Behind this Queen-like smile
lies a hidden identity.
In reality, Kamon Hiro remorselessly hates people.
After 25 years she got reunited with the only love in her life, Himura Chouji.
How's it going?
However, the guy who'd dumped her was gay.
And on top of that he asked her to help him fool his mother who has only 6 months to live.
Thus she ended up acting out a perfect...wait, no, a fake couple with him.
Goodbye.
Of course she clearly rejected him last week.
Won't you please join our family?
I have somehow...
fallen in love with you.
What did this person just say?
I decided not to hold back my feelings anymore.
Yu's father was often violent.
Since my leg became like this,
I'm still too scared and don't like to be touched by a man.
I can only love women.
When I first met you, my inner voice screamed out:
This is my fated one who I've been waiting for.
Sure you want the brat listen to this?
I properly discussed it with her.
My daughter would also...
want you to become her daddy, she said.
Right, Yu?
Daddy, you say?!
When you ran together with us at the sports day,
I saw my daughter's smile for the first time in a while and thought
I want to always keep running like this.
If the three of us could live together,
how happy we'd be.
Well...
I don't know how to say this...
Excuse me for the interruption.
Kamon-san, do you have a moment?
Yes.
Excuse me.
I've had such misunderstandings in the past but I'm not like this!
What is it, director?
Hey, wait. Aren't you carrying too much?
I'm fine. My strength is the only thing I'm confident in.
Nice to be young and flex those muscles.
Thank you very much.
Just what in God's name are you doing?
I'm carrying your books.
Are you really going to marry this person?
No, far from it.
She's only a bit embarrassed that she's getting married at 45.
Which on earth is it now?!
Director, would you please wait a moment?
Yes.
Didn't I clearly reject you on the fake marriage?
You still haven't found a place to live, right?
Then you can just come to my place.
And since I'm gay you don't need to be afraid that I might attack you.
Are you trying to gradually create a fait accompli?
No way.
I'm only worried about you as a friend.
Besides, you can't have your sleeping quarters here forever.
I am searching for a new apartment at the moment.
Do you have such leeway?
You still haven't paid the compensation for the hole in the floor of your last apartment, right?
Like I said, I'm going to lend you that 3 million.
So come to my place for the time being.
For the time being, would you please stop
that excessively energetic and perky young man?
I'm about to finish here, is there anything else?
Unbelievable! You work so fast.
Hey, isn't his smile like a breath of fresh air, too?
This is my new deliveryman, Deshimaru Tamotsu-kun.
Age 23, Bloodtype A, Zodiac Virgo, what about a lover?
- None, was it? - Yes.
Thank you very much.
You little bastard! You've fallen for him!
On this occasion, congratulations on your marriage.
Then, you're really getting married?
I've told you I'm not.
I'm sorry to trouble you,
Would you please bring all the books back to where they were?
- What? - What?
Don't say such a cruel thing to a youth who's sweated so much carrying them with all his effort.
Besides, you can't trouble the director here forever.
Well then, how about you carry everything to my place?
Huh?
Because it's come to this, let me say it...
Well...for a long time...
I've wanted to p..p..propose to you.
What are you saying now?
Nice! So, we're rivals then?!
- Well... - Good, then let's have Hiro choose.
Where do you want to bring your books?
Now what to do, Hiro?
Should it be my place or...
the director's house?
This bastard, playing dirty...
- Heave-ho. - Heave-ho.
Hey, now stop worrying.
Here you don't need to worry about the floor giving way.
I'm absolutely not worried about that.
Your method...
Excuse me, would you please sign this for me?
- Yeah, thank you. Signature? - Yes.
Well, where do I sign this?
- Over here. - Here?
Yes.
You worked so hard, why don't you eat with us?
I'll prepare something nice now.
Thank you very much,
Oh, but I have to go back to the company.
Hey, no need to be so reserved.
I might not look it but I'm a rather good cook, right, Hiro?
- Please excuse me. - Hey, where are you going?
To the estate agent's. I must quickly find a new apartment.
Are you still going on about that?
That's right, please make up with him, Oku-san.
TN: Oku-san: somebody's wife.
I am not an Oku-san.
I am sorry.
Then, I'll take my leave now.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Hey, don't attack such a good boy like this.
Because of you I forgot to ask his email address.
What's more important,
Would you please stop spreading rumors about our marriage?
I got it. I got it now. Let's just live together for now.
As a friend, I can't ignore your situation.
I'll say it clearly.
What? What?
I don't recall becoming friends with you.
And neither do I intend to do so in the future.
Tamotsu-kun! What happened?
Perhaps...
There was somebody at the front who's had trouble with all her baggage.
I called out to her and she turned out to be your mother, so I came with her.
Good evening!
He really saved me.
I didn't think there were still such nice young men in Tokyo.
Please leave my bags over there.
Good to see you, Hiro-san. I've got something important to tell you.
Wait, what are you doing here, Mom? Shouldn't you be at the hospital?
It's alright. I brought my medicine with me.
Since I heard Hiro-san's good news I just couldn't stay still anymore.
Look, this is a charm for a safe delivery from a famous temple in Toyama.
- You see ... - Excuse me.
I've held it in all the time, I'm at my limit.
What are you doing?
Aren't you getting too excited about this?
Tamotsu-kun. Hey, Tamotsu-kun.
Thank you for helping out my mother.
I'll be leaving now.
Right, Oku-san. Congratulations on your pregnancy.
Thank you.
Wow, look at all these veggies.
What's this? Oh, look, it's codfish.
Alright. Tonight I'll make codfish soup, a Toyama specialty.
More importantly...
I want you to clearly tell your mother,
that the marriage and pregnancy are both lies.
Look, can't you somehow endure it for half a year only?
Until my mother goes to heaven?
If you're so inclined, I can also tell her for you.
That you're gay...
Got it. I'll tell her no matter what.
But before that, let me cook something.
I don't know what to say when I'm hungry.
Ima kill you if you run away!
Subtitles by arakira @ d-addicts.com
And, Hiro-san,
how do you like the codfish soup Chouji made? It's Toyama's specialty.
It's delicious.
Right?!
Have some more.
You know, Mom...
It's about the marriage...
About where to hold the wedding?
I would like you to do it in Toyama,
but we also have to consider Hiro-san's circumstances, right?
Eh, yes...no...
We're not going to do it.
Not going to do what?
I'm saying...
We won't...
have a wedding...
ceremony or such.
Are you saying such things again?!
Don't you want to see Hiro-san in a wedding dress?
In the first place, if you say such things,
Hiro-san's parents are never going to agree to this either.
- Right, Hiro-san? - No...
My parents passed away in a fire at our house when I was three.
Oh my...such a thing happened to you?
Then, what happened to you afterwards?
I was taken in by my aunt.
My mother's little sister, to be precise.
Really?
You went through some hard times.
But now you're not alone anymore.
Think of me as your real mother.
Excuse me, Okaa-sama...
TN: Okaa-sama: respectful address for somebody else's mother.
You see, mother...
About Hiro and me...
I'm sorry! Let me go to the toilet first.
Maybe it's because of my illness, these days it comes very suddenly.
No, no!
I did try to tell her. You saw how she ran away to the toilet.
Then tell her properly once she's back.
Hey, Hiro, think about it once again,
please help me make my mother happy, too.
Like how you made Yuu-chan and her mother happy at the sports day.
I'm regretting that, too.
- In fact... - Huh?
Huh, what? What? Did anything happen with them?
She confessed that she likes me and that they want me to join their family.
No way!
Then what?
Are you saying she's a lesbian?!
If I let myself get roped into ibeing serious about anything by you,
I'll only end up getting dragged into something troublesome again.
She's pretty and her character is nice, too. Why don't you go with the moment and try dating her?
Maybe you're still not married yet,
because maybe you can only love woman...
I'm not like that!
Nice! Just now you were frank for the first time.
Let's keep this tone between us from now in.
More importantly...
would you please hurry and do something about your mother?
Or I'll really expose you.
That everything and anything was a lie.
Suit yourself.
Understood.
I'll just suit myself.
Sorry for the wait. Excuse me for interrupting our talk.
Well then, what were we talking about?
Frankly, Okaa-sama,
What is it?
Me...
and Chouji...
can't get married.
What?
What do you mean?
Please ask your son about the reason.
What is this about, Choujj?
No...well... what is she saying?
Please excuse me now.
Chouji-san, I will come to pick up my luggage another day.
H...h...hey. Wait, Hiro-san. Wait!
Hey, Chouji, do something!
("Nobody's Boy" by Hector Marlot)
With this, I'll erase these two.
The two of them were friends.
In this book, despite their opposite characters,
toad and frog were really good friends.
This story talks about how lucky one is if they have a real friend.
Well then, do you all have many friends?
Hiro-san, do you have a moment?
- It's about Yuu. - I'm busy at the moment...
Let's stop associating with these guys, too.
What are you doing here, Okaa-sama?
I heard everything from Chouji.
The reason why you can't get married.
He properly talked to you about it?
Yes.
He said it's the so-called marriage blues.
What?
I do understand your feelings.
Having your first marriage at 39,
You only met him through online dating and now you're about to get married.
There's a lot to get anxious about, right?
But you see,
I think if you marry Chouji,
you'll become a wonderful couple.
I will also support you with all my strength.
Then I'm availing myself of your kind offer...
Me and Chouji-san
have a secret we cannot tell you.
Secret? What is it?
That's...
I'm not 39, there was no internet dating,
and your son is gay!
It's something I can't say with my own mouth.
Those minor details don't really matter.
Even I've got some secrets I can't tell anyone.
Anyway, I can't marry Chouji-san.
Excuse me, I have to get back to work.
Nafea faa ipoipo.
Huh?
It's the title of a painting by Gauguin.
Do you know what it means?
Nafea faa ipoipo.
If I'm not mistaken,
When will you marry?
You know I said this whenever I met with Chouji.
And then he finally told me he'd be getting married to you.
Good things come to those who wait, I thought.
When I was so delighted...
Nafea faa ipoipo. Nafea faa ipoipo
Nafea faa...
Oh, what a hassle.
Okay? Alright, then everyone together again.
Let's match together.
Here I go. Yes. 1...2...3... Yes.
- We're all friends. - Yes. Yes.
Look to the front everyone.
With a smile. Smile.
Let's dance lively.
Hiro!
Come on, let's do it together.
I'm sorry to disturb you at work but I need to talk to you, Vice-Principal.
Don't speak so formally, just come over here.
Then you don't mind if I talk in a loud voice from here ?
Excuse me, Hara-sensei. Please take care of the children.
Yes.
What talk?
Your mother came to the library.
What are you trying to do?
How could you say I got the marriage blues?
You know, I really wanted to tell her everything clearly.
But saying we can't marry seems to have hit her sore spot.
"What the heck is it?" " What happened?"
"I can't even die in peace now!"
She kept rattling on like this, so...
I couldn't think of anything else than: "Hiru's probably got the marriage blues."
Why did you do that?
Are you trying to put the blame on me?
Please come and help us.
There's trouble between Yuuchan and the other kids.
Sorry. Wait a moment.
Hey, hey, hey! What's going on here?
You're all friends, so let's all get along.
But Yuu-chan's weird.
Oh?
Yuu-chan is kinda gross.
She never says anything.
My mom said the reason why she's weird is
because Yuu-chan's mom is weird.
Sensei, what's a lesbian?
A lesbian is a woman who likes women.
Listen.
If you look at Yuu-chan, she might be a little bit different from you,
But I think that's individuality.
Individuality. Do you know what individuality means?
It means that all of us here are not the same.
You see, like we all have different things we like or dislike, right?
A lot of wonderful things come into this world,
because there are people with a lot of individuality.
Like fun songs and dances or picture books.
Delicious meals or like pretty clothes.
So you see, that's why I think it's wrong
to not be friends or talk bad about someone just because they're different.
Hey Hiro, the kids are going to sing and dance together.
TN: Friends' Kindergarten.
but I can't think of a good routine. Can't you come up with something nice for me?
Like back in high school when you filled in for your theatre club's president who had collapsed.
You said the song and dance were perfect and the whole school was swept away by your performance.
After that...
The president who'd collapsed quit the theatre club.
and started hanging out with useless guys.
I heard that he's burdened with a large amount of debts now.
Oh for goodness sake!
I told you to stop thinking that you'll hurt people when you get serious over something.
Guess I'll have to start a BBtOH campaign.
What's BBtoH?
Bring Back the Old Hiro BBtOH campaign.
I'm thoroughly happy as I am now. Your concern is not needed.
Oh, Hiro-san. What are you doing here?
Well I had some business with Chouji-san.
Perfect timing. Do you have a moment?
I had a great idea.
What could it be?
If we're to discuss your marriage,
isn't it useless if it's just the three of us?
Pardon?
Please don't trouble yourself on our account and excuse me for the sudden visit.
Never mind.
Let's do this formally. I am Hiro-chan's cousin, Yaeko.
My father has always liked mountain climbing.
He named me Yaeko because the Mount Everest is 8850m high,
TN: Yaeko contains the Kanji for 8-fold - but it's a regular girl's name.
By the way, my brother's name is Tenjin.
TN: Tenjin means "heaven and man"
But not after the first man who climbed the Everest
he just took it from his guide who was named Tenjin.
Certainly invokes a half-hearted feeling, right?
Be quiet!
Speaking of him, where is your father today?
Well...that's...
He got himself another woman and left about a month ago.
So what?
Ushiku looks like a nice place.
City known for it's huge Buddha statue.
This is the first time I came to Ibaragi prefecture.
It's not IbaraGI, it's IbaraKi.
Excuse my straightforwardness,
My son and Hiro had decided to get married, but
then Hiro-san suddenly got the marriage blues
and now she doesn't want to get married anymore.
Therefore I thought you could help me persuade her.
He looks like a good man. Also his age seems close to Hiro's.
Are you maybe divorced or anything?
- No, well... - Oh no!
It's his first marriage.
Although it's a bit embarrassing at his age.
I see.
My son also turned 40 and is still single.
So I was worried whether he might be gay.
Oh my! I felt the same.
But then they decided to marry.
That really came as a relief.
Hot!
Listen, Hiro-chan. I got the marriage blues back then, too.
But marriage is really nice.
Besides, Chouji-san seems to be a great person.
Which university did you go to?
Same as Hiro-san.
By the way, my husband went to Todai.
TN: Most prestigious university in Tokyo.
Oh my, that's amazing.
I personally don't think that the academic background is important.
You're a kindergarten director, right?
What's your annual salary?
I'm the vice director.
Incidentally, how much does your husband earn?
He works at a trading company nowadays, so about 20 milllion Yen maybe.
(About 150.000 Euro)
Amazing! What about you?
About a quarter I guess.
Oh, that sounds rather hard.
But it sounds like a wonderful job.
Yes, well. He has always liked kids.
Excuse me...
Your child seems to have something stuck in his throat for a while already.
Hey, what are you doing?
Such idiots...
Are you confident that you will make Hiro-chan happy?
Are you asking me?
Is there anybody else here?
- Of course. - I think it's impossible.
What?
Excuse me....what...?
- It's magic. - Magic?!
What magic?
Excuse me...
Would you tell me your thoughts on this matter?
I don't think it would work out well between these two.
What makes you think so?
Somehow...
Your son is too good of a man.
Experience taught me that such men always have some ulterior motive.
Why do you want to marry Hiro-chan?
Are you talking to me again?
Don't ask if you know it.
Of course it's because I love her.
What's...
Frankly, there is another reason for the marriage.
There's a matter for congratulation, right, Hiro-san?
What?
Is it true, Hiro-chan?
Then there's nothing to hesitate about.
I'm feeling very grateful that
I've been blessed with two such cute children.
If they get married, I'm sure Hiro-san and Chouji will be happy together.
Even at this age I still run a little beauty parlor. I've never achieved anything grand.
Just getting married to Chouji's father and having this child here
Makes me puffed up with pride.
I may be laughed at as an over-doting parent, but
just look at this tender-hearted good boy.
So won't you give him Hiro's hand?
Please!
Oh, please excuse me...
Where would your bathroom be?
It's the first door to the left.
Please excuse me,
Lately it comes all of a sudden.
I'm sorry,
my mother tends to chatter away as she likes.
But even though she looks so healthy she's suffering from cancer.
And her life expectancy is only half a year at best.
That's why she's in such a hurry to get us married.
Please give us your blessing.
Please tell your mother
that there's no need to fuss over us.
Hiro doesn't regard us as her family.
That's...
Ever since we took her in when she was 3 she's never acted like a cute child.
Though I told her many times not to hold back but come and talk to me if she had any troubles, she was like
'I am totally fine.'
No matter what, she did everything on her own.
That's...
Which reminds me, you said you'd lost that one and only family picture you had.
Did you find it?
- No. - What's that?
Was it perhaps when the floor of your apartment collapsed?
Yes...well...
But isn't all well now?
If you get married you'll get a new family.
Your mother asked for the bathroom, but will she be alright?
She's sick, isn't she?
There are no sounds, but she wouldn't have collapsed, right?
No way...
I'm fine.
I'm only a little exhausted.
Hey, shouldn't you rather go to the hospital?
I am fine! And I took my medicine.
I just need to rest now.
What's more important, Hiro-san.
Yes.
Now since we got your aunt's blessing,
would you just do the wedding photos soon?
Huh?
Merely wearing a wedding dress
will probably make your doubts disappear.
Please.
Hey, Hiro...
Mother begging you like this, too, so
I'm begging you, please.
Yeah, right...
This is from your former landlord.
I've paid the compensation for you.
Now you're exploiting my weakness?
- No, that's not what I was... - Besides...
I...
What I hate the most is to get swayed by emotions. Excuse me.
You...
What happened to you, really?
The old Hiro would never have said something like this.
Anyways,
Even if it takes years, I'll pay you back completely.
About the books...
I'll come to pick them up as I have found a new apartment.
Oi, that butt is still burning!
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Would you please stop littering with your cigarette butts? You could seriously cause a fire.
Shut up! Everybody does it.
Hello, Oku-san.
I'm not a wife.
And I already have nothing to do with him anymore.
Then you're really going to move?
Excuse me,
Would you help me move my belongings?
Of course.
Contact me anytime.
WPE: World Peace Express
Are you always doing things like before?
What?
The phrases I hate most are "turning a blind eye!" and "sales tax not included"
Besides...
I want to save the world.
What?
I want to become an ally of justice.
For world peace.
Please do your best.
Another weirdo has appeared...
I'd like to see the newspaper from 3 years ago until now. Could you please bring them to me?
- If it's 3 years that would be about 60kg... - As fast as possible, please.
Understood.
(Family)
Yuu, it's bad to disturb during work.
-Excuse me. - Well....
If it inconveniences you,
we won't come here anymore.
Let's go, Yuu.
Come here.
Hiro!
What are you doing here?
You should have received an email.
I came to get my books since I've found a new place.
Sorry, I didn't check my emails lately.
If you need to go to work. please lend me your spare key.
Once I'm done here I'll leave it with the apartment manager.
Hey, Hiro. Please reconsider.
My mother more or less stopped speaking since that day.
She only opens her mouth once in a while to say
"Hiro-san will come to the photo-shooting, right?"
What in the world happened? Why do you look so dirty?
Hey, don't just change the subject.
I've told her to give up and cancel the studio already,
but she won't listen to anything I say.
It is none of my concern already.
I had a noble motive, I desperately thought of
the fake marriage for filial piety.
Then...
you can just ask someone else, right?
Whatever. It has to be you!
Why is that?
Because we're old friends.
What else? Or do you still like me even now?
That's ridiculous.
Then be my best friend, will you?
When we were together at university,
we had so many moments when we laughed and cried and clapped together.
I feel like we can create many more moments like that from now on.
But look, you can't clap with only one hand, can you?
I can't just watch you silently.
You might wonder why the guy who shook you up 25 years ago is trying to act cool now, but
Believe me!
No matter what happens from now on, I won't betray you.
I swear by your parents' grave if you want.
That's right. Let's go there now.
Father...Mother...
If only I wasn't gay, I would marry your daughter.
That is the only thing I cannot do.
But would you let me be her best friend until death?
I will never let Hiro be all on her own again.
With this, will you be best friends with me?
That's impossible.
Watching your goody two shoes act is heart-wrenching.
Even if you put on a show like this,
it's not making me trust you.
Then...
So what will you believe in from now on?
Do I need something like that?
Oh, really?!
You...
why did you turn into such a person?
You say you cannot trust people, but
After all you just really enjoy
making fun of people in your mind.
That's right!
That's also why you're so cold towards Yuu-chan's mother.
What's this?
Even though she took the courage to confess.
Even if you refuse her, wouldn't it be better to give her a proper response?
You might think that you hurt people if you get serious,
even if you're not, you hurt enough people around you.
Yuuchan, her mother, the library director, my mother,
even the kids at the kindergarten.
Imagine how happy you'd make them if you taught them a song and a dance.
Oh dammit! Can you believe there's such a coldblooded woman!
Go on. Go on.
Keep on living while hating everybody in this world.
But let me tell you,
I love.
Christians, Moslems, Buddhists, secularists,
brats, geezers, grannies, straights
I'll keep on loving everybody.
Alright, alright? I got it.
I can tell my mother the truth.
I'll send her a mail now that I've got to tell her something important after work.
Then, while we're having a lonely photo shooting of only the two of us
I'm gonna tell her everything.
The marriage was a lie.
Having a Baby was also a lie.
And while we're at it, your beloved only son is gay!
Finish picking up all your books until Mother and I come back.
Goodbye.
Is this all?
But it's too bad somehow.
You two looked really good together.
Oh, right.
I forgot to give this to you.
Well, what's this?
Since you lost your family picture,
Chouji-san asked me to help him search for it.
We looked up where the rubbish from your old apartment had been taken to.
Chouji-san stayed up all night looking through dirty piles of garbage.
What in the world happened? Why do you look so dirty?
He looked really happy when he found it.
He said: "This is Hiro's most treasured possession."
This was the Lily group with "Ghosts Don't Exist"
Next will be the Rose group with "We're All Friends".
Now, Rose group, come up everybody.
Please get on the stage.
Come onto the stage please.
Huh?
What's wrong?
We don't want to dance with Yuu-chan.
Yuu-chan won't sing.
I don't want to dance, too.
W...wait. Wait! Wait!
Wait, what are you all saying?
We talked about individuality before, didn't we?
We're all different but if we get together and each of us gives their best,
everyone here will be happy.
No!
W...wait... You all understand, right?
Sensei, please...
Maybe we had better leave Yuu-chan out after all.
- Please don't say such a sad thing, Hara-sensei. - But...
Okay...okay. I understand. I understand.
I will dance with you, too. Let's all do it together, okay?
Music please.
We're all friends.
Always, always friends.
Even when we're grown up,
always...
Hiro!
Do you know the book "Nobody's Boy"?
Original novel: "Sans Famille" by Hector Malot
It's a book that absolutely fascinated me as a child.
The protagonist is a boy called Remi.
He didn't have a mother or a father.
But he met a lot of wonderful people.
and he keeps thinking: I'm not alone.
There's Maman Barberin,
Master Vitalis and his dog Capi,
And finally
his special friend,
Mattia.
No matter what happened, Mattia didn't lose his heart.
And Remi didn't feel lonely as long as he was with this friend.
They had a secret codeword.
Upon saying it they could make up even if they fought.
And also when they wanted to cry,
it would give them the courage to say 'let's do our best together' and move on.
What was their codeword?
Forward!
March!
We're all friends.
Always, always friends.
Even when we go to school,
we'll always be friends.
We're all friends.
Always, always friends.
Even when we're grown up,
we'll always be friends.
Together with everyone,
we were singing songs.
Together with everyone,
we were painting pictures...
Do you have a moment?
Yes.
In any event,
I cannot become family with you and Yuu-chan.
That's fine.
When I decided to confess to you,
I already prepared myself to get rejected.
But...
Can you still treat me as a good friend from now on?
So please come to the library again anytime.
Thank you very much.
Yuu will be happy, too.
Hiro!
Thank you!
I pressed my imaginary shutter button again.
Can I hug you?! Though I'm already hugging you!
But why did you come?
After I received this from Tamotsu-kun.
You didn't have to thank me.
- That's not it. - Huh, what?
This isn't my family.
Huh?
I can't believe you thought this could be my family picture.
No, but...but look.
I thought her face resembles you.
Huh, why did I?
And one more thing,
I'll go ahead and wait for you.
You'll wait?
Aren't you set on the photo shooting?
Are you fine with that?
Because we are...
close friends, aren't we?
Sorry, Mom, I'm late.
Oh, where's Hiro?
What? She didn't come.
Noway! But, she said she'd come.
What's with her?!
Kidding!
What?
Isn't she pretty?
Yeah...yeah...well,
For someone her age.
You'll get punished if you say such things.
Hurry and get ready, too,
Congratulations, Chouji.
Thank you, Hiro-san.
Please stop...
Okaa-san.
Mother.
This is the first time you called me Mother.
Didn't she call you so before, too?
Up until now, she called me...
Okaa-sama.
TN: Very polite for Mother/ sb else's mother
You don't understand about these little nuances at all.
By the way, Chouji,
Didn't you say you had something important to tell me?
Yeah, well...
That's right, that's...
How do I say this...
Mother,
to be honest, we didn't...
- meet through online dating. - That's right. That's right.
We went out in university.
When we met again after 25 years, our love got rekindled.
So...
I'm 45, just like him.
I see...
So you'll have to be carefull since you'll have a baby at an advanced age.
- You know, about that... Oh! Look,
we should take the picture now.
Ah, that's right.
- Please start. - Yes.
- Mother... - Yes?
Wouldn't you take it together with us?
Can I?
Of course.
As a family of three, right?
Okay, I'm taking it.
I'm sorry for having you do this over and over again.
Not at all. I'm relieved that the two of you made up.
Your mouth...
is still open.
Really?
I'm back home.
Oh, moving is hard, right? Isn't there anything I can help with?
Wait, Mom, didn't you go back to Toyama?
I thought I should, but
then I found a nice wedding hall.
And I thought I had to show you.
Listen, didn't I tell you we won't have a ceremony?
Don't say something like that, it's a once in a lifetime occasion.
Besides, you still didn't hand in your marriage registration, right?
So I went to the ward and got this for you.
Let's go hand it in together soon.
Mother...
What are you getting carried away for, old hag?!
