How are you, Iori?

Have you gotten used to your new school?

Are you studying hard for your exams?

To Iori Tomo

Are you joining the high school basketball team?

POST

A lot has happened here

since I last spoke to you.

The entire household seems to be in bad spirits.

My married sister

came back home for good.

This is apparently called

moving back home.

What do you mean, the marriage wasn't registered?

I don't know either.

Ken.

You said you knew about this.

Why didn't you immediately tell me such an important thing?

I'm sorry.

How embarrassing.

I should've opposed it more forcefully,

rather than let something like this happen.

Even if it had been against her will,

I should've forced her to be with Ken.

The always-bright Arare

naturally seemed pretty shocked about this.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

I bought eggplants.

I thought Sister would like to eat some.

How is she?

Her fever still hasn't come down.

I see.

Let's cook something once she feels better.

I think it'll make her happy.

Yes.

You're busy studying, right?

Do your best!

I wish I could turn back time,

even just a little,

to when Arare was roaring with laughter,

and Hina was smiling cheerfully.

and I was alongside both of them.

Wouldn't it be nice if I could turn back time to then?

I was looking for you.

Hina.

Please say it.

I'll answer it properly this time.

Please ask me what you want to know.

How do you see

Shijaku?

Did you

love her?

I loved her.

We spent time together since we were kids.

And I loved her.

I see.

I understand.

Are you going to Paris, Ken?

I want to,

but I need approval from the proprietress.

You should go.

I don't think Mother would be against it.

You should go even if she does.

Because

you have freedom, Ken.

Paris seems to be a nice place.

It seems like a nice place.

You can go anywhere

and do anything you want.

Mother is being her usual self.

You shouldn't take it seriously.

She has a quick temper,

but she doesn't mean it.

She doesn't think you're to blame.

I know.

Hey, Ken.

I'm sorry about the other day.

For saying that.

I don't want you to be thinking about other people.

I love you, Ken.

I was jealous.

Everybody seemed to only care about my sister.

It was a younger sister's jealousy.

And I ended up saying something like that.

I'm embarrassed.

Forget what I said.

Forget everything.

Let's start over.

Okay?

Yeah.

Okay.

There's a tea party at Shiraishi's tomorrow.

That lady of that house is really strict about tea manners.

I need to be prepared.

See you later.

How did it end up like this?

FUKUYADOU HONPO: KYOTO LOVE STORY

HINOYAMA

EPISODE 9 TRUE FEELINGS

Thank you.

You left it on purpose.

So Hina would find it.

You told me

to wait here.

You told me that

at the entrance, when I came to this house that day.

I think

my hair stick is somewhere in the house.

Okay, wait here.

Yes.

It sounded like

you didn't want me to come inside.

Like,

"You're no longer someone who can come inside this house.

"Because we're over."

We are over.

Since a year ago.

Why?

Why can't it be me?

You told me

you loved me.

Satoko,

I can't marry you.

-Even if I did... -You can't make me happy?

That's what you were going to say, right?

That's just

an excuse.

You wanted an ordinary family, didn't you?

So people wouldn't talk behind your back.

A respectable family.

That's why

you didn't want to marry

the daughter of a mistress.

Yes.

I wanted a proper family.

And I wanted you

to have a proper family too.

There is

no such thing.

Even if there were,

it would never be

within your grasp.

There's a nice breeze today.

Do you want to go for a walk?

It will change your state of mind.

We can invite Hana too.

What do you say?

How?

How what?

How can I face everyone

after all that's happened?

It's a small world, rooted in tradition.

People are

certainly already talking about it.

"Such an embarrassment for the Fukuyoshi family."

I caused trouble

for Mother and you girls.

I'm a pathetic person.

I know

I don't have the right

to come back to this house.

Hey, Hina.

You know what?

I'm brokenhearted.

I'm brokenhearted, you know?

It's hard to believe.

It was a very ugly way to be rejected.

But

I went to bed

and saw Mother and Hana's faces the next morning.

They were the same as usual.

And it made me feel somewhat relieved.

When I got rejected,

I was so sad

that I thought the world shifted.

But, in truth, nothing had changed.

Nothing changed,

Hina.

At least,

we haven't changed.

We never thought of it as an embarrassment.

So you don't have to worry

about staying in this house.

Arare, can you come here a bit?

I just got an order.

Ten pieces of "Autumn in the Village," is it?

We should be able to do this.

How are we going to deliver, though?

We're already knee-deep in work.

I can deliver then.

Hana will be home soon, so she can take care of the store.

Okay.

We finally received an order.

Let's deliver it on time.

Okay, I'm relying on you guys!

She's so energetic!

Even at a time like this.

That's precisely the reason.

When a problem arises in this house,

she's the one who works the hardest.

She thinks

she cannot leave things as they are.

You're right.

FUKUYADOU HONPO

Ken...

Don't go.

Don't leave!

Don't leave!

Don't leave!

FUKUYADOU

-Did Hina take her pills? -I'm going out.

-What about the kitchen? -It's lunch break.

Tell Sei.

Ken, wait!

What are you doing, at a time like this?

You can tell by looking.

Do you have to do that now?

Do you have to do that

before taking care of Hina?

What did you want to do?

You said you wanted to marry Hina

and you took her away from home.

Do you know what kind of state she's in right now?

She's the one

who wanted to go home.

"I can't no longer be with you."

That's what she told me.

You made her say that.

Did you try to stop her?

Did you tell her you still wanted to be with her?

Ever since she was told she would inherit Fukuyadou

she did everything the Proprietress asked of her.

She kept her feelings

locked deep within her all this time.

When she met you she must've thought

that she has the right

to live freely, as she desires.

And look what you've done.

You made her

close her heart again.

Say something!

I

wanted a proper family.

I'm home.

Welcome home.

I thought

I could have such a family if it was to be with her.

But

I...

Something like that

will never be

within your grasp.

What?

Make it clear!

You really are a straightforward person.

Hina

should marry a guy like you.

What the hell are you saying?

What an irresponsible thing to say!

You're right.

I'll head over there to say hello

when the opportunity arises.

I'll prepare appropriately

even though we weren't officially married.

You truly are a horrible person.

You must have work to get back to.

Please leave.

Welcome back, Ken.

Hey,

you know that snack we served at the Kangetsu tea ceremony?

That was really popular.

And I was thinking we could serve that at the cafe as well.

But if you are against it, we don't have to.

We made that specifically for the moon-viewing.

We can't do moon-viewing at the cafe.

I'm sorry, Arare.

What is it?

Could you leave me alone?

Sorry.

I know I'm doing unnecessary things.

After what happened to my sister,

everyone's

feeling depressed.

Everyone is wondering

whether it isn't their fault.

There must've been something I could've done

before things ended up like this.

I might've pretended that I didn't notice it even though I did.

But

there's no point

thinking about that now.

I'm thinking about

what I can do now.

Things don't go smoothly.

I try to push onward, smilingly.

The more I think about it, the more it brings me down.

If you can't go back,

you just have to move forward.

But

when I try to move forward, my feelings get in the way.

I'm going out.

Could you leave me alone?

I thought I had given up,

but my feelings are telling me,

"That's a lie.

"You are not even close to giving up.

"You don't know when to give up.

"You're just pretending

"that you gave up

"and acting like a good girl."

I...

You're a good girl,

Arare.

You tried to smile for everybody.

You even considered giving up

for the guy.

That must have been painful!

But

it's painful

because you're thinking

about the other person.

You're a good girl, aren't you,

Arare?

-It's good. -Really?

But that's enough for me.

Was it a little too sweet?

Ken.

Was it my fault?

If I had married you,

like Mother said,

maybe this wouldn't have happened.

Such a

heartbreaking feeling.

Don't say such a thing.

If you say something like that, it will cause me regret as well.

It makes me think that I was wrong.

It makes me regret

that I didn't follow up on what the Proprietress told me back then.

Ah.

This is for Hina.

You do the rest, Ken.

Ken.

You didn't do anything wrong, Ken.

I was the one who was in the wrong.

I

actually wanted to ask Hinoyama

this question.

"How do you see

"me?"

But

I ended up saying something different.

How do you see

Shijaku?

Ken,

you should be careful with what you say.

If you say the wrong thing,

you will be the one to suffer

and Arare will suffer as well.

You need to say

what you need to say.

Is it okay

that I...

I would be the only one doing such a thing.

Of course.

Nobody is going to blame you for that.

You're free, Ken.

Arare!

Wait!

Let go!

Stop it already!

Don't chase me like that.

If you chase me like that

I'm going to expect something from you again.

That maybe

you will have feelings for me.

That I might still have a chance.

I told you to forget about it.

I can't forget if you do this to me.

It's painful.

It's bitter.

You're so close

and yet, you don't spare me a glance.

I wish Hina weren't here.

I wish you weren't here.

I hate myself for thinking that way.

Arare.

Please.

I don't want you to see me like this.

I want to go back to who I was before.

To when

I didn't have any special feelings for you.

There's no way you can go back, stupid!

You don't have to go back.

You're the one I love.

But

I didn't know if I was qualified for that.

You're going to inherit Fukuyadou.

I have to take responsibility.

I can't just say it

because I feel like it.

I have to be someone worthy of taking charge of that store

to say such a thing in the first place.

That's why I want to support you.

I want to be by your side.

Even if I couldn't reciprocate your feelings,

I wanted to always support you.

Stop acting cool.

You're such a fool.

I know.

I've hurt you.

So much.

Forgive me.

Ever since I've known you,

you've been the one I've loved.

Arare...

NEXT EPISODE

I thought you hated Ken.

I love him.

Don't let the Proprietress know about us until we tell her.

She already knows.

I'm in pain, Hinoyama.

You ran away from Hina, didn't you?

I can't let you see Hina.

I wanted to be with someone I loved.

You love him, right?

Then you have to go after him.

THIS DRAMA IS A FICTION.

ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ACTUAL PEOPLE IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL. THANK YOU!
