01x06 - Touko to Nyankichi

[bunniefuu]

She's not good enough for him!

Could you not come into my
house just to yell at me?

It's good for the family that
Reiya-sama found his bride.

His demonic power is greater than
ever, increasing his value.

Of course, he's already held in
the highest possible regard.

But still...

Well, that can't be helped.

It's not like we can choose our brides.

It's instinct.

I'd be fine with it if she were
a woman of Sakurako's caliber.

I figured that's why you came today.

Hey, Sakurako.

Ouga-oniisama, do you need something?

Why, Takamichi-sama.

It's good to see you again, Sakurako.

You haven't visited recently.
I've missed you.

Reiya-sama has been busy with work,
so I haven't had the opportunity.

Sakurako.

Reiya-sama found his bride.

Therefore, your engagement
has been called off.

Oh my.

If he found his bride,
then it can't be helped.

So, what is she like?

Well...

Did I say something I shouldn't have?

You did nothing wrong.

I just can't stand it!

That peasant girl isn't worthy of being
the sublime Reiya-sama's partner!

Not only that...

Not only that, but she's always with
him, and he even smiles at her!

He's never smiled at me like that!

You'd better not let Reiya
find out about this.

It'll be your own fault
if you get taken out.

Forgive me. I lost my composure.

His bride is a perfectly
ordinary high school girl.

THE OGRE'S BRIDE

EPISODE 6
TOUKO AND NYANKICHI

Today's the day.

Yeah.

Since that day...

I want to repay you somehow.

I want to get you a gift.

I want you to be happy, too.

I can't afford much,
but is there anything you want?

In that case, I'd like a thank you kiss.

What?

On the lips, not the cheek.

He's been trading favors
for kisses on a daily basis.

I work at Reiya's company
three times a week.

When I don't have work, I head
straight home and wait for him.

What are you doing, Yuzu-sama?!

Uh, I didn't have anything to
do, so I thought I'd help out.

Y-You don't need to do that.

Please make yourself
comfortable in your room.

Can I come in?

What is it?

I heard you've been bored at the
mansion, so I got you something.

I brought clothes today.
I hope they'll look good on you.

You can never have too
many things to wear.

I stopped by a florist on my way back.

Today, I bought chocolate—

Wait, wait, wait!

I really appreciate all the gifts.

But you don't have to
give me gifts every day.

But I want to do things for you.

They're yours if you want them.

And I expect gratitude.

If you like, you could start
kissing me on the lips.

Not yet!

But I can tell I'm not entirely
opposed to the idea.

How unfortunate.

So he called off his engagement
to Sakurako after all.

As first of the branch families, it was an
honor to provide the clan head's bride.

But it can't be helped.

They finally left.
Family meetings are such a pain.

To be honest, I'm disappointed, too.

I was looking forward to seeing
you shine at Reiya-sama's side.

But, Sakurako...

Onii-sama.

I do not resent his bride.

As a daughter of the Kiyama clan,
I will support them.

Sakurako...

I'm so proud of you.

Rest well.

I will. Good night, Onii-sama.

The role of Reiya-sama's bride
is to revive the Kiryuin family.

I will have to teach his ordinary bride...

her place.

Your new clothes are ready, little guys!

They're so cute!

Turn around for us!

I'm impressed the sewing club president
could make such tiny clothes.

The lesser ogres seem happy, too.

Who taught them to do that?

I can't tell her they're
copying me and Reiya.

They think kissing is
how you thank someone.

Adoring the lesser ogres has become
a daily class activity, too.

Yuzu, where are the lesser ogres?

I left them at home today.

But I made clothes for them.

What? Why?

There they are!

I'll get in trouble again!

Yuzu, please bring them every day.

Yeah. We can only hold these
fashion shows at school.

Please.

O-Okay...

But class is starting.

Hey, are you and the young
master getting along?

Yeah... I think so.

Why'd you hesitate?

Sometimes he spoils me so much,
I don't know how to respond.

Growing up, my parents never spoiled me,

so sometimes, I don't know how
to accept Reiya's kindness.

Have you even fallen for him yet?

I don't dislike him.

I think I like him.

But I'm not sure I like
him the way he wants.

I still don't know if I feel
this way because he rescued me

or because I love him.

But you seemed upset when you
learned he had a fiancée.

I doubt you would've if you
didn't care about him.

Maybe not.

Reiya said he'd never let me go,
but is that really true?

I don't have the courage or
certainty to take the next step.

You know...

apparently, demons can recognize
their brides at a glance.

But it's not like we humans can tell.

While I was walking around town,
he grabbed my arm out of nowhere.

You're my bride!

Is he recruiting me for his
cult? Or is he a perv?

I'm off.

Hey. Sorry for startling
you the other day.

But will you go out with—

No, thank you.

D-Do you like cats?

I'm a dog person.

Do you like sweet things?

Enough already!

My answer's never going to change!

I don't even know you!

Brides are special to demons.

Having a bride increases
our demonic power,

and their children are
born with great power.

As a weak cat demon,

I'd love nothing more than a bride
who'd make me more powerful.

What are you talking about?
I'm still in middle school!

Why are you assuming I'll
have your kids? Get real!

But why? I thought people were
normally happy to be chosen.

This isn't what I was told.

No, you're my bride!

I'll make you fall in love with me!

He was practically a stalker.
Scary, right?

Hey.

You never told me how you met before.

Touko avoided talking about being
a bride to spare my feelings.

How did you end up like you are now?

At first, I ran away from him,

but we started talking more.

I love you!

I'd fight an ogre for you!

He'd probably k*ll me instantly, though.

Don't lose your confidence now.

That's a limited edition
Lapine, isn't it?

I have one, too. See?

Wow, you like Lapine?
Hardly anyone knows them.

That's the first time I've seen her smile.

What is this feeling?

I feel so comfortable around Touko.

Is it because she's my bride?

Just thinking about Touko smiling
at another man annoys me.

I hope she falls for me soon.

Anyway, it turns out we
like the same bakery.

We bonded over our similar tastes.

That's good.

So, has she told you she likes you?

Not yet.

I'm off.

Huh?

He's not here.

He said he'd make me fall for
him and kept coming every day.

What's his deal?

Oh, so that's how it is.

It's not... It's not like I care.

I was just hanging out with him
because we kind of got along.

Why?

Thinking someone might take Nyankichi
from me made me really upset.

That's how I knew I really loved him.

Yeah, but you didn't have to hit me.

That's the weight of my love. Deal.

Also, the woman he was
with was his mother.

Falling in love isn't logical.

Even if you're not sure now,

someday, you'll love him so much that
you'll never want to let him go.

Even if I'm not sure now...

I hope you're right.

Yuzu, you're in a good mood.

I'm staying at my
grandparents' place tonight.

I'm surprised the young
master allowed that.

Reiya will be gone for a few nights, too.

Oh, right. Reiya, can I visit
my grandparents next week?

Well...

Yuzu, what's the proper
way to make a request?

A request?

Oh, right!

But Takamichi-san's here.

No, he's not.

What?

Since when?

My agreement with Reiya is that
I kiss him when I ask for something.

Oh, yeah. There's a demon gathering.

The Kiryuins must be very busy.

Wh-What's going on?

What?!

Look at them!

They're so hot!

Takamichi, maybe I shouldn't
let Yuzu stay out overnight.

You already gave her permission
in exchange for a kiss.

Reiya, what's going on?

I had some time,
so I came to pick you up.

Here, for your stay.

Thank you.

I put that together for you.

Now?

Not yet.

Reiya, Nyankichi-kun told me
there's a demon gathering.

What do you do there?

It's a banquet at which we
catch up with each other.

It's held over several days once a year.

You keep drinking for days?

We do more than just drink.

That's why you'll be gone for a few days.

I'm sorry I have to leave you alone.

Even if you're not sure now,

someday, you'll love him so much that
you'll never want to let him go.

I'll be fine. Good luck at work.

I will.

I hope I can give myself completely
to someone who loves me

and treats me so well.

Maybe someday.

Could you drop me off nearby?

We'll take you all the way there.

The neighbors will talk if they see
a luxury car in front of the house.

The neighbors here are close.

The lesser ogres will be
with me, so I'll be fine.

But...

I assigned guards to her. She'll be okay.

Reiya-sama, is something the matter?

I sense something, but it's fine.

Whose car is that?

I'm back, Grandpa.

Yuzu, you're finally here.
We've been waiting.

There's someone here to see you.

Welcome, Yuzu.

I'm glad you're here.
We've been so nervous.

Who's here?

A very pretty lady.

I think her name was Kiyama Sakurako-san.

Kiyama Sakurako...

Her beauty is otherworldly,
and she's smart to boot.

Kiyama Sakurako is popular
among other ogres, too.

That's Reiya's ex-fiancée!
What's she doing here?

Did she come to see me?

Excuse me.

You must be his bride.

My name is Kiyama Sakurako.
