Original subtitles

Break up with Takane. You two live in completely different worlds.

Amane. What on earth are you plotting?

He's seriously planning on destroying the temple.

Please break up with Takane.

I won't give up this temple or Junko-san.

I'm hopelessly in love with you so I don't want to break up.

I've decided to demolish the temple and build something new there.

Amane. What exactly are you thinking?

I'm going to destroy everything and take revenge on you.

-Are you sure about this, Sakuraba? -Yes.

I've made up my mind already.

Quitting like this all of a sudden is horrible of you.

-Don't cry like that... -Even though I finally...

-...made a real friend. -Isn't this too sudden?

But you really thought this through, right?

I guess this is what people call the power of love, huh?

The power of love?

It would be nice if I could experience that a little more too...

-What?

It's nothing. Nothing at all. But...

It's a little disappointing to think that with this...

...the Three Beauties of ELA will be no more. -What do you mean, Three Beauties?

Junko-sensei, Momoe-sensei and me.

In that case, include me too. Then we'll be ELA's Big Four.

Big Four? This isn't a yankee manga you know. (T/N: Yankee = delinquent)

Anyway, we're going to throw you an awesome farewell party.

-It's fine. I don't need something like that... -No way.

Since you're retiring to get married let's go all out.

Retiring to get married? More like the real test of my courage starts now.

What?

It's nothing. I'm talking to myself.

-Congratulation on your discharge! -Congratulations!

This floor cushion will be a huge help!

I'll use it straight away. Then this too! Take this too!

Congratulations on your return home!

Thanks Then maybe I'll take some too!

No, no, no!

-And here's a congratulatory gift for you two. -Gift?

We heard you're getting married pretty soon, so.

-Ah. -Congrats Junko!

-Thanks! -Invite us to the ceremony.

-Invite us! -Alright. Let's go back.

-Alright then. -Thanks.

-Then, take care of yourself. -See you later!

-Yeah. -Thanks everyone!

-Thanks a lot. -Now everyone, let's eat dinner!

I have something to announce to everyone.

-I quit my job, -Eh?

And so, I'm going to become the daughter-in-law of a temple.

You've finally accepted your fate, huh?

It's a one way street to marriage from now on, you know. Takane-kun. Hi-five!

You quit?

-Yeah -Why all of a sudden?

If I'm going to make Obaa-sama accept our marriage...

...now is not the time to be working. -I told you, you don't have to quit.

Is she against your marriage?

Better yet, how about you just elope?

-Elope? That sounds kinda dreamy. -We're talking about something serious right now, you know.

Okaa-san. What would a serious elopement be like?

That would be something like going to a mysterious town together...

...eating delicious food, buying souvenirs, and coming back right?

Hang on a second That's just wandering around!

-Kyaaa! -Please be quiet. Seriously.

I'll do something about Obaa-sama one way or another.

I'm the one she hates so I have to deal with her.

-She hates you that much? -Don't tell me...

It's because you saw her no-makeup face, right?

-Kyaaa! -So noisy! Quiet down!

-Quiet down! -Anyhow...

Please reconsider your retirement one more time.

-I've already made up my mind -But...

What? Do you want to marry me? Or not?

-I do want to marry you -Then it's settled

Now that's decided, let's eat!

Today I mixed chicken wings and radish

That sounds yummy!

-It's delicious! -Looks yummy.

??

-Otou-san -Yeah?

Are things really okay like this?

Ever since she was little once Junko set her mind on something...

-...she always saw it through to the end. -Is that so.

-She was like that with the New York thing too. -New York?

A long time ago, before Nene was born I watched a movie together with Junko

It was a movie about New York.

As soon as it finished, she suddenly started saying "I want to go to New York too!"

She's like a snapping turtle. Once she bites...

-...she doesn't let go. -A snapping turtle.

But still, even though she's abandoning a dream like that...

She's going to marry you so make her happy.

I will.

Takane-kun My back has been hurting for a while now.

Ah! ?

Who let you in?

I haven't let you off the hook just yet.

I asked the chief priest to let me in. Obaa-sama, please look at this.

Amane is seriously planning to destroy the temple.

You think I don't know that?

No matter what Amane does he will not become the chief priest.

That said...

I have no intention of making you the chief priest either.

Junko-san quit her job...

...and wants to become this temple's daughter-in-law.

Please accept our marriage.

No matter how hard you try I definitely won't accept it.

If you want to become the chief priest then marry Kaori-san.

And if you're going to marry Junko-san no matter what...

...I'll look for someone else to fill the role.

??

You went to the temple today, right?

-Yes. -What did Obaa-sama say?

It looks like she isn't going to budge any time soon.

I see.

Junko-san. Are you really going to retire?

I don't want to talk about that anymore. Say 'ah'!

Ah!

But Junko-san...

Tomorrow, let's go to the temple together.

-I'll go there on my own. -No way.

We're getting married so we have to overcome this together.

Junko-san.

Your slippers.

It's not like she's a demon...

I'm sure if we talk to her sincerely she'll understand.

Let's get her to definitely accept our marriage. Together.

Okay.

-Throw the salt. -Understood.

Eh? Eh? Wait!

-How could you? To Junko-san?! -Our apologies!

-Hey! Stop it! -Junko-san, let's go back!

We just want to talk to you!

Covering you in salt like that...I'm so sorry.

No, no, no...um...

I'll just think of it like Setsubun. (T/N: Setsubun = Japanese bean throwing festival to cleanse evil spirits)

-You two are trying hard too, huh? -Amane

You've got your special sad face on, huh bro?

After bragging about taking both Junko-san and the temple...

-This is the result? -Hey you...

That's your attitude towards your own brother?

Someone like you who's lived a carefree life wouldn't get it, right?

I will never let you have this temple.

I'm not so sure about that.

I wonder how far your selfishness will go?

Ah.

I'm getting a call about a very important meeting. See ya.

-Hello? -Um...

-Would you happen to know Obaa-sama's schedule for tomorrow?

-We just need to speak to you. Please -Please.

-Please. -Get those worn out hands away from me.

Wait. Please, Obaa-sama.

Please.

She's coming here for two more days, right?

-Junko-san. That's enough. -I'm definitely not giving up.

I'm kinda fired up all of a sudden.

[The next day]

Would you like some anpan? (T/N: Anpan = Sweet bread filled with red bean)

What? Why anpan?

Since we're on a stakeout, I brought some anpan.

I brought milk as well, of course. -I'm fine.

-Thanks. -Then, how about your favourite rice ball?

Maybe later.

-Do you need anything else? -In that case...

Something has been in my eye for a while now You wouldn't have something like a Q-tip, right?

-Here. -Oh!

Ah. Thank you. Then, um...

-Do you have a charger? Guess not. -Here you go.

Eh? Ah. Thanks.

-Eh? -Everything from games for when you want to kill some time...

...to a mat when you feel like rolling around is also available.

Is your sleeve a 4D pocket? (T/N: Doraemon reference. Doraemon can pull anything out of his 4D pocket/pouch)

-A kaleidoscope. -I don't need that!

I'm sorry that you're going through a hard time because of me.

-Stop that. -Eh?

-Eh? -Stop thinking like that right now.

The car's here!

-Sorry. We just want to talk... -Excuse us!

Please. Obaa-sama

Please. Obaa-sama, we just want to talk to you.

-Please -Please listen to what we have to say, Obaa-sama

-Pl-please... -Junko-san

There's still tomorrow.

[The next day]

-What are you looking at? -You.

Why? Hey. Keep an eye on the entrance.

-No. -Eh? W-watch the entrance!

Why? Jeez. Over there! Okay?

It's cold. Ah. Do you also have a pocket heater?

Yes.

Lint roller. Candy. Raincoat. Flashlight.

-Dried potatoes. -That's not it.

Hm? Huh? I'll go buy one.

-It's fine, its fine. -I'll go buy one.

It's fine, it's fine, you don't need to...

Eh? Ah!

Thanks.

-Junko-san -Yeah?

It'll be bad if you catch a cold after all.

-Car! -Eh? Ah.

We just want to talk to you!

Obaa-sama. Please accept our marriage.

-I refuse. -Please!

-At the very least, please talk to us. -That isn't necessary.

Please, Obaa-sama Listen to what we have to say!

Please! Please let me marry Hoshikawa-san!

-Please! -Junko-san, please stop.

-I quit my job! -So I can become the temple's daughter-in-law...

...I'll do whatever it takes. Please take care of me!

-Junko-san. That's enough. -Please!

-Junko-san. -Please!

Raise your head.

??

-Then, the next job is shopping. -If it's shopping, I'll do it

No. You and I have to attend to the parishioners.

It's fine. Leave it to me.

-I'm leaving! -Have a safe trip!

I'm back!

-Would you like a hand? -It's fine. This is my job, so it's fine.

The colour is right but this is for summer.

-Ah? Is that so? -Same with this one.

Ah.

You want to become this temple's daughter-in-law yet you don't know a thing about fabrics.

Your head is only filled with English vocabulary, isn't it?

I'm sorry.

-Return all of this. -All of it.

-I'll be back. -Have a safe trip!

It's fine! This is my job!

I'm back. Ah! That's dangerous!

Next, clean the garden.

Okay.

That was tough. Pretty tough.

I can't tolerate this.

Making you clean the main temple early in the morning Then the graves and the entrance

On top of that, making you prepare all three meals... She using you as a maid.

She's even making you reheat the bathwater at night.

If things are going to be like this, let's seriously elope.

Pardon?

If you stay here like this your smile will fade.

I'm marrying you because I want to make you happy.

If it's to the point that someone precious to me is being tormented...I...

Hoshikawa-san. You can't do that.

I want you to become the chief priest.

So please don't say things like that anymore.

Junko-san.

Okay?

-Oh? -Wah! Eh?

-Ah. -Don't mind me.

-Go right ahead. -Alright then.

-I'm not doing it. -Right?

-Yeah -Takane-sama. I'm disappointed.

-It's time for children to sleep. -Don't treat me like a child!

Excuse me.

Wow. This looks pretty good, don't you think?

You can also preserve the main hall, though.

Ah. That's not necessary. Please destroy everything.

Um...why am I here?

Sorry about calling you here so suddenly.

Now, Miss Momoe...

Let's properly convey your feelings to Mr Mishima.

Arthur-sensei...

I really want to set things straight.

-I'm totally lost right now. -What did you want to talk about?

Mr. Mishima...Miss Momoe likes y-

I have no feelings for Mishima-san.

-Eh? -But...

-You're always watching him with a heated gaze -No I haven't.

-Yes you have. -Eh? That's...

...not towards Mishima-san though...

If it's not Mr Mishima, then who?

-That... -Please make it clear.

Jeez.

He just looks like a character from my favourite manga.

Character?

That's right. Kisaragi-senpai.

I mean, that character's name is Kisaragi-senpai but...

He's the 'seme' of all 'seme's. Without a doubt, a character that should be called...

...Super seme-sama. The kuudere god.

By the way, 'kuudere' means that even though he's normally cool...

...when we're together he becomes caring...

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Take it easy Take it easy

-Sorry guys. -Ouch!

Ah! Ah! Ah! Um...

Mishima-san I'm really sorry.

-Ah. -Um...

-Why do I get the feeling I've been dumped? -Mr Mishima

I'll treat you, since we're in the same boat now.

Excuse me. 5 shots!

Ow, ow, ow...

-Good work today. -Ah! Good work...

That scared me.

You don't have to help Obaa-sama today.

But...

-She's going to be attending to parishioners the whole day with me. -Really?

It's been a while since I've seen that smile.

Th-that's not true...

Then take it easy today.

Okay.

Oh yeah! That reminds me!

Hello? Momoe-sensei? What's with that attitude?

I was thinking of visiting ELA today.

Junko-san believes that she can eventually make you accept her...

...so she's trying her absolute best to the point of exhaustion every day.

Why are treating someone like her like this?

If you stay with her you'll fall into misery.

Even though I've only been gone for a week, this feels so nostalgic.

Junko-chan!

-Hm? It's Yuki-chan! -It was lonely without you here.

Yo.

Hachiya-kun!

Masako. It's Junko-chan (T/N He called Masako by her first name which is very intimate)

Ah! It's been a while!

Weren't you in the middle of paid leave? What's up?

Nothing much. Rather, Hachiya-kun is already calling you by your first name. Are you dating him?

-Ah. Hey. -Junko-sensei! Sensei!

Ah! It's been a while Have you been well?

Wah! Everyone!

-Junko-chan! -Wah! Junko-chan

??

??

Great answer, that's right!

-Junko-sensei! -Alright...Yuki-chan!

Yes?

Yo.

-Got a moment? -Yes

You didn't want to come back?

-No -That sure was a big welcome

-There's a vacancy for one person, you know. -Did someone quit?

Yeah. Me.

I have to go back to New York for an emergency.

It didn't last long...

But I was really glad to be back here.

I got to see you as a lecturer too.

-Kiyomiya-san -Yeah?

Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart.

Me too. Really. Thank you.

I'm worried about you because you work too hard, Sakuraba.

Whenever you feel like crying, call me

I'll fly over from New York straight away.

-But it'll take me a day to get here though. -Alright.

-Bye. -Okay.

??

Yes?

-Miss Junko -Arthur-sensei

I...

I actually have something...

...I have to tell you.

What is it?

-It's about Makoto. -Yes?

He told me to never say a word about it to you...

But I can't stay quiet anymore.

You saw that photo at Makoto's house right?

That woman was Makoto's wife who he married five years ago.

But soon after they married, she passed away.

Even after she passed away...

He couldn't move on at all.

The reason he didn't respond to your Christmas card too..

...was because he still hadn't sorted out his feelings yet.

But after he met you again...

Makoto was able to laugh again from the bottom of his heart.

I'm sorry for saying something like this to a woman who's getting married...

But as Makoto's friend...

I can't stand you continuing to misunderstand him even after you two are separated for good.

-Junko-san! -Yes!

Exactly what kind of work made you return at a time like this?!

Ah. My apologies.

Ah. It's almost dinner time. I'll get it ready straight away...

Kaori-san already prepared dinner.

Eh? Eh? But it's not time yet...

Obaa-sama. What are you doing to Junko-san?

I'm warning her...

...about getting too absorbed in playing around without even preparing dinner.

You were the you pushed dinner to an earlier time all of a sudden, though?

It's fine.

I'm very sorry.

-Obaa- -It's okay. It's okay.

-Hello? -What happened all of a sudden?

I was just wondering if everyone was doing okay.

-Junko. Today we're having sukiyaki. -Yeah!

-Right? -The meat is super tasty, right?

That sound's great. Sukiyaki, huh?

There you go again. There's some pretty good food at temples, right?

There's only vegetarian food at temples.

-That sounds good for your body. -Healthy food is tasty too.

So how is it? Do you think you can become a temple's daughter-in-law?

Yeah. It's going fine. I'm unexpectedly good at it.

-As expected of my sister! -As expected of my daughter! Right?

As expected of my daughter, right? Eat, eat!

It's tasty. Honestly, thank you.

Yeah, thanks a lot. Really.

??

-Eh? You're leaving already? You should stay a little longer...

No, no. Thank you for the meal.

I enjoyed listening to all your stories about Junko-san.

Then I'll take my leave.

-Thank you. -Thank you for the meal.

Thank you very much for the meat.

Thank you. We appreciate it. Bye.

So cold!

??

Would you like to taste?

-It's fine. -Then, maybe some other time.

"Some other time?" You think I would eat...

...the food you made? You sure are an optimistic person.

That's my only strong point.

I told you that if you're going to become this temple's daughter-in-law you're going to have to make a huge effort, right?

-Yes. -There are people in this world...

...who no matter how hard they try are absolutely hopeless, you know.

Since we live in a different world to you.

Obaa-sama Please stop that immediately.

Exactly what kind of grudge are you holding against Junko-san?

-I don't have a grudge against her. -Then why?

I simply hate her.

No matter what she does, my feelings won't change.

I hate you.

??

Junko-san. Are you okay?

I'm fine. Sorry. I'm just a little tired.

Junko-san. You don't have to push yourself this hard.

That was very rude of her...

??

??

??

??

I will conduct the meeting with all the parishioners.

Takane. You will be in charge of the sutra chanting.

Does that mean you are acccepting Takane...

...as the next chief priest? -You're too hasty.

If he can do his job without any issues and marries Kaori-san, then I'll think about it.

-Excuse me. -Junko-san

I want to help at that meeting too...

Please let me help.

-Junko-san. You're weren't sleeping? -This is your big moment, isn't it?

Please let me help.

If you're going as far as asking...

Hmph. Then I'll let you help.

-Obaa-sama! -Thank you.

Junko-san Please don't overdo it.

Letting you help so readily like that...

There's no doubt Obaa-sama has something up her sleeve.

-Your face still looks pale as well. -You worry too much.

-But... -I'll be fine. Alright?

??

-A kimono? Yeah, I have one. -Really? Thank goodness.

It's my mother's so if you'd like...

I have the sandals and obi as well as a set. It's a little old though.

It's a good kimono so it'll definitely be okay.

Sorry, but could you bring it over?

-Dad! -Yeah?

-You forgot the kimono! Jeez! Oh yeah!

My bad, my bad! Alright. Let's hurry!

Junko's waiting for us!

Please take care of me from now on.

Thank you for all your help as always.

-Junko-sama is ready -She's late!

I'm sorry I'm late!

Oh my. What an old-fashioned kimono. And it's been put on so sloppily.

After today's meeting, you will see precisely why...

...you are not suited to be the daughter-in-law of this temple.

-Come on, Junko-san! -I'm sorry.

-Young lady. -Yes?

What is this dish called?

Those are boiled tofu skin money bags.

Please have them with some grated red leaves.

Thanks, Kaori-san.

To think you don't even know the food you're handing out.

-You sure were raised well. -I'm sorry

??

My apologies! My apologies!

-What are you doing! You! -I'm very sorry!

-Don't touch me! -Eh? I'm sorry.

-What a disaster! -My apologies!

-My apologies. -Oku-sama. We need to remove that stain immediately.

-Excuse me -This way, please.

We have to quickly remove that stain.

Are you alright?

I'm very sorry! My apologies!

I'm very sorry you had to witness such embarassment.

-My apologies. -Please.

My deepest apologies.

??

??

It's okay now Hoshikawa-san

You have to get back soon.

You still have to do the sutra chanting right? That's important.

There is nothing in this world that is more important to me than you.

I don't want to become a burden to you.

You think you're a burden to me? You were the one who taught me...

What it feels like to love someone.

How important it is to treat your family...

...and the people around you with kindness.

The happiness you get from living with the person you love too.

That's why I...

??

I think I deserve a little gratitude.

Thanks to me, the sutra chanting went smoothly right?

All the parishioners have settled on me as the next chief priest too.

After hearing your sutra chanting I've become even more convinced.

You don't possess the ability to become the next chief priest.

Go back into training again.

??

What should we put in Junko-sensei's farewell speech?

I probably won't be able to hear anything over the sound of my own crying.

You're already crying a little.

What I said wasn't a pickup line.

I really do love you.

Why is my heart beating so fast? What's happening?

This throbbing that I've only ever felt in 2D? No way!

Could this be love?

Is this love!?

Miss Momoe.

Calm down.

She's kind of flying.

When should we hold the farewell party?

I'll call Sakuraba and find out.

-Okay. Please take care of it. -Alright.

-Was the kimono okay? -Yeah. You saved me. Thanks.

-It was cute, wasn't it? -Yeah. Everyone complimented me.

-It was cute...cute... -Hm?

Hello? Junko?

-Sorry. Someone else is trying to call me. -Alright. I'll call you later.

Bye.

-Hello? -Sakuraba. Is now a good time?

Yes. It's fine.

You don't sound like you're fine.

-Not at all. -Did something happen?

Ah. No, I was just wondering when would be a good time to hold your farewell party.

Ah. Jeez. I don't need a party. It's fine.

We can't do that.

We're losing a precious team member Let us send you off properly.

Thank you.

??

Sakuraba.

??

You're perfect the way you are.

Okay.

-See you later then -Okay.

??

??

I quit my job. I'm going to become the daughter-in-law of a temple.

Please let me marry Hoshikawa-san.

Please I'll do whatever it takes...

...to become this temple's daughter-in-law.

My apologies! I'm so sorry!

I don't want to become a burden to you.

Thank you for such a wonderful going away party.

Meeting so many people that I can call friends

My time with you, my days at ELA have become an inevitable part of my life.

My dream was to work in New York

Although that dream might not have fully come true

Every day I worked here felt like a day in New York

So, half of my dream did come true. Thanks to ELA.

If I hadn't worked here, none of this would have been possible

It's hard to say goodbye to such an important place

But...but...

I don't regret my decision.

Today...I'm happy.

More than I could ask for...

Junko-san. I'm coming in.

Okay.

Today was tiring, right?

Go rest in your own home at ease.

-But... -I'll drop you off.

Eh?

Something terrible has happened! Takane-sama!

-What's wrong? -Something terrible has happened.

Eh?

Let's destroy this whole area and start building with a boom, shall we?

Understood. ow everyone, let's begin.

Okay!

Please wait! Please wait!

Please leave.

-Amane. -You're all so naive.

I heard you're a regular at the Sakuraba house.

You wanted a new family? Because of you...

...Junko-san gave up her dream. She left everything.

Must be nice. Inheriting the temple, fulfilling your dream...

...and getting the woman you want too. But what about Junko-san?

You want the temple and the girl.

Haven't you realized that kind of selfishness...

...has destroyed Junko-san's life?

It's the same with me!

That old hag doted on you only...

...and abandoned me in the Kyoto temple.

She didn't abandon you!

Then, did anyone come to visit me even once?

You abandoned your own brother. Family? What family?

I've spent my entire life alone.

Without anyone to depend on. Always alone.

All of you destroyed my life.

It all started because of this temple.

That's why I'm going to destroy this place.

-Please begin. -Alright.

-Let's continue. -Okay!

Wait Please wait!

-Please wait! -Please wait...

??

??

??

??

Hoshikawa-san

Hey, isn't this the first time?

Making plans and actually meeting up.

This kind of feels like a date.

Oh yeah. Look at this. I wore the shoes you gave me.

You're hungry right? I made lunch.

Want some?

-Hoshikawa-san? -Junko-san.

I'm deeply disappointed in you.

You aren't suited to be our temple's daughter-in-law.

No matter how hard you try you can't become my wife.

I guess the worlds we live in are too different after all.

I've finally come to my senses.

I...

I've come to hate you.

-You're lying right? -I hate lies.

I will marry Kaori-san very soon.

Crying, begging for compassion and everything else... It's unsightly.

Do you honestly think you can move someone's heart like that?

I hate you.

I guess we'll never see eachother again.

Sakuraba?

What's wrong?
