00:04Dara, listen carefully.
00:06A divination has shown that the Prince's Bride can be found in a country to the northwest of here.
00:10To the northwest, you say?
00:12If you will make contact every day to inform you of your location,
00:15I will then be able to point you in the right direction and guide you on your journey.
00:19I understand, Miss Choi.
00:21Choi!
00:22My prince!
00:23Hey there, prince!
00:24Did you have yourself a nice nap?
00:26Dara?
00:26That reminds me, Dara.
00:29Dara, are you really going to be leaving us so soon?
00:31You shall assume the role of king in a short while.
00:34It is imperative that we locate a suitable bride for you before that time comes.
00:38That is what our custom dictates.
00:39It is important that the custom be carefully preserved.
00:42But still, I worry about Dara going so far away.
00:46Dara, please be careful on your journey.
00:49Don't take any unnecessary risks.
00:51I'm aware of these things. I can look out for myself.
00:54Goodness, Dara! Why must you always do this?
00:56You address him much too frivolously.
00:58You mustn't worry about it, Choi.
01:00Dara and I grew up together and we've been friends since we were very young.
01:05Dara, promise me you'll take care of yourself.
01:07I hope that you will avoid traveling in times of bad weather.
01:10And if you run into any danger, please return immediately.
01:13Also...
01:14Boy, you're nagging me to death.
01:17Prince, you really needn't worry about me at all.
01:19Hey, don't land on his head like that!
01:25Dara, the time has now arrived.
01:27Yes, I understand that.
01:28So be on your way now, Dara.
01:30Begin your momentous journey.
01:32May the sound of this flute guide you on your way.
01:39Oh, Dara!
01:40I bid you farewell and pray that good fortune will illuminate your path.
01:45Take care, Dara!
01:56I'm so very tired.
01:58This is the first time I've left the island since the day I was born.
02:02It seems that this place has the prince's scent.
02:05Perhaps I'll rest here a while.
02:28It seems that this place has the body than me to dance.
02:33Do it!
02:35I'm the one who is born.
03:41Oh, Malti.
03:43Madam, stop chewing on me.
03:47Hmm.
03:49This young woman is to be the prince's bride.
03:53I never thought that girl would be a princess.
03:58Hey, Dara.
03:59Is it true that Tama's really going to be a royal bride someday?
04:02I always thought there was something special about Tama.
04:05Hmm.
04:06Oh, Dara.
04:07I just heard the news about Tama this morning.
04:09So has she definitely been chosen?
04:11Uh, I guess.
04:12Well, she's a candidate.
04:13A royal bride from our shopping arcade.
04:16Oh, can you believe it?
04:17There's always been something a little bit different about Tama.
04:20Do you agree with that, Dara?
04:21I suppose.
04:23Oh, my.
04:24It's Dara.
04:25Hmm?
04:30I have returned, young woman.
04:32Oh, hey there, Dara.
04:33Welcome back.
04:33Uh-huh.
04:34Back already.
04:36I returned just a moment ago.
04:37Here, Dara, you should try one.
04:39Tama, we do make this mochi to be sold, you know.
04:42It's yummy.
04:43Right?
04:48Hey, Tama, please don't be singing that song.
04:51Whatever you say, Dad.
04:56Miss Tamako, thank you very much, sir.
04:58I'm here to inform you that breakfast is now served.
05:01Choi, you don't have to be so formal with me.
05:03Just call me Tamako.
05:05I am sorry, but that simply will not do, miss.
05:07I treat you with great respect.
05:09You may become the prince's bride,
05:10so you're practically royalty already.
05:12Alas, Miss Choi, isn't it possible that there's been a mistake?
05:16No mistake has been made here.
05:17Multiple signs indicate that Miss Tamako's the bride.
05:20Huh?
05:20She has the same floral scent as the prince.
05:22I noticed that right away.
05:24And that mole at the base of her neck?
05:25All the brides of the mochi-mizui family
05:27have the same mark in the very same place.
05:29This is the exact same mark that my mother had.
05:32But moreover, Miss Tamako has deep ties
05:34to something that is known as mochi.
05:37We must approach Miss Tamako
05:39as if she were already a member of the royal family.
05:41Yes, ma'am.
05:42To be honest, I do think that there must be some mistake.
05:47Miss Tamako, if you do become the princess bride,
05:50you'll acquire the royal family name,
05:52Tamako Machu-mizui.
05:55Well, that ain't no good at all.
05:57Oh, no.
05:58That's pretty darn scary.
05:59Hearing a name like that so very suddenly
06:01is not good for the heart.
06:05Come to think of it.
06:08Uh, well...
06:09Uh, come to think of it, you guys.
06:10I'll have it filled up soon.
06:12Here it is, here it is.
06:13My very own shopping arcade point card.
06:16Well done.
06:17If you fill up a hundred of these cards,
06:18they present you with an award.
06:20A hundred of them?
06:22What sort of prize can you get for that?
06:24It's a medal!
06:26You get a shopping arcade medal!
06:27I haven't seen it yet,
06:28but apparently there's a picture
06:29of rabbits pounding mochi on it.
06:31It's taken me a really long time to finish,
06:33but finally, finally I've truly done it!
06:36And today will be the day I get the medal!
06:38I'm so excited about this!
06:43See you upon your return.
06:45Please be safe, madam.
06:46Come on, not you too, Jira.
06:48Okay, we're going.
06:53Just now, did I see...
06:56Mochi-so?
06:58Tama!
06:59Tamako!
07:00I heard you were going to...
07:02be the bride of some...
07:04Forget what you heard!
07:05I'm not going to be anybody's bride!
07:06I see!
07:07I knew that wasn't right!
07:08Tama, Choi said that it might really be true!
07:11Oh, I just remembered!
07:12Look at this, Mochi!
07:13Another three points and I'll have a hundred books filled!
07:16Come on, and look at this!
07:17What do you think?
07:18Pretty awesome, huh?
07:20Oh, that's great!
07:21You really did it!
07:22Mm-hmm!
07:23I get the last few stamps today!
07:25Huh?
07:26So, Tamako...
07:27I heard she was marrying a prince or something.
07:29The bride of a wayward prince.
07:31In her own way, of course.
07:32Wait a second!
07:33Why would you say something like that?
07:35I mean, this is Tamako here!
07:36There's no way that could be true,
07:38and it's really pretty sudden.
07:40I know, right?
07:42Wait, when did you...
07:43Just now!
07:44You're like a ninja, Tamako.
07:46What's going on?
07:46Are you going to be a bride or not?
07:47I think Choi just has the wrong idea!
07:50If it's true, it's a terrible shame.
07:52But I guess we'd better prepare ourselves for the possibility.
07:55I guess she is going with the strange but true theory.
07:58So, Tamako, it's not as if I'm doubting Choi's authority here,
08:02but I think you should probably be careful.
08:03And Midori's the conspiracy theorist.
08:05Incidentally, I subscribe to the success in business theory.
08:08They've handpicked Tamako so they can use her to make mochi for the Mochi Matsui family.
08:13And one day, she'll create some mochi that will make them and their island famous.
08:17I think Choi's one keen businesswoman.
08:18There's no way.
08:19Just no way.
08:20Yes way.
08:21Cheese.
08:26Really, Miss Choi, I'm having a hard time believing it.
08:29Believing this young woman is the bride.
08:31Perhaps another prediction is in order soon.
08:33That's fine, Dara.
08:35Today, let's focus on fixing your transceiver, okay?
08:37Ma'am?
08:38We've finally gotten a letter from back home telling us how to repair it.
08:41Very well, then.
08:42Forgive me.
08:50Let's ask Choi about it directly.
08:52Hey, guys.
08:53So that was the prince?
08:55I wondered who he was.
08:56Um, guys.
08:57Oh, you're right.
08:58He was the guy in Dara's projections, wasn't he?
09:00Wait a sec.
09:01Hey, Shuri, you're acting a little like a groupie.
09:04I'm sorry.
09:05Hang on, you guys.
09:06Everybody listen to me.
09:08Oh, Tamako.
09:09Sorry about that.
09:11Yeah, it's okay.
09:12Listen to this.
09:12I'm just about to get the last stamps I needed for my shopping arcade point card.
09:16So, you guys, do you mind if we do some shopping for dinner on the way home?
09:19We wouldn't mind at all, Tama.
09:21Aha!
09:22I welcome you, young mistress.
09:23He calls you young mistress?
09:25Suddenly, you're becoming a VIP.
09:27Come on, stop it, you guys.
09:28Two blocks of silken tofu.
09:30I have it ready for you.
09:31Oh, right.
09:31Could you stamp this, please?
09:33Sure thing.
09:33Here you go.
09:36Okay.
09:40There it is.
09:41Oh!
09:44I did it!
09:46I did it!
09:48I did it!
09:49Hooray!
09:51Look, I did it!
09:52I've got to run home and grab my other point cards now.
09:55So, please, you guys, I need you to all wait for me at Rabbit Bath, okay?
09:58Okay.
09:59And now, I'd like you to...
10:00I'm home!
10:01Miss Tamako's come back!
10:02It's good to see you, too, Choi!
10:05So, Tama...
10:06I'm so sorry, Choi, but I have to run back out!
10:08Young woman, what is going on with you?
10:10Dara!
10:10I mean, what prey is perspiring?
10:13Oh, Gary, it's great to be here.
10:15Chun, chun, chun, chun, chun, chun, chun, chun, chun, chun, chun.
10:21Chun, chun, chun, chun.
10:23Young woman, normally being chosen as a princess bride would be greater cause for joy in a young
10:29girl's life.
10:29Mm-hmm.
10:30But that situation kind of came right out of the blue.
10:33In order to earn a medal like this, I've been collecting stamps and saving up these point
10:37cards ever since I was an elementary school student.
10:39So, from a personal standpoint, this medal makes me much, much happier.
10:45Tamako, you finally did it, didn't you?
10:47I sure did.
10:48No one else from the shopping arcade has ever won one of these before.
10:51You've done very well, Tama.
10:54Miss Tamako, I'm very sorry to bother you while you were so busy, but...
11:05Ah, Dai's here.
11:07Hmm.
11:08Mm-hmm.
11:09Prince!
11:10Chui, I'm glad to see you're looking so well.
11:13Ah, it's him!
11:14This is the young woman that I told you about in my recent letter.
11:17I now present Tamako Kitashirikawa.
11:20Um, so, hello.
11:23Tamako Kitashirikawa.
11:24Well, that is her name, for now, at least.
11:26What's up with you?
11:27Those comms are amazing.
11:29It's nice to meet you.
11:30I'm Mecha Mochimatsui.
11:32I hate that name.
11:33Come on, Dai.
11:34Try to calm down, please.
11:35You know, it just can't be helped.
11:36It's the name he was born with.
11:38So, is everybody related on your island?
11:40Dara and I do share a surname with the royal family, but we're not related to them by blood.
11:45Everyone who serves the royal family is required to adopt its surname.
11:50Miss Tamako?
11:51Chui, Dara, and the royal family and I are in your debt.
11:54Thank you very much, my good miss.
11:56Oh, no, it's nothing at all.
11:58I really should be thanking you.
11:59I would like to show my gratitude by offering you a chance to visit me.
12:03The transceiver's still not working right.
12:07Tell me, Miss Choi, how did it go?
12:08Well, Miss Tamako and the prince were able to exchange pleasantries at the very least.
12:12Sounds like I did quite well and have proven my utility once again.
12:16The regular cell phone will get way better reception than you do, Dara.
12:19It does seem like the prince is a very nice person.
12:22Oh, yes, he is quite a wonderful person.
12:24He's wise and he is cheerful, but he's also humble and very approachable, too.
12:28All of the people in our country adore him.
12:30But Choi, he looks so young, like he's still a child.
12:33He is young, that's true.
12:35But he is a solid character.
12:36How could she know that from such a short conversation?
12:39But Mochizo, what Choi says about him simply doesn't matter.
12:44Please listen to me, Choi.
12:46I really don't think I'm cut out to be the bride of a prince,
12:49and I just don't think I'm the right match for him.
12:53Everyone, I'm so sorry about all the fuss.
12:56Go back to your shops, okay?
12:59Tamako?
13:05Miss Choi?
13:07It wouldn't be that bad, would it?
13:09That prince, he's very handsome.
13:12But I think I'd like to see those columns in person.
13:15I'm curious about their construction.
13:17Now, wait just a second!
13:19What is it?
13:20How can you be so indifferent to Tamako's situation?
13:22If suddenly, well, suddenly...
13:27Like, for example,
13:28what if my teddy bear suddenly disappeared because somebody stole it?
13:32That'd be awful.
13:34Yeah, I understand.
13:37It's kind of scary, isn't it?
13:39For something familiar to suddenly change like that.
13:43Nito.
13:46I feel scared, too.
13:48Like I'm standing at the edge of the universe,
13:50anticipating something unknown.
13:52I'm flustered, really.
13:55I suspect that Tamako's more scared than all of us.
13:59Yeah.
14:00He is a real light prince, you know?
14:03He was super formal and called Sis Miss Tamako.
14:06That really shocked me.
14:08Well, that's interesting.
14:09But I wonder, how is Tamako?
14:12I'm really not sure what she thinks.
14:15I'm making tofu hamburgers tonight.
14:18But Miss Tamako, you should let me do this for you.
14:20Well, thank you for offering, Choi, but let's do it together.
14:25Yes, okay.
14:27So will you mix these things for me, Choi?
14:29Yes.
14:30So, well, we'll have...
14:31You can do that by hand.
14:31You've already spoken with the prince,
14:33so do we have an official royal bride-to-be or do we not?
14:36Dara, get down from there and don't be so arrogant.
14:39Yes, ma'am!
14:41I understand.
14:43So I'm not allowed to stand on the young lady's head anymore?
14:46Hey, be back later.
14:48Where are you going?
14:49There's a meeting at Rabbit Bath today.
14:51Oh, really?
14:52I don't remember hearing about a meeting.
14:54What do you do about dinner?
14:55I'll just grab some udon on the way home.
14:57Huh?
14:58But I'm making your favorite dish tonight, tofu hamburgers.
15:01But it ain't my favorite at all.
15:03Whenever you make it, I've got no choice but to eat it, right?
15:06You're so cruel.
15:07If that's how you feel, I guess I'll just go get married then.
15:14Hang on.
15:15Please wait just a minute.
15:17Where do you think you're going?
15:18I'm going to the meeting as well.
15:21Hey.
15:22She's pretty serious about getting married, you know.
15:24I am fully aware of that.
15:26All right, Ben.
15:28That's fine.
15:30Dara, he's from your country, right?
15:32He is indeed.
15:33It's quite a splendid place.
15:34How you doing, son?
15:35Something wrong?
15:35You can't just relax at home all by yourself.
15:38Is that the problem?
15:39That's not...
15:39That ain't it.
15:41But I wonder how you feel about it, father.
15:45Huh?
15:46Ah!
15:46Don't hit me!
15:47Oh, come, come, come now.
15:49Don't be so angry, good sir.
15:51Oh?
15:53It almost seems too good to be true, doesn't it?
15:55What are you doing back here at home, Sayuri?
15:57I was just so curious about Tamako.
15:59Oh, I have to pour some tea.
16:01Thanks so much.
16:02Sorry about that.
16:04Well, I guess this could turn out to be a good thing for Tama after all.
16:08Tama does deserve happiness, doesn't she?
16:10Oh, I do hope that she finds it.
16:12But Tamako is still such a young girl.
16:14She's the same age as my granddaughter.
16:16Now, hold on just a minute.
16:17I think it's time to consider how Tamako feels.
16:19You really believe Tamako's some prince's bride?
16:24Oh, Dai, you might not think she's meant to be a princess,
16:27but if the right person comes along one day,
16:29you're going to have to let her go and do it with a smile.
16:34Tamako does a great job in the shop,
16:36and she does well around the house too, wouldn't you agree?
16:40But you can't expect to keep her tied down here
16:43in this shopping arcade with us forever, can you?
16:45She says she never wants to leave the shopping arcade,
16:48but is that really a good idea?
16:49I'm not sure.
16:50Tamako should do whatever will make her happiest.
16:56Seriously, where do you all get off?
16:59Tamako is my...
17:01Tamako is my daughter.
17:06I swear, those guys have no idea how I feel.
17:22Isn't this the song that you used to like, Dai?
17:25It's the one that inspired the song you wrote for Hina go back in the old days.
17:32We can't always hold on to the things that are important.
17:35By letting them go, we gain something else.
17:38Keeping the things we love close by doesn't always equal happiness.
17:48I guess it's my own special twist on Irish coffee.
17:56Young lady, may I have a glass of wine?
17:58Yes, okay.
18:01Father's still out somewhere, isn't he?
18:04Mm-hmm.
18:04It is odd.
18:06I wonder what happened.
18:07Well, it seems there are certain times when a person needs to be alone for a while.
18:11Oh, I see.
18:16What's up, Dad?
18:18Are you okay?
18:20Oh, I'm...
18:21All right.
18:23I'm really sorry about before, Father.
18:31Tamago...
18:32Taroko?
18:32No, no.
18:34I mean, Tamago.
18:36Just Barbie.
18:37Okay?
18:40Not a mango, just Barbie?
18:42Is that what he said?
18:44Come on now, my good man.
18:47If you wish to go to sleep, you should really consider going to her room.
18:58Tamago, I think you should know
19:00that no matter where you go
19:02and no matter who you're with,
19:03I'll be fine, just as long as you're happy.
19:07And it's not just me who thinks so.
19:09Everyone in the shopping arcade feels the same way.
19:12They told me so.
19:13Okay, goodnight.
19:14Over.
19:17Goodnight to you, Mochizo.
19:25What the heck?
19:26What's with everyone around here?
19:29Do they really want me to leave you that badly, or what?
19:32I'll round them up and I'll pound them into Mochi!
19:37Tamago?
19:38Oh, Anko.
19:40I'm sorry.
19:42Did I wake you up?
19:44It's been a while, but do you want to sleep together tonight?
19:54Tama, you should lay on your side.
19:56We can play koala.
19:58Mm-hmm.
20:03Good night.
20:09Sometimes we seek change,
20:12yet we don't want things to change.
20:14The human heart is full of contradictions,
20:16but we must attempt to reconcile our internal conflicts
20:19if we are to enjoy a happier tomorrow.
20:26Yeah!
20:28We need to do this.
20:29Oh, my God.
20:29Oh, my God.
20:31Oh, my God.
20:46Oh, my God.
20:49Maybe I should display it right here
20:52It's gone!
20:55Tamako, what's the matter?
20:56My medal has disappeared!
20:58Is there a problem, Tamako?
20:59It's really gone!
21:00What's really gone?
21:01My medal is just gone!
21:03But it's first thing in the morning, Tama
21:05When did you notice it was missing?
21:06Whatever you lost?
21:08My medal is gone!
21:09Right after I got it, I showed it off to everybody
21:11Then I put it in my bag
21:12I wanted it this morning, so I looked for it in my bag
21:14But I couldn't find it because it's gone!
21:16Have you had a chance to search the house?
21:18Of course I searched there!
21:19Have you looked in every nook and cranny?
21:20Every single one!
21:21Oh, Karu!
21:23It's all because you walked around showing it off to everyone
21:25Kara!
21:26It's because you perambulated, brandishing a bounty, Miss Tamako
21:29I guess maybe it is at home after all
21:31I'll give you my points if you want
21:32I have 50 books filled up
21:34Thanks for offering, but it's kind of meaningless
21:36if I didn't collect the points myself
21:39My medal!
21:41Could this be what you're looking for, young lady?
21:45Huh?
21:51My medal!
21:54My medal!
21:57My medal!
22:01Misses forKing harm orвиamin'
22:08With all you who are on
22:13I offered you this morning
22:14But seriously, I was thinking about it
22:19I won't be mentioned
22:20My medal!
22:29Isisco
22:30The world burning.
22:36It's just a moment.
22:39But the place is going to be confirmed.
22:43I'll never go away from where I will.
