[Previously] - We will have you train to be a wife at our place. - What?

I have an important exam that may be my ticket to New York.

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

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

- Why is she going after a monk? - If it were me, I would choose you.

- Kaori-san. - I'm Ashikaga Kaori.

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

That's not what you promised.

I'm sorry, but I've decided you are not suited to marry into this temple.

How did your exam go?

- You didn't pass. - I learned a lot.

You did well. With your exam and the bridal training.

Why are you being so kind to me?

Because I like you.

I tried my best, but my dream didn't come true.

- You're the best. - What?

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

I asked for this.

Asked for what?

That they fail you.

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

I will never leave your side.

You're lying... right?

I mean...

you can't do that—

Our temple

has very deep connections with the executives at your school.

- But... - You don't need to go abroad.

Please stay by my side.

I've decided

to make you happy.

What about my feelings?

You just think of me as some puppet.

You're the worst.

You've meddled in my life,

ruined my dreams...

You...

You're the worst!

Let me go!

Junko-san!

No matter what happens...

I will never like you.

I will never forgive you for this.

Thank you for your hard work.

I was happy being by your side.

I have an important exam that may be my ticket to New York.

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

Let's go. You were in danger, too.

- Are you all right? - I'm fine.

I tried my best but my dream didn't come true.

This is your reward.

You did well. With the exam and the bridal training.

You're the worst!

I will never forgive you for this.

[Episode 3]

- Pardon me. A draft beer? - That's mine.

Excuse me.

- Yum. Could I have another? - Go ahead.

I can just grab it.

It's so good!

What's the matter?

Do you want some chicken?

I'll have one!

- Here. - Eat up!

Should we call the others?

- I'll call Mishima! - I'll call Masako-san!

- Should we invite that monk, too? - You don't have to.

Oh, I mean... It's late.

That's right, he must be asleep. Monks have to wake up early.

- Sakuraba... - Yes?

We're holding a Halloween party here next week.

- I want you to be in charge of it this year. - Me?

We're inviting people from the main office as well as students. Pull out all the stops.

There won't be any time to feel sorry for yourself.

Right.

I think this calls for a toast.

What do you think?

Okay.

We will have the best Halloween party ever! Bottom's up!

- I'll drink to that! - Cheers!

All right!

Morning.

I'm so sorry about last night...

It was so much fun. But we drank a little too much.

B-Bathroom...

It's over here.

Okay...

Ouch!

Good morning, Mishima-san.

Or should I call you Satoshi-kun?

I'm going to have shower.

Okay...

[Missed Call: Junko Sakuraba]

Oh no...

[Man x Man...?]

Are you awake, my kitten?

- Oh! My alarm! - If you don't...

quickly...

- I think that's enough... - No.

I don't think I hate it, actually.

- Could I borrow one? - I'll lend you one! My suggestion would be "Dominant Young Bride."

And in this one, the older guy's submissive. It's short, but I love it so much I cry!

And my recent favorite is...

- about a submissive, obedient older guy— - H-Hold on a second!

I don't really get the top and bottom thing...

Sorry. I just get so excited when it comes to Boys Love.

I see...

I bet you're disgusted by some 30 year old who's never had a boyfriend and likes Boys Love comics...

See? You are disgusted.

No, not at all.

I might like this side of you better.

Are you awake, my kitten?

- Oh, I snoozed it— - Good morning.

If you don't get up quickly, I'll punish you.

- So... - What?

Did something happen yesterday?

You weren't really acting yourself.

You can tell me if you want to.

I told you my secret!

Yeah.

I'll give this to you.

Yay! Thank you.

What's wrong with Takane-sama?

I don't know.

That is truly unforgivable. I'm going to tell the main office.

It's over with.

I don't know what I'll do to that monk if I see him.

Ah!

- Listen here— - Momoe Sensei...

- Hi! - Good evening! - Hi!

- Hi! - Hi.

- Hi. - Hello.

Junko Sensei, you're wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

You're quick to notice things. I stayed at Momoe Sensei's place.

Really?

You didn't go home?

- It's none of your business. - Momoe Sensei...

- Just who do you think you are? - Momoe Sensei!

- Hey, Ms. Junko. - Hey, Mr. Arthur!

You ready?

Junko-san...

- Junko-chan! - Oh, Yuki-chan!

Is this your Halloween costume? It's so cute!

But isn't it a little early?

She wanted you to be the first to see it.

Thanks!

What are you going to be for Halloween, Masako-chan?

What do you think I should be?

A zombie!

Rude!

- Let's go to class! - Okay!

- It's class time. - Is it all right?

This is my job.

I heard the origin of Halloween dates back to the ancient Celts.

At first, it was a

religious ceremony to keep away evil spirits.

That's correct.

All right, how about—

By the way...

The flowers I brought today...

They're known as apology flowers.

Just stop.

That's completely off-topic.

You need to leave if you're going to continue.

Anybody else know something about Halloween?

- Mr. Hachiya? - Mr. Hachiya?!

Oh, Mr. Hachiya...

It was a harvest festival.

Great answer! That's right!

Now, anyone know how they celebrated?

Yuki-chan?

- Costume...? - Yeah!

Costume... wear...

All right, class is over.

Thank you.

- Thank you, Sensei! - Good job.

Ms. Momoe?

The next class will be here soon.

Ah!

You forgot this!

Actually, if you would...

- Give— - Really?

Thank you!

Masako-chan, look!

Masako-chan, about last night...

It's become a special day for us now.

- I don't... - Wait! Where are we going?

Mishima! I didn't know you two were so close.

Sakuraba...

Yes, we are close!

I see.

It's not like that.

You don't have to hide it.

I don't want you to misunderstand.

- Why did you call me yesterday? - No reason.

You're sure making things complicated.

All right!

I'm home.

- Welcome home! - Yeah, I'm back...

The temple sent back your things.

How about dinner?

Yeah, I'm hungry.

What?

Thank you.

- Where did you stay last night? - Where?!

Spare us the details.

- At a friend's place. - How boring...

What's with the pumpkins?

I'm getting ready for Halloween.

Are you going to make us eat nothing but pumpkin again?

Don't you think Halloween at our place is weird?

Can you ask Takane-kun if he likes pumpkins? I'll invite him this year!

Maybe he'll have to squash evil spirits that day... Squash!

I don't care what happens. I'm never marrying him.

- But— - I'm not.

- But— - I'm not.

Takane,

eat a little.

Thanks for dinner.

Maybe

we should have waited to talk about Takane-kun.

This is your reward.

You did well.

With the exam and the bridal training.

Well, the shoes didn't do anything wrong.

- Listen... - I'm not!

Madam...

Yes?

Do you

think we did the right thing?

With what?

If you want to say something, say it clearly.

It's...

It's just...

Takane,

I'm sorry.

- He made a sound! - He did!

He really did!

I sent...

Junko-san's things

to her.

I see.

What's that flower called?

Christ Plant.

It represents enduring any adversity.

Yeah?

We're giving these out. You can have one, if you'd like.

Hello.

Hello.

Where is Junko-san?

She's in a meeting.

With Kiyomiya-san. Just the two of them.

You didn't want to know?

Sorry.

Your collar...

That pairing would be "dominant young bride" category.

And that one would be...

Careful!

The submissive, obedient older man!

You're drooling.

I'm kidding.

This is the second

time we're meeting like this.

Yes.

Are you hungry?

Yeah.

Thank you for waiting. Here's your sausage platter.

- Thanks. - Excuse me.

Would you like me to tell you

how to make up with her?

You're having troubles with

Ms. Junko, right?

It's three simple steps.

You kiss,

you hug...

and you say,

"You're so cute."

I've failed at kissing before.

- What about a hug? - Please don't ask.

Have you told her she's cute?

Not yet.

That's it.

I see.

Women are like autumn skies.

Beautiful,

but unpredictable.

Very true.

It's finished!

It's all done! Look!

- It's so cute. - It's beautiful, that pumpkin...

Mr. Hoshikawa...

I just came up with a great idea.

- Go ahead and proceed as planned. - Okay.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

Junko-san...

- Perfect timing, Ms. Junko! - What?

Take a look at this.

Mr. Hoshikawa made an apology bento and came here to give it to you.

Good luck.

Are you scheming again?

Please stop... I can't believe you're involving Arthur Sensei now.

No matter what you say or give me,

my feelings won't change.

Hey, check this out! Look at what we got!

- What is it? - Ta-da!

So fancy!

It's all King Crab.

Crab, crab, crab!

It's all crab!

- Sakuraba? - Yes?

- Want to get lunch? - Sure.

Crab, crab, crab!

I'll trade you.

Thank you!

It's so good!

You're exaggerating.

It's really good.

Special gift.

What?

It's just funny you suddenly pulled out something so cute.

That's that smile, Sakuraba.

Thank you.

I should be thanking you.

The fact that you're a teacher and aspire to work abroad...

made me realize my English actually helped someone.

Watching you makes me glad I became a teacher.

I'll eat this now.

It's so good!

- It is? - Yes!

It's done.

Here you go.

- Isn't this hard? - It really is!

Good evening, everyone.

- I brought snacks! - Thank you!

Thanks!

Junko-chan! What are you going to wear? Look at mine! I made this.

- It's so cute! - What should I do with this pumpkin?

She's coming. Leave it to us!

Gather around.

I'll get her attention first...

- Isn't it better if I go first? - I got it!

We'll all go at once! Ready, set, go!

Junko!

- You were supposed to jump out! - You idiot!

No more pumpkins...

I wonder...

[Shinhira Falls]

Kiyomiya-san, do you have a moment?

[ELA: School Closed]

Thanks.

Thanks for helping!

No problem.

Could I ask you to do this?

Sure, thank you.

What's this? It's so cute!

Wow, amazing!

There are so many crabs!

What?

- Yes? - Sakuraba.

Have you talked to Hoshikawa-san yet?

No, why?

Come with me.

Kiyomiya-san?

- What's going on? - Talk to him.

Don't involve Kiyomiya-san in this, too.

- I'm not— - You're...

You're scaring me.

Please...

Don't...

ever come near me again.

Please.

I understand.

Thank you very much.

Sure.

Mr. Hoshikawa.

Did you talk to him?

There's nothing to say.

I'm sorry to get you involved.

I'm sorry.

Hold on, Sakuraba.

He was taking the fault for someone else.

He wasn't the one who made you fail.

What?

His grandmother has connections with the executives.

Perhaps we should have turned down that offer.

I simply put my support behind a young man that had been introduced to me.

And if she failed because of what I said...

it meant she wasn't good enough anyway.

But Takane is suffering so much

because of what you said.

He said he went to the main office many times.

He asked them to redo the exam.

Please, Sir. I'm begging you.

You again? Just go home already.

I can't. Please.

Do the examination just one more time. Just once more, please.

It's a done deal.

Please.

He also came to see me.

That's not all.

That...

He made all those decorations

for the Halloween party.

I suggested he might be able to make up with you...

if he brightened up the party.

He made

all of those decorations.

I'm home.

Welcome home!

Look!

- Daifuku is set for Halloween too! - He really is.

Don't you have a party tomorrow? What are you wearing?

I'm too old for that.

We have simmered pumpkin, pumpkin rice, pumpkin miso soup, pickled pumpkin, and pumpkin ice cream!

This is overkill!

I want to be honest with you.

Takane...

Are you serious?

No matter what you say or give, my feelings won't change.

I will never like you.

I will never forgive you for this.

Oh, Hiromi-san! Thank you.

Why are you wearing my costume?

Goro said it looked better on me...

Thanks, guys!

Don't worry. You're on at seven. Good luck!

Oh! Junko-chan!

- What do you think of our costumes? - They look so good!

You look like the best couple here!

- We're not a couple— - Sakuraba.

Oh! Thanks for coming, Mishima.

I have to talk to you about something important later.

Okay.

Junko-san!

Sankyu-chan?

- Junko-san, help us! - What happened?

- Takane-sama... - Takane-sama...

- Takane-sama... - What?

So you insist on going?

Yes.

I will seclude myself in the mountains and devote my heart and soul to Buddha.

Takane...

do you understand what it means to seclude yourself in the mountains?

We will never be able to see you again.

Not just us...

You'll never be able to see Sakuraba again.

Is that what you want?

Thank you...

for taking care of me all this time.

Madam!

Madam!

Why?

I'm sorry.

This is the first time you said you liked me.

Please don't ever come near me again. Please.

Hoshikawa-san...

Hoshikawa-san, you...

Junko-san...

I thought I would never be able to see you again.

You're being so dramatic.

I really won't be able to see you again after this...

You didn't do it, right?

But I'm equally guilty.

I wanted to support your dream.

I wanted to see you happy.

Yet... A part of me was elated when you failed the exam.

You wouldn't be going to New York, and we could be together.

I am just as guilty for feeling that way, even if just for a second.

I'm very sorry.

That's enough.

That doesn't matter anymore.

I won't let you disappear just because you want to.

You're so cute.

When you're angry...

when you're crying...

when you're eating...

when you're cleaning...

when you're teaching...

when you're with your family...

you're always cute.

What's all this about?

I've always wanted to tell you that.

♫ How often I find myself missing you ♫

♫ This heart that aches when I can't see you ♫

Junko-san...

I will marry you.

I'm the only one for you.

♫ it's no use to ask Santa, is it? ♫

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

♫ And not go anywhere ♫

♫ I want to be ♫

What are you doing? I'm not kissing you.

- What? - What?

- I thought it felt right. - No way.

No way?

We're going!

♫ Your answer to my confession of love ♫

♫ May be different from what I expect ♫

Junko-san, where are we going?

♫ Wishing upon a star... It's so out of my character ♫

♫ But after all, it can't be anyone else but you. So I look up ♫

Number seven!

- Number seven... - Here!

Who should I interview next?

Whoa!

A crab and a reindeer have appeared!

Come over here, you two!

Junko Sensei, this way. What's that?

Isn't it a little early for a reindeer?

Well, it's fine!

Are you okay with it?

Letting him take Ms. Junko away.

It's not like that.

I see.

If it were me...

I would do everything to make sure she's not taken away.

- Momoe Sensei! - Didn't I tell you they'd like it?

Congratulations. They're all laughing at us.

Yes, but making people laugh is important.

I'll have to ask for everyone's address.

Why?

I will be sending them an invitation to our wedding reception.

You're jumping way too far ahead!

Yes, we need to have the ceremony first.

No, there's a process to this.

- First, we have to start as friends. - Friends?

You can meet me half way and be my friend.

Junko-chan...

I'm going to confess something to you.

Sakuraba, I need you for a second.

What's wrong?

Mishima?

[Next time] - Spend the night. - I will not!

Are you scheming up something again? [Passing right over kissing to a forced sleepover]

- Then why don't we all sleep together? - What?

I can't get the sight of you kissing another man out of my head... This will propel us towards marriage.

That's weird!

You mustn't!

Nice! High five!

We've been surrounded by handsome guys recently!

- Did something happen? - What am I to you, Mishima-san?

Takane!

You'll regret it if you don't tell her how you feel.

Good evening!

- Junko-san... - All right. [This drama is fiction]
