Godai! Time to rise and shine!
Godai!
Hurry! Your soup is going to get cold.
All right! I heard you.
You're such a handful.
How long is this going to go on?
- Huh? - What do you mean, "Huh?"
I'm talking about Godai and that girl.
Beats me.
I know you're the one that's bothered most.
Oh, I almost forgot.
That's right. It's almost equinoctial week.
Oh, that high school girl student did? Poor Godai has his hands full.
I wouldn't talk.
You said you were cutting ties with that marriage arrangement girl.
What's going on, anyway?
You haven't called it off yet, have you?
W-Well...
Coach Mitaka! You have a phone call.
Coming!
I tell you. All guys are hopeless.
Hello?
Oh, it's you, Uncle.
What? Today?
All right.
Oh, my, Ms. Ichinose.
You should've seen my husband's face!
You shouldn't say things like that.
Yeah, but...
I can't have that dog maiden hounding me forever.
No matter what, I'm breaking it off today for sure.
Why are you suddenly calling me out?
I wanted to set a date to exchange engagement gifts.
Are you happy? I know you are.
What's wrong, Shun?
Asuna is waiting.
Welcome.
Hello.
My, my. Welcome.
Hello.
- This guy is just being shy. - Uncle!
And so, we'll take,care of the details
so you two go outside and chat.
Come now. You too, Asuna. Go on.
We'll have to meet his parents first.
Yes, yes. We'll have to arrange that.
It's already autumn, isn't it?
Yes.
- A-Actually... - I...
I...
I love autumn.
Oh! So do I!
Spring, summer and winter too,
as long as I'm by your side.
I...
I can't weaken now.
Er...this isn't very easy for me to say...
But please hear me out.
To tell you the truth, I cannot marry you.
I'm sorry I let it get this far without being clear until now.
Asuna...
Ohh! Asuna!
P-Please get ahold of yourself!
Someone as beautiful as you can have any man she wants.
I will become a nun.
- I will never ever marry. - Don't say that!
You must... hate me.
No. I never said that.
You don't... hate me?
Of course not. It's just...
I understand.
As long as I know that, I...
You understand?!
I do.
Bye, Godai.
I almost forgot.
Godai, what would you like for dinner tonight?
Huh? Let's get this clear...
Hmm... What about sukiyaki?
Sure.
I mean...
I'll be home early.
Make sure the meat is nice and marbled.
Well, doesn't she act like the little woman.
She should talk.
What are you doing from so early in the morning?
Making building blocks.
Building blocks?
I'm going to paint them, then draw pictures on them.
Yoo hoo!
M-Mr. Mitaka!
Hello, Soichiro.
- He looks awfully happy. - Something must've happened.
Sorry, but I don't have time to play with you today.
What happened?
Ms. Otonashi, be happy.
Yes?
I've made you wait...
but I finally cut off my marriage arrangement.
I'm a free man!
The barrier between us has been completely removed!
Ms. Otonashi!
Err...
What are you doing here from so early in the morning?
You stay out of this.
This is between Ms. Otonashi and me.
What a pity. That girl was a good catch, wasn't she?
The truth has been revealed! I have no regrets.
By the way, are you free for lunch on Saturday?
I'm sorry. On Saturday...
I have to visit my husband's grave.
That's right. It's equinoctial week.
I'm sorry. I was insensitive.
No, not at all.
What were your husband's favorite foods and flowers?
- You're going with her? - No, I'm just asking.
He wasn't a picky man.
I remember he liked chrysanthemums.
Chrysanthemums?
Yes, because they could be cooked with as well.
Chrysanthemums, huh? I'll see you later, Ms. Otonashi.
Huh? Are you leaving already?
I came to tell you that I called off my engagement for you.
Besides, it's not the right time for you to let me in your heart.
Whoa! So what are you going to do, Kyoko?
What do you mean?
He might try to look cool by proposing to you
in front of your parents at the grave.
N-No way.
You're so naive.
Manager, may I use your washing machine?
Sure.
He's a go-getter, that Mitaka.
Women like forceful men.
Godai had better prepare himself.
That guy is just too handy for his own good.
Thank you for watching the house.
Sure. Take as long as you need. Tell your parents I said hello.
I will. Bye!
Oh, well. I guess I'll go to work.
Manager's family grave? I think it was located...
D-Don't tell me...
- Mrs. Ichinose! Who was that? - Guess...
- M-Mitaka? - That's right!
He asked where Kyoko's husband's grave was.
Maybe he's thinking of proposing to her in front of her parents
at the gravesite.
That shameless man would! Damn it!
Just as I suspected!
Godai!
Why are you here?
I could ask you the same thing! What do you have up your sleeve?
I just came to pay my respects to Kyoko's husband.
And to tell him that I'll make Kyoko happy.
He gave me his blessing, too.
How can you lie like that!
I offered incense too. I'm leaving. Out of my way!
I'm sorry I'm late.
Get out of here! Hurry!
- My husband got the time wrong. - It's your fault!
I see.
My wife would often scold me for the same thing.
No, it's her fault. She's to blame.
Huh? Was someone here?
Hmm... it looks like they just left.
My, what expensive- looking bouquets.
Who could have left them?
This belongs to Godai.
What are we going to do?
We have no choice but to hide!
I wonder why Godai was here.
So these flowers are...
Oh, my. A card?
Mr. Mitaka.
You mean that Mr. Mitaka?
Is he a friend of yours?
Yes. She's dating him right now.
Mother!
He's a coach at the tennis school I attend.
I see.
That's not all he is. Don't be shy.
- What of it? - You don't have to hide it.
So what?
I see. So you finally decided to remarry. I see, I see.
Father...
I feel relieved.
When I think about it, I felt bad that you were bound to the Otonashi family.
Er... that's...
We have to report this news to Soichiro.
Just a minute, father.
He'll be happy. He will.
Right, Soichiro?
Father, I...
You want to remarry, right? Right, Kyoko?
Yes.
Kyoko!
I do want to remarry.
I do, but...
Ms. Otonashi...
Fancy meeting you here.
Oh, my, Mr. Mitaka!
Damn, that guy! When did he...?
I'm so glad you were still here.
Yes, I was thinking of leaving,
but I wanted to remember where Soichiro's grave was.
H-He's lying.
Mr. Mitaka, this is Kyoko's father-in-law.
- You're Soichiro's father... - Thank you for the flowers.
Not at all. Please excuse me for being so forward.
Don't just stand there. Say hello.
I... well...
Hurry.
Hello...
Nice to meet you.
He's quite a handsome fellow, Kyoko.
Why, you two make a nice couple.
Yes. You seem almost too good for Kyoko.
Not at all.
D-Damn!
Instead of standing around here, why don't we go and have some tea?
Okay, Mr. Mitaka?
S-Sure.
Kyoko, what are you doing?
Er...I'd like to stay at the grave a little longer.
Okay. We'll be waiting at that coffee shop there then.
Ms. Otonashi, I'm sorry. This wasn't my intention.
I just wanted to pay my respects to your husband.
I bet you think I'm lying.
No, not at all.
Mr. Mitaka!
Coming!
Please believe that I never intended to disrupt your grave visiting.
Humph, what a show off.
Soichiro...
Tell me... if I really did remarry, would you feel better?
Maybe it'll just make you worry more...
because he's not very dependable...
But...
when it becomes spring, I'm sure...
B-But, Soichiro...
I won't remarry right away.
Godai!
Don't you have to go to the preschool?!
The kids are waiting!
E-Err...
Soichiro, I will remain single until the spring.
What?
M-Manager... I... I'll do my best.
I'll find a job and become a real man.
By... by spring, I promise you...
Welcome!
Kyoko! Over here!
You're late.
Yes, I got caught up.
Welcome.
- Coffee, please. - Yes, ma'am.
Oh, I'm so thirsty.
We heard a lot from Mr. Mitaka.
He told us he turned down a good marriage arrangement for you.
Please don't take it the wrong way.
I'm not asking her to marry me because I turned the other girl down.
To me, Ms. Otonashi is my one and only
whom I'll give up anything for.
That's quite a resolve.
You are so lucky, Kyoko!
There is one thing I realized after my marriage arrangement with Asuna.
And that is to pursue the relationship no matter how Kyoko feels.
The power of my resolve is something to be feared.
Her father seems stubborn
but I'll convince him by playing it smart.
I'm going to marry Kyoko, no matter what...
Got that, Ms. Otonashi?
Huh? Err...
Accept this, Godai.
So you finally found a job, right?
- No. I turned it down. - What?!
C'mon, Yagami. Go home.
Next: "You Go, Godai! You Do Have Pride, After All"
Why's he trying so hard to look cool?
