Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Love Under Contract Team @Viki.com

Me, too.

Momose-san,

I love you!

Let us begin by dating.

Okay.

So... what should I do first?

I wonder.

Did you two hook up?

Mamiya-san.

Did you two hook up?

Yes, we did.

If that's all, get going.

Yes, Ma'am.

Our apologies.

- I have returned. - Welcome back.

- Do you have a minute? - Of course.

So... here.

- What is this? - I found it on my way home.

It was too cute not to buy...

Thank you.

Pajamas?

Don't you think that cat looks like Omochi?

Actually, I bought one, too.

Matching clothes...

Is that lame at our age?

- Don't force yourself to wear it. - I'll wear it.

Let's wear this and sleep together.

"Sleep," means...

I'll go take a bath.

What? Are we taking that step?

All right.

Yes?

How cute!

- Isn't it weird? - Not at all!

Sorry to make you play along.

I don't mind. Would you like some beer?

I would.

- Come on in. - Thanks.

- Here you are. - Thanks.

Cheers.

What should we talk about?

Momose-san,

please think of a conversation topic.

Even if ask...

Is work progressing smoothly?

Yes, it is.

Yesterday, I received work from a publisher upon Sensei Maruzono's recommendation.

I see you're working hard.

- It's thanks to you. - Not at all.

It's because of your own efforts.

Whenever I came home exhausted from work,

I would relax on this sofa,

crack open a beer and doze off. To me, that was utmost bliss.

Utmost bliss?

But now, it's not like that anymore.

Sitting here, drinking beer with you

after a long hard day,

has become my new bliss.

I hope we can continue and spend our days together...

So... Momose-san?

Are we perhaps... getting in the mood?

I can't believe it.

He's asleep?

I see.

So this black that surrounds the title, pulls this page together.

Does this use rich black?

Perhaps that's why this feels so dignified...

You're quite knowledgeable about design.

Oh, my wife is a designer.

- Oh, your wife! - Yes.

- Just the other day, she was making a flyer like this. - I see.

Speaking of, I may have a book she designed.

My wife designed this cover. [The Tropical Fish, and A Boy]

Wow, what a wonderful design.

Right? It's as you say.

My wife hand drew all of this.

He's showing off, prattling on about his, "wife-this", "wife-that".

He's really happy they got back together.

- Speaking of, did they remarry? - Who knows.

- Hey, Momose. - Yes?

Did you remarry Akiha-san?

Not yet. However, I plan on it soon.

I'm prepared to have the awareness and resolve of a husband.

Is that so?

Then I'll be leaving for my next meeting.

Boss, here.

It's a book my wife designed.

What is the point of promoting her design to me?

[Meandering Famous Stores, On the Hunt for Bread]

I'm happy for you, Okado.

You made up with your husband, didn't you?

Who told you?

Walls have ears, partitions have eyes. Rumors spread fast!

That's terrifying...

- Who cares, it's good news. - Exactly!

- But isn't all the paperwork annoying? - Paperwork?

You went from Okado to Momose,

then returned to Okado, and now you're back to Momose.

- Your license, your cards, your health insurance... - What?

From an outsider's point of view,

I guess I would remarry the guy I divorced.

But that's something we will decide, together.

So you don't plan on remarrying?

I only got married because it was "fake."

Otherwise, I don't understand "marriage," or being a "married couple."

I want to take it slow by dating

and won't feel like marrying, until we know each other better.

I wonder how Momose-san feels.

Until now, you two were unified by paper and living together.

He may be overly conscious of the act of "marriage."

- No way. - Oh, right.

Aki, I'm going to Kumamoto at the end of this month.

Kumamoto?

A professor who helped me in University invited me.

I decided I would intern there while studying for my licensing exam.

From now on,

I won't be able to hear you out like this.

- I see. - Look,

when I properly become a vet, I will come back to you.

If you don't become happy,

I'll confess to you for real.

Thanks.

You have to become happy, too!

Thanks.

Yes. Inoue is in charge of that.

Yes, have a nice day.

[Wedding Fair] [Wishing you a happy wedding!]

[Wedding Fair] [Wishing you a happy wedding!]

Okado, I just met up with Tsutsui-san from Aaron Planning.

He requested you to design something for their next event.

"Soup Curry Festival"? [Hokkaido Soup Curry Festival]

We don't have much in common with Aaron Planning, do we?

I was also perplexed.

Maybe this is due to Sensei Maruzono?

Word must have spread, because of her work with Sensei Maruzono.

That must be it!

Do you think so?

I'm glad.

I'm so glad!

Oh! Brother.

An awkward guy like you

needs someone headstrong and straightforward like Aki-chan!

All right, let's cook red rice.

- Once it's done, bring some to Aki-chan. - You're overreacting.

Overreacting? This is something to celebrate!

How about you hold a marriage ceremony this time?

Actually, just earlier...

They are open on Akiha-san's birthday, so I put in a tentative booking.

Will that be all right?

Did you discuss this with her?

I plan to when I go home.

She'll be ecstatic! It's a once-in-a-lifetime memory.

Shu, stay right there.

I'll go buy glutinous rice.

Hey, Shu-kun.

I hope you will be happy this time.

This marriage is going to be "real," right?

Just as I thought.

I caught on about your fake marriage.

What?

You loved someone else, didn't you?

I can assume that's why you got married.

Sorry about that. Since we will continue to be family,

I thought secrets shouldn't be allowed.

I...

I've always... loved a certain person.

However,

because I was a spineless coward,

I never had the courage to confess.

I made excuses, saying it was enough to watch over her,

and that I would be all right if she continued to smile.

I convinced myself

into believing those feelings were love.

Yet, since meeting Akiha-san...

I realized that wasn't true love.

I...

love Akiha-san.

I really love her.

As expected, I was right.

Do you remember my sixth sense?

- What? - I said so, didn't I?

You and Akiha-chan match one another.

Miharu...

Thank you

for everything.

Same here.

Thank you.

Good work today.

Good work.

- Delicious! - Agreed.

Oh, I want to tell you something.

My acquaintance who owns this house called me.

He asked us to leave.

Pardon? - He wants

to lend this house to his nephew and wife next month.

Is that so?

We will be moving out in the month.

I guess we'll have to find a new place.

Though,

I'm going to be busy.

A client I've never worked with before

requested me.

That's amazing.

Out of curiosity, who would that be?

A company named "Aaron Planning."

Is the person in charge Tsutsui-san?

Exactly, Tsutsui-san.

He complimented your designs.

What?

D-Did you...

show him my work?

Yes, this morning.

So that's why...

Why would you do something like that?

I wanted him to see my wife's work.

- Wife? - Yes.

- Wife? - Yes?

We are not married, are we?

Well, we were... But we are divorced now.

Yes. However, we have reconciled our feelings.

On that note...

I thought this might be necessary soon

and prepared it ahead of time.

[Marriage Registration Form]

You must be joking.

Wait a second.

Yes, we did reconcile our feelings,

but that doesn't mean immediate marriage...

Do you not want to get married?

I...

don't think we need to rush things.

We should get to know each other—

Since we reconciled our feelings,

I thought it was only obvious to get married.

You prattle on about marriage, but what do you mean?

- What do I "mean"? - You want to get married to me, right?

If you must ask me for a definition...

A romantic pair who have their names entered in the family register and live together?

Can't we just stay together?

Well, but—

Anyways, stop bragging about "your wife" or "being a husband."

[Only Just Married] [Finale]

In celebration of Yuito-kun's journey forth,

cheers!

Cheers!

Work hard on your veterinarian studies.

Thank you very much.

Good luck!

Thank you for doing all this for me!

When are you headed to Kumamoto?

My professor said I could come at the end of the month.

Is Aki not joining today?

She still has work. Right, Momose-san?

Oh, yes.

Then let's invite Masuda-chan.

He holds a grudge for not being invited last time.

Last time?

- Oh, when your bias got married? - Right, the rumor!

I really troubled you all that time.

Hikari has a boyfriend now.

You do?

Mr. Generic, who looks like her bias.

Lucky you, I also want to attain happiness.

How are things with our boss?

There is no hope.

Kosugi-san, you're only after his achievements.

You need to judge the inner character of men.

Didn't you gather anything from sitting next to me?

Momose-san, how are things with Okado?

Have I been ignored?

You're going to remarry, right?

Oh, well...

Wait, you won't?

Today's celebration is about Makihara-kun, not myself.

I bet Aki didn't show because she had an argument with Momose-san.

Though Momose-san wants to get married,

Aki said she didn't understand why she had to get married.

Wow, he raises another wild topic.

What is marriage...

Rather, what does it mean to be a married couple?

Momose-san asked an even crazier question!

Now you're worried over that?

Dawdle again, and you'll be right back at "fruitless."

Can't we simply love one another?

Do you think you've reached the goal since you confessed?

- What? - A confession isn't the end-all.

Confession and marriage are totally different.

If so, what is marriage?

I don't know.

- None of us are married. - Yes, we have no idea.

Anyway, cheers!

- Cheers. - I want a girlfriend, don't you?

[Shofukumaru]

Is anyone up for a round two?

- No, thank you. - No, thank you.

Sorry, Chief, it ended again.

Yes, come some other time.

Momose-san.

If you ever make Aki cry, I'll come home flying.

So show me the answer you two came up with.

I understand.

[Hokkaido Soup Curry Festival]

Geez!

Yes?

Do you have a moment?

Sure.

So...

We'll be handing over the house on December 31.

I got a day off, so I plan on moving out on the 24.

When will you move out?

Why are we moving out on separate days?

Living together while unmarried would be strange, right?

Why did you decide that?

A-Am I wrong?

You're totally wrong!

Didn't you say we should begin by dating?

In that case, before we can even consider marriage, we need to know each other better.

Do you understand me at all?

How well do you know me?

- For example, that job offer. - The job?

I want to gain work as an individual, Akiha Okado.

I don't want the stability of marriage. Are you proposing to me while understanding all that?

Say something.

If you don't, I won't understand.

It seems we should distance ourselves and think this through.

- What? - I'll head to my grandma's house.

My belongings consist of what you see.

I can move out easily.

And what about that sofa?

The sofa...

It doesn't matter!

I'll just... sell it somewhere!

Why did it turn out like this...

[Morita Design]

[Soup Curry Festival: Shibuya]

Okado, you look out of it.

Sorry.

It's me, me.

We have a meeting.

- Masuda-san. - Yes?

In regards to this job...

the people from Aaron Planning heard I was Momose-san's wife,

and, thus, requested me as the designer.

It had nothing to do with my actual skill.

All work stems from connections, more or less.

I wonder if I should reject this offer—

No, you shouldn't.

Listen, our daily work as an agency

is to weave together our best guess of people's feelings

and varying relationships. It's all like a textile made of bonds.

But above all that,

we want to create something good.

We need creators like you to showcase your spirit in the little space between negotiations.

That's exactly why we work hard.

- Spirit... - Yes.

Spirit... may sound a bit outdated.

Create a design that blows away your client

and use your passion to make them believe they were right to hire you.

I think these two things are the most important.

You're right.

Understood, Masuda-san.

- Thanks a bunch! - No need to pick up on my dialect! (T/N: dialect from Kyoto)

Thank you for coming all this way.

No problem.

I'll see you next week.

Take care.

Pardon me, Morita-san.

Yes?

- I must ask something unrelated to work. - What is it?

You've divorced your wife but are still partners, correct?

How do you...

That means your relationship is an "informal marriage."

Did you not object to it?

Of course, I did, at first.

I thought marriage was as simple as my wife's surname changing.

After our divorce, my wife's family register and surname were no longer mine,

and I felt like I lost her.

Although, that's just a selfish opinion from the man's side.

Selfish...

At first, I thought of all the troublesome taxes and paperwork

and wondered why she wanted a divorce.

However, I think my wife wanted to live freely and independently.

I tried too hard to be a good husband and father.

On the contrary,

that may have stolen my wife's desire to live using her own efforts.

A married couple comes in many shapes.

It's so obvious.

Even so, when it occurred to me, I wasn't ready to accept it.

However,

I've come to believe that this is our ideal relationship.

Wow, that takes the cake for great quotes.

It seriously may be my best one yet.

[Hatsuya]

So what's bothering you?

I have bad news,

news that went well

and much-needed advice regarding said news...

You're being quite vague.

Surprises aren't good for your heart.

That's why I need you to prepare yourself.

What? Did you decide to divorce Momose-san?

- Yes. - Oh really.

You're not surprised?

When you run a tavern, it's not such an uncommon story.

We decided to try dating,

but things have turned sour again.

Your life is busy.

And now...

I have to move out.

Could I stay here until I find a new house?

It's your own house. You don't need to hold back.

Thank you.

Grandma, did you get along with grandpa?

We were always arguing.

But you didn't divorce, right?

If he had been around a while longer, things may have been different.

He passed before my patience ran out.

Is that so...

Listen well, Akiha.

It's wonderful to be given one more chance.

Once you cannot see them,

"one more" becomes "no more."

You must live with no regrets.

I understand.

[Delivery Service Corrier]

[Send to: Hatsuya, Mrs. Hatsue Okado]

Thank you very much.

Once you cannot see them, "one more" becomes "no more."

Have you finished gathering your belongings?

Yes.

I'll be heading to work

and will go straight to my grandma's place on the way back.

Understood.

T-The second-hand buyers will arrive in the evening for the sofa.

Thank you for being there to greet them.

No worries.

In that case... I've been in your care.

So...

I feel the very same.

I've been in your care.

Omochi...

Sorry.

I hope I will see you again.

[Hokkaido Soup Curry Festival]

All these designs look wonderful.

I especially like this one.

Thank you very much!

Okado.

What do you think?

T-They're great.

Thank you for coming.

Where is the sofa?

Second floor, first room.

- We'll get right to work. - Thank you.

[Corrier]

[Corrier]

Wait.

Truck, please wait!

Wait!

[Shu Momose]

Hello?

Akiha-san, the sofa! You shouldn't sell it!

- Huh? - The sofa!

Your red sofa!

The sofa?

I'm currently running after the sofa!

I almost caught up!

Anyhow! Please, come to the house!

Momose-san...

I got the sofa back.

Why?

I... love you, Akiha-san.

When we began our fake marriage,

you woke me up every day, since I'm not a morning person.

When I opened up about my fruitless love, you hugged me and became my ally.

When I felt disappointed about Miharu,

you said that was obvious because I loved her.

When I thought of making Miharu happy if Asahi couldn't,

you accepted it if it ended in happiness.

When I messed up and kissed you as a pick-me-up,

you forgave me and said it was all right.

- That's not what I— - Plus,

you confessed to me, even though I didn't know what I felt.

You forgave me, who wrongly tried to end it all.

Akiha-san, you've always accepted me, despite how bad I am at expressing myself.

At first, I thought nothing would change with a piece of paper,

but I was wrong.

Though we only just married, it all changed.

Akiha-san, you changed me.

I thought no further unhappiness awaited me...

Yet I've come to realize I desire to become happy.

Momose-san...

When that sofa was being taken away, I had a revelation.

My happiness

was the time I spent... drinking beer with you on that sofa.

Is that why you chased it?

I... want to become happy with you.

Me, too.

I also want to...

become happy with you, Momose-san.

Sure.

Momose-san, let's get married.

What?

I've thought about it a lot since then.

What makes a "married couple"?

I didn't reach an answer.

Entering the family register or not...

To be frank, I don't mind either way.

But we met because we "just married."

Maybe if we try again, good things will come our way.

You may be right.

Wow, good things do happen.

♫ Things are difficult to tell when you're closer ♫

♫ Somehow, my chest hurts ♫

♫ I can't sleep in a sleepy night, ♫

♫ I'm waiting for an unpredictable return ♫

♫ What to expect every time you become one thing. Are you waiting a nearby day? ♫

♫ Slowly ♫

[Okado]

Good.

Yes. All right.

- Omochi. - I understand.

Please excuse me.

♫ I hate goodbyes ♫

I have news regarding my acquaintance's nephew and wife.

Because the wife insists on being near a train station, they will no longer be moving in.

What? Then what happens to us?

We are allowed to remain here.

- Really? - Yes.

Yay!

We've already experienced a fake marriage.

♫ My love is not confident at all ♫

Who knew they would hook up.

Wasn't Kosugi Senpai aiming for the chief?

She was "aiming" for a lot.

Hikari-san, what about your bakery boyfriend?

- We broke up. - What?

As I thought, Ryuji-san is my one and only!

Then what does it mean to be a "real" married couple?

Are you here for business?

We'll go do business wherever our client is.

- Do you want to grab a meal tonight? - Sure.

Just because you enter a family register, doesn't mean you'll find an answer.

Looks like all is going well.

Yes, she's growing up in good health.

What? Mamiya-san?

When I deleted my marriage hunting app, I felt lighter

so I just wandered out here.

- Do you want some milk? - I do!

Both encounters, and marriages come in many different forms.

Hurry.

- Here. - Fumi-chan, wait!

You work your husband to the bone.

- I got it, I got it. - Okay then, one more store.

The same goes for married couples.

♫ I want you. Sometimes I get angry ♫

Michiru... [It's a Baby Girl!]

Hell yes! Ouch!

Are you okay?

In that case, we just need to become a married couple, fit for us.

♫ That's why I think of you even today ♫

♫ You are not warm enough to withstand the cold ♫

♫ I can warm you up ♫

♫ My love is not confident at all ♫

Momose-san, it's morning.

Momose-san!

Good morning.

Good morning. Here.

Thank you for waking me.

You're welcome.

I'll make delicious sunny-side-ups for breakfast.

Score!

We meet half-way and create our ideal love.
