Crying Clown's Wedding (泣き虫ピエロの結婚式)

Big sis...

What are you doing?

Thank you.

Here, here, here!

One more time, one more time.

Here we go!

CRYBABY PIERROT'S WEDDING

Here you go.

What's wrong?

Mom, I might return home late tonight.

Okay.

Why? You going somewhere?

I'm not telling you anything!

I told you, I'm working until 5!

Not really your job but it's about you being a Pierrot, right?

There you go again.

It's not a Pierrot, rather, a clown!

You're still an apprentice, though.

Anyway, when work's over, I'll come straight to you!

You have my full support since this had always been your dream but don't make us wait!

Do you understand?

Are you listening?

Seriously!

This is more than a sudden change of plans.

Hold on and support me for a little while longer!

Give me a break!

Sorry!

I made you wait!

She's here.

Do you plan to go there dressed like that?

You're sitting over there since you made us wait!

You stand out too much.

So, how do I look? Weird? -You look cute!

How much did the clown apprentice make?

100 yen.

It's at least 200, right?

Woah!

Hey, will you let me change my clothes here? Please?

Off we go!

On the way we go!

Hey! Thanks for that!

It's freaking hot.

Your hair's undone.

Thanks.

You got a lot of people gathered here, haven't you?

This is practically an association between my colleagues.

Hey, you arrived!

It's been a while!

Where's he?

Come on! Took you long enough to get here.

There he is.

Oh!

What?

Oh, it's nothing.

You can't eat that! It hasn't been grilled well yet.

Okay!

This gut here is Yosuke Akiyama!

Where's your honorifics? I ain't giving you any meat.

Because I carried out a lot of stuff with me, accompany me, Nanami.

Lemme help.

He's completely rude to the core.

You mean, Yosuke?

Well, he can be nasty sometimes.

Seriously? You don't have a boyfriend?

Even when you're this cute.

I totally do not have the time for that.

Why?

You busy with work?

Yes, because I wanna become the best clown there is.

What? What'd you say?

Clown. That's my job.

You know what a Pierrot is, right?

-Pierrot? -Thanks.

In reality, a clown and a Pierrot are two different things.

The ones you see in a circus are clowns.

Clowns seem to be more friendly to look at.

I guess, that's where the name came from.

I heard you're still an apprentice, though?

What?

I heard you started just three months ago.

Nevertheless, I'm a professional. I've earned earnest wages from it.

Then, lemme see what a tricks a professional like you have up on your sleeves.

Fine.

I'm sure you can "juggle", can't you?

Yes, of course.

Hey!

Are you okay?

Thanks.

Feeling depressed?

Not really.

I just wasn't feeling well today.

I guess, I can complement you for doing it instead of running away from it.

Who do you think you are?

-Let's head back. -Come on! It still hurts!

At least, lend us a hand.

Here.

This is the worst.

Looking at you makes me exhausted.

Here.

Come on! Your feet hurts, doesn’t it?

Here!

Hurry it up!

Here we go!

You're seriously aiming to become a Pierrot.

I heard.

Clown, I said!

[A/N: Gosh. Here it comes again. Me and my hopeless romantic wishes. I want a piggyback ride, too!]

Kanami!

Aunt!

I brought this peach for you, Auntie.

Come eat watermelons with us. They just came a moment ago.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

Welcome back, dad.

Hey!

Welcome back, uncle. -Hello there.

Does it still hurt?

Not anymore.

That tall guy... Is he always like that?

Yosuke?

Yeah, him.

You should probably give up on him.

What? What're you saying! That's not what I--- -Yosuke...

...he may be good looking and is kinda popular...

But, he's never gone out with anyone that lasted long.

Sorry. My mouth ran off.

I told you, that's not it!

Really?

No way!

What?

Dear?

Hey!

Been looking at your progress for a while now. You ain't getting good at it, at all.

No one told you to help me out.

What I want to do is up to me.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...

You haven't developed at all.

Hey, relax a bit more.

You're not breathing at all.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14...

It's not working at all.

Really! Why can't I do it?!

Aren't you gonna drink anything?

I'm so sweaty again.

How did you come to think of becoming a Pierrot?

How many times have I told you? It's "Clown"!

Even when you're really clumsy.

Ever since I was born, it has always been my talent to make people laugh.

You're such a liar.

I'm not lying!

Even if it's clear or cloudy outside...

...you're still busy as ever.

There's a beautiful motto that clowns have.

"All for you."

"It's my pleasure."

"Anata no yorokubi wa, atashi no yorokubi."

I think that's a mirror of people's hearts.

If you have an uncomfortable look on your face, you make people feel uncomfortable too.

If you have a smile on your face, people will repay you with a smile too.

Aren't I right?

"It's my pleasure," huh?

What? You're not laughing at all.

Behold!

I will put this on my head!

That didn't make me laugh.

You will, if the clown was me.

A clown makes people laugh. Their laughter paint a smile on my lips!

Are there any jobs out there that can surpass this one?

Thanks for helping me out today.

Hey!

Laugh!

What?

I can't! That's a waste of energy.

Come on! Just laugh already!

Come on! Can't you? Can't you?

You met with him, didn't you?

But, he hasn't contacted me ever since then.

Did you call him?

Of course, I did.

Always goes to voicemails.

Maybe he changed his number?

Could he be mad?

What'd you do to him?

I tickled him.

...under the tree.

It's gonna be fine!

But, what if he's really mad at me?

Really. What should I do?

Yochan.

I've been worried lately since I haven't been seeing you around here.

What have you been doing?

Juggling.

I got addicted with it.

I mean, you're still young.

You could at least be engrossed in one thing.

It's not a good thing.

Akiyama must always take his illness seriously.

You can't underestimate it.

Even taking a bus to get here takes a toll on him, so he mustn’t neglect his body's health.

There's no next time.
