I'm home.
[Akiha's Night Routine]
[Age: 27 | Occupation: Graphic Designer]
20:30, I finish work and come home. [20:30: Return home]
My favorite capsule toy trinkets await me. [Favorite: Capsule toys]
Dinner is anything I buy from the convenience store. [Dinner Preparation]
Sometimes, I consider cooking.
Even so, buying is just easier.
I prefer comfort over style for loungewear. [Change clothes]
The only thing in this room more pricy than my rent: [Special things: Eilersen sofa]
my Eilersen sofa.
I come home tired, sit on my favorite couch
and crack open a can of beer. [Relax time]
Yes, now this is bliss.
I will take a shower and take off my makeup
tomorrow.
In 2020, the divorce rate for women was around 17.5%.
This means around 1 in every 6 single women never marry.
That means you all remain in that 18%.
How straightforward.
And so you attend a matchmaking party every week.
Not every week.
Men are put off by women who only talk about marriage.
Rather, the only married person in this office
is our director.
What is that?
- How old are you again, Okado? - I'm 27.
You'd better start hurrying.
What happened to being put off?
I don't really care about marriage.
I said the same thing back then,
but a coworker in their forty's told me your thirty's fly by.
I'm satisfied with my job and work is fun, though.
I tend to think marriage equals change.
I see no reason to change my current lifestyle.
Having a favorite or bias is wonderful. They're always kind.
- Is it another 2.5D actor? - Exactly.
Satou Ryuji-kun.
Don't forget to face reality.
What about you, Miyuki-san?
I plan on marrying within the year.
I'm going to get a refill.
Being alone doesn't immediately equal unhappiness.
A marriage registration form...
[team credit]
Is this perhaps...
Don't you think we can become the perfect pair?
Is this happening?
Is it, or not?
Come on!
Please... marry me.
And there it is!
Wait, proposing in a diner in the afternoon? Not the best atmosphere.
Now... it is her turn.
What will she do?
What will your reply be?
"Yes" or "No," answer before I leave!
You must be joking.
Client, are you all right?
I'm fine.
[Morita Design]
[Skin Magic]
[Ambience]
[The World of Mushrooms]
[Shonan Guide]
As expected of you, Okado-san. It is exactly as we imagined.
I must apologize for the many requests, but there is one thing we would like to change.
- Yes, what might that be? - Well, the illustration here.
Could we swap it to this?
[Sakuya Azuki]
We would have to change the entire design.
The higher-ups are saying that these characters will be more appealing to the youth.
I'm terribly sorry!
I understand.
If it's for the client, we will redo it as many times as needed.
Thank you!
I will treat you tonight. I know a Spanish place that sells great ham. Let's go!
[La Pesquera - Marisqueria]
Okado-san, over here!
- Good work today. - Good work! Sit, sit.
I brought some of my associates. I hope that's all right.
What should we drink?
A highball, please.
Chief, wasn't that introduction brief?
- Please introduce us, properly. - All right.
This is Okado-san from Morita Design.
She's the designer who is helping me with Shonan's tourist spots.
I'm Okado.
This is our rookie, Inoue.
- I'm Inoue. - Finally,
- this here is... - I'm Momose.
This guy is...
Isn't he handsome?
Yes, he is.
Okado-san, Momose is currently free real-estate.
Free? Then what about the woman from the diner?
Chief, that wording is exactly what makes people avoid us.
You're exactly right. Ignore all that.
No, I think meetings of this sort are quite important.
- Exactly. - As expected, he doesn't remember me.
Now then, are you married, Okado-san?
- Married? - You're moving too fast!
Okado-san, my apologies.
No, it's fine. I just was quite surprised.
I'm single.
Do you wish to marry?
He's being assertive.
Currently, I enjoy my job and wish to produce more results.
- You're a real career woman. - Not really.
Besides, I don't really desire marriage.
Though, my grandmother nags me about it.
I guess familial pressure isn't a myth.
The one merit I see with marriage is satisfying my grandmother.
Well then, I'll drink it.
If so, would you like to try marrying me?
I'm terribly sorry!
It's because Momose-san was being absurd!
Momose, right now, that was out. (T/N: No good)
If I'm being serious, shouldn't it be all right?
Pardon?
What is his problem?
He was just rejected this afternoon.
I'm sorry for dirtying your shirt.
How were your clothes?
Didn't they get wet as well?
I must apologize for the incident this afternoon.
Did he remember me?
Oh, from this afternoon!
I didn't even realize.
Is proposing at a diner no good?
I wonder.
I will keep quiet about that proposal.
What I said earlier was no joke. I was being serious.
Earlier?
However, what I want is simply the label "married person."
I neither desire a warm household,
nor a married lifestyle filled with love.
I only require a partner who will be beside me when necessary.
If that much will deceive the prying eyes of the public...
What do you mean with that?
So this is how he always seduces women.
I think we can become the perfect partners.
This is the first time we ever met, correct?
Yes. I feel fate between you, who wishes to please your grandmother, and myself.
Please marry me.
You belittle me.
I'd much rather remain single than have a marriage like that!
[Only Just Married]
[Episode 1]
Momose-san, aren't you wetter than before?
Of course, she would pour water on him.
You eccentric, white asparagus!
Excuse me.
Yes, Okado speaking.
Momose, are you just sweating weird?
I'm terribly sorry, I must leave.
You haven't had the ham yet.
It was from the hospital saying my grandmother collapsed.
In that case, Inoue, take her to the hospital by taxi.
I shall go.
Absolutely no!
[Touou General Hospital]
Grandma?
Akiha! That was quick!
- You're up, are you all right? - Yes.
It was a mild heart failure.
I just drank medicine, so I'm fine.
I'm so glad...
It really surprised me.
The seizure was painful, and I even fainted,
but I can't leave without seeing you as a bride.
That's really not laughable.
So? Who is that?
Introduce him to me.
This is Momose-san from our client advertising agency.
- We were drinking together, and he brought me here. - I see.
Akiha has been in your care.
As have I.
Are you Okado-san's relative? May we speak?
Of course.
[Hatsue Okado]
In part, it's her age, but her heart has become quite weak.
If an attack occurs again, there is no guarantee to her life.
First, meals and exercise.
Take care of her day-to-day habits.
Additionally, avoid anything that would stress her heart.
Could you elaborate?
For example, steer clear of anything that would shock her.
- Is that so? - Yes!
Momose-san, were you still here?
He told me already, Akiha.
- So you're currently dating him? - Excuse me?
If there's someone in your life, tell me!
I plan on marrying her soon.
Marriage!
I had just gone to get the forms.
My goodness!
Grandma, is your heart okay?
I thought Akiha would never marry anyone.
It has always been my dream...
to see you as a bride.
Oh, right!
Why not write your names on this form now?
- Great idea. - That's ridiculous.
Show your grandma! Allow her to be happy!
This is all wrong!
We are only writing our names. Shouldn't that be fine?
But...
Your grandmother will be sad.
Avoid anything that would stress her heart.
Steer clear of anything that would shock her.
As long as we are only writing our names.
Here you are.
Someone is well prepared.
[Marriage Registration Form]
I'm only writing my name.
We are not submitting this.
[Akiha Okado]
Then it is my turn.
[Shu Momose]
[Husband to be: Shu Momose] [Wife to be: Akiha Okado]
Congratulations!
Congratulations.
Thank you for accompanying me to the hospital.
Before I forget, please return that thing from earlier to me.
- "Earlier"? - The marriage registration form.
I will pour water on you again.
Your grandmother will be sad.
This isn't something an outsider like me should criticize,
but I think you should quit seeking a partner in name only.
You'll lose out on true happiness.
No matter where I search, there is no one I wish to share my life with.
No matter who I marry, no further unhappiness awaits me.
That's why it'll all be the same.
- The same? - That's why someone like you,
who felt nothing towards marriage, was ideal.
I can't meet that ideal.
I will be honest. Even if you keep searching, you'll only find people who are after your money, criminals,
or other people with odd circumstances.
Is that so?
What a shame.
Akiha?
Uncle Mamoru!
Are you going to sell Grandma's eatery?
You see, my company doesn't have enough funds.
If we don't gather some money, we will go bankrupt.
Wait one moment.
That store is... Grandma's...
She runs the store, but the land and building are in my name.
No way...
Have you told Grandma yet?
- I'm about to. - Don't tell her!
Grandma's heart can't handle stress right now.
Even so...
I will do something about the money.
How much do you need?
Seven million yen, as soon as possible.
Seven million?
[Savings Account]
That's nowhere near enough.
If I use this all up, I can't go independent.
However, I have plenty of memories at that eatery.
More importantly, Grandma...
Why didn't I eat more tonight?
I shouldn't have bought that wallet or electric bike!
Akiha? I heard from Uncle Mamoru. Mother collapsed?
She's fine now and will be discharged next week.
I see. That's good to hear.
At times like these, someone needs to be close-by.
Rather, where are you now?
A resort in Malaysia.
A painting of mine finally sold,
but your father used it to buy a bike.
We were just short of a plane ticket.
Akiha, it's a Ducati! We're on a five-year loan, though.
I can't expect any money from parents like that.
Please!
I don't understand.
As I said, please give me a three-year bonus in advance. Or five, if you can.
Okado, lending you money is easy,
but that doesn't benefit you in any way.
- Let's not care about that. - But it's important!
You say you wanted to go independent, and what did I say?
- To save up. - Freelancers don't immediately get work.
Save up enough money to live for a year without earnings.
And then? Do you plan on borrowing money from us and going independent?
All right. I get it. You don't want to lend me money.
That's not it.
Yes?
We are the second-hand appraisers you called earlier!
[Kettle | Rice cooker]
[Microwave | Dishwasher | Refrigerator]
In total, this amounts to 72,500 yen.
What?
This is a painting by my mother.
She said it would sell for 300,000 yen.
Have you heard of Okado Yoko?
Who?
Speaking of, that sofa of yours would sell for a lot.
No way! Anything but this.
Okado, what are your lunch plans?
I'm...
- going to pass. - Are you dieting?
- Something like that. - Then we'll be off.
- See you. - See you.
I'm so hungry...
She's alive.
It's dangerous for a woman to be sleeping here.
I was merely resting.
Yuito,
- leave that old woman behind. - Old woman?
You should pace yourself when drinking, Old Sister.
I'm not drunk.
- See? - I'm just hungry!
[Reduce food waste. Bargain food items, due to defects]
[Assorted canned drinks: 9 yen]
[Hand sanitizer gel: 99 yen]
[Delicious pickled plum with shiso: 54 yen]
[Miso: 84 yen]
["Love At First Sight" 2kg: 380 yen]
What? It's so cheap!
When I'm short on money, I shop here.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Now I can stay alive.
Nothing has moved me more this year than finding cheap rice.
Have you never cooked for yourself?
Well, my job has an irregular schedule.
A working adult often eats out with coworkers and associates.
Do you work? I thought you collapsed because you're jobless.
I'm actually a designer.
- Oh, a designer? - Do you have a problem with that?
Not really.
I'll be going.
Remember to wash your rice.
I know that.
Momose-san?
Why are you here?
My apartment is nearby.
So we are neighbors.
If you'd like, have this.
Rice?
I can't cook it.
I sold my rice cooker
so I have no way of cooking it.
I hate all this...
I'm hungry...
Thank you so much.
If only I owned a rice cooker.
No, this is plenty.
Not only did you lend me your pot, you cooked the rice as well.
The pot is no big deal...
Rather, you seem to be having a tough time.
I have a habit of running ahead, without weighing the consequences.
Why did I sell my refrigerator and the washer...
Speaking of, how much money do you still owe your uncle?
I'm not even close to my goal...
I have a good idea.
What is it? Please tell me! I will do anything.
Marry a rich man like me and have them aid you.
Are you still going on about that?
I've been wondering,
why are you so hung up on marriage?
You said it'd deceive the prying eyes of the public.
Why marry, even if it's for camouflage?
That's because...
I have someone I love.
Someone you love...
Yes.
Wait, what?
I'm even more confused. Just marry her!
No can do. She is someone I can't marry.
Then you want to marry someone to forget her?
No, I'd say it's the opposite.
It's so I can continue to love her.
If she ever found out how I feel, I don't want her to avoid me,
to be considerate, or come to hate me.
Plus, I don't want any meddlesome outsiders
telling me to "move on."
Anyways, everything would be solved if I get married.
In other words...
you wish to use marriage as a guise for your fruitless love.
"A guise for my fruitless love"?
Yes, that's an accurate catchphrase.
Okado-san,
shall I lend you five million yen?
I assume marriage is inclusive to that deal?
Of course.
If so, I will have to refuse.
I haven't fallen so far as to sell my family register for money.
I see.
That's a shame.
I apologize for being so forward. If you'll excuse me.
- Oh, your pot! - I shall give it to you.
[Uncle Mamoru]
Akiha speaking.
Sorry to ask, but when do you think the money will come in?
I can't give you an exact date.
Could you get it this week? We're cutting it close...
That's impossible...
Then I will tell Hatsue about the store, forgive me.
You absolutely can't! She will die!
My employees are also on the verge of death.
I understand.
- I'll get it ready. - What?
By the end of this week,
I will hand you five million yen.
Momose-san!
It's not like I will die.
I'm only stamping this registration form and turning it in.
When I return the money, we can divorce.
We are not becoming a real married couple.
So...
in exchange for this marriage registration form...
please lend me five million yen.
I'm not selling myself. This is an equivalent exchange.
To be honest, I can't relate to your motives.
But if you need a guise,
I will lend you my life for five million yen.
♫ Just now ♫
I have no issues with lending money,
but this will remain on your family register, even if I'm repaid.
It's not like I'll die.
A blemish or two on my family register for five million yen?
Bring it on.
What is it?
Okado-san, you said so yourself,
"No one so convenient will pop up and have a fake marriage with you."
That, I did.
But right now, I...
I understand.
I shall accept your proposal.
Thank you very much.
I will be in your care!
The only things I brought to my newlywed life were my sofa,
a table, a shelf, and several boxes.
I had zero intention of getting married,
and now, I'm with this eccentric, white asparagus.
- Here we are. - What?
Seriously?
I'm rather close with the director of my workplace. They lent me their house while they're overseas.
Here, this is your key, Okado-san.
Allow me to confirm something.
Once I repay you, we can divorce, right?
That is correct.
Afterward, I will say I can't forget my ex-wife
and have no plans on remarrying, avoiding public scrutiny.
A cat?
This is Omochi.
I'm sorry, I forgot to mention it.
Okado-san, do you dislike cats?
So cute!
Pardon me.
It's so big!
I will show you to your room in a bit.
- Keep most of your belongings in your room. - All right.
What wonderful interior design.
This all belongs to the aforementioned director.
Use it all with care.
The sunlight feels so good!
- Okado-san. - Yes?
- Your belongings go to your room. - Got it.
Your key.
Pardon?
- Your key. - Oh.
When I visited your room the other day, there was something I didn't notice due to its emptiness.
Okado-san, are you the type to leave mail on your dining table?
Yes, I might be.
Are you the type to misplace important items?
Yes, exactly.
Sometimes I forget to pay the utility fee.
Do you perhaps wear clothes straight out of the dryer?
You know all too well.
And you keep packets of sauce in the refrigerator, saying you'll use them one day.
In the end, they go unused.
I keep ice packs too.
I see.
Okado-san,
outwardly, we are a married couple.
Yet that's a guise for my fruitless love. At most, we are strangers.
As such, we will not intervene in each other's lives in the house.
Think of this as a communal living space.
- Understood. - In order for us to comfortably coexist,
make sure to keep shared spaces clean and tidy.
- Understood. - For one, place nothing on the dining table.
Kitchen appliances are shared but use your own plates and utensils.
Meals and laundry are separate.
I will take care of shared detergent and necessities.
Tell me when they're about to run out.
Don't tell me after.
He's to nit-picky.
In regards to old items in the refrigerator...
Am I allowed to live in such a nice house?
Even though I'm in debt,
this is nicer than my previous place.
- Yes? - May I have a moment?
Oh... of course.
What's that?
I thought I'd write down your debt to make it easier to visualize.
When this number becomes zero,
our marriage contract will be dissolved. [Divorce form]
I see.
Take a look at this as well.
Things to be aware of when cohabiting.
Nothing is concrete when said verbally, so I wrote it down. [Rules for Cohabitation]
Did you organize all this?
They're rules for the bare minimum...
Rather, I thought such laws would be necessary.
Laws... [Rules for lifestyle]
As I said earlier, I shall provide monthly rent, utility bills,
various necessities, and condiments for cooking.
You can leave those costs out of your debt.
Thank you.
As for cleaning our shared spaces, let's divide them by the week.
I can do more of the cleaning.
- After all, you're letting me live here. - No,
that sort of consideration will cause interference with each other's lives.
Let's uphold that promise of not intervening in the other's life.
Understood.
Additionally, there is one obvious rule I did not write.
Though we will live together, do not fall in love with the other.
After all, we are a fake couple.
You're right.
As if I'd fall for you!
One last thing. You haven't stamped this with your name yet.
About that... I misplaced my seal.
How about you be more aware of your messiness and tidy up?
His wording!
I will look for it.
Please do.
Can I do this?
Even so, my freedom is currently shackled by debt.
Five million.
I have to hurry and pay that five million and regain my freedom...
If I could somehow repay that in two years...
[Graph of my Repayment Schedule] [X-Axis: Time it takes to repay the debt / Y-Axis: Amount left]
I'd need to make 2,500,000 a year.
In one month, I'd need to make a little over 200,000.
That's way above my pay grade.
Let's say I make around... 80,000 a month.
No, I don't need to pay for rent while I'm here. If I'm real frugal...
I can make... 130,000 a month.
It's Momose-san's alarm.
We won't intervene in the other's life.
It doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me!
Hey, turn off your alarm already!
Momose-san?
Momose-san!
No way...
He's asleep.
To think he was not a morning person...
If it's like that every day, I will be sleep deprived.
Bear with it. Once I repay everything, I will be free. Until then...
Wow, someone looks tired.
No one wants a newlywed wife looking like that.
I'm sure it's hard to get used to at first.
Like his alarm is too loud, he nags about dishwashing,
I have to be considerate when bathing, his alarms are too loud.
No, no.
You need to greet him with a smile.
Complaints are taboo.
The house must be clean, and the cooking must taste good.
That's the household a wife must upkeep.
- You're exactly right. - Right?
No way an ideal married life like that exists.
Especially since this is all a stamp-sealed sham.
Hello!
I came to deliver the bento boxes.
We didn't order any.
We are Momo's Bento!
- What is that? - Aren't you Akiha-san?
Why do you know my...
We are Momo's Bento!
- Don't come any closer! - Absolutely delicious. We are Momo's Bento!
No!
Please help me!
Please help, a weird person is following me!
I'm terribly sorry for my rudeness.
It's fine, it's fine.
Once again, I'm Shu's elder brother, Asahi. Nice to meet you.
I'm his mother, Sumire. Nice to meet you. This here is...
His father, Tooru.
Though I was unaware, what I did was terribly rude...
Not at all, we are the ones who suddenly imposed.
Shu said he would arrange for us to meet,
but we simply couldn't wait!
How could we!
I thought he would at least mention we ran a bento store.
"Momo's Bento"...
We ran the company as a couple,
until Asahi took up the mantle eight years ago.
Momose-san!
Oh, Shu, welcome home.
Why?
We happened to run into Akiha outside the house.
If you're coming, tell me...
If we did, you'd definitely say no, right?
Shu, you don't tell Akiha anything.
Well, I didn't think you'd come over.
Siblings?
That's not the issue! Right, Akiha?
They're not alike at all!
Exactly.
Is something wrong?
Oh, nothing.
Your bento looks so delicious.
Try it, it's really good!
We didn't know whether to bring you our bento, or Daifuku from Kaneido.
- Kaneido Daifuku? - The Daifuku from Kaneidou
have always been Asahi and Shu's favorites.
That is unexpected.
I'm going to go change.
The alarm blares as loud as ever...
Bear with it.
Bear with it!
[October new theme: Home Cooking of a Sloppy Woman]
I shall send you a draft by tomorrow since we're short on time.
About that draft,
I thought it would be better to refine the details
so I'd like the layout to look like this,
the color scheme to be like this,
and the title's font to be this.
Is this what you'd like?
Is there something wrong?
He's mocking me. This is straight plagiarism.
You're on a rampage.
Director!
I can't do this. We shouldn't accept a job like this!
Now now, don't get so heated. Be patient with them.
If you want to see a rainbow, you must wait in the rain.
- That rain will one day— - That's enough of that!
Just bear with it a little.
Bear with it, bear with it.
Here and there, it's all the same.
How much do I have to bear for the sake of money?
[Japanese Sweets Store, Kaneidou]
What? Kaneidou is...
I'm home.
Omochi!
You sure are cute.
Look at this.
This will lift Momose-san's spirits. [Black bean salted daifuku]
Am I too nice?
[Momose]
It's perfect!
What's the matter?
Well...
I'm really sorry.
I didn't know you couldn't microwave plates with gold leaf.
- I'll make sure to pay you back. - That isn't the issue.
This is an issue of trust.
The rules state to use our own plates
so why did you use my plate for your food?
- No, this one's— - An elementary schooler would understand these rules.
Though this may be a guise for my fruitless love,
I should've chosen a better partner. I will reflect on that.
However, now that we're living here, try not to bother the other.
Try not to bother the other?
- Exactly. - Pardon me.
Yes?
- That's what I'd like to say. - What?
H-Hold on!
This is my...
This clock which rings every morning for tens of minutes
is a hundred times more bothersome!
Stop it with this alarm if you don't want to be a bother!
- But that's— - No objections!
If you can't, I'm leaving!
Morning.
Good morning.
Will the gods of design grace us today?
Chief, did you turn down yesterday's job offer?
No, I handed that job to Kosugi.
Please let me do it.
I'll make something great that's not plagiarized.
That's impossible to do alone. It's due this week.
- You won't be able to go home. - That's what I want.
Until he admits he's wrong, I'm not going back.
Sure, I'm borrowing money, but I'm also lending him my family register.
[Thursday 9 September]
We'll head out first.
Good work.
Okado, don't push yourself.
You're a newlywed. Is the household all right?
No need to worry.
[Friday 10 September]
[Home Cooking of a Sloppy Woman]
Do I have something here?
I guess I don't need this stamp anymore...
Are you staying over tonight as well?
That's the third day in a row.
I've become comfortable.
I'm going drinking, come along.
Yes!
- Good work! - Good work.
Here you go.
- This is... - To celebrate your marriage.
If you wanted advance pay for the wedding, say so.
I can't give you advanced pay, but use this.
I cannot accept this.
Don't hold back.
Really, I can't.
This is the sort of thing you graciously accept.
Well...
I think marriage is impossible for me.
I can't live with others.
My parents have always been free-spirited and never at home.
My grandma, who raised me, always worked at the store at night.
I've always been alone.
I have no experience living with others.
The most minuscule things become unbearable,
and I keep getting irritated by the other person.
Plus...
we butt heads over the smallest issues.
- Everyone is like that. - What?
Couples are still individuals.
Living with another individual is full of stress.
Have you experienced this before?
I still do.
My partner gets angry if I leave the lights on,
if I forget the trash, if I leave up the toilet seat,
that my pillow is somehow stinkier,
that plastic bottles don't walk to the trash...
But I love her so we got married.
If there is love, a married couple is a pair, no matter how big the argument.
I said something profound just now, didn't I?
Are you sure a paid tab suffices as a marriage gift?
Yes, Sir. Thank you.
[Morita Design]
Do you still have work tonight?
No, I'll just grab my bag and be out.
Momose-san...
Make sure to lock up.
- Good work. - Good work.
Come on in.
Do you need something?
I'd like to ask you a favor.
Could you accept a compromise?
A compromise?
I'd like for you to...
wake me up every morning.
Excuse me?
Back at home, my older brother always woke me up.
A person's voice immediately wakes me.
If you wake me up, there is no need for the alarm.
Didn't we say not to intervene—
That's why I'd like to propose a compromise.
I reflected upon my words and realized that if we're living together, we will have to interact.
Please do not force yourself to bear with things and tell me.
We're... not a real couple, but there's no need to be so reserved towards one another.
Because of the "couple" we are, we should clearly speak our minds...
and become a "married couple" fit for us.
Batteries?
That alarm clock... will no longer ring.
I understand.
♫ Things are difficult to tell ♫
I promised this person I'd lend him my life.
Maybe I'll try a little harder as a "fake wife."
♫ I can't sleep in a sleepy night, I'm waiting for an unpredictable return ♫
[Stamp]
[Okado]
♫ What to expect every time you become one thing. Are you waiting a nearby day? ♫
I've confirmed your stamp.
One more thing. This is my payment for the month.
♫ It's screaming near my corner and the future cries ♫
I've confirmed your pay.
♫ Is it selfish? ♫
♫ If you just... if you just... capture your heart ♫
I'll change the amount.
Please do.
♫ You are not warm enough to withstand the cold ♫
♫ I can warm you up ♫
Just 4,870,000 left.
♫ But, there is no lie in these eyes ♫
Since we didn't get to eat them last time.
♫ This is the beginning of love ♫
You realized one of the Daifuku was for you?
- If you don't want it... - I do, I do!
Allow me to restate this.
I'll be in your care.
Same here.
♫ I want to tighten it ♫
Thanks for the food.
♫ I just want you... want you... to admit it ♫
If you'd please. [Marriage form]
I shall now confirm the details.
Now, with this one document,
I have become this person's wife.
Momose-san? It's morning.
Momose-san?
♫ I want you ♫
Good morning.
Morning.
♫ It's a genius that bothers you ♫
♫ but you two are tied together ♫
The difference between how he is normally versus in the morning still shocks me.
♫ That's why I think of you even today ♫
♫ You are not warm enough to withstand the cold ♫
- ...nk you. - What?
Thank you.
♫ My love is not confident at all ♫
It's not here. Where I put it? Living with another person's a real pain.
But it's not all bad.
Found it.
♫ I'm sure this is the beginning of love ♫
[Miharu]
Oh, yes, I wonder who the person of Momose's "fruitless love" is?
Morning.
Shu-kun? Morning.
You're actually awake. How rare.
I heard you turned in your marriage forms yesterday?
Congratulations!
Thanks.
I want to meet your wife soon.
Someone he can't marry...
- Miharu. - Yes?
Did we buy potato starch?
Isn't it in the usual spot?
- Sorry, were you calling someone? - Yes, Shu-kun.
I have to go, see you!
Jeez!
[team credit]
In order to continue loving that person...
he'd enter a fake marriage.
What sort of "fruitless love" is it?

[Next Episode]
Allow me to help!
- This is my wife, Miharu. - Hello, I'm Miharu.
Make sure Asahi and Miharu don't discover our fake marriage. [The secret's out about their fake marriage!?]
If I was a man, I'd definitely fall for her. [Their first sleepover brings them closer!?]
I was a fool for choosing you.
This is all because I did something unnecessary.
The person that Momose-san loves is...
