Tập 87: Hiểu lầm về việc Asuna mang thai chó dẫn đến lễ đính hôn của Mitaka

87

As Mitaka arrives in Izu he clumsily asks Asuna what happened between the two of them at his apartment. She reassures him and he's grateful to learn he didn't do anything too uncouth. Back in Tokyo however Asuna's mother learns from Kimita that Asuna spent the night with Mitaka, and is furious to learn that her daughter is now 'damaged goods.' Asuna clarifies what happened much to her mother's delight. Outside Asuna is approached by the family veterinarian who tells her that Salad is pregnant. Asuna is overjoyed and rushes to the tennis courts to tell Mitaka. However, her explanation is unclear and Shun (and everyone else on the courts) think that Asuna is pregnant. Mrs. Ichinose goes back to Maison Ikkoku to tell Kyoko the news while Shun is beyond depressed and realizes that he has no choice but to marry Asuna now. Not knowing what else to do he visits Kyoko at Ikkoku and the pair end up sitting quietly on a hill. Mitaka tells her goodbye and Kyoko tells him that she hopes he'll be happy. The parting is sad, especially for Mitaka who feels lost and trapped. A few days later at his engagement ceremony with Asuna, he learns the truth about the pregnancy and is devastated. Word spreads quickly that Asuna is not pregnant, but her dog Salade and by now it is too late, Shun is already officially engaged to be married. On the tennis courts Mitaka and Kyoko continue to see each other and she nervously tells him that she still hopes he'll find some way to be happy. (Source: Wikipedia)
