Original subtitles

You didn't–

You didn't have to do that

because we're getting a divorce!

But…

I'm still… your husband.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by 🍂🌻Stay Together Team🍂🌻 @ viki.com

Yes, Koichi speaking.

I'm heading right on over.

Is something wrong?

[Divorce Form]

Mother... [Kaoru Obara]

Why?

She already told us about the divorce, remember?

Exactly. A divorce.

Regardless, she's not someone who would leave without notice.

Um...

Did she say anything when she left?

Nothing! Not a word.

Not even a word?

Father, is it possible you merely took no notice?

Dear, here.

[Divorce Form]

Add omelettes to dinner.

It's me.

Did you recall something?

- I'm thirsty. - Huh?

Tea! I want to drink tea!

Seriously...?

Why me...

Where are the tea leaves?

- Don't know. - Same

I'm hungry.

Prepare dinner. Something simple will suffice.

All right!

How about somen?

It isn't summer. [T/N: Cold somen is a staple summer dish]

You said simple would suffice.

Hey, Koichi?

Koichi!

What is it?

Could you do something about your father?

What about him?

- Can't you tell? - Ah, yes.

My dad dislikes tomatoes and bell peppers.

I request that they are not included in dinner.

Dinner will be Ubered!

And don't forget; no tomatoes or bell peppers.

[How to Get a Divorce for the Whole Family!]

The future looks bleak.

Koichi, can't you tell your dad to take care of his own needs?

Are you listening?

Anyways, let's find your mother, quickly.

Otherwise,

our divorce is out of the question.

You have a point.

I guess our divorce is pretty much set.

Until then, we have no choice but to cohabit.

Yes, you two are definitely blood-related.

The resemblance between you and your dad was uncanny.

I respect my father.

I became a capable adult

because he dedicated himself to work and protecting the family.

All my life, I wished to become like my father. [Family Rules]

I guess that explains everything.

Especially if you're going to follow in your dad's footsteps.

At least you're divorcing early.

Now you have time for a do-over.

[How to Get a Divorce: Divorce Prep]

Not there.

Nope.

Not there either.

Not here.

I didn't notice you.

Is that from when we fell? Are you okay?

No worries, it's only a bruise.

- I'll do it. - No, I can handle this.

- But... - I'm sorry, but…

I wish to be alone tonight.

Are these all for the Reader's Sweepstakes?

Fifty lucky readers win these Quo Cards*, (T/N: A prepaid card)

but wouldn't a direct deposit be quicker?

It's so unfair!

Yumi, who badmouthed you, stays on the project.

Meanwhile, you're forced to do menial chores.

I asked for these chores.

It's better to do something, rather than nothing.

Saki, you're such a workaholic.

- I'm just glad you're married. - What?

Even if there's trouble at work, you have time to relax at home.

About that...

When you ran out of the company, I called Koichi.

He seemed really worried.

All in all, it's nice to have an ally

who'll come to your rescue.

Look out!

It's only natural for a man to protect a woman.

Men have been protecting women since ancient times.

Saki!

Opportunity strikes!

What's up, Editor-in-chief?

- Do you know the Kiras from Ralph Lauren? - I do.

You're talking about the husband, Naoto Kira, the Vice President. [RALPH LAUREN]

And his wife, Tomomi Kira, the Marketing Director, yes? [RALPH LAUREN]

I even met them.

Exactly! We're thinking of having them run a serialization in our magazine.

We document their lifestyle as an ideal couple through both photos and articles.

- That sounds interesting. - Right?

There's just one catch.

The Kiras want to meet and choose their editor themselves.

Plus, they want the said editor's partner to come along, to really gain their trust.

Their partner? I see.

In your case, that'd be your husband.

M-My husband?

As such, there's going to be a party for the Kiras.

We'll have each editor candidate and their partner attend,

and have the Kiras choose in person.

- So that means... - If you gain the Kiras' favor,

then you get a new project!

Isn't that great, Saki?

I'll definitely attend that party!

P-Party?

It's this Saturday, the 24th, at 1 p.m.

I want you to accompany me.

Why are you being indecisive?

I dislike "parties".

You only need to be there!

Leave the talking to me. You're just a plus-one.

Ancient tradition declares that men protect women.

Women support men in every way, with their mind and soul as one.

What a shameful sight for men to be escorted.

Just leave the formalities.

Don't misunderstand. This is part of our "Divorce Prep".

- "Divorce Prep." - Yes, all the preparations needed for a divorce.

Remember what your mother said? We need a job to survive after our divorce.

Besides, I love being an editor.

I got the job after lots of hard work. It means a lot to me.

I definitely don't want to lose it.

If I get this chance, I'm back on the opening spread.

Please cooperate with me.

Her subordinate leaked something to the HR that might not be true,

and Saki was removed from her project.

Understood.

Really?

[Episode 2]

Why are we here?

You need clothes, right?

I'm good with clothes. I have this!

It's a party.

You need a suit. Plus, we'll be meeting Ralph Lauren executives.

Wearing their brand is good etiquette.

How about something like this?

Come on, try it!

Here.

What about these?

They suit you.

Sir, that suits you well!

Your silhouette is perfect.

I wouldn't say... Why the pictures?

Who cares, it's just a photo.

Being photographed without permission is unpleasant.

Would you like one together?

- No, thank you. - Yes, please!

Ready, and...

You two are a perfect match.

- Thank you. - Despite our DivoPrep.

- Divo...? - Please ring up my total.

Yes, Ma'am.

- You two look wonderful. - Thank you.

Hold on!

I reject this purchase!

Why?

Such expensive clothes are unnecessary.

Stop, you're embarrassing me.

Listen, this brand uses great material.

The jacket is a trend, and it's a perfect fit.

- Considering the quality, it's reasonable– - It's unnecessary.

Unnecessary?

That's only because you have no interest in clothes.

Match my wavelength this once–

Do not push your ideals onto me!

Pardon me...

Is something not to your liking?

Charge it here.

Y-Yes, Ma'am.

I-I said I do not need it.

It's fine. I'm paying for it!

- Yes, Ma'am. - Check, please.

Master Sergeant Obara, I need advice!

What is it– O-Oops.

Well...

Don't be shy.

I don't know what to give my girlfriend!

- Your girlfriend? - Yes, sir.

He left his senior officer in the dust and got a girlfriend.

I get it, Kariba.

Though I'd like to give my girlfriend a present,

I have no idea what to get.

Sir, what sort of gifts have you given your wife?

- I never have. - What?

I have never given her a gift.

Why the stare?

It seems you won't feed the fish you've caught.

Only Master Sergeant Obara could get away with that in this era.

- Really? - Yes.

Has your wife given you a present?

Was yesterday's purchase a "present"?

Did she give you something?

I tried to refuse. However, she pushed it onto me.

That's a present! You're so loved, you hotshot!

- It was...? - What did you get?

If she gave you a present, you have to give one in return.

- But we're– - A stubborn guy like Master Sergeant Obara,

would only struggle to find a gift.

- Good day! - Good day.

Next Saturday, we'll hold our annual barbecue.

Hell yes!

As always, those with wives must bring them.

Wives?

Captain, I must confess–

- Master Sergeant Obara. - Yes!

I'm excited to meet your wife again.

Welcome home.

- Oh, were you home? - I just arrived.

Is that so?

What are you doing?

Nothing in particular.

- Is there something in your pocket? - What?

A subordinate of mine wished to give his girlfriend a gift, so he consulted me.

I see.

What about something like this?

A ballpoint pen?

This is no ordinary pen. Turn this area here, and... How about that?

Even if you ask, I don't really see the use of it.

You can write in the dark, and it's a great survival tool.

Who'd bring a pen?

That's your opinion. I would.

Maybe you'd be happy, but it's a present you're looking for.

Really, a ballpoint pen?

The light is just as confusing. Why not something else?

"Saki... Obara." [SAKI OBARA]

Wait, is that for...?

I think it's quite nice!

Can I have it?

No need to force yourself. I'll recommend something else to my subordinate.

Come on, don't pout. I'll gratefully accept.

In other news,

our squad is hosting a barbecue. Those with wives are expected to bring them.

Even though... we're going through divorce prep?

I plan to attend your party for Divorce Prep, yet you reject my needs?

But it's a barbecue...

- What about barbecues? - You eat outdoors,

regardless of it being hot or cold.

That's the fun of it.

Tend the fire, gather wood, grill the meat, and eat with comrades.

Humans have followed this ancient tradition for centuries, and it strengthens our bonds!

Plus, it hones survival skills.

I'm not a fan of surviving the wilds, or primitive group activities.

Besides, I hate bugs.

Then you shall fail to survive an emergency.

What if famine strikes and only bugs are around?

Prep is grueling? Enjoy that grind!

Use your head and hands. Convenience is what made humanity lazy and incompetent!

Why are you getting so heated?

Okay, I understand you love barbecue.

Just please stop pushing your ideals onto me.

Wives should obey their husbands.

We want wives to support their husbands–

Don't push your ideals onto me!

Wait! The barbecue is next Saturday at 1300 hours. Leave it open!

1300...

- Next Saturday...? - Affirmative.

Didn't I tell you my party was next Saturday at 1 p.m?

You're unbelievable! We're double-booked!

D-D-Did you...

really mention the date and time?

Yes! I sure did!

Does your brain only process that 1300-whatever format?

You said you'd come, so you better!

I cannot allow my squad's unity to crumble.

We are brethren, comrades in arms.

The trust I maintain at work is of utmost priority!

And the trust I maintain at work doesn't matter?

It's your fault for not checking the time and date.

My plans came first!

If you're can't listen to others,

then you're breaking your own rules!

One: "Hast thou not gone against sincerity."

"Have you deviated from the path of sincerity, truthfulness, and morality?"

That...

is currently irrelevant!

Are you all right?

Is your spine okay? Arm?

I'll be off!

This is heavy.

Aren't you going golfing?

I'll be renting my clubs today.

Hup!

I'm back!

Kaede! Hello to you too, Azusa.

- Are you heading out? - Yes.

See you later!

See you!

Leave that here.

Did Saki visit? She said she wanted advice about something.

She did but didn't mention anything.

Really? I wonder why.

Consulting Grannie is fruitless because she has her own life.

Goodness, stop it with the "Grannie"! I'm Mrs. Midori, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Azusa, go on and play your games!

Yes.

To tell you the truth... it seems Takeshi's got a woman.

Again?

He bought me macarons the other day,

and at the bottom of the bag was another paper bag.

Does that mean he gave that woman macarons?

- Exactly. - Sure, they're tasty.

But aren't macarons a flimsy present nowadays?

- I agree. - He used to gift plenty of brand-name items. Wait a second.

That means this new woman isn't someone in her 40s or 50s, who's known his past.

She must be in her 20s or 30s.

- You think? - Maybe you're overthinking things.

Sometimes the cashier adds an extra bag or two.

- Really? - Yeah.

Nope, that's wrong.

I deduce there were two sets of macarons.

Hey, were you listening?

Well, she has a point.

What now?

It's delicious.

Really put your back into it!

Hurry, or the guests will arrive!

Yes!

Heave-ho...

Oh!

Excuse me, what is in this garden?

N-No English.

I-I'm sorry.

Y-You can see?

Many Nishiki-koi? Feed them like this!

- Okay! Thank you! - Thank you.

Thank you, thank you so much!

Isn't that great? Yeah!

You're amazing!

This sort of stuff's all about passion.

Just try things out, and challenge yourself!

Challenge...

Hijiri, you've improved.

Thanks!

The omelets are fantastic!

Seriously! Seriously!

- Aren't you going to try some? - What?

Do you dislike omelets?

No, not at all.

You haven't visited in a while,

so have this, on the house.

- That's so kind of you! - Enjoy.

Thank you so much.

Hello! Is my order ready?

Yes, give us a moment to prepare it for take-out.

Long time no see.

Takaya.

I saw your interview with the actor, Ryo Sakuraba.

Saki, you're working as hard as ever.

Thanks.

What's wrong?

Something's wrong, right?

Come on, tell me.

You see, a coworker and I had a dispute,

so I got taken off a project.

Is that something I could help out with?

I could directly negotiate with the company as your lawyer.

Let me think about it.

If a lawyer appears out of nowhere, it could trouble the company.

All right.

But just remember this.

I'm always

your ally, Saki.

Thanks.

Are you happy?

- Well, you're having dinner alone. - Oh...

My husband has work.

I see.

You know, I'm glad I popped into this store.

After all, I got to see you again.

Then I'll catch you around.

See you.

What's going on here?

It was a coincidence.

Really?

Honestly, it felt weird.

He's the exact same as when we were dating.

It felt like my marriage didn't happen.

It's somewhat frustrating.

I feel so stupid for being hung up over marriage.

What even is...

marriage?

Are you going to ask me, the single person?

I thought I'd be unstoppable

with my number one ally beside me,

but I only argue with Koichi.

Oh, yeah, those macarons were really good.

Really? Then throw the ball on "macaron".

Ma... ca... ron!

- Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! - Wow! Amazing! Terrific!

Hug it out!

The macaron throw's amazing!

- Amazing, right? - Totally!

What next?

- Next? - The last train passed. Shall we go to a hotel?

And do what?

Let's think about that when we get there.

Seriously?

You seem to be having fun!

Midori!

Oh, this is my friend, Rina.

The name's Rina!

- Will you take a picture for us? - Yay!

Nope,

I'm collecting evidence for a divorce.

There you go again.

Oops, she's got some solid evidence of cheating!

Cheating?

You just said... you were cheating, yes?

I sure did! Plain and straight.

Got a problem?

Father?

[Divorce papers]

Oh my!

I did it!

You're amazing, Kaoru!

Is this seriously your first time?

It takes guts to start out on a course.

Azami, you told me life's all about the challenge!

That really opened up my world!

Now I want to try my hand at everything.

On to the next hole!

What next?

According to Uncle Jiro, she hasn't returned to her hometown.

I cannot think of any others she has close ties to.

Enough.

Leave her.

However...

She will not be successful out there.

That is a self-evident truth.

She will eventually hit a wall and return.

What if she doesn't?

She will.

As her husband, I know her best.

She left because you don't!

Mother always prioritized your needs.

That's why she always...

practiced self-restraint...

for your sake, Father.

- What do you know? - More than you!

I shall let you in on something.

Mother... The truth is

she dislikes sweet omelets.

That's impossible!

When I was young, I asked her about it.

Mom, why don't you ever eat omelets?

Oh?

I've never seen you eating omelets.

Great observation.

You see, I actually dislike sweet omelets.

I prefer salty ones.

Really?

However, your father prefers sweet omelets,

that's why our household eats sweet omelets.

This is our secret.

Don't ever tell your father!

Mother always...

Father, have you ever yielded to Mother?

The wife shouldn't be the only one forced to restrain herself!

Just please stop pushing your ideals onto me.

I tried cooking the fish.

Hast thou not felt ashamed of thy words and deeds?

Will you... go to the party alone?

Are you going to the barbecue alone?

- Let's get down to business! - Yes, sir!

- Start the fire! - Yes, sir!

Sergeant First Class Saotome, the lighter!

- Fool! No shortcuts! - Sorry, sir!

It's the basics of survival. Always be ready for battle.

- Yes, sir! - Guys, we're not superheroes.

Exactly!

- Ouch, ouch! - Put in more effort!

Sorry, sir!

Dear, Makoto is crying!

Coming!

Here, here!

Saotome acts mighty but is wrapped around his wife's finger!

I wonder if Master Sergeant Obara got into a fight with his...

- Look at him, all alone. - Maybe so.

- Please take care of this. - You got it!

I'll help.

Thank you.

Look, I brought spare ribs.

They've been marinating in garlic and honey.

I also brought herbs for steaming the meats.

Do you like rosemary and sage?

- Sorry for being late! - Afternoon, sir!

Afternoon, sir!

Real sorry.

- Good work! - Good work.

Where is your wife?

Master Sergeant Obara?

Wouldn't you know? They weren't together!

They weren't together at all!

Where is your husband? The restroom?

He isn't coming.

That's a problem!

The condition from the Kiras was coming with your partner.

The Kiras have arrived.

Apologies for the wait.

Thank you all for gathering today.

Both my wife and I look forward to meeting you, and your partner.

What a real delight.

Saki!

I hear you got married. Congratulations.

Where is your husband?

My apologies, he had prior arrangements.

Is that so?

As a married couple,

we are independent of one another

and maintain a comfortable amount of distance.

That way, we do not pressure one another.

It's our modus operandi.

I see. Independence is quite admirable.

By maintaining a moderate amount of distance,

you two are paving the way for a new style of husband and wife.

Thank you very much.

But in that case, why marry?

What?

Ms. Saki, your idea is dignified.

Yet, it sounds lonely.

I feel like it doesn't necessitate marriage.

I deeply apologize for my tardiness!

I am Saki's husband, Koichi Obara.

You are the rumored...

Yes, Ma'am. I'm her husband.

You look especially dapper in that suit.

My wife chose it for me.

She...

Rather, my wife worked harder than anyone to become an editor.

I respect the dedication she has towards her job.

I believe she will live up to your expectations!

In times of need, you come to her aid.

I can tell you have a passionate, burning heart.

He's a wonderful partner, isn't he?

Thank you very much!

Excuse me,

I'll have to take my leave here.

- Huh? - What do you mean, Saki?

- Things were going great– - My husband has important business to attend to.

My husband came to my aid,

and I'd like to do the same for him.

Let's go.

Wait!

If you'll excuse us!

Excuse us.

Wait, which way?

- Which way? - I don't know which way to go!

In the end, Master Sergeant Obara never returned!

Let's clean up.

What? Master Sergeant Obara?

And the Missus!

I apologize for our tardiness!

I am Koichi Obara's wife!

Please leave the cleaning to us!

Are you sure?

Why did you decide to come?

I just don't want to be indebted to you.

I see.

Exactly.

That's all.

Obara, help me carry this! You two, move out of the way. It's dangerous.

Missus, did you know?

He looked real menacing.

Master Sergeant Obara.

- I must leave. - What?

I must leave for the sake of my wife's important job!

Obara, the husband is the commander in the household.

How can you be a competent commander if you cannot even lead your wife?

That was what I too believed,

however, I now disagree!

The husband must also support the wife and change for her sake!

Pardon me.

Missus!

We seem to have left a cooler box over there.

Could you come and get it with me?

Yes.

Thank you very much. Let's head out.

It's a ways past this river.

Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

I remembered where it may have been.

Please, wait here. I'll go grab it.

Got it?

She's late.

I guess I'll... head back.

Captain, I must apologize for my impudence earlier.

Master Sergeant Obara, never forget those words of yours.

That is what it means to be husband and wife.

Thank you very much!

What?

Wasn't I here earlier?

Out of service?

No way!

Master Sergeant Obara, next time bring a family.

Yes!

Isn't Master Sergeant Obara's wife taking a while?

Oh, yeah. She hasn't come back.

- Have you seen her? - Nope.

Neither have I.

I'll go look for her!

Is something the matter?

Papa!

Master Sergeant Obara, your wife has yet to return.

We parted past the forest by the river.

Saki!

Koichi!

You fool!

♫ For years and years ♫

♫ And years ♫

♫ I will love you ♫

Do not leave my side, ever again!

♫ I will love you ♫

♫ Now this is goodbye ♫

Get on.

Hurry!

♫ This wasn't the end I had wished for ♫

♫ What about you? ♫

Why... do you always protect me?

♫ Since we can't even go back to being friends ♫

We're getting divorced.

♫ Like the start of spring again, one last time ♫

Even so...

I'm still your husband.

♫ Like a withered edelweiss, deprived of water ♫

♫ A blackened earring ♫

♫ This boring movie is now coming to an end ♫

♫ And yet I got sad during the end roll ♫

♫ Hey, what exactly is this emotion I feel? ♫

- Are you unscathed? Thanks.

♫ I want to be in the future you've set your eyes on ♫

♫ I want to look at you so hard that I see the tip of my nose ♫

♫ I want to scream my pain so loud that I split open ♫

Hey...

This is seriously useful.

Can I have it?

Fine by me.

Thanks.

♫ And years ♫

♫ I will love you ♫

By the way,

what did I cut you off from saying the other day?

The reason I married you was because…

♫ You ♫

Oh... I...

No... need to force yourself.

Barbecue seemed unexpectedly fun.

Maybe I'll make plans for my own.

I shall go take a shower.

♫ Don't go, stay here ♫
