The Ogre's Bride (鬼の花嫁)

She's not good enough for him!

Could you not come into my house just to yell at me?

It's good for the family that Reiya-sama found his bride.

His demonic power is greater than ever, increasing his value.

Of course, he's already held in the highest possible regard.

But still...

Well, that can't be helped.

It's not like we can choose our brides.

It's instinct.

I'd be fine with it if she were a woman of Sakurako's caliber.

I figured that's why you came today.

Hey, Sakurako.

Ouga-oniisama, do you need something?

Why, Takamichi-sama.

It's good to see you again, Sakurako.

You haven't visited recently. I've missed you.

Reiya-sama has been busy with work, so I haven't had the opportunity.

Sakurako.

Reiya-sama found his bride.

Therefore, your engagement has been called off.

Oh my.

If he found his bride, then it can't be helped.

So, what is she like?

Well...

Did I say something I shouldn't have?

You did nothing wrong.

I just can't stand it!

That peasant girl isn't worthy of being the sublime Reiya-sama's partner!

Not only that...

Not only that, but she's always with him, and he even smiles at her!

He's never smiled at me like that!

You'd better not let Reiya find out about this.

It'll be your own fault if you get taken out.

Forgive me. I lost my composure.

His bride is a perfectly ordinary high school girl.

THE OGRE'S BRIDE

EPISODE 6 TOUKO AND NYANKICHI

Today's the day.

Yeah.

Since that day...

I want to repay you somehow.

I want to get you a gift.

I want you to be happy, too.

I can't afford much, but is there anything you want?

In that case, I'd like a thank you kiss.

What?

On the lips, not the cheek.

He's been trading favors for kisses on a daily basis.

I work at Reiya's company three times a week.

When I don't have work, I head straight home and wait for him.

What are you doing, Yuzu-sama?!

Uh, I didn't have anything to do, so I thought I'd help out.

Y-You don't need to do that.

Please make yourself comfortable in your room.

Can I come in?

What is it?

I heard you've been bored at the mansion, so I got you something.

I brought clothes today. I hope they'll look good on you.

You can never have too many things to wear.

I stopped by a florist on my way back.

Today, I bought chocolate—

Wait, wait, wait!

I really appreciate all the gifts.

But you don't have to give me gifts every day.

But I want to do things for you.

They're yours if you want them.

And I expect gratitude.

If you like, you could start kissing me on the lips.

Not yet!

But I can tell I'm not entirely opposed to the idea.

How unfortunate.

So he called off his engagement to Sakurako after all.

As first of the branch families, it was an honor to provide the clan head's bride.

But it can't be helped.

They finally left. Family meetings are such a pain.

To be honest, I'm disappointed, too.

I was looking forward to seeing you shine at Reiya-sama's side.

But, Sakurako...

Onii-sama.

I do not resent his bride.

As a daughter of the Kiyama clan, I will support them.

Sakurako...

I'm so proud of you.

Rest well.

I will. Good night, Onii-sama.

The role of Reiya-sama's bride is to revive the Kiryuin family.

I will have to teach his ordinary bride...

her place.

Your new clothes are ready, little guys!

They're so cute!

Turn around for us!

I'm impressed the sewing club president could make such tiny clothes.

The lesser ogres seem happy, too.

Who taught them to do that?

I can't tell her they're copying me and Reiya.

They think kissing is how you thank someone.

Adoring the lesser ogres has become a daily class activity, too.

Yuzu, where are the lesser ogres?

I left them at home today.

But I made clothes for them.

What? Why?

There they are!

I'll get in trouble again!

Yuzu, please bring them every day.

Yeah. We can only hold these fashion shows at school.

Please.

O-Okay...

But class is starting.

Hey, are you and the young master getting along?

Yeah... I think so.

Why'd you hesitate?

Sometimes he spoils me so much, I don't know how to respond.

Growing up, my parents never spoiled me,

so sometimes, I don't know how to accept Reiya's kindness.

Have you even fallen for him yet?

I don't dislike him.

I think I like him.

But I'm not sure I like him the way he wants.

I still don't know if I feel this way because he rescued me

or because I love him.

But you seemed upset when you learned he had a fiancée.

I doubt you would've if you didn't care about him.

Maybe not.

Reiya said he'd never let me go, but is that really true?

I don't have the courage or certainty to take the next step.

You know...

apparently, demons can recognize their brides at a glance.

But it's not like we humans can tell.

While I was walking around town, he grabbed my arm out of nowhere.

You're my bride!

Is he recruiting me for his cult? Or is he a perv?

I'm off.

Hey. Sorry for startling you the other day.

But will you go out with—

No, thank you.
