I had the opportunity to produce my employer's wedding.
Since I'm new at this, it wasn't anything big or fancy,
but I was able to meet the couple's requests.
I've witnessed a lot of joy from the guests.
I've learned that happiness spreads when making others happy.
It was really nice to see that.
That's when I decided to become a wedding planner.
What a nice experience you had.
I can tell how enthusiastic you are.
It's every woman's dream to wed a person one loves.
I want my client to be the happiest bride in the world.

[Episode 11]
I'm home.
Welcome home.
Are you alive?
- Yoshino... - Yes?
Can you give me water?
Here.
Thank you.
I'm revived now.
How was your interview today?
I did what I could.
I don't remember anything towards the end, because I was too nervous.
I see.
But I think I responded well to the questions.
Riko, you did well. I'm proud of you.
I finally found my dream,
so I'll give my all to pursue it.
Since I just started, I have a long way to go.
I want to be more capable, so I can be a good match for Shu.
Riko...
I know he rejected me but isn't it all right to be hopeful a little?
It's fine by me.
- More water? - Please.
The honeymoon changed my world view.
After traveling around Europe, I've realized
I shouldn't just focus on our town.
We need to change the entire country.
You see what I'm saying?
That's typical. Traveling overseas,
changes the world view for some people.
That must be the case for him.
The honeymoon was my first time traveling overseas.
I heard you're looking for a full-time job.
Yeah, I finally started.
You have a good eye (for choosing the job).
If you get the job,
let's plan a project together.
Sure.
Ichihara!
I brought you some souvenirs.
Here you go.
Do you want to hear my story about how my trip changed my world view? It's a pizza.
You know "pizza?"
A pizza in Italy...
- Shuji is leaving soon, isn't he? - Yeah.
It was as twice as bigger than I imagined.
- Saeki? - What was it... the Margarita?
Shu, come with me.
Pizza?
I'm sure you won't be able to eat an omelet on rice frequently.
I don't know if there is ketchup over there. You should take some with you.
We can't have the ketchup-freak lack in ketchup.
I'll be fine.
What a relief. I was worried because you seemed depressed.
I'm sorry that I forced you to come with me.
I wanted to talk to you before you left.
I don't know when I can see you next time.
Is the preparation coming along well?
It's less than a month already.
What exactly are you going to be doing there? Training?
- How about you? - Eh?
How is your job hunting going?
I have a dream now.
I want to become a wedding planner
and plan the most joyful wedding ceremony in the world.
That's great.
I think the job suits you.
You're the one who gave me the idea.
Did I?
After the CEO's wedding, you said the job suits me.
Your comment really spoke to my heart.
You also told me to find a job that motivates me.
I didn't say anything meaningful.
That's not true.
Not having a dream was like facing a big wall to me.
I thought I was climbing the same stairs like everyone else.
I felt like I ran into a wall that stopped me from moving forward.
But you helped me to break through the wall.
That's because you took action. And this is only the beginning.
The other day, I had a final interview with a major company.
I hope my wish comes true.
That's great.
The CEO seems to be a gentle person.
It was Midoriko's referral.
Midoriko?
She helped me when I was depressed for failing all the companies I applied to.
She helped me although I caused her trouble.
Great.
I thought she was an indifferent person,
but actually she is pretty kind.
I bet you already know that.
What?
Nothing. Anyway, I'm going to work hard.
I know you can do it.
Only being reckless is your strong point.
I don't think that's a compliment.
It is.
Thanks anyway. Your words are reassuring.
By the time you come back, I'll be a capable woman. So don't be surprised.
Whatever. I look forward to that.
You don't sound sincere.
Really?
Seriously.
I want ketchup, too.
Can I pour it?
Please do.
- Okay. - Yup.
That's a lot.
It's normal for me.
What is your intention?
What are you talking about?
Why did you meddle in her business?
Well, I only helped her because she needed my help.
I don't think it's as simple as a kind act.
That's not very nice.
Please don't drag her into your scheme.
But she was happy, wasn't she?
My dad wants to have dinner together.
He wants to offer you a new project.
He'd like to hear your answer soon.
Is it really necessary to go that far?
What do you mean?
I'm supposed to be mere merchandise for you.
There is no reason for you to be obsessed with me.
I've changed my mind. Women are fickle.
- I... - Go ahead and reject my offer.
I don't want to force you by doing something you hate.
Just remember.
It's up to me if her dream will come true or not.
I expect to hear a good response from you on this Friday.
I'll pick the outfit for you.
Because I know your style that you look the best in.
What the heck am I doing?
I'm home.
Welcome home.
Midoriko?
Sorry for the intrusion.
I stopped by to deliver you a message.
I couldn't help it, because it looked fun.
What message?
Verde Wedding wants to hire you as an intern.
What? Did I pass?
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
Riko, you did it.
Good for you, Saeki.
So I came to give this to you.
What's this?
They're inviting all the interns and are holding a party.
They asked me to give it to you.
Thank you.
Riko, you have good news to tell before Shuji leaves.
Shuji is not leaving.
What?
He decided to stay in Japan and work.
This is really good.
Why are you telling me that?
Shu is leaving to fulfill his dream.
His dream? He realized there is something more important than his dream.
Something more important?
Of course, it's me.
He chose me.
Why did he...?
With that said, I have a request for you.
Yes?
Don't waver him anymore.
Just because you're his childhood friend, it's troublesome to loiter around him.
Since you found the job,
you have no reason to go to the office.
I wish you disappear before him as soon as possible.
You have no right to say that.
Of course, I do.
Because Shuji and I are going to be engaged.
What?
Please consider what I said. Okay?
Thank you for the food.
You should've cooked with a fresher octopus.
Please excuse me.
Wait.
What is it?
You should take advantage of this opportunity.
Wow, that was...
Arata, who does she think she is?
Does she have to be so mean? What a bully.
Don't ask me because I don't know.
Shu gave up his dream for her sake,
didn't he?
I didn't know he loved her so deeply.
Riko...
We can make it to dinner on time.
Shuji.
What's going on?
What are you saying out of the blue?
Please go first.
Okay.
I heard...
you're staying in Japan and marrying Midoriko.
That's right.
Why?
I know you love Riko.
You rejected her to pursue your dream, didn't you?
I gave up.
What kind of nonsense is that?
Have you ever thought about Riko?
She gave up on you in order to support your dream.
How could you give up your dream so easily?
Let go.
Riko has told me before,
that she wants to see the sky from above.
Isn't that your dream as well?
I know you were leaving her
to fulfill Riko's dream. Am I wrong?
Shuji!
My dad is looking forward to meeting you today.
What did you and Shindo talk about?
Don't you find the shared-space offices boring?
I should set up our own office independently.
Don't you think so?
You're all set.
Thanks. You are good at this as always.
You seem down. Are you up to the party?
I am.
If I don't attend, they may not hire me.
It's a gorgeous party which I expected from a major cooperation.
It's just annoying that the mean beauty brought this invitation.
Midoriko is the one who referred me to the company.
The fact is, it's quite annoying
if a strange woman is following your boyfriend around.
Not only that, he rejected me in the first place.
I know. I know, but...
I was shocked to learn that he gave up his dream.
But I'm sure he feels that she's worth giving up his dream.
Now I have to move forward.
When I stumble and fall, I cry and fuss over that it's too hard to get back up again.
Even at a time like that, I wish there to be a blue sky when I look up.
Well, let me hear your answer.
Are you willing to marry my daughter
and continue working in Japan?
Or are you leaving everything behind to pursue your dream?
I'd like to marry Midoriko.

We're celebrating Shuji and my engagement tonight.
You should think of how Riko feels.
You don't even know how to protect the girl you love?
I want to be with the person I love.
I'm no longer a little girl who needs your protection.
