Marry Me | Highlight EP9
Mom! A baby appeared in my dream. It definitely had to be my little brother. What? Please! Mom! That same dream again… Hey, Akiyasu! Aren’t you
working a little too hard lately? Well… Yes… But for Himari-san’s sake, I have to submit
this amendment as soon as possible. Are you sleeping properly?
Is everything okay? If I work hard enough, they’ll
pass my proposal so this is nothing. Don’t force yourself too hard. Thank you. But writing proposals is
actually enjoyable now. I see… I used to think only about vague
things like corporations and the country, but now people’s faces come to mind. I see. All right. Hey, doesn’t it seem he is really into it? Well… It seems he is working
hard for Himari-san’s sake. Those two have decided to
become more like a married couple, but have they truly been acting
like a real couple after that? Not much else besides
exchanging wedding rings, I guess. They didn’t even have a proper wedding. You’re right. Isn’t their anniversary
coming up in two months? Yes. Why don’t all of us have a party together? That’s good! Let’s do it as a surprise! Did you put this up? Yes. Your new book is
coming out soon too, right? I’m really looking forward to it. Thank you. I had almost given up
writing, but I’m glad I didn’t. It was all thanks to my
family’s encouragement. – Takumi-kun, you must also be excited for
your mother to deliver the baby. – Yes! The baby probably will be really cute. It is. What? It hasn’t even been born yet. A baby appeared in my dream. It definitely had to be my little brother. Is that so? Do people you’ve never met
before appear in your dreams? All the time! Actually, I’ve been
having weird dreams lately. “Weird dreams”? It’s always the same dream too. That sure is rare. Am I… a weird person after all? Hayashi-san came by again? Why? It seems things aren’t going well
between her and Sho-kun lately. Actually, it’s not like
something happened, or rather, it’s because
nothing is happening. I think Hayashi-san must like Sho-kun. What? Really? Yes. I know we shouldn’t interfere,
but it has been on my mind… Not being able to talk to the
person you like must be sad. Okay. Let’s call up Sho. What? Now? Hello? Sho, what’s going on
between you and Hayashi-san? Shin-san, calm down! Come over, right now! – What?
– Please give me that! Sho-kun, do you want to come
over for dinner sometime this week? What? It just seems we
haven’t talked much lately. Okay, got it. Himari-san, let me
give him a good scolding. – We’ll see you then!
– Hey wait! Hello, what– What is happening? – Let’s call him again.
– We should stop! Listen to me. Is this the husband? No, it’s one of the neighbors. What? A neighbor. What did you just say? Someone who lives nearby. Do you think I’m an idiot? I’ve told you countless times
that we can’t use photos like this! Didn’t I tell you to get a photo
with both test candidates? We don’t even know the demand for
a story on the NEET Protection Law. In fact, no one knows. But I don’t care if
they’re just normal people. What’s the use
if we can’t get a scoop? I understand. This isn’t about reporting
stories you want to write! It’s about writing interesting,
entertaining stories that the readers want! I want to take pictures of cats. Himari! Takumi-kun! Welcome home! Could that possibly be? Yes, I bought it! Your dad’s new book! Thanks, Himari. The binding is beautiful. I’m looking forward to reading it. Is it that boy again? What? What are you doing? Takumi-kun, do you know him? No, I just saw him taking pictures. – “Pictures”?
– Well, I– – A cat!
– “Cat”? Is there something about Momotaro? I’ve been going around
taking pictures of cats. I wanted to be an animal photographer. I especially love cats. Then if you’d like, please come in. What? Akiyasu will be angry.
He is a stranger, after all. Cat lovers are all kind people. I just thought of some urgent
matters so I’ll excuse myself. Is that so? Excuse me now. Sorry for intruding. What was that? Let’s go. This can’t be true. How is it? Quite good, right? What’s with this story? I got someone else to
write it because you wouldn’t! Mika, that’s been rescheduled
so notify them again. Mom! Mom! Mom! A baby appeared in my dream. It definitely had to be my little brother. What? – You came by the other day…
– I… This is who I am. I’m sorry for what happened the other day. Actually, I’m a reporter. This is the new issue of our
magazine that was released today. There’s a story about you. What? Is this… It’s an article about you and your wife. This can’t be… It’s a fabricated story
written for entertainment. They must have been desperate for a story. With the pictures I took,
someone else wrote the story. I didn’t intend for it
to turn out like this! I’m sorry! It’s quite accurate though. What? They’ve done a truly spectacular
job at summing things up. That’s not true at all! You work hard and lead a proper life. Articles like this were bound
to come out sooner or later. Well, there will always be people who
are obsessed by stories as a spectacle. I also didn’t hide the reason for
my marriage from those around me. Is that so? Didn’t you keep it a secret? It would be more of an issue
if I hid it, yet they found out. Also, it’s a law that’s already in effect. Especially at the start,
I didn’t even consider maintaining the privacy
of whom I was marrying. All I thought of was the fact that
I was getting married for my job. But… now that I’ve come to care for her more
and more, my thoughts have also changed. I can’t stand to imagine if Himari-san
had gotten married to someone else. I want to eliminate all possibilities
of her getting hurt by this. What was that? Is everything okay? Hey, you! Stop! Hey! Are you the one who broke the window? Why? That’s the family in the
tabloid magazine, right? What? That woman is dishonest,
having a life of pleasure like that. No, it’s a misunderstanding.
Apologize to her. Shut up! It makes me angry! Himari? Takumi-kun. I heard a loud sound; did something happen? It’s dangerous! Don’t come near. What was that? I’ll clean it up now. Himari, are you okay? Himari? Himari? Hello? Hiroki-san? What? Mom! Mom! Hima-chan! I’ll be good from now on! Please! Mom! Mom! Don’t abandon me… Don’t abandon me…
