Okane no Kireme ga Koi no Hajimari (Love Will Begin When Money Ends / おカネの切れ目が恋のはじまり)

Reiko, you are very special to me.

I'd like to have dinner with you sometime

and we can talk about it.

Umm... Yes!

Great, I'll be in touch then.

I look forward to it.

Indeed the habit of walking and working is good for the health.

Why sit idly about, after all?

It is a sin to bring trouble to others.

Why should I borrow another’s strength?

So too with food and clothing.

Be it robe of vine fibre or hempen quilt,

I cover myself in whatever comes to hand,

and keep myself alive with wild asters from the fields and nuts from the mountains.

Since I do not mix with others, shame causes me no regrets.

Hmm...

- Geez, what is it? Responsible for what? - Hurry, hurry.

What am I responsible for?

Hey, girls. Sorry to keep you waiting. This is Saruwatari Keita-san.

- Hello. - Ah, Congratulations on your wedding.

Congratulations.

So, about marriage...

Hello. Is this a good spot?

Nice to meet you... I'm Saruwatari Keita.

Would you like something to drink?

You! You've finally shown your true colors.

- Thank you. See you! - That's great, Ren.

Did you have fun, Ren?

Yes.

Mama, I wanna look for Battle Spirits!

Mama will have a tea in a cafe nearby and tell

Papa there's a lesson in hour, okay? - Yes.

See you later.

What do I do? I saw his family.

I'll be in touch.

I made reservation. At the 17th 7:00 p.m.. Quintessence.

I understand. I look forward to it.

Thank you very much.

Huh? Maybe

I should have replied with a stamp?

But it's been one night already.

I can't just send another stamp... Would that be too much?

Should I?

Should I not?

Kuki-san, is something bugging you? Are you okay?

- Kuki-san! - Yes?

Ah, ah, ah!

Kuki-san, have been acting strange lately, isn't she?

Something happened since she became Saruwatari-san's trainer.

She's starting to look a little more human.

He already read it...

You don't look so good. Are you feeling sick?

Well, Maria, you see,

apparently she broke off her marriage to that boss,

but she bragged to her juniors about getting married

and now she wants me to marry her instead.

For that...

Congratulations. - Congrats!?

Good for you, isn't it?

Because Saruwatari-san seems to have some lingering feelings for Maria-san

and I'm Maria-san is too... - No, I don't.

I don't at all. I'm just being used.

That's not love, right?

- You're surprisingly sensitive, aren't you? - Right?

I'm very sensitive about that.

To begin with, love and marriage are two different things.

Is that so!?

Yes, everyone can fall in love every day, but marriage is

about one person for life,

If it was meant to be....

"Thundering Crack!"

Like a bolt of lightning that strikes you, right?

- I don't understand. - Yes.

I don't know either, that is why I'm 33 and single.

- What is this? - Ah, ah!

Oh, that's cute.

Fashion edition?

On my first date with Saotome-san.

Fashion Edition

You're way too enthusiastic!

I like that person...

We're going to dinner together.

It's my first time.

Good for you.

Your 15 years of unrequited love.

It finally paid off.

I hope Saotome-san is the one.

Me too.

Yes, that's right...

Your first date with Saotome-san.

Gaki, how long have you been there?

Itagaki-san, you don't look so good.

Are you sick?

Umm... Reiko-san.

Yes?

- Can I talk to you for a minute? - Talk?

- Hey! - Yes?

- Umm... - Yes?

No...

We'll talk about this affair later.

- This affair? - This affair?

EPISODE 3

- Thank you for your hard work. - Yes, thank you as well.

It's in red, I put it there for you to check.

Are you married?

As soon as I found the RIGHT PERSON (Laugh)

Former pro tennis player turned CPA

A Brilliant Transition

As long as Ushijima-san has checked it, there's no problem.

Ah, thank you very much for that Quintessence reservation. Well done.

That took me on various routes.

I don't want you working behind me on that day.

Okay.

Ah, right.

I'd like to get a card called Siegwurm Nova

from the Battle Spirits card game, but it's a little hard to get...

I'll see if I can find it in auction.

I'll leave it up to you.

I see. Speaking of money, Saotome-kun, what do you think?

That's right.

Ah! Is it done?

Wow! That little sleeve. It's so cute.

It's perfect for a date.

Yes! Even your mom is beaming with joy.

Ah, look, it's Ken-chan.

Yes, I agree, and I think a misunderstanding of finances between a husband and wife

can easily lead to problems in the family.

Then the woman who's going to be Saotome-kun's wife should be

someone who's got a tight wallet.

- What do you think? - If it's Saotome-kun, then I'm sure

I think you'd make a great family.

No, I think the type Saotome-san like is going to be involved

in more trouble than you might think because he's popular.

- Hmm? - What's wrong?

Saotome-san's Annual Autumn Money Camp

every year and three months in advance,

there's always an announcement

on this hotel's event page,

but not this year.

Isn't Ken-chan busy?

He's preparing for his date with you, Reiko.

- Good morning! - Morning.

Good morning to you.

Reiko-san.

It's a beautiful day, so why don't we go out for a bit?

And if possible, wear that one-piece.

- This? - Trying on is important!

- Yes, yes. Try it on. - Yes, yes!

T... This is...

Yes, I knew it. That one-piece is so cute.

Please turn around. It's not safe.

Arent you a perfect match? It's nice being young.

- Where are we going? - Here, here.

umimachi market

- Reiko-san. - Please wait a minute.

Ah, there she is, Hikari!

- Hi! - Hi!

Good. Good.

Oh, that's good, too. Oh...

Keita. Keita. I think

I've seen this lady before. - Eh? Where?

I think she came to the candy shop where I work part-time...

She stood in line for an hour and a half and only bought one walnut cookie for 130 yen.

Yeah, that's definitely her, for sure.

Hikari-san.

You're doing a very good job.

- Thorough and meticulous. - Thanks.

Huh? Is that bag you're holding there handmade?

- Ah, yes. - I want to know how to make it.

Ah, yes, of course.

This lady got her first date this time.

Ah, really?

So pick out an accessory that looks good with this one-piece.

All right, I'm on it.

Yeah, definitely this one.

Yes, try it on. Try it on.

Try it on. Try it on.

Well, then...

How... is it?

You look pretty.

Really?

Yes. Yes.

It looks great on you. Great decision.

- I'm impressed, Hikari! - But wait a minute.

- Eh? - Eh? You don't like it?

No, it's not that. I like it a lot.

I mean, honestly, it was love at first sight.

However.

- However? - However?

I try to take extra careful and prudent

when welcoming new things.
