[01:50] Hiro
    Our shrine does weddings, among other things.
[01:54] Hiro
    We've been talking about updating it a little.
[01:57] Nagi
    I see.
[01:59] Nagi
    Jeez. I was totally under the impression...
[02:02] Hiro
    And a bride is a lead role.
[02:04] Nagi
    Which means...
[02:06] Hiro
    In other words,
[02:08] Hiro
    you and I are going to be the bride
    and groom in the pamphlet.

    Let's do it.
[02:26] Hiro
    Great!
[02:28] Hiro
    Okay, I'll go discuss it with Mom.
[02:31] Nagi
    Okay!
[02:33] Hiro's Mom
    Absolutely not.
[02:35] Hiro's Mom
    You can't be serious!
[02:37] Hiro's Mom
    You're engaged.
[02:39] Hiro's Mom
    You, hold a wedding?!
[02:41] Hiro's Mom
    You're supposed to be confined here.
[02:43] Hiro's Mom
    Why not spend your time
    reflecting at the shrine instead,
[02:47] Hiro's Mom
    U-kun?!
[02:48] Nagi
    She knows about it!
[02:51] Hiro
    We know it isn't your fault,
    so she agreed to take you in.
[02:57] Hiro
    But I guess a wedding was a bit too much.
[03:01] Nagi
    Sorry I can't be of any help.
[03:03] Hiro
    That just gets me even more fired up.
[03:06] Hiro
    We're just getting started, Umino-kun.
[03:10] Hiro's Mom
    Oh, my.
[03:12] Hiro's Mom
    Who might have tidied up here?
[03:17] Nagi
    There.
[03:19] Hiro's Mom
    Did you do the cleaning?
[03:22] Nagi
    Please, get some rest.
[03:24] Nagi
    I don't mean this in exchange, but—
[03:26] Hiro's Mom
    Nope.
[03:28] Hiro's Mom
    This was supposed to be a job
    for the part-time worker.
[03:32] Hiro's Mom
    This just makes things more complicated.
[03:37] Nagi
    I've wiped the floors in the halls, too.
[03:40] Hiro's Mom
    I appreciate your enthusiasm,
[03:42] Hiro's Mom
    but Hiro has a fiancé.
[03:48] Hiro
    Well, shoot.
[03:50] Hiro
    So that didn't work, either.
[03:52] Nagi
    Forgive my ineffectiveness!
[03:55] Hiro
    We're just getting started.
[03:58] Hiro
    Have you given up, Umino-kun?
[04:01] Nagi
    Your mother made it clear that we can't.
[04:04] Hiro
    That's how it always is.
[04:08] Hiro
    No matter how many times we fail,
    we only need to succeed once to win.
[04:14] Nagi
    I see.
[04:16] Nagi
    Segawa-san is who she is now
    because she battles her mother.
[04:23] Hiro's Mom
    That boy, Umino-kun,
    has driven Hiro to do so much.
[04:29] Hiro's Mom
    Just who is he?
[04:31] Hiro's Dad
    All right, then.
[04:33] Hiro's Dad
    I'll deal with it!
[04:35] Nagi
    That's great, Segawa-san.
[04:44] Hiro's Dad
    Well, well, well... You must be Umino-kun!
[04:50] Nagi
    Yes, but, uh...
[04:52] Nagi
    Who might you be?
[04:54] Hiro
    Dad...
[04:58] Hiro's Dad
    I challenge you to a sumo match!
[05:01] Hiro's Dad
    Defeat me, and I will allow the wedding.
[05:05] Hiro's Dad
    Ready...
[05:07] Nagi
    What is even going on here?!
[05:11] Nagi
    Then again...
[05:13] Nagi
    I don't have a choice!
[05:16] Hiro's Dad
    Nokotta!
[05:20] Hiro
    Umino-kun!
[05:22] Hiro's Dad
    Heave-ho!
[05:28] Hiro
    Splat.
[05:30] Nagi
    Wait, wait! There's no way!
[05:32] Hiro's Dad
    All right, approved!
[05:34] Nagi
    Why?!
[05:35] Hiro
    Nice!
[05:38] Hiro's Dad
    Splendid!
[05:41] Hiro's Dad
    Sumo is not all about winning.
[05:44] Hiro's Dad
    Your courage in facing me is worthy of praise.
[05:48] Hiro's Dad
    I like you, Umino-kun!
[05:51] Nagi
    I never thought I'd be taking a bath
    with Segawa-san's dad, though...
[05:57] Hiro's Dad
    Me coming to this shrine is
    why Hiro's in such a bind.
[06:04] Hiro's Dad
    Her mom and I were
    married by our parents' will.
[06:10] Nagi
    You were?!
[06:12] Hiro's Dad
    This shrine has a 1,300-year history.
[06:15] Hiro's Dad
    There's a lot going on.
[06:18] Hiro's Dad
    I was 23 and Asami-san was 21 when I was
    adopted into the family as her groom.
[06:28] Hiro's Dad
    When we first met, she seemed
    like such an adorable lady.
[06:38] (Flashback) Hiro's Dad
    Erm...
[06:39] (Flashback) Hiro's Dad
    Is something the matter?
[06:41] (Flashback) Hiro's Mom
    Am I marrying such a giant man?
[06:52] Hiro's Dad
    Even after we got married, my feelings
    for her went unrequited for a time.
[06:58] Nagi
    That must have been difficult.
[07:01] Hiro's Dad
    Not at all.
[07:03] Hiro's Dad
    I've married a fantastic woman. I'm happy.
[07:06] Hiro's Dad
    Which is why I want Hiro to
    marry whomever she chooses.
[07:14] Hiro's Dad
    Asami-san married me to protect this shrine.
[07:18] Hiro's Dad
    But I'm sure she still has her regrets.
[07:22] Hiro's Dad
    If she hadn't been engaged to me,
[07:24] Hiro's Dad
    she might be much happier right now.
[07:28] Hiro's Dad
    Not a day goes by that I don't consider it.
[07:32] Hiro's Dad
    All right, that's enough time in the bath!
[07:34] Nagi
    Yes, sir!
[07:40] Nagi
    Yakisoba!
[07:43] Hiro's Dad
    Umino-kun, are you all right?!
[07:45] Hiro's Dad
    You're gonna catch a cold,
    letting your yakisoba bun hang out like that!
[07:56] Hiro's Mom
    You may allow it, but I will not.
[08:00] Hiro's Mom
    How would you face your fiancé
    with a pamphlet like that out there?
[08:06] Hiro
    I'm not marrying my fiancé.
[08:11] Hiro's Mom
    Here we go again.
[08:14] Hiro's Mom
    Why, exactly, are you so adamantly against it?
[08:18] Hiro
    Because I've seen you and Dad.
[08:21] Hiro
    I know marrying someone arranged by
    my parents isn't going to make me happy.
[08:25] Hiro's Mom
    My!
[08:29] Hiro
    Why do I have to get married
    when it isn't going to make me happy?
[08:33] Hiro
    I'll protect the shrine without doing that!
[08:36] Hiro's Mom
    This isn't about just you!
[08:39] Hiro's Mom
    What would you know?!
[08:41] Hiro
    You're the one who doesn't get it!
[08:43] Hiro's Dad
    Why don't you allow her already?!
[08:47] Hiro's Dad
    Asami-san, it's just a wedding photo!
[08:50] Hiro's Dad
    It's fiction!
[08:53] Hiro's Mom
    That isn't what we're discussing right now.
[08:55] Hiro's Mom
    I take issue with you, too.
[08:58] Hiro's Mom
    You may be large,
    but you're utterly helpless.
[09:02] Hiro's Mom
    You can't button your shirts,
[09:05] Hiro's Mom
    you keep breaking things...
[09:08] Hiro's Dad
    I didn't do anything to tear it.
[09:08] Hiro's Mom
    And how many tabi socks have you torn?
[09:12] Nagi
    Uh-oh.
[09:13] Hiro's Mom
    You've destroyed the shrine ceiling.
[09:15] Hiro's Mom
    You've made kids cry
    during their shrine visits.
[09:18] Hiro's Mom
    All you can manage to do without me is sumo!
[09:22] Hiro's Dad
    Sumo!
[09:23] Hiro
    Dad, be strong!
[09:25] Nagi
    Huh?
[09:26] Hiro
    And you, Mom!
[09:28] Hiro
    You could at least say he can't
    take care of anything around him!
[09:34] Nagi
    Isn't that what that is about?
[09:39] Nagi
    Segawa-san's mother is always with her father.
[09:45] Nagi
    You've seen him all the time.
[09:47] Nagi
    You know him inside-out.
[09:50] Nagi
    You wouldn't do that if you hated him.
[09:54] Nagi
    That's how much you love him, isn't it?
[10:00] Hiro's Mom
    To say out loud that I love him
    is such a Western notion...
[10:07] Nagi
    Is he roaring?!
[10:08] Hiro
    Don't cry, Dad.
[10:13] Hiro
    Thanks, Umino-kun.
[10:16] Nagi
    Huh?
[10:17] Hiro
    I got to know something about
    my family that I didn't before.
[10:20] Hiro
    Mom used to hate Dad, but she
    started liking him over time, I guess.
[10:26] Nagi
    Seems like it.
[10:28] Hiro
    I found that out in the short time
    that you've been here.
[10:33] Hiro
    I wonder if I'd learn more if we married.
[10:39] Hiro
    Kidding.
[10:40] Nagi
    Kidding?!
[10:43] Hiro
    But...
[10:46] Hiro
    Maybe I'm free to have
    my own relationships now.
[10:53] Hiro
    I mean, it doesn't matter why you
    got married in the beginning.
[10:57] Hiro
    What matters is that you're happy now, right?
[11:01] Hiro
    That means it doesn't have to
    be the person I'm engaged to.
[11:10] Hiro
    Hey, Umino-kun...
[11:13] Nagi
    Yes? What is it?!
[11:17] Hiro
    I...
[11:20] Hiro's Dad
    Hey, you two!
[11:23] Hiro's Dad
    I've changed my mind!
[11:25] Hiro's Dad
    Hiro, you are to marry your fiancé!
[11:29] Hiro's Dad
    I've thought it through and realized
[11:31] Hiro's Dad
    that marrying your fiancé is
    the best way to find happiness!
[11:36] Hiro
    What are you talking about?!
[11:39] Hiro
    Mom, please, say something!
[11:41] Hiro's Mom
    He's absolutely right.
[11:43] Hiro
    Come on!
[12:01] Hiro
    Umino-kun.
[12:02] Hiro
    We officially got permission to do the wedding.
[12:07] Nagi
    You did it!
[12:09] Hiro
    It's all thanks to you.
[12:11] Nagi
    Did I do something?
[12:14] Hiro
    Mom isn't convinced yet...
[12:17] (Flashback) Hiro's Dad
    Please, Asami-san!
    Don't you want to see it, as a parent?!
[12:17] Hiro
    But Dad was desperate to see me
    as a bride, so he convinced her.
[12:22] Hiro
    All right, let's do this!
[12:26] Nagi
    I definitely haven't done anything, have I?

    You don't smile like that outside the shrine.

    You look good, Umino-kun!
[13:24] Nagi
    Do I?
[13:27] Nagi
    Man, I'm getting nervous
    now that I have the outfit on.
[13:32] Nagi
    We're really doing this wedding, aren't we?
[13:36] Nagi
    I know it's make-believe, but...
[13:38] Hiro
    Umino-kun, it's crooked.
[13:47] Hiro
    By the way...
[13:49] Nagi
    What... was that about?
[13:53] Hiro
    What was what about?
[13:54] Nagi
    At school, I mean...
[13:56] Nagi
    Oh, no, that was an accident.
[13:58] Nagi
    That was nothing, right?

    There's no such thing as a meaningless kiss.

    White is for the bride!

    Right.

    at the same place as where you pray.
[20:12] Ai
    It's invigorating.
[20:15] Ai
    Speaking of which, where's Sachi-chan?
[20:17] Erika
    Oh, her?
[20:20] (Flashback) Sachi
    I have exams coming up.
[20:23] (Flashback) Sachi
    And I'm not interested.
[20:25] Erika
    She couldn't make it because
    she has mock exams.
[20:27] Ai
    I see.
[20:32] Officiator
    Please welcome the bride and the groom.
[20:37] Hiro's Dad
    Beautiful, Hiro!
[20:38] Hiro's Dad
    You're fantastic!
[20:39] Hiro's Dad
    So cute!
[20:40] Hiro's Dad
    You look just like Asami-san
    when she was younger!
[20:44] Nagi
    It's happening.
[20:46] Hiro
    It's pretty unnerving even
    for a fake wedding, huh?
[20:50] Nagi
    Yeah...
[20:53] Nagi
    The time has come!
[21:02] Nagi
    Today, Segawa-san is
    definitely the lead role.
[21:06] Nagi
    And I, standing next to her...
[21:10] Officiator
    You may now kiss.
[21:12] Erika
    What? They're actually gonna kiss?!
[21:15] Officiator
    It's a Reiwa-style Shinto wedding.
[21:18] Erika
    A what?
[21:19] Erika
    I mean, I get that it'll feel
    a bit dull without it, but...
[21:23] Ai
    I'm against this.
[21:27] Erika
    Is it just me, or are
    Nagi-kun's eyes bloodshot?
[21:30] Ai
    I can't stand to look, even if it's fake.
[21:38] Nagi
    Will...
[21:41] Nagi
    Will this day...
[21:48] Nagi
    come for real?
[21:52] Sachi
    Wait!
[21:56] Sachi
    Please don't take my brother from me!
[22:01] Nagi
    Sachi.
