They successfully arrange a marriage with a lovely mouse named Hatsuka, and much care is taken on both sides to prepare for the union, including traditional customs such as the exchange of gifts and the ceremonial drinking of sake. The wedding day is meticulously organized, culminating in the bride's arrival and the joyful marriage ceremony. Following their union, the couple lives harmoniously with Kanemochi's family, embodying the values of contentment and good fortune within their domestic life.
