"A long time ago," "A queen of one country was gazing snow outside the window and wished for a daughter with skin white as snow and lips rosy as apple." "Soon after that, a baby was born just like her wish." "She named the baby Snow White." "But the queen died of heavy illness." "Another woman in line became the next queen, but this queen thought she was the most beautiful one in the world." "Let's Bully Snow White" "As you all know, school anniversary is getting near." "So, like always, we are holding a school festival for the anniversary." "Our class will perform the story of Snow White." "So I'd like all of you to decide on roles." "How should we do it?" "Teacher!" "Snow White is the most beautiful princess in the world, right?" "So I think the most beautiful one should be chosen for that role." "Is there such girl?" "I am the one." "If you were to be considered beautiful, then every girl in this class could become Snow White." "Any other opinion?" "Yes!" "Since it's an important role for the story," "I don't think everyone can play it." "I think someone with acting talent should do it." "By "someone with acting talent", who do you mean?" "It's me." "My mom told me I have talents." "Whatever." "Shut up." "What does your mom say?" "She told me that I'm meant to be a celebrity." "I have 10 tutors to help me learn how to play the piano, dance, sing, etc." "Teachers also call me genius." "Do you understand?" "So I have to be the one to take the role of Snow White." "That won't work!" "There might be other people who want to be Snow White!" "I agree with Hitomi." "I think everyone should vote on this." "That's a good idea." "How do you guys think?" "Okay!" "Then, think about person you'd like to choose until the next class begins." "Hey, I have something to tell you." "What is it?" "Have you decided on who to vote for?" "I'm still thinking." "Don't you want this toy?" "I want it!" "I'll give it to you." "However, there is a condition to it." "Vote me for Snow White." "Then, I will give this to you." "You are going to give it to us for sure, right?" "Of course!" "But that's not fair for Nitako!" "This is not right." "What, you don't want this?" "I don't need it!" "We will get scolded by teacher for that." "Are you going to tell teacher about this?" "Be quiet." "Yukio, you are my friend, right?" "You are going to vote for me, right?" "This is a separate matter." "Poor you." "The garden's all messed up now." "If you tell teacher about this," "I'm also going to tell him about what you did to flowers." "Everyone, have you decided on who to vote for?" "Then, I'll pass out these papers." "Write down the name of the person you chose." "We will count the votes now." "Hitomi, Megane, please help me write down the result on the board." "We will start with the Snow White role first." "Nitako." "Nitako again." "Next one is..." "Melmo." "Next one is Melmo as well." "Nitako." "Melmo." "Nitako." "Melmo." "Nitako." "Melmo." "Nitako." "Melmo." "Nitako..." "Melmo." "Melmo." "Nitako." "Nitako." "Melmo." "How did it turn out?" "It's a tie for Nitako and Melmo." "What should we do?" "This is difficult." "Teacher!" "What is it, Melmo?" "If Nitako wants to take the Snow White role," "I'm fine with other roles." "Isn't that Yukio?" "Where have you been?" "What happened to your leg?" "I sprained my ankle, so I went to the nurse's office." "Are you all right?" "I'm all right." "All right, then." "Good." "You should vote now." "We are about to decide on the Snow White role." "So..." "Who did you vote..." "Huh?" "Melmo!" "Yay!" "Congratulations!" "Teacher, I heard it from my kid." "I heard that she didn't get chosen for this year's play." "That's right." "Students voted for Melmo." "That's not right." "Pardon?" "I'm sure the voting method was wrong or something." "There will be another opportunity for Nitako." "No, I don't think so." "Teacher, I've made many sacrifices to make her a celebrity." "Every parent has a prejudice about his own child, but my child is a very talented one no matter what." "We are thinking to let her work in the entertainment field." "My husband is always teaching her to stand on stage." "If she doesn't get the leading role, her expectatino will be turned down." "You have a point, ma'am, but if I let her have her own way, it will affect other students as well." "Teacher, she's not trying to have her own way." "You don't have to say that." "Please take this." "What is this?" "I can't accept such thing." "Besides, we gave Nitako the role of Queen." "Will that not work for her?" "So you are not going to get her the leading role no matter what, huh?" "All right, then!" "Excuse me!" "Hold on, Melmo." "I've never seen such a shameless person like you." "How come?" "I don't think you are suitable for the role of Snow White." "I'm going to practice and do well with it." "How arrogant." "It's not like someone from your family is going to come and watch you act in the play." "There is someone." "Huh?" "Who?" "My mom." "My mom's coming." "Mom?" "But you don't have a mom." "You are a liar." "I'm not lying." "Are you sure?" "Then let's do this." "If your mom comes for real," "I'll admit and let you have the role of Snow White." "If she doesn't, I will take the role." "All right." "How can a dead person come?" "She might be without her legs!" "Mom, I might be able to take the Snow White role!" "That's great." "Go and get ready with the Snow White costume." "You have to do it well." "I'll film it." "Will there be any seat left up front?" "Are you trying to say that since I'm so short, I won't be able to watch it if I don't go up front?" "That's not right." "I got the Snow White role." "I want you to watch me play closely." "Are you that much interested in shooting my nose?" "I'm not filming you!" "Melmo!" "You told me you would bring your mom." "What happened?" "Where is she?" "She's here." "Over there." "Over where?" "I'll go and call her." "She's running away." "I took too many." "I'm late!" "Melmo's late." "Did she go home?" "Ouch!" "Dang!" "I grew them for a year!" "Nice to meet you." "I'm Melmo's mom." "I've heard about you from my kid." "I heard you had some kind of accident..." "It wasn't anything big." "Well, that's fortunate." "Mom, I'm leaving." "I have to get dressed." "Next one is 4-A's choir performance." "Well done." "You totally shocked them." "That is Melmo's mom for sure." "But something's weird." "I have to look into this." "Next one will be my class." "Watch us carefully." "All right." "If my mom were really here, I would be so happy." "But it won't happen..." "That's weird." "She's hiding candies in a place like this?" "My gosh, I don't like her." "Be quiet." "Shut up." "Where have you been?" "You won't be able to make it if you are late like that." "Hurry." "Oh my gosh." "When did this happen?" "I wonder." "There's no other way." "Are you going to be there without that dress or something?" "What?" "You should ask your mom to sew it back." "I'll do it myself." "You are so slow." "You are not going to make it!" "What happened, Melmo?" "Leave her alone!" "It will begin soon!" "I will sew it for you." "I will help you too." "Thank you." "Thank you!" "Next one will be the play "Snow White" by 3-B class." "Mirror, Mirror, who's the fairest of them all?" "It is Snow White." "It is Snow..." "White!" "It is so." "What?" "Snow White?" "No way." "I hate her!" "Where is Snow White?" "I'm here!" "Snow White, start cleaning right away." "Yes, ma'am!" "Next, do the laundry!" "Yes, ma'am!" "Wash it more carefully!" "Now dry this." "When you are done, go wash dishes in the kitchen." "Yes, ma'am!" "Faster!" "Wash them fast!" "Snow White!" "Snow White!" "Snow White!" "Stop it!" "Nitako, you are mean." "You are beating me for real!" "Then, answer me." "Who do you think is prettier, between you and me?" "Well, the queen is prettier." "Liar!" "You think you are prettier at your heart!" "All right." "Okay, then we will have a trial to decide on who's prettier." "We will now begin "Who's the fairest" trial." "The lost one will be sentenced to death immediately." "Then, let us begin!" "Who's the fairest one in the world?" "Me?" "Snow White?" "It is the queen!" "All right." "I win, then." "Put Snow White to death!" "Take her back to the stage and take her clothes off." "Then, now that Snow White is gone," "I will be the second Snow White." "What do you think? So it's decided." "I'm Snow White from now on." "What kind of play is this?" "I've never seen such a play in which the queen kills Snow White." "Nitako, such thing isn't included in the plot!" "Teacher, you can't come up to the stage." "Who changed it like this?" "My mom did." "Because Melmo cannot really perform the Snow White role well." "Don't be silly." "We have to follow the rule!" "You are the queen, and Melmo is Snow White." "Do you understand?" "All right, then." "Hey, don't you think it's too mean to kill Snow White in a forest like this?" "Should we spare her life?" "But we have to get an evidence to the queen that we killed her." "Then, let's take her clothes at least." "That one." "Stop it!" "Stop!" "Gosh, give it back to me!" "This isn't the story of Snow White." "Hey, the story changed again." "My mom wrote it." "Your mom again?" "When did she do that?" "It's true." "I changed it so it would be easier for Nitako to perform." "Even though you are her parent, you shouldn't do that." "It messes the whole play up!" "It's a responsibility of a parent to make things smooth for her child, right?" "Ma'am, we are at school!" "I can't let a student have her own way!" "Is that so?" "Then, it would all be fine if I put it back, right?" "I will bring Snow White back to the stage." "This isn't a play." "This is a bully." "It's making me angry." "I became alone again." "I won't be able to go back to that castle again." "My favorite mom, my sweet mom, you used to hug me with warm heart." "You were the best mom in the world." "But now you are just looking at me from far away." "I have only one dream." "That is, when I grow up," "I want to be the best mom like you." "Mom, watch me." "I'm going to do my best no matter what happens." "I won't cry even if I'm alone." "I'm going to be strong." "That's right, Melmo." "You know well about it." "Snow White!" "Good afternoon." "Welcome to our house." "Please hide here." "The queen won't be able to find you!" "Let's live together and have fun!" "Who are you?" "We are fairies of the forest." "We are on your side." "What's wrong?" "You are shaking." "I have to pee!" "Me too!" "Me too!" "I want to pee!" "Pee!" "You have to go to bathroom before you get on the stage!" "Well, we had to drink tons of juice earlier." "Who made you do that?" "Nitako's mom!" "I'm sorry, but go ahead." "That's odd." "It's too soon for the apple witch to come in." "This wasn't on the script." "March!" "Stop it please!" "This is school!" "How was this play?" "The story was all messed up." "Shut up!" "Drop the curtain!" "What in the world is this?" "That's a question I want to ask." "I heard there was a competition here." "What?" ""Dance Competition" Who wrote such thing?" "This is too much!" "I'm so mad!" "Melmo," "I have something secret to tell you." "This is yours, right?" "I found it in your locker." "You've got some strange candies." "I gave it to my duck, and it became an egg." "To your duck?" "Give them back to me, ma'am." "Give them back!" "That's right!" "You want them back, right?" "Will you do me a favor, then?" "I will." "What kind of power do these have?" "If you eat a red one, you get 10 years younger, and if you eat a blue one, you get 10 years older." "That's amazing!" "I want Nitako to grow up faster." "If she takes this, she will immediately become an adult, right?" "If she takes a blue one, then she will." "Then, I'm going to let her take one." "And you should quit playing Snow White right now." "Say you have a stomachache or something." "Then, I will give your candies back." "Ma'am!" "Until then, I'm not going to give them back." "Mirror, Mirror, who's the fairest of them all?" "It is Snow White, who's living in the forest." "Snow White?" "She's alive?" "Stupid...!" "I'm going to find her and kill her!" "That's right!" "I'm going to change my look with the magic potion and then go find her!" "Nitako, I have something to tell you." "Mom, I'm still in the play." "Melmo..." "Ma'am, you shouldn't be here." "Well, I..." "Go back to your seat!" "Is this a new prop?" "My body is..." "My body is..." "That doesn't look like Nitako." "It's a real old lady." "That's true." "My face..." "Nitako!" "I knew it." "Melmo, take them." "Now it's over." "Teacher, leave her to me." "I don't understand what's going on." "Queen, cheer up." "I will get you better." "Take this." "Thank you, Melmo!" "What is this?" "The queen and Snow White are good friends now?" "I don't get it!" "Ma'am, you were wrong." "Do you really think you are doing well with your child?" "Look at Melmo!" "Even without parents, she's growing up strongly and cheerfully!" "In the contrast, you are spoiling your own child!" "Don't you understand how it's ruining your child?" "I'm sorry..." "I was wrong..." "Snow White didn't depend on a prince nor dwarves;" "she overcame her hardships on her own." "Is this different from the usual Snow White story?" "Well, the original story's Snow White always depends on others." "She seems very week." "A mother animal never raises its child like that." "It trains its child strictly and raise it to be a strong one." "You shouldn't depend on others so much as well." "Become a strong child, overcoming hardships on your own."
