we go?
Okay.
Father?
What happened?
No, I'll be okay.
I'm so sorry, Ronin-kun.
No, it's quite alright, father.
I'm sorry, Godai-san.
No, it's nothing.
Um, where are we going?
To the cemetery.
I see.
Soon it will be the first anniversary of
the death of a dear loved one.
I understand.
About now, the ronin is in for a big surprise.
That's for sure.
It's an impossible love.
Now is when it gets interesting, right?
I wonder how he'll find out.
There's no such thing as impossible love.
[Otonashi Family Plot]
Umm... Who is he?
My husband.
Your husband?
So you mean you are...
Yes.
This is the grave of my son, Souichiro.
Souichiro?
Thank you.
Here's some tea.
Thank you.
Kyoko-san.
Yes.
I wonder if it isn't time you to
leave the Otonashi family register.
What?
Why do you say...
I think it would be better.
Are you telling me to forget Souichiro-san?
I am.
I can't.
It's impossible.
But you are still so young.
If though it may be too soon to say so,
you must forget.
A person like you should never be called,
"miboujin" [widow].
Some will say it, though.
I detest the word.
"The person not yet dead."
[literal meaning of "miboujin"]
You are not someone who is "not yet dead".
You are alive.
Isn't that right?
Is it a bother if I stay in
the Otonashi family for now?
What are you saying?
It makes me very happy
that you still think about my son.
But it is you that I think
is most important now.
That's the reason.
If that's the case,
please bear with me a little longer.
What may happen with me in the future
I can't yet say.
But...
but...
Right now I am still Otonashi Kyoko.
Thank you for having me.
Godai-san.
Yes.
I really appreciate your help today.
No, it's nothing.
Umm...
Yes.
He must have been an amazing person.
Yes.
I fell in love with him at first sight.
Huh?
That's why I believe it can happen.
Falling in love at first sight.
Do think it is possible to love anyone else?
Me?
Yes.
I think that
I've already had a lifetime's share of love.
He was a lucky man, wasn't he.
You know, don't you?
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
I'm leaving, Kanrinin-san.
Have a nice day.
Sorry, sorry.
Have a nice day.
Good morning!
Good morning. I'm off.
Have a nice day.
He's really down, isn't he.
Why?
Huh?
Are you really that dense?
Or are you just pretending?
Eh?
Which is it?
For comparisons use, "not so much as"
Whatever is not so much something as another.
It seems complicated at first,
and is in fact difficult to understand.
"He is not so much kind as honest."
He is not so much kind as honest.
"He is not kind so much as honest."
This has the same meaning.
That is, he is not so much "B" as "A".
You're drinking too much.
It'd be better if you stopped.
Shut up!
Quit talking to me like, "my friend Sakamoto".
What are you saying?
Anyway...
For that reason...
Why does that lovely lady...
have to be so certain
that she'll never love anyone else?
She's making a mistake!
Excuse me. It's nothing.
Everything is fine.
There's nothing to worry about.
I'm right, aren't I?
You agree, right?
Well, I don't know...
If you are my friend, you better agree!
Sure, sure, I agree. Sorry, sorry.
Right? Right?
Okay, let's go.
Where?
To my place.
Hey, wait, wait, wait...
Waitress, the check, the check!
Excuse me, what about this?
Godai-san sure is late.
Kyoko-san!
Kyoko!
- Kyo-...
- Stop it! Stop it!
Ow!
Calm down!
You aren't a bad person!
- Be quiet!
- Let me go!
I, Godai Yuusaku,
love Kyoko-san!
I love you!
I love you!
I love you!!!
I love you, Kyoko-san!
He's smashed.
When he drinks like that,
there's nothing he thinks he can't do.
He's indecisive, good for nothing,
and won't amount to anything, right.
It's you, Kyoko-san.
Hey, it's late.
Please stop shouting.
Did you hear what I said?
About my love for you?
Yes, I heard it quite well.
Is that so?
In that case,
I, Godai Yuusaku, ...
That's fine. Shall we go in?
Sure.
