Siblings?!

Are you going to marry my brother? You'd be an idiot to marry into the temple.

I will marry Junko-san and inherit this temple.

Please. Onii-san is the only one that can become the chief priest.

What are you plotting?

I'm very sorry! I'll go to New York by my own effort.

I'll always be here for you.

Bring Takane here.

-Happy Birthday. -This is the happiest birthday I've ever had.

I like you.

I want to become your lover.

I lied to you. Obaa-sama wanted to talk to you tonight.

I'm going to take everything you have.

-You're dating?! -Yes!

-Pretty much. -Thanks to everyone's efforts, our feelings are mutual.

-Finally! -It took a while, Takane-kun.

-Congratulations, onii-san! -You're all exaggerating!

So why are you here again when you left just before?

This is the kind of situation where one would say 'Surprise! I'm back again!'

You're cute, Onii-san~

-Do it one more time, please? -Surprise. I'm back again~

-KYAAA! -What are you getting excited for?

Now that you two are dating you won't want to be apart for even 1 second.

What about the temple?

Since I have spare time, for the time being I can stay with you.

-Spa-spare time? -Like a holiday, right?

-A paid holiday? -A holiday to date. -Eh?

-Then, how about for the time being you stay over? -Better yet, just live together!

-Live together? -Live together?

The time we lived together was our most romantic period.

-Romantic? Ooh. -You're being way too enthusiastic.

We used to flirt with each other without anyone disturbing us, right?

-Flirt? Could you give me the specifics? -Again, you're being way too enthusiastic!

Good morning kisses. Goodnight kisses. Thank you kisses. Goodbye kisses. Kisses all year round.

Though we definitely don't do that anymore.

-Kisses you say... Understood. -You're taking notes?!

Anyhow, living together will deepen your love for each other.

Deepen our love.

-Junko-san! -What what?!

Let's deepen our love too, by living together, flirting, being lovey-dovey and kissing!

-Huh?! -If that's the plan, let's make arrangements.

-Eh?! -You can use my room.

No, no, no... We're taking this living together thing too fast, don't you think?

We've only been dating for a day! Hey- what are you doing?!

Nene! What are you doing? Seriously!

What about Takane?

It looks like Onii-san completely forgot that he had an important meeting with you.

Madamme. Takane is not the type to forget about his appointments like that.

I'm sure he has reasons.

Get in touch with all the parishioners.

We will introduce Amane to everyone very soon.

Yes, ma'am.

After that, Kaori-san. Let's announce your marriage with Amane since he's the successor now.

Eh?

You are someone this temple absolutely needs.

-No, uhm... -Oh my.

I don't deserve a beauty like you.

But, let's think of this as fate too and get along, shall we?

Now, let's make out.

No! Even if you say that, it's impossible!

You don't like me?

No, that's not it.

Then say that you like me.

No. Come on. I'll say it when the time comes.

That time is now.

Even if I say it so suddenly...

I mean, it's not like I can change my behavior all of a sudden.

Then, in order to change how you feel, let's start with changing how we call each other.

-How we call each other? -How should I call you?

Eh? Isn't it fine to just drop the honorifics?

Alright.

Ju-

Ju-

[NOTE: She's referring to a drama.] -Jun-- -This is turning into something from 'From a North Country'!

-By north country, do you mean Canada and Norway? -No...

Otou-san!

-What was that just now? -Don't worry about it.

It's fine, so let's just sleep for today.

-Since this is our first night together, we should commemorate it... -Good night!

-Junko-san, what about my goodnight kiss? -Just go to sleep already! Jeez.

Oh yeah. This guy sleeps with his eyes open.

It's no use. I'm still awake. I can't sleep.

-Go to sleep. This is training too. -Training?

In that case, at least give me your hand.

Oh my! I'm running late!

My apologies. Your sleeping face was so beautiful that I turned off the alarm.

Dummy!

Junko-san. Here's your lunch.

-Heavy! Thank you. -A thank you kiss please.

Eh?

Ah. Oh yeah, I forgot!

Here. It's your spare key.

It's my first time getting a spare key...

-It's a day to remember. -I'm going, okay?

-Junko-san, Junko-san! My goodbye kiss please. -I'm going.

-Junko-san. -What?

I'm going to be late!

Fine! Crouch down!

I'm going!

This isn't bad either.

You're dating Hoshikawa-san? And you're living together?!

Your voices are a little loud.

How did you end up dating him all of a sudden even though you hated him so much?

To the point that you're living together? I don't get it at all.

Well, I guess that's love for you.

So, Junko-sensei. Do you actually like Hoshikawa-san?

-Yeah. I guess so. -Was it Hoshikawa-san's dogged persistence?

So, have you told him you like him?

-Well. Sort of. Just once. -Once?!

You have to say it at least 20 times everyday!

But, I mean, it's been a while since I had a boyfriend. Now that we've come full circle, I don't really know what to do!

-What about marriage? -We-we're still dating, so...

Junko-sensei. You're still saying that kind of thing?

Dating at your age equals marriage, you know.

-Frankly speaking, it's a waste of time to date just so you can enjoy love. -A waste of time, you say...

Eh? Ah. What about Masako-chan? What about the guy that's younger than you?

Well in that case it's obvious. that something like marriage is impossible.

To be fair, he's cute and things aren't all that bad between us. But he's still too young.

-But he's rich, isn't he? -What are you mumbling about?

My problems aren't important right now.

But Junko-sensei, if you get married, are you going to stop working? Are you going to quit ELA?

Oh right...

Are you going to give up working in New York?

Are you prepared to marry into a temple?

But being a temple's daughter-in-law means you'll be surrounded by beautiful priests...that sounds kinda fun.

No, no, no. You'll cook a ton of rice for all the young apprentices.

You'll cook and it'll be eaten, you'll cook and it'll be eaten.

Eventually, you'll be cooking rice all day.

No, you're talking about a sumo stable mistress right now. Eventually, you'll be cooking rice all day.

No, you're talking about a sumo stable mistress right now.

Oh. Sumo wrestlers. Seme vs seme. (Seme = dominant in BL relationships)

Anyhow, if you get married, you'll become a temple's daughter-in-law. Do you understand that?

A temple's daughter-in-law, huh?

Takane-sama!

Are you okay?

Sorry for causing you worry.

Onii-san. Where have you been?

I was worried about you. Let Obaa-sama know that Onii-san is back.

Understood.

Exactly what are you thinking? Amane.

Right back at you. What are you thinking, Onii-san?

You should've told everyone that I lied to you about the meeting time.

Who knows? If you tell Obaa-sama everything she might even forgive you.

That's not necessary.

Because the one who lied will be feeling the most guilt right now.

I want to become the chief priest, even if I have to lie to get there.

There's no way you, who was pampered ever since we were little,

...could understand me, who was always treated like a nuisance.

Takane is here.

Please meet with him.

I no longer want to see that child's face.

-But madamme! -This temple...

Has no place for Takane.

We're in a pickle.

-If she's acting like that, we're in for a long ride. -That's for sure.

Are you staying at Sakuraba-san's house right now?

Yes.

We have quietly started dating.

Is that so? I'm glad!

-In that case, leave the situation here to me. -But chief priest...

I'll do something about your grandmother. Leave it all to me.

-Chief priest! -What?

-The madamme is calling you. -Eh? O-okay.

Takane. Go, and be careful so you don't get caught by your grandmother.

Thank you.

Takane-sama.

Kaori-san.

Are you not coming back anymore?

For now.

At this rate I'll end up with Amane-san... I don't want that.

I...

I like you, Takane-sama.

I'm very sorry.

I...

I have started dating Junko-san.

You should go back home too.

-Sakuraba -Yes?

This is an entry sheet for the next recruitment exam. If you pass, you'll surely be able to go to the New York branch.

You'll be recognized for your work and be able to fulfill your dream, right?

Junko-sensei.

Yes!

What is this?

It's a love correlation chart.

The love lines at this workplace are pretty complicated, don't you think?

-So I figured I should try organizing them. -Eh? So why are you showing me this?

You ended things with Kiyomiya-san, right?

And now, you're living with a monk, right?

Eh wait, so you've sorted yourself out, right? Did Masako-chan tell you?

-It's all over the place. Everyone knows. -Eh?

Rumour has it you're trying for a baby, or that you've already had a baby.

-That's definitely not true. -Anyhow, I wanted an objective opinion.

-Even if you say that... -First, we need to deal with these two.

Ms. Momoe. About tonight...

-Please! -It's a delicate situation.

Even though Arthur-sensei has consistently been hitting on her, she hasn't responded at all.

-I feel sorry for Arthur-sensei. -Yeah...

Lately, these two seem to be getting along.

-Eh? -There might be a development sooner or later.

Momoe-sensei. Were you alright the other day?

Ah. Uhm. M-M-Mishima-san?

Could you please read this part out in Japanese for me?

Tell me what you want.

Ah, thank you! Ah. Ah. Could you do that one more time?

Tell me what you want.

Huh? Masako-chan and Hachiya-kun?

Here you go. You asked me to prove it to you the other day, right?

I don't need it. I won't accept this sort of thing, since you're a kid.

Hey, wait a second.

It's still in the works though...

So the younger guy Masako-chan was talking about was Hachiya-kun?

You didn't notice? Junko-sensei, you're slow.

-Eh? What are you doing? -You dumped Yuki-chan, right?

-No. I didn't dump him. -Nene!

-This voice is... -Eh?

-Yuki-chan, what's up? -I'm giving this to you.

-Thanks. -Let's go shopping together next time?

-I want to go, but I don't have any money... -Don't worry.

I'll buy everything for you.

Could it be? Nene?

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

Yuki-chan's is just dressed as a girl. He's still a boy.

Give him 2 years, and he might turn into a pretty hot guy.

Don't do that....hey wait! Don't involve my sister in this. Hey! Give him 2 years, and he might turn into a pretty hot guy.

Don't do that....hey wait! Don't involve my sister in this. Hey!

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

Okay, Mr. Hoshikawa, that's good. But try to make it 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--

Obaa-sama, did you hear about Onii-san?

It looks like he started dating Junko-san.

To make matters worse, they're even living together.

I have no interest in hearing about people that have no relation to this temple.

Amane.

Stop sneaking around.

There's no way you, who was pampered ever since we were little,

...could understand me, who was always treated like a nuisance.

Hey. Hey!

Wait.

Take it.

You're so stubborn! We're not in that sort of relationship.

It's late so go home already.

With this, we're in that sort of relationship now, right?

You suck.

Huh? This could be dangerous.

Is there really a Lucifer-sama event in a place like this?

I'm sorry, Ms. Momoe.

-There's no event. -Eh?

I wanted to meet you.

How long are you going to keep teasing me?

Ms. Momoe,

I'll be frank with you.

You, unlike any other woman I've met, have shown not even the slightest bit of interest in me. Not even once.

You're the first.

So even if it meant taking advantage of your weakness, I tried to approach you.

I've never seen anyone smile so happily doing what they love.

And...

While I was watching your smiling face, I realized something.

Ms. Momoe.

I'm falling for you.

I love you.

Oh yeah. A new BL book came out today. I have to go and buy it.

As if that's important! Something even more amazing might've happened just now!

No way. That was just trolling. But, just maybe...

A: On the off chance he was being serious he's my first ever boyfriend.

B: That definitely had to be trolling, no matter how you look at it.

This one sounds more like it.

But...

That was my first ever...

Kiss.

Don't tell me that was my first ever heartbreak?

Excuse me.

Five shots. And one for you.

Understood. Thank you very much.

I'm home!

That sense!

-How's the pressure? -It's good. I feel great.

This has been a dream of mine. Since I couldn't do it with my father.

Takane-kun. Ow, ow, ow!

-What's wrong? -It's just my butt.

I should warm it up.

Takane-kun. It's slippery here so you can't push me.

-Okay -Got it? You can't push me.

-Alright. -You definitely can't push me.

-I understand. -Good.

Hmm?

-You're good at scrubbing backs. -Thank you for the bath.

-Takane-kun. Have a seat. -Okay.

What's this?

It's called a 'wagesa' (Wagesa = monk's stole)

I'm not asking you what it's called. What's that stain?

Whose lipstick is that?

-It's Kaori-san's. -You met with Kaori-san?

When I went back to the temple to get my belongings earlier today.

-That came out pretty fast. -So why is her lipstick there?

It was probably...

This absolutely had to be from her jumping on your chest, right?! Otherwise, it wouldn't have stained your clothes, right?!

Calm down, Junko! Calm down! This absolutely had to be from her jumping on your chest, right?! Otherwise, it wouldn't have stained your clothes, right?!

Calm down, Junko! Calm down!

-It probably got stained some other way. -Don't mess with me!

-Okaa-san... -I just remembered.

A long time ago when Otou-san's white shirt had a lipstick stain on it...

"There's no problem because it's from a gay bar", "I'm safe because it's a gay bar"

He made those excuses but in the end it was from the female bartender from two blocks down the road, wasn't it?!

-Eh!? -Let's forget about things like that from the past.

I'm getting angry just thinking about it!

-Okaa-san. That was an inevitable accident. -Inevitable accident my foot!

That's right. This is absolutely unacceptable!

Takane-kun, do something!

Both of you please calm down. It's just a lipstick stain. Takane-kun, do something!

Both of you please calm down. It's just a lipstick stain.

What do you think you're doing, trying to sweet-talk your way out of this! Both of you please calm down. It's just a lipstick stain.

What do you think you're doing, trying to sweet-talk your way out of this!

I definitely won't forgive you! I'll divorce you! What do you think you're doing, trying to sweet-talk your way out of this!

I definitely won't forgive you! I'll divorce you!

-Divorce!? -We're not living together anymore!

We're not?

-I don't want to see your face anymore! -Hey, Okaa-san! Wait!

Just wait a minute!

I can't believe this! I can't believe this! You cheater! Just wait a minute!

I can't believe this! I can't believe this! You cheater!

I can't believe this!

Ow! Ow! Not my butt! Takane-kun, help me! I can't believe this!

Ow! Ow! Not my butt! Takane-kun, help me!

Get out! GET OUT!

-Hurry up! You dummy! -Dummy!

-Okaa-san. -Junko-san. Please open the door.

Junko-san!

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

-Otou-san, are you okay? -Ah. I'm cold.

Otou-san.

Takane-kun.

-I feel sleepy. -Otou-san. You can't sleep here.

Ah, I can see something!

Otou-san, I can't see anything. Otou-san, otou-san, otou-san!

Junko-san!

You're so noisy! You're embarrassing me so get inside already!

Thank you.

-Just go and die! -Hey!

Take me too! Ah. It's cold. So cold.

-You're not off the hook yet. -Like I said, it was a misunderstanding.

By the way, what are all these couple sets?!

It says in this book that all lovey-dovey couples have couple sets.

That's a shoujo manga you know. From 30 years ago.

Let's wear these couple outfits as proof that we made up.

Ugh. I'd rather die than wear that.

In that case, Junko-san How about these scarves?

That's so middle school. You've dated some pretty fine girls up till now, right?

Whenever I was asked out, I never refused so we would start dating.

-But it never lasted more than 2 weeks. -I can kinda see why.

I'm going to sleep now.

Ah. Eh? Huh?

I'm doing all of this because it's you, Junko-san.

Because I want to see your smile...

I am doing all sorts of things. Please forgive me.

I got it, so let me go already.

I'm definitely not letting you go.

Why? Let me go! Why? Let me go! I'm definitely not letting you go.

Why? Let me go! Why? Let me go!

I'm definitely not letting you go. Will not let you go ever. Why? Let me go! Why? Let me go!

I'm definitely not letting you go. Will not let you go ever.

Then...

Tell me that you love me.

-I already said it once. -I want to hear it over and over again.

-It's fine...isn't it? -Let's hear it.

-Eh? -Let's hear it.

It's fine, it's fine. Hey, it's fine!

Takane-kun.

I caught a cold, so how about some hot sake?

Takane-kun

Takane-kun?

Huh? You're already asleep?

What a downer. Even though I came up with such a great joke

-Junko-san, let's continue. -We can't because my family's here.

You're right.

Your family is here.

This is bad! Takane-kun, we're in trouble!

-Did you send out a missing person report? -What's going on this early in the morning?

-Good morning! -When I woke up I found this... -Did you send out a missing person report? -What's going on this early in the morning?

-Good morning! -When I woke up I found this...

"I'll be taking some time off for a while. - Mom"

-It's fine. This happens once every year. -She's probably at Grandpa's house in Saitama right now.

No, this time it might be serious.

-Otou-san, you say that every time. -Is it really okay not to contact the police?

It's fine. It's fine. This is what married couples are all about.

A married couple's relationship is a mysterious thing.

-Amane did? -We have to tell Takane-sama straight away.

Okay. I'll do it.

Jun--

Jun--

Jun-- Jun--

Jun--

Sorry!

-Huh? Did you make that? -Yes.

You can't afford to act leisurely in these circumstances. The situation changed.

Amane is up to no good.

At this rate, the temple will...

Amane probably has something in mind.

You're too naive, Takane.

The reason you couldn't meet your grandmother that night was Amane's doing, right?

Takane!

Amane has a slight tendency to be easily misunderstood.

If I don't have faith in him as his brother, then who will?

Ah. Mishima. What are you doing here this early?

I have to tell Kiyomiya-san something.

I have something I need to tell you too.

Hmm?

-I'm quitting ELA this month. -Hmm?

-I'm being transferred. -Transferred?

To New York.

I see.

Well, I guess it'll get lonely but I'm happy for you. Do your best!

-Hey, Sakuraba. -Yeah?

Ah. No. Sorry. It's nothing.

I'm counting on you to give me a good farewell party.

Got it.

You finally made up your mind and decided to abandon the temple?

Amane

What on earth are you plotting?

-What are you talking about? -I will never forgive lies.

This has nothing to do with someone who bums around in their girlfriend's house, does it?

Ah. Or are you prepared to abandon Junko-san and come back to the temple?

I'm not going to give up Junko-san or this temple.

-New York, huh? -H-hey! What's going on?

Hmm? Eh?

The lady of the house is here.

Ah!

I-it's been a while.

I heard you're dating Takane?

Yes.

You should've at the very least greeted me, no?

I'm sorry about that. Um. Hoshikawa-san and I...

I see your workplace is quite nice.

Thank you very much.

It suits you very well.

Like your beloved New York.

You are someone that belongs here.

The world Takane and I live in is completely different.

No matter how hard you try, I will not acknowledge you as Takane's wife.

Break up with Takane.

Okay?

-Let's go back. -Yes, ma'am!

Sakuraba.

-Are you okay? -I'm fine.

You don't look fine.

I told you, didn't I? To come to me if you need advice.

Thank you.

Excuse me for a moment.

Hello?

Onee-chan? Dad, he's..!

Huh? What happened to Dad?

-Nene. Where's Dad? -Nene and I just got here now.

-What should we do? -Ah. Nene.

-Ah. Where's my Dad? -Excuse me.

Seriously, Dad. It was just hemorrhoids.

-What about your mom? -I called her, but she said 'Who cares, it's just hemorrhoids.'

So cold-hearted.

-I still think we should properly explain the situation to her. -Ah, it's fine!

He gets hemorrhoids once every 4 years. Jeez. Like the Olympics!

Ow, I told you that hurts!

You hate me that much? I'm hurt.

Hey.

You love my brother that much?

Yes.

That's enough for me. I'm going to take everything he has.

I'm going to take everything...

...destroy it and throw it away.

Sorry. Are you okay with eating this for dinner?

Of course.

-We have to wait three minutes now right? -Don't tell me this is your first time eating cup ramen?

Yes. It's my first time.

The world Takane and I live in is completely different.

Break up with Takane.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I hate lies.

Tell me, whatever it is.

I'll do whatever I can to fix it.

Junko-san.

Eh? Why is it beeping? Eh?

The croquettes are done.

Somehow, we always end up like this huh?

I wonder if that's it?

Maybe God is telling us this isn't going to work?

Neither God nor Buddha say things like that.

Junko-san.

We're fine the way we are now.

Let's stay like this for a little longer.

-Oh! Couple scarves! -You two are all over each other huh?

-Lovey-dovey, right? -Totally burned, right?

...only at the bakery.

-Good one. -You don't have to do that.

I got a compliment.

-See ya, Ma-chan! Take care. -Ow, ow, ow, it hurts. Jeez.

-Junko-chan. -Hmm?

You'll have a happy life.

-Eh? -Drop by and have some bread even after you're married.

We have a stroller if you need one.

Everyone's going a little overboard.

What are you crying for?

-What about Mom? -I got a text!

-It says 'Take care of yourself. The end.' -Why are you so happy?

'The end' means she's coming back.

The relationship between married couples is becoming even more mysterious.

-I have to go to work now. -Okay.

-Take care. -Okay

-Junko-san. -Hmm?

Ah, thank you.

Have a safe trip.

Okay. I'm going now.

-Junko-sensei! -Yes?

-You have another guest. -Again? Who is it this time?

Are you dating Sakuraba?

Yes.

Do you plan on marrying her?

That's right.

-Is that so. -I will make Junko-san happy.

Hoshikawa-san.

You understand that marrying you will mean she has to give up on her dream to go to New York, don't you?

If you ever make Sakuraba cry...

...when that happens I'll take her away from you.

He got kicked out of the temple?

Yes.

-Why didn't he tell me something that important? -He probably didn't want to worry you.

Then...

Is Hoshikwa-san still going to become the chief priest?

-At this rate, Amane will be taking that position. -That can't be.

In order to become a chief priest,

...he has poured in so much devotion.

Junko-san.

To Takane, the temple is irreplaceable.

Ever since his parents passed away...

...he talks to them at their altars everyday.

Father. Mother. I got 100% in every subject for my school tests.

Look.

I came in first place in a race during our sports fest.

Celebrations for the coming-of-age ceremony went smoothly.

From now on, I will completely devote myself to become the next chief priest.

To Takane, the temple is the only place where he has memories of his parents.

But...

With the way things are now...

So this is Mom and Dad's altar huh?

I don't know these people at all.

Since they're total strangers to me.

Since they're total strangers to me.

That old bat is, too.

She gives all her affection my brother alone then ships me, the second son, off to Kyoto without batting an eye...

And yet she takes advantage of me only when things turn out like this.

All these good-for-nothing dimwits are bothering me to death!

Amane intends to destroy the temple.

You're the only one that can stop this.

Junko-san.

There's no one else but you.

I'm begging you.

Please... Break up with Takane.

I know this is a selfish request...

But there's nothing else we can do besides this to make his grandmother change her mind.

Please...

...Forget about Takane.

The world Takane and I live in is completely different.

Break up with Takane.

You understand that marrying you will mean she has to give up on her dream to go to New York, don't you?

Forget about Takane.

I love you.

I love everything about you.

-I'm home. -Welcome back.

You're early.

Hoshikawa-san We need to talk. It's important.

The chief priest came to see me.

I heard you got kicked out of the temple?

Why did you keep quiet about such an important thing?

I didn't want you to worry.

We're dating aren't we?

Yes.

Then make me worry.

I want to be worried about you.

That's what it means to be a couple.

You're right.

Your grandmother also came to see me.

She said the worlds we live in are different.

Hoshikawa-san.

-Hoshikawa-san. I-- -Junko-san.

Don't say it any more.

I don't want to break up with you.

I won't accept it.

But as long as I'm here you can't return to the temple, you know?

I don't want to take such a precious place away from you.

I don't want you to lose the place...

...where you have memories of the time you spent with your parents.

Junko-san.

But I'm sorry...

I...

I love you.

I'm hopelessly in love with you.

So I don't want to break up with you.

I'm so sorry. What should I do?

You finally told me you love me.

I don't want to break up with you either.

It might be my mom.

Eh?

Amane.

I want to consult you two on something.

Demolition work?

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

So I wanted you guys to help me pick a name for the new building.

I personally think 'Hoshikawa Hills' sounds nice.

-Amane. Exactly what are you thinking? -Isn't it obvious?

I'm going to take revenge on you.

I'm going to destroy the whole temple...

...and take revenge on you.
