[shaky breaths]
[uneasy music]
[Miyo in weak voice] Where am I?
[heavy breaths]
[gasps]
[gasps, breathes shakily]
Is someone there?
Anyone? Help me, please! Help me!
-[gasps, grunts] -[door squeaks]
[Kaya] My dear sister, I guess that means you're conscious again.
How are you doing in there?
Were you dreaming of something pleasant?
[theme music]
MY HAPPY MARRIAGE
EPISODE 6 DETERMINATION AND THUNDER
[Koji] Can't you drive any faster?
Getting upset right now won't change anything,
so settle down.
[grunts, inhales sharply]
You're acting awfully calm about this. They might've hurt her, you know.
She's your fiancée, shouldn't you at least be upset?
Before we arrive, you're positive she's there?
[Koji] Yes. Miyo is at the Saimori's.
You were really trying to get in your beauty rest.
It was taking you such a long time to wake up
that I was wondering if your heart had just stopped.
Wh… Why are you doing this? What is it I did?
-[Kanoko] Annoying as always. -[gasps]
I had thought you'd be spending your days working as a servant,
or dying like an animal on the side of the road.
You must think you're better than us.
[Kanoko] Listen, girl. You will step down as Mr. Kudo's fiancée.
[gasps]
Understood?
You will repeat these exact words to him,
"I reject, and wish to leave this arranged marriage with you."
I was thinking, the responsibility of being Mr. Kudo's wife
is too much for you to bear, my dear sister.
[chuckles]
[Miyo breathes shakily]
That blue kimono you're wearing is as beautiful as the summer sky.
[Kaya] Don't you think it's ill-suited for you though?
Come on. Promise me that you'll reject these arrangements.
Or else I'll have to alter this precious, precious kimono.
-[scissors snip] -[Miyo gasps]
Since it looks so awful on you,
you would force me to make it match the person wearing it.
-[scissors snip] -[Miyo breathes shakily]
[Kaya laughs]
[Kaya] If you have the gall to ask him
to buy you such an expensive kimono for you,
then rejecting the marriage arrangements would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?
When I get engaged to Mr. Kudo,
then you can finally have Koji all to yourself.
[tense music]
Now then, Sister, tell me…
the next time you see Mr. Kudo, what will you say?
[Miyo in shaky voice] No…
[Kaya] No?
[Miyo] Please, no…
-[Miyo sobbing] -[scissors snip]
[gasps]
[Miyo] No!
-That wasn't what I said. -[Miyo] No!
-No! -[Kaya] You already know what to say.
-[Miyo wailing, sobs] -[Kaya] I wanna hear you say it.
[Miyo gasps]
[shaky breaths]
I want to hear those words exactly from your mouth.
"I do not want this marriage arrangement."
[Miyo] Why?
[sobs] Why is this happening?
It would be easy to give up and do what they told me.
But it's the only thing in so long
that I've wanted… [sobs]
…for myself.
[Kaya] Something wrong? Did you lose your voice?
You're just as useless as you've always been, Sister.
[somber music]
[Miyo] No. [sobs]
[Kaya] Huh?
[Miyo] No, I won't…
[sobs] What you're asking me, I can't.
[angry grunt]
-[Kanoko] How dare you? -[grunts]
You brat…
-[Kaya] Mother. -[grunts]
I'll handle this, don't worry.
[gasps, yelps]
[Miyo grunts]
See, I knew you would look better as a crumped mess down on the floor.
[weak grunt]
[Kaya] Listen. Did you forget what a failure you are?
Not only do you not have Spirit-Sight,
but you never had any good traits to begin with.
It's an absurd idea when you think about it.
The embarrassment of our family is the one that gets to marry Mr. Kudo?
[Koji grunts]
-[Koji] Hey! Open up! -[Kaya] Wouldn't you agree
-this is the better deal? -[Koji grunts angrily]
Not only do you get to stay at the Saimori house,
but you also get to have Koji all to yourself
just like you've always wanted.
[Miyo] I… I want…
[Miyo inhales sharply] I want…
Uh?
…my Lord Kudo…
I am Kiyoka Kudo's fiancée.
He's not yours, now or ever.
-[Kanoko breathes angrily] -You gotta be kidding.
I've had enough of this!
-[Kanoko grunts] -[Miyo yelps]
-I'm the one who raised you! -[Miyo whimpers]
All these years of your ingratitude!
-[Miyo sobs] -And as soon as you get a husband,
you start spewing this nonsense?
[Kanoko] You're as wretched as I thought you were!
You will not ruin this! My life will not be ruined
because a horrible little girl doesn't know her place.
[Miyo] In the past, I would've already… apologized to them,
praying for the storm to pass…
That was the life I lived.
It was easier, so I was quiet.
But that's not my life anymore.
-[grunts] -I've…
-changed. -[shaky breaths]
Changed into someone stronger than I was.
I chose him.
And he chose me!
-[grunts] -[Kiyoka] Hey.
-Huh? -[Kiyoka] You should stand back.
-[zapping] -[surprised grunt]
What a stubborn little welp you are!
-[thunder crackling] -[both gasp]
What was that?
[trembling breaths]
What…
[Koji] What… have you done?
We're going in.
Huh? All right.
[Shinichi] What's going on?
Kudo? Wait! Wait a moment! Stop, please!
What is this about?
[Kiyoka] Mr. Saimori, where's Miyo?
Miyo?
-Miyo is done with you. -[soft gasp]
The Kudo family will not see her again.
How could you? Father, how could you? [grunts]
Kiyoka Kudo. I didn't expect you to get here so quickly.
[Kiyoka] Where are you keeping my fiancée?
[Minoru] Miyo has no interest in marrying you.
She said that she will not return.
I intend to face her myself and ask if that's what she wants.
You should tell me where she is or move.
I refuse.
If you're not going to listen to what I say,
then you and I are facing an impasse.
I'll have to use force if you won't step aside.
Hang on! Please just wait!
Tatsuishi, what is going on? What's happening?
Once this is over, you can ask your daughter about it.
[Minoru] The main entrance has been destroyed.
If you allow him to proceed any further,
he'll destroy the entirety of your home.
If you wish to keep a roof over your head, lend me a hand.
[both grunt]
-[Kiyoka grunts] -[shattering]
-[gasps] -[Minoru] Hmm…
As I expected from the head of the Kudos.
[Minoru grunts]
[leaves rustling]
-[wind howling] -[clattering]
[loud grunt]
[tense music]
This is pointless.
[shocked gasp]
It's true what they say. You're a monster!
[Kiyoka] You're in the way.
-[zapping] -Now move.
-[Shinichi grunts] -[screams in pain]
[Minoru groans, panting]
[Koji] Father's no match for him.
It's like an adult facing an angry child.
-That power… -[zapping]
He's known as the strongest gift-user of our time for a reason!
[thunder rumbling]
-[Kaya] What was that? That light? -[Miyo breathes weakly]
[shaky breaths]
[somber music]
[annoyed grunt]
-You… You disgust me! -[grunts]
[Kanoko] Hurry up and say it already!
"I will reject the marriage arrangements with the Kudo family."
[in weak voice] I won't lie because you say to…
[angry grunt]
-You worthless brat! -[pained grunt]
I told you. You know exactly what your place is in this world!
I won't… [sobs]
I refuse to say that. [sniffles]
My fiancé wants me there!
He knows that I belong…
[Kiyoka] Miyo…
Storehouse?
[Koji] Yes.
There's an old storehouse in the back.
They barely use it.
It's unassuming, so Miyo could be in there.
Show me the way.
Over here.
[flame roaring]
[grunts]
Stand down now!
My father!
This isn't a safe place to be using fire.
How many more foolish decisions will he make?
[roaring blaze]
Is… this worth it?
[effort grunt]
[sizzling]
I will not let you marry an Usuba!
[Kiyoka] If that's how it is…
[zapping]
[gasps]
-[screams in pain] -[rumbling]
-[Minoru groans] -[intense music]
[gasps]
He was rendered unconscious.
Now let's go.
[Shinichi breathing shakily]
It didn't need to be this way.
[sighs]
[Kaya shouts] Hurry up and say it already!
Say you'll reject him this instant!
[Miyo chokes]
Say it now!
[pensive music]
[Miyo] In the past, I would wait,
hoping the next moment would lead to my last breath.
Every day was such a struggle.
Being alive hurt…
to the point that my heart went numb.
Living was exhausting.
Back then, I believed…
there was no place where I belonged.
I'm glad…
I was wrong.
I want you to stay with me until death separates us.
-[somber music] -[Miyo] I belong somewhere.
I will be by his side.
[Kaya] Hurry up and spit it out!
-[angry breaths] -[Miyo] I will…
never say it.
[shouting angrily] Say it!
[in weak voice] I've decided that…
I will be with him until my final breath.
[door opens, creaking]
[soft music]
[soft gasp] Is that… Mr. Kudo?
-[breathes shakily] -[Kiyoka gasps]
Miyo!
[gasps]
[Miyo] He really… came for me.
Do you see?
[weak breaths] Lord Kudo,
I didn't give up this time.
[Kiyoka breathes worriedly]
[Kiyoka] Miyo.
Lord Kudo, are you…
[Kiyoka] Yes, you're safe now.
You really came all this way for me.
It was worth it to fight.
Thank you all so very… much.
[soft music swells]
-[fire crackling in distance] -[Kanoko gasps]
[worried gasp]
What on earth? What is it now?
[shocked gasp]
[Kanoko gasps]
But I… No, the house…
[shouts] No!
[Kanoko sobbing]
[Kiyoka] How did she get like this? What did you do?
[Kanoko sobbing in distance]
[Kiyoka] She didn't bow to you and you decided to beat her for it?
What did you want from her?
[shaky breaths]
I'm not the one… None of this is my fault.
[Kaya] I just wanted to… to correct a mistake.
Nothing else happened, that was it.
[Kiyoka] Mistake?
[Kaya] Sister doesn't possess Spirit-Sight.
She's boney and ragged
and is useless as a servant.
That has to be why she could never be a good match for the Kudo family,
so it must be a big mistake.
I know I'm the better choice for you!
Mother and Father wouldn't just say I'm the greatest!
They've told me that I'm the opposite of my sister.
That I'm superior to her in every possible way.
Shut your mouth.
[gasps]
[Kiyoka] That's enough.
I don't want to hear any more of your putrid drivel.
[weak breaths]
[tense music]
[soft grunt]
But… why don't you understand why you should be with me?
This isn't fair!
[gasps]
[in firm voice] Did I not just say
I've heard enough of your horrid nonsense?
I would not and will never marry an arrogant woman like yourself.
Even if the very heavens demanded it.
[Kiyoka] Now go!
[shaky breaths]
[grunts angrily, sobs]
Why choose her?
How could things have ended like this?
[Koji] Kaya, we need to evacuate.
[Kaya] I'm right. I know I'm right.
[Kaya sobs] Let go of me! Just go and leave me alone!
[shouts] Just shut up!
[gasps]
What? How dare you?
Sister was the only one you ever liked anyway.
You should just go evacuate with her, so you can forget about me already!
Yes, that's right. It's just like you said.
The only person I care about in this world is Miyo!
[Koji] But the truth is… that if you die here today,
Miyo will grieve for you,
because that's who she is.
Even though you…
No, we all did this to her.
I just… I can't let you hurt her again.
[fire crackling]
-[gentle music] -[soft gasp]
[Sumi] You're taller than the last time, Miyo.
[gasps]
[Miyo] Mother! It's you!
[Sumi] I am so sorry
for making you endure everything all alone.
[Miyo] Oh…
[Sumi] Believe in yourself for the rest of your life.
Believe in that power
-that lives within you. -Huh?
[Miyo] Believe in…
what power?
[glass shatters]
[Emperor] What terrible news!
How detestable!
As utterly awful as imaginable!
Tatsuishi was completely useless.
At this rate, Kudo will get ahold of the Usuba bloodline.
[Emperor inhales angrily]
-[Emperor exhales deeply] -Your Majesty.
[Arata] It is time.
We must ask your permission for a request.
I beg you. Allow us to achieve what we've been hoping for all this time.
To put things back where they belong.
[Emperor] A ripple effect will begin soon.
I grant the permission you seek.
However, do not miss this opportunity.
[Arata] Yes, Your Majesty.
Then we shall proceed.
We will begin the operation as planned.
[Emperor] You must destroy
-the accumulation of power no matter what. -[crow caws]
-[sleeping breaths] -[Miyo] Huh?
[Miyo groans softly]
-[sleeping breaths] -Huh?
-[Miyo] Uh, Lord Kudo… -[soft grunt]
Miyo!
Lord Kudo, it's you!
[Kiyoka] Yes, it's me.
[grunts]
Don't push yourself. Lie down.
I just…
[Miyo exhales weakly] But…
[sighs]
[soft music]
[Kiyoka] Are you sure you're all right?
I am, but, um…
[nervous breaths] Lord Kudo, I…
This was all… I was careless with the amulet.
No need to blame yourself.
None of this… is your fault.
[Kiyoka] None of this was ever your fault.
[Miyo breathes softly]
[shaky breaths]
Thank you very much, Lord Kudo.
My Lord Kudo!
-[Yurie] Miss Miyo! -[gasps]
[gasps, breathes shakily]
[sobs]
Miss Yurie.
[sobs] Miss Miyo! I'm so glad!
-[Yurie] You've finally woken up. -But…
Miss Yurie, you don't…
You really don't need to cry, okay?
You've no idea how worried I was about… you, Miss Miyo.
-[soft grunt] -[Yurie] And you're okay now.
[Kiyoka chuckles softly]
[Yurie sobbing]
[Kiyoka] I agree. I'm glad you're home safe.
[soft chuckle]
Yes.
