[Previously] Congratulations. I will let you be my wife.

Sakuraba, I'll keep my schedule open on your birthday again.

- It's been a while, Sakuraba! - Kiyomiya-san!

- Why don't you take the exam to get a promotion? - Okay!

I will have you marry this girl.

I'm planning to work in New York someday.

I'll take you overseas for our honeymoon. That would probably help your desire of wanting to live in New York.

I'm tired of you! Don't bother me anymore.

She filed a complaint about your lesson.

You humiliated me!

I'm very sorry.

It's my birthday!

Happy birthday.

Let's go home.

- Is Sakuraba here? - She's not returning to the office today.

Don't tell anyone...

This is Junko's phone. Leave a message!

What's going on?

I've been acting strange ever since I met you.

H-Hold on!

I won't let you leave.

- You're lying... - I hate lies.

- Open this door! - You must be tired.

Please rest.

- I'll call the police! - The pajamas are in the closet.

Do you know what you're doing?

- Please lay out your futon. - Hoshikawa-san!

- What are you planning to do? - I'm not leaving your side.

What?

Come on...

Didn't I tell you?

- I can't concentrate on anything if you're not by my side. - I have no intention to get married!

- I thought you would be frightened if I did this. - I want to live in New York!

But I don't care. You're not leaving.

Don't you have a fiancée?

- It has to be you. - I have to go home!

- I need to bathe. - We have a bathroom.

- I need to do laundry! - We have a washing machine in the bathroom.

- I need to do my skincare! - There's some on the bathroom shelves.

- What if I have to use the toilet? - There's one right there.

I'm thirsty and hungry.

- There's plenty in the refrigerator. - I have to listen to music to fall asleep.

- I'll chant a sutra. - Absolutely not!

Oh, the cellphone!

I don't have a cellphone.

No, I'm talking about mine.

I will go and get it.

You've got to be kidding.

You already lost when you fell for her, I see.

It's past your bedtime.

Don't treat me like a kid! Put me down!

This is bad. I'm relaxed.

Hoshikawa-san?

Excuse me.

Were you there the entire time?

- Yes. - That's so creepy!

You need to say something if you're there!

Did you take a bath?

You see?

- What do you mean? - You need to get warm.

I have my bedding and hot tea. Don't worry.

I'm not worried.

- I'll be in a bind if you run away. - I'm the one in a bind...

Takane? What are you doing over there?

Someone's here!

She'll just make matters worse.

I heard that you cut the marriage meeting with Kaori-san short.

Did you go to that English class?

- Let's not talk about this here... - We have to do it here!

I can't bring this up in front of the others!

Didn't you promise your late parents that you would become a respectable chief priest

at this long-established Ikkyou temple?

You can have fun with as many women as you want after marriage!

This is not for fun.

There's no way that ill-mannered girl

can be the wife of a monk!

You're mistaken about her.

If you just talked to her, you could see her good side.

I will not be

going to talk to that girl ever again!

Then...

I will have you talk to her here.

I'm so sorry for the intrusion!

Someone!

Anyone!

[From Five to Nine]

[Episode 2]

An intruder!

Call the police!

- Let's run. - What?

- We're going. - What? Where?

That was scary.

- We should be all right now. - Okay.

Thank you.

Wait! You were the one who scared me!

What's that shocked look for?

Takane-sama!

Go on. Don't worry about me.

You act like you're so cool, but you're not!

- Hurry, get going! - Okay!

Who do you think you are?

- Takane-sama! Where's the intruder? - I think they went that way.

That way!

- You're marrying a monk? - I'm not.

I'll give you an old stroller!

I don't need one.

Oh, Junko!

Why are you dressed like that?

Just be quiet!

I had no idea!

I'm home...

Welcome home!

I could hear you from outside.

Good evening.

- Why are you here? - You don't have to ask it like that.

He brought back your things for you.

I'm sorry about your shoes.

And your clothes.

- I didn't think you would go that far... - Stop it, mom!

- Stop giving them ideas! - I also wanted to apologize for locking you up.

What did you tell them?

That I didn't want to let you go.

And that I would like to marry you.

You're still going on about that?

She may not be perfect, but please take good care of her.

I've gotten their permission.

Give me a break...

The bath got tepid.

- Good evening, Father. I'm here to ask for your— - No, you're not!

You just came to bring my things back, right?

What?

Takane-kun?

Oh! You're here to ask permission to marry my daughter.

I think I should change.

Dad... Dad!

Maybe I should change, too.

- I think you look beautiful just as you are. - Oh, hush!

- Wait a minute! - I'll go change.

- Me too! - Nene... Hold on!

Would you stop stirring the pot?

- What do you mean? - Do you even know what "stirring the pot" means?

You two are so cute!

Jeez...

Honey, this is the only one I have...

Let's have dinner!

Really?

- Excuse me, Father. - Father?

Is this a present for Junko Sensei?

It's just a little thing.

I guess you...

like Junko Sensei, right?

It's not like that.

We've just known each other for a long time.

Is this the part where he asks for our daughter's hand?

You're still talking about that?

- Dad, why are you wearing that? - What?

- Never mind that. Aren't these chicken nuggets tasty? - It's fried chicken.

Isn't he supposed to ask me for her hand?

- I had to fight for these nuggets! - I'm telling you, it's fried chicken!

- Everyone went for it as soon as they marked it down. - It's fried chicken, I said!

It's really fine.

What are you guys talking about?

- Takane-kun, please have some chicken nuggets! - It's fried chicken.

Takane-kun?

- I'm sorry. - No, we're sorry for being so rude!

This is really fun.

I've never had dinner at such a lively table.

The food...

is delicious.

- Takane-kun... - You can call me Mom.

- Brother... - He's not your brother!

- Takane-kun... - Call me Mom.

Brother...

- Takane-kun. - Or even Ma!

Brother...

All right, I'm coming!

I apologize for coming so late.

I am so impressed

by the fine daughter you've raised.

I guess I raised her well.

I really look up to her!

But there are many things

to learn at a temple.

Exactly. I don't think I can—

We will have you

train to be a wife at our place.

That's a good idea.

What a good idea!

That's great!

- How wonderful! - Wait a second!

So it's settled.

What?

Who are they?

Mom, I'm scared.

Please take Junko-san's things.

Yes, Ma'am!

H-Hold on! Why are you doing that?

Wait! Come on!

Get out of my way!

Wait!

- Kimoniya speaking. - Hi! It's Sakuraba.

I'm so sorry I missed your call yesterday.

Can you come to the office today?

Are you serious about working full-time?

Yes.

This is the application for the exam for the full-time position.

This is different than last year's application.

It's a special exam you can only take with a general manager's recommendation.

There's only one person who will pass nationwide.

- Just one? - The person who passes will immediately be transferred to the New York office.

What do you think?

If you'll let me, I'll take it!

Do your best.

I will!

I've come to pick you up.

Please leave.

Then let's go home together.

I'm not going to the temple.

I've got an important exam in a week, which may be my ticket to the New York office.

You can't do that.

What?

I won't allow you to go to New York.

You don't have a say in this!

It's a really hard exam that only one person will pass.

I won't pass it, anyway.

I think you will.

What?

Thank you.

So you must not take it.

- I won't allow it. - What?

It's just a way to check my level.

- Check your level? - Yes.

Oh! Please send my things back.

I'll pay for the delivery fees. Bye.

Just one week...

What?

I'll be fine if you trained for just one week.

Come on...

I want to study for my test this week.

How about your downtime in between?

I have class from five to nine, so I have to be at school by noon.

Then let's do your training from five to nine.

- I just said— - Temple in the morning, school in the evening.

5:00 A.M.?

Five to nine, right? Five to nine...

I'll have no time to sleep.

I want you...

to spent a week at the temple before deciding

whether you want to be my wife or not.

Even if I did, I'd just run off halfway through.

There's not a single person who can run away from our temple.

I was able to last time!

You won't this time. I'll come after you.

If that doesn't work...

I won't follow you around for the rest of my life.

- Really? - Yes.

You won't follow me if I stay for a week?

- Yes. - Really?

Okay.

All right.

It is what it is...

I'll do it.

[Bridal Training: Day One]

Junko-san...

Junko-san...

- Are you all right? - Ow!

- I'm so sorry! - It's okay, it's okay...

Thank you so much

for accepting Junko-san.

You've got it all wrong.

That girl

will give up before the week is over.

So, if she can make it through the week,

you'll allow me to marry her?

If she makes it through the week and takes it seriously.

Have a good day!

Oh, wow...

What's your name?

- It's Sankyu. - Sankyu-chan?

I have to go!

Good afternoon, Ms. Junko.

Hey guys!

America...

- Ready for today? - Yeah!

- Thank you. - Take care.

- Hi, Ms. Junko! - Ms. Momoe.

- Nothing to it? - But to do it!

America...

- Hello, Ms. Junko. - Hi, Mr. Arthur.

- Looking beautiful, as usual. - Thanks!

America!

Ms. Momoe?

Come with me.

America... I can almost taste it!

Ouch.

Excuse me.

Japanese...

- Thank you for your hard work at the temple from five to nine. - Yes, it was very hard.

Please, also work hard during your classes from five to nine.

You don't have to tell me.

Did you get hurt?

This is bad. We must treat it at once.

- It's not that bad— - Hi!

Wait, wait, wait! Don't go!

Stop them!

Hold on, what's the matter?

Class is starting. Come back.

- Come back! - All right. Sorry.

Please forgive me.

This will totally ruin your reputation as a cool, dependable teacher.

It's simple.

You just have to...

become my girlfriend.

This is where my sister teaches.

Sorry, Yuki.

Hold on...

It's the Prince of Shibuya!

What's your name?

Sakuraba Nene.

I knew it! You're Junko-chan's sister!

Junko-san...

You must not make a sound.

That's impossible! They're crunchy pickles!

All right.

It's so good!

Junko-san.

All right.

This is really fun. I've never had dinner at such a lively table.

[Bridal Training: Day One]

All right...

Question 2:

How to change direction when things haven't gone as planned.

Answer.

Junko-san, I've brought you a snack.

I'm coming in.

Junko-san.

You'll catch a cold if you don't sleep on your futon.

Junko-san.

Junko-san...

Crab...

He still has the desire for worldly things, doesn't he?

Yes.

[Bridal Training: Day Two]

Good morning!

Good morning.

Here we go...

Junko-dono, thank you for your hard work on your first day.

I was happy to have been able to share the same space as you.

Takane.

What a weird flower.

You seem more fired up today!

I don't like not being able to do something.

- Hang in there. - Hang in there.

You can use this idiom to encourage your friend who is going through tough times.

Or as a reminder for yourself.

- Hang in there! - Hang in there.

Hang in there!

- Hang in there! - Good job.

[Bridal Training: Day Two]

Yes?

What?

This is from Takane-dono.

Thank you.

Thank you for your hard work on your second day.

Everyone here seems more cheerful than usual.

[Bridal Training: Day Three] You didn't bring out your laundry!

I'm sorry!

Why are you smiling like that?

Junko-chan, Junko-chan!

I heard you are taking the promotion exam.

Who told you that?

You'll definitely pass!

I like your English the best, Junko-chan.

- Come on... - I wanted to tell her that!

All right. Thanks, you two.

Both of you, head straight home, okay?

Of course!

[Bridal Training: Day Three]

Thank you for your hard work on your third day.

I hope these days will go on forever.

Delicious!

Is someone out there?

Hey!

[Bridal Training: Day Four] You mustn't put carrots in there!

- You mustn't have any likes or dislikes! - Okay...

Good boy.

I can eat carrots.

Of course you can.

- Good work today. - Good work today.

- I'm heading out for the day. - Okay.

Oh, thank you!

- Welcome home. - I'm back!

- We'll be right there! - You must be exhausted from work.

I'm back.

I'm tired...

Thank you for your hard work on your fourth day.

[Bridal Training: Day Five]

I did it!

You're so good at this, Junko-san!

- You're exaggerating. - You'll only be good today!

Starting today.

Starting today, I'll be okay, today-okay!

You don't have to take me.

I was hoping you could rest a little.

Really? Thanks.

What's that flower called?

Christ Plant.

It represents enduring through any adversity.

Wow...

It signifies other things, too.

Like, "Don't be cold to me..."

What else?

"Hurry up and kiss me."

What?

It's just what the flower represents. I'm not asking you.

What are you getting all embarrassed for?

I'll be honest with you.

While you were sleeping...

I...

tried to kiss you.

What are you doing?

I stood under the waterfall as an apology.

Is that really an apology?

- I'm sorry. - You shouldn't have told me.

I want to be honest with you.

Honesty isn't always the best policy.

What?

No, don't kiss me!

Don't flutter yourself.

Your door was ajar.

Just three more days...

[MJ&Company]

[Transfer Order]

I'm transferring to New York?

This is far enough.

- What time shall I pick you up? - No, it's fine!

- Come back to the temple after. - Yes, okay.

I overheard something juicy!

Hello, Mishima-san? There was something I wanted to tell you...

Welcome home.

Kaori-san...

Kaori-san should be a good role model for Junko-san.

You didn't tell me. I could be a role model for her.

You're sure to realize your foolishness when you compare the two.

That's not what you promised.

You said you'd accept Junko-san if she got through the week.

I never said I would take Kaori-san out of the running.

The bath is ready for you! It's still hot.

- It's still hot? - Yeah.

Oh, I've seen this one before.

Can I go in first?

I'm so pumped for tomorrow's party!

One-two, one-two, one-two!

Thank you.

Thanks.

Junko-san?

It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I'll be starting my bridal training tomorrow.

I'm Ashikaga Kaori.

Thank you for your hard work on your fifth day.

[Bridal Training: Day Six]

I'll take care of that.

She does everything perfectly!

Excuse me. How do I get to the exit?

You're gonna want to head back that way.

- That way? - Okay, just follow me.

Oh! That's very kind. Thank you!

Everyone speaks English these days.

Recently... everyone speaks... English!

It all depends on the situation, so just keep in mind, there's more than one way to respond to this.

All right. That's it for today.

You're done.

There's something I want to talk about when we get home.

I'm going to stay here to study, so I'll be back late.

Then I'll say it now.

- I would like to give you a pointer with your cooking— - No, thanks.

I'm just trying to help.

In that respect, you're just like your grandmother.

In what respect?

The part of you that needs everything to go your way.

- Oh? You didn't have a lesson today— - Sakuraba.

-You're supposed to say "sensei"— - I need to talk to you.

What?

W-Wait a second!

Hey... Are you alone?

I'm looking for Yuki-chan and Hachiya-kun.

They're at a different party right now.

I can take you there.

Just come. Hideyuki, let's go!

What are you doing?

What's going on?

Is it true you're living at the temple?

- Who told you that? - What do you want?

I thought you wanted to go to New York!

What is it? I have to study...

What's wrong?

Mishima?

Let's go!

Nene-chan's in trouble! Some guy with blond hair took her!

Hello?

- Sister... - Nene?

Help me!

What?

Nene, where are you now?

Some karaoke place...

Where did you walk past? Did you see anything?

There was a huge polar bear at the entrance...

Polar bear?

Junko-chan, she's talking about the polar bear on Koen Road.

Got it!

Don't look so scared.

- You're so cute... - Don't touch me!

- Nene! - Sister!

- Sister? - No, Sister!

Wait! What are you...

Nene!

This is even better...

- Right? - Get off me!

Let's go.

Hey!

Hoshikawa-san! Stop!

Stop it! Are you okay?

You're a pain!

Wh-What are you doing?

- Take that! - No!

Stop! Stop it!

Stop!

- Ow! - You jerk...

- Why I... - Stop!

Hachiya?

Aren't you banned from Shibuya?

Nene-chan!

Are you all right?

Hoshikawa-san...

Sister!

Nene! Why?

Do you know what kind of trouble you could've been in?

I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry...

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

You were scolding Nene-san,

but you were in trouble too.

I know. I'm sorry.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Isn't your exam tomorrow?

Good night.

Thank you

for everything this week.

Good night.

Good night.

[Bridal Training: Final Day]

Excuse me. The Madam would like to see you.

Okay.

Please have a seat.

I'm sorry, Junko-san...

but I have decided

you are not suited to marry into this temple.

Please excuse yourself.

I don't think I can do it, either.

Thank you for everything this week.

Takane!

We will send your things to your house later.

I've already packed everything, so please send it at your convenience.

Excuse me.

Ms. Sakuraba, how long has it been since you started working for us here at ELA?

It's been two and a half years.

And how has it been so far?

Every day has been fulfilling.

Could you give us an example of what kind of teaching methods you are incorporating in your class?

For one of my newer students, who's a monk...

- I've implemented— - Wait, wait... Did you say monk?

Could you tell us just a little bit more about that?

Well, uh... He's a monk!

Hello, this is Kiyomiya.

What?

Thank you for your time! I'm so happy we had this opportunity to speak.

- Likewise. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Bye!

Mr. Watson.

How did your exam go?

I've had my nose to the grindstone all day!

I'm sure you'll get the result by the end of the day.

Do you think you have a chance?

I don't know, but...

I tried my best.

- Good. - Sakuraba...

- Do you have a minute? - Yes.

- Sakuraba... - Yes?

You didn't pass.

I'm sorry.

No...

I learned a lot.

Thank you very much.

There will be other chances.

Don't give up.

Yes. Excuse me.

Hoshikawa-san...

Didn't you say you wouldn't follow me around if I endured a week at your temple?

I'm not following you around.

I just came to give you a present.

My birthday was last week.

You already gave me a bouquet of roses.

You just lied.

Lied? No, I didn't.

You lied to yourself.

I can tell just by looking into your eyes.

You don't have to force yourself to be happy in front of me.

Your shoes broke on that rainy day, didn't they?

This is your reward.

You did well.

With the exam and the bridal training.

I failed at everything...

I think that's fine.

Why do you always show up at my most uncool moments?

I think you're cool.

Why are you being so kind to me?

Because I like you.

That's the first time you said you liked me.

I will stay by your side tonight until you feel better.

You're talking down to me again.

♫ Bells are ringing somewhere ♫

Why is she going after a monk?

If it were me, I would choose you.

♫ The cold air feels pleasant, oh... ♫

♫ Wait, why am I in love? ♫

- I brought a nose! - Nose?

Nose, this nose!

You can eat this too!

Thank you.

Food tastes even better when you make noise eating it!

It's great!

Why did it have to be here?

It was all I could think of.

Of course.

Here!

♫ Is trying to tell me how I feel about you ♫

♫ It's not necessary. I know that myself ♫

You're making noises!

♫ it's no use to ask Santa, is it? ♫

♫ If possible, I want you to be by my side ♫

♫ And not go anywhere ♫

You've used this a lot.

♫ But if I tell you that, I'll look like a fool ♫

I tried my best, but...

my dream didn't come true.

I guess there's always someone better.

You're the best.

All right, all right...

You're the best.

I get it, thanks.

I'm talking about the exam.

I am, too.

- What? - You had the highest evaluation.

I heard you had fun talking about me.

What? How do you know that?

There's a parishioner that is an executive at ELA.

What?

I think it was a good test of your abilities.

You proved your skills.

You did well.

What do you mean?

I asked for this.

Asked for what?

That they fail you.

- What? - I told you, didn't I?

I will never leave your side.

[Next time] I'll never forgive you for this. Don't ever come near me again.

- Does Takane-kun like pumpkin? - I'm never marrying him, no matter what.

[A battle of love over a single, 29-year-old woman!] - Cheers! - That's the smile, Sakuraba.

Sakuraba, I need you for a second.

There's so many crabs!

Thank you for everything.

Madam!

You're on at seven. Good luck!

We'll all jump out at once!
