Date?

Is there anywhere you want to go?

It seems like he's doing everything just to make you happy.

I want to spend this Christmas with you, Sakuraba.

I've decided I'm taking you to NY with me.

Onee-chan won't be able to come.

I'll wait a little more.

I don't want to find out the truth.

I don't want to get hurt.

I was scared so I ran away.

Why are you still here?

I love you.

Junko-san

Do you love me?

Let's go home.

I'll wait,

Until...

You are able to love me truly.

I'm sorry.

Yes. I bought it two years ago at a temple festival.

That's right, otou-san...

It really was a nusiance, wasn't it? That's right, otou-san...

It really was a nusiance, wasn't it?

That's true. Well, it couldn't be helped. It really was a nusiance, wasn't it?

That's true. Well, it couldn't be helped.

Good morning.

You're awake!

Are you going to sleep forever? You're awake!

Are you going to sleep forever?

-Good morning. -Good morning. Are you going to sleep forever?

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Oh, Takane-kun. I even asked you to come early. Sorry, sorry.

Onee-chan, sit here.

-OK. -Come here.

Ah, sorry.

Actually, I want to choose the date properly.

Let's do it quietly around the weekend and keep it family-only.

I already sent Dad's funeral clothes to the dry cleaners.

Eh? Right now you're: "Gosh, plans about a wedding again?!"

-"I won't do it." -"Don't involve my family anymore!"

That's what you thought, right?

No, you're wrong~

The correct answer? Otou-san, tell them.

Yes, the correct one is--

A memorial service for obaa-chan (grandma).

-Service? -Yes. 17th death anniversary.

We will hold it here. Then let's eat breakfast~

Memorial service again?!

-Are you okay? -I'm fine.

Please take care of me.

Everyone, let's eat~

-A wedding ceremony here? -Yes!

Since this is where Alex and Brittany met.

-Since when did you two start dating? -Beats me.

-Congratulations, you two! - Thank you, Junko.

I'm here to help, so don't hold back, okay?

Ms. Junko, can you host the wedding?

-I won't be able to do such big part-- -No, no.

You're a beautiful woman. You bloom like a flower. There's nothing else but you.

-What's going on? -Right, Ms. Momoe?

I agree.

-Then, I'll do my best. -That's great!

You're partner is decided. It's Makoto.

-Partner? -Here~

Let's do this.

Yes, looking forward to.

So Takane will lead the memorial service for the Sakuraba family?

I think Takane needs to experience various services in order to become a respectable priest.

Also, the Sakuraba family are are parishioners at our temple too.

Well, that...

Then shouldn't we do it?

Are you really OK with this?

Takane, serve them properly.

Thank you.

Then, the reception staff will be in charge of guiding the visitors on that day.

-Okay. -Okay.

How about the other teachers?

Ms. Momoe and I will make a video on how they met.

That would be good.

Let's make it a production that moves people, Ms. Momoe.

If you don't like it, it's fine...

It's not like I hate it.

Then, it's final.

Well, Kelly and the others will take care of the bride and groom.

-OK. -Got it.

Let's ask the saloon staff to take care of the food. Will that be okay, Sakuraba?

-Yes, I think that's a great idea. -Then...

We'll discuss about the ceremony next time. For now, let's get back to work.

OK.

Sakuraba

How about we grab a meal together after work?

Today's a little...

I'm a little busy. I'll have to email out all the progress charts. So please check them over.

I understand.

Ah! Oh, go ahead.

The wedding's gonna be fun, don't you agree?

You're forcing yourself, it's written all over your face.

Come on, there's no such thing as embarrassment in our relationship. Tell me about it, whatever it is.

Did I do something wrong?

Nothing comes to mind?

None.

Affair?! Really?

I accidentally saw his wedding picture.

Then his wife?

Must be in New York.

Have you made sure?

I can't.

I mean if he says it's true, I won't be able to recover.

And because I look up to him as well.

I don't want to hate him.

I see, so that's how it is.

I'm sorry. If I have an experience in love, I would have given you a good advice...

But I only know BL (boys love).

By the way, what will happen next if this were a BL installment?

In BL, marriage is definitely an obstacle.

Although there are some stories that manage it. Ah. The other day I read one that really made me cry. There was a married man that you would think was an 'uke' (submissive) but he was actually just a withdrawn 'seme' (aggressive). It's sooo over the top!

Oh, I see. Thank you. Thank you, Momoe-sensei.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Yes, I'm back home.

-Hmm? Where's everyone? -Okaa-sama and Nene-san went shopping.

Otou-sama has not returned yet.

Is that so.

Junko-san

I'm truly sorry.

I deeply regret my attitude and actions that night.

Same here. I'm really sorry.

-I was the one who took you to a hotel in the first place-- -Oh my!

Ah, sorry!

I just had an early shift. I won't tell anyone the things you said just now.

-No, otou-san, you're mistaken! -It's okay.

-I'll take it to my grave. -No, you're misunderstanding something...

Sit, you two. Sit.

Don't worry. Because I really won't tell anyone.

-We're home! -It's all fine.

-The daikon radish was so cheap It's a good thing we went today. -Ah, it's heavy. Heavy.

Ah this is bad! I can't keep it any longer!

-Oka-san, this two-- -Ah, otou-san!!! -Otou-san!

-Ho-hote-- -Otou-san!

-Ho-- -Otou-san!

-Junko, let's eat! - OK, OK.

-What's this? -You can't remember?

-We took it with your Sachie-obaachan (grandma). -Eh, this is you, onee-chan?

-Okaa-san, what's for dinner? -Your favorite~

Ah, look! Look! She's singing ABC! She couldn't sing past this bit.

-H, I, J, K, M, M, M. -H, I, J, K, M, M, M. All of them are M!

Why are we watching this?

I would like to know more about Sachie-san's personality for the memorial service.

She didn't like taking photos so we barely have any.

-Instead, we have these. -Yes, that's right.

When we won the local lottery, we got this camera and took a lot of footage.

The school entrance ceremony!

I think this might be the first time I saw obaa-chan's face properly.

She passed away shortly after Nene was born.

-That's so near! So near! -She wouldn't laugh at anything.

She was always a little grumpy too.

So this is obaa-chan.

I'm sorry, Takane-kun. You probably don't find all this talk very interesting.

No, please tell me some more.

Talking about these things is what makes a memorial service. More than anything else.

-Hey, what's up? You just said something a monk would say. -What? He's a monk!

-Ah, really? -Then, let's eat~!

-Oden! -Otou-san, it's konyaku and eggs.

Oh, so it's oden. Isn't it hot?

That's what makes it special.

-Ah! You scared me! What are you filming?! -Ah sorry. I was too focused on your face.

Can you please stop that?

From now on, I'll be the one detailing your growth record, Junko-san.

What?! Stop it! That's not needed!

You guys are so fast!

-We haven't taken one together in a while. Junko, Junko! -Yes, yes. Let's take one!

-Say cheese! -It's not working.

-Ah yes, It's pretty old. -Is that so?

Tada~!

-So pretty! - I told ya!

Are you okay?

-Looks like Tanimura-san can't make it. -Ah, that.

-How's this? -That's cute! As expected of you, Hiromi-san!

Everyone, I'm sorry for calling you all before work.

This is our only way to support Alex and Brittany.

-Let's hold the best ceremony ever! -Yes, let's do this! We can do it!

By the way, I'm super curious about what the filming is all about...

-Oww, oww! Ouch! -Ah, I'm sorry.

Wait, Hoshikawa-san. You're acting like a peeping tom.

So near! You're so near! Hang on.

I can proudly take this video because I've obtained permission from your parents to do so.

-Leave me alone. Everyone, let's do our best! -Wait, wait, Junko-chan. Come here.

OK.

-You think this is too sweet? -It's cute~!

-Really? -Yes, it's sooo cute!

Mishima-san!

I received this wine from our top customer, and I'm thinking this can be used for the wedding.

-Your glasses? -Ah, yeah. I just wanted to change things up a little.

-Sakuraba! -Yes!

What is it?

We're responding to a customer complaint by email.

What would you write in the subject line?

-"Concerning your request" -Sounds good.

-Hold up. Mr. Hoshikawa. -Don't mind me.

I do mind. Can you please stop?

Just recording here.

Alright. Give me the camera.

Let go, will you?

-You're so cute together! Right? -Nice. Nice.

Will you?

-Very nice. Very nice. -What?! Wait!

-Good job. -You too.

-Hey, does this look good? -Oh you did it in blue! Very nice!

-Really? -Yes.

Sakuraba

-Do you have a sec? -If you want to talk, here's fine.

-That day, you saw the pictures. -Let's not have this conversation.

I wanted to clear it with you.

Ah. I've already sent out all the progress tables at once.

-Sakuraba. -Thank you.

-Ah, hi. -Hey.

I see.

I wanted to talk to her properly.

You're getting into peeping tom territory, Hoshikawa-san. Be careful.

-Junko-chan! -There's that too.

-It's done~! -It's done~!

Congratulations! And thanks for the help!

Junko-sensei! Junko-sensei!

OK. Got it.

Eh?

So I'm asking you this favor, Ms. Momoe.

Hey, look look look! Tada~! Isn't it great?

Uhm, you still have some things to do.

Ah, how comforting~

-Uhm, I just overheard. About Kiyomiya-san... -Huh?

-Uhm.. -What is it?

Uhh...

Ah! It's useless. I can't say it. I'll just compare it with BL.

In other words, when Lucifer-sama was wandering in a dark labyrinth, Michael is going to be sealed away in an eternal shrine.

-And then-- -Eh, w-w-wait. Wait. I can't understand anything.

Ah, this is hard!

-Simply put, Kiyomiya-san's... -Eh?

Ah! I've heard it all~

What a coincidence!

You two, relax.

-Why the public bath? -It's the Japanese way of bare-it-all getting along.

As a mutual friend, I cannot stand to watch you two anymore.

How about both of you vent your thoughts to each other?

-It's not like there's anything to talk about. -Mr. Hoshikawa?

Me too. Nothing special.

-Do you come here often? -Yes.

The owner is a friend of mine.

You have amazing connections.

Say something. I've got a lot on my plate. Help me out.

Masako-chan, you're really popular.

That's not true.

This year has been like crop failure.

If Masako-chan is experiencing crop failure where does that leave me?

-A wasted land? - But you had a good thing going on with Mishima. What happened there?

Hmm? But I guess I had to end our relationship.

I'm acting little weird too.

I mean, I think I really liked him.

Although it's too late now.

I see.

By the way, you're the last person I want to talk to about this

-Hmm? -I'm just talking to myself.

Come on... Let's leave, you two.

Please, you first.

No, you go first.

What about you Junko-sensei? How are things with the monk?

-Hoshikawa-san... -It's fine either way, isn't it?

I have someone who likes me too. I wonder if I should try things with him.

-But he's so young. -How old is he?

Still in his teens.

-I'm pretty sure that's illegal. -Right?

-Ah, Masako-chan! -Hey, are you going out with Arthur-sensei?

-What? -You definitely are, right?

-No we're just co-workers -Ehhh..

He's giving off really strong vibes though. It's obvious he likes you. Right, Junko-sensei?

I have to agree.

I GIVE UP!

Somehow, you came back here as if it was the obvious thing to do.

I have more preparations to do before the memorial. That aside, I might have overdone it a little.

You're not a kid anymore you know.

My dignity as a man was at stake.

Excuse me Here I go.

I won the bath battle.

-Huh? Eh What did you say? -I won the bath battle.

-Onee-chan-- -Eh?

-Okaa-san! With Takane, onee-chan is-- -You're mistaken! Nene!

I won the bath battle.

-That day, you saw the pictures. -Let's not have this conversation.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Delicious!

French or Italian food would've been good though.

But I want to eat this.

I came all this way because you got in touch All just for ramen.

The atmosphere is totally ruined.

Kids don't need to live in luxury.

Ah, your hat.

Say 'itadakimasu'.

Itadakimasu (thank you for the food).

Let's eat.

Delicious!

Hoshikawa-san

-Sorry. Did I wake you? -Are you feeling okay now?

Thanks to you.

-What's this? -Sorry for doing this kind of thing on my own.

I wanted to know more about Sachie-san before the memorial service.

You watch this a lot.

-It's hard to find families that are this cheery. -That's why I'm happy.

I already consider everyone my family.

I said before, I want to like the loved ones of the person I love more.

No matter how old you are, the fact that I want to see you doesn't change.

What's with that?

She really wasn't the type to laugh. Sachie-san.

You're like that too.

I've never seen you laugh.

I smile more when I'm with you.

-Really? -Yes.

I'll change the tape.

Don't tell me you intend to watch all of these?

I want to burn in my memory the kind of life you've lived.

I guess it can't be helped I'll join you.

-What's that? -I'll make it easier to see.

Wai-- Wait, Hoshikawa-san. What's the matter?

-Hey, come on. -"Junko-chan..."

-"What do you want to ask Santa for this year?" -"A baby brother or sister."

-"Hey. No way..." -What's with this video. How embarrassing. -"Then, Dad will do his best!"

"No, I really don't want to!"

-Your parents... -My parents passed away when I was about his age.

Your grandma isn't laughing here.

When Nene was born, she looked like a monkey.

No. I think she's really cute.

Thank you. It became really clean, didn't it?

Thank you for coming all the way here.

It's because this time, I can't do the sutra reading.

But to think it's already been 16 years. How time flies.

It really went by in the blink of an eye.

Do you remember? The time when we drank together till the morning.

When we had a terrible hangover the next morning, Sachie-san made us some miso soup.

-It was delicious. -It sure was.

You knew each other from that long ago?

-That's because we were friends even before you were born Junko. -I had no idea.

Takane is working really hard for this memorial service.

Ah. Today he even cleaned the Sakuraba tomb.

-He shouldn't have... -Not at all.

That's the kind of guy he is.

Please take care of Takane from now on.

-Junko, tea. -Yes yes!

Raise your heads.

As I expected, my eyes haven't deceived me.

Takane has honestly become happier since he got to know you, Junko-san.

-No, not at all. -Ever since he met Junko-san, he's changed.

I'm honestly very happy.

-I'm humbled. -You're different from all the girls he dated.

-Eh? -Eh?

E-Eh? Hoshikawa-san's dated other girls?

Of course, it's Takane-kun after all. I'm sure he's had one or two girlfriends.

That can't be. I mean, he doesn't look experienced at all.

That's not the case. He was quite popular in college.

Haru-chan from his freshman year was mature and modest.

Natsu-chan in his sophomore year was the lively type. She loved the sea.

Then, Aki-chan from his third year... She was a passionate and sexy kind of girl.

If he had dated Fuyu-chan he would have gone through all the seasons! (T/N: The joke is that all his ex-girlfriends are named after seasons)

But instead, in fourth year he dated an Angela something or other.

-Angela!? -Angela!?

-Winter never came. -It never came.

-What a shame. -Indeed.

How would you apologize to someone for your thoughtless action?

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 shameful for my actions, and I sincerely apologize for being so inconsiderate.

Alright. That's the end of class. Goodbye.

What are you getting so angry for?

You're different from all the girls he dated.

He was quite popular in college. Angela!

Angry? How am I angry?

-Even saying that means your angry. -I'm not angry.

Now that lessons are over, please go home quickly

-Sakuraba -Yeah?

Aren't your actions contradicting your words?

What do you mean?

You said you weren't going to see that monk anymore.

It can't be helped. We've got memorial preparations going on.

-Anyhow, this doesn't concern you. -It does. As a friend.

-Wouldn't it better to worry about yourself instead of others? -Eh?

-Have you talked things out with Masako-chan yet? -Nothing happened between me and her.

Good job today.

Mishima-san!

Ah, sorry...

My bad. Sorry. Good job today.

Mishima-san!

-Masako-chan. I'm really sorry. -I liked you.

I... I really liked you.

Ah, sorry. I just wanted to say it out loud for once.

But I don't want to pretend that I never liked you.

I see.

Thank you, Masako-chan.

I feel relieved now.

Oh my! He's an obedient 'seme'!

I just finished the wedding video.

-Let's watch it. -OK!

What? It's finished?

-Give it up already! -Okay, okay.

-Good work today. -We're leaving first.

-Sakuraba -What?

This is yours, isn't it?

I have something I need to tell you.

2 years before I met you, I...

Good work today.

Hoshikawa-san, let's go home.

Uhm, up to here is fine.

-I'll drop you off at your house. -It's fine.

I'll leave the memorial tomorrow in your hands.

Then, if you'll excuse me.

-Junko! -Ah, ah...what's wrong Aki-chan?

What's up? What's wrong?

-Ah, Junko-chan. -Yes?

-Here. -Tomorrow is your grandma's 17th death anniversary right?

You've got to tell us things like this!

-How did you find out? -Takane-kun told us.

He asked us a lot of questions about your obaa-chan.

It made me nostalgic. Talking about her made me want to cry.

Thank you.

Takane-sama.

Why can't it be me?

I'm sorry.

I have preparations to do.

Why are you going this far for such a small memorial?

Each and every memorial is important, no matter how small.

-Where are my funeral clothes? -Eh?

Ah, okaa-san. Where are my funeral clothes?

-They're still at the dry cleaners. -Change your clothes quickly, otou-san.

-Even if you don't tell me-- -Ah, he's here!

Yes, I'm coming!

Ah. Good morning!

Okaa-san! Onii-san is ready.

Takane-kun looks cooler than usual.

It's the feeling you get when you see a man at work.

-Okaa-san -Yes?

Does this look weird? Ah, Takane-kun.

We're in your hands.

Take off your hat, Dad. The hat, hat.

We shall now begin the memorial for Sachie Sakurba's 17th death anniversary.

Before I start chanting, I would like to say a few words.

This flower is Sachie-san's favourite, the Cosmos flower.

In the language of flowers, it means 'affection'.

It's a flower full of love, just like Sachie-san.

Isn't it a little too soon to cry? Okaa-san?

That's because I suddenly started reminiscing.

When I got married she gave me Cosmos flowers.

I learned about Sachie-san from many different people.

But the one that almost everyone said...

...was that they had never seen Sachie-san laugh.

-As I thought. -But in her own way,

Sachie-san was always laughing.

There were moments she left behind where she really was laughing.

-Eh? -It's true.

I saw that when I watched all those videos.

The Sachie-san who hated having photos or videos taken of herself,

filmed many videos of everyone else, didn't she?

In those moments when everyone was laughing happily,

She always let out a little laugh.

Sachie-san's laugh.

Congratulations, Junko!

When everyone was together at home...

-This is the Sakuraba taxi. -Junko-chan's good at this!

When Junko-san was cradling Nene-san who had just been born...

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

Obaa-chan was a kind person, wasn't she?

How I wish I could've met her.

Mother...

Sachie-san was always laughing.

She...

She always laughed at the sight of everyone's happiness.

Losing someone that is important to you,

is a painful and sad experience. However...

By offering a flower tribute every now and then,

...you can appreciate the fact that you are still alive.

That is what makes a memorial above anything else.

You're saying something a monk would say again.

That's because he is a monk!

-Junko-chan -Oh! Yuki-chan!

-Onee-chan! -Nene, why are you here?

-I brought Nene-chan along with me. -Ah. Do you have something you need help with?

Then could you help Yuki-chan out?

-Got it! -Let's go then.

See you later!

Yo!

Let's talk when this is over.

Ah, sorry.

-That hairstyle. That suit. Oh no. -Eh?

Sorry.

Hey, hey, hey Momoe-sensei! Look, look!

It's done! Hey!

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.

Know how this beautiful couple came to be.

-What's wrong? -The worst has happened!

-Eh? -Oh my god!

Hey! Come on. Close!

-Stay! -Wait.

Eh? What?

What should we do? Ah! That scared me.

-Is it opening and closing? -Yeah. It's opening and closing.

You can use this if you like.

-But that... -I think this will do the job.

Opening and closing.

Everyone, allow we to drag your attention to the screen again.

Enjoy.

Everyone, I'm sorry for calling you all before work.

This is our only way to support Alex and Brittany.

-Let's hold the best ceremony ever. -Let's do it. Let's do our best.

Hey, stop! Why are you two fighting?

You got a lot done. Alright, I'll pass it over.

-I'll leave it you. -Help out too, Hoshikawa-san!

Yay! That's great!

Hoshikawa-san brought us treats!

Thank you, Hoshikawa-san!

Congratulations, Brie!

Congratulations, Alex!

If I film you and your surroundings, there are always many people around you.

This has become my treasure.

3, 2, 1!

Congratulations~ Congratulations~

Thanks!

-Wow! Congrats! -I did it!

Yuki-chan!

-Nene? -We're taking a photo. Let's go!

OK. Say cheese!

Cheese!

On behalf of my beautiful wife and I,

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

General manager Kiyomiya, Ms. Junko,

We sincerely appreciate, with you provinding us with this opportunity.

Those of you who don't 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, in my ideal wedding...

Most importantly...

Somehow,

I think I get it now...

Why I was feeling so gloomy.

I think I was bothered by it.

Bothered by whether all your ex-girlfriends (motokano)...

...have seen your smile.

But I'm okay now. Because I just saw it.

Thank you all for coming!

-Junko-san -Yeah?

I'm not familiar with anyone by the name 'Motokano'.

What? It's fine already.

For the video letter and everything else, really, thank you so much.

Is that so?

Ms. Junko still doesn't know anything about it...

Yes...

About how Makoto's wife suddenly passed away,

And how she was the first person he's fallen in love with since his wife died.

Welcome. You've returned.

Takane has failed as a candidate for the next chief priest.
