Episode 4

**Promise** (約束, *Yakusoku*?) is the fourth episode of the *Tonikaku Kawaii* Anime Adaptation.

## Synopsis

A lonely wife is all alone in her house the day after she got married. Has she been dumped? Nope, but she has to wait for her beloved one until he comes home as he doesn't have the keys. How can she kill time? Will there be an unwanted guest aka a new character? Well yes, otherwise why would I have chosen such a specific question to lengthen this poor preface?

## Summary

Tsukasa, awaiting Nasa's return, decides to clean the place but finds out much to her surprise that her capable hubby has already cleaned everything in plain sight, and she doesn't want to risk seeing what sort of "secret" things he might have hidden away. And so, we will never find out if Nasa is a pervert. Will this stop Tsukasa's attempt to surprise Nasa when he comes back? Nah, as there is another thing that can be done around the house: cooking. But soon the doorbell rings and Tsukasa, who assumes it's Nasa goes to answer, only to be greeted by a young girl: Chitose Kaginoji, "Tsukasa's sister, but not her real sister".Indeed, she refers to Tsukasa as her "sister" and says how the place Tsukasa is now staying is a shabby apartment complex and doesn't suit her. Reply? Before she can finish Tsukasa peacefully shuts the door in her face.

But the small girl starts weeping so hard Tsukasa decides to open the door again. The reason Chitose came looking for Tsukasa is that their Grandaunt, Tokiko Tsukuyomi, is worried. Indeed, Tokiko knew Tsukasa's location and Chitose forced her to give up Tsukasa's position and meet her without Tokiko's permission. Obviously, all of that was for the sake of her nee-sama (Tsukasa). But Tsukasa can't see any reason for Tokiko's involvement and ends Chitose's attempts to bring her back by telling her she is now married.

Chitose, wowed by his spirit decides to tell him what happened (without mentioning Tsukasa's name) and describes the person she has problems with:

She is like a butterfly with glass wings... A glass butterfly that flies through the night, trying to reach the moon... She's easily hurt, delicate and disappears the second you let her out of your sight, but she is still someone I care a lot about " *~~Chitose talking about Tsukasa.*

And just when she starts appreciating the fact that he was randomly listening to a depressed middle school girl... she heard a loud "oh dear!" from Tsukasa who popped out behind her and so, she quickly realizes Nasa is Tsukasa's husband.

Tsukasa tells Nasa that the girl is Chitose Kaginoji; a girl who was taken in by her family. Nasa casually introduces himself to her and starts a conversation despite Chitose's protests. She states that she will not accept him as Tsukasa's partner in marriage. Surprisingly he shows his good communication skills by saying she's not wrong for thinking that, due to how sudden it all was. But Chitose won't simply accept that and she does the most obvious thing to do in these cases: she kidnaps Nasa.

And so, our (now) determined girl with a snap of her fingers calls a limousine that carries away our poor Nasa to Chitose's villa.

That said, even though I never said what, to begin with, she is classy and won't stoop to torture as there are other better ways to wreck his marriage.

Chitose, more convinced than ever before, with the help of her maids, Aurora and Charlotte wants to get Nasa into an s#x scandal. But when she sees Charlotte (her innocent maid, but maybe not so innocent) taking her new (lewd?) errand way too seriously, her confidence crumbles and after losing time with a confusing chat regarding how her maid should be more hesitant with lewd things, she loses sight of Nasa who flees into the mansion. Hubby, who starts looking for Tsukasa's room, as he assumes she lived there, finally finds one with her smell. A new fetish is awakening in him.

Inside, he notices a glass case with a moonstone and his surprise could only grow when Charlotte appears with a large sword breaking her way into the room and telling him that he isn't allowed in there. She proceeds to start attacking him but, Chitose and Aurora arrive shouting at her to not be so reckless in that room. Unfortunately, she ends up damaging the case with the moonstone in it.

Nasa however quickly manages to fix it, preserving the moonstone and also works out from Chitose's reaction that the stone is definitely real. She tells him that their grand-aunt borrowed it to ease Tsukasa. Upon hearing Nasa's confusion about this she realizes that he doesn't know what Tsukasa is and asks if he knows anything about her past. He answers that he doesn't which causes Chitose to get really angry that her "sister" married someone who knew nothing about her. Charlotte intervenes saying that Nasa did save Tsukasa's moonstone and hugs him as thanks but, Aurora takes this chance to take a picture of them and edits it to make it look indecent.

Just then Tsukasa appears taking the picture and remarking about how "nice" it looks, much to Nasa's shock. Chitose tells her to get a divorce because of how terrible he is. She seems to agree to this telling him to follow her so they can talk it over. Once they leave the room, it becomes clear that they fled instead. Indeed, Tsukasa reveals that she was just pretending so they could escape and if she really was mad things would be much worse for him.

They soon find themselves in an old church built in the Meiji era. Seeing her so bright and happy Nasa realizes what devotion really is. He starts to tell her that; if something good happens to him she'll be the first to know, if something bad happens to her he'll carry the burden with her, they'll share everything, support each other and that he doesn't want her to ever regret choosing him as her husband.

And if this sounds like a proposal, it is because it is one and what better way of sealing it than a kiss after swearing to give her his eternal love.
