My Happy Marriage (わたしの幸せな結婚)

Are you conscious?

Um...

I'm okay now.

I can walk on my own.

Please put me down.

Are you really all right?

Yes.

Good.

Why are the cherry blossoms blooming? It's midsummer now.

That's strange.

I feel like I've seen this before.

Finally, you've come.

Mr. Tsuruki...?

I was waiting for you.

Welcome to the Usuba house.

Usuba?

MY HAPPY MARRIAGE

EPISODE 10 SUMMER CHERRY BLOSSOMS, AND THE MISTAKE

I'm impressed that you found your way here.

Um, why Usuba?

Oh, actually, my real name is Arata Usuba.

Tsuruki is my pseudonym.

Arata... Usuba?

Yes. I'm part of the same family as you.

I'm your cousin.

From the look of things,

you must already have an idea why we came here.

To stop Miyo from having nightmares, isn't it?

Miyo's nightmares...

The Usuba family's blood is the cause, isn't it?

I won't deny it.

But to say it more accurately, the cause of the nightmares is...

Miyo's supernatural ability.

What?

Are you saying Miyo has a supernatural ability?

Yes. I have no doubt she does.

Not only that, the ability is dangerous and powerful.

N-No. That's impossible.

Because I was tested for Spirit-Sight and found to be...

You're right. Usually, if you don't have Spirit-Sight,

it's a sign you won't develop any supernatural abilities.

Then I cannot have...

But the Usuba family has a special kind of supernatural abilities.

Whether you have Spirit-Sight or not doesn't matter.

You do have a supernatural ability.

I am certain of it.

Right, Grandfather?

You resemble your mother, Sumi.

I'm the head of the Usuba family.

My name is Yoshiro Usuba.

I'm Sumi Usuba's father,

and Miyo, I'm your grandfather.

Oh...

Aren't you feeling a bit better now since coming to this house?

Uh...

Now that you mentioned it, my body does feel lighter.

That's because of Usuba's barrier.

If you stay in this house,

your body should be back to health in no time.

What happens if she goes outside of the barrier?

Will she start having nightmares again?

I reckon she will.

Isn't there a way to release her from her nightmares?

Of course, there is.

But if you want Miyo to be saved, there's one condition.

Huh?

Kiyoka Kudo,

will you turn over Miyo to us?

What?

What on earth is your intention?

To us,

Miyo's existence is very special.

To the Usuba family, she's worth more than anything else.

If so, why now?

Why didn't you ask for her before?

Ah... We also didn't think that Miyo would develop a supernatural ability.

However, just recently,

we noticed she was showing signs of having supernatural ability.

And furthermore, her ability is a rare kind

among the Usuba family's abilities.

What?

The ability Miyo has is Dream-Sight.

It's an ability to intervene in people's dreams.

The reason why Miyo keeps having nightmares is probably due to

her Dream-Sight ability.

If the Usuba family doesn't directly control it,

someday it will certainly lead to calamities.

That's how dangerous the ability is.

What do you intend to do to Miyo?

It's simple.

We're only trying to return her to where she should be.

As she has developed the ability of Dream-Sight,

there is no way we can allow her to be outside the Usuba family.

There's no use in trying to take her away from me.

Mr. Kudo.

Just know that we are giving you this explanation

as our utmost consideration for you.

Do you really think that I'd say yes to your nonsense?

Please keep calm.

This is about the Usuba family.

- Um... - Stop joking around.

Miyo staying with the Usuba family is not possible,

because Miyo is my fiancée.

- I said this is about the Usuba family. - Um, sir...

So you are an outsider.

You've been ignoring her this whole time,

but you seek her because you know she has a supernatural ability.

Do you think such logic will go unchallenged?

No matter what, I won't let you have Miyo.

I'll protect her.

Do you really think you can protect Miyo?

What?

During the Saimori family incident,

you let them kidnap Miyo and she was wounded.

Not only that, you can't stop her from having nightmares,

and you've made her suffer needlessly.

Can you honestly say that you are protecting her?

Besides, you have more important things to do than being here.

The Grave was opened up.

We are in the middle of a national crisis.

How can you make the time to protect Miyo?

You bastard...!

Because of me, he pushed himself so hard...

And I caused him to worry about me...

What do you want to do, Miyo?

What?

I...

I...

I don't know.

If I said "I want to be with you" now,

I would be tying him down forever.

I see.

So, Mr. Kudo, no amount of talking would help us reach an agreement.

Let's do this fairly.

How about we have a duel and the winner takes Miyo?

A duel?

If you win, I will teach you the method to control Miyo's ability.

That way, she won't have to suffer any more nightmares.

I've never meant for anything like this to happen...

A duel for me?

I accept. I'll take you up on your offer.

Thank you.

Well, then.

Shall we have a manly, serious duel?

If you win, the Kudo family

and if I win, the Usuba family

will become Miyo's home.

That goes without saying.

I thought I said a serious duel.

This will suffice.

I will not be holding back, you know.

Whoa.

Too slow.

Oops, forgive me.

I was aiming for the hilt of your sword but I seem to have missed it.

Too bad. You missed too.

You certainly are something, as expected.

Your supernatural ability is no longer effective on me.

Oh, yes. I'll tell you something that's beneficial.

In the Usuba family, most of us with supernatural abilities

do not have Spirit-Sight, me included.

Can you guess why?

Spirit-Sight is necessary when battling Grotesqueries.

This means, our supernatural abilities are not for battling Grotesqueries.

The abilities that we have

are for battling humans with supernatural abilities.

Like this.

What do you think of this?

Aren't you gradually having trouble

believing what you're seeing?

You're overconfident.

Amazing power.

If a wielder of a supernatural ability as powerful as you loses control,

and tries to hurt somebody, would anybody be able to stop them?
