00:00Kazuu! Take this to Momo!
00:03Got it!
00:04My name is Kazuyamada. I'm a 22-year-old newcomer working at Koiwa Trading.
00:10This flashy and handsome guy is my senior, Charao.
00:13I wonder if he was out late again yesterday. He seems tired.
00:18Hey, this is from Charao.
00:20Ah, thank you very much.
00:24The name of the plainest and gloomiest woman in the office is Momo Kimura.
00:29She's the so-called office queen, the only one left from the previous generation of employees,
00:35many of whom have gotten married and stopped working now.
00:38I've never seen her laugh.
00:40It would be better if you told him to carry it himself.
00:44Well, I'm a junior. Doing odd jobs is also part of the job.
00:50I see.
00:52Then I'll tell the section chief myself.
00:55Section chief!
00:57Wait, wait, wait!
00:59Don't give the newcomer extra work.
01:02Yeah, yeah, I got it!
01:05I can see the hierarchy.
01:07Good. If you understand that.
01:11Seriously, she can't be flexible at all. Not cute at all!
01:15Besides, she's too plain. It's natural she's the last one left.
01:19Hey, don't say it like that.
01:23It's lucky that you have me, not that woman to guide you.
01:28I don't really think that way.
01:30But her gestures and fingers are elegant.
01:33Even though she dresses like that, is she actually a beauty?
01:37Well, there's no reason to hide it. Or maybe it's just my imagination.
01:42One day, on a holiday morning, I received a call from my parents.
01:47Mom? Now?
01:50That's right. Come back.
01:52I want to sleep a bit more.
01:54It's almost eight o'clock.
01:56A true Yamada man goes to bed and wakes up early, you know?
02:00Okay. I'll go right away.
02:03Wear a suit. Got it?
02:05Why do I have to wear a suit just to go back home? It's tiring.
02:10My parents have always been strict about boys should become independent early.
02:15Thanks to that, I can handle things on my own, from studies to daily chores.
02:20But when I just started working, and with little savings, I was kicked out of the house.
02:25I cried, but I managed to get by with the help of a low-rent room.
02:31Two hours later.
02:32So, why are we making it so formal?
02:36I said there's an important matter, didn't I?
02:39Well, I didn't hear.
02:41Our family has a long-standing tradition.
02:44According to the Yamada family creed,
02:46a self-sufficient son is supposed to marry a daughter from the Kimura family,
02:50who is in a master-servant relationship to prosper the family.
02:54Huh?
02:56Your grandfather on my side was like that?
02:59Nowadays, it's not really a master-servant relationship. Just a name.
03:04Kazu, you're living a respectable life. It's about time we introduce your fiancée.
03:09Huh? Is that so?
03:12Wait, did you just say fiancée? Mine?
03:15Momo, come in!
03:17Yes.
03:19Excuse me?
03:21So dazzling! She's shining like an idol!
03:24She is Momo Kimura, your fiancée, Kazu.
03:28W-what?
03:30Huh? Momo Kimura?
03:34Finally, we meet like this! I'm so happy!
03:38Can I call you Kazu from now on?
03:41That voice... What? Kimura?
03:45Yes, I'm Momo Kimura.
03:48Whaaat?
03:50Isn't she a different person? W-was she this beautiful?
03:55Momo's family has a lineage of Kunoichi.
03:58It seems they've been watching over you at work.
04:02As a daughter of the Kimura family,
04:04protect from the shadows and devote yourself pure and virtuous to your husband.
04:09That's our grandmother's promise.
04:12The glamorous appearance is a promise to grandma.
04:15For the sake of my future husband.
04:18N-no way. Don't tell me you dressed plainly and looked boring at work because of that.
04:24Huh? Yes, I did.
04:27No!
04:29Um, is our child causing you any trouble?
04:33Not at all. Kazu works very diligently.
04:36Mom, stop! It's embarrassing!
04:39Oh, sorry Kazu. I didn't pick up on that.
04:44N-no, that's not what I meant.
04:47Looking at her again, she's really cute!
04:50From now on, I'll secretly report on Kazu's daily life!
04:54That's not what I meant!
04:56They match perfectly!
04:59With this, it's okay for them to live together.
05:02Huh?
05:04And the next day.
05:06Starting today, let's get along, okay?
05:09Y-yes, please.
05:11This apartment, too, belongs to Kimura's family.
05:14That's why I could rent it so cheaply!
05:17Since we're living together, can we make some rules for each other's sake?
05:21Uh, yes. Feel free to say anything.
05:25Oh, she seems as reliable as usual.
05:28Right. First, let's make sure we hug at least ten times a day!
05:34Huh?
05:35Grandma said to maintain a pure relationship until we get married.
05:40So I won't do anything, except hug!
05:43Huh?
05:45Oh, was it too few?
05:47I calculated four times in the morning and six times after returning home, making it every fifteen minutes.
05:52How about that?
05:54No, I mean, isn't that unrealistic?
05:57What about dividing household chores and stuff?
06:00I see. That's what you meant.
06:03All right, then. I'll handle cooking and cleaning, and you can be in charge of eating and sleeping.
06:09No, no, no! You're just going to spoil me, aren't you?
06:14We're going to be a married couple, right?
06:16It should be fair and equal, regardless of our positions in the house.
06:21Fair? Between you and me?
06:25Y-yes. Oh, could it be, is it because of the grandma's promise?
06:32Kazu! How kind of you! Just being able to live with you is like a dream!
06:39That's not it!
06:41You called us a married couple! I'd give up all my possessions for this!
06:47It's reality, so don't give up everything!
06:50Kim! You're too good! It brings tears to my eyes.
06:57Let's have a rational conversation, please!
07:00Is she really Kimura? The gap is too extreme, even if it's just appearance-wise.
07:07Sorry, I got too excited.
07:11So, let's divide the household chores. Is it okay to do what each of us can do? That kind of feeling.
07:19Yes, that's fine.
07:21And, um, well, since we're engaged, do I have the right to sit or laze around together with you?
07:32Well, if it's just that.
07:35Okay, then I'll excuse myself.
07:38Huh? Sit here? No hesitation!
07:44Kazu is right by my side. Is this paradise? No, maybe heaven.
07:51Um, isn't that exaggerating a bit?
07:54It's too blissful.
07:58I'm sorry. I'm starting to get used to her extreme joyfulness and mood swings.
08:04While surprised by her intense emotions, I found myself enjoying the past few weeks,
08:10trying to match her enthusiasm and feeling delighted by her reactions, which were much more than I had imagined.
08:17This is the first time I've bought flowers. I wonder if she'll be happy.
08:22Wow! It's beautiful! Did someone give you?
08:27No, it's a gift for you.
08:30For me? I'm so happy. Thank you, Kazu.
08:37My pleasure. She's happy. I want to make her even happier.
08:43During work, I continue to treat her the same way, following her belief that she should dress plainly until marriage.
08:50Come to think of it, when we get married, will she dress up cute at work? She'll probably be extremely popular.
08:57Wait a minute. Huh? I might not like it. I don't want her to show her cute side to anyone else but me.
09:05Wait, what am I thinking? She can wear whatever she wants. She's free. I'm allowing her to do whatever she likes.
09:13Uh-oh. I need to pull myself together. I might be the one causing problems before marriage.
09:19Oh, that's right. Your evaluation is connected to my evaluation, you know?
09:25And on the night when I made up my mind...
09:29Kazu, open up.
09:31No, I won't.
09:33It's okay. Just leave the bathroom door open for a bit.
09:37You'll definitely come in.
09:39That's not true. I was just trying to peek.
09:44No, no. Don't surpass my desperately restrained rationality.
09:49A little bit. It's fine, isn't it?
09:53Unfair. She's trying to peek, but the way she says it is unfair.
09:59No, I can't.
10:01Oh, come on. You're mean.
10:04Afterward, somehow, I managed to get into the bath safely.
10:08Hey, Kimura.
10:10I'm not Kimura. After we get married, I'll be Yamada Momo.
10:15Momo?
10:17My baby Momo.
10:19She's completely sulking.
10:22M-my baby Momo...
10:25Um, we have a long relationship ahead of us, right?
10:30I thought we should take things like this step by step.
10:33Is that not okay?
10:35Of course.
10:37How can I not be happy?
10:39Wow.
10:41I'm happy that you're treating me so well.
10:44I'll take care of you for the rest of our lives.
10:47No, I work too. Why would you say that?
10:51Kazu?
10:53Huh? What's wrong?
10:55Well, can we sleep together?
10:59I won't do anything weird, but...
11:02Is it okay if we just hold hands while sleeping?
11:06Uh, sure. Then I'll bring your bedding, okay?
11:09No.
11:11Huh? But...
11:13I'll join you with a pillow, okay?
11:16Yes. There is an atmosphere that I can't resist more than usual.
11:22So close! This might be more dangerous than I imagined.
11:26Let's calm down and talk.
11:28Um, is it really okay for me to be the one you marry?
11:32You don't have to follow the rules of an engaged couple, you know?
11:36Huh?
11:38Well, there was a time when I thought the same.
11:42Upon hearing her story, it seemed that she had become tired of the everyday restrictions on love and fashion imposed to prepare for marriage with me.
11:51Everyone around me seemed happy, getting married or having boyfriends.
11:56I wasn't sure if you could become independent, and I wanted to quit being engaged early.
12:02Yes, I understand. I feel so sorry!
12:07But you know...
12:09Nice to meet you. I'm Kazuyamada. I'll do my best!
12:14This is my future husband. I won't accept him so easily.
12:18You're Kimura, right? Nice to meet you.
12:22What's with that smile? It's so cute!
12:25If he directs this smile at me for the rest of our lives after marriage, isn't that the best?
12:33I thought, this is fate.
12:36Uh, well, being told this is embarrassing.
12:41That's why I can wait forever.
12:44I look forward to being able to tell everyone that you are mine.
12:49Sigh...
12:54Momo, I need to respond properly. No, I want to respond!
13:01It would be nice to get married right away, but if possible, I wanted to buy a ring before proposing.
13:07Expensive. It's not a small amount. Equivalent to three months' salary.
13:13Oh, this would look good on Momo.
13:16Hmm? What is it?
13:18N-nothing at all!
13:20Why are you so flustered, Kazu?
13:23Show it to me!
13:25Wow!
13:27You don't want to show me that much?
13:30Oh, could it be you've taken an interest in another woman?
13:34Are you in contact with her?
13:36Of course not!
13:38Well, hand me your phone.
13:41Um, it's not...
13:43Alright, I understand.
13:47I won't ask anymore.
13:49I'm sorry for being persistent.
13:52Uh...
13:55And so, with a bit of misunderstanding lingering, the next morning arrived.
14:00We attended the company drinking party together.
14:03Momo, is she okay with alcohol, even though she's weak?
14:07I wanted to make up today.
14:09Kazu! Look at my girlfriend! Isn't she beautiful?
14:13Are you jealous? Did you have a girlfriend, by the way?
14:17I don't have a girlfriend.
14:19But I have a fiancé.
14:21That's right!
14:23Oh, what about you and Momo? A good match, huh?
14:26Huh?
14:28Well, both of you are plain!
14:30Momo, you must be happy too, right?
14:33Come on, Shadow! You're going too far!
14:36Even Kimura has the right to choose.
14:40I don't care about myself, but please stop making comments that hurt her feelings!
14:46Huh?
14:47Besides, I believe there's no woman better than her!
14:50Ka...Kazu?
14:53Wait, are you two in that kind of relationship?
14:56Did she just call him Kazu?
14:58Haha! Where's this best woman you're talking about? I wanna know!
15:04All right. This is me. The one Kazu fell for.
15:09Whaaaat?
15:11No way! It can't be true!
15:14Kimura was that beautiful?
15:17So cute! Your hair is so silky! What kind of treatment do you use?
15:23Are you dating Yamada?
15:25Yes! There's no man more wonderful than Kazu! He's my proud fiancé!
15:33Really? Since when? It's a long story if I start explaining.
15:39The drinking party gradually turned into a Q&A session for us.
15:44The outside air feels nice.
15:47Kazu, I'm sorry for acting strange yesterday.
15:51Even if we're engaged, there are things you don't want others to know, right?
15:57Don't worry about it. But more importantly, was it okay with the promise with your grandmother?
16:02You showed that side of yourself to everyone.
16:06It's fine. I wanted to protect you, who protected me. Thank you.
16:13And you know...
16:17Isn't it fine if we get married today?
16:20Huh?
16:21I've kept this just in case whenever you'd be ready.
16:25Oh, of course, if it's okay with you today.
16:28Wow, that's amazing!
16:31Geez, are you that happy?
16:34Yeah, I am happy.
16:37Um, actually, I was looking for an engagement ring yesterday.
16:42Huh?
16:43I'm sorry I couldn't make it in time. I love you. Please marry me.
16:50I don't need a ring.
16:53Words alone are more than enough.
16:55I love you too.
16:57Let's be together forever.
17:00On that day, we became a true married couple.
17:04We completed introductions with each other's parents and also informed our company.
17:09Surprisingly, everyone celebrated us more than we expected.
17:13The story of the public announcement of our relationship along with her cuteness spread,
17:18and it seems Charao got rejected by his girlfriend.
17:22We should decide on a venue soon.
17:25Is it okay to have two outfit changes for the ceremony?
17:29Hmm, maybe seven times?
17:32I want to see your seven transformations!
17:35I don't think anyone cares about my transformations.
17:38I do! Right here!
17:41Oh, by the way, will you choose the dress, Kazu?
17:45Is that okay?
17:47Yeah. I want to share a bow and a kiss in the dress you pick.
17:52R-right.
17:54Oh, but even now is fine, you know.
17:57Huh?
17:59I'll love you forever.
18:01I will love you forever too.
18:05To my wife, who I think might be the cutest in the world,
18:09and the story of the birth of the world's cutest daughter,
18:12there's still a little more to tell.
