Firefly Wedding (2026) s01e04 Episode Script

Mr. Shinpei…
It hurts…
It hurts…
It hurts so bad I could die!
But don't worry, Satoko.
Even if I get riddled with bullets,
I'll definitely save you.
I'm your husband, after all.
Sticky and clinging
I take off the lint.
To the way wind blows
I quit walking like that.
Bashful but rejecting heart.
If it's me.
It's faster when the
awoken morning comes
I breathe, distant tomorrow.
It's yours.
Simplified and pathetic,
Can you turn off those festival lights?
Even in the dark.
If we look for each other.
They glow, our tears.
It feels like we are struggling.
But we're moving on no matter where.
So absorbed, I was about to stop.
The days I left behind.
They made me bloom.
The last moments on my own.
With simple and plain things
I want to live.
No one else's "now".
Set it to the sound raining down.
Slip through the streets.
Drenched in untouchable love
I can be me because.
You are who you are
I various.
The days I appended
I various.
The genuine period
I various.
What few days I added.
Shifted, the period can still be away
(Firefly Wedding)
When you told me
to leave the room, I did.
I even resisted the urge
to step in and save you
until you turned down his offer.
Stay back! Come any closer,
and this woman will…
I think anyone who tries to hurt my wife
deserves to disappear from this world.
But if Satoko tells me
not to kill them, I'll obey.
Because everything I do is for Satoko!
What the hell is this guy?!
He's creepy!
Get lost!
You bitch!
Please stop!
He's unconscious!
That's not nearly enough.
I want to make him regret
what he did to you.
Even so, he's already…
Hey, are you listening?!
I told you to stop!
You're bleeding!
I'm sorry!
I got a little carried away!
That hurt.
I'm bleeding.
Wipe it off, Satoko.
Use your handkerchief.
We need to treat your
gunshot wound right away!
That can wait. Just gently wipe
my forehead first.
Um…
Thank you for saving me.
So? Have you fallen
even more in love with me?
Absolutely not.
Ah, I mean, um…
You go way too far!
I'm not going to be happy
just because you did this for me.
You might not understand because of
your profession, but violence is wrong.
Beating people is barbaric.
Do you understand?
No matter who they are,
you must never kill anyone!
But you smashed my head
with that lantern…
One more thing!
You mustn't move after being shot.
You moved too much.
No wonder you've lost so much blood.
What would happen if you died?
You don't want me to die?
I'm not answering that!
This isn't how I imagined
things would turn out.
I'll go get someone,
so just lie down.
(Isekichi)
I'm deeply sorry!
I never imagined I'd do something
so despicable when I got drunk…
I don't even know
how to apologize…
Then, could I ask you
for one favor?
Yes! Anything you want!
Then please deliver a message
to the Kirigaya family.
Tell them, "Satoko is being held
captive on a forbidden island,
but she promises to return alive."
Understood. I'll make sure
they get the message.
And I'm truly sorry about
your gunshot wound…
If this ever happens again,
I'll kill you on the spot.
So feel free to come back anytime.
I promise I'll keep my word!
Now, if you'll excuse me!
We look forward to your next visit!
I'm sorry.
Hm?
You got that wound
because of a mistake I made…
It's fine.
I'm used to it.
Huh?
More importantly,
his water was swapped with alcohol.
Someone must've played a prank on you.
What about you?
After everything that happened,
does your scar hurt at all?
M-My scar?
How much did he hear about it?
Or maybe he saw my scar too?
Satoko.
W-Why are you stripping?!
See? I'm covered in scars.
Compared to mine,
your scar isn't a big deal.
Hmm?
Is he trying to cheer me up
in his own way?
I've hidden this scar
ever since I was little.
But when I'm around him…
My scar is much bigger
and deeper than yours.
Pretty cool, right?
It's my badge of honor.
…It makes me want to bare my soul.
But I have more scars than you.
You don't have to compete with me.
More importantly, is there
another way to leave this island?
Now that you mention it…
If we ask the people on the island,
we might find something…
But if we ask around too much… Hm?
Hey, are you okay?
I'm sorry…
Once I start coughing,
it's hard to…
Huh?
Satoko!
Where are you from?
I'm from Higo! Higo? Where is that?
It's in Kumamoto.
Kumamoto? Where is that?
Mother!
May I go outside
for just a little while?
Of course not.
It's only been three days
since your fever broke.
I just want to watch Miwako
and the others.
I promise I won't play with them.
It seems you still don't understand
why you were born.
You're the property
of the Kirigaya family.
That means you're nothing but a tool.
You're already a burden
on this family as it is.
The least you can do
is fulfill your role.
Don't think you have any freedom.
Satoko…
Satoko…
Satoko!
Are you okay?
Where am I?
In a room at the brothel.
You suddenly collapsed,
so I carried you here.
I've caused trouble again?
Thank goodness.
You slept for three whole days.
I was so worried.
Three days?!
I'm sorry, I…
Don't mind it.
It's a husband's duty to take care
of his wife when she's sick.
You were tossing and turning a lot.
Were you having nightmares?
I was dreaming about my childhood.
Back then, I was even
frailer than I am now.
Whenever I got sick, I had to stay home
for a while, even after I recovered.
And I'm terrified
of dying alone like that.
Wait here a moment.
I'm back!
I'll turn off the lights for a moment.
I caught them by the river.
It's like we're outside, isn't it?
I'll set you free, no matter
where we are, Satoko.
What a strange man…
I'd been afraid of him all this time…
You know…
Fireflies spend their entire lives
underwater after they're born.
Once they come out onto land,
they die pretty soon.
Maybe that's why
they shine so beautifully.
Oh? I guess this one grew weak.
Um…
I really appreciate your kindness,
but could you let them go?
Hm?
Their lives are short, so instead
of keeping them in this small space…
I want them to shine wherever they want.
You're so kind.
That's it!
Once we get off this island,
let's build a house somewhere
fireflies appear every year.
It'll have to be near a river,
so we can dive in and
catch fish together every summer.
I've never jumped into a river before.
Really? You haven't?
But I'd like to try it.
Right? Then it's settled.
I think I'll cut back on work
so I can spend more time with you.
Do you plan on being
an assassin for the rest of your life?
Of course.
I'd have nothing left
if I stopped killing.
Besides, I'll need money
to make you happy, right?
You always put me first,
but what about yourself?
Are you willing to leave
your hometown just to marry me?
I'm not particularly attached
to this island.
What about your parents?
I never knew my father.
My mother was a courtesan, and
a customer killed her when I was little.
The man who killed her
was the first person I ever killed.
I still remember it vividly.
The way he writhed in agony.
It felt so good.
Do you feel sorry for me?
Huh?
Then I'd like you to comfort me.
I've had such a tragic life.
Have you been hiding behind
that flippant attitude all this time?
Huh?
Maybe you're the one who
really wants to escape this island.
Hiding your feelings
won't change reality.
You'd be better off
running away from it all.
Let's leave this island
together and be free.
You'll run away with me?
Yes.
Though only until
we get off the island…
I'm so happy.
Then, let's think of
another way to escape.
Huh? My bandages…
It's a pain to wrap them again.
You're always protecting me,
yet this is the only way
I can repay you. I'm sorry.
Even if it's something this small,
I'm happy as long as it's
something you do for me.
It's frustrating that
this is all I can do.
He stays by my side
even when he's injured.
If I can't be useful, I'll be
nothing but a burden to him.
All right!
This feels good!
Thank you, Satoko.
Eh?
Here's a thank-you for treating me!
Ahh, I'm so happy.
Just having you by my side
like this is enough for me.
Up you go!
You're still recovering,
so let's get you back into bed.
Yes…
This is strange.
Why am I suddenly so conscious of him?
You're so light, Satoko.
That's not true…
You're the lightest girl
I've ever carried.
That doesn't make me happy.
Huh? No one's ever told me that before.
Women are usually happy
when I tell them they're light.
Thank you.
You're used to doing this
sort of thing, aren't you?
Not really.
Um…
Let me ask you again.
What do you like about me?
I love everything about you,
but most of all,
I love how you accepted me.
Now I understand why he
suddenly agreed to marry me.
It's not that he loves me at all…
So anyone who accepted you
would have been fine, right?
What? That's not true.
I want to marry you.
Can you really love someone that much
after knowing them for only a few days?
Besides, can an assassin like you
even understand love?
The way you feel about me
must be the same as the affection
you feel for a child or an animal!
I'm saying such a harsh thing.
It's not like I love him either.
Then do you know what love is?
L-Love is… Well…
It's a feeling of cherishing someone.
In other words…
It's something that grows mutually!
Hm?
I can only come up
with abstract explanations!
Anyway, don't take marriage so casually.
Satoko, why are you angry?
Did I say something that upset you?
No. I'm going to sleep.
Satoko, I love you.
We're getting married, right?
Who knows?
We're not getting married?
Did you lie when you said you would?
I told you, didn't I?
If you break your promise,
then both you and I will…
I said I'm going to sleep!
Geez! What am I doing?!
He hasn't done anything wrong!
But for some reason, I'm angry!
I'm so angry with him!
What is going on with me?!
(Isekichi)
I feel much better now.
Good morning, Satoko.
I have good news for you.
Huh?
Guess what?
We can leave
this island safely by boat!
What?
I bribed a ship captain.
We can leave in ten days.
Really? Was it that easy?
Well, not at all.
It took me days to convince him.
I was told the only way off this island
was to have someone buy out my contract,
but can I really trust this?
No, there's always a risk
in anything we do.
I should be happy about this.
Thank you so much!
It's dangerous outside, so let's
stay here for the next ten days.
A woman staying anywhere other than
a brothel would attract attention.
I'll go get you something to eat.
Oh, I'll come with you.
No. You still need to rest.
You should rely on me more.
He's acting just like he always does.
I feel silly for overthinking things.
There's no way I could have that
kind of relationship with an assassin.
First, I should apologize
for how I acted yesterday.
Ah, Mr. Shinpei!
Long time no see!
Where have you been?
I'm so glad to see you this early
in the morning, Mr. Shinpei!
Why not stay here forever?
Oh, Satoko!
I brought you some food…
Satoko?
I'm going to the privy.
T-The privy is that way…
It's nice to meet you, Satoko.
I'm Aoi, and I'll be your mentor
for the time being.
Please feel free to ask me anything.
I look forward to working with you.
But you don't have to work…
I can't just stay here for free.
Try not to overdo it, okay?
Agh, I was harsh with him again…
Um… What exactly is your
relationship with Mr. Shinpei?
What?!
Everyone's been talking about you two.
They say Mr. Shinpei brought a beautiful
woman here and spent nights with her.
W-We don't have
that kind of relationship!
He just introduced
this place to me, that's all.
It didn't look that way to me.
He was so worried
when you were bedridden
that he stayed up all night
looking after you.
Um…
May I ask you something?
What kind of man is Shinpei Goto
to everyone around here?
You don't know,
even though you're with him?
Mr. Shinpei is the bodyguard
for all the brothels on this island.
He deals with troublesome customers
and protects us,
so quite a few courtesans admire him.
Even the heads of the various
establishments hold him in high regard.
He's an incredible man.
As I thought,
no one knows he's an assassin.
But I'd heard that Mr. Shinpei
had never had a special relationship
with any of the courtesans…
Hey, what's with that outfit?
Have you stopped taking customers?
Still, you must've been through
a terrible ordeal.
I heard someone switched the water
meant for Lord Nitobe with alcohol.
Who would do such a horrible thing?
Are you feeling better now?
Y-Yes. I'm sorry for causing
so much trouble…
You're so lucky to have
Mr. Shinpei looking after you.
I wish I'd been born frail, too.
That's going a bit too far…
Don't think you can get away
with those cheap tricks, newbie.
Stay away from Mr. Shinpei!
The only woman he favors
is Yukari!
I could live on even alone.
So I never feared anything.
No matter what, no matter what.
My mind was filled
with nothing but questions.
More than anything, I was just afraid.
Of losing your warm skin.
As if our sorrows were blending
together, just the two of us.
No matter where we go,
please don't let me go.
Let's comfort each other
as many times as we have wounds.
Even if it means burning
our lives away until death
I believe that will never change.
In my arms,
the ones everyone feared.
The one who cried
in them, my beloved
I could live on even alone.
So I never feared anything.
But I did
