"and we ended up just waiting to be expelled. or even any sorrow at this point." "All of our spirits had been utterly broken. we can kill two birds with one stone!" "With one exception." "how?" "That's okay." "Gakuto." "Great idea." "my chums!" "Let us relieve ourselves! and you are free to use it!" "His spirit wasn't so much broken as it was demolished... haven't they?" "it's almost anticlimactic." "we will finally purge the school of this scum." "Won't that be refreshing?" "ma'am." "dare to escape let's get away prison" "Reach out and grab your freedom dig a tunnel" "Jai-jai-jai-jai jailbreak prison" "Get out from under their rule" "(Judge) What can you do" "(Innocent) once you get free?" "(Judge) I can be in love" "(Guilty) with the one I adore" "(Prison) But once you're in love" "(Breakout) you bind and are bound" "You wind up a warden it's a prison a prison of love except a prison of love there is no escape a prison of love" "No matter how far you run the world is a boundless love-- the heart is an endless love- -prison" "It's a Bum-derful Life" "The boys' food." "Thank you." "The day after next... and your expulsion will be formally concluded. they once allowed condemned prisoners to choose their last meal." "the day after tomorrow will be your execution day." "tell me what you'd like to eat." "I'd like hamburger." "Steak." "I'll take katsudon." "I'll stick with my regular menu." "what about you?" "Yours truly would like to eat deep-fried grasshoppers over rice!" "it goes without saying." "Very well." "Approved." "Approved?" "!" "is it okay if I change my order?" "To what? I'd like Madam Vice President to spit on me." "Anything other than food items denied." "That is all." "huh?" "there's no way you're okay. and please place your message inside it." "Chiyo-chan..." "What a great girl." "too." "I spied that." "Chums!" "Kiyoshi-dono has received a note from a girl!" "So?" "What's the harm?" "Mm-hmm." "This is all over anyways..." "Over?" "That certainly is true." "after all." "Huh?" "I see our means of escape!" "tell me you're intentionally pretending to go nuts." "right?" "That's cool." "Hurry and tell us what the plan is!" "and get out that way!" "I'll go with the soup!" "You mix in with the bread crumbs!" "gentlemen!" "Let us escape with haste from this world of oppression!" "That's Gakuto for you." "Incredible." "Brilliant idea." "huh?" "thanks." "And now farewell." "thanks." "farewell." "Are Kiyoshi-kun and the others really getting expelled tomorrow?" "Here are your last suppers." "Eat them with gratitude." "Awesome!" "This looks delicious." "to be sure!" "are you seriously planning to eat that?" "Come back to your senses!" "Those are grasshoppers!" "You really shouldn't eat that." "Won't you upset your stomach?" "Shaddup!" "Don't touch my grasshoppers!" "I get it!" "You're all out to take away yours truly's delicious dinner!" "If that's your game..." "Come at me like you mean to kill me!" "Knock it off!" "Shut up and eat!" "I've never had meat this tender before." "this is good." "It's great to be able to eat whatever you like." "Huh?" "Another missive without any future?" "what a horny toad of a prisoner you are!" "are you okay?" "Just how devastating was that?" "I just had... a flash...!" "I just had a way to escape come to me in a flash!" "are we going to ride your grasshoppers out of here?" "This is no time for you to be so ridiculous!" "Hurry up and finish your meals." "What sort of disgusting food is this?" "right?" "Grasshoppers?" "!" "What are they doing in here?" "!" "How mean!" "This is someone's idea of a dirty trick!" "didn't you?" "I do not recall saying that!" "you're..." "You're back in your right mind?" "!" "nothing." "Why is yours truly the only one with this eccentric fare?" "didn't you?" "! I thought of something-- One last means of escape." "Chairman?" "I had some miscellaneous business left over... here." "you say?" "Miscellaneous business... yes!" "very well." "Tomorrow is the day that I tell that schoolyard scum that they are expelled." "Please do not delay in processing your duties." "I will do... so." "could I ask you to no longer do your "miscellaneous business" at school?" "It's disgusting." "Please excuse me." "don't..." "I?" "gentlemen!" "you are so astonished at yours truly's brilliant plan that it appears to have left you speechless." "it's not that." "Hmm?" "that's crazy." "We do it in full knowledge that it is crazy!" "we're all going to be expelled!" "Huh?" "What?" "Do you mean that that many days have already elapsed?" "this plan needs two more days!" "What do we do?" "That's what we'd like to know! then this plan is impossible." "Suppertime is over." "There's something I want you to fill out now." "Withdrawal Request" "Your withdrawal requests." "this school will be quiet again." "Don't tell me... she's going to miss us after we're gone...?" "that will be a relief." "She is quivering all over." "Does this mean she will miss us when we are gone?" "wipe away those tears." "Madam Vice President." "you..." "Do not waste food!" "you scum!" "but I was completely wrong." "Gakuto?" "Of course it is not okay." "There's no time for rest." "Let's put your plan into action." "It is impossible." "Yours truly's plan will require more time." "We'll manage something." "Something like what?" "We are all out of options." "We'll write out an appeal to the chairman." "To the chairman?" "Yeah." "We'll attach an appeal along with our withdrawal forms." "If we plead that the Underground Student Council set this "DTO" trap for us..." "Yes... it might buy us a few days while he investigates." "If we're given a reprieve... we might obtain the DTO evidence with Gakuto-kun's plan." "But isn't it a little thin to pin our hopes on?" "Shingo!" "We can't afford to leave this school just yet!" "At least not until summer and the wet T-shirt contest!" "We can't give up!" "Or don't you want to see nipples through wet T-shirts?" "don't you know?" "!" "I can't hear you!" "What do you want to see?" "!" "Nipples!" "Pointy nipples through wet T-shirts!" "I wanna see them so bad!" "don't give up hope until the very end!" "Hmm..." "Eryngii Mushrooms" "It feels like I've forgotten something." "that one day..." "What was it?" "It seems like it was something that can't be undone... scum?" "ma'am." "Withdrawal Request" "Appeal" "What is this?" "It's an appeal." "you say? but we wanted the chairman to read how sorry we were." "Please!" "They are our final feelings on the matter!" "when you know it won't do any good." "I'll allow it." "Thank you very much!" "It's late." "no one is coming." "Are we really going to be expelled today? and comes down here." "Maybe it really is hopeless." "It's all right." "I'm sure he read it." "Then why isn't the chairman coming down here?" "I..." "The vice president!" "Which means... you are to be expelled today." "out of the prison." "I order you to go collect all of your belongings that are still in the dorms." "This is your last task." "I don't want any trace-- so much as a single hair-- to remain here." "Appeal" "I-Is that...?" "Madam Vice President-dono!" "How could you tear up our appeal?" "!" "This is beyond cruel!" "I thought you agreed!" "No talking!" "Keep quiet and walk!" "Those boys are being expelled today." "I guess I won't get to pay that idiot Kiyoshi back after all." "I'll make do with punching him in the stomach." "too." "But why...?" "Almost there..." "It all ends now." "these really are your "Thirteen Steps." "Do you have any last words?" "Why don't you let me be the one to hear any of their last words?" "!" "Chairman!" "What is the chairman doing here?" "I know I tore up their appeal." "What did you do?" "let's return to the prison." "I need to have a word with you." "Can I get a cup of tea?" "!" "yes." "Why did the chairman come down here?" "I am unaware." "The vice president tore up our appeal." "Why those rotten..." "Just how did they do it?" "A dummy." "A dummy?" "Yeah." "That appeal that we wrote was a dummy." "I put the real contender into my withdrawal request. and not closely check the withdrawal requests." "You are a genius!" "That's just like the ploy used by the famous strategist Pang Tong at the Battle of Red Cliffs!" "but you're probably right." "what did you write on your withdrawal request?" "I..." "I received your message." "But let me come right out and say this-- intimidation is something I do not give in... to!" "Intimidation?" "!" "it's something that the chairman is trying to hide." "I know about the hidden treasure you buried behind the school." "I had to use what I saw back then in order to call the chairman out." "It's my trump card to get the chairman to postpone our expulsions." "I can't hear them from here!" "Hana...?" "Where is he?" "Kiyoshi!" "Where is he?" "!" "You misunderstand." "I didn't think you would hear us out unless I mentioned that." "We really were set up by the Underground Student Council." "I already heard about this." "is... there?" "not yet." "But... we can find the proof!" "I see." "You want more time to gather your evidence." "you seek to have your expulsions postponed... right?" "then..." "Buttocks or breasts-- which do you pre... fer?" "you ask?" "Buttocks and breasts... yes!" "yours truly would say boob-- would you let me field this one?" "Kiyoshi-dono... the chairman is testing us." "Remember!" "I know it had to be..." "Yeah!" "It was..." "The buttocks are what we like best!" "we are of the same... mind." "Allow me to share with you one of my life's mottos." "Nobody who is an ass man can be all bad!" "I was right!" "right?" "I still cannot approve it... yet." "I do not yet know if you really are ass men... you see." "Why did you choose... butts?" "A true ass man would be able to answer." "but instead... butts?" "Is this one answer going to determine our whole lives?" "This is almost like... ..the riddle of the Sphinx!" "and three legs in the evening?" "That one?" "Yes." "And legend says that those who did not answer correctly were killed and eaten by the Sphinx!" "Our answer is also going to determine whether or not we're expelled! we get to survive!" "Oh... you're so right!" "I was just thinking the same thing." "we might pull this off!" "you... can't. common-denominator answers mean nothing." "The reason why the desires within you spring forth-- that is what I wish to hear from you." "you're the one who said you liked them." "You be the one to answer... me!" "Hana!" "right?" "!" "Hold on!" "Get rid of that dangerous knife!" "What on earth happened?" "!" "you see..." "His... and my... you know... then take my own life! the Underground Student Council's position will be in jeopardy!" "Hana." "Now then..." "It's no use! after all!" "I can say any number of good things about boobs." "They have nipples!" "They make milk!" "They're far and away softer than butts!" "I can't find any reasons why butts are better than boobs!" "The answer that the hero Oedipus gave to the Sphinx's riddle was "man." "they are babies crawling around. giving them three legs." "Oedipus!" "but could you keep quiet for a minute?" "I can't afford to listen to your vast knowledge right now." "Ah!" "I'm sorry!" "Hold on." "Am I wrong to be overthinking it?" "Yeah!" "There's no reason why you like something! can't I?" "!" "Would it be okay if I offered you a slight... hint? and I have been disappointed by many people." "By the answer that "There is no basis for why someone likes a thing." "No reason." "Meiyou liyou." "Not to mention the George Mallory-inspired "Because the butt is there. it is nothing more than an evasive answer." "don't you?" "It's no use..." "I can't come up with anything..." "A butt...?" "Why is there a butt in the window?" "wait!" "I'm wrong!" "Those are..." "Boobs!" "The vice president's ass-like boobs!" "What in the world are they talking about in there?" "They're so similar... and the evolution of mankind..." "They're so similar..." "Boobs and butts..." "That's it!" "Boobs..." "Boobs...!" "Mankind... we always had in front of us... the butt. what appeared in front of our faces... were boobs!" "to take the place of buttocks." "The original source of life is the buttocks!" "Boobs are just a substitute!" "Boobs are nothing more than a pale imitation of the buttocks! I would choose the original! keeping the buttocks further back and to the rear hidden!" "that is where the grace of the Eros of the buttocks is" "That's enough." "You have more than conveyed to me that you are a true ass man." "kindred spirit of mine." "does that mean... nobody who is an ass man can be all bad." "Your expulsion will be post... poned." "What was that?" "the maximum reprieve that I can give you is one... day." "That is much too brief!" "If we could at least have three days...!" "it is possible for him to accomplish a thing in one... day." "Chairman?" "I have decided that there is room to question whether their expulsion is justified... or not." "Their expulsion is a matter of course!" "What are you trying to do now?" "but for me." "Unless a one-day extension somehow creates a problem... for you?" "if you'll excuse... me." "thank you very much." "Madam Vice President." "Wha--?" "but only a single day?" "This is no time to be depressed." "we were moments from execution." "we can see a light shining forth. but we now have our foot in the door of a way to get out of this." "Kiyoshi-dono..." "You're absolutely right." "All right." "What lies beyond that light is our future." "As well as the wet T-shirt contest!" "This is no time to be down in the dumps!" "Mm-hmm! and see that it succeeds!" "Yeah!" "How did they get postponed?" "!" "Why did the prisoners offer you their thanks?" "!" "I do not know." "You don't know?" "didn't you?" "Well... the chairman and the boys' conversation was mostly... that is they were talking about butts." "it is just one day." "We will not let them do anything." "Would you please allow me to handle their final day?" "I won't let that scum pull anything." "Falling in love with someone is a trap programmed into our genes" "Our desires have already gotten underway" "Lots of things happen day to day" "Lots of things happen in innocence" "They wrench our hearts as we grapple with them let me touch your heart" "Pry it open and punish me even more we submissively fall in love" "Fight!" "We want to have you" "We want to know everything" "Grant us permission for our dreams" "We don't need any love give us some" "You can't put handcuffs on adolescence" "Next time on Prison School:" "Eryngii Brockovich" "Eryngii Brockovich"
