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.
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.
And this week, I've got a hunch that she will be dragged into even more troubles.
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 office and got this for you.
Let's go hand it in together soon.
Mother.
What are you getting carried away for, old hag?!
Hey Hiro, do you have a minute?
Please knock before open the door.
And also... please don't appear in front of me half-naked.
Ah, sorry, sorry.
You know, Hiro, when we're at home, you don't have to force yourself to smile.
Leaving that aside, where's your mother?
What are we going to do?
Your mother seriously wants to go and hand it in tomorrow.
I'll do something to prevent that.
I can't take this so far as to defile your family register.
Well then, why did you put your signature and seal here?
If I hadn't done that, she wouldn't have gone to bed.
It'll be all right.
We will just lie to her that we went to the ward office.
Then, what are we going to do about the ceremony?
Of course, we won't have it. It's enough that you did the photos.
Well then, can you please tell her that my pregnancy is a lie already?
Ah, right. There's that too.
Will it be all right?
In the end, you will be dragged into your mother's pace again?
I told you I won't give you any more troubles.
At last, you agreed to live with me.
And recognized me as a close friend.
This is a great opportunity...
I would like to set some rules.
What?
It is necessary for cohabitation.
There's no need to be too formal.
Even if you don't mind, I do.
Firstly, I've borrowed 3 million yen from you to pay the compensation for my old apartment.
With my salary, I can only pay you back 30,000 yen every month.
You can pay me back any time.
I can't do that.
Apart from that, you know...
Can you do something about your tone? We're a married couple now after all.
Since I parted with you 25 years ago,
I've always been like this.
Even if you tell me now...
Then, it's something you can fix over time. All right.
Then the next issue is the household chores.
Come on, you're not done yet? I have to get up early tomorrow.
Well then, let's talk about the rest tomorrow.
Roger! Good night!
- Hey, Hiro! -Ah!
I've told you to knock first.
Ah... ah, sorry, sorry.
Hey, Hiro.
Yes? What is it?
There's something I want to confirm with you.
We don't have to sleep together at night, do we?
Why are you asking?
No. I just think that maybe we should give it our best.
No, thanks.
Right? Right? I see.
Good night!
Bastard, you were relieved just now, right?
It's 6:40 A.M. Good morning.
As you can see from the studio B's rooftop at the moment, unfortunately the cloudy sky...
Have I kept you waiting?
Oh, Hiro-san. Good morning.
Did you sleep well?
Yes. Thanks for asking.
Mother. How are you feeling?
It looks like my condition is better today.
You see, I've been thinking...
Wouldn't it be best to go and hand in your marriage registration before work?
Regarding that matter...
I've already told you that we're busy today.
Then how about tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow?
I'm free any time.
You don't have to worry. We'll hand it in.
Come on. Why? Let me go with you.
We're not young anymore. You don't have to go with us. It's shameful.
Then, leave the wedding hall matters to me, okay?
This place is okay, right? It's available on an auspicious day.
As I said, we won't have the ceremony.
Don't say something like that.
All my friends in Toyama are really looking forward to it.
Besides, if you cancel the wedding hall, you will lose most of your deposit.
It's such a waste, right Hiro-san?
Ah, yes...
That's enough, old hag!
Don't get carried away when I'm being a good son!
What now?! How can you talk to your parent like this?!
No, I... I'm just asking you to stop going ahead as you please.
You were also like this when I was in junior and senior high.
Whenever you found a cute girl in my class, you immediately invited her to our house to make us a couple.
That was because you never found yourself a girlfriend and got me worried.
Just leave me alone already. I'm not a kid anymore.
Oh, you talk as if you've grown up on your own.
You are being totally... that, you know, that!
What do you mean?
You're so annoying!
I didn't want to say it like this but I guess I just need to slap it into your face...
- What's with you? - What's with you?
- Hey, don't copy me! - Hey, don't copy me!
Hey! Is this some brats' fight?!
Stop interfering anymore. This is our business.
What are you saying?
How can you not want me to properly introduce Hiro-san as my daughter in law to the people we're indebted to?
In that case... in that case...
Isn't it sufficient to send them this? The photo we've taken the other day.
Hiro and I have decided that we absolutely will not have will not have a wedding ceremony and reception.
Quickly cancel the wedding hall, go back to Toyama and rest!
You're sick, you know.
Ah, really... I'm going to work.
Hey, stop right there. Chouji!
Hey!
For Pete's sake.
Regardless of his age, a child will always cause troubles for his parents.
I'm sorry, Hiro-san. I didn't teach him well.
Ah, no...
I will also have to go to work now.
Oh?!
Seems this fake marriage isn't gonna work after all...
Fake Couple - episode 3
Translation: CloveR CAFE, timings: tiacosas, edit: arakira, QC: stuartnz
I'm returning these books.
Excuse me...
This mark is...
Ah. I'm reading this series right now.
I don't want to lose track of which volume I'm up to.
I'm really sorry but there are other people who read these.
It's not a big deal.
Ah. Don't erase it. I'll lose track of where I'm up to.
It would feel so great to land a flying kick on her...
Hiro-san.
Mother. Why did you come here?
Can you do something to persuade him? My stupid son.
Why is he so against a wedding reception? I really really don't understand it.
You know, I'm not young anymore...
I'd like to be modest.
What are you saying?
You have to properly inform your aunt, too.
Or what?
Is there any reason why it would be bad to have a wedding reception?
Ah, no... There's nothing like that.
There is a big reason not to...
When Chouji's father died and I was at a loss, my friends in Toyama took really good care of us.
That's why, I've promised that I'll definitely invite them to his wedding and now everyone is happy for him, just like family.
But that stupid son of mine wouldn't understand at all.
If he won't have the wedding ceremony no matter what...
Tell him that I will cut ties with him. Okay?
I'm counting on you.
(Tomodachinowa Kindergarten)
Excuse me... Is the vice principal in?
Congratulations.
What?
I heard that you and the vice principal will get married?
- Well, yes. - I wish you happiness.
Hmmm? Bitch, did you just click your tongue?
Hiro!
You came at the right time. I was just about to email you.
What do you want for dinner? Is pasta okay?
Putting that aside... Your mother went to the library.
She wants us to have the reception no matter what.
Just ignore her!
In any case, can you stop fighting with her?
It would be a bother if she comes to my workplace again.
She is the one at fault here.
But she's your mother.
You should apologize to her first...
If I do that, she'll get conceited and will push things on us even more!
Ah~ Such a pest!
Please hold it for me.
Is it okay to ignore the call?
It's okay. I know it's her since I set a different ringtone for her number.
Anyway, shouldn't you talk with her?
It seems that she has her reasons too.
Besides, she's meddlesome because you're precious to her.
Why are you desperately taking her side?
Don't tell me you want to have the reception?
That's out of the question.
Then just ignore her. She's so obstinate!
She and father were all lovey-dovey. So, she decided that marriage is the greatest happiness in life.
She thinks there's something wrong with people who don't get married.
Don't joke with me! You're angry too, right?
That's true, but...
Why am I being stuck between a rock and a hard place?
I'm not allowed to do this.
Please don't say that. I have no one to ask but you.
Oh? Isn't it Tamotsu-kun?!
What seems to be the problem?
Truth is, this lady ask me to go to the ATM to withdraw money for her.
This person is really a good guy.
Scam where someone calls pretending to be a child/grandchild in need of money.
Just now, I was about to get cheated by the "it's me" fraud... But he saved me.
I see!
Right?! He's a good young man that's hard to find nowadays, right?
Please help me.
My legs are so painful. I can't go outside.
- Please. I only have you... - If that's the case, want me to do it for you?
Ouch!
Not you. I can't trust you.
What?!
Please!
I ask of you! Please help me!
I got it.
I'll go and come back as soon as I can.
Your mouth is open, again.
Hey, hey, hey...
How did he become such a splendid young man?
He definitely was brought up well.
I wonder if he has any dreams for the future.
Seems he wants to be a hero of justice.
What?
It's his dream to save the world.
I see.
So cool~
Cool?
Ah, right! Hey, hey, hey...
I want to add something to the rules you decided yesterday.
We're totally free to love somebody else, both of us, right?
Of course.
If you have someone you love, I'll support you with all my strength.
Consult me without reserve.
By the way...
I also want to add another rule.
What is it?
Can you please close the cap of the toothpaste?
When you stand up please neatly put the chair back to its original position.
It bothers me.
It's such a trivial matter.
Were you the same when I dated you?
Back then I put up with it because I like you.
Really?! Is that it?
- And... - What? There's more?
Is it okay to leave your mother alone?
She hasn't been out since she shut herself in a while ago.
Just ignore that obstinate person!
Yes.
Mother. Dinner is ready.
No, thanks. I'm not hungry.
Hey, Hiro-san.
Ah, yes.
Did you hand in your marriage registration?
Ah... about that...
We did. Right, Hiro?
Well... that...
That's something you should tell me before I even get to ask.
Please tell that stupid guy there!
Tell her to quickly go back to Toyama.
A sick person should behave accordingly.
Ha...heartless...
What? Did you just said "heartless"?
I just sneezed.
Ah~
Idiot-choo!
Facing your parent and said what?! "Idiot"?!
I just sneezed.
It started again, their brat fight.
Just so you know, I won't go home if you don't have your reception.
I can't bear to die leaving things like this!
Why do you want us to have a reception that much?
If you want to hear me read my thank you letter to you, I can write you one anytime.
What's with that attitude?! Is this how you talk to your mother who endured a difficult delivery for 24 hours to give birth to you?
There you go. You think that I can't go against you when you say that.
Can you stop insisting to have everything done your way?
You have to understand that there are things that can't be done as you desire!
What do you mean by that?
That is...
Well...
You're annoying. Go back to Toyama already!
If you keep being a fussy mother-in-law,
don't you even realize that you're bothering Hiro.
I'm such an unfortunate parent.
I wish I hadn't given birth to you!
She will really go home.
I have enough. Just leave her alone.
I feel relieved now!
Why are you so against having a wedding reception?
- That's because... - "That's because"... what?
I can't ask to you wear the weeding dress twice.
Just to take the photos last time, I left you with bitter feelings.
If we had a wedding reception we'd have to pretend to be happy newlyweds in front of a lot of people.
I can't make you to do that.
In that case...
Wouldn't it be okay if I wear a white kimono?
What?
Thanks for your hospitality!
Yes. Everything's correctly filled out.
Wait a moment!
Let me borrow this.
Okay. You two properly hold it up. Come on. Hold it up.
Ah~ A bit higher, a bit higher.
Okay? Ready? Happy!
Ah~! Good for you, Chouji!
Congratulations!
Please take care of it.
Hiro-san, thank you.
I'm so happy!
Ah, no...
I have to tell my friends in Toyama right away.
Ah. I'm going to the washroom. Wait for me, okay?
Are you really okay with this, Hiro? You even agreed to the reception.
When we'll go our ways, we can file for a divorce.
And when we're divorced once...
There will be no more prying like "why you're still single at this age?".
I'm really grateful to you. Hiro!
Can I hug you?! Though I'm already hugging you!
When you get married to someone you love...
Be it wedding dress or white kimono, I'll give it to you as a gift.
Don't bother about that.
That definitely won't happen.
Don't say such a sad thing again.
If you put your mind to it, you'll find a good person.
More important than that...
What are you going to do about my pregnancy?
If you keep lying about it, it'll become a bigger problem, right?
No, sorry. Can you please keep lying about that?
I don't want my mother to know that our family's bloodline will end because of me.
You're going to leave it like this?!
What? What did you say?
Like I said, I'm officially married.
To whom?
Of course... to Chouji-san.
Why?
Well, that...
Of course because we love each other.
Doesn't it smell a bit fishy?
What? Wait... What do you mean?
Well, since you came, I smell something funny.
It maybe because of me.
- Surprise! -Ah, wait...
Don't tell me you were there all this time?
This is invisible man magic.
It's my life's work.
Sorry for my rudeness. I finished 2 bags of potato chips this morning...
I farted several times just now.
What an idiot.
So?
What?
What's your business?
Well... that is...
We would like you to attend our wedding.
Good afternoon!
Ah, Hiro-chan! Hiro-chan, congratulations!
Good for you, good for you. Waiting 45 years is finally paying off.
I'm so happy for you! Right, Mom!
You're even more noisy today.
Hey, hey, where are you having your reception?
If you haven't decided yet, how about the place I had mine?
But that place is a bit expensive.
Hey, Mom! What should I wear?
Right, Mom! Will you lend me your diamond necklace?
I want to wear that to their wedding party.
Hey, hey, Mom. What are you going to wear?
I'm not going.
What?! Why?
I'll pass, too.
Not you too, Onii-chan.
Instead, I'll become an invisible man and will always look at you.
I won't let you make Hiro-chan unhappy.
Don't say that. Please come to our wedding.
I'll definitely make Hiro happy.
Then, let me ask you why did you break up?
What?
It's like you traveled around the whole world after you broke up with Hiro.
So what in the world happened?
Well... that...
Well, I... I didn't notice Hiro's real charm.
You might notice it too...
Hiro can do everything perfectly.
Because I was young, I felt a bit inferior to her.
- I understand you. -I understand you.
As always, you're good with your words.
You think so?
Hiro!
You really won't regret it? Marrying this man.
Yes, I won't.
Have you decided on who will give speeches?
Ah. It's in the file in front of you.
Right, right, that one.
Too many.
Can you ask your mother to take some people off?
What happened? You seem all fired up.
"In for a penny, in for a pound".
Now it comes to this, be it cake cutting ceremony or wedding speeches, I'll do anything.
Ah...
Have you decided on the photos to use for our video presentation?
Right, right, about that...
There are so many... I don't know which ones to use...
Hiro. Can you choose the suitable ones from these?
They are all lovely photos.
Really?
Hey, where are yours?
- Here they are. - What?
Just these?!
And... it's only you in all of them.
Don't you have some with your friends?
Because I didn't have anyone like that.
What? Why?
Even when I made friends...
When I got along well with other kids...
They all got mad and became like stalkers.
In the end, "She's so self-important" or "She's full of herself"...
They would start badmouthing me behind my back. And it was always like that since primary school.
Oh! This really takes me back!
Hey, hey, hey. Look at this...! Do you remember this?
What's with this photo?
Wait, you don't remember it?
The first time we went to see a movie together...
When I was taking your photo, you're like "It's embarrassing. Stop it!".
So you took this photo.
Say, do you remember what movie we watched that time?
Of course.
The popcorn we ate that time was delicious.
Right! Hey, let's watch it again!
Together.
What?
Was that a funny scene?
No. I just got reminded.
When we went to see a movie, we always sat in the last row.
You were worried that if we sat in the front, people behind us wouldn't be able to see well.
I...
Rather than the boring movie...
Your loud snoring bothered me the most.
Ah...
Back then I thought how nice it would be to find someone to overcome the wall between men and women
and become best friends like these two in this movie.
Oh?
Aren't we like that right now?
Right?!
I'm a lucky person!
Thank you... Hiro.
Ah... no... nothing.
Ah! I like this scene too! This scene!
What? What's wrong?
No... Nothing.
Congratulations!
- Congratulations. - No way!
Hey, Kamon-san! Are you really getting married?
You don't have to be that surprised...
Ah... I'm sorry.
You see... I still can't marry at this age...
I felt at ease because you were the same.
Eh... You're kidding, right?
No...
Excuse me...
Director. I want to ask you to give a speech...
I want to ask you to give a speech.
No... I can't.
Please don't say that.
There's no one else whom I could ask.
In that case...
Can you let me do that?
What do you mean by "that"?
Since you don't have your parents around anymore, allow me to walk you down the aisle instead...
Just a speech would be fine.
Hiro-san.
I heard about it at the kindergarten.
You're getting married?
And your partner is the principal.
He's the vice principal.
Then, it was out of place for me to confess to you.
No... To put it like that...
Mizumori-san...
If it's okay with you, please come to our wedding reception.
What?
Please do come. I don't have any friends.
There are only the colleagues from the library and my relatives.
Are you sure?
Of course.
Yuu-chan. You come too, okay?
I'm sorry. She's sulking.
Sorry, but could you not come to my workplace?
It's dangerous, so let's stop with the "it's me" fraud, okay?
What if you'll get caught again... Right? Right? Right?
What?
Why are you acting like a good kid?
If you don't cooperate, bring us one million yen.
And we'll let you off.
How can I have that much of money?!
You can just cheat some old women in the neighborhood.
Acting like a good person is an easy job for you...
If you don't,
we'll make a mess out of this office.
So?
Tamotsu-kun, here you are!
The person in the office told me that you could be in the parking lot.
If I disturbed you... should I come back another time?
See you, Tamotsu.
Please take care of the matter by tomorrow.
We'll wait for you at our place of memories.
Some wild and cool young men they are.
Your old friends?
Yeah... right.
Chouji-san. Why did you come today?
Ah! Right, right, right! Tomorrow is our wedding party...
I sent you an email if you're going to come, but you didn't reply back!
I wonder if you're going to come.
When you come out of the bath,
could you please close the cover?
Otherwise, the water will get cold.
Yeah...
Sorry.
What's wrong?
I don't think it's the marriage blues, right?
Hey, Hiro.
Will Tamotsu-kun come?
"Come" to what?
To our wedding of course.
You invited him?
Because we're indebted to him for moving your luggages.
- Besides, Tamotsu-kun... you know... - You like him, don't you?
What? How did you know?
Rather, how could you think it doesn't show?
No...
I'm just worried about Tamotsu-kun because of what I happened to see today.
Some guys he hung out with in the past threatened him into doing something bad.
On top of that, Tamotsu-kun really blamed himself,
because in highschool, he couldn't help his classmate who got abused by those guys and drowned in a river while trying to run away from them.
Ah, hey, hey... Hiro, Hiro... Hey. What should I do?
Is it okay to leave him alone like this?
Even if you tell me that...
Don't be so cold.
Who knows what's going to happen to him if he can't come up with 1 million yen by tomorrow.
Is this the time to worry about others?
The real show is on tomorrow.
We'll have to put up a great performance as a married couple in front of your mother.
Well...
I know that, but...
Have a good night.
Please excuse me.
What's wrong? Mother.
You're quiet today.
I'm overwhelmed with emotion.
It was my dream...
to fix the hair for Chouji's bride.
I see.
I'm sorry, Hiro-san.
Why are you apologizing?
Ah... What? Ah...
Because of my selfishness,
I forced you to have this wedding reception.
Please don't be bothered about it anymore.
More important than that...
Are you really all right?
You're not in good health...
If so I wouldn't feel so bad...
What do you mean by that?
What? Ah... Nothing.
It's nothing.
Maybe I just got nervous because today is the day.
I suddenly need to go to the toilet. Sorry.
Everyone. We're going to take a commemorative photo...
I'm sorry, Hiro. You even have to do this.
What's wrong? Not you too.
"Not you too" what?
Your mother kept apologizing to me before.
She doesn't look very well.
What?
Chouji-kun!
Ah... Friends from Toyama!
Please go upstairs! Yes! Yes! Please go upstairs.
There will be time for you to greet the bride and groom later.
Yes! Please be patient! Please be patient!
- Fujimori-san... - Yes.
She's full of spirit as usual.
You're right.
Are you drunk already? Are you okay?
Yeah.
Sensei!
Thanks for coming today.
Congratulations, Chouji-kun!
In celebration of today,
I will showcase my Iainuki performance that I take pride in.
Iainuki - the art of drawing one's sword, a traditional martial art of Japan.
Ah, very nice.
Sensei. Sensei.
This is my wife, Hiro.
This is Ishii-sensei, mother's physician.
Congratulations.
You're beautiful.
Good for you.
Sensei.
Again, please keep taking good care of Mother.
Yes. I know.
Sensei. Please don't show off too much!
Over here! Over here!
Ah, yes.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much for inviting us here today.
My pleasure...
Come on, Yuu.
Say "congratulations" to them.
Sensei.
What is it, Yuu-chan?
Do you really love Hiro-chan?
What?
I'm sorry.
Of course, the vice principal loves Hiro-san.
Right?
Yes! Of course!
Please make Hiro-san happy.
Yes.
Let's go, Yuu.
Why do I feel like we're being seen through?
It's the entrance of the bride and groom. Please welcome them with a grand applause.
Congratulations! Good for you!
Hiro-chan. Congratulations!
I'm sorry. My husband couldn't make it because he's on a business trip.
Congratulations!
You're really a big help, going to the bank for me again.
Don't mention it... I'll be back really soon.
Okay.
Please give them a big applause again.
The bride, Hiro-san, since she was young,
be it studies, sports, or the arts,
she had the ability to excel in every field.
During her university time, with a bamboo sword,
she splendidly punished the upperclassmen
who gave physical punishment to their underclassmen in Kendo club.
There was an episode like that.
Sensei...
Thank you very much for your encouragement.
(Deshimaru Tamotsu-sama)
And now, please allow the couple to leave their seats for a moment to change their attires.
Hey, Hiro. Maybe he won't come? Tamotsu-kun.
I'm supposed to change clothes right now. Please knock.
Ah, sorry.
You know, I just called but he didn't answer.
Ah! He called back!
Hello. Tamotsu-kun. Where are you?
I'm sorry, Chouji-san.
Today, I can't come after all.
Don't be like this. Just show your face for a short while.
I'm...not qualified to attend your wedding party.
Listen to me... you don't possibly plan on doing something stupid, do you?
Doing that won't make your late friend happy!
I'm hanging up.
Ah... What? Tamotsu-kun? Tamotsu-kun!
Hello?...
Hey... What should I do, Hiro?
Tamotsu-kun. He's going to do something bad!
If you don't start preparing now we won't make it for the candle ceremony.
Again with your cold-hearted attitude!
Don't be like that. Do something to stop him, please.
Enough already!
Do you remember why I am here?
It's all because you asked me to.
You're right.
- Then... - Then, I'll go alone.
What?
It'll be all right.
The bride is the main attraction at a reception anyway.
I'm counting on you, Hiro.
Just tell them I don't feel well or anything appropriate.
I come here for you and you pull a Houchi play on me?!
Houchi Play - to tie someone up and leave (BDSM term)
Tamotsu. Did you bring it?
The thing that you promised.
Can you make this the last time?
Don't make such a scary face. Hurry up and hand it over.
No~!
Tamotsu-kun! No! No! No!
What do you want, old man?
This is a problem between us friends.
If you're friends, please stop dragging someone who
repented and tries his hardest to rebuild his life, onto the wrong path again.
This is the place that your precious friend died, right?
You must have felt painful and lonely at school and at home, right?
When you wanted to have someone by your side...
instead you would have been beaten or told to go die, right?
But don't be defeated by that!
If you're okay with me, I can always give you advice!
Therefore everyone, you're victims of this unfair society and miserable home environments.
Stop putting a curse on yourself!
Okay?
No way?!
Get away!
Hey! What do you think you're doing?!
Tamotsu-kun. Stop it!
Hey, wait! Please spare my face! Spare my face!
Stop it!!
Then hurry up and hand over the bankbook and the card.
No!! Tamotsu. Don't hand it over!
- What will you do, Tamotsu? - Ouch, ouch. Wait...!
I got it.
I got it. Stop already!!
Hey!
I said stop!
Didn't you say you wanted to be hero of justice?
Shut up, old lady!
Hiro~!
But why are you here?
Truth is, I also hate them.
"Turn a blind eye" and "Consumption tax exemption".
What?
What do you mean?
He hates those words.
Then what words do you like?
"World peace" and "Free large serving of rice".
What are you mumbling about?
Finish them.
You bitch! Ouch!
You bitch!
As expected. Hiro!
Ah, but...what about our reception?!
For the time being...
I've asked somebody we can rely on to make his speech as long as possible.
Well~ I was just given an introduction.
I'm Sudou Izumi, Director of Fumino Izumi Library.
Well...
Please excuse me... Ah, I'm sorry.
Well...
Well... marriage is...
You bitch! Bring it on!
You wouldn't understand.
What it's like to live a life without anyone to worry about you.
One day, you suddenly disappear and no one will search for you.
No one will mourn you.
From now on too, I shall live only among the vermin and scum.
Shut up!
It's a passage from the book "Travels through Heaven" by Miura Shion.

You guys said that...
this young man is your friend.
But when he has a hard time or feels lonely,
do you really worry about him?
If he disappeared,
would you really search for him?
Would you really mourn for him?
Shut up!
I don't remember doing anything like that ever.
I've got too much pride,
In my mind, I look down on people.
I can't accept people with a different personality.
You guys too...
will understand when you get to my age.
Things like movies you watched together before...
To have friends to talk about happy memories...
That's real happiness.
Shut up.
Right now this young man
is searching for true friends.
Why don't you do the same?
You can't choose your family...
But you can choose your friends.
About earlier... thank you very much.
If you want to express your thanks, say it to him.
Ah, Chouji-san. Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm okay. I'm okay.
Ah, by the way...
- What? - Will you come to our wedding now?
- Okay? - What?
If we don't hurry, it will end.
I already thought this might happen, so
I've asked another reliable person.
Well...
On the count of 3 I will put everyone here to sleep.
Here I go. One. Two. Three!
What?
Director.
- Yes. Thank you very much. - And now, to conclude my performance,
- I will perform the legendary escape magic... - What an idiot!
invented by the legendary magician Harry Houdini.
As expected of you, Hiro!
I pressed the camera button in my mind again!
Okay!
Let's go. Tamotsu-kun.
But...
I have to return this and apologize.
Oh, right.
Then, I'll see you off.
Ah... It still hurts a little.
What is this noise in my chest...?
It's okay. I'm almost there.
My arms are almost free now.
It's okay... Ouch! It's okay. Just a bit more!
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long.
What?
Enter bride and groom.
- Aunt. Thank you for... - Sorry. Can you give me a light?
Hey, Mom, stop it.
Whatever. But isn't your face swollen up?
What? Ah, no... It's your imagination.
I didn't even dream about being able to fulfill my filial piety at this age anymore.
Mother.
Until now, I've only caused you worries and hardships...
I'm sorry!
And...
I'm really grateful to you
for raising me all on your own.
And, Hiro.
For giving me the chance to fulfill my filial duty,
I'm really grateful to you.
Thank you, Hiro!
What's the matter, mother?
Please don't cry that much.
Hiro-san.
I'm so sorry.
What's wrong?
Are you not feeling well?
That's not it.
Then, you're too happy?
That's not it.
Then, why?
I'm very healthy~!
What?
I'm healthy!
I'm not sick!
I don't have cancer!
What?
I lied!
I feigned illness!
Bitch, why did you lie?!
