Holiday Love (ホリデイラブ)

Oh? That's not mine...

I'm so sorry! I will bring yours right away.

Azu?

What? Say something.

Well, to finally have you

as my wife...

I will definitely

make you happy.

Thanks.

To have you say that, Junpei...

I...

I feel so blessed.

Just like that pure white wedding dress,

our lives

started off pure white as well.

- They're here! - So pretty!

Wow, she looks gorgeous!

Azu's stunning. That's my sister.

I know right.

Hello. I'm a good friend of the newlyweds, Ryoma Haruta.

Azu has been a classmate since middle school

and our families are close.

Now that we both work in the beauty industry,

I take care of her often.

You were supposed to laugh just now.

Azu, please be happy with Junpei

and have a loving family.

I...

Haru, you can do it!

I was going to have my wedding here too...

- But now... - Hey.

Don't speak of bad omens like that at a celebration.

I believe that...

if it's you two, you guys can go through any difficult situation together.

Congratulations!

However, it takes little time

for a happy moment to fall apart.

The groom and the bride are going to cut the cake now!

Just like that pure white wedding dress,

our life started off pure white.

And one day, droplets of black ink

started to fall.

Eventually, the clean white turned to a dirty grey.

No matter how much you want to repaint it,

you will not be able to see the original white.

Your husband is a terrible person.

I caught him having sex with my wife.

What is this?

- Hurry, hurry! - Mom, you can do it!

Mom can do it!

- You can do it... ! - I can do it... !

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Make sure to play well and have fun with your friends.

- Yeah! - Good, then give me a hug.

Off you go!

Nail Salon Azu

The sign in the front was very cute.

- Oh, my husband made that. - What?

- Hand-made? - Yes, it is.

It took him a lot of time though.

I had to go downtown in the past,

you have skills and I'm glad to have a nail salon near by.

Welcome!

Dinner's ready!

- Okay then, let's go! I'll do this later. - I wonder what it is.

Aren't you cold?

It's sukiyaki!

Yeah, it is. Isn't it a feast?

It's a feast, Nanaka.

Then, shall we eat?

One, two..

- Thank you for the meal! - Thank you for the meal!

- Here you go. - Thanks.

Hey hey, guess how much money I made today.

- Hmm, I don't know. What is it? - You want to know?

Just tell me! What is it?

32,000 yen

Wow, that's something! 32,000 yen.

You got a really good wife.

What a reliable woman! I really got a good wife.

Can I get one more beer?

Don't get cocky.

- Let's work hard and pay off our loans! - Yeah!

- Yeah! - Yeah!

A kind husband. A cute child.

A job that I love.

- Azu, how long have you been doing that? Let's sleep already. - What?

- Let's sleep. - Okay.

What caused it to start falling apart...

Nanaka! Hurry or Papa's going to go.

Here she is!

Shizuoka, huh?

I never imagined us living apart.

I can't do anything about it. I don't want people renting out our house

and your nail salon is doing well too.

I know that, but still...

I promise to come back home every week.

Hey, I will never forgive you

if you go around like a single man and cheat on me, okay?

You too, Azu. While I'm gone...

What? Me? I don't know about that.

Hey, hey!

- Papa, - What?

- This is for you. - Huh?

Isn't this your precious Kanmi?

Thank you, but I'm fine so you should hang on to it.

No, that's for you, Papa.

Thanks Nanaka.

I will treasure this as if it were you.

Yeah.

We'll be fine

even if we live apart.

At least that's what I thought.

I checked the wall but I didn't see any cracks.

Then I don't think we have a problem here.

Then, I will leave it to you.

- Junpei-san! Good news. - What?

- What is it? - The new part-timer who is coming

is apparently a woman.

I heard she's pretty young too.

Is it the person I saw near the office this morning?

I get to see her again.

Talk about love at first sight.

Yes.

Good morning.

She's too cute!

Well, it can't be helped.

It's a construction site full of sweaty guys.

We're digging a freaking tunnel!

Nowadays, I meet

only female bears and monkeys!

What is it?

Oh, is it your wife?

- Yeah. - Did something happen?

Eh? She just asked me what I want for dinner tonight.

What is that?

You love birds!

- Look at you acting all lovey-dovey! - Shut up already!

I'm jealous.

I also want to marry other than a bear or a monkey.

It's been a year since he started living by himself.

At the time...

What does he mean by "fine?"

It's "want."

I didn't notice anything.

Cheap food is okay I guess.

What was about to happen to me...

I had no idea at the time.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Be careful since it's hot.

- It's been a while since you came here. - What?

I know, right. I've been busy, so...

I've been procrastinating.

- I should stop being like that, right? - Huh?

Nowadays, Junpei and I...

I feel like we're being just a family.

Well, you are! Peaceful families are the best.

I know, but, sometimes

I just want him to notice me as a woman.

By the way, at the drinking party you missed the other day,

people talked about how you've grown into a beautiful lady.

No way...

Well, it's true that you looked terrible in the past.

What? Hey!

I noticed it a long time ago though.

Since the time you were the monkey in track. That you would shine if polished.

Thanks.

Okay, I will make Junpei say that too.

Mama, you look pretty today!

- Really? - Yeah, pretty!

I'm happy. Thank you.

I'm home!

- Papa! - Nanako, look who it is!

- I'm back. - Welcome back.

Oh, it's chicken hot pot!

Here, your favorite glass noodles too.

That's right. Nanaka, were you doing well?

I missed you.

- Can I take a bath first? - Yeah, sure!

Nanaka, let's go! Let's take a bath!

In kindergarten, when we were taking a stroll,

we picked up so many acorns today!

Acorns? Good for you!

I picked up some for you, Papa.

You're giving this to me? Thank you!

Wow, that's a lot. This is a big one.

What's wrong?

- Mama. - Huh?

I want a refill!

Okay.

Oh, it's hard! Look, it's dented!

Oh, it opened!

It's too bad he didn't notice.

I wonder what's inside an acorn.

Thank you. Your cooking is the best!

- It's the best! - It's the best!

What's inside an acorn?

Yes, Takamori speaking.

Um, are you Azu?
