Marry Me | Highlight EP6
Sawamoto, do you have time tomorrow? – If you don’t mind, let’s go out somewhere.
– What? I’ll be in the area for two days. So if you don’t mind… Go ahead. I’ll be home
late tomorrow due to work. Okay. – Sawamoto.
– What? Mitsugi-kun? Have you come back? I am… quitting baseball. I see. Just as I predicted,
you’re not asking me why. It’s just as I thought. Thank you for taking me home. It has been a long time since I was here. It surely has. Also, my surname isn’t Sawamoto anymore. – What?
– I got married so it’s Akiyasu now. “Married”? Sawamoto, did you get married? Yes, just recently. I still live in the same house, though. I see. I’m home. Akiyasu-san. Hello. I’m Himari’s husband, Akiyasu. I’m her classmate from
middle school, Mitsugi. “Classmate”? Can I offer incense to her
grandfather and grandmother? What? Yes. Please go ahead. Thank you, Mitsugi-kun. It’s the first time I’ve met
one of Himari-san’s friends. Moreover, a man too. Mitsugi-kun, have some tea. Thank you. Why don’t you stay for
dinner? I’m making ginger pork. No, I shouldn’t… Why don’t you? It’s been such a long time. Well, then I’m going to cook. Hey, wait! Where did you meet Sawamoto? How many years did you two date? Well. These are difficult questions to answer. She smiles a lot more now. You mean Himari-san? I guess so. Are you sure she’s not forcing herself to? What? The biggest reason
Sawamoto smiles is because she doesn’t want
anyone to worry about her. Mitsugi-san. Can I talk to you for a moment? Have you heard about
the NEET Protection Law? Himari-san and I were chosen by the
government and married because of this law. What? This is by mutual consent, of course. Himari-san’s grandmother
registered her as a test candidate. You’re a public servant, and
Sawamoto is a test candidate. Does that mean you two married
because it’s only part of your job? There’s no love
between you two, and you married her based on
her application, right? I originally had no desire to get married so if not for my job duties, I
don’t think I would have married. But… for Himari-san, her family
wanted her to be a part of this. I don’t think it’s a bad thing for there
to be more options available now. Akiyasu-san, do you feel
nothing for Sawamoto? I… want Himari-san to make her own decisions. Have you two finished talking? Yes. I guess. Then let’s have dinner. Thank you, but I’ll have to
excuse myself for today after all. Thank you for having me. Sawamoto, do you have time tomorrow? – If you don’t mind, let’s go out somewhere.
– What? I’ll be in the area for two days. So if you don’t mind… Go ahead. I’ll be home
late tomorrow due to work. Okay. If you had met Sawamoto without this law, – would you have fallen in love with her?
– What? Can you appreciate
her for who she really is? I couldn’t answer him on the spot. I would have wanted to meet Himari-san
under normal circumstances if I could. Akiyasu. How is the questionnaire doing
for the proposal that I assigned you? Oh, well… Wait a second. Looks like it just disappeared. – What?
– Sorry, I’ll redo it right away. – Hey!
– Hold on a second! Are you okay, Akiyasu? That should be it. I restored all the data. Be careful next time. I’m sorry. I’m returning to my university dorm. I see. Thank you for giving me the opportunity
to spend time with Sawamoto today. It’s fine. I said some rude things to you earlier. All I want is for
Himari-san to live happily. All I want… is for
Akiyasu-san to live happily. That is how I feel. Both of you put the other
person first before yourself. Maybe that’s why I assumed you
weren’t serious in the beginning. But I realize you two
truly care for each other, and that is reflected in your marriage. No matter the means, as long as
Sawamoto is happy, then that’s fine. This person truly values Himari-san. Well, then please send
my regards to Sawamoto. I will. Take care. Turns out that someone from Himari-san’s
past thinks the same way as I do. If the old me had met someone like him, I might have backed down. But for the me now… I’m back. What? Himari-san! Are you okay? Himari-san! Himari-san! Yes! I’m okay! Himari-san! This is…. It’s plum wine my grandma made. I tried some to see how it tasted. It was delicious! You’re drunk… Did you have fun… with Mitsugi-kun? What? It was fun. Then why are you crying? I… Do I not look happy…
in the eyes of others? I… was happy even though you were just
treating me well because it was your job. Every day is fun. That’s
more than enough for me. Do you really think…
this is just work to me? Did you think all of
this was just for my job? The reason why I’m treating
you this way, Himari-san, is— Is there another reason? How do you think I felt when
I told Mitsugi-kun the truth? What? After all, Himari-san, you
must have liked him, right? You’re wrong. I had always thought that it would be
best if you found someone you truly liked. I realize I wouldn’t have met you… if it wasn’t for my job. But I am grateful that I was able
to meet you because of this job. I need you, Himari-san, much
more than you could ever fathom. Will you not need me… one day? That won’t happen. I’m so relieved. Himari-san! Himari-san! Please wake up! You shouldn’t sleep in a place like this. I want to be… the one closest to her side. I slept well. Himari-san, you’re awake? Yes. What happened? Don’t you remember? I did think it would turn out this way. Well, then… I’ll prepare the bath. I’ll do it. Himari-san, I love you. My feelings weren’t
properly conveyed to you; I thought I’d start
verbalizing it from now on. Well…. I do, too. I love you, too.
