The princess who lives in this small kingdom...
... was raised very, very carefully in this small castle, but...
My mother-in-law gave it to me.
When I was finally accepted as a daughter-in-law of this house.
From now on...
Please look after this house...
... and the family...
... for me, okay?
No matter how tough it is...
Sleep properly...
Eat properly...
Don't let go of the hand of the ones you love.
Jiiji?
Oh, Kahoko! You're here!
What's wrong?
You seem kind of down today.
Yeah...
I was worried about you.
Nah, Jiiji's in tip-top condition!
But never mind that, come on, everyone's already here.
Happy birthday!
Huh?
Why is everyone...?
Kahoko, what's wrong?
Why don't you sit down?
Baaba, how come?
It's your first birthday since becoming a working adult, right?
You finally found a job you want to do, right Kahoko?
Papa is truly happy too.
Oh... Right...
Let's keep having birthday parties with everyone every year, okay?
That's impossible.
Why?
Because...
This must be a dream.
Kahoko...
I love you.
Don't go, Baaba!
I'll always be watching over you.
No way.
Huh? No!
Huh?
No way, no, no, no...
No, no...
I freaked out...
I think marriage...
... is something you should do because it's a time like this.
They say it in the vows, don't they?
"In sickness and in health."
I think what marriage must be about is...
... loving each other, no matter when.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Are you okay, Izumi?
Huh? What's wrong Mama?
It looks like a summer cold.
I think she overdid it taking care of Baaba so the fatigue is showing.
Are you okay, Mama?
This is nothing...
That's why I said you should stay in bed!
You can't even speak!
Mama, Papa.
I'm going to go visit Jiiji.
I'm worried about how he's doing.
Now, now... Don't push yourself.
Please rest.
If something happens I'll be sure to let you know. Okay?
Bye.
Ah... ah...
Before that, just one thing.
Um...
About marrying Hajime-kun.
You're still talking about that? ... Mama says.
Ah... Yeah.
Well, I thought you'd say that, but...
I want to marry Hajime-kun because it's a time like this.
I want to live positively with Hajime-kun
no matter how hard the times are.
Don't say that!
What did she say?
"As usual, Mama is against it."
"If you just go and turn in the marriage papers, you'll be disowned, okay?"
Alright.
Then since it's come to this I'll elope or do whatever I have to do!
... I was going to say, but Baaba said I shouldn't,
so I won't.
So that you will both accept us and we can get married...
Kahoko will work hard!

Jiiji?
Jiiji, are you here?
Where are you? Jiiji?
Jiiji?
You aren't home?
Hello?
Kahoko?
Hello? Jiiji?
Where are you?
I'm going to go see Baaba.
Huh?
Huh? What are you saying, Jiiji?
I have lots of memories with Baaba there.
W-Wait... Don't rush into things, Jiiji!
Don't look for me.
Jiiji?
Jiiji?!
Huh?
So you haven't gotten a hold of him after that?
Yeah...
W-What do I do? What if he tries to kill himself?
This is bad, this is bad!
Calm down.
First off, why don't you ask the others?
If they know a place he has lots of memories with Baaba.
Ah... R-Right.
And, just in case, shouldn't you call Uncle Mamoru?
He might know about an accident or other info.
Good point.
Kahoko-chan.
We're looking into any sightings of someone resembling him.
Thank you, Uncle Mamoru.
Kahoko!
- Did you hear anything? - No, not yet.
Where did he go?!
I'll ask my husband if someone like Papa has been taken to hospital.
Thank you, Secchan.
Sorry for the trouble my family's causing.
What are you saying?
You haven't had any asthma... attacks?
[TN: They're correcting themselves to formal/distant language.]
No, um...
You aren't drinking too much... are you?
No... Um, I'm not.
Hey, why don't you...
Is it really okay this way?
Baaba told me,
while you're alive, you can't let go of the hand...
More importantly, right now we have to look for Papa.
Setsu!
Do you know any places he has lots of memories with Mama?
Huh?
Like for their honeymoon...
- Or the place they met, right? - Yeah, exactly.
Oh right, Kahoko.
Why don't you ask Izumi-chan?
Right, she's the eldest. She would know more about Papa and Mama.
Oh... Mama's not in good shape...
I don't want her to exert herself.
And if she knows, she'd definitely come to lead the search.
Really? I just sent her a text, though.
Huh, really?
[Home]
- Hello? - Kahoko!
Why didn't you call me?
... Mama said really angrily.
I'm sorry. But Mama's not in good condition,
I didn't want to make her worry too much.
"Never mind. Did you find Jiiji?" she says.
Not yet...
Can you ask her if she knows anywhere Jiiji would go?
There's only one place it could be... she says.
Huh, where?
Really?
Huh? What did she say?
She said it's Jiiji's house.
But he wasn't there?
Look again.
That's the only place full of memories of Baaba.
I see...
I got it.
Tell that to Mama.
- Kahoko? Where are you going? - Kahoko?
Jiiji's house!
What?
Ah... Sorry about this, Hajime-kun!
Will you look with me?
Let's look. But is he really here?
Jiiji? You're here, aren't you?
- I'm coming in... - Reply!
Jiiji!
Jiiji~! Sorry for calling you that.
It's Hajime!
Jiiji?
Um... I don't mind if you call me Tamotsu.
Can you come out?
Jiiji?
Hey...
He isn't here after all, is he?
He must be. Mama knows about Jiiji and Baaba the best.
Then... I'll go look upstairs.
Thank you!
Jiiji!
Jiiji?
Jiiji!
Jiiji?
Jiiji... Ji...
Jiiji...
Jiiji!
- Kahoko! - Kahoko!
Did you find Papa?
No, not yet. Hajime-kun is searching the second floor, though.
We'll go look upstairs too.
- Yeah, we'll go. - Thank you.
Where did you go, Jiiji?
Huh?
Jiiji!
What are you doing here?!
- Kahoko. - Yeah?
Why do people still get hungry at times like these?
Why don't you come out then?
I don't want to!
I'm going to stay here forever!
Huh? Why?
Kahoko!
You found Jiiji?
Yeah. But he won't come out, he said he'll stay here forever.
What?
Why?!
Why are you saying unreasonable things, Papa?
- Huh? - Huh?
... Izumi says.
Oh, Mama has a cold right now and she can't speak.
Oh...
She's right. Papa, why are you in a place like this?
You said you were going to a place with lots of memories with Baaba, but...
When we were young...
I played hide and seek with Baaba all the time.
Huh? What?
When she was being picked on by my mum and my sister,
I couldn't do anything for her.
So I said, "At the very least, is there anything you want?"
She said "Then... will you play hide and seek with me?"
So then...
Baaba hid in here?
No matter how much I asked her to come out...
She kept crying.
She said "I don't want to leave here ever again."
So I said...
"Then..."
"Let's stay together forever..."
"And while looking at the sky..."
"Let's die together."
But why did you go first, Hatsuyo?!
If she hadn't been with me...
... this might not have happened!
That's not true!
Jiiji...
You know...
When I got to talk to Baaba about lots of stuff at the end...
She told me.
Why she loves you.
Huh?
You know what she said?
"Jiiji doesn't understand how I feel at all,"
"so... goodness knows how many times I thought of splitting up with him, but..."
"More than that..."
"When I'm with Jiiji, there are so many fun times."
Like in summer,
when Baaba was watering the garden,
and worrying about how to raise the kids...
Jiiji suddenly launched a water gun attack from behind...
Baaba got you back with water from the hose,
so you were both dripping from head to toe, laughing your heads off.
Or how in autumn, when Baaba was sweeping the fallen leaves,
you started sprinkling the leaves she'd gathered on her.
She said when she was with you,
there's no point worrying.
Anything tough or anything painful just flies away.
That's why...
You should go back to the old cheerful, mischievous Jiiji,
who always said "let's all take a photo!"
That's right, Papa.
Ah... That's what Izumi's saying.
I'm sure that's what Mama wants too, Papa.
She's right.
It's okay to just sulk right away.
Okay!
Let's all take a photo, then!
I'll take it, then.
No, it's okay!
Get in it too, Tamotsu-kun.
It's Hajime. Could you maybe learn it...
Then I'll take it.
This is my own statement.
No, no. It's okay, father. I'll take it.
No, it's okay.
Wait... Can you not call me that yet?
Sorry.
In that case...
I can take it.
Uncle Mamoru!
You came?
Isn't that a relief, Kahoko-chan? You found Jiiji.
I'm sorry for worrying you, Mamoru-kun.
Then you should get in the photo too.
Right.
No, no. Um...
Never mind me.
You know, I'm not family anymore.
Don't say that, Uncle Mamoru!
Tamaki-chan...
Is this really okay?
You both...
You worry that you're not good people,
but I think it's normal for humans to think bad things.
More than that, I think it's actually more wonderful to work hard to become a good person.
So you shouldn't...
Uh... You know...
That thing... Um...
For the rest... Hajime-kun, take it away!
Don't just pass the buck.
Please! I'm not good at saying good things at times like this.
Well...
What I think she's trying to say is...
No one gets through their whole life as a good person.
So instead of mourning the past or worrying about the future...
It's better to live believing in the love and kindness you have now... isn't it?
What's with that face like a mother smiling and saying "good job"?
I just noticed recently,
you make a "how's that?!" face after you say something good, don't you?
Hey...
Was there a need to point that out right now?
Oh, sorry.
Then, say some more good things.
If you make an unreasonable request like that, my mind just goes blank.
Ahh, sorry.
Oh, but... You said so, didn't you?
"Marriage is about promising to love each other in sickness and in health."
So, you might be going through a hard time right now...
But I don't want you to be apart!
I want you to be together!
No, you should be together!
I mean... Look...
You two look really good together.
See, you even have a pair look going on today...
Why are you crying, Maa-kun?
I don't really know, but...
I wonder why. When I turned in the divorce papers...
When I realised that...
Everyone here wouldn't be my family anymore, I just...
I got lonely.
You know, Tama-chan...
My drinking... and your shoplifting...
They're...
They're illnesses...
That we'll have to fight our whole lives to fix.
So...
Just like Kahoko-chan and Hajime-kun said...
If we stay together no matter what...
We'll have lots of healthy times.
Please believe it... Let's try believing it.
I mean I want to be with you forever!
And everyone here too!
Then...
This time...
We'll have to have Kahoko and Hajime-kun be our witnesses.
That way we won't be able to separate so easily.
Yes.
Alright!
Then let's take a family photo!
A photo. Okay?
- Come on, come on. - Then, this time I'll take it.
No, it's okay, Tamotsu-kun!
I told you, it's Hajime.
We still can't!
Why not, Kahoko?
Because...
Ito-chan still isn't here.
Kahoko...
Thank you!
Please, Papa.
Can we wait?
We promised Kahoko-chan we'd do something about Ito.
That's fine by me.
... Izumi says.
Excuse me, this...
Is it for sale?
Ah... yes.
No, it's not!
Wait, why are you here?
We all looked up and kept watch on places you might go to sell your cello.
- Huh? - I'm sorry.
This isn't for sale.
What? Wait...
Hey!
- Hey! - Stop!
Why are you... so meddling?
I told you, didn't I? You can't sell this cello!
That's my choice, isn't it?!
You can't~!
Now, now...
Both of you calm down...
Are you okay, Hajime-kun?
Yeah... Probably.
Give it back already!
Then, then, then...
I'll buy it!
- Huh? - How much do you want?
50 thousand? 100 thousand? 1 million? 2 million? 3 million?
If it's that much, I have savings,
but if it's more than that, you'll have to let me pay in installments.
Are you stupid?
What would you do with it?!
Uh... Um...
If you need it one day, I'll sell it to you.
Um... Ah... No...
Wait, I'll give it to you. Yeah, you can have it!
You...
Why do you like to meddle so much?!
It can't be helped! We're family, after all.
To me, you aren't...
No matter what happens,
you can't stop being part of my family.
No matter how much you hate me, I'll protect you.
Because I promised Baaba.
I won't cut the thread (Ito) between you and me.
I'm sorry it ended up like a pun at the end, though.
- Are you stupid? - I am stupid!
That's why,
if you're annoyed, we should just fight more!
Like Mama and Tamaki-chan and Secchan!
Since neither of us have any siblings.
Ito-chan...
If I join the family, I won't be any less meddling than Kahoko.
Because I love your cello!
For me too, I finally worked out why I want to draw now.
As Kahoko says, it's to make people happy!
You can make way more people happy with music than I can. That's why,
you definitely shouldn't quit something this wonderful!
You can't separate yourself from the things you love!
Do you think she'll be okay?
She promised she wouldn't sell her cello.
We just have to trust her.
You're right.
Plus, we have to start thinking about us now too.
You're right.
Alright!
Then, let's keep this up,
and go get permission to get married from Mama?
I'm really nervous, though.
Ah!
I'm sorry, we still can't.
Why?
There's one more thing I have to do first.
What is it?
Excuse me...
Oh, Kahoko!
Nice to see you!
What's happening today?
I was just wondering what was happening
with the children's home/creche/tutoring school you said you'd make on the second floor.
Oh, that...
Huh? Huh?
Don't tell me you put it off again?
Or say "I'll do it tomorrow"?
How could that happen?
The plan is already done.
Preparations are steadily underway to start construction~
That girl hasn't gotten any decent sleep since then, just more enthusiastic.
She won't let us rest at all!
So that's why you two are so tired.
Kahoko!
I looked into it, and if it's a general incorporated association, the procedures are easier.
And you can get authorisation in 4 weeks.
You know,
like you were saying the other day,
I want to create a place that kids who can't spend much time with their parents can come to freely
and receive lots of love that's like a real parent's.
Because I'm the one who knows best how nice it is to have a place
that you can go back to any time, even if you get hurt or make a mistake.
Mum, Dad.
Thank you for everything.
I'll work hard for you two, too.
I never thought I'd hear you say that...
I'm glad I'm alive!
Oh please, don't cry!
Come on!
Ahh...
Um...
By the way,
does it look like you'll get enough staff members?
It's okay. I'll do something about it.
Then what about repaying your debt?
I'll do something about that too.
That's no good! "I'll do something about it" is a line people who don't have any solution say.
... Hajime-kun said.
Ah... Yeah.
... sorry.
Oh, we can do that tomorrow...
That's no good, huh?
Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Kyoko.
Um...
I have two requests.
What are they, Kahoko?
The first is...
Please pay off the debt with my savings.
- Huh?! - Huh?!
We can't do that.
It's okay, it's okay.
Even if I have it, I won't use it.
And um... it has something to do with my second request.
What's that?
The second is...
Please let me work here with everyone.
- Huh?! - Huh?!
I'll do my best to get a childcare license.
What do you think, Hajime-kun?
Isn't that okay?
Thank you.
Oh, I have another request for everyone.
Um...
I want to marry Hajime-kun...
Would you approve of us?
I'm asking you too.
Of course!
Congrats, Kahoko.
Look after Kaho-chan, okay? Hajime-kun.
Yes.
So? Where are you having the ceremony?
- Ah... - Ah...
We weren't thinking about that at all.
For now, we were just going to turn in the papers.
Oh, that's no good!
That's right!
It's a once in a lifetime event.
But Papa and Mama haven't given us permission yet.
Then hurry up and go get permission!
We'll think of some plans for your wedding in the meantime.
We got busy all of a sudden, huh?
But having lots to do is nice, isn't it?
Now...
The rest is up to us.
Let's work hard to get them to allow us.
Are you okay, Kahoko?
You might be nervous,
but you look like a koi fish asking for food.
Sorry.
Mama.
Papa.
About my future...
So that I can work
in the children's home/creche/tutoring school that Aunt Kyoko will make,
I want to get a childcare license.
Huh... really?
Just like Mama and Papa have protected me until now,
I want to protect these children.
I said I wanted to work to make people happy.
This is my answer.
Will you allow it?
Ah... Yes...
If that's what you want to do.
Also...
About getting married.
If possible, we want to submit the marriage papers next Wednesday.
No, no... You don't have to rush so much.
When I said I wanted to do it on that day, Hajime-kun agreed.
We weren't planning on having a wedding at all,
but when Grandpa found out he said "that's no good!"
But when I said it's too sudden, we have no venue or any money,
Uncle Mamoru said "there's a church at Hajime-kun's orphanage, why not have it there?"
and discussed it with the head teacher.
Then Tamaki-chan said "I'll take care of the dress,"
Secchan said "Then I'll take care of the cake,"
the whole thing just kept getting bigger and bigger.
It's feels kind of uncontrollable now.
No but, where are you going to live?
Well...
Jiiji asked... if we would live with him.
I want to do that.
I want to take care of Jiiji,
and look after that house that Baaba has looked after until now.
What do you think?
Mama... Papa...
Will you please allow it?
Please.
For me...
I'll agree if Mama says it's okay.
Huh?
It might be unfair,
but I don't want you to go as far as to cut parental ties to get married.
What about you, Mama?
Izumi...
Of course I'm against it.
Right...
Wait, you can talk?
I feel much better after a night's rest.
Kahoko...
I said if you want to get married no matter what, we'd have to cut ties first, right?
Yes, but I definitely don't want to do that.
Right. Neither do I.
No, we could never cut ties in this lifetime.
But what about you?
You're pointlessly refreshing and say pointlessly good things,
so won't you ogle other women even if you get married?
Right, Papa?
No, I don't think...
Also you apparently say that you'll surpass Picasso,
but does that mean you'll have more lovers than Picasso?
- Huh? - Huh?
I looked into it and Picasso had one woman after the other.
That's true,
but despite how I look, I'm not popular.
That's right, he's not that good at romance.
It kind of hurts if you say that, though.
- Ah, sorry. - What I want to know is...
Whether or not...
... you're resolved to make Kahoko more happy than I can.
After a long and difficult infertility treatment,
I gave birth to her with all my strength.
That's why in the future,
no matter what difficulty or mistake Kahoko faces, I can't just look the other way.
If you get divorced, you'd just be a stranger,
but I have to take responsibility for Kahoko's whole life.
But what about you?
What can you do?
The most you can do is love her, isn't it?
Right now...
I'm...
... so scared...
I want to escape from here.
- Then... - But I won't run!
Because I don't want to be separated from Kahoko-san.
B-Because I want to join Kahoko-san's family.
I'll stay by her side no matter what...
I won't let go of her hand...
And so that one day you will accept me,
I'll grin and bear it and do my best.
Really.
Yes.
Then do what you want.
Mama...
Wait, Izumi.
After having the ceremony in the church,
if you're okay with a place like this,
how about a simple reception?
Thank you, sensei.
Um...
If you don't mind,
could you teach me about your work later?
Of course!
You've found a nice person, haven't you, Hajime?
Thank you.
Kahoko~!
- Ah, Jiiji! - Congratulations for today!
Thank you!
Congrats, Kahoko! This is the wedding dress.
My friend has a rental shop,
so I chose the one that will look the best on you.
Thank you, Tamaki-chan!
We went to turn in our marriage registration today too.
- Ooh, congratulations! - Thank you!
This time I'll cherish Maa-kun more and more.
I'll never let you go again.
What am I saying?
Hey, can you stop flirting over there?
The wedding cake is heavy.
Sorry, sorry.
I'll leave it here, okay?
Kahoko-chan, Setsu stayed up all night making this.
Thank you, Secchan!
Oh...
How is Ito-chan doing?
Lately she hasn't been hanging out with that bunch,
she's secluded herself in her room listening to music.
I asked her to come with us, but she didn't reply.
I see...
Okay! Let's all take a photo then!
Why don't you wait until everyone's here?
Yeah, Izumi-chan and onii-san aren't here either.
Hey, Kahoko...
Those two really aren't coming?
Ah...
Yeah...
Can't we do something about that?
It's Kahoko's special day...
Kahoko!
Papa!
Sorry I'm late.
It's okay.
Where's Mama?
I tried to persuade her but it was no use.
I see.
Hey! Feeling down won't help anything.
Alright! Let's take a photo! Okay?
Come on, gather in.
- Over there, over there. - Which way? Where?
Line up, line up. You too, Tamotsu-kun.
Those two go in the middle, right?
Here I go!
You don't quite fit... Hang on a second...
Ah, what do I do! I'm sorry!
Ahh, I'm sorry!
- What do I do? - The dress!
- Are you serious?! - Papa~!
What is it, Papa?
Izumi, can't you come here?
The cake is destroyed,
the dress is ripped, it's all going wrong.
My mum slipped on the cake too,
and dropped all the food she made.
So you need me to help when you're in trouble?
That's not it.
I'm asking if it's okay for your daughter's wedding to be ruined!
Isn't it Kahoko's fault for rushing to get married?
You still don't know why Kahoko was so set on today, Izumi?
Huh?
It's because...
It's our anniversary.
Hey, Izumi...
Until now...
We've been a wall that protects Kahoko...
But now...
Aren't we becoming a wall she can't get over?
Then... we should open up a gate.
Her future is the one thing you can't guarantee for her.
I get it.
So you'll come?
Sorry, can't.
Huh? Why?
Because...
On the other side of that bridge...
There are lots of cars... It's dangerous.
Izumi...
This is a chance for you to get over that wall too.
- I'm sorry... - I'm sorry...
H-Hey... What...
Hey! You guys!
What are you doing?
Mama!
They're saying they won't have the wedding.
The priest has plans too.
What are you saying?
Kahoko...
Is that all your love and resolve came to?
Just because it's not going that well,
you're going to call off your wedding?
And yet you say "we'll do our best no matter how tough it is", how ridiculous!
... sorry.
Don't be mad at Kahoko!
It's all my fault!
Never mind. Come here, everyone.
Huh?
Setsu, the cake?
Huh?
I can't make it now so I was just going to buy a normal one.
I bought ingredients so make another one. I'll help too.
Okay.
Mamoru-kun and Atsushi-kun decorate that room with this.
- Yes. - Understood.
Izumi!
- Hm? - What should I do?
For Papa...
Recite a poem or whatever. Get the priest in a good mood so that he'll wait.
Oh, right. Okay, okay.
Is this what Izumi-san was like?
- First I've seen it. - She's kind of scary.
Mum and Kyoko-san...
Don't just stand there, help cook!
Okay~
Dad... It'd be lonely without guests,
ask the kids if they'll attend.
Got it!
Mama...
Papa~!
Make that guy get changed.
I brought your suit. Here.
You were going to get married in that?!
Ah... Sorry.
- Let's go, Hajime-kun. - Yes, sir.
Hey... Mama?
You change into this.
Hey is this... your wedding dress?
Never mind that...
Here, help her get changed.
Come on Kahoko, let's go.
Quick, quick!
Kahoko, hurry!
Ah, right.
This'll definitely look good on you!
You look beautiful, Kahoko!
Okay, let's take a photo!
Papa, photos later. We don't have time.
- Later then. - No more problems, right?
- Then everyone go inside. - Okay, let's go in.
Let's take a photo inside!
Ah...
- Papa! - Hm?
When you hear the wedding march, walk straight down the aisle, okay?
Yes... Got it.
- Hey, Mama? - Hm?
Um...
Since you came...
That means you allow the marriage, right?
- Onee-san, there's trouble. - What's wrong?
I just asked the people here, and they said they haven't prepared the wedding march.
Oh, that's okay.
What do you mean?
- Go in, go in. - Why?
- Do a good job, Papa. - Wait...
W-What do you think she's planning?
No clue...
- Papa... - Hm?
This might not be the right time but...
Thank you for looking after me all this time!
Let's not do that...
Let's not...
Yo!
You're the best in Japan, Kahoko!
Oh no Papa, don't cry!
I can't do that!
Hajime-kun.
Yes.
If you thought I was always nice, you were severely mistaken.
Huh?
If you make Kahoko unhappy I'll beat you to death.
Thank you, Ito-chan.
I'm sorry it was such a bad performance.
What are you saying?
It was wonderful!
It's the world's best wedding march.
Yeah.
I was surprised, though. I didn't think you'd come.
Kahoko-chan's mum got angry at me.
She said "If you feel grateful to Kahoko,"
"make sure to go tell her."
Huh?
Kahoko-chan...
I won't be apart from music ever again.
I'll sing or compose or whatever it takes,
and make people happy through music.
It might not be that simple, but...
I won't give up.
Like you.
Now please exchange rings.
Yes.
Is that...?
Mama gave it to her.
She said she'll use it instead of a wedding ring.
Ah! Wait...
Mama!
That was close...
Thank you, Mama.
Kahoko...
Up until now...
For making Papa and Mama both so happy...
Thank you.
Just like before...
I want to hold your hand forever, but...
From now on,
live together with Hajime-kun,
and make everyone here and the people you will meet from now on really happy.
Kahoko...
You have the key to open the door to everyone's hearts.
Mama.
Hm?
I have two requests.
The first is...
Please hug me.
I'm all dirty.
No, it's okay.
What's the second one?
The second is...
You have to live a long life, okay?
When Baaba died,
and I saw how depressed you were...
I wondered what I'd do if I lost you.
So...
I got it.
I'll live until you tell me I can stop!
Thank you, Mama.
I want to tell everyone else too.
Thank you, Papa.
Thank you, Jiiji.
Thank you, Tamaki-chan.
Thank you, Uncle Mamoru.
Thank you, Secchan.
Thank you, Uncle Atsushi.
Thank you, Ito-chan.
Thank you, Grandpa.
Thank you, Grandma.
Thank you, Aunt Kyoko.
Thank you, Hajime-kun.
Everyone in this room...
If a single one of you wasn't here...
I wouldn't be who I am today.
Everyone...
I love you.
Go on, Kahoko. The ring.
Oh right, the ring.
- Hajime-kun, the ring. - Yes.
The ring.
And so, the princess became the new queen of a small kingdom.
Kahoko~
Hey, Papa.
Huh? What?
Should we get divorced?
Huh?
If Kahoko's not here, we don't have anything to do together...
It's okay for us, don't you think?
I'll leave what happened next to your imaginations...
[1 year later]
[Namiki] [Mugino Hajime, Kahoko]
I'm home~
Welcome back!
Hey, today...
I sold 7 of them! 7 portraits.
Oh. Hajime-kun, do you need dinner tomorrow?
Well, um...
I don't have my convenience store job so... probably.
"Probably" is a problem for me.
Uh... Then I do, I do.
Ahh! Don't sit there in your dirty clothes.
- I just cleaned there... - Sorry, sorry, sorry...
Wait...
Don't you think you're getting similar to your mum lately?
T-That's not true!
Oh yeah!
Hajime-kun, can you help me?
To get out the tables and floor cushions.
But I have to do some creative work now.
What are you saying? Today's Ito-chan's birthday party, isn't it?
Oh, right.
- Behind you. - Oh, thanks.
This...
... is the first time for me.
What is?
I'm finally understanding
how amazing Baaba was.
It wasn't just this big house,
she kept the gateway, foyer and garden all clean,
and for New Year's or birthday parties,
she made lots of delicious food for us.
Yeah.
Right.
Can I really do this?
Looking after this house and the family.
Hey!
Huh?
I told you, you can do it.
You just have to keep Mama's strength to stand any trial,
and never forget Papa's kindness.
What's with that face?
Because...
You were making a face like "I said something good, didn't I?" again.
Shut up!
Anyway, stop saying that!
I can't say anything back.
- Ow... - Ahh! Are you okay?
Wait, wait...
Ow! It hurts!
Surely the princess will still have times she needs the queen's help for some time, but...
♪ That's right, my mum's is long too
Okay, second verse!
[Kahogo House]
♪ Mr Elephant, Mr Elephant
[Kahoko House]
♪ Who do you love?
♪ You see, I love my mum
Kahoko.
What is it?
He wet himself.
We have faith.
That that Overprotected Kahoko, who was always looked after,
with that strength that's packed with pure love,
would protect the family, and the people she would meet in the future.
What are you doing?
When I look at the blue sky...
I remember Baaba.
Yeah.
No matter how tough it is...
Sleeping properly...
Eating properly...
Not letting go of the hand of the one I love.
That's how I'll live.
Watch us, Baaba.
What?
