[Previously] - A date? - Is there anywhere you'd like to go?

He has been working hard to find ways to make you happy.

I'm hoping to spend Christmas with you this year.

I've already decided to take you to New York.

- My sister won't be able to come. - I'll wait a little longer.

I don't want to know the truth. I don't want to get hurt.

I got scared and ran away.

Why are you here?

I love you.

Junko-san...

Do you like me?

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by ⏰ From 5→9 Straight to Burnout @Viki.com

Let's go home.

I will cherish you.

I will wait...

until you truly love me.

I'm sorry...

I bought it two years ago, at the temple festival!

- Dear... - What'll we ever do with you?

It couldn't be helped!

- Daifuku-chan! - She's embarrassed.

- Morning... - Finally! How long did you plan on sleeping?

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Sorry to have you come so early, Takane-kun.

Sit down, sis.

- Hey! - Sorry!

Actually, we wanted to fix the date.

We can have a small one this weekend only with the family.

Plus, Dad sent his suit out to clean.

I know that sigh. "God, marriage talk, again?"

- "I'm not marrying." - "Stop stirring up my folks!"

- Excuse me? - This is probably what you thought.

But nope, you're totally wrong!

The correct answer is... if you'd please, Dear?

- The correct answer is— - Grandma's memorial service!

- Memorial service? - It's been seventeen years since her passing.

- We'll hold the service here. Now then, let's eat! - Alright!

- Food, food! - A memorial service... here?

- Sorry, sorry. - Are you all right?

I shall be in your care.

Food's ready, everyone!

Takane-kun, come here!

[From Five to Nine]

[Episode 6]

- Alright, eat up! - Are you all right?

Here you go, Takane-kun!

- Yesterday... - Yes, really!

Don't hold back, don't hold back!

Dig in!

- A wedding? Here?! - Yes!

Alex and Brittany insisted because they met here!

Since when were you guys dating?

Congratulations you two! - Thank you, Junko!

- I'm here to help, so don't hold back, okay? - Thank you. - Okay.

Then, Ms. Junko, can we entrust you to be our emcee?

- I'm unworthy of such a big job... - Not at all!

You're both beautiful and lovely. You're perfect for the job!

- That's quite generous... - Right, Ms. Momoe?

- He's right. - Really?

- Guess I'll do my best! - Yeah, I'm glad!

Your partner's been decided, Makoto.

- Partner? - Come.

I'll be in your care.

Likewise.

Thank you, Junko!

Takane will supervise the Sakuraba family's memorial service?

As the chief priest's successor, Takane ought to garner experience for such services.

In addition, the Sakurabas are frequent attendees to our temple.

So...

I will allow it.

Are you absolutely sure?

Takane, take care to properly fulfill your duties.

Thank you very much.

Our secretaries will be in charge of ushering guests.

- Yes, Sir. - As for the teachers themselves...

Ms. Momoe and I will create a video documenting their blooming relationship.

- Good idea! - Let's make it a real tear-jerker, Ms. Momoe.

If you wouldn't like to, then...

I never said I wouldn't.

Then it's settled.

- Kelly and co., I leave you to attend the bride and groom. - Okay.

- Got it. - I'll leave the catering to those at "Saloon".

Is that alright with you, Sakuraba?

Yes, sounds good!

Well then, that's enough about the wedding. Back to work.

Yes, Sir.

- Sakuraba. - Yes?

After work, how about we hold a briefing session over a meal?

I'm a bit busy today.

I'll organize the plans, and email you later. Please check it over.

Got it.

I'm so excited for the wedding!

What's up?

You're pushing yourself. It's written all over your face.

Oh...

Come on, there's nothing to hide between us. Let it all out.

Did I do something?

Is there nothing that comes to mind?

Nothing.

An affair? Really?

I saw his wedding photos.

Then Kiyomiya-san's wife is...

- Probably in New York. - Did you ask him?

How could I?

If that were true, my very footing would crumble.

I really respect Kiyomiya-san,

so I don't want to hate him.

Is that how that works?

Sorry. If I had a romantic experience, I'm sure I'd have a piece of advice to give.

But I only know about BL...

If this were a BL, what would happen next?

Yes, well, marriage is quite the obstacle in BL!

The paths to take are plenty, but one recent BL that made me cry

was where the Uke was married, so the Seme gave up on him— (T/N: "Uke" is receiver, bottom, "Seme" is dominant, top)

I see, thank you. Thank you Momoe Sensei.

I'm alright now.

I'm back.

Welcome home.

I have returned home.

What? Where is everyone?

Mother and Nene-sama have gone shopping.

Father has not returned.

Understood...

Junko-san,

I'm terribly sorry.

I...

I deeply reflect on my actions

of that night.

Same here.

My sincerest apologies.

Besides, the hotel—

S-Sorry,

I worked an earlier shift today.

Your secret's safe with me.

- Dad, you're mistaken! - Don't worry.

I'll carry it to my grave.

It's a misunderstanding...

Sit down. Both of you, sit.

Listen.

It'll be okay.

I won't tell a soul.

- We're home! - It'll be okay.

- The sales were great today! - Everything was so cheap!

- So heavy... - Heavy...

I can't keep it a secret! Dear, these two—

- No! Dad! - Father!

- These— - Dad!

Dad! [Junko 5th Birthday, Junko 4th Birthday, Field Day (September)]

- Junko, dinner's ready! - Yes! [Junko: Age 3, Junko 3rd Birthday]

What are you watching?

You don't remember? You filmed this with Grandma Sachie.

This is you, Sis?

- Dear, what's for dinner? - Your favorite!

See look! She's singing ABC's, but messes up halfway through!

"H, I, J, K, N, M, M". See?

Why are we even watching this?

I asked, so as to better understand Sachie-san before the service.

Mother wasn't keen on photos, so we barely have any.

- Then we found these. - Exactly. This one.

We won this camcorder at the downtown lottery and shot loads of videos.

- Stand right there. Here we go! - It's when you first entered elementary school!

This might be the first time I've properly seen Grandma.

Unfortunately, she passed right after you were born, Nene.

- She didn't laugh one bit. - Dad, you're too close!

Always so stoic.

This person is our Grandma...

Sorry, Takane-kun. This must be a bore to you.

Not at all. Please, tell me more.

Honoring the individual, and sharing our memories,

is the most important memorial of all.

What's wrong? You sound like a monk!

Come on Dear, he is a monk!

- Let's dig in! - Oden! (T/N: Japanese stew with boiled eggs, daikon, konjac, fishcakes, soy-flavored dashi broth)

- Dear, you get konjac and eggs. -Smile.

Oden huh... Isn't it hot?

Eating hot food is your forte!

Jeez! Why are you filming me?

I apologize. I was gazing at your face, and...

Stop it already.

From this point forward,

I shall record your development, Junko-san.

Stop it, no need!

- Let's all join in! - What?

- All right, squeeze in! - Say cheese!

- It does not work. - It is quite old.

Really?

Ta-daa!

- "It's so pretty!" - Right?

Are you guys doing alright?

- It seems Tanimura-san cannot attend... - What do you think?

It's so cute! As expected of your skills!

Sorry to have you work, right before classes!

We want to celebrate Alex and Brittany, too.

- Let's make this the best wedding ever! - Yes, let's do it!

Speaking of, what's up with him?

I'm terribly sorry.

Hoshikawa-san, that's non-consensual videography.

You're close, close, close!

You're being captured majestically. Your parents have also given me permission.

Ignore him, and let's do our best!

Junko-chan, can I borrow you for a second?

- Is this a bit much? - No, it's cute!

- Really? - Yeah, it's very cute!

Mishima-san?

I received this from a client and wondered if they'd want it for the ceremony...

- Your glasses. - Yeah. A change of pace.

- Sakuraba. - Yes? Oh!

- What is it? - Oh my god.

We're responding to a customer complaint by email. What would you write in the subject line?

"Concerning your request."

Sounds good.

- Hold on. Mr. Hoshikawa? - Don't mind me.

I do mind.

- Can you please stop? - Just recording here.

All right, give me the camera.

Let go, will you?

- You're so cute together! - Nice!

- Right? - Nice!

Will you?

- Very nice! - Hey, come on!

Very nice!

Good work.

How's this?

- You changed it to blue? Looks good! - Really?

- Yes! - Thank you!

Sakuraba,

- you got a minute? - We can talk, right here.

- The other day, you saw a picture— - Let's drop this conversation.

I want to properly explain everything to you.

Why not cut your bangs?

All event plans have been organized.

- Sakuraba— - Check it when you have time.

- Oh, hi! - Hey!

I see.

I'd like to have a conversation with her.

Like I said, that's non-consensual videography.

Junko-chan!

But with him there...

It's finally! Done!

- Congratulations! - Thank you!

Junko Sensei! Tanimura-san can now attend!

Okay, got it.

What?

Thus,

I have a favor to ask you, Ms. Momoe.

Hey, hey, hey!

Ta-daa! Doesn't it look great?

High-five!

We still have things to do!

I feel healed...

So, I heard that Kiyomiya-san...

Yes?

- Um... So... - What?

I can't explain. I'm going to relate it to BL.

In other words, while Lucifer is lost in a labyrinth of darkness,

Michael is sealed away in the shrine of eternity. Then—

Hold on, I don't get it. At all.

- So that's no good either... - What?

In other words, Kiyomiya-san's...

Oh my gosh!

What a coincidence!

Oh my!

You two, relax!

- Why a public bath? - It's the Japanese art of naked bonding!

As both of your guys' friend, I cannot stand by this any longer!

How about we be honest with one another?

I've got nothing to say.

What about you, Mr. Hoshikawa?

I too, have nothing to add.

- Do you come here often? - Yes.

I'm friends with the owner.

Wow, your connections run deep.

What to say? This burden's too heavy for me. Help...

Speaking of, you're so popular, Masako-chan.

That's not true.

This year's a bad crop.

If that's the case, what does that make me? Barren wasteland?

You were doing so well with Mishima! How'd that turn out?

I've got the feeling I have to end that chapter.

- Oh my... - It's just as much of a mystery to myself.

I think I seriously liked him.

Too late for that now.

I see.

But you're the last person I wanted to hear that from, Junko Sensei.

- What? - Just talking to myself.

Hey, you two...

Let's get out now...

Please, go ahead.

No please, you first.

Junko Sensei, how's it going with the monk?

- No, Hoshikawa-san is... - Not that I really care.

Maybe I'll choose the one who says he likes me...

He's a bit young though...

How young?

Still in his teens.

That's a crime.

- Right? - Masako-chan.

Momoe Sensei, are you dating Arthur Sensei?

- Excuse me? - You're definitely dating!

- No, we're just coworkers. - What?

But Arthur Sensei's love for you is overflowing! Right, Junko Sensei?

- She's got a point. - No!

I give up!

You've come back to our place, as if it's only natural.

There is prep to be done before the service.

Yet, I went a bit overboard.

You're no longer a child...

My pride as a man was on the line.

Excuse me.

- I won. - What?

I won.

Sis...

- Mom! - No, you're wrong!

Junko is... Dad!

I...

When I went in there...

I won.

- The other day, you saw a picture— - Let's drop this conversation.

Order up.

Delicious!

We could've had French or Italian cuisine...

I was in the mood for noodles.

Man, I was so excited to be invited out, only to be taken to ramen.

The mood's all destroyed.

Children have no need to be extravagant.

Your hat.

And what do you say before eating?

Thanks for the meal.

Eat up.

Delicious!

Hoshikawa-san...

I apologize for waking you.

Are you alright?

Thanks to your care.

- Hey, Junko! - What now?

Sorry for watching without permission.

I wanted to learn more about Sachie-san, before the service.

I'm surprised you can watch. Only family members would get a kick out of this.

That's why I'm happy.

To me,

everyone here is already family.

As I said before, I wish to grow closer to the people

the person I like likes.

Well, I also wanted to see Junko-san throughout the ages.

What's that suppose to mean?

Regardless, I see Sachie-san was truly not one to laugh.

- Return it! - Return it! Return it, you thief!

Hoshikawa-san, you're the same.

I've never seen you laugh.

When I am with you Junko-san, I am laughing more than usual.

- R-Really? - Indeed.

I will change the tape.

Wait, are you planning on watching all of them?!

I wish to see what sort of life you led,

and burn it into my eyes.

Can't be helped. I'll keep you company.

Here.

What are you...?!

I'll make it easier for you to see.

Alright.

Oh...

Hey, Hoshikawa-san. Hey!

- Hey, come on. - Junko-chan! What did you ask Santa for Christmas?

A brother or sister!

What is she saying?

- Oh my gosh, this recording is so embarrassing! - Your father will do his best!

What are we going to do?

No thanks!

And your parents...

They passed, when I was about his age.

Your grandmother is still not smiling.

Newborn Nene looks like a monkey!

I think she looks very cute.

[Sakuraba Family Gravestone]

Thank you. It's so clean!

[Sakuraba Family Gravestone]

Thanks for coming all this way.

I cannot pray the sutras this time around.

- Sixteen years... So quick to come. - Indeed.

Time truly flies.

Do you remember? When we drunk until daybreak, you let me stay here, all hung over and battered,

and Sachie-san made miso soup for us. That was delicious!

- It sure was! - You've been friends for that long?

We've been friends since before you were born, Junko-san!

I didn't know.

Takane will properly carry out the memorial service.

Just this morning, he was cleaning the Sakuraba family gravestone once again.

He doesn't have to be so considerate.

That's just the kind of man Takane is.

I hope that Takane will continue to be in your care.

- Junko, the tea. The tea! - O-On it!

Keiko-san, raise your head.

Even so, my judgement was correct.

He's incredibly happy and fortunate to have met you.

- Not at all... - Takane has changed since meeting Junko-san.

I'm really, really happy!

Thank you.

- She's completely different from his previous girlfriends. - What?

- What? - W-What, h-huh? Hoshikawa-san has dated other people...?

Of course, Takane-kun must have had one or two girlfriends!

But he feels inexperienced...

Not at all! During university, he was quite the ladies' man!

His girlfriend in the first year was named Haru-chan. A quiet, shy girl.

Then, in his second year was Nacchan. A sporty, ocean lover.

In his third year was Aki-chan. She was quite sexy and passionate!

If Fuyu-chan came along, he would get all four seasons! (T/N: His previous exes are all named after seasons)

- But in his fourth year, he dated Angela! - Angela?

No "Fuyu", no winter!

- What a shame. - He was so close!

How would you apologize to someone for your thoughtless actions?

I'm sorry for being inconsiderate.

Say it with more persuasion.

Mr. Hoshikawa, I'm waiting.

I apologize for my actions. I should have been more considerate.

That's not enough.

Mr. Hoshikawa, say it with your heart.

The last thing I ever wanted, was to trouble you. And I have.

I'm ashamed of my actions, and sincerely apologize for being so inconsiderate.

Alright, that's the end of class. Good-bye.

What angers you?

She's completely different from his previous girlfriends. During university, he was quite the ladies' man! Angela!

- How am I angry? - Like right now.

I am not angry. Class is dismissed, please leave.

- Sakuraba... - What is it?

Your actions contradict your words.

What do you mean?

Weren't you going to tell the monk you're not dating him?

There's no helping it. We have a memorial service coming up.

- Isn't this irrelevant to you, Mishima? - I'm asking, as a friend—

- Why not worry about yourself before others? - Pardon?

Have you talked it out with Masako-chan?

There was nothing between us.

See you.

Mishima-san— !

I'm sorry, I was mistaken.

Mishima-san!

[ELA | English Learning Academy] [49ers Saloon]

- Masako-chan, I apologize— - I liked you.

What?

I liked you, Mishima-san.

My apologies. I just wanted to let it out.

I didn't want to erase the "me" who liked you, Mishima-san.

I see.

Thanks, Masako-chan.

I feel so relieved!

Holy shit, is he... a Puppy Seme?

The memorial video is complete.

- Let's watch. - A-Alright.

Did you guys finish? High-five!

I suggest you give up...

- Good work. - See you!

- Sakuraba. - Yes?

Here. This is yours, right?

There's something I want to tell you.

Two years before I met you, I...

I'll see you around.

Hoshikawa-san, let's take our leave.

Here is fine.

- I'll escort you home. - I'll be fine.

I will see you for the memorial service tomorrow.

Well then.

Junko!

What's the matter?

Junko-chan, here. [Condolence Gift, from the Shopping District​]

- The anniversary of your Grandma's passing is tomorrow, right? - Say something earlier!

- How did you know? - Takane-kun came to us.

He asked about your Grandma.

I almost cried because of nostalgia!

Here.

Thank you.

Takane-sama...

Why? Why can't I be the one?

I'm sorry. There are preparations I must see through.

Takane-sama, why put so much effort into such a small service?

Every memorial service is equally as important.

Where's my suit?

Dear, where's my suit?

It's still at the dry cleaners...

Doesn't matter what, just wear something.

- No, but— - He'll be here any minute.

Yes, coming!

Good morning.

Mom, Takane-san is ready!

Takane-kun looks more stunning than usual!

He looks like a competent man.

Dear, isn't this weird?

Oh, Takane-kun. Thank you for your efforts.

Dad, your hat.

We shall now begin the memorial service for the 16th anniversary of Sakuraba Sachie-san's passing.

Allow me to say a few words before my sutras.

These were Sachie-san's favorite, the cosmos.

In flower language, they symbolize "love".

These flowers fitting of Sachie-san, who was overflowing with love.

Aren't you a bit quick to cry?

I suddenly remembered!

When I got married, she gave me some cosmos... (T/N: Cosmos - Japanese snack)

I asked many people about Sachie-san.

They all agreed on one thing. They, "never saw her laugh".

As I thought...

However,

there were times Sachie-san laughed.

There is proof of such occurrence.

What?

It exists.

As I was watching these old videos, I understood.

Sachie-san, who disliked being on camera, often took videos of everyone else, yes?

Whenever everyone was laughing,

there was always an additional chuckle captured on tape.

It was Sachie-san's laughter.

Congratulations Junko!

Whenever you were relaxing as family...

Junko-chan, you're doing so wonderful!

When Junko-chan was cradling the newborn Nene-san...

Starting today, you're a big sister, Junko-chan.

She was a kind Grandma.

I wanted to properly meet her.

Mom...

Sachie-san was always laughing.

She...

When she saw everyone else happy...

She was always laughing.

Losing someone important to you is sorrowful and heartrending.

However,

think back on the good memories, flowers in hand.

Be grateful for the life you have.

That is the best way to memorialize the deceased.

You sound like a monk again.

Like I said, he is a monk!

[Welcome to our Wedding Reception: November 2015] [Brittany & Alex]

- Junko-chan! - Yuki-chan!

- Hey, sis! - Nene, why?

I brought her along!

Do you need any help?

Can you help Yuki-chan in the dressing room?

- Okay! - Thanks.

- Let's go! - See you!

Hey. Let's have a chat when this is all over.

My apologies.

- This hairstyle. This suit. My god. - What?

Excuse me. [ELA Happy Wedding Alex & Brittany]

Momoe Sensei, look! The cake's done! High-five!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.

Please help me welcome, our bride and groom.

Next up!

A show video made by Mr. Arthur, and Ms. Momoe.

On how this beautiful couple, came to be.

- What's wrong? - Everything!

- What? - Oh my god.

Hey! Come on, close!

Stay!

W-Why?

You scared me.

It's opening and closing?

Yeah. It's opening and closing.

If you would like, please use this.

- But that's— - I think this will suffice.

Opening... Closing... Opening...

Everyone, allow me to direct your attention to the screen again. Enjoy.

- We want to celebrate Alex and Brittany, too. - Let's make this the best wedding ever!

Yes, let's!

Hey! Why are you two arguing?

Don't expose me!

- We've got so much more... I'll let them know. - Thank you!

Hoshikawa-san, you should help out!

"Looks good! Thanks, Yuki-chan!"

Yay! Looking good!

Hoshikawa-san brought refreshments!

Wow, Hoshikawa-san, thank you very much!

- Brittany, congrats! - Congratulations, Alex!

As I was filming you, everyone else naturally gathered.

There are always many people surrounding you.

This has become my treasure.

Three, two, one...

- How embarrassing! - Amazing!

- Congrats! - Thanks!

Alright, picture time! Come on, everyone!

Yuki-chan! It's time for pictures! Let's go!

Okay! Say cheese!

On behalf of my beautiful wife and I,

I'd like to thank all of you for joining us today.

General Manager Kiyomiya, Ms. Junko.

We sincerely appreciate you, for providing us with this opportunity.

Those of you who know me, are probably expecting me to say a few words.

And... you're right.

Today, my childhood dream has come true.

I married the love of my life, had my ideal wedding... I could speak for hours...

But most importantly, you guys are here to celebrate with me...

Somehow, I finally get it.

I understand why my heart felt so gloomy.

Something's been weighing on my mind.

Your... exes. I wondered if they had seen you smile.

But I'm fine now. Since I saw it for myself.

- Junko-san. - Yes?

I do not know anyone by the name of "Exes"...

Excuse me? No need to joke.

Thank you for the video, and everything else.

♫ Bells are ringing somewhere ♫

♫ Words that are unlike me pop into my mind ♫

I see. So Ms. Junko remains unaware.

Yes.

That Makoto's wife has already passed.

And that the first person he's loved since her passing,

was Ms. Junko.

♫ 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 ♫

Welcome back.

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

Takane is unworthy of succeeding as chief priest.

♫ I love you ♫

This Ikkyou Temple is all yours.

[Ikkyou Temple]

[Next time] - Are you Sakuraba Junko-san? - Y-Yes?

I will marry Junko-san, and succeed the Ikkyou Temple. [A conclusive answer filled with anguish]

Becomin' the wife of a priest is really stupid.

- I'll always be your ally. - I will not longer run.

A sweet kiss...

So long as you do as I say, all will be well.

- What about you? - Nothing shakes her heart.

- Junko Sensei, you're sly. - What?

What are you scheming?

You...

I will paw everything from your grasp. [A formidable foe, makes their appearance]
