Firefly Wedding (2026) s01e05 Episode Script

You came here because you don't
have anywhere else to go, right?
If you don't behave, you'll regret it!
Excuse me,
we still have work to do, so…
What did you say?
Your lover hasn't been
around lately, has he?
He said he wanted to spend
a night with me next time.
His back must hurt from
having a big pig ride him all the time.
Excuse me.
We have work to do.
Are we done here?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt.
You look good in that outfit.
She's just pretending to be weak.
I wonder why Mr. Shinpei is even
interested in someone like her.
She's nothing but a little fly.
I'm embarrassed you had to witness that.
Those women are Sawarabi,
Hatsune, and Yukari.
Yukari is the second most
popular girl at the brothel,
and she often steals my customers.
Well, that's only because I'm
not good enough, though.
This work…
I've only been doing this
work for a little while,
but I can already tell how hard it is.
I truly respect you for being
able to keep going, Aoi.
I'm happy to hear you say that.
Life here isn't easy,
but once my contract ends,
there's someone I want to be with.
That's what keeps me going.
Someone you want to be with?
Come on,
don't ask such personal questions.
Does…
Does being with someone you
love really make you happy?
Ah! I'm sorry! I was just curious!
I couldn't help asking!
Can I call you Satoko?
Yes.
Have you ever fallen in love
with someone, Satoko?
No, never.
I see.
It's truly wonderful.
I'd gladly die in the arms
of the man I love.
Does love really make you that happy?
I'm not pretty, so it's hard
for me to attract customers.
But I have to work hard if I want
to make my dream come true.
Her idea of marriage is completely
different from the kind of I want.
She wants to marry purely for love.
I'm rooting for you, Aoi.
Thank you.
We're both working hard at this brothel,
so I hope we can get along.
That would be great!
Oh, right. Be careful around
those three from earlier.
Yukari in particular had
a strong personality,
but you never know what she might do
when it comes to Mr. Shinpei.
Oh, you don't know?
Mr. Shinpei used to be Yukari's lover.
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)
Lover, huh? I see.
He said he'd never had
a special relationship with anyone,
but isn't having a lover
already pretty special?
Does that mean he has another
relationship with some other woman?
Maybe he has one in every brothel…
Hey, errand girl!
Hm?
This place is kinda dirty.
But if he's planning to get married,
does that mean he'll cut
ties with the other women?
No, he might not end things
with them right away.
Should I just pretend not to notice?
Wait, why am I imagining
myself as his wife?!
Oh, sorry about that.
My legs are just so long.
You should watch where you're going.
I-If he's surrounded by temptations
like this every day…
No, why should I care
about that man anyway?!
Isn't your portion a little smaller?
This is just the right amount for me.
(Day Three)
(Get lost, newbie! Drop dead, you vixen!)
My kimono ripped.
While you were sleeping, I had to run
all over the island. It was exhausting.
Don't push yourself too hard, okay?
I can help you with this much.
There you are, Mr. Shinpei.
I would've helped you
tend to your wounds.
You seem a little down.
Is something bothering you?
Have you ever been in
love with someone, Yukari?
Huh? What's gotten into you?
This isn't like you.
We're getting married, right?
Who knows?
Oh, Satoko!
I'm going to the privy.
I never understand how people feel,
but women's feelings are
especially hard to figure out.
You just have to feel it with your body.
Just touch her like this, and see
if her heart starts racing.
See if her heart races?
Satoko…
(Blank)
Pardon me for interrupting.
Oh, no, she saw us.
Now, where were we?
Oh, right, how to tell
what a woman's feeling.
You can't feel how fast my heart
is beating through my kimono, can you?
Touch me directly
and feel it for yourself.
Come on, Mr. Shinpei.
What's wrong, Mr. Shinpei?
You used to…
Yukari.
Do you know who switched
Nitobe's water with alcohol?
Who knows? I've heard rumors that he lost
control and got violent with that girl.
I see.
Let me know if you find out
anything about the culprit.
You seem awfully
concerned about that girl.
Yeah.
She's the one I'm going to marry.
M-Marry?!
That's right.
She proposed to me.
So I'm worried about her.
Actually…
Hm?
There's something I haven't told you
because I didn't want to trouble you…
Lord Nitobe has forced himself
on me many times.
I was so scared.
If only I'd asked for help sooner,
perhaps that girl
wouldn't have gotten hurt!
Oh? Then try to speak up
sooner next time.
Bye.
I didn't see anything.
Calm down and clear your mind!
Satoko, is something wrong?
Huh? Why do you ask?
You have a scary look on your face.
Did something happen between
Mr. Shinpei and Yukari in that room?
How did you know?
I saw Yukari going into the room
where Mr. Shinpei was.
They were hugging.
What?! Hugging?!
Why are you so upset?
I'm not upset!
I'm just a little irritated.
Why?
Well… I'm not sure.
Satoko, are you in love
with Mr. Shinpei?
Huh?
You feel this way because
Mr. Shinpei is with another woman.
Has this ever happened before?
Have you ever gotten upset when
he talked about other women?
You're the lightest woman
I've ever carried!
Ugh!
I knew it!
I'm rooting for you!
Falling in love is such
a wonderful thing.
You think about that person
all the time and lose track of time.
Even though we're in this line of work,
we ought to have the right
to love whoever we want.
It's not love.
Huh?
Aoi, actually, my future
has already been decided.
Your future?
Is it with someone you love?
No. I've never even met him.
Is it some kind of political marriage?
Are you really okay with that?
Because that's what will make me happy.
But it's sad to get married
without ever knowing love.
I know why my feelings
have been so unsettled.
I've decided to devote all
my remaining time and energy
to fulfilling my duty.
I simply got carried away.
This is the first time a man has
ever shown me genuine affection.
But I lost sight of
the one thing I should be doing.
How pathetic.
How long are you going
to keep cleaning? It's time to open.
It's already that late?!
I have to get changed!
Sorry, Satoko.
Can you do me a favor?
Of course!
There's a storage shed
behind this building.
Can you get some firewood for me?
I under… Eek!
Mr. Shinpei?!
How long have you been there?!
I only just got here.
You shouldn't go outside alone.
I'll come with you.
Firewood… Is this the firewood?
- This is so awkward.
- Yeah, that's it.
Is it because I saw them together earlier?
He should forget about marrying me
and just get back together with Yukari.
Let me carry that.
I have to avoid being alone with him.
And lose track of time.
I absolutely mustn't let that happen.
I'll go on ahead.
Hm?
Huh?
Hm?
Looks like someone
locked us in from the outside.
What?!
We're trapped in here.
It opened just fine
when we came in, though.
Someone must have closed it.
No way.
Who would do that?
Also, could you at least help me?!
Surely you could open it easily!
Well, this is a good opportunity.
Why don't we talk for a bit?
Talk?
Sit down.
Why have you been
in such a bad mood lately?
I'm not in a bad mood…
Yes, you have. You've been acting
strangely ever since you woke up.
I'm sorry if you feel that way.
I don't want an apology.
I want to know why.
We'll be together from now on,
so if I've done something wrong,
I want to fix it.
Remember how you said I would've
said yes to anyone who accepted me?
That's why you're upset, isn't it?
Forget it. I don't want
to talk about that anymore.
Well, I can't.
I've never been good at understanding
other people's feelings, let alone my own.
I might hurt you over
something like this again.
I never want to make you sad.
It wasn't just anyone.
You're different from the other girls.
But it's hard for me to explain why.
I've been thinking back on everything
that's happened since we met.
And I finally realized one thing.
I love your eyes, Satoko.
They're so clear, as if they gather
all the light around them.
They're beautiful.
They're nothing like mine.
I want to keep looking into them,
and I want you to look back at me.
There are many other reasons, too.
But I can't put them into words.
I'm sorry.
Is that not a good enough reason?
Please don't look at me
so sincerely like that.
I love you, Satoko.
Stay by my side forever.
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
My future has already been decided.
When I return home, I'm going to marry
a man my father approves of.
I've been lying to you
this whole time.
I was kidnapped
and nearly assaulted,
so I needed your help to survive.
I'm truly sorry.
So, you're saying you can't marry me?
Yes.
Then what about all the time
we've spent together?
So those eyes were full of lies after all.
You deceived me.
Now that you know what I do,
I can't let you live.
Are you prepared for that?
You're still afraid of me, aren't you?
I guess your bravery when
we first met was just an act.
What a disappointment.
I'm sorry I hurt you…
I have no reason to help you anymore.
Bye.
I don't care about a woman
who has no interest in me.
But…
Hey, why are you crying?
Because I don't know
how I'm going to survive now…
And I regret hurting you…
Then just marry me.
I can't do that.
I'm really sorry.
I'm done with you.
So, what are you going to do?
Can you survive on your own?
I'm really going to leave.
Are you okay with that?
If you marry me,
I can get you off this island.
I have a duty to fulfill.
I must marry a man
from a respectable family
and protect my family.
I want to repay my father,
who has always stood by me and
encouraged me despite my condition.
Marrying the man he chooses,
and protecting the Kirigaya family is
my dream and the purpose of my life.
I don't know how many
years I have left to live.
But as long as I live long enough
to get married, that's all that matters.
I'll make it happen, no matter what!
That's why…
I can't marry you!
Geez, what am I supposed to do?
It's pointless for me to stay with you,
yet I came right back.
Just marry me!
Give me a reason to be with you!
I can't do that.
I'll find another way off this island.
Thank you for everything
you've done for me.
Wait.
Fine, I'll help you.
But I'm going to marry you anyway.
Like I said…
Whenever you find someone to marry,
I'd kill them.
I'll kill them one after another.
And if I'm the only man
left in the world,
then you'll have no choice
but to marry me, right?
The Kirigaya family has
excellent bodyguards.
Not even you could kill them.
I wouldn't be so sure.
Even if you help me,
I'll run away from you
once we get off this island.
I'll catch you.
I'm faster, after all.
Do you still want to help me?
Even though I lied to you?
Well, yeah.
Then I'll have to kidnap you
when you leave the island.
And you'd better run for your life
if you don't like it.
Thank you so much…
Don't cry.
Seeing you cry makes me anxious.
It doesn't matter anymore.
As long as you stay by my side.
Aoi.
Miss Yukari.
Have you seen Mr. Shinpei?
Um, he went to the shed with Satoko.
What?!
Just the two of them?!
Yes…
That bitch! She'll have to get hurt
before she learns her lesson!
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
