Marry Me | Highlight EP8
As such, I have a present for you. What? Please, open it. If I were to become unemployed,
would you still be with me? Himari-san. My apologies, I didn’t
notice you were home— What? What happened to you? Oh, this? It’s nothing. More importantly, I’m
sorry about this morning. Please, forget I ever mentioned it. Pardon? If it isn’t Himari-chan. Hello. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? – Yes, indeed.
– What? Did you get a haircut? No… Well, you sort of seem different. It’s like you’ve become… prettier? Or maybe more mature? Dad! – Takumi-kun?
– What’s up? Mom… – Mom collapsed!
– What? – Come on! Hurry!
– H-Hey! – Is she pregnant?
– Yes. Although she will stay in the hospital
for a bit, her condition has stabilized. That’s a relief. Still, Takumi as a brother? Sounds exciting to
have a baby, doesn’t it? Indeed. Himari, do you have any preference
between having a boy or a girl? What? Was it that surprising
of a question to ask? Will any child… come my way? Of course. If I were a baby,
you’d be my first choice. Really? What an honor. Now we’re just speaking nonsense… Yes, our conversation
did get slightly derailed. Allow me to prepare a bath for you. Yes, thank you. Sorry, I’ll go put away my bags. Wait! I’m sorry. No worries. Yamada. Sorry about the other day. Well, that was quick. See you. Wait, Akiyasu. Why exactly are you apologizing? “Why,” you ask? It’s because I’m ignoring
your well-intended suggestion. In other words, you
haven’t changed your mind. Of course. That’s another topic. – Then your apology can go to Hell!
– What? I won’t forgive you, and that’s final! I didn’t realize you were still around. Take a look. “Take a look”? Dude, these are classified documents! Do your reports have to be this personal? Yes. They’re nosy. What would you do in my shoes? Would you be able to report
such things about your wife? Hey, are all protection law candidates
obligated to fill this out? No. That’d be pushing it. R-Right. It’s only because the
subjects are Himari and I. As the law’s first candidates, we’re “special,” for better or for worse. Ta-da! Pardon? Akiyasu-san, take a look. What’s that? It’s Umemura-san’s autograph. I found out he was the
author of my favorite book. Seriously? Wow, he really was an author. That’s actually amazing. Excuse me. Well… I would like to ask about
the file from yesterday. So you saw it? I’m sorry. I’m fine with it, really. You are free to report anything. And that’s exactly why
I didn’t tell you about it. If you feel uncomfortable
filling it out, I’ll write it myself. I’m not someone who Don’t belittle yourself like that! Please, don’t. Umemura-san said… he may quit writing. What? He said he prioritized family… over his own dream. Akiyasu-san, you attempted to quit
your job for my sake, no? Well, I do not want you to quit. Himari-san… After all, it’s thanks to the NEET Protection Law… that I met you, Akiyasu-san. I am currently… quite happy with life. You’re working hard to make many
others happy with this law, are you not? That is exactly why… you should not give up for my sake. Why the sudden shopping trip? Just come along, all right? Something tells me I
need to buy this today. Buy what? My determination as a man. Hey, what? I’m home. Welcome back. I’ll
prepare dinner right away. Himari-san, I’m sorry for all the trouble yesterday. No worries. I’m… I’m determined to tackle this
law head-on, until the bitter end. As such, I have a present for you. What? Please, open it. They’re wedding rings. This one is mine. I cannot accept such a luxurious gift. I want us to be a married
couple, not in name only, but a normal family. Though our forms preceded any proposal, I wish to take our time and become
more like a real married couple. Akiyasu-san… Anyhow, this was a selfish
gift on my part. Please, accept it. I hope this ring will always remind you… that you are my wife. Yes, it will. One more request. I’d like us… to share a bedroom soon. Of course. Ta-da. Really? All right, why the sudden rings? It’s either a form of determination
or a shot at normalcy. Well, well. Good for you. Akiyasu-kun, can you spare me a moment? Yes, Sir. I talked it out with the
vice-minister afterward. We both agree that we’d like
to meet a compromise with you. What are your conditions? Absolve us of any more reports. “Absolve”? Impossible. – Why?
– Listen up, Boy. You’re a test subject, understand? You agreed to all clauses beforehand. Learn to compromise, will you? Do you mean to say we, the
married couple, have no rights? Of course, you do. Why
the sudden opposition— It’s because I got married, Sir. Akiyasu, I had high hopes for your apathy. If anything, I wish you’d celebrate the
fact that I’ve become more human. Then if you’ll excuse me. However! We cannot stand idle, and
accept all your demands. Then if I propose an
amendment to the protection law, would you consider my proposal? I shall also turn in a plan to
employ more young people. Will this give me enough of a chance? I knew you’d flop down. Thank you, Akiyasu-san. Himari-san, how about we graduate from
“Akiyasu-san”? It feels a bit stuffy. Instead, use my first name. Okay. So then… Shin-san? Yes! Shin-san.
