[00:01] Rika
    Why don't we get married?
[00:06] Takuya
    Huh?
[00:07] Rika
    I don't mean a real marriage. Just pretend.
[00:10] Takuya
    Pretend?
[00:11] Rika
    That's right.
[00:12] Rika
    Kurokawa-san was saying unmarried
    people will be prioritized.
[00:17] Rika
    So if we were to make it so we're married...
[00:21] Takuya
    Well, I'm on board with trying it.
[00:25] Takuya
    The fake marriage.
[00:26] everyone
    Congratulations!
[00:30] both
    A surprise party?
[00:32] Takuya
    H-How about these words?
[00:34] Rika
    Y-Yes?
[00:37] Takuya
    P—
SIGN    Please marry me.
[00:43] Rika
    Ohara-kun, please take your time
    thinking of a proposal.
[00:48] Rika
    I'll wait as long as it takes.
[00:57] Takuya
    All right.
SIGN    What Does It Mean to Get Married?
[02:37] Takuya
    Kama, settle down.
[02:42] Takuya
    Since yesterday, Kama
    won't leave my shirt alone.
[02:45] Takuya
    Maybe Honjoji-san's scent got on there.
[02:52] Takuya
    Wonder if I should put on the wedding ring.
[02:56] Takuya
    Why wasn't I able to say anything?
[02:59] Takuya
    Pretty pathetic, for a fake proposal.
[03:02] Takuya
    It was like I had a lump in my throat.
[03:04] Takuya
    What with someone that close,
[03:08] Takuya
    gazing at me.
[03:34] Takuya
    I can't do it.
[03:50] Rika
    Wow!
[03:52] Rika
    What a long beach! It even has dunes!
[03:54] Rika
    It's not white sands and
    green pines, but it's nice.
[03:57] Rika
    It took three and a half hours,
    but I'm glad I came!
[04:03] Rika
    Look at those big wind turbines turning.
[04:05] Rika
    The power of nature is amazing!
[04:06] man
    I'll say!
[04:08] Rika
    Whoops, I got a little carried away.
[04:12] Rika
    Too many special events have happened lately.
[04:15] Rika
    The party, crowds, the Ferris wheel, singing.
[04:19] Rika
    It's stifling.
[04:21] Rika
    I look at coastlines and collect
    maps, stones, and sand.
[04:26] Rika
    Those are the sorts of things I love.
[04:30] Rika
    Marriage is so dazzling,
    the idea is downright exhausting.
[04:35] Rika
    Even if it is fake.
[04:39] Rika

    Leave me alone.
[05:25] (Flashback) Rika
    It was like an ordinary life.
[05:29] Takuya
    I'm too irresponsible.
[05:32] Takuya
    Am I going to sit here forever
    and do nothing?
[05:35] Takuya
    How old am I, again?
[05:37] Takuya
    Is this how an adult acts?
[05:47] Takuya
    H-Huh?
[05:50] Takuya
    I put the ring on, and
    suddenly, my doubts are gone.
[05:58] Takuya
    It's weird. Right now I feel
    like I could do anything.
[06:02] Takuya
    No, there's something I must do
    as long as I'm wearing this ring.
[06:06] Takuya
    I'll become a fine husband for Honjoji-san!

[06:43] Rika
    Do you know who it was from?
[06:45] Takuya
    I couldn't tell.
[06:47] Takuya
    The voice sounded synthesized.
[06:49] Takuya
    I'm not even sure of their gender.
[06:51] Rika
    They know about Alaska.
[06:53] Rika
    That means whoever made
    the call must work here?!
[06:59] Gonda
    Excuse me.
[07:00] Gonda
    Ohara-san, do you have a minute?
[07:03] Takuya
    G-G-Gonda?! What is it?
[07:07] Gonda
    Well...
[07:08] Gonda
    Would you mind if I came over tonight?
[07:11] Takuya
    To my place? What for?
[07:13] Gonda
    I just want to discuss something.
[07:16] Takuya
    What's going on here?
    He's never done anything like this.
[07:20] Takuya
    I-It's too suspicious.
[07:22] Gonda
    What do you think? Can I come over?
[07:28] Takuya
    Sure, by all means!
[07:29] Rika
    We'd love to have you, Gonda-san.
[07:31] Takuya
    Huh? You too, Honjoji-san?
[07:33] Rika
    Of course, I'll come over too.
[07:36] Gonda
    Look at you lovebirds.
    I wouldn't be intruding?
[07:39] Takuya
    Not at all, not at all.
[07:41] Gonda
    Thanks a lot!
[07:42] Gonda
    See you tonight!
[07:45] Takuya
    I'm sorry about this.
[07:47] Rika
    M-Me too.

    What is Gonda up to?
[07:56] Rika
    Is Gonda-kun the one who made that call?
[07:59] Takuya/Rika
    We have to keep him from finding out!
[08:03] Takuya
    Kama, listen. This is important.
[08:08] Takuya
    Some of my coworkers are coming over here.
[08:11] Takuya
    I know it's probably inconvenient for you,
    but please bear with me.
[08:15] Takuya
    Please, Kama! This is so important!
[08:18] Takuya
    My future and yours are riding on it.

    Well...
[08:45] Takuya
    "Whatever. I'll put up with it
    for about an hour."
[08:49] Takuya
    That's the look he gave me.
[08:52] Rika
    Aha.
[08:54] Rika
    So, this is Ohara-kun's apartment.
[08:56] Takuya
    Here.
[08:57] Takuya
    You can use these slippers.
[08:59] Rika
    Oh, don't make a fuss.

    They're yours to use.
[09:03] Rika
    I went and bought some camouflage supplies.

[09:10] Rika
    I thought we'd use these to change this
    into a couple's apartment.

SIGN    Our first meeting
     When Ohara-kun was 22 and Honjoji was 24,
    we met while in Singapore for rookie training.
    At the time, we each got a passing impression
     that the other was optimistic about the job.
    
     First date
     On the anniversary of our first meeting
     (Saturday 10/12) we went on a date to
     Yokohama Space Land. Ohara-kun won a
     pig plushie from a UFO catcher, and we still
     have it on display.
    
    How we refer to each other
     It's still "Ohara-kun" and "Honjoji-san,"
    but we're working toward switching to
    "Takuya-kun" and "Rika-san."
    
     Favorite type of pancake
     Honjoji: banana
    Ohara: strawberry and hazelnut
[09:44] Takuya
    We first met during rookie training,
    and that was in...
[09:49] Takuya
    Singapore.
[09:51] Rika
    My favorite kind of pancake is banana,
    and yours is strawberry and hazelnut.
[09:56] Rika
    We're planning to honeymoon
    in Tahiti or the Maldives.
[09:59] Takuya
    Profile confirmation, done.
[10:01] Rika
    Agreed.
[10:03] Rika
    Next are photos to decorate the apartment.
[10:05] Rika
    I collected reference images
    from the internet.
[10:07] Takuya
    W-Wow!
[10:12] Takuya
    Well...
[10:13] Rika
    I think that's good.
[10:15] Takuya
    You know,
[10:16] Takuya
    this is like the day before an event.
[10:19] Rika
    That it is.
[10:20] Rika
    Like a cultural festival
    from our school days.
[10:23] Takuya
    Is this what your cultural
    festivals were like?
[10:26] Rika
    Well, I was always a tree in a stage play.
[10:31] Takuya
    It was more less like that for me too.
[10:33] Takuya
    It's easy to really get into the tree role.
[10:36] Rika
    And it has so much depth once you do.
[10:40] Rika
    So, preparations are complete.
[10:42] Takuya
    He can show up anytime!
[10:44] Takuya
    There he is!
[10:46] Takuya
    Hello!
[10:48] Rika
    Welcome!
[10:49] Gonda
    Hi, Ohara-san!
[10:51] Itsuki/Komiya
    We're here too.
[10:53] Takuya/Rika
    Three of them?
[10:57] Itsuki
    Okay, one more time.
[10:59] Gonda
    Congrats on getting engaged!
[11:01] Komiya
    I bought lots of drinks!
[11:04] Takuya
    Th-Thanks.
[11:06] Takuya
    This is going to run long, Honjoji-san.
[11:08] Takuya
    Isn't this a state of emergency?
[11:11] Rika
    It's okay. Just do as we practiced.
[11:15] Takuya
    So, Gonda. What did you
    want to discuss today?
[11:18] Gonda
    Yeah, about that, Ohara-san.
[11:24] Gonda
    Please teach me how to get hitched!
[11:27] Takuya
    Huh?
[11:28] Gonda
    I want to get married too,
    but it's not going well at all.
[11:32] Gonda
    I thought I'd ask you for some pointers.
[11:36] Itsuki
    Gonda is on seven online dating apps.
[11:39] Komiya
    You use that many of them?!
[11:41] Gonda
    Cut that out, Keisuke-san!
[11:43] Gonda
    Komiya-chan heard you!
[11:45] Itsuki
    Give up on those apps.
[11:45] Takuya
    What's happening here?
[11:47] Itsuki
    Oh, date photos.
[11:49] Gonda
    That's in Yokohama.
[11:50] Komiya
    How long have you been dating?
[11:52] Takuya
    Since rookie training.
[11:54] Rika
    Everyone, help yourself to snacks!
[11:57] Itsuki
    Honjoji-san is...
[11:58] Gonda
    ...smiling!
[11:59] Komiya
    It's like she's filled with happiness!
[12:02] Gonda
    This'll be one legendary marriage.
[12:05] Itsuki
    I still can't believe no one
    at work realized.
[12:08] Rika
    I-I need to use the restroom.
[12:10] Itsuki
    Learn while you're here, Gonda.
[12:12] Gonda
    I'm ready for my training, Master!
[12:16] Takuya
    I wish someone would teach me.
[12:20] Takuya
    I'm not sure what I should say.
[12:23] Takuya
    Suddenly I'm surrounded by everyone,
    getting peppered with questions.
[12:28] Takuya
    Is marriage that great?
[12:31] Takuya
    I said I would get married, and
    I put on a ring, but that's all.
[12:37] Takuya
    I haven't changed at all.
[12:42] Takuya
    Is marriage...
[12:44] Takuya
    Is marriage really that great?
[12:48] Komiya
    It is amazing!
[12:50] Gonda
    It sounds snide when you
    talk like that, Ohara-san!
[12:53] Gonda
    You should just be happy about it!
[12:55] Komiya
    That's right!
[12:57] Itsuki
    They speak the truth.
[13:02] Komiya
    Thanks for having us.
[13:04] Itsuki
    Thank you for today.
[13:06] Takuya
    See you.
[13:07] Gonda
    Ohara-san.
[13:11] Gonda
    Between you and me.
[13:12] Takuya
    Wh-What?
[13:14] Gonda
    I've actually got my eye on Komiya-chan.
[13:17] Takuya
    What?
[13:18] Gonda
    I'd be happy for any support you can offer!
[13:25] Itsuki
    Let's go get some ramen, Gonda.
[13:27] Gonda
    Ow, ow, ow.
[13:29] Komiya
    Marriage would be great.
[13:30] Takuya
    You mean Gonda really only
    came over to get some advice?
[13:36] Takuya
    Then who was it that made that call?
[13:40] Takuya
    I'm home.
[13:42] Rika
    Welcome back.
[13:43] Takuya
    Th-Thanks...
[13:45] Takuya
    I came back through the door on auto-pilot.
[13:51] Rika
    I will never play host again.
[13:54] Takuya
    Agreed.
[13:57] Rika
    I feel the same way as you, Ohara-kun.
[13:59] Rika
    I don't understand why everyone celebrates
    so much because we're getting married.
[14:04] Rika
    It's not like it's their marriage.
[14:07] Takuya
    Apparently, it looks like
    we're glowing to all of them.
[14:11] Takuya
    Like lights.
[14:12] Rika
    I bet it's the ones who can see
    that light who will get married.
[14:17] Rika
    I can't see it at all.
[14:22] Rika
    And I probably won't, down the road.
[14:24] Rika
    That's not the sort of life I'm leading.
[14:32] Takuya
    Uh, but... I have a feeling you can
    see the light without getting married.
[14:38] Takuya
    I have Kama, and when I come home from work,
    and he and I eat and watch TV,
[14:44] Takuya
    I feel like I'm glowing then.
[14:46] Rika
    That's what glowing is?
[14:48] Takuya
    It might be something a little different.
[14:51] Takuya
    But it's enough for me.
[14:54] Takuya
    Honjoji-san, do you have anything like that?
[14:57] Rika
    I think so. When I come home
    and look at maps.
[15:02] Takuya
    Do you enjoy that?
[15:04] Rika
    I do! Maps are so interesting!
[15:06] Rika
    Places like Eboshi Island in Fukushima
    are a page of nothing but ocean,
[15:10] Rika
    and one little island all by itself! Also—
[15:12] Takuya
    That would be glowing.
[15:15] Rika
    I-I'm not... glowing at all.
[15:26] Rika
    W-Well, I'd best be going.
[15:30] Takuya
    R-Right. See you tomorrow.
[15:36] Rika
    My chest feels tight.
[15:39] Rika
    It's because I'm not
    used to being around a man.
[15:42] Rika
    It'll be no big deal, soon enough.
[15:45] Rika
    It's not like I'm in junior high.
[15:48] Takuya
    Honjoji-san was wonderful today.
[15:52] Takuya
    Whoa, don't get all weird now.
[15:54] Takuya
    We're just working together on this.
[15:58] Takuya/Rika
    I can't get the wrong idea.

    E-Excuse me!
[19:35] Rika
    Um, Ohara-kun is currently out.
[19:39] Rika
    I'll give him a call.
[19:41] Koichi
    No need to trouble yourself.
[19:44] Rika
    It's no problem.
    Please come wait over this way.
[19:48] Rika
    I've got to get away from the office.

[19:55] customer
    I'm glad it all worked out all right.
[20:01] Rika
    I want to talk to him, but what do I say
    when things are this tense?
[20:07] Rika
    Um, earlier you mentioned
    Ohara-kun ruining your family.
[20:11] Rika
    What does that mean?
[20:16] Koichi
    It's problematic if he arbitrarily goes and
    decides on something important like marriage.
[20:21] Koichi
    Marriages require a range of preparations.
[20:26] Koichi
    That includes preparing the dolls.
[20:28] Rika
    Dolls?
[20:29] Koichi
    Takasago dolls, on display during
    the betrothal gift exchange.
[20:32] Koichi
    Those are essential.
[20:34] Koichi
    Then there are the decorative knots, the red
    sea bream served whole, and kimono and sake.
[20:39] Koichi
    Much has to happen,
    starting with the gift exchange.
[20:42] Rika
    Exchanging betrothal gifts.
[20:45] Rika
    I hadn't planned to take it that far,
    so it never crossed my mind.
[20:48] Koichi
    I also have to notify the group.
[20:51] Rika
    Group?
[20:52] Koichi
    The local assembly.
[20:54] Koichi
    We live out in the country in Aso, so
    there are a number of things to do locally.
[20:59] Koichi
    Bonds run deep out there,
[21:01] Koichi
    so when a wedding happens,
    we invite neighbors and coworkers.
[21:06] Koichi
    It will mean two hundred people, all told.
[21:09] Rika
    T-Two hundred?!
[21:13] Koichi
    And we reserve a hot spring resort.
[21:16] Koichi
    The festivities go all day
    and late into the night.
[21:19] Rika
    For that long?
[21:21] Koichi
    During this, we do dances like
    the Ushibuka Haiya.
[21:25] Rika
    U-Ushibuka Haiya?
    What kind of dance is that?
[21:28] Koichi
    The local firefighters
    put on quite a good show.
[21:32] Rika
    Why are firefighters at a wedding?!
[21:34] Koichi
    Then finally, we toss
    the bride into the air.
[21:36] Rika
    Toss...?
[21:37] attendees
    Heave ho!
[21:38] Rika
    What?!
[21:41] Rika
    Wh-What a big event.
[21:43] Koichi
    That's an Aso-style wedding.
[21:46] Koichi
    Takuya is my eldest son.
    If his wedding isn't done properly,
[21:50] Koichi
    our family will lose face!
SIGN    Understood. Thank you.
