"The Dying Swan" "Keep Out" "Totoo, wait up!" "Where are you going?" "!" "Oh no, poor bird..." "He is still alive, let me give him treatment." "I'm glad he is doing well." "But why was he there...?" "Totoo, no!" "He only eats bird food." "Touch." "Do you know about swans?" "They're migratory birds, during winter they fly from Siberia to Japan." "There are a lot of swans here in Ice Lake at the moment." "In recent years however, because of the polluted local rivers and lakes there are less and less swans every year." "I see...he is one of the migratory birds, eh?" "He got lost perhaps." "Oh, then if he grows up, he might be able to find his fellows!" "Melmo, you're being nosey again, eh?" "How pretty!" "He is a swan!" "Beautiful!" "Now you can go back to your family right?" "Say hi to your friends for me." "Take care!" "The swan from earlier...!" "He is hurt...!" "How awful..." "look at the sky!" "The sky in the cities is polluted." "It's all the human's fault." "This is why you couldn't fly..." "I'll guide you somewhere safe." "Eat these." "Hey, Shiba." "Ah." "Shoot, run!" "Ah...!" "Thief!" "What's wrong?" "There are thieves, they took my bag." "What?" "!" "Wait!" "Give me back my swan!" "Let's just take whatever is inside and run." "What is this...?" "!" "Shoot, they're coming after us!" "Let's make a boiled egg, shall we?" "There they are!" "Wait!" "I'm not going to let you go!" "Where is my bag?" "We didn't mean no harm, it's in the bathroom." "Where is the egg?" "My partner said he would make a boiled egg." "Eh?" "!" "Boiled egg?" "!" "How pathetic, I can only get something like this from robbery." "Bro!" "My egg..." "My swan is dead..." "Erm, your egg might be this one...?" "My egg...!" "I was told to boil this one, but I just gave him the one already cooked." "I'm so relieved..." "I've heard there are swans around here?" "Yeah, they're at North Lake." "Thanks!" "It's close!" "Where is my bag!" "Must be cats." "Where are they!" "I need to find it before it gets eaten..." "Hey!" "Wait up!" "What's inside might be safe." "Please come back to life." "He has a blue pattern!" "But I'm glad he is okay..." "Stop!" "What's going on?" "How dare you shoot swans?" "!" "How could you do that?" "!" "It's prohibited!" "It's none of your business, kid." "Birds are living things as well, you know!" "If you're going to shoot them, I'll call the police!" "What an annoying kid..." "Who are you?" "Is this North Lake here?" "Right over there." "I've brought a swan." "Swan..." "He's got a different colour to him." "But he really is a swan." "Can I let him go somewhere here?" "Sure, but swans have a strong feeling of fellowship..." "Swans!" "You should go join them." "Don't be mean!" "They won't let you join them because you have a different pattern on you..." "It's my fault..." "Don't worry." "I'll take care of him." "For sure?" "Yup." "We've brought some food!" "Idiot, that's the river!" "Come on!" "Can you give the swan some food?" "These are my friends from the Swan Study Association from school." "Count on us, he's going to be ok." "Hey, swans, come on here!" "That's a very rare one." "(Kids excited)" "I'll bring you more food." "I hope you won't be bullied by others." "Wait here." "Oh no, he is gone!" "That swan disappeared suddenly!" "Really?" "What's going on?" "Get off!" "Ah!" "Get off me, ouch!" "Shoot, they were still here?" "!" "Ouch!" "There!" "Get them!" "Yeah!" "Swan...!" "Don't let them go!" "Now!" "Yeah!" "Have you had enough?" "Swans..." "I'm glad he recovered well." "And it seems, he is going to get along with the others as well." "They're coming back next year?" "Yes they are." "They'll be back having him as their leader!" "Goodbye swans!" "Everyone, think about this for a bit;" "which is better when you're alone or when you're with your friends?" "Right." "You prefer being with friends, right?" "There is a time when animals or even plants spend their time with their fellows." "To help each other, to encourage each other." "And they fall in love and get married." "Be quiet!" "This is not something embarrassing or anything." "So this is why the one who is always alone must be either anti-social or have different way of thinking." "Perhaps there is no such person in our class." "Teacher." "I'm always alone." "I have no time to talk with friends." "How many times do I have to tell you this?" "!" "(In Mandarin) Hello... goodbye." "Oh, no!" "Yes, how are you?" "Computers are a must have for your education in recent years..." "If you flip a Triangular prism this way, it will be the shape of a rectangular." "Ni hao... 10pm, English class." "10:50pm, Chinese class." "11:40pm Computer class." "And then..." "Oh no, he has no time to play!" "Yeah, I'm a migratory bird flying from one class to another." "Are you okay with this, Komori-kun?" "It's an order from my mom." "She wants me to go to a well-known school." "Yeah, well-known schools are so competitive." "But this is too much for him." "Then I shouldn't invite him for tomorrow..." "Here is Komori-kun's house, huh?" "Ok, ready to go." "Oh, Melmo's mother?" "What's the matter?" "I just wanted to ask you something about your son, Kontaro." "Did he do anything wrong?" "Melmo says Kontaro doesn't seem to be alright these days." "Is he doing okay?" "Yes, he is doing totally fine." "He just took a health screening as well." "But not only his health, I care about a lot of other things aswell." "To be able to get into the best middle school, high school, college... then to work at the best company, I'm teaching him a variety of different things." "But he is only an elementary school student..." "It's none of your business how I educate my son." "This mother is more difficult than I expected..." "Watari." "I was waiting for you." "I want you to help me with something." "No..." "I can't come play with you." "Today's schedule is..." "Let me see!" "Why do you do this to me?" "!" "I don't know what time I'm supposed to go to my class without my planner!" "Give it back to me!" "Komori is coming soon." "But he is..." "Isn't he going to his class?" "Nope, leave it to me to bring him here!" "Watari!" "Watari!" "Come here, hurry!" "What do you mean by hurry!" "You're horrible!" "Ouch." "He's here!" "The kids from the neighboring town!" "Kontaro is in danger!" "Come on!" "What's going on?" "It's a war!" "War?" "The kids from the neighboring town want to take over this hill to play!" "We're protecting our playground." "There is no playground as good as here!" "You guys even made traps!" "You...!" "Oh look, the kids from the neighbouring town..." "They're running away!" "We have won!" "We protected our hill!" "Hurrah hurrah hurrah hurrah!" "We did it!" "What were you thinking?" "!" "You interrupted Konrato's studies!" "I don't mind you playing around, but my son needs to get into the best middle school, then best high school..." "Calm down, Komori-san." "She seems to understand what she has done, so perhaps we call it a day." "Eh, the students are taking to the barricades?" "Yes, I don't know what's going on, but everyone seems to be so angry..." "No forced-education!" "Less homework!" "No forced-education!" "Let's try until adults understand!" "Yes!" "No!" "No!" "What's going on..." "If the Parent-Teacher Association finds out about this... we'll be in trouble." "Tezuka-sensei, stop them immediately!" "Yes..." "Stop, guys!" "You kids shouldn't do this!" "Go home..." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Ah help!" "No, principal, I can't handle this!" "What are you talking about?" "Those are just the balls for the sports festival." "Please teachers from other classes help Tezuka-sensei!" "I can't allow this to happen within school campus!" "Let us have more time to play!" "Yes!" "You teachers give us too much homework!" "Yes!" "Hey, they're coming again." "More teachers!" "It doesn't matter how many." "We can handle this!" "No, it's not working anymore..." "Okay, then plan B!" "Yeah!" "Start!" "Ahhhh..." "Now on to plan C!" "Ready, go!" "What is this powder?" "This is..chalk...!" "It's chalk powder!" "Oh I see." "They're pretty clever." "Tezuka-sensei, this is not the time to give them compliment." "Anyway, let's come back later." "Guys, all the teachers are leaving!" "No forced education!" "No forced education!" "I wonder what the teachers are doing..." "Maybe they're done eating dinner at home, and watching TV by now." "I'm getting hungry, too..." "Maybe we should call it a day." "Let's just come back tomorrow." "Yeah." "No, what are you talking about?" "We can't stop until all moms understand our needs!" "You guys all said that, too!" "You didn't want to study so much that you have no time to play!" "Isn't that right, Komori-kun?" "Hmm..." "See?" "Everyone, cheer up and hang in there!" "What's wrong?" "Hiroshi!" "Masako!" "Harue!" "Kazuko!" "My dad, he came back from work!" "My mom!" "Mom!" "Kenichi!" "Naomi!" "Tadashi!" "Akira!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom, dad!" "Happily ever after, eh?" "It was a good decision to call in the parents, eh?" "But thinking about this, perhaps the educational system nowadays is questionable... it made even kids take to the barricades to speak up." "Perhaps we educators need to reflect on what has happened." "I'm sorry, I know you tried so hard for me." "But..." "No, that's fine." "You want to go back to your mom, too, right?" "Go then!" "Just go to the best middle school, high school, then college, then get into the best company, as you wish!" "Watari, I enjoyed the war yesterday." "It's good to have friends." "Komori-kun..." "Totoo." "You're here to pick me up?" "Touch as well." "Doctor Waregarasu!" "Idiot, what a tomboy!" "Don't you understand that" "Totoo and Touch get worried if you don't come home till this late?" "Totoo, Touch, I'm sorry." "I won't make you two worry ever again." "I hope so." "Anyways, let's go home." "It's too cold here." "Wait up, doc!" "Hold on please!"
