You think so?

I did what I did to protect the Miyama family.

I wasn't wrong to do that.

As the head of the family,

I know you've been working for everyone's sake.

She's right.

It's time for us to change too.

But... the Miyama family

is still here.

That's good enough.

Thank you so much for everything today.

It was nothing. You did well too!

Ms. Sato.

I understood after watching you today.

I realised that past me was probably

so ridiculously happy to be with you.

I want to be happy with you and Rin.

I want the three of us to be a family again.

Of course.

After that day, Kenta became the head of the Miyama family.

Meanwhile, Keiichi disappeared

and his whereabouts were unknown.

And so, the Miyama family

entered a new season of change.

President of Zaras Hotel Group Arrested on Charges of Embezzlement

More than One Billion Yen! President Banno Arrested on Charges of Embezzlement

New President of the Miyama Group, Miyama Kenta, ushering in work-life balance reforms

I finally found you.

Why are you here?

I may not make money from it,

but it is my job to support you.

Thanks.

You understand better than anyone, don't you?

You have unfinished business!

You're the former head of the Miyama family.

I would like to see you become a respectable person

Welcome!

Father...

Here.

So this is the taste that Kenta loves so much.

I am sorry for everything.

Please take care of

Kenta and the rest of the family.

Sato looks so pretty...

I wish this had happened sooner.

By the way, what happened to your legs?

Don't make scary faces! Do this!

- Peekaboo! I see you! - Oh, I see.

- Peekaboo! I see you! - Much better!

The meat was the best, but the dolce was also really tasty!

What's this? Seems you're getting along better now than you did when you were married!

What?

No way! Right?

Stop copying me!

The Miyama mountain... it's very high~

- The Miyama mountain... it's very high~ - He used to sing that song to all of you.

Really?!

Kenta, she's ready.

Okay.

You look beautiful Sato.

Thanks mom.

Kenta!

You are really stunning Sato.

What?

Sato.

Did you just say "Sato"?

Kenta?

Sato.

I...

remember.

Sato!

Sato!

Sato!

Welcome back Kenta!

Sato, I'm home.

After all the ups and downs and twists and turns

these two finally got their happy ending.

"And they lived happily ever after."

I'd like to say that, but...

A happy ending is not the end,

but rather, the beginning of a new story.

Hey! Her shoe!

She lost a shoe!

Don't lose it! Those are her precious shoes!

When did she lose that?

- Wait just a second! - Sure.

Here's your shoe...

- Got it! - Awesome!

Miyama ladies are the best!

As long as life goes on,

the story will continue.

Don't look down on commoners!
