"Can't you at least say something!" "?" "Next, I would like to introduce homeroom teachers of the 3rd grade." "Homeroom teacher for 3A is Kaga Chiaki-sensei." "Her field is P.E." "Got a boyfriend yet?" "Homeroom teacher for 3B is me, Andou Yukiko." "I'm teaching math." "And I'm also the head-of-grade teacher." "Ganba!" "Ganba!" "Yes, today is ganba as well!" "Home teacher for 3C is Iwazaki Tatsu-sensei." "His field is social." "Next, home teacher for 3D is Saruwatari Makoto-sensei." "His field is science." ""Monkey / sneaky person" (saru) with "passing by" (wataru)." "I'm Saruwatari." "Not funny at all!" "Furthermore we have assistant homeroom teacher of 3D." "His name is Yashiki Tetsuji-sensei, a newly graduated teacher." "His field is japanese language." "Who cares?" "!" "A graduate from our school, Yoshimori Shinya-sensei, has been appointed as assistant homeroom teacher." "Because of certain problem, he is not here today." "What kind of problem?" "And then, I would like to introduce "life guidance" staff." "Head of Life Guidance is Igaue Naoki-sensei." "Are you hungry?" "I'm hungry." "Hey, when did you eat last time?" "What's wrong with you...." ""I had my breakfast at the inn"" "Damn it!" "Go home, shitty boy!" "Bastard, he sure sleeps with adorable face." "Hello, here is Yoichi high school." "Huh?" "Hello?" "Arghhh, that swine!" "Hey you!" "Wait!" "Hey!" "Uryaaa!" "What happened?" "The phone got cut off, but the caller sounded like Yoshimori." "What is he doing now?" "!" "Oh you're alive." "That's good." "That's good." "Let's go." "Maybe he mistook us for dead bodies." "Do you really have no money?" "Don't have any." "Is there someone so stupid running away, without bringing any money?" "Well then, why did you go after me without your wallet?" "Stupid!" "Argghh, stop it, stop it!" "I'm already hungry." "You started it, right?" "Damn it, we will die if we do nothing." "What happened?" "What happened?" "I...." "I....miss my mother." "Whoahahaha you did well!" "I wonder if it's ok." "It's ok!" "It can make us warm!" "It is police's job to help righteous citizen, right?" "What are you doing?" "Don't worry, don't worry." "How could a teacher do such thing?" "I've let you waiting." "In my opinion, everyone, who likes ushidon (beef bowl), are good guys." "Look around... no bad guy, right?" "Yess, I'm healthy again today." "Ushidon is delicious." "One more medium portion!" "Add an egg too!" "Ok!" "Is it enough for you?" "Well then, I'm going now." "Huh?" "Where to?" "I'll go alone now." "Until today I've been alone, so now I'll also go alone." "Nothing changed!" "So, is it good if nothing changes?" "Is there nothing I can do?" "What about the food's cost here?" "Pay it with this." "Don't be concerned about me anymore." "I'm begging you." "Please let me go alone." "Wait a minute!" "Here..." "Yes, thank you very much!" "Hey, waittt!" "Waittt!" "Heyy!" "Wait!" "Heyy, can't you wait?" "Take this with you!" "What?" "Your money, take it." "I don't need it." "Service for greenhorn, take the coupon too." "Ok!" "Don't need it." "Saying such thing means you're small-minded." "Spend the money carefully, ok?" "Here take it with you." "That's right." "When Tooru-kun comes back, please talk with him seriously." "This is a battle." "I understand." "But..." "Up to now you're leaving this matter untouched." "Does anything good come out of it?" "That's..." "What you need to prepare is determination." "Not love...that's what I think." "No matter how much it annoys you, or how much you detest it, please talk with him properly." "You love your son, right?" "I don't know." "I knew it, you're the right person to make this phone call." "If it's me, I would have been yelling all the time." "But I didn't really know how to change her mind." "Both the mother and the son surely have a lot of problems." "But that boy, I wonder if he is alright." "How far did you go with Yoshimori, when he ran away?" "That's an old story, please don't talk about it." "If my memory is correct you went until Osaka and, ate takoyaki." "It's ganba, running continuously, wasn't it?" "Then you brought him back, didn't you?" "I forgot." "The way Yoshimori does thing, Tooru will surely come back." "If so, then all is fine." "Don't worry!" "He was your disciple, wasn't he?" "What the..." ""Come back!" "I'm waiting here."" "I'll pass out some papers." "Kaede!" "Go back to your seat!" "Ok!" "Well then, read it now." "Start to read silently!" "Sensei, what happened with assistant homeroom teacher, Yoshimori-sensei?" "Why?" "I heard, he's running after Kanno Tooru." "And didn't come back." "What's wrong?" "Huh?" "Ohh don't worry about it." "By the way, when they come back, welcome them without asking any question." "To all new students, my class is always like this." "Each time I will give out some papers." "Today's subject is trying to give examples of freedom of idea." "Can someone give an example?" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Akane!" "Sausage bread 180 Yen." "Eraser 50 Yen." "Don't cheat!" "Put the money into that box!" "Did you put it in?" "Do it properly, ok?" "I beg you." "The shop makes a lot of income, doesn't it?" "Did Yoshimori make a call to the inn?" "No, he didn't." "We don't ask everyone to call us every day, they are not jewels." "One can say so." "Thank you." "Welcome." "He's not here, is he?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Heyy!" "Welcome." "Were you waiting for this person?" "Yes." "If you wait, you will meet, right?" "Alright!" "Why?" "Huh?" "Why did you write it there?" "I could have missed it." "It's ok, if you didn't use your eyes." "I am waiting." "It's the only thing I could do anyway." "Cold, isn't it?" "No." "Special one!" "Warm tea too, quickly." "Well, sit down." "Sit down." "Where did you go?" "So dirty." "Here it is." "Eat it." "Here, red pickled ginger." "Here." "One week ago..." "I went back to my hometown..." "I was 19 when I crossed the sea to become 3rd grade student at Yoichi." "I drank sake for the first time with my father, whom I never saw since that day." "Then I asked him..." "When I went to Yoichi high school in Hokkaido," "What was on your mind?" "He said..." ""I was happy"" ""Finally the hard time will pass"." ""If you're gone, I will not be called by the police again"" ""The family doesn't have to endure your violence anymore"." ""I can finally sleep well"." "When I heard those words, I was really happy." "For the first time I heard his sincere words." "He is not someone, who easily shows his weakness." "Even while drunk, that's the first time he treated his son as equal." "For my father and also for me," "It surely took a long time, till we could talk like that." "Let's go back to Yoichi with me." "You know..." "My parents..." "Even if they divorce today, it won't seem strange at all." "But it will definitely never happen." "Because it will ruin my dad's job." "They're using me as excuse." "They said, they won't divorce until I've grown up." "For three years..." "I shut myself off behind the locked door of my room." "I also did terrible things within the household." "Like kicking burning gas heater." "Me..." "My parents..." "I thought, it'd be excellent if we all died that way." "My father brought up the topic about studying in Yoichi." "It's good there... he said." "For the first time, my mother looked relieved." "But..." "After that, my father made a request while bowing." ""Won't you change your surname?"" ""As it is now, Ujiie Tooru"" ""Going to Hokkaido?"" "Somehow someone leaked the information to the public." "And my father's job was in danger." "He asked me to change my name." "And be adopted into my mother's family." "And my name simply became Kanno Tooru." "I see." "I thought, let him do whatever he wants." "But..." "In the inn..." "When someone called me Kanno." "Thinking that I will be living with this fake name forever..." "I threw a chair." "From now on, I will always call you Ujiie Tooru." "From today onwards you will make a fresh start, and bring yourself up." "This is my bokou (alma mater)." "Alma Mater..." "I've been reborn here." "Whether the same thing will happen to you or not, I don't know." "But, it's worth it to try." "Why didn't you keep in touch?" "You must have thought, you will get praised?" "Too bad..." "Come to gymnasium." "No need to change your clothes." "Huh?" "!" "Come quickly!" "Now we will hold entrance ceremony of Yoichi highschool year 2003." "We'll begin with congratulations speech from the principal." "Tooru-kun..." "Congratulation!" "Today is for you a starting (new life) day." "We had the intention to celebrate this day together." "Even that you are alone, it is our opinion, that this day should become a special day for you." "Congratulation for being admitted into this school." "Well then, Tooru-kun, Yoshimori-sensei, could you please say a word or two?" "Mic test, mic test." "Just say what you think." "Ujiie Tooru will speak first." "My name is Ujiie Tooru." "Noone... can ever be trusted, I thought." "And I still believe that." "But..." "Maybe that's not true..." "That's what I'm starting to think now." "I'm Yoshimori Shinya." "Noone... can ever be trusted, I thought." "That's 10 years ago." "Now..." "I think, trusting someone is the only thing I can do." "Well then the ceremony has been concluded perfectly." "Now I will give out the punishment." "Pu..pu..punishment?" "What kind of punishment?" "Yoshimori-sensei and Ujiie-kun, both of you will receive house arrest for one week." "House arrest!" "?" "Me too?" "Ujiie-kun for violence action in the inn and running away." "Yoshimori-sensei was not informing the school, while conducting a student." "That's the reason." "No." "I did make a phone call, but my money..." "I heard, you borrowed money from the police, right?" "I also heard a report of your bad behaviour." "Oh no..." "Of course you have to immediately pay back that 10,000 Yen and also to the bus company..." "Yes." "You don't have to show up at school, but as exchange." "You have to work for a week in the building for "house arrest"." "Building for "house arrest" ?" "No!" "Wait a minute please." "This is already decided in the staff meeting." "I don't accept any question." "That is all!" "They even put me into house arrest." "This is all your fault, you hear me?" "That's a false accusation." "Aarghhh, shit!" "Damn it!" "Maybe you are cursed by the cows, because you've eaten a lot of ushidon (beef bowl)." "Don't say something stupid." "Idle chatting?" "It seems you have free time." "Time for more work then." "What the hell?" "He can hear that." "I said it loudly, so he could hear me." "Give this to all cows, after that clean the flour mill." "If you don't finish these tasks before 2pm," "Then go milk the cows without lunch." "If you want to complain, then tell my superior." "Sensei." "Arghh I quit!" "I quit!" "I'm hungry!" "This is not funny!" "Baka..." "What are you doing?" "I've quit smoking." "Huh?" "Didn't you say you quit smoking at 18?" "Sensei." "If we don't do it quickly, we'll have to skip lunch." "Sensei." "All right!" "Here I go!" "Timed and translated by acau"
