Original subtitles

[Previously] I asked them to fail you.

You're the worst! I'll never forgive you for this.

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

There will be other chances. Don't give up.

That's that smile, Sakuraba.

Watching you makes me glad I became a teacher.

Transfer to New York?

I've noticed a monk has been following you around.

What is it you want?

If it were me, I would choose you.

I will devote my heart and soul to Buddha.

Why?

You'll never be able to see Sakuraba again.

Talk to him.

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

I will never follow you around again.

Hoshikawa-san wasn't the one who made you fail. His grandmother has

connections with the executives.

You didn't do it, right?

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

Junko-san...

I will marry you.

You can meet me halfway and be my friend.

I'm going to confess something to you.

Sakuraba, I need you for a second.

I've wanted a washing machine for so long!

I can't believe you won it at bingo!

Thank you for helping me bring it home. It's fine, you can leave.

- Nothing is fine! Why did you do that? - How long are you going to talk about that?

What should I use the money I was saving for a washing machine for?

You sure saved a lot!

Should we have a party—

- Aren't you embarrassed? - It was sort of like an accident.

- Should we go on a trip? - I want to go!

I'll take time off work—

- Don't you have any shame? - Look, he was drunk...

- Where should we go? - Okinawa?

- Maybe hot spring? - Please don't say anymore. It's giving me a headache.

- Takane-kun, you're being very cold towards me! - What?

Takane-kun, would you like to come with us to a hot spring?

- We can do ping-pong and bowling! - I'll go.

- No you won't! - It can also be our prenuptial vacation.

Friends don't go on trips, right?

We weren't friends for very long before we got married!

- That's right. - What changed?

- We spent the night. - That's despicable.

- I missed the last train so her parents let me stay over. - Her parents'... Then, it was healthy...

- That's how we had you... - Gross!

- Had what? - Don't ask! Stop!

- Anyway, that night led to us getting married. - Right.

Spending the night, then getting married...

Spending the night, then getting married...

- A guesthouse? - Yes.

I would like to make Ikkyou Temple a guesthouse.

What is a guesthouse?

It's a place where people can stay over and experience life at a temple.

I'm against it.

We have an important service next week for a former Prime Minister.

It's a very great opportunity to introduce you as the next chief priest.

I will take full responsibility for the service as well.

Of course you will.

Why do we need to do a guesthouse right now?

I want to do this for the future of the temple.

- So people will be spending the night? - Yes.

I will never spend the night there!

I would like you to stay at least once and tell me what you think.

Why me?

- Because you're my friend. - Ask to another friend.

I can't. All my other friends are monks.

I will definitely have you spend the night.

Anyway, I'm not going.

Hey, Mishima! Over here.

- Junko Sensei! - Yes?

You have an urgent message from the main office.

Message?

[To Sakuraba Junko at ELA Omotesando School]

[Joint project with Ikkyou Temple. Do the preliminary research for Temple Life Experience tour.]

- Congratulations. - I'm not going!

How did things end up like this?

Please be careful of the steps.

I don't know what you did, Hoshikawa-san

but are you sure your grandmother isn't here?

You have nothing to worry about. She won't be home tonight.

Anyway, I thought you were coming here alone.

Sorry for bothering you, Momoe Sensei!

- No, I should be thanking you! - Thanking me?

Temples are flower gardens full of men.

Beautiful monks...

Beautiful monks...!

Beautiful monks!

This one's too beautiful! What a cute monk!

Oh, not this one...

Aren't you a little too close?

- I'm sorry. - Let's go.

Sorry.

- Come with me. - What?

Stay low.

Madam, you're back early! Weren't you supposed to return tomorrow?

They had some urgent business.

I will take you to your rooms, but you must stay low like this.

- Okay... - Is this part of the training?

I don't think so.

Why do I have to stay here again?

- What about Momoe Sensei? - I showed her to another guest room.

Are you scheming up something again?

I can't get the sight of you kissing another man out of my head.

- That again? - So...

We should be like your parents and have this propel us towards marriage.

Don't take that story so seriously.

I don't believe it!

Hi!

- What? - I invited him.

[From Five to Nine]

[Episode 4]

Please make sure the upcoming service goes smoothly.

Our reputation is riding on it.

Yes, Ma'am!

Leave this side of things to me.

Thank you.

- Chief priest? - Oh! Yes?

Where is Takane?

That's funny... He was here a while ago. How strange!

- We must talk to Takane about the service and go over the details! - Yes.

- How could you kiss Junko Sensei? - Lower your voice a little...

What am I to you?

Were you just after my body?

Let's talk somewhere else, okay?

I'll call you later.

You sure are making a soap opera out of your life.

What?

Nothing.

- Are you alone today? - Yeah.

She's...

being a recluse right now.

To Kiyomiya Sensei.

I hope I can spend

Christmas with you in New York next year!

Sakuraba Junko.

[Dec. 2012]

[Merry Christmas] [Dear Junko, Thanks for the card! Just hold tight, I'll make sure to pick you up next year.]

[Makoto Kiyomiya, December 2012]

Mr. Hoshikawa.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

- Allowing me to share a room with Ms. Momoe. - What?

I would like to share a room with Junko Sensei.

Shouldn't men and women be separated?

Shall we all just share one room?

- Japanese family-style sleeping? - Then I will sleep here, too.

- That's weird! - Aren't we friends?

Don't use the term "friends" so conveniently!

Okay! I'm done.

What's next?

Please wait here for a moment.

Takane!

Where were you?

Welcome home. I was assisting our guests.

We have guests already?

I should welcome them too!

Please wait a minute!

I will call them.

- Takane— - Please wait right there.

Where did everyone go?

- You must not leave this room! - Why?

You mustn't!

Oh, no!

Welcome to Ikkyou Temple.

These are our guests for today.

- Where's Junko Sensei... - Ahhh!

What a beautiful temple!

We like it very much. Right?

And that is a beautiful kimono.

Isn't that a vintage Tsujigahana Obi? (T/N: Kimono's belt)

You're very knowledgeable!

I'm very interested in Japanese culture.

- In the case... - Where are you going?

To the annex. There's something I would like to show them.

The annex...

Ms. Hibari, now I know why there's a star missing in the night sky.

It's because the shining star is right here.

Come now! You mustn't tease the elderly!

I'm not teasing!

You're a thief of hearts, Ms. Hibari.

I've been meaning to tell you, but...

- Actually, I— - I have something I want to tell you, too.

I can't go out with you.

I'm sorry.

Your annual salary is about 10 million yen, right?

I will marry a man who makes more than 30 million yen.

Unfortunately, you did not make the cut for the running.

- Nothing happened between us that day, anyway. - What?

Good morning, Mishima-san.

How could you have done anything when you were that drunk?

Really?

Was that a sigh of relief just now?

No, I...

I'm sorry. Please excuse me for a moment.

What happened?

Fake crying?

I guess not.

What's a high school student doing here?

I own this place.

You should take it easy and enjoy life more.

Just like me.

That's true.

But I don't have time for little kids.

I see.

It's been a while since I've been back to Japan.

- So I'm enjoying it while I can. - Really?

By the way,

about my trip back to New York...

Crab?

I thought temple meals were supposed to be bland, but this is amazing!

- The menu is different... - What?

Nothing...

Mr. Hoshikawa has outdone himself.

The chief priest told me that Mr. Hoshikawa

made all of this himself.

What?

He bought all the ingredients and cooked them all himself.

Even though he has an important service coming up...

he's been preparing

the guesthouse tirelessly.

What's he getting all excited about?

He said he's never had friends over,

so he wanted to make sure we felt welcome.

Is everything all right? Let me know if there's anything you need.

Hoshikawa-san...

Please take a break. You haven't slept, have you?

I'm fine. I can go a few days without sleep

to make sure...

my dear friends are taken care of.

I can't have you getting sick because of me.

And anyway...

Were you sleeping just now?

I was meditating.

See? You're coughing, too!

I'm fine.

I told you!

Mr. Hoshikawa.

As Ms. Junko said, you should take a break.

Let's drink together!

Japanese sake!

This is a temple.

Then shall we play a game?

You have games?

Japanese cards.

- Which means... - Monk-card game.

Lost again!

You're sleeping again.

As I said, I was meditating.

You guys too? Let's go to bed.

Did Junko come home?

- She didn't! - She did not!

- She is spending the night somewhere? - She is! - Yes, she is!

- Is she gonna get married? - She is! - Yes, she is!

- And how long are we gonna keep doing this pattern? - How long?

- How long? - I said, how long are we...

All four of us are sleeping here, after all... They're all asleep!

Good night.

Oh god, I'm so nervous I'm shaking...

Calm down!

If I scream now, he'll find out I've never been with a man

and know another weakness of mine.

Be calm, like a mature woman,

and just ignore it...

How can she stay so calm?

I'm making all these passes...

Maybe she's just used to guys like me.

Or... maybe she's dense.

God... I just can't read her.

How can everyone sleep in a situation like this?

It's so quiet... Have they left? No, they're still here.

They're asleep, right?

No, how could he be asleep?

But it's so quiet.

I want to check! But I'm too scared to look...

I want to check. What should I do?

I'm starting to feel sick...

Just a peek...

Quietly...

He's sleeping?

I couldn't sleep at all...

- Good morning. - Morning.

- Did you sleep well? - Of course not.

I see.

What are the flowers for?

I give flowers to my parents every morning.

Your parents...?

They passed away when I was about his age.

I will bring your breakfast in a little while.

Okay.

I've been meaning to ask you...

Yes?

Why me?

Because it has to be you.

Why is that?

I don't know.

- What? - I have no idea, either.

That's what torments me.

Yet...

It makes me happy.

I've never felt like this before.

Whenever we're apart, I want to see you.

I want to be by your side all the time.

What?

Junko-san...

Why didn't you tell me you were here?

I-I didn't know you were home...

I forced her to come here. It's my responsibility.

Oh my goodness!

What were you two doing here?

I'm sorry for not coming to greet you earlier!

I'm going to leave right away.

- Wait! - Don't go after her.

You have an important service to prepare for!

You must take care of it as the next chief priest of this temple.

How incredible!

Such undivided attention!

- Hello? - Oh, hi!

It's so loud. Where are you?

- We're bowling. - Bowling?

This early in the morning?

Yes. Early-morning bowling. We are at the hot spring, and we thought to do it.

Yay!

- High five! - Hot spring?

We used the money from mom's washing machine savings.

Anyway, did you know Yuki-chan's become a recluse?

Yuki-chan?

Yeah. I can't get in touch with her, and she's not answering her phone.

What?

Aren't you close to her? Maybe she'll talk to you.

I'll text you the details later.

- Bye! - Wait, Nene!

Was that all right...?

- Hachiya-kun? - Yeah.

Thanks, Nene-chan.

Who is he?

Please excuse me.

Who is that handsome boy?

- The Prince of Shibuya. - Prince of Shibuya?

We've been surrounded by handsome men lately!

Yeah! I did it! A strike!

Oh, prince! Prince of Shibuya!

Is that what you wanted, Yuki?

[Calling: Yuki-chan]

Please leave your message after the tone...

Mr. Hoshikawa, I think it's best if we leave, too.

I'm very sorry. After you came all this way...

I wanted to have a little more fun, but...

No, that was more than enough.

I did something terrible to Junko-san.

My kitten... My kitten...

It's from Junko Sensei.

- Yuki-chan... - Yuki-san?

[Notice of Withdrawal | Satonaka Yuki]

It seems Yuki-chan is quitting ELA.

[ELA Student Information]

Did Junko-san go to see Yuki-san alone?

From her text, it seems that way.

She's been acting strange ever since the Halloween party.

Do you know something about Yuki-chan, Hoshikawa-san?

- Junko-chan? - Yuki-chan! Are you all right?

- You came to see me? - Yeah.

I'm glad you're all right. Everyone's worried.

Thank you. Come inside.

Whoa. What a huge place...

[Name: Satonaka Yuki | Sex:]

- Junko-chan. - Yeah?

[Name: Satonaka Yuki]

I'm a boy.

I like you, Junko-chan.

I love you.

I don't want anyone else to have you.

Junko-san?

Junko-san!

- Yes? - Junko-san...

What?

I knew you were a boy from the first time I met you.

I will not forgive you if you've done anything to hurt Junko-san.

He didn't do anything.

I understand how you feel...

I know how hard it is to see someone steal a kiss from the person you love.

But you mature by accepting those uncomfortable feelings.

- Look at me. - What are you saying?

- I'm cheering him up. - That's enough. We're fine.

Junko-chan...

Do you hate me now?

No! I like you a lot.

You're my precious student.

You can never know what a tormented person will do, man or woman, or kid.

- You're being dramatic. - No, I'm not.

Look at what Mishima-san did.

- He's just a friend. - Don't use the term "friends" so conveniently.

You're not cautious enough.

That's why I can't let you out of my sight. I need you by my side at all times.

Not cautious?

See? You're not even cautious now.

And now I have you pinned.

Pinned?

We're home!

Oh man, I'm tired!

How can you go to a hot spring and be tired?

- Oh, Sis! - And Takane-kun!

- Good evening. - This is for you!

This is for you, too. A rake.

And a wooden sword.

- Did you go to Hokkaido? - Look closely! [Atami]

- Your choice of souvenirs... - Anyway, listen to this!

- The hot spring was called "Takane's Hot Spring"! - That's all she talked about!

Takane-kun, it's so hot! Takane-kun, I'm flushed!

Who cares?

What's wrong, Takane-kun?

- You don't look very well. - He doesn't.

I'm perfectly fine.

I guess we're just imagining things!

What do you think this smells like?

Hoshikawa-san collapsed?

Someone from the temple called to say he won't be coming to today's lesson.

Were you sleeping just now?

He collapsed because he loves you.

- What? - Didn't he say he had an important service tomorrow?

I wonder if he's going to be all right?

Well...

Why are you asking me?

- Good work today. - Good work today.

Oh! Mishima.

I'm sorry about the other night.

Did you have too much to drink?

If it were anyone else, I'd have reported them for sexual harassment!

- Well, it's just— - See you later!

- Print this one. - Okay.

I see...

So, since college...

Yes,

but I think I went too far the other night.

I wonder if we should just stay friends.

I'm sorry for telling you all of this...

It's fine.

But I think you'll regret it if you don't tell her

how you feel.

Kiyomiya-san?

[Dear Junko, Thanks for the card! Just hold tight, I'll make sure to pick you up next year.]

[Makoto Kiyomiya, December 2012]

I've...

finally realized that.

Good evening.

Hello?

Excuse me.

Takane

really can't make it anymore?

I did my best,

but I think it will be difficult.

This is why I said it was impossible to do the service

and the guesthouse at the same time!

This is a service for a former Prime Minister!

Takane...

I'll make him attend, even if I had to drag him there!

- Madam! - We finally...

got permission for Takane to do the service!

It's like

we're smearing the temple's reputation!

Nothing good ever happens when that woman comes here.

Hoshikawa-san...

Hoshikawa-san?

Is that you, Junko-san?

Yes.

You came...

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

You're not fine at all!

Please tell me if there's anything I can do for you.

Anything?

It depends on what...

Then...

Please hold my hand.

Junko-san...

Thank you.

Don't overdo it.

I want to

see your face.

Why did you push yourself so much?

Don't you have an important service tomorrow?

We shouldn't have played cards so late at night.

It was my first time...

staying up late with friends...

sleeping over with friends...

inviting friends

over to my house.

It was my first time for everything.

So I was happy.

We can do

that stuff all you want.

Really?

Yes.

Then, I want

to eat your cooked meals.

I'm not very good at cooking.

I want to go on a date with you.

All right, all right...

Are you okay?

May I...

stay like this for a while?

Sure.

Junko-san...

I want to be your husband.

I want...

a family with you.

I told you...

That's impossible.

I know you are sick, but you're getting carried away too much.

Junko-san...

I love you.

Hoshikawa-san?

Good morning.

Are you all right?

I've recovered completely.

- But you had such a high fever— - It's thanks to your nursing.

Thank you very much.

Junko-san.

I will do my best with the service.

I'm so glad! We're counting on you, Takane.

Don't worry.

Totally healed in only a day!

That's truly the power of love!

I'm sorry to have worried you.

I'll be going now.

♫ Can't stop loving you ♫

Madam...

I heard she took care of him all night.

When it comes to

marrying Takane-sama...

I won't give up.

I am the one best suited to be his wife.

♫ Bells are ringing somewhere ♫

♫ Words that are unlike me pop into my mind ♫

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

♫ Wait, why am I in love? ♫

♫ The song that's repeating Holly Night or whatever ♫

♫ And the town decorated sparkly is probably making me this way ♫

♫ How often I find myself missing you ♫

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

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

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

♫ 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 the only thing on your mind at all times ♫

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

♫ It will also take time, so the bottom line is ♫

♫ I love you ♫

Sakuraba...

Come to New York with me.

What?

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

♫ And not go anywhere ♫

♫ I want to be the only thing on your mind at all times ♫

♫ No, if I tell you that, I'll look like a fool ♫

♫ It will also take time, so the bottom line is ♫

♫ I love you ♫

♫ I'll say it over and over until you hear me ♫
