Be honest with yourself, Chiharu!
That's your distinctive characteristic, isn't it?
If you don't move now...
...this time I won't forgive you for the rest of my life.
Very well.
Haruko-san?
Haruko-san?!
It hurts...
Haruko-san?!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Ah, no.
Haruko-san...
I told you I wouldn't forgive you if you didn't go, didn't I?
That's okay.
But...
No.
This is okay.
Sorry.
Yes. A friend of mine collapsed...
...so I went with her in the ambulance to the hospital.
So I won't be able to come see you.
I'm sorry.
Yes.
Yes, see you again.
"Takahara Seiji"
Kirishima-san has awoken.
Yes.
How are you feeling?
Chiharu...
...I'm sorry.
That you couldn't go... was my fault.
That's wrong.
I wouldn't have gone.
Because I couldn't have gone.
So this is fine.
I don't want to interfere with Junpei-kun's dream, after all.
"To our customers: Due to circumstances, we will be closed for a little while. Maison Floral"
They're closed?
The bleeding seems to have almost stopped and you are stable...
...so if this situation continues into the afternoon...
...it should okay for you to leave the hospital then.
Thank you very much.
However...
Is she a member of your family?
Ah, no. I'm...
Ah. She's fine.
I still feel the source of this are those uterine fibroids.
It would be best to have a surgery as soon as possible.
Are you saying that this is a case of total removal?
Given the size and location of the fibroids...
Ultimately of course, I will leave that to the judgment of the person in question.
Well, please think it over carefully at home.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
You kept me company all night long, huh?
I can go home alone, so don't worry.
Then, once work is over, I'll come and make dinner.
Please don't say you'll be okay alone.
Ah, well, um... Even if I do come, it may not be for the best, though.
Thank you.
So long, see you later.
Come in.
Sorry for asking to come in on your day off.
No. I had to take care of the flowers anyway, so I was thinking of stopping by.
Besides, the Manager would be angry if she returned and the flowers had wilted.
Thank you.
Ah, what kind of flowers would you like for sympathy flowers?
Yeah.
These are some cute flowers, aren't they?
Those are Diamond Lilies.
Diamond Lilies?
Their name is wonderful too, isn't it?
Because they bathe in the light of day and shine glitteringly, that's why they're called that.
Ehh...
Then, I wonder if I could have a bouquet of these, please.
Yes.
I wonder what these are in the language of flowers?
Ah.
Junpei-san isn't here. I'm sorry.
I see. That's right.
"Medical Certificate Disease: Uterine Fibroids"
Welcome back.
I'm back.
How's your health?
Yeah. It's settled down.
Is that right? That's great.
How about some Nabe today to warm you up?
Sounds good.
I'll help.
Ah, never mind, never mind. Please just sit.
Yes, here.
Some sympathy flowers from me.
Thank you.
- Diamond Lilies. - Yes.
Mai-chan... Even though the store was closed, she said she had to take care of the flowers...
...so I asked her for them.
Something small that was like Haruko-san.
Really?
I'll make dinner right away, so please wait just a moment.
I wonder what I should do...
...about the surgery?
Yes.
Strange, isn't it?
To me...
...a garden is one where people gather and children run around.
I didn't think I would be giving birth to children after this.
Yet even so, I felt lost when I was told...
...it would be a total removal.
There's nothing strange about it.
Anyone would think that.
I wonder if I got scared at the possibility that my having children would be zero?
I wonder if somewhere inside me...
...there's still a part that wants to give birth?
I wonder if it's that I'd feel like I wasn't a woman?
Laughable, huh?
It's not laughable.
I think having those feelings...
...is only natural.
Haruko-san is Haruko-san.
Whether you have the surgery or not, Haruko-san will still be Haruko-san.
Even if there was something like this yesterday...
...I'd have flown from anywhere to protect you, Haruko-san.
You're not Superman.
I could become Superman.
Thank you.
I have to decide.
On my own path forward.
Hold on a minute.
Yes. Here.
Kudo-kun entrusted me with this.
Thank you very much.
Call me when the food is ready.
"Thank you very much Junpei"
My own path forward, huh?
Tokimeki no kaze ga fuitara If a thrilling wind blows
Sono kimochi oritatande Fold that feeling up

Heiwa Fansubs Presents: "Kekkon Shinai" - "Unmarried"
Final Episode: "Our Final Choice and Decision! We Give Our Answers!"
- 'Morning. - Ah, good morning.
Ah, if you'd like, please put these in the microwave and eat them.
Um... I made portions here for both your lunch and dinner.
Thank you.
- Haruko-san. - Huh?
I've been thinking, too.
"What should my own path forward be"?
I need to honestly talk to and apologize to Takahara-san.
There was this feeling like we we’re going to get married...
...so I don't think he'll forgive me, however much I apologize though.
I think I should first get my qualifications so I don't have to depend upon anyone...
...and then I'll be able to walk on my own.
I wonder if that will be my path forward?
I see.
I've also decided.
I will have the surgery.
Is that right.
Yeah.
From here on, my life will be...
...to make many gardens...
...that will provide flowers for those who visit them.
I guess that's where I would end up at.
For that sake, rather than spending it in fear of collapsing...
...I'll have the operation and only think about gardens.
I understand.
I'll be with you...
...on the day of the operation.
Yeah.
I'm very sorry.
I can't get married to you, Takahara-san.
Why?
There's...
...someone else I love.
So...
I'm sorry.
Takahara-san...
...I have you to thank more than anyone.
Thanks to you...
...I came to think I could do my best both at work and in moving forward.
I can't begin to thank you enough for that.
You've saved me.
Yet even so...
...I'm not the person...
...in your heart.
I had a vague notion of this.
Even if you would say you were thankful to me...
...you never did say that you loved me.
I am truly very sorry.
You and Takahara-san aren't getting married?
I know you had that expectation, so I'm sorry.
No. Rather than apologizing, what happened?
That's right. Even though you said it was with the assumption of getting married. Right?
Yeah. Well...
I...
...even at my age, whenever I was impatient with work or other things...
...I would just run away and let Takahara-san baby me.
But I guess, at long last I realized I couldn't do that.
From here on, I think I will look straight ahead until I reach the goal I've found for myself.
First off...
...I will take the qualifications and receive training.
I want to...
...find a job in the travel industry again sometime soon.
I see.
I'm sorry, Dad.
I know you were looking forward to seeing me in my bridal gown at long last.
I am...
...a little surprised at this.
This is the first time Chiharu has clearly told us how she wants to live.
Right?
That's right.
It feels as if you've gotten a little stronger.
Thank you.
"Synthesis - Travel Duties"
Yes.
I should return in 2 weeks.
Until then, someone for the store...
I'm truly sorry about this personal matter of mine.
From the rules table...
From the rules table, is a one-time layover during a regular fare free?
In the way-model fare, is a one-time layover free?
"Tanigawa House Blueprints"
You shouldn't have deliberately set your surgery for the day of my exams.
Well, isn't this okay?
But this is an important day.
I wanted to attend on you.
Because Chiharu will be doing her best, I'll do my best, too.
That's why I had to do this today.
Look.
Best go early so you won't be late.
Yeah. All right.
- So long, I'm off. - Yeah. Have a nice time.
I'm off.
Good luck.
"[Heiwa 24] (2012) General Administrator Travel Duties Handling Trial Test Questions"
Well then, please begin.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
How about you?
Did you do your very best?
Yes.
I didn't want to lose to you, Haruko-san.
You really did your best, too, didn't you?
Yeah.
The doctor did all the hard work though.
That again.
Saying things just to look strong.
Still...
That Chiharu was there...
...and that I got to meet Chiharu...
I'm really glad for that.
For me...
I'm really glad I got to meet Haruko-san.
Thank you.
Ah, Mom.
Ala.
This is Chiharu-san.
Nice to meet you, I'm Haruko's mother.
We're truly indebted to you for the other day.
Nice to meet you, I'm Tanaka.
Um... I'm indebted to her for various things.
This person? I was only informed about this after the operation was over.
Normally she should have let me know BEFORE the surgery, right?
It's fine. It was easier on you after the surgery.
That's it. Should I call it being strong-willed or just plain stubbornness?
Hey. Let's talk about who I resemble.
Geez. She's gotten this healthy already.
Still, she has changed a little.
Huh?
Ehh... Haruko-san has?
Yes. I can say she's become honest.
She's no longer complaining.
She's not acting like a baby. She's that kind of child.
But Haruko-san has been worrying about me like she would for herself.
She even became seriously angry with me.
I'm sure this is thanks to you.
No, not at all.
Well, I do think she will never recognize just how honest she herself has become.
Now, drink this.
Thank you very much.
Hey, take it out of here if you're going to say that.
That's right.
- She's stubborn. - She's stubborn.
I'm not like you.
Well, if she's got that much spirit, she'll be fine. Right?
"Could we spend the rest of our lives together?"
"To be silently married to one another all your life..."

"...I've been wondering what to do."

"On the day I left for Paris..."
Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Ah, no.
Senpai and I really are going to Paris.
We'll be together forever from now on, won't we?
Shall we go?
Senpai?
I'm sorry.
I guess I can't go.
Eh?
What are you saying?
Because if I went with you from here, it would only hurt you more.
I guess...
...I haven't been...
...starting to walk under my own power from zero.
You don't have...
...any feelings for me?
I'm sorry.
When I told you...
...the agent wanted to see you before Christmas...
...that was a lie.
I had realized you weren't looking at me, Senpai.
That's why...
...I wanted to take you to Paris as soon as possible.
Because I felt it would be like this, somehow or other...
...I...
...didn't send off this painting.
I'm sorry.
It'll be fine like this, won't it?
I...
...won't lose.
So that I can catch up with Senpai, I will become a good artist.
Kono.
And so, Senpai...
...please do your best, too.
Thank you.

Yeah.
I wanted to organize my feelings.
What'll you do from here on?
I have a Senpai from my college days who's giving lessons in painting while in Hokkaido.
And so, as a lecturer...
...he's also been gathering young people who are aiming to be painters for their creative activities.
Then, you'll be going up there?
Yeah.
Though again I won't be able to show my filial devotion.
You not giving up on the path you love is more important than filial devotion, isn't it?
Thank you, Brother.
Hokkaido, huh?
It's freezing up there, isn't it?
Watch your health.
I'll go after returning to Yokohama once.
There's something important I've forgotten there.
"Public Telephone"
Hello?
Junpei-kun?
Chiharu-san.
Sorry for calling you out so suddenly like this.
No. I, too...
...felt I wanted to meet you, Junpei-kun.
Eh?
I received...
...a letter from Mizuki-san.
I felt I needed to start taking those steps forward from zero by myself.
I intend on going to Hokkaido.
Hokkaido?
I thought...
...I'd risk everything to try drawing paintings there.
Therefore, I thought I should...
...tell you properly just what my feelings are.
I know you will get married and be happy...
...but I wanted to convey...
...just what my feelings are to you.
Takahara-san and I...
...won't be getting married.
I've been...
...confronting my own feelings as well.
I...
...realized I needed to convey my feelings as well.
That I had forgotten something important.
I promised to show it to you, after all.
This is...
Could this be the Novara?
Because you said you wanted to see them.
Thank you.
You're finally opening the store today?
Professor?
"Finally today"?
Eh? Don't tell me Professor, you've been coming every day?
Ah, well...
I can't do any business yet...
...but I thought I would clean it up.
Since the Manager will be discharged from the hospital today.
I see.
That's good. Yeah.
Ah, thank goodness.
In that case, it's fine.
Professor?
Yes?
- Thank you. - Yes, here you go.
Are you sure about going to show it to him?
You've put so much effort into finishing it.
Say, Haruko-san.
Huh?
It may be my turn to say it this time.
What will you do when...
...you go to the Professor's place?
My path has always been...
...a long...
...straight path.
I didn't even know what my path was.
But the truth is...
...everyone has one, don't they?
Each of us has their own path.
Yeah.
We may lose our way sometimes...
...but that's only because we've lost sight of it.
Yeah.
Once we try walking along it properly...
...maybe that's when we see it for the first time.
That might be so.
Ah, it's not over yet.
Okay.
Ahh...
You really can't finish that by yourself.
Good afternoon.
Welcome.
Come in.
Thank you very much.
It might be impossible to do this alone...
...but if it were two people, you might get it done somehow.
As ever, I don't have any confidence.
Well...
Let's take it easy then.
Mutually.
That's true.
Gotten cold, hasn't it?
Yeah.
I guess it's even colder over there, isn't it?
That's true.
I'll do my best.
To paint as much as I can...
...so I can have at least one painting I can boast about to you.
Yeah.
Marriage.
It isn't merely an institution.
But for this institution, many people are troubled or made fun of by it.
But, even if you have a relationship that can't be called marriage...
...as long as love is raised within it, a family can be built from it.
As long as people understand one another sincerely...
...I wonder if it needs to be caught up in an institution?
Now then, has your view of marriage changed a little?
With this, my lecture for this year is finished.
Ah. Next year my discussion will be about divorce.
Well then, until next year.
- Did you draw one? - Yeah.
This is today's.
That's great.
Wanna go to Chinatown today?
How nice. They're a couple.
They look happy, don't they?
- Nikuman! - Nikuman?
- Nikuman and then... - And...
How about Tosakumen? (knife-cut noodles)
- Ah, let's eat those. I wanna eat those. - Want those?
Ehh... Tanaka-san. Thank you for your hard work.
- Thank you for your hard work. - You worked hard.
Good luck.
I'll be cheering for you.
Thank you very much.
Ahh... Chiharu-san!
Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you.
You did a great job.
Thank you very much.
- Um, Chiharu-san. - Yeah?
I have a little news for you.
Yeah.
Morita and his girlfriend broke up.
And so, um...
We're going out with each other!
- Eh?! - Eh?!
Hey! Not so loud!
Congratulations! You two are going out!
Whaa!
Ah.
Thank you.
Garden Design work?
Yes. I'm taking the day off so I can concentrate on it.
Hmm... Where will the garden be?
A junior of mine's home garden. They've asked me to build it.
Ehh.. That's incredible.
But don't push yourself too hard.
Yes.
By the way...
...I picked this up just as a trial...
"Marriage Registration"
But, well, I guess that's not necessary for us, is it?
That's true.
Ehh...
Yeah...
They've come.
- Incredible. - Whaa... Such beautiful roses.
- So cute. - So cute.
Incredible.
- This is incredible over here, too. - Right?
Chiharu, you worked hard, too.
Thank you very much.
Still, I feel I have a long ways to go yet.
Though I've gotten my qualifications, there's still lots I have to study.
And I haven't even chosen a new workplace yet.
You'll be fine; I'm sure of it.
- Ah, that's right, Haruko-san. - Huh?
Here. This month's rent.
That can wait until you find a job.
No, no. I wouldn't want that.
Then, thank you very much.
And? How about you, Kudo-kun? Are you going to your University Senpai's place?
Yes. While teaching children to paint...
...I'll continue to create my own works.
And I'd like to try my hand at entering a contest there as well.
Ehh... A contest?
That'd be incredible.
Right?
Yeah.
Junpei-san, when will you be leaving?
I take a flight tomorrow morning.
That soon?!
Chiharu-san will be lonely, won't you?
It would be great if Junpei-san and Chiharu-san got married!
- Eh? - Ah?
Well...
Ah, here, here.
To pray for each of our happiness, let's make a toast.
- Right? Here. - Ah, yes.
Yes, go ahead and make it, Chiharu.
Eh?! Then...
To each of the paths we move forward on.
- Kanpai. - Kanpai.
There's still plenty to eat.
Thank you very much.
Eat up, eat up.
Marriage, huh?
I think getting married is a common feeling, isn't it?
I think so as well.
That's true.
Still...
I've thought it through once again.
Is it necessary for us to get married?
Until now, I've thought all this time...
...that happiness would leave me behind...
...if I were unmarried.
In my rush, I made plenty of mistakes.
But...
...what happiness seems to be for me, somehow, was something I wasn't looking for.
Now...
...at last, my life is coming into view.
And then I thought...
...marriage really isn't everything.
Yeah.
Because we love each other and simply because we are connected...
...each of us can walk along the path we believe in.
I wonder if a form like that isn't fine?
Yeah.
I'm sure a form like that suits us best.
Does it?
I think so, too.
Then...
...here's where I go.
Let's make our goodbyes here.
Yeah.
So long.
Ah, say.
There's just one thing I wanted to ask you.
What is it?
In flower language, what are Diamond Lilies?
Ah...
"Looking forward to the day we meet next..."
"Looking forward to the day we meet next."
I'll look forward to the day we meet next.
So long then.
I figured you'd come.
I thought you'd feel like drinking.
I do feel a little like drinking.
- Here, here, here. - Yes.
Thank you very much.
Oh!
- Kanpai! - Kanpai!
Whaa!
Tastes great!
But it's so cold!
It truly is cold.
Say, that time when we first met...
...it was still warm then, wasn't it?
Yeah!
It really was!
I know.
Look at this.
Huh?
"Marriage Registration"
Whaa!
This is the first time I've ever seen one.
Right? That's why I brought it.
They even have this box here.
- Ahh! - Right?
"When did you start living together?"
Well, I don't need that.
Shall I make a paper airplane out of this?
Sounds good!
Will it fly?
I'm good at these.
Oh!
Okay!
Here goes.
What is this?!
Whaa! This is bad.
You two again?!
It's been awhile.
Good evening.
This is bad. Run for it.
Run for it? Where?
Eh? Well, for now...
Then, my place for coffee?
Sounds good. Yes.
We're sorry!
- What's that? Running away?! - Farewell!
Hurry! Faster!
Huh? Running away?!
I have something to say to you!
'Morning.
Good morning.
I guess sleeping is best done in your own home, huh?
Eh?
Haruko-san, your home is over there, isn't it?
Eh? What are you saying? This is my home.
What are YOU saying?
Ah, still, because the food here tastes so good, maybe I should stick around for a while?
All right! You'd be welcome.
- Why? - Because then we can have nabe.
Ah, this year's fashion is for Shio-koji nabe. (a type of salted nabe)
A Shio-koji nabe would be great.
- All right! Let's eat Shio-koji nabe! - Wait, wait! Call Kudo-kun?
