MC | Alright, the next situation you're going to act out is… |
| "A way to dodge mother-in-law's cutting remarks well"!! |
| The one who's going to be your partner for this round is by no means this person! |
Azuma | Fufu, pleasure to working with you. |
MC | I'm looking forward to see his performance as mother-in-law~. |
| Now, please welcome our first bride for this round! |
| |
| *applause* |
| That was amazing! Coming from the Kingdom of Zahra, Leila-san managed to receive such a high score with her impressive manner! |
| She's currently taking the top spot! |
Spectator A | It was so beautiful and cool! |
Spectator B | Totally! I don't know whether I was unconsciously enchanted by them, or I just couldn't take my eyes off them! |
Azami | They took a strong interest in Azuma-san's performance… |
Izumi | I expected no less from him… |
MC | Our next bride will be Kurumi Sakisaka-san! |
Azuma | Good luck, Muku. |
Muku | Y-Yes…! |
MC | Well then, start! |
Azuma | "Oh my… do you have a moment, Kurumi-san?" |
Muku | "Y-Yes, mother." |
Azuma | "Isn't the flavor of this miso soup… too strong? You cut the ingredients way too big, and they look messy now." |
Muku | "I-I apologize…! I'll be careful next time…" |
Azuma | "And just letting you know, I feel like you're doing a sloppy job in cleaning the corridor." |
| "There's still dust remaining in the corner. Can you even clean a room?" |
Muku | "My apologies… I'll clean more carefully and thoroughly next time." |
| "I'm… really hopeless when it comes to cleaning and cooking, huh. I truly am just a worthless cloud of dust…" |
| |
MC | Hmmm, even though our bride showed realism in how she felt small under her mother-in-law… |
| Unfortunately, it did not leave a nice impression to the spectators and therefore she didn't receive a good score. |
Muku | --. |
Azami | Muku-san doesn't look too good. |
Izumi | Yeah… I wonder if he's all right… |
| (Leila-san scored much higher in this round. We'll lose if we can't turn the tables in the next round…) |
Citron | … |
Azami | Putting that aside… It's getting darker here all of sudden. |
Izumi | Yeah… I have a bad feeling about this. |
| *rain pours down* |
Azami | Whoa, it's raining. |
Citron | Come here, Director, Azami. You'll get wet. |
MC | Our apologies! Due to the heavy rain, we're going to halt the contest! |
| To all the participants, please exit the stage and go inside the building! |
Izumi | I'm worried about Muku-kun. Let's go meet the others at the dressing room. |
Azami | Yeah. |
| |
Itaru | Seems like it's just a temporary evening rain. We're gonna continue once it stops raining. |
Juza | Okay. |
Muku | ...Sorry! |
| I didn't do well in the last round... so we couldn't get a high score…. |
Itaru | Well, it's fine. There's no way one would not be nervous in a contest. |
Azami | Not to mention Azuma-san's performance as mother-in-law was too realistic. |
Citron | It was truly amazing! |
Azuma | Fufu, I'm so happy to hear that. |
Izumi | But… I do think you don't look too good today, Muku-kun. Did something happen? |
Muku | The truth is… I exchanged some words with Leila-san before going on stage. |
| |
Leila | ...I once went to the Zahra palace during childhood. The palace is just so big I ended up getting lost. |
| At that time, the one who found me, pulled my hand and played with me was… Citronia-sama. |
| After playing in the palace together, he made a beautiful bouquet of Jasmine and gave it to me. |
| I had a lot of fun being with him due to his kindness, and I was so happy when he gave me that bouquet. |
| I just couldn't forget about Citronia-sama even after several years have passed, so I decided to personally announce myself as his fiancee candidate. |
Muku | So that's what happened… |
Leila | In order to become his bride, I've been attending marriage preparation class, but I never had the chance to meet him afterward… |
| Then, Citronia-sama went to Japan. |
| Even though he's now in a faraway country and is no longer in line for the throne, my feelings for him haven't changed. |
| I love Citronia-sama. |
| ...And that is why I'm not going to let you win this battle. |
| Let's fight fair and square. See you. |
Muku | … |
