A Bride for Rip Van Winkle Page #2

Synopsis: Nanami is an apathetic, part-time junior high school teacher, whose only solace comes from connecting with others on "Planet", a new social network service. One day, a young man named Tetsuya messages her and asks to meet in person. The two begin dating and quickly become engaged. When Testuya begs Nanami to increase her guest list for the wedding, Nanami reaches out to online-friend, Amuro, a self-proclaimed jack-of-all-trades, who hires actors to play Nanami's guests on her big day. A few weeks following the ceremony, Tetsuya's mother confronts Nanami with allegations of lying and cheating. Heartbroken and despondent, Nanami checks herself into a hotel and manages to get hired there as a maid. One day, Amuro offers Nanami a housekeeping job in an old mansion, whose sole resident's infectious spirit helps Nanami to open her heart. However, Nanami soon realizes that Amuro, the mansion, and its occupant aren't what they seem - and even dreams have limits.

We just have to last until the wedding is over.

A couple for appearance's sake.

Even though we couldn't be further from it.

I'm sorry for all the trouble.

Don't mention it.

The two of us didn't work out...

...but I know you'll be fine.

How do you know that?

I don't.

But you know...

...I want you to be happy.

Especially you.

The same goes for your mother.

Because despite everything,

we're still your parents.

Come on, taxi!

Two people?

No one else?

We're not close with our relatives.

Why not?

No particular reason.

There's a ceremony for relatives.

The numbers can't be too lopsided.

We'll cut down on my side.

But seriously though, isn't there anyone else?

You can't tell me it's only two people.

It's embarrassing.

Can't you do something?

I also decided to quit teaching.

What?

Your mother was against it...

...and I'm not sure I can

balance home and work.

You thought this through, right?

Why didn't you ask me?

I'm sorry.

Weddings are so depressing.

I need more relatives.

He says he's inviting 20 people.

Wedding attendees can be...

...fakes?

Are you serious?

What?

Nothing.

You hire them.

I know an organizer who does this.

Are you interested?

Isn't it dangerous?

It's legit. I guarantee it.

Mr. Ramba Ral...

A guarantee...

What can I do with a guarantee?

Wait!

Congratulations!

- These are for you!

Let's take some pictures.

I'm next to her!

No, I want to...

Say cheese!

Instead of being fired,

I said it was my engagement.

Do you think this is a white lie?

Please be well!

Thank you.

Goodbye, everyone.

Bye!

Excuse me...

Oh, hello.

I'm Nanami.

Please, sit down.

Excuse me! Could we get the menu?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll be using this name today.

- Mr. Amuro?

- Yes.

Yukimasu Amuro of Amuro Ltd.

And truth be told, I'm also an actor.

- An actor?

- That's right.

Raizo lchikawa.

Yes.

Wasn't there already an actor by this name?

I borrowed it.

And now, I'm the 2nd generation.

For an actor, your real name doesn't matter.

Until the job is finished,

the role is who you are.

So you can have an infinite number of names.

The same goes for you too, right?

No, I don't.

But what about "Clammbon"?

By that, I guess everyone has a lot of names.

That's right.

But today I'm not "Raizo lchikawa"...

...but "Yukimasu Amuro."

Pleased to meet you.

What sort of company is Amuro Ltd.?

A jack of all trades.

We do anything.

That is, anything I can.

- Let me first explain our services.

- Yes, please.

Please refer to our company as "Aznable".

The basic package of ceremony

attendance is $80/day.

Additional speeches are $50.

Entertainers for $50, and telegrams for $30.
