01x24 - All that matters is that you two are happy

[bunniefuu]

So hot.

It's definitely summertime.

Huh?

A letter

That's unusual.

Birthday Party Notice

Seriously?

Birthday Party Notice

Oh, hey, this is such an

adorable invitation letter.

Whose birthday is it for?

Answer me, Nagi-kun!

This would have been amazing

if it was from a cute girl!

What? It's not?

So what are you going to do, Onii?

What else can I do?

He came all the way here to drop

off this giddy invitation letter.

I can't not go.

Happy birthday to me!

Show me your

fish print!

So it was for Papa Yohei's birthday!

Let's go!

Happy birthday, dear Yohei!

You're the Hero

Arena!

Yay!

Happy birthday, Papa Yohei!

Happy birthday, Yohei!

Thanks, Erika.

You don't need to go along

with this, Erika-chan.

Why not?

It's a party. It's fun!

That's not the point.

Oh, right! Gifts!

Forget that, too.

This birthday is of Dad, by Dad, for Dad.

What does that even mean?

Let's raise the roof!

Yay.

Happy birthday, Yohei!

Here you go.

Paella! Awesome!

I figured it'd be a good day to make

something that's not on the menu.

I want karaage.

I want katsudon.

Come on, you two.

The birthday boy cooked for us. It's rude to—

Here you go.

He's being worked to death!

It's fine.

This is how it is every year.

Let's eat.

He's right.

Dad does this every year.

Every year?

I can't believe I'm losing a day of my precious

summer break to my dad's birthday, though

I have entrance exams coming up.

Nom nom

Don't say that! Check this out!

This is my birthday present for the year!

You catch it yourself, make it yourself,

and give it to yourself?!

Aren't you jealous?

So it's true you do everything yourself, huh?

Every year, too.

It's the exact opposite at my place.

Dad's always surrounded by strangers.

So is this for every year, too?

Nagi 3 yrs

Sachi 1 yr

Nagi 3 MOS

Nagi 1 yr

Pregnant with second child!!

Oh, these photos?

We take them every year on Dad's birthday.

Oh, really?

I like this kind of thing.

The family grows, and everyone gets bigger.

Wait Nagi-kun, have you even changed at all?

Huh?! I've grown a lot!

Sorry I kept y'all waiting!

It's time for our main dish!

Holy cow!

Yohei

36 Years

You made the cake yourself, too?!

You're a genius chef!

Oh, stop it, you.

Hang on

Papa Yohei's 36 years old?!

So young!

That's right. I'm just getting started.

Nah, he's old.

I guess

Thanks.

What about Papa Soichiro?

He's 57.

Huh? Hang on

I'm 17, and Dad's 36 today.

That doesn't add up.

Why not?

I mean

He married Mom when he was 19, right?

A shotgun wedding?!

You could say it was a

planned shotgun wedding.

Who cares what order it happened in?

We were planning to get

married eventually anyway.

What a scripted answer.

So there we have it.

Onii was an accident.

Why me?

That would be me, actually.

No, Erika-chan, I mean

It's so complicated because

you were swapped at birth.

Silly Sachi.

Dug her own grave.

So that's how it was, huh?

I was an unplanned pregnancy

and I was swapped at birth!

I have such a unique life!

She's more positive about

it than I thought she'd be.

Phew

Speaking of which, when's your

birthday, Erika-oneechan?

April 6th.

Wow, that's Onii's birthday, too.

Of course it is.

We were swapped the day we were born.

Oh, right.

Of course.

And that's also why you two met on April 6th.

We figured we'd make it happen

on your 17th birthday.

So that's why

the two of us met that day.

By coincidence, too.

You're going to be my boyfriend.

Too bad you're not the one

I'm supposed to marry, Nagi-kun.

My daughter, Erika,

with whom you were mixed up at birth.

Seriously, that was a nightmare birthday.

For me!

Talking about the good old days, huh?

Mom.

I'm here to visit.

Welcome.

Sachi!

Yum.

You have your own!

Oh, come on, I only took one.

What do you think we split it up for?!

It all worked out, huh, Yohei-kun?

Yeah.

Listen

There, there.

So anyway, I know I said a lot back

then, but I think it's all good now.

Back when?

What I said back at the dinner.

So then, we realized

If the two of you got married,

you'd both be our kids.

Remember when I said that?

You don't have to worry about it anymore.

What

At first, we were worried that the two

of you would have to get married,

or we'd never get to meet Erika-chan.

Or that Nagi might go away.

But here you all are.

It isn't really any of our

business as parents, anyway.

What matters the most is that

the two of you are happy.

Wait, were we supposed to say this?

We haven't even consulted with Amano-san.

Why not? It's just talk.

That's true! All good, right?

Right?

I see

These two really are my parents.

Besides, we got married despite

our parents' objections, too.

You did?!

He did say Mom was way out of his league

What happened, exactly?!

All right, that's it for the birthday party.

Time to set up shop!

Just one more song, then!

That's enough!

I never thought Mom and

Dad would say all that.

I wonder what my dad

would say if he found out.

It wouldn't go down easy, I'm sure.

We're family, though, right?

My dad and me.

He might understand if I try to convince him.

Yeah.

Megurogawa Foot Bridge

So does that mean

That's the end of our relationship

for real this time?

Hello?

'Sup, 'sup?! It's me!

Is this a scam call?

It's Shion!

Asoma Shion, dude!

Did I ever give you my number?

Come on, boss, we're besties.

That's not an answer.

Never mind that, just hear me out.

This is big.

What's big?

I was going through Erika-chan's Inusta.

#StudySessions

#Buddies

Looks like she has a study sesh

with Segawa-san every day.

We gotta get in on this!

Bro, I wanna hit up Erika-chan's crib—

Hell no to that.

Study group result announcement!

Umino-kun, all problems correct.

All right!

Erika-chan, all problems incorrect.

No way!

Sachi-chan ran out of time.

But I had calculation problems.

So there we have it.

The winner is me!

She finished faster than me.

You again, Hiro-san?

Let me have some memorization

problems next time.

You have to work on calculation

problems, though, don't you?

You've got the Segawa-san coaching you!

Listen to what she says!

Onii, shut up.

Well, why don't we take a break

from studying and call it snack time?

Yay!

How about you, Erika-chan?

Amano-san?!

Erika-chan!

Erika-chan!

Amano-san!

Erika-chan!

Is it a cold?

She's sweating badly.

What should we do?

Should we go to the hospital together?

Should we call the Hotel King?

I'm fine.

I read online that sleeping is

the best way to cure a cold.

You should get changed first,

then, so you stay warm.

Thanks.

Cold Medicine

Hey, I got some cold medici—

Sorry!

Onii, you creep!

That was inconsiderate.

No guys in the room when a girl's sick.

I-Is that how it's supposed to be?

Are you okay, Erika-chan?

Yeah.

Sorry for causing trouble.

Don't talk like that at a time like this.

You're sick. You have to focus on resting.

And now we commence

Operation: Nursing Erika-chan!

Whoo!

We need to do absolutely everything

we can to get her better.

I'm getting pumped.

I'm going home to gather supplies.

Why do you need to go home

just to take care of her?

I'm going shopping, too.

You, too, Sachi?

Jeez.

I guess I'll study or something,

since I'm just getting in the way.

Sorry for causing trouble.

We're back.

Um

So

I wanted you to drink this.

Sake?

You know how they say sake raises your

body temperature and makes you sweat?

Offering

Sake

Really?

I heard alcohol has

antibiotic properties, too.

So I'd like you to use this

opportunity to take a big swig.

What opportunity?

This is a life-or-death emergency!

You have to drink!

It has to be done!

Drink, Erika-chan!

If you insist

You can't do that. You're underage.

There are other remedies.

Sachi-chan, what are those leeks for?

We're going to the bath house, Erika-onee.

Huh? Now?

That's right.

The one with the sauna.

You're going to have a good

bath and sweat it all out.

And then you'll sweat some more in the

sauna, and then you'll take a cold bath.

It's a recovery speedrun!

Or ascetic training.

But you're both offering, so

I'll give it a shot

Erika-chan!

I offered to make her some rice porridge,

but she said she has no

appetite, so she'll pass.

I asked if I could stay by her, and she

said she didn't want me to catch it.

Erika-chan took the medicine,

but her fever's not coming down.

Maybe it isn't a cold.

I hope it's just heat exhaustion or something.

Umino-kun?

What are you doing?

Nagi-kun? What

Eat up.

What?

I don't have an appetite. I can't eat.

Huh?

"Sorry for causing trouble," my a*s.

What is that supposed to mean?

I mean that doesn't sound like you.

You've never said anything like that to me.

That's not true.

Have you ever?

You've always been spoiled

and snappy toward me!

Sachi joined us, and then, over the summer,

Segawa-san started coming over all the time.

The exhaustion must have caught up to you.

You can be surprisingly

attentive to other people.

You ended up sick because you've

been pushing yourself all this time.

You're wrong.

I'm having fun.

I just didn't realize I'm tired

because every day is so fun.

I've never had so much fun.

I didn't know myself at all.

Also, why do you know me better than I do?

Well

We're engaged, aren't we?

I see.

I didn't realize she's been accommodating us.

Seems like it.

But you get it now, don't you?

Those two are definitely engaged.

Tough for you, huh?

You'd better get it in gear, too.

Well, take care, Erika-chan.

Don't push yourself too hard

just because your fever's gone.

Yeah.

Come over anytime.

See you, Segawa-san.

Wanna go back to your room?

Okay.

Later.

I Love Family!!

This must be from Papa Yohei.

There we go.

He brought it all the way here?

Right?

Papa Yohei and Mama Namie were happy that

their family grew when she took this picture.

I was so happy when he

invited me to his birthday.

I feel like I'm actually a part of the family.

Yeah.

Sachi-chan

joined us!

Bought too much♥

For Megurogawa!!

Admittance

Gonna work hard.

Dead asleep

I wonder if I'll have a

family like this someday.

I think that's up to you.

Maybe.

By the way, where'd Sachi go?

I just got invited over.

Don't worry! Sachi.

I see.

Nagi-kun said that, huh?

Yes. "We're engaged, aren't we?"

I felt stupid for taking care

of her all that time.

I'm glad that their relationship

is progressing, though.

Forcing them to live together paid off.

My mom and dad don't seem inclined to

insist they get married anymore, though.

That's what they said to us.

I see.

Are you angry at them

for talking out of turn?

Of course not.

I respect their wishes.

Besides

It's Nagi-kun and Erika who

get to choose in the end.

I'll continue watching from

afar for the time being.

Amano-san!

You didn't wash the dishes properly again.

And who said you could wash my clothes?!

I washed it by hand and

you're still complaining?!

You washed it? By hand?!

Just look at this plate.

It's still got food on it.

You're so nitpicky.

Who are you, my mother-in-law?

Besides, it's too early for

them to leave the nest.

I don't believe it.

How am I engaged to this guy?

That's my line!

Ugh! I can't stand being engaged to you!
