**[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.

**[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**
Today, I'm going to enjoy some terrain.

***SIGN*** How are you doing, Rika-san?
***SIGN*** Tokyo, you say? I'm not in Tokyo right now,
but enjoy the city.
**[05:13] 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!*

**[06:39] Rika**
A threatening call?
**[06:40] Takuya**
I'm not sure if it was a threat or not.
**[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.
**[07:53] Takuya**
*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.
**[08:20] Takuya**
I'll make it up to you!
**[08:22] Takuya**
I'll put Nyaru on your food for a month!

Did your cat give his consent?
**[08:44] Takuya**
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.
**[09:00] Takuya**
They're yours to use.
**[09:03] Rika**
I went and bought some camouflage supplies.
**[09:06] Takuya**
Camouflage?
**[09:07] Rika**
Items couples would be likely to use.
**[09:10] Rika**
I thought we'd use these to change this
into a couple's apartment.
**[09:14] Takuya**
W-Wow.
**[09:15] Rika**
Let's hurry.
**[09:17] Rika**
This is a checklist of items.

A doorplate for the entrance!
**[09:29] Takuya**
Matching toothbrushes
and cups at the sink, check!
**[09:32] Takuya**
I placed the paired cushions on the bed.
**[09:34] Rika**
Got it. Where's your cat?
**[09:37] Takuya**
He's in the adjoining room.
**[09:40] Takuya**
That's where he spends most of his time.
**[09:41] Rika**
I see.

***SIGN*** Profile List
***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.*

to the Ohara family.
**[19:34] Rika**
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.*
***SIGN*** Today
***SIGN*** Ohara-kun, I'm with your father right now.
We'll be waiting at Z Coffee.
***SIGN*** Z Coffee
**[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!
