Original subtitles

Please end your relationship with Takane.

Takane and I reside in a different realm.

Amane, what are you plotting?

Amane is planning to destroy the Ikkyou Temple.

Please... break up with Takane.

I won't give up neither the Ikkyou Temple nor Junko-san.

I'm hopelessly in love with you.

That's why I don't want to break up.

I'm tearin' that place down, and replacin' it with a buildin'. [Ikkyou Temple Demolition Plan]

Amane, what are you thinking?

I'm gonna destroy everything, and enact my revenge on you.

[Resignation Letter]

Sakuraba, are you serious?

Yes.

I've made my mind.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by ⏰ From 5→9 Straight to Burnout @Viki.com

It's heartless of you to resign so abruptly!

No need to cry so hard!

But you're the first real friend I've made...

It's all so sudden!

Your determination surprised me.

That's the "power of love", I guess.

"Power of love"...

If only I had a bit more of that, "power of love"...

What?

Nothing, nothing.

More importantly, one of the "ELA Three Beauties" is leaving.

- What a shame. - "ELA Three Beauties"?

Junko Sensei, Momoe Sensei, and I.

In that case, it includes me, so it's the "ELA Beauty Elite Four"!

"Elite Four"? This isn't some delinquent manga!

Anyway! We'll hold a grand farewell party.

- It's fine! - No way, you are leaving here to get married.

- Go out with a bang! - I'm not leaving to get married.

It's more like proving my willpower...

Nothing, I'm speaking to myself.

- Congrats on the recovery! - Congrats!

This will be a big help!

I'll use it right away.

Then this too! Kei-san, congrats on returning home!

Thank you, I'll also use it right away!

And a present to celebrate you two!

We heard you're getting married soon.

Congrats Junko!

- Thank you! - Invite us to the wedding!

- Invite us! - And good bye! Let's go home.

All right then.

- Take care! - See you!

- Thank you for coming! - Thank you!

Now then, let us eat dinner.

Everyone!

I have an announcement to make.

So...

I quitted my job!

What?

Therefore,

I will become the wife of a monk.

So you've made up your mind!

That's a one-way street to marriage, Takane-kun!

- You quit? - Yes.

Why so suddenly?

I've got no time to be working if I want Grandmother to accept us.

That does not require your resignation...

She objects to your marriage?

Why not elope?

Elope? That sounds wonderful!

- We're being serious right now. - Dear,

what's a serious elopement?

Going to an unknown town together, eat delicious foods, buy souvenirs, and come home!

That's just a roadtrip!

Seriously, be quiet.

I shall appease Grandmother.

She hates me, so I have to mend that.

She hates you that much?

Did you see her without her makeup?

- You guys are loud. - Anyhow,

please rethink about your resignation.

I've already decided.

- However— - What?

Do you want to marry me, or not?

I do.

- Then it's decided. - Alright, it's decided! Now let's eat!

Tonight's dinner is chicken wings and daikon.

- Sounds delicious! - It is delicious!

Looks good!

[From Five to Nine]

[Episode 9]

My rear still hurts...

Oh, Takane-kun.

Since you're here,

- I think I'll ask you to wash my back. - Understood.

Father.

Yes?

Was this the right choice?

Once she sets her mind to it, Junko doesn't back down.

- I see. - Same with her New York's dream.

- New York? - Before Nene was born, we watched a movie together, about New York.

After the movie, she raved about going to New York.

She's like a turtle. Once she clamps on, she doesn't let go.

- A turtle... - But you know?

She's tossing away her dream to become your wife.

Make her happy.

Yes.

Takane-kun.

My back's been hurting for a bit.

Oh, God!

Who let you through?

I still have not forgiven you.

I asked the chief priest.

Grandmother, here.

Amane is seriously thinking of destroying this place. [Ikkyou Temple Demolition Plan]

You think I am unaware of it?

Whatever Amane does,

it doesn't matter.

Because he will never become the chief priest.

Nevertheless,

I have no plans on making you the chief priest either.

Junko-san quit her job, and has accepted to marry into the Ikkyou Temple.

Please,

accept our marriage.

No matter her efforts,

I will never accept it.

If you wish to become the chief priest,

you must marry Kaori-san.

If you absolutely wish to marry Junko-san,

I will search for another chief priest.

You went to the temple today, right?

Yes.

What did Grandmother say?

Grandmother will not budge.

I see.

Junko-san, are you serious about resigning?

Let's put that behind us.

Open wide.

- However, Junko-san... - Tomorrow, let's go to the temple together.

I will go alone.

Absolutely not!

We're getting married, so this is our obstacle.

Junko-san...

Your slippers.

In the end, she's no devil.

As long as we're sincere, she'll understand.

Let's get our marriage approved, together.

Absolutely.

Spread the salt. (T/N: An act of purifying evil)

Yes ma'am.

H-Hey! Wait a minute!

- How could you do this to Junko-san! - Our apologies.

- I'm fine! Please, at least hear us out! - Junko-san, let us leave.

They've covered you with salt...

It's fine, it's fine!

I just have to think about it as Setsubun beans! (T/N: Japanese holiday where you throw beans to ward out evil)

You two sure work hard.

Amane.

There's your specialty: a sad lookin' face.

You spoke big, sayin' you'd obtain both the Ikkyou Temple and Junko-san.

Yet, here you are.

Hey, you... Is that how you talk to your brother?

As a person livin' aloof, you'd never understand.

I will never hand the Ikkyou Temple to you.

I wonder?

How far will your selfishness go?

That's a call for a very important meeting.

See ya.

- Hello? - Excuse me.

Do you know Grandmother's plans for tomorrow?

Please, just listen to us.

- Please. - Please.

What an overused method.

- Please! - Grandmother.

Please!

There are still two days of meetings.

- Junko-san, you've tried enough. - I won't give up.

Now I'm burning with motivation.

[The next day]

Here!

Would you like some Anpan? (T/N: Red bean bun)

What? Why Anpan?

According to my research, stake-outs equal Anpan,

and of course, milk.

I'm fine. Thank you very much.

Well then, how about your favorite:

Onigiri? (T/N: riceball)

Later.

Anything else you need?

Something is in my eye, you wouldn't happen to have Q-tips?

I do.

Thank you very much.

What about a charger?

- Probably not. - I do.

Thanks... What?!

I also have games to kill time, and a rug to lie on.

Are your sleeves bottomless pockets?

- A kaleidoscope. - No need!

I feel guilt for making you uncomfortable, Junko-san.

- Put it away. - What? - Put it away, now.

The car's over here!

- Excuse me, please listen to us. - Please clear the way.

Please!

- Excuse me, please listen! - Grandmother!

- Please! - Please listen to us!

Please.

Tomorrow, for sure.

[The day after]

What are you looking at?

- You. - Why? Watch the entryway.

- No. - Watch over the doors!

This way!

Here, okay?

So cold!

Right!

Would you happen to have a pocket heater?

I do.

Lint roller. Konpeito. Rain poncho. (T/N Japanese sugar candy)

Flashlight. Dried sweet potato...

None of the above.

What?

What?

- I will go buy some. - N-No, it's fine.

- I will buy some. - I-It's fine!

Really, it's fine...

Thank you.

Junko-san.

- I wouldn't want you to catch a cold, so— - The car!

Excuse me! Just a word!

Grandmother, please accept my marriage to Junko-san!

- I will not. - Please! - At least listen to us.

- I have no need. - Please!

- Listen to us. - Please, I beg of you! Allow me to marry Hoshikawa-san.

- I implore you! - Junko-san, please stop.

I quitted my job.

I will do whatever it takes to become a proper wife for a monk.

- Please, I beg you! - Junko-san, that's enough.

- Please! - Junko-san!

Please...

Your head.

Raise it.

Next up, shopping.

- If it's shopping, I will. - No.

Takane, you and I will greet our patrons.

Do not worry, leave it to me.

- I'll be off! - Good luck!

Hup! Ho!

I have returned!

Not to worry, this is my job!

The color is correct.

- However, this is summer wear. - Is that so?

This one as well.

To become the wife of a monk

with no knowledge of textiles?

Is your head filled only with English?

I'm terribly sorry.

Go return all of these.

All of them...

- I'll be off. It's fine, this is my job! - I'll help—

I have returned...

Oh no!

Next, clean the temple grounds.

Yes, ma'am.

How stubborn...

and formidable...

I cannot stand by this.

Cleaning the main grounds, the gravesite,

preparing three meals, and acting as Grandmother's maid.

Not only that, but she is asking you to prepare the baths.

- Let us seriously consider eloping. - Excuse me?

If we remain here, your smile will fade away.

I'm marrying you because I wish to make you happy.

If my beloved is suffering, then I...

Hoshikawa-san.

That won't do.

I...

I want you to become the chief priest, Hoshikawa-san.

So don't say that.

Junko-san...

Alright?

Oh!

Please, do not mind me.

Please, please.

Without further ado.

- I won't. - As I thought.

Takane-sama, how unfortunate.

It is bedtime for kids.

Do not treat me like a child!

Excuse me.

Lookin' good.

We can leave the main hall as is—

No need.

Please, destroy everythin'.

Why am I here?

My apologies for the sudden invitation.

Now then, Ms. Momoe.

Tell Mr. Mishima your feelings.

Arthur Sensei—

I want a clear answer.

- I don't understand... - Neither do I.

Mr. Mishima, Ms. Momoe is—

I think nothing of Mishima-san.

- What? - But you always stare at him so passionately.

- I do not. - Yes, you do.

T-That's not for Mishima-san...

- If not Mr. Mishima, then who? - W-Well...

Please, give us a clear answer.

Fine! He resembles a character I like from a manga.

Manga... character?

Yes! Kirasagi Senpai... Oh, that's the name of the character.

He's a Seme amongst Semes! He must be called a super Seme!

He's the god of Kuuderes!

Speaking of, a Kuudere is someone who's normally cool,

but when alone with another, they become caring※☆◯△!

Take it easy, take it easy.

Sorry, guys.

Mishima-san, I'm very sorry!

- I feel like I got rejected. - Mr. Mishima.

Since you keep getting rejected,

let me treat you.

Excuse me? Five shots.

Ouch...

Good work.

Good work. You surprised me...

You do not need to assist Grandmother today.

- No, but— - She will be

visiting patrons with me all day.

Really?!

It has been a while since I've seen that smile.

T-That's not true...

Please, take the day to rest.

I will...

Oh, right!

Hello, Momoe Sensei?

What's with that way of answering the phone!

I'm thinking of visiting ELA today!

Junko-san believes she will one day be accepted by you, Grandmother.

Thus, she wears herself to the bone every day.

Why are you so cold towards her?

If you stay with her,

you will be caught up in misfortune.

It feels so nostalgic, and I've only been gone for a week...

Junko-chan!

Hey, Yuki-chan!

It's been real lonely!

- Yo. - Hey, Hachiya-kun!

Masako, Junko-chan is here.

Junko Sensei!

It's been so long!

- Aren't you on paid leave? - Yeah, I'm just visiting!

Hachiya-kun calls you Masako?

A-About that...

Junko Sensei!

It's been so long! How have you been?

Oh, wow!

- High-five! - Junko-chan!

Oh!

- Are you well? - Stop!

"Good answer, that's right!"

- Me, me, me! - Then... Yuki-chan!

- Yes? - Hey.

- You got a minute? - Sure!

Feel like returning?

Nope.

We'd welcome you with open arms, since there's a job opening.

Is someone quitting?

Me.

I've suddenly been called back to New York.

It's been a short period,

but I'm glad I could come back.

Plus, I got to see you as a teacher, Sakuraba.

Kiyomiya-san...

Yeah?

I've been in your care.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Same here.

Thank you.

I worry about you, Sakuraba. You're always working too hard.

Whenever you need to cry, just call.

I'll fly immediately from New York.

Although, it'd take half a day.

- All the best. - Thank you.

Yes?

Ms. Junko?

Hello, Arthur Sensei.

To tell you the truth...

There's something I must tell you, Ms. Junko.

What is it?

It's about Makoto.

He's told me to keep quiet.

But I cannot.

You saw a photo at Makoto's place, yes?

She was the woman Makoto married five years ago.

However, soon after their marriage, she passed away.

Though she passed,

Makoto could not move forth.

The reason why he could not send you a Christmas card, [Merry Christmas: Dear Junko, Thanks for the card!]

was because his feelings were still in disarray.

However, after reuniting with you,

Makoto was able to smile, from the bottom of his heart.

I apologize for speaking of this

to a bride-to-be.

Yet, as Makoto's friend,

I could not stand to see you two part ways,

while misunderstandings

remained unresolved.

- Junko-san! - Yes?

Why on earth have you returned so late?

I'm terribly sorry.

I will prepare dinner right away—

Kaori-san prepared our dinner.

But I still have time...

Grandmother.

- What are you doing to Junko-san? - I am warning her

against playing around, without preparing dinner.

Grandmother, it was you who abruptly requested an earlier meal.

It's fine. I'm terribly sorry.

It's fine.

I'm fine.

Hello?

What's up? [Incoming call: Junko]

I was wondering how everyone was.

Junko, we're having hot pot tonight!

Right?

This meat is so delicious, right?

Lucky...

I'm sure you're eating a feast at the temple.

Temple food equals vegetarian food, right?

Sounds good for your body.

It's healthy and delicious.

How's the road to becoming a monk's wife?

It's going well, I'll be fine.

As expected of my sister!

As expected of my daughter, right?

As expected of my daughter, don't you think?

Eat up, eat up!

- It's truly delicious, thank you very much! - Yeah, thank you.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by ⏰ From 5→9 Straight to Burnout @Viki.com

You're leaving already? You should stay longer.

Not at all, thank you for the meal.

I was glad to hear a lot about Junko-san. I will be off.

- Safe travels. - Thank you for the meat!

It was delicious, thank you!

Good work!

[Sakuraba | Hoshikawa Takane]

So cold!

Will you try tasting this?

No, thank you.

- Then, one day. - "One day"?

You think I will try your cooking?

How optimistic you are.

That's my one redeeming trait.

You mentioned you would work hard

to become a temple wife, right?

Yes, ma'am.

No matter how much you try,

there are things that cannot be changed in this world.

Since we have lived in different realms.

Grandmother, that is enough.

What sort of grudge do you hold against her?

I hold no grudge.

Then why?

I simply dislike Junko-san.

Junko-san may toil.

Nonetheless, my feelings will never change.

I... hate you.

- Junko-san, are you all right? - I'm okay, sorry.

Just a bit tired...

Junko-san, there is no need to push yourself.

It was very rude of her.

We shall hold an assembly

to greet all our patrons.

Takane you will be in charge of chanting the sutras.

Does this mean you accept Takane

as the next chief priest?

How hasty.

I will consider it,

only after you have conducted this assembly successfully,

and have married Kaori-san.

Excuse me.

Junko-san.

May I assist you at that assembly as well?

Junko-san, you should rest—

This is a momentous occasion for Hoshikawa-san, right?

Please, allow me to assist you.

Since you have begged so eagerly.

I will have you assist.

- Grandmother. - Thank you very much.

Junko-san, do not push yourself.

Grandmother accepted your assistance so readily.

She definitely has something up her sleeve.

Moreover, you still look ill...

You're too worried!

However...

I'll be fine. See?

A kimono? Yes, we have one.

Really?! Thank god!

If you're alright with Grandmother's, it comes set with a sash and sandals.

It's a bit old, but it's a nice kimono, so it's still stylish!

Could you possibly deliver that to me?

Dad!

- You're forgetting the kimono! - Oh, right!

My bad, my bad.

Time to rush, Junko's waiting!

We will continue to be in your care.

As will we.

We will continue to be in your care.

Junko-san has arrived.

She's late!

Apologies for the delay!

What an old-fashioned kimono.

You're so crudely dressed.

Today's meeting will only prove

how unworthy you are of being a wife at this temple.

Now, Junko-san!

My apologies.

Miss, what is this dish called?

It is a stuffed pouch of fried tofu.

Please mix it with the grated daikon with chili pepper.

Thank you, Kaori-san.

To not know the very dishes you serve,

you must have had good-upbringing.

My apologies.

I'm terribly sorry!

- I'm terribly sorry! - What are you doing?!

Don't touch me!

- I'm sorry! - I deeply apologize for our behavior!

Our apologies, madam.

We must remove the stain, quick!

Right this way.

Hurry, the stain!

Madam, are you alright?

- I am terribly sorry! - We are terribly sorry!

I am thoroughly embarrassed.

I deeply apologize.

I am terribly sorry.

I truly apologize for this error.

It's fine, Hoshikawa-san.

You must go back!

What about the important sutras?

Nothing in the world is more important than you.

I...

I don't want to be a burden.

You are no burden!

You were the one who taught me

what it feels to be in love.

You taught me the importance of treating your family

and the people around you with care.

You taught me the joys of living together with a loved one.

That is why I...

I wish you were a bit grateful of me.

My chanting saved the day, didn't it?

Our temple patrons think I am to become the next chief priest.

Hearing your sutras solidified my feelings.

You are not fit to be a chief priest.

Please go train once more.

I wonder what Junko Sensei's farewell speech will be... [ELA: English Learning Academy]

I'll be too busy crying to listen.

You're already tearing up.

Thanks.

What I said

wasn't a pickup line.

I really do love you.

What is this commotion in my chest!?

This fluttering, that I've never felt in 2D?

No way!

Is this... love?

- Is this love!? - Ms. Momoe! Calm down.

She's flying.

When should the farewell party be?

I'll call Sakuraba and ask.

I leave it to you.

Was the kimono alright?

Yup. It was a real help, thank you.

Wasn't it cute?

Yeah, everyone complimented me.

It was cute.

It was cute...

Hello? Junko?

Sorry, someone's on hold, I'll call you again, see you.

Hello?

Sakuraba? Is now a good time?

Yes, it's fine.

You don't sound fine.

That's not true!

Is something the matter?

We were

wondering when your farewell party should be...

Oh...

Don't worry about that, really!

That won't do.

An important member of the crew is leaving.

Let us see you off.

Thank you very much.

Sakuraba...

You know, Sakuraba,

you can be yourself.

Yes, sir.

Then I'll see you.

Yes.

I quitted my job!

I will become the wife of a monk.

Allow me to marry Hoshikawa-san. I implore you!

I will do whatever it takes to become a proper wife for a monk.

I'm terribly sorry!

I'm terribly sorry!

I don't want to be a burden.

Thank you for such a wonderful going-away party.

Meeting so many people that I can call friends...

my time with you,

my days at ELA,

have become an invaluable part of my life.

My dream was to work in New York.

Although that dream might not have fully come true,

every day I worked here,

felt like a day in New York...

So...

Half of my dream,

did come true

thanks to ELA.

If I hadn't worked here,

none of this

would have been possible.

It's hard to say "Good-bye",

to such an important place...

But...

But...

I don't...

regret...

my decision.

Today,

I'm happy.

I couldn't ask for...

I am coming in, Junko-san.

Yes.

I am sure you are tired.

Please, rest at home.

- No, but— - I will escort you.

Takane-sama, bad news!

- What is the matter? - The worst has come!

[Ikkyou Temple]

Let's break this down, and build it up real big.

Understood.

- I leave it to you, everyone. - Yes, sir.

W-Wait one moment!

Wait one moment!

Please, turn back.

Amane.

You're real naive.

It seems you frequent the Sakuraba's.

You've made a new family or somethin'?

You're pretendin'

to ignore how Junko-san

gave up her dreams for you.

You're real lucky.

You've achieved your

dreams of succession, and got the girl.

But what 'bout Junko-san?

You want the temple, and the girl.

Your selfishness destroyed Junko-san's life.

Has that thought crossed your mind?

I'm the same!

That hag over there pampered only you,

and abandoned me in some temple in Kyoto.

Grandmother did not abandon you.

Then did anyone come to visit me, even once?

You've abandoned your brother and preach family?

I've lived alone.

Not trusting anyone, all alone.

You guys ruined my life!

The root cause,

is this Ikkyou Temple.

That's why...

I want to destroy this temple.

- If you please. - Understood.

- Begin your work. - Yes, sir.

W-Wait a moment!

Please, wait a moment!

Wait a moment!

W-Wait, please!

[Ikkyou Temple]

[Jimmy Choo]

Hoshikawa-san!

Isn't this a first?

Being able to meet as arranged.

It feels like a date.

Oh yes, look!

I'm wearing the shoes you gave me.

Aren't you hungry?

I made us a meal!

Do you want to eat now?

Hoshikawa-san?

Junko-san...

I am truly disappointed in you.

You are not fit to become the wife at the temple.

No matter how hard you work,

you cannot become my wife.

As Grandmother said,

we reside in different realms.

I finally see the truth.

I...

have come to dislike you.

You're lying...

right?

I dislike lies.

I will soon be wed to Kaori-san.

To beg by with pity and tears,

is shameful.

Do you think anyone would be moved by that?

I dislike you, Junko-san.

We shall never see one another again.
