[Previously] - Siblings? - Are ya marryin' my brother?

Becomin' the wife of a monk is really stupid.

I shall both marry Junko-san, and succeed the Ikkyou Temple.

Please. The chief priest of Ikkyou Temple, must be my brother.

What are you scheming?

I'm terribly sorry!

I will go to New York on my own merit.

I'll always be your ally.

Please bring Takane here.

Happy Birthday. [Happy Birthday, Hoshikawa-san]

This is the happiest birthday I have ever experienced.

I will like you.

I will become your lover.

I lied to you. Grannie wanted to speak to you tonight.

Brother, I will paw everything from your grasp.

- Dating?! - Yes.

More or less...

Your efforts have ensured that our love is mutual.

I see... Finally!

It's been a long time coming, Takane-kun.

Brother... Congratulations!

You're overreacting! Also, didn't you just leave?

I just... "Came back!"

- Huh? - So cute!

- Do it again. - "Came back!"

Don't get carried away.

Since you're dating, you wouldn't want to part!

What about the temple?

I have taken furlough, so we can stay together for a while.

- "Furlough"? - He's taking a break!

- Paid leave! - More like, "dating leave".

- What? - Why don't you stay at our place?

- Why don't you just live together? - "Live together"?

We were so lovey-dovey when we just started living together.

- "Lovey-dovey". - You're too hooked.

No one could interrupt our flirting!

- "Flirting"... How so— - You're too hooked!

Morning kiss, good night kiss, thank you kiss,

see you kiss. Kisses all year round! I'd never do that nowadays.

- Kiss-kiss. I see. - Don't take notes!

Anyway, living together deepens your love!

"Deepens your love"...

- Junko-san! Let us cohabit, flirt, kiss, and deepen our love! - Excuse me?

Now, it's time to redecorate!

You can use my room!

You guys are too hasty! It's just been one day!

What are you doing? Nene, what are you— - Hey— !

Takane is...

Yes. It seems he forgot about the important discussion...

Madam! Takane would never forget a promise.

There must be some reason—

Contact our temple patrons. Soon,

- I will present Amane to them all. - Yes, ma'am.

Kaori-san, at that meeting, I shall announce your marriage to Amane.

What?

You are an absolute necessity to the Ikkyou Temple.

- But, I— - My, oh my...

Her beauty's wasted on me.

But I guess this is fate, so let's get along well.

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

Now then! Let us begin flirting!

We will not!

Junko-san, do you dislike me?

That's not it...

Then please say you like me.

- I'll tell you when it matters— - It matters now.

How sudden... I can't change attitudes that fast.

A solution.

Shall we begin by changing the way we refer to one another?

- "Refer to one another"... - What should I call you?

Well... Huh? Just call me by my first name.

Understood.

Ju...

Ju...?

- Jun... - You sound like you're "From up North"!

Would that be Canada or Norway? - No... (T/N: "From up North" is the name of an old Japanese drama)

Dad!

- What was that? - Ignore him.

- Let's just sleep. - "First Night Anniversary"—

Good night!

- Junko-san, a good night kiss? - Just sleep already!

Right, he sleeps with his eyes open.

I am awake. I cannot sleep.

Please sleep. Think of it like training.

Training...

Then at least lend me your hand.

I'm going to be late!

I'm sorry. You looked so beautiful when you slept that I turned off your alarm.

Idiot!

Junko-san, your obento.

- It's heavy! Thank you. - Can I have a thank you kiss?

What?

Oh! R-Right!

Here, a spare key.

My first spare key...

- Today is our "Spare Key Anniversary". - See you!

- Junko-san, what about a farewell kiss? - I'll be off.

Junko-san.

I'm going to be late!

Jeez, squat down!

See you!

This isn't so bad.

[From Five to Nine]

[Episode 8]

I've fallen for you.

I love you.

Remember, you told me to prove it?

I'll take everythin' that belongs to him.

I will make Junko-san happy.

You're dating Hoshikawa-san?!

- And you're living together?! - Indoor voices!

But you hated him! All of a sudden you're dating and living together?

- I don't understand. - That's romance for you.

So? Junko Sensei, do you like Hoshikawa-san?

- Yes. - Hoshikawa-san's persistence won...

So? You told him, "I like you"?

- I did once. - Once?

You have to say it 20 times a day.

But I haven't dated in forever! I don't know what I'm doing.

- And marriage? - We're just dating.

Junko Sensei, you're still saying that?

At your age, dating equals marriage.

You're wasting time by enjoying romance.

Saying it's a waste is—

What about you, Masako-chan? Your younger boyfriend.

- Of course I'm not marrying him. - What?

Sure, he's cute and fine.

But he's still young.

- He is rich, though... - What're you muttering?

Enough about me.

Junko Sensei, will you quit ELA if you marry?

That's the problem...

Are you giving up on New York?

Are you prepared for temple life?

But you'd be surrounded by hot monks... that sounds fun.

No, you'll be stuck cooking mountains of rice for disciples.

Cooked, eaten, cooked, eaten.

You'll be cooking rice all day long!

That's a sumo wrestler's wife!

Sumo! That's Seme-on-Seme.

Regardless, if you marry, you're a monk's wife.

Do you understand?

A monk's wife...

Takane-sama?

Are you alright?

I'm terribly sorry to have caused you worry.

Bro! Where have ya been?

We've been worried!

Tell Grandmother that he has returned.

- Yes. - Yes.

What are you plotting, Amane?

What are you plotting?

Will you fess up that I lied

about the time to meet Grannie?

If you confess all of it, Grannie may forgive you.

There is no need.

People who lie

will most likely feel the most guilt.

I wanted to become the chief priest,

even if I had to lie.

You've been pampered all your life.

You'll never understand how I felt, being treated as a nuisance.

Takane has arrived.

Please, meet him once more!

I do not...

wish to see his face.

But, Madam!

There is no place for Takane

in this Ikkyou Temple.

Not anymore.

I'm beat...

As she is, Madam remains stubborn.

I am aware.

Takane, are you currently residing with Sakuraba-san?

Yes.

We have started dating.

I see! Good for you!

Then leave the temple to me.

- But... - I shall appease Madam.

Rest easy!

- Chief Priest! - What's the matter?

Madam calls for you.

What?

Takane, take care so that Madam

- does not find you. - Thank you very much.

Takane-sama...

Kaori-san.

Will you...

never return?

Not at the moment.

As things go,

I shall marry Amane-san...

I do not wish this upon me.

I...

like you, Takane-sama.

I am terribly sorry.

At present,

Junko-san and I are dating.

You should also return home.

- Sakuraba. - Yes?

Here's the application form for the test to become a full-time employee.

If you pass, you'll join the New York branch. [ELA New York Promotion Examination Application Form]

You're going to work hard and grant your dreams, right?

Junko Sensei!

Yes?

What is this? [Junko Sensei ←Living together→ Hoshikawa-san]

[Kiyomiya-san ←Mentor-Mentee→ Junko Sensei]

A relationship chart. [ELA's Omotesandou Branch: Relationship Chart]

The relations within ELA's Omotesandou Branch

run deep.

So I organized it!

And why me?

That's because you've cut ties

with Kiyomiya-san.

Since you're living with the priest, you're out of the picture.

W-Wait, did Masako-chan...?

- Everyone knows. - What?

Rumor has it, you're trying for a child,

or already have one!

I don't. [Baby]

Anyway, I want an objective opinion.

Even if you say so...

First and foremost, these two. [Arthur Sensei ←♡→ Momoe Sensei]

Ms. Momoe, are you free tonight?

- Please! - It's dicey.

Arthur Sensei takes the lead and approaches,

but Momoe Sensei doesn't yield.

I feel bad for Arthur Sensei. [Arthur Sensei ←X→ Momoe Sensei]

Recently, these two have good vibes.

- Really? - Romance may be on the horizon!

Momoe Sensei, were you alright the other day?

- Mishima-san! - They're close!

C-Can you read this English phrase in Japanese?

"Tell me what you want"?

T-Thank you! Could you repeat that?

"Tell me what you want".

Masako-chan and... Hachiya-kun? [Masako-chan ←♡→ Hachiya-kun]

Here. Remember, you told me to prove it?

No, thanks. I can't accept gifts from a child.

Hold on. You asked—

It hasn't seemed to solidify.

Yet.

The younger kid Masako-chan talked about, was Hachiya-kun?

You didn't notice?

Junko Sensei, you're dense.

What now?

Yuki-chan was rejected by you, Junko Sensei.

- I didn't reject him. - Nene!

- This voice is...! - Huh?

Yuki-chan! What's up?

- For you. - Thank you!

Let's go shopping together!

I want to, but money's a bit...

Don't worry.

Yuki will treat you!

- For real? - Nene?!

- It's possible! - No, no, no.

Yuki's a guy! He's just cross-dressing!

- Give him two years, and he might become super manly! - Hold on!

Don't drag my sister into this!

I came to the conclusion that English education is necessary at temples.

Okay Mr. Hoshikawa, that's good.

But try to make it more concise, and to the point.

You take way too long to make a point.

How's this, for making a point.

Ms. Junko and I, have decided to go out.

- Mr. Hoshikawa! - And...

we're living together.

This has nothing to do with class.

And...

There's new life inside her.

The fruit of our love.

- Our baby. - What?

No, there isn't.

Wait. You're the one!

Grannie, did you hear about Takane?

He has started dating Junko-san.

Plus, it seems they're living together.

I have no interest in hearing about someone

who has no relation to this temple.

Amane.

Stop sneaking about.

You've been pampered all your life.

You'll never understand how I felt, being treated as a nuisance.

Hey, hold on.

Wait.

Accept it.

How persistent. We aren't even in that sort of relationship.

It's late, go on home.

Can I hand it to you now?

You suck.

I might be screwed.

Is there really an event for Lucifer-sama here?

I'm terribly sorry, Ms. Momoe.

There is no event.

What?

I wanted to see you.

How long do you plan on bullying me...

Ms. Momoe,

I'll be honest.

Unlike other women,

you have not shown interest in me, at all.

That's a first for me.

That is why I resorted to using your weakness, so I could get closer to you.

I've never seen someone smile so bright because of their passions.

Above all else...

I realized something upon seeing your smile.

Ms. Momoe...

I've fallen for you.

I love you.

Oh yeah, I have to go buy the BL which was released today.

There's something more important that just happened!

No, that's a pick-up line. But maybe...

A: If he was serious, that's my first boyfriend.

B: It's definitely a pick-up line.

B sounds more realistic!

Even so...

that was my...

first kiss.

My very first heartbreak.

Excuse me.

Five shots, and one for you.

Yes sir. Thank you very much.

I'm home.

[Mutual Love | Hoshikawa Takane]

What kind of decor sense is this?

Is this adequate?

It's perfect!

This was my dream, since I couldn't wash my own father's back.

Takane-kun.

- Ouch, ouch, ouch... - What is the matter?

My rear end's a bit...

I should warm up.

Takane-kun, it's slippery, so don't push me.

- Understood. - Alright? No pushing.

- Understood. - Absolutely no pushing!

I understand.

You're good at washing backs.

I have borrowed the bath.

- As have I— - Takane-kun. Sit down.

Yes ma'am.

- What is this? - This is called "Wagesa".

Not the item's name. What's with this mark?

Whose lipstick is this?

That would be Kaori-san's.

You met Kaori-san?

I visited the temple to pick up some personal belongings.

He confessed.

And why the lipstick?

That would be...

She leapt into your arms, didn't she? This proves it!

Calm down, Junko! Calm down!

- I'm sure it was by chance. - No way, dammit!

Dear...

I remember now.

One time your father came back with a lipstick stain.

He said not to worry, because it was from someone at a gay bar.

- But it was actually from the lady you met at the bar and went after! - What?!

That's from ages ago, let's move on!

- I'm angry just thinking about it. - Mother, that was an act of god.

"An act of god"?! No way!

Exactly! If you didn't accept her, there'd be no stain!

Takane-kun, do something!

Please, calm down! It's only lipstick.

Quit the coaxing!

I won't forgive you. I want a divorce!

- Divorce? - No more cohabitation!

No more cohabitation?!

- I don't want to see your face anymore! - D-Dear!

Calm down!

I can't believe you!

- I can't believe you! - But we— But we—

Junko!

Ouch, ouch!

Stop slapping my butt! Takane-kun, help me!

- Mother! - Leave!

- You idiot! - Idiot!

Mother, Junko-san! Please, open up!

Junko-san!

Takane-kun... Takane-kun, I'm freezing...

Father, are you alright?

I'm so cold...

Father?

- Father? - Takane-kun...

- I'm tired... - Father, don't close your eyes!

I can see something.

Father, I cannot see anything. Father? Father!

- Junko-san! - You're so loud!

You're embarrassing, just come back inside!

Thank you very much.

Just die!

Let me in too. Ouch...

I haven't forgiven you.

It is a misunderstanding.

What's with these matching items?

I heard lovey-dovey couples

have matching items, as written here. [Secret Carouse]

That's a girls' manga from 30 years ago.

To prove we have reconciled,

a matching sweater.

I'd rather die than wearing that!

Then...

Junko-san, what about these scarves?

You're thinking like a middle schooler.

You've dated others, right?

Though I did not reject anyone who asked me,

we dated for two weeks at most.

Somehow, I understand why.

Let's just go to sleep.

Oh, what?

I do these things

because it is you, Junko-san.

I wish to see your smile,

so I go a bit overboard. Forgive me.

I get it.

- Let me go. - Absolutely not.

- Why? Let me go! - Absolutely not.

- Let me go, let me go! - I will not.

Under one condition:

please say you "like me".

- I said it once. - I want to hear it once more.

- I'm waiting. - What? - I'm waiting.

- No, no! - Junko-san.

Takane-kun?

Want some hot sake to warm up?

Takane-kun!

Takane-kun?

Asleep already?

What a bore.

I had even come up with a fun drinking game.

Junko-san, let us continue.

This is my family home, so no.

That is true.

This is your family home.

Oh no, Takane-kun! This is bad!

- I will file a missing person's report. - It's so early, what's the fuss?

- Good morning. - We found this: I will be away for a while. Mother.

Don't worry. This happens every year.

She's probably with Grandpa in Saitama.

This time, she might be serious!

You say that every time.

Is it alright, not filing a report?

It's fine. Isn't this the norm for married couples?

Married couples are a true mystery...

- Amane is? - We must report to Takane-sama, immediately.

I understand, I will.

Jun...

Jun!

Jun.

Jun!

Jun...

I'm sorry.

Did you make that?

Yes.

This is no time for leisure.

The situation has changed.

Amane is plotting something.

As it stands, the Ikkyou Temple will...

I am sure Amane has his reasons.

You're being naive, Takane!

Wasn't Amane the reason you could not meet with your grandmother?

- Takane! - People tend to misunderstand Amane.

If his brother does not believe him,

who will?

Mishima! You're early.

I had something to tell Kiyomiya-san.

I also have something to tell you, Sakuraba...

I'm quitting the ELA this month.

I got a job transfer.

Job transfer?

To New York.

I see...

We'll miss you, but I'm glad! Good luck.

Hey, Sakuraba...

No, it's nothing.

I expect a grand farewell party.

Alright.

Have you finally resolved to give up the temple?

Amane, what are you plotting?

- What do you mean? - Lying is unforgivable.

That's irrelevant to someone rotting in a woman's home.

Or what? Have you decided to leave Junko-san

and return to the temple?

I...

will give up neither the Ikkyou Temple nor Junko-san.

New York...

Who are you people?

There she is.

It has been a while...

- I heard you are dating Takane. - Yes ma'am.

You did not bother to come and greet me?

I'm terribly sorry.

Since the other day, Hoshikawa-san—

What a wonderful company.

- Thank you very much. - It fits you well, Junko-san.

It is almost like your beloved New York.

You are a person on this side.

Takane and I reside in a different realm.

No matter how much you try,

I will never acknowledge you as Takane's wife.

Please end your relationship with Takane.

Understood?

Let us depart.

Yes ma'am.

Are you alright?

I am.

You don't look alright.

Remember? You can talk to me about anything.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Sis! Dad is...!

What's wrong with Dad?

- Sis! - Where's Dad?

Nene-san and I have just arrived.

What should we do...

- Where's our Dad? - I'm sorry!

My god Dad, you just had hemorrhoids!

- Where's your Mom? - I called her, but she said, "It's probably just hemorrhoids".

How cold is she.

- Perhaps we should explain to Mother— - It's fine.

His hemorrhoids are quadrennial.

Almost like the Olympics!

It hurts!

Don't hate me so much.

I'm hurt...

Hey.

Do ya like my brother that much?

Yes.

That's fine. I'll take everythin' that's his.

I'll steal everythin',

mess it up, and toss it away.

Sorry, is this okay for dinner?

Of course. [Nagaraku Ramen]

We wait 3 minutes, correct?

Is this your first time eating cup ramen?

Yes.

It is indeed.

Takane and I reside in a different realm.

Please, end your relationship with Takane.

Is something wrong?

Nope, nothing.

I can't stand lies.

Tell me anything.

As long as it is in my power,

I will do anything.

Junko-san...

Was that the microwave?

I was...

heating up croquettes...

Somehow,

we're always interrupted.

Maybe...

God is saying we're incompatible.

Neither god nor Buddha

would say such a thing.

Junko-san...

I want to stay like this.

Just a bit longer...

Let me stay like this.

[Ikkyou Temple]

Matching scarves!

So passionate!

So lovey-dovey!

I'm going to burn up! Says the baker.

- Such comedy. - No need to encourage him.

I was complimented!

See you, Mitsuru! Take care!

Ouch, ouch! That hurts!

Junko-chan,

I wish you

happiness!

- What? - Even if you marry, eat bread.

I have an extra stroller!

You guys are jumping the gun!

Why're you crying?

Where's Mom?

She texted me.

"Butt, take care. The End." (T/N: The character for "hemorrhoid" is used in both sentences)

Why are you so elated?

Once "The End" is sent, she's coming home.

Married couples are growing more and

more mysterious...

I'm heading to work.

- Take care. - I will.

Junko-san.

Thank you.

Have a wonderful day at work.

I will.

- Junko Sensei. - Yes?

You have a guest again.

Again? Who is it this time?

Are you dating Sakuraba?

Yes.

Do you plan to marry her?

Yes.

- I see. - I will

make Junko-san happy.

Hoshikawa-san,

if she were to marry you,

she must give up on her dream of going to New York. You know this, right?

If you make Sakuraba cry,

I'll steal her away.

- Chased out of the temple? - Yes.

Why didn't he tell me...

To not cause you worry, I assume.

What about

Hoshikawa-san becoming the chief priest?

At this rate,

Amane will take over.

No way...

Takane has practiced incredible diligence,

all so he could become the chief priest.

Junko-san.

The Ikkyou Temple

is irreplaceable to Takane.

Ever

since his parents passed,

he has conversed with the altar

every day.

Father, Mother,

I have scored perfect 100's

on all tests, in every subject.

Please look.

I placed first in a race during

our school's field day.

I have successfully turned twenty.

I will continue

practicing diligence, to succeed as the chief priest

of the Ikkyou Temple.

To Takane...

the Ikkyou Temple is the one place he has memories of his parents.

However...

As things stand...

My Ma and Pop's altar?

I don't care about them.

They're strangers to me.

Ma and Pop aren't the only strangers.

That shitty Grannie's no different.

Always dotin' on Takane.

Tossin' me t' some temple in Kyoto.

Only usin' me when it's convenient for her...

Every single one of them pisses me off!

Amane is...

planning to destroy the Ikkyou Temple.

The only one who can stop him,

is you, Junko-san.

You're our last hope.

I beg of you.

Please...

Break up with Takane.

I know.

I know I am being selfish.

However, to convince Madam otherwise,

I am left with this one option.

Please.

Please forget

about Takane.

Takane and I live in a different realm.

Please, end your relationship with Takane.

If she were to marry you,

she must give up on her dream of going to New York. You know this, right?

Please forget about Takane.

I like you.

I love everything about you.

I have returned.

Welcome back.

I see you came home early.

Hoshikawa-san,

I have something important to discuss.

The chief priest came to see me.

I heard that you've been chased out of the temple.

Why didn't you tell me?

I...

did not wish to worry you.

We're dating, correct?

Yes.

Then allow me to worry.

I want to worry about you.

That is what it means

to "date".

I see.

Your grandmother also visited me.

She said,

we live in different realms.

Hoshikawa-san...

- We should— - Junko-san.

Not another word, please.

I...

do not wish to separate from you.

Absolutely not.

But...

If I'm with you, you can't return to the temple.

I don't want to take away an important place from you.

Nor do I want you to lose

a place where you have memories of your parents.

Junko-san...

But, I'm sorry.

I...

like you.
