01x04 - Hanayome e no Ai wa Eien ka?

[bunniefuu]

The moment they met their brides,

some say they felt
magically drawn to them.

Others say their hearts began to race.

Is there a bride out there for me?

If I meet her...

will she fill the emptiness
I always feel?

What is this?

Stop the car!

Every demon that's had a bride
has said the same thing.

When you meet her, you'll know instantly.

I found her.

She's my bride and no one else's.

THE OGRE'S BRIDE

EPISODE 4:
IS THEIR LOVE FOR THEIR BRIDES ETERNAL?

Yuzu.

I've never felt this way before.

Good morning, Reiya.

Good morning. You don't need
to worry about a thing.

You're my bride.

As of today, you're the
lady of this house.

Okay.

I'd better do my best.

Wait...

All the servants are delighted

to welcome you, milady.

Raise your heads.

Yes, sir.

She'll be living here from now on.

This is Yuzu, my bride.

I-It's nice to meet all of you.

You needn't bow to us, milady.

May I introduce myself?

Yes, please do.

Thank you.

I am the head servant, Doukuu.

And this is Yukino,
who will be looking after you.

My name is Yukino.

I shall serve you as best I can.

We met when I first arrived.

Yes. I'm honored you remember me.

You've prepared Yuzu's room, yes?

Yes, Reiya-sama.

I acquired the finest furnishings
worthy of the Kiryuin name.

Good.

I'm okay with normal furnishings.

I wonder what the room is like.

Reiya-sama.

Do you have a moment?

What is it, Takamichi?

We've received a sudden message.

I'm sorry, Yuzu.

I wish I could stay with you, but I've
been summoned to the main house.

The main house?

Yes. They probably want
me to report on my bride.

I'll be gone for a while,
but you can relax.

Okay.

I feel kind of sad about
staying here by myself.

Reiya?

Be a good girl for me.

I'm not a child.

Nobody's ever patted my
head like this before.

For some reason, it's so calming.

Yuzu is a precious bride
of the Kiryuin family.

Treat anything she says
like it's coming from me.

Yes, sir.

Is something the matter?

No.

They say you're absolutely captivated
by your bride once you meet her

and give all your love to her
for the rest of your life.

Is that what this is?

I'm so jealous!

This is your room, milady.

I-It's so cute!

What do you think? Do you like it?

Yes. It's almost too cute.

I'm glad.

If you need anything, let me know.

I will.

Um...

Yes?

Reiya-san said I'm the reason he
was summoned to the main house.

Yes. Reiya-sama is the next head
of the main Kiryuin family.

The current head, his father, Senya-sama,

asked that he report directly to him.

Reiya-san's father?

Senya-sama stands at the
very top of demon society.

No one can match his demonic power.

He's going to tell him about me?

I hope that goes okay.

What?

Oh?

Ugh, it's them.

Isn't that our beloved son?

I believe it is!

Welcome home, Reiya-kun!

Mom, Dad, let go of me.

But you never visit.

And you're as handsome as ever.

Huh? Where's your bride?

You didn't bring her along, did you?

You're so bashful.

I'll bring her soon.

How exciting!

Tell us everything.

What's she like?
What do you like about her?

Obviously, your bride must be
lovely, but we're still so curious.

You're my bride.

As of today, you're the
lady of this house.

Bride. Lady of the house.

Is that really true?

Will Reiya say he doesn't
need me someday, too?

Am I really his bride?

You two seem to like this room.

WORK

Milady? What's the matter?

I'm going out for a bit!

W-Wait!

I completely forgot because
of everything that happened!

I have work!

I barely made it.

Huh? What's going on?

Hello. Sorry I just showed up.

That's not what I meant.

I heard you quit.

What? I quit?

Your guardians called to
say you'd be quitting.

But...

Is this some kind of prank?

Please let me work.

I can't.

High schoolers require their
guardians' approval to work,

and I've already found your replacement.

Now that I've cut ties with my parents,

I have to cover my own education.

I wonder if I can do that
while attending school.

I might have to quit school.

- TOUKO CELL PHONE

- Touko.

We're almost at Touko and
Nyankichi-kun's place.

You finally answered.
I've been trying to—

Touko!

Hey, what's going on?

I don't know what to do.

I was suddenly told I'm a bride,
and I might have to quit school.

Yuzu, come to our place. I'll listen
to everything you have to say.

Touko's so nice.

Have fun.

Yuzu-san, welcome to...

Huh? Oh, Nyankichi-kun.

Good even...

Yuzu, you...

Nyankichi-kun?

How...

How'd you get that all over you?!

What? There's nothing on me.

But you've got ogre all over you!

What's everyone yelling about?

Oh, Yuzu. Welcome.

This is no time for that.

Let's go.

Okay.

Nyankichi, bring us some tea.

Fine.

It seems like everything's okay, guys.

Come back soon, Reiya-kun.

Reiya-sama, I received a call.

Your bride left the mansion.

What? What's going on?

People really do change when
they meet their brides.

What? You were burned?

By that fox jerk?

Karin tore the dress I got for
my birthday, so I hit her.

That doesn't matter.

Nyankichi, go k*ll that fox jerk!

Don't be ridiculous.
I can't beat a fox demon.

Despite what happened, I don't
sense any fox power on you.

Why do I detect ogre instead?

Maybe because Reiya healed my burnt arm.

Reiya?

Yeah. I met him when
I ran away from home.

He said I was his bride.

Really? You're his bride?

So that Reiya guy is a demon?

Wait a minute.

By Reiya, you don't mean
Kiryuin Reiya-sama, do you?

I do.

Seriously?!

Y-You're the Kiryuin
family heir's bride?!

That's why I sensed ogre all over you!

Wow! He's the Kiryuin Reiya, right?

You don't need to act so surprised.

He's a Kiryuin!
The next head of the clan!

The pinnacle of demon society!

That's great, Yuzu!

You should hold your head high.

In fact, you should be laughing
at your parents and sister.

We'll be arriving at the lesser
demons' location shortly.

Hurry.

You two.

You let Yuzu out of your sight?

Take me to her.

He helped me cut ties with my parents
and be adopted by my grandparents.

Huh.

I think Reiya's the reason
I could make that decision.

I feel relieved now.

I'm glad.

You have someone to protect you now.

I couldn't do anything for you.

Touko, you've always
listened to me.

He doesn't like anyone taking Touko
from him, even another girl.

I'm jealous of their powerful bond.

Will Reiya really love me
just because I'm his bride?

By the way, it seemed
like you came alone.

You told him you were coming, right?

Oh, I didn't.

Are you stupid? They must be
losing their minds right now!

Why?

Demons aren't a monolith.

There are opposing clans,

but nobody dares to make a move
against the powerful ogre clans.

There's only one way to
strike back at the ogres.

By stealing their brides.

Brides are powerless and ordinary humans.

What if one were defenselessly
wandering around?

That would be pretty bad.

It's more than just bad.

I always have guards
assigned to Touko.

So be careful.

You could bring great prosperity
to the Kiryuin clan,

but you're also their only weakness.

So some will be reluctant to
welcome you into the family.

Be prepared for that.

I'm their weakness?

I was just happy that Reiya needed me.

For now, you should call the
Kiryuins to tell them you're safe.

Right.

Oh, I don't have their number.

Nyankichi, you do it.
I'm sure you can look it up.

Yeah, yeah.

You said you'd have to
quit school, right?

Just have the Kiryuin
family heir pay for it.

You're his bride.

But...

If I rely too much on Reiya,
there's no turning back.

If he suddenly decides he doesn't
need me and kicks me out...

I'm afraid of not being
able to support myself.

Yuzu.

Nyankichi?

Yuzu, I'm here to pick you up.

Reiya.

But we just called you.

I always know where these two are.

They're your bodyguards, after all.

I'm sorry I left without saying anything.

You don't need to worry about that.

Yuzu, introduce us.

This is my friend Touko.
She's Nyankichi-kun's bride.

I'm Touko. Nice to meet you.

I hope you'll continue
to be Yuzu's friend.

Of course!

Don't be rude to Kiryuin-sama.

And you've never made that
face around me before.

Why would I bother fawning over you now?

What?!

Reiya, is it okay if I work?

Apparently, my parents called
my job to quit on my behalf.

Oh, I'm the one who contacted them.

What? Why?

You don't need to work.

I'll take care of everything you need.

I don't want to be that reliant on you.

You're my bride.

When you accepted that,
the rest of your life became mine.

Let me handle everything.
