《What happened?》
《(Screaming)》
《What happened?》
《Are you okay?》
《What's wrong? Someone?》
《Can you hear me?》
《Can you hear me?》
《Can you hear me?》
《Please》
《Are you okay? Can you hear me?》
《Can you hear me?》
《(Makino) Ha, ha》
(Kanzaki) Ha, ha, ha
Ha, sorry, ha~
That… Did Saejima-san move?
It seems like he moved away…
Do you know where he is now?
(Shop Manager) I wouldn’t know.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with us.
Koreda-sensei
(Koreda) It seems Saejima-sensei
has disappeared.
Kanzaki-kun came asking if I knew anything.
(Mikami) Koreda-sensei doesn't know either.
Yes, there’s no contact from Isshiki-sensei either.
I’m worried about Kanzaki-kun.
(Tominaga)
It’s really amazing, the "On-papa's Textbook."
(Tominaga)
Stuff like this is the best, right?→
"Alright.
Close the textbook and think about it."
Everything needs to be thought through first,
or else you can’t move to the next part.
(Shinonome) My dad always said
Thinking is not effective
unless paired with doing.
Even if you study,
it’s meaningless.
Even if you study,
it’s meaningless.
It’s the same thing as what Okami says.
Huh?
Sorry if that made you feel bad.
You know, Okami is worried about On in his own way.
Actually, I feel like he might also feel responsible in some way.
I haven’t figured that out yet.
I still can’t make sense of it.
I see.
You know, there’s something I want to do.
Tominaga, can you help me?
Welcome.
Please come in.
Oh.
Please come in.
Oh.
Sorry, I asked for this place, but… the location…
(Nakaoka) No, no. I just like a place I can trust.
I’m just a small fry after all.
Do you often come here?
(Nakaoka) If I come here, people start figuring out where to find me.
I think it's about time to change.
It’s tough being popular, right?
So, what’s the story?
There’s no urgent matter at hand.
I just want to create an environment where we can talk even without Tsukada-san.
I just want to create an environment where we can talk even without Tsukada-san.
That's nice to hear.
I need backing.
As you know, Tsukada
is very protective of his position.
From here on, I’ll have to take on the dirty work.
I would like to have your support, Nakaoka-san.
Can we talk for a moment?
I’m planning to do an independent project at the next Tōtoku Festival.
(Kawashima) Huh? Huh, what are you doing?
An independent project?
I plan to investigate the textbook certification and display the results.
Here’s the proposal.
Can you pass this around?
(Anzai) But the third years are supposed to self-study,
isn’t that okay?
Participation is voluntary, so the school shouldn’t be able to stop it.
(Sakurai) I can’t believe they’d allow that.
Could you at least take a look at it first?
(Muraoka)
Please, no more of this fuss.
(Takanashi) Seriously, right?
(Kazuki) I’ll do it.
(Takanashi) Seriously, right?
(Kazuki) I’ll do it.
(Harayama) Huh? Kazuki, are you serious?
Private school third years usually don’t participate, that’s just how it is.
But there are other high schools that participate.
If anyone else is interested, feel free to speak up.
(Chime)
(Jigen) Tominaga, I’m part of this, right?
(Tominaga) Jigen’s a mandatory participant.
(Jigen) Roger. Hey, Ibaraharu.
(Ibara) Huh? What?
You’re also a mandatory participant.
(Ibara) Huh? Huh, mandatory?
(Endo) Hatano, what are you doing?
(Hatano) Of course, self-study, right?
(Hatano) Of course, self-study, right?
Looks like it’s self-study after all.
(The door opens)
Good morning.
(Students) Good morning.
(Fuyuki) Sensei, please start the class.
Huh? What?
(Fuyuki) I thought you were going to start talking about that.
I thought you were going to start talking about that.
Well, since we’re here for class,
Oh, then today…
Well, today…
If it’s just copying notes,
you can just take a picture of the blackboard with your phone and be done.
But if you think there might be a mistake somewhere,
as you copy, think about it,
and it will naturally stick in your head.
Well, maybe this connects to something else.
Please stay out of the content.
Now, I’ll just touch on one thing without going into detail.
Now, without touching the content, just one thing.
With this, it’s probably not going to get the classroom usage permit.
Isn’t it strange to use the class to steer the discussion toward your own topic?
I didn’t mean to do that, though.
It’s just too interesting of a matter.
Kurayoshi-san.
(Kurayoshi) Huh? Me?
Yes, in America, how did they teach about the atomic bomb?
(Quiet) Uh…
Uh, well…
Is it hard to say?
Is it hard to say?
Yeah, it’s hard to say. Should I say it instead?
Ah, no, I’ll say it.
I want to say it.
Go ahead.
Uh…
In America,
they teach that the atomic bomb was…
something that couldn’t be helped.
Huh?
(Students murmur)
(Miyazawa) That’s strange.
(Miyazawa) That’s strange.
From America’s side, they said if Japan continued the war,
they’d carry out a devastating attack.
In other words, they warned that they’d drop the atomic bomb.
(Miyazawa) So what? They warned us?
Uh… The textbook says
that the statement of the then-President of the United States is written like this:
“If we continue the war, we cannot avoid a final battle on the homeland.”
“To prevent further sacrifices of young American soldiers…”
“To prevent further sacrifices of young American soldiers…”
“The atomic bomb was inevitable.”
That’s ridiculous.
But that’s what the textbook says.
However, it also says this:
“Do you think the president’s opinion was correct?”
“State your opinion and provide evidence for it.”
(Miyazawa) What did you answer?
I couldn’t answer.
Huh? That’s impossible. Kurayoshi, you’re Japanese, right?
Everyone was looking at me just like they are now.
I didn’t have much knowledge.
And my opinion, having grown up in America, became
the opinion of all Japanese people, I thought.
It was scary.
I couldn’t answer.
I couldn’t answer.
Now, I think I could answer it a little better.
What would you answer?
What would you answer?
(Kurayoshi) Japan should have stopped the war sooner,
and America should not have dropped the atomic bomb either.
In other words, both were wrong.
Why is that?
In Okinawa, many people, including civilians, lost their lives.
In Okinawa, many people, including civilians, lost their lives.
That was enough for Japan to decide,
on its own accord, to stop the war.
What about America then?
The atomic bomb
in an instant,
took countless lives, so people say it was unforgivable.
But,
I kept wondering if it was just about the numbers,
and it troubled me greatly.
It troubled me greatly.
However, ultimately,
a bomb that destroys cells and causes health damage for decades,
no matter how you think about it,
should never have been used.
Agreed.
(Kurayoshi) Therefore,
in future classes,
please convey that both were wrong.
I want that message to be shared.
What are you trying to say?
You're making Kurayoshi say all this,
digging up past trauma.
Do you understand?
This is quite a sensitive topic.
Of course. You were listening to Kurayoshi's story, right?
There are textbooks that contain words justifying the atomic bomb,
There are textbooks that contain words justifying the atomic bomb,
because that's the justice of that country.
Similarly, each person and country has their own justice.
If you believe only your justice is right,
you can't have a conversation with anyone.
So what should we do?
Do you want me to give you directives?
No, right?
Atsushi,
you know,
it's not trauma.
Huh?
Since it seemed like it might become trauma, I studied hard,
and when it was decided that I would return to my country,
I talked properly with my classmates.
I told them that
I absolutely do not want to go to war with everyone I love.
What did everyone say back?
Yuume said it perfectly.
No matter what happens, we must never push the nuclear button.
No matter what happens, we must never push the nuclear button.
So, they answered.
I also said that Japan must strictly adhere to the principle of not possessing nuclear weapons.
I spoke to them clearly.
So, it wasn't a trauma.
Yet,
when I returned to Japan,
it turned out to be a topic nobody could talk about.
That was even more painful.
So,
Atsushi,
I'm grateful to you.
I want to participate.
(Bell rings)
This concludes the class.
(Tominaga) Kanzaki, aren't you joining?
No, I'm fine.
I have something else to do.
Is it about Mr. Saejima?
Have you found out anything since then?
No, I don't know.
I can't contact him by email,
and it seems he has canceled his phone.
I think he genuinely intends to face his daughter.
Even so
I can't just leave it like this.
Are you okay?
Let me know right away if you hear from him.
And Kanzaki-kun, you let me know if anything happens.
And Kanzaki-kun, you let me know if anything happens.
Okay.
(Mizobata) What does this mean?
Was there any mistake somewhere?
Was there any mistake somewhere?
(Mizobata) I explained that seniors generally don't participate for three years, didn't I?
And this topic—
I spoke a little to the director about it.
He said it was wonderful,
and that it should definitely be done, though.
I'll go confirm.
Ogami-sensei.
Ah, yes?
Do you have a moment?
What is it?
Huh?
What do you mean?
Hmm? As I said,
permission to use the classroom—
at this rate, it might be revoked.
at this rate, it might be revoked.
The reason?
It is not suitable for high school cultural festivals
due to its strong political nature.
(Kagawa) There it is. Then why give the right to vote at 18?
That's the point, isn't it?
(Enda) But it's strange, right?
Even though permission was initially granted.
It might be obvious it would be revoked.
(Shinonome) Why though?
To begin with, it was surprising that permission was granted initially.
But
Everyone, what do you think?
(Ayase) At first—
since it was only for volunteers,
I thought it might be okay.
(Ayase) Honestly, it's tough.
It's tough?
(Ichihara) Because there's no place to study during lunch breaks.
Anyone else? Anything to add?
(Harayama) I
Wasn't Harayama going to do it?
I was asked this a few times.
Wasn't Harayama going to do it?
I was asked this a few times.
It was hard.
I understand. It feels like those who don't participate
are being mocked as not having enough time.
(Bell rings)
Well, I'll start homeroom now.
I have a proposal.
Let's have a debate.
Since there are various opinions,
We should consider it
before protesting about the classroom permission, right?
The topic is whether to have a textbook exhibit at the cultural festival.
Are you for or against?
What do you think?
Shouldn't we go for it?
Then let's try it.
Sakurai will represent those in favor,
and Shinonome will represent those against.
What? Why?
A debate is not a place to express your true opinion.
Those in favor will simply show their reasons for being for,
and those against will show their reasons for being against.
Let's rearrange the desks a bit.
Let's start with those in favor,
Sakurai-san.
(Sakurai) First of all,
there are people who don't even know
about textbook inspection
and its obligatory use.
Also, not many countries do textbook inspection.
I don't think that's widely known.
Understanding the foundation
of what we base our learning on is meaningful.
So I am for the exhibit.
So I am for the exhibit.
Next is Shinonome-san.
It's the rule to state arguments
against the current supportive opinions.
That's how it works in a debate.
To begin with, the reason seniors don't participate in cultural festivals is
It's a consideration to focus on the exam, but →
by proceeding without the class's agreement, →
isn't it taking away the rights of those who want to focus on studying? →
Isn't it taking away their rights?
Isn't it taking away their rights?
So, I am
against it.
Well then, shall we move on to the discussion?
Is that okay with you, Sakurai-san?
This is Article 34, Section 1 of the School Education Act.
"Textbooks that have been inspected by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, or"
"Textbooks that have been inspected by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, or"
"Textbooks for which the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology holds the copyright"
"must be used."
(Sakurai) However, in the latest curriculum guidelines →
individual optimization
In other words, education tailored to each student's understanding
is an important pillar, and →
I think it contradicts the idea of proceeding with common textbooks →
As an opportunity to think about that,
shouldn't it be displayed? I agree.
Shouldn't it be displayed? I agree.
Wow, you really did your research. That's impressive.
(Shinonome) The School Education Act is
a law that should be the foundation of education.
If we have doubts about that,
the foundation of education will collapse.
I am against it.
I investigated the situation in Shinonome-san's father's class.
Huh? What?
(Sakurai) Many students are →
advancing to high-level high schools →
According to newspaper articles →
they learned the joy of studying through rich
They were taught the joy of learning through enriching lessons.
Many voices, including those of graduates, spoke up to defend him.
That such a teacher
lost his job for violating the national curriculum guidelines
lost his job for violating the national curriculum guidelines
is a great loss in education.
Isn't it worth considering?
The plan
I think we should do it.
(Sakurai's footsteps)
I don't have an opinion
that would be a good response to Sakurai-san's words.
I have no opinion on this.
My parents divorced three years ago
and I did nothing.
(Shinonome) I didn't even try to find out
what my father was doing at school.
what my father was doing at school.
I don't think I have the right
to direct my anger at Mr. Mikami.
I
don't think a project led by someone like me
is worth anything.
Therefore
I'm against it.
Those in favor are for it from the point of view of the meaning of the project,
Those in favor are for it from the point of view of the meaning of the project,
and those opposed are against it because of the lack of consideration for those who want to study,
and the sense of exclusion felt by those who don't participate.
Haven't we figured out what we need to do?
Oh, that's right. There was a private announcement today.
The Parliamentary Vice-Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Takizawa, that is, a politician, will be visiting the cultural festival.
(Murmuring) Huh? Seriously?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We don't want the government to know that we're putting on an exhibit that deals with textbook screenings.
So, they're interfering? That's right.
What should we do?
Does this mean the person who needs to see it the most is coming?
I want to do it.
Well then, let's all talk it over.
(Tominaga) Let's talk, everyone! (Kurayoshi) That's right. What should we talk about first?
(Tominaga) Let's talk, everyone! (Kurayoshi) That's right. What should we talk about first?
(Wakui) Well, how about we exchange opinions first?
(Jigen) That's it, that's it!
(Wakui) So, about the project again um
(Wakui) Honestly, we don't have nearly enough people to help with the preparations. If
I just make it a habit to look up anything related to the law. That's all.
Thank you so much.
Mr. Mizobata,
do you have a moment?
do you have a moment?
Ah, about that
Are you withdrawing it?
No, I want to do it.
So, I revised the project itself.
You've changed it a lot.
Yes.
I'll review it and get back to you.
Thank you for your consideration.
Thank you for your consideration.
Kanzaki, are you not planning on coming to the cultural festival?
I have plans. What, are you being stubborn?
There are things I can only do on weekdays.
You've heard, haven't you, that they got the exhibition permit through with a fake proposal?
Can you believe it?
I can't believe that serious Atsushi would do something like that.
(Shinonome) C, phew, that's a lifesaver.
Thank you. (Shinonome) You're welcome.
I think there are things we should be doing as the press club.
I think there are things we should be doing as the press club.
(Jigen) Kanzaki, aren't you doing anything for the cultural festival?
Tominaga's being annoying, telling me to come interview.
(Drinks) Ah, I have an update on Mikami Kota.
What is it?
Hey, Lupin, pull up yesterday's stuff.
(AI Lupin's voice) OK.
(Jigen) I found a thread on 2channel.
(Clicking sound)
(Jigen) Heh, digital tattoo.
(Jigen) Heh, digital tattoo.
It's still there, perfectly intact.
I thought, "Okami's in trouble," but
dude, it's way beyond that.
It's way too intense.
Do you have a moment?
Yes, what is it?
Yamato Takeru built
Yamato Takeru built
a barrier to prepare for the invasion of the Emishi.
And that was located in
Kasumigaseki.
In other words, I think Yamato Takeru
means "bureaucrat."
Yamato Takeru is Mr. Mikami?
No, it's not. But
Is that the end of your story? No, not yet.
This Hirakawa Gate
This Hirakawa Gate
is located directly opposite
the Sakurada Gate in Kasumigaseki.
It's said to be the back gate of Edo Castle.
In other words, many people entered Rintoku
through the back door. I see. And, "Rintoku is the beautiful land."
This is a parody of Yamato Takeru's death poem.
Originally, it was "Yamato is the beautiful land."
In other words, Yamato is a very good country.
And this "mahoroba," if you write it in kanji
And this "mahoroba," if you write it in kanji
Have you noticed?
The former chairman's name
these characters are read as "Masahide."
(Tsukada) About Vice-Minister Takizawa's visit to Rintoku
Makino-kun, would you accompany him?
Yes, I'd be happy to.
Wow, but still, it's amazing.
The Vice-Minister is visiting.
That's how much attention this high school is getting.
The way local residents gather at the cultural festival is also amazing.
It seems so.
Takizawa really favored Mikami-kun.
Absolutely
don't embarrass him.
don't embarrass him.
Understood.
I bought them. Thank you.
Ah, thank you.
Sensei.
The dummy proposal has been officially approved.
I see. That's good.
However, the school will be checking it the day before.
Well, I figured that would happen.
Shinonome-san spoke with each member of the class individually?
Shinonome-san spoke with each member of the class individually?
Yes.
How did it go?
Those who aren't participating
said they acknowledge the freedom of those who are.
Also, a few new people will be participating.
I see.
This is the actual proposal for what we're doing.
It's a good theme.
"Looking at the World Through Textbooks."
I like it.
I was struck by what Kurayoshi said.
Japanese people
tend to blur the theme right away.
A theme is created to return to it again and again.
Like "the power to live."
Like "the power to live."
Yes.
If you're going to make it a pillar of the national curriculum guidelines
it's such a weighty phrase that you'd have to completely redo the content.
It's a serious phrase.
But you're patching it together
and trying to somehow make it work.
That's why it's becoming so blurry.
I feel attacked.
I want the Ministry of Education guys to hear this.
That's why I'll work hard so that doesn't happen.
This is the progress chart. Could you take a look?
Okay.
Ah, I think it's a good idea, but
if it were me, I'd
do it like this.
Sensei.
Please lure the mice into the trap.
Roger.
Is this good here? Yes, that's good there.
(Kurayoshi) Alright, alright, alright. Nice, nice, nice.
Can I help? Oh, we'd love that!
(Staff) Person number 133.
Yes.
Ms. Mayama Yuzuru will not be having a visit.
Um, what should I do?
(Staff) We'll have to confirm her intentions by letter.
(Staff) We'll have to confirm her intentions by letter.
(Kanzaki) Are you able to have visits?
You can't live in your old house anymore, right?
(Yuko) It's okay.
I was planning on moving somewhere closer to here anyway.
I told you to forget about it, didn't I?
I can't, so I'm struggling.
I
turned 18 yesterday.
I see.
I should have a grown-up face.
Yuzuru-san killed someone.
Yuzuru-san killed someone.
But I
in a sense, did the same thing.
Using words
I killed someone's heart.
Forgetting that
I can't live like that.
Please tell me the truth.
There is no truth.
Yes, there is. You're just hiding it.
(Train whistle and running sound)
(Train whistle and running sound)
(Katagiri) Haa
(Katagiri) "World Textbooks".
Haa.
Haa.
Well
This should be okay.
Principal, let's go to the next one.
I'll go take a look for a bit. Please.
How was it?
It passed. (Cheers)
Well then
"Plan Okami" is a go!
"Plan Okami" is a go!
Let's go! Let's do it!
(Isshiki) "Plan Okami"? That's right!
The students are working hard.
They love you, don't they?
Yeah.
I'm loved.
It's frustrating, but (Isshiki) Heh heh.
(Yoshikawa) Ah, it's Mizobata.
It's okay.
They're doing it properly.
Huh? Oh, damn
Oh, Chief Mizobata, you were here?
Mr. Mikami. Yes.
It seems Vice-Minister Takizawa is busy today.
Please no meeting.
Understood.
Understood.
(Mizobata) Today, we have with us Vice-Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology
Mr. Yuichiro Takizawa.
(Applause)
(Takizawa) Well, congratulations
on holding the Rintoku Festival.
Well, this cultural festival
even though it's a high school cultural festival
has a high level of creativity and is
(Jigen) As expected. "Plan Okami" is a huge success.
(Jigen) As expected. "Plan Okami" is a huge success.
That's right. Since it's Mizobata
he'll definitely check it in the morning
(Shinonome's father) Oh.
Dad, you were able to come.
I finally got permission from the hospital.
Thank you.
He seemed to be really looking forward to it.
First, I want my dad and Mr. Mikami to see it.
(Takizawa) Is it all handmade? Yes, that's right.
(Takizawa) Is it all handmade? Yes, that's right.
Ha ha, amazing. (Kodai) Everyone
has been lining up since early this morning.
I've always wanted a high school that is this integrated into the community.
Ah, ha ha
Oh, right, Mikami-kun is at Rintoku, isn't he?
At Rintoku, participation from third-year students is generally not allowed, but
Mr. Mikami's class really wanted to do it.
Oh? What kind of exhibit are they doing?
(Makino) It's called "World Textbooks."
(Takizawa) Oh? I'll have to take a look. Ha ha ha.
That's great, ha ha.
That's great, ha ha.
Wow, so many people.
(Tominaga) Wakui is a somewhat famous influencer in the quiz world, and
she reached out to me. Now the school can't stop us.
Mr. Mikami, Mr. Mikami.
Yes. Vice Minister Takizawa is
apparently going to come here. I'm really surprised.
I can't believe there's a way to convey textbook screening like this.
Huh? Textbook screening?
The textbook screening is very well done.
I'll introduce you to everyone. Huh? Hahaha
Mr. Mikami, isn't temporarily suspending the exhibit impossible?
I am terribly sorry.
Apparently, there was equipment trouble, so this exhibit will be temporarily suspended
The equipment trouble has been fixed!
You!
(Takizawa) Mikami-kun.
Vice Minister Takizawa, it's been a while.
I heard you were at Rintoku, so I was looking forward to it.
Yes. I appreciate you letting me
fully experience the atmosphere here.
fully experience the atmosphere here.
(Takizawa) Fufufu. Is that so? Is that so?
Well then, keep up the good work.
Yes. Vice Minister, isn't it almost time?
If you'd like, please take a look. Makino-san, do we have time?
If it's just for a little while, please. This way.
Then
(Takizawa) Hello.
(In unison) Hello.
Oh hah
Textbook Screening.
Do you know this word?
What does this mean?
(Quiz sound effect)
(Quiz sound effect)
Does it come up?
(Takizawa) No.
(Presses the NO button)
Textbook Screening is
before textbooks created by private companies are published
What is this? Whether the content is appropriate
Ah, well, um whether it conforms
to the national curriculum guidelines
is a system where the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology screens it.
Textbook Screening
is it necessary?
(Quiz sound effect)
(Presses the YES button) Of course, right, Vice Minister?
(Takizawa) Hmm.
Ah, Sensei! (Camera shutter sound)
Sensei (Continuous camera shutter sound)
I'm Kanzaki from the press club.
What are your thoughts on seeing this exhibit?
Kanzaki-kun. Aah!
I don't mind.
I don't mind.
May I ask you a question? (Mizobata) Hey, Kanzaki-kun.
(Kanzaki) I'm asking the Vice Minister.
(Presses the record button) Can I ask for your thoughts?
Not only the content, but the way they've used digital technology
to add an event-like quality to the exhibit
has greatly impressed me.
has greatly impressed me.
And the students' (Whispering) What are you thinking?
(Takizawa) creativity and passion
What is the meaning of this? Mr. Mikami.
Although I wasn't aware of the content, I apologize.
This is an educational setting. Please refrain from Kasumigaseki jargon.
Yes. (Yamazoe) What is this?
I'm sorry. Whoa, this is the one from before
(Yamazoe) I'm sorry, this.
"I am he who swings the Kusanagi sword"
"at those who enter through the Hirakawa Gate."
"I am he who swings the Kusanagi sword"
"Your corruption will soon be exposed."
"Yamato Takeru."
(Turns on the switch)
(Operating sound)
Okami, everyone's waiting.
Ah. Is it okay for me to go?
Please, go ahead.
Please, go ahead.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
(Shinonome) Thank you so much.
Cheers!
(Students) Cheers!
Good work, everyone!
Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!
(Shinonome) Sensei. Hmm?
I think I understand.
Huh? Personal is political.
Huh? Personal is political.
The personal is
political.
That's right.
That's why the national curriculum guidelines
might have to protect the peace of families as well.
(Phone vibrates)
☎(Makino) Good work on the cultural festival.
Good work on the inspection.
☎There's something I want to tell you.
☎There's something I want to tell you.
☎Now that you've jumped right into the middle of education reform
☎You can do whatever you want. However
☎Isn't delving into the textbook screening a bit too reckless?
What's the problem?
☎The fact that the Vice Minister was there, obviously.
Since the Cabinet Bureau of Personnel Affairs was established
personnel affairs for bureaucrats are controlled by Nagata-cho.
☎You should know that, Mikami. Is that a threat?
☎Ha? Of course not.
You can do whatever you want.
But I won't forgive you if you lay a hand on the students.
But I won't forgive you if you lay a hand on the students.
(Hangs up the phone)
You heard that.
What's gotten into you, Mikami-kun?
You need to be careful.
You might get tripped up.
Still, this is bad, Makino-kun.
I didn't say you could talk about personnel affairs.
Because you were completely set up.
Using people No, no.
It's also Makino-kun's responsibility that you couldn't stop it.
It's also Makino-kun's responsibility that you couldn't stop it.
Yes, so
I won't let this end here.
I won't let Mikami do as he pleases. Agreed?
Do as you please.
《If I don't do it》
《I'll stop being myself.》
I'm saying we're both guilty!
《(Knock)》
《(Screaming)》
《What happened?》
《(Screaming)》
《What happened?》
《Are you okay?》
《What's wrong? Someone?》
《Can you hear me?》
《Can you hear me?》
《Can you hear me?》
《Please》
《Are you okay? Can you hear me?》
《Can you hear me?》
《(Makino) Ha, ha》
(Kanzaki) Ha, ha, ha
Ha, sorry, ha~
That… Did Saejima-san move?
It seems like he moved away…
Do you know where he is now?
(Shop Manager) I wouldn’t know.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with us.
Koreda-sensei
(Koreda) It seems Saejima-sensei
has disappeared.
Kanzaki-kun came asking if I knew anything.
(Mikami) Koreda-sensei doesn't know either.
Yes, there’s no contact from Isshiki-sensei either.
I’m worried about Kanzaki-kun.
(Tominaga)
It’s really amazing, the "On-papa's Textbook."
(Tominaga)
Stuff like this is the best, right?→
"Alright.
Close the textbook and think about it."
Everything needs to be thought through first,
or else you can’t move to the next part.
(Shinonome) My dad always said
Thinking is not effective
unless paired with doing.
Even if you study,
it’s meaningless.
Even if you study,
it’s meaningless.
It’s the same thing as what Okami says.
Huh?
Sorry if that made you feel bad.
You know, Okami is worried about On in his own way.
Actually, I feel like he might also feel responsible in some way.
I haven’t figured that out yet.
I still can’t make sense of it.
I see.
You know, there’s something I want to do.
Tominaga, can you help me?
Welcome.
Please come in.
Oh.
Please come in.
Oh.
Sorry, I asked for this place, but… the location…
(Nakaoka) No, no. I just like a place I can trust.
I’m just a small fry after all.
Do you often come here?
(Nakaoka) If I come here, people start figuring out where to find me.
I think it's about time to change.
It’s tough being popular, right?
So, what’s the story?
There’s no urgent matter at hand.
I just want to create an environment where we can talk even without Tsukada-san.
I just want to create an environment where we can talk even without Tsukada-san.
That's nice to hear.
I need backing.
As you know, Tsukada
is very protective of his position.
From here on, I’ll have to take on the dirty work.
I would like to have your support, Nakaoka-san.
Can we talk for a moment?
I’m planning to do an independent project at the next Tōtoku Festival.
(Kawashima) Huh? Huh, what are you doing?
An independent project?
I plan to investigate the textbook certification and display the results.
Here’s the proposal.
Can you pass this around?
(Anzai) But the third years are supposed to self-study,
isn’t that okay?
Participation is voluntary, so the school shouldn’t be able to stop it.
(Sakurai) I can’t believe they’d allow that.
Could you at least take a look at it first?
(Muraoka)
Please, no more of this fuss.
(Takanashi) Seriously, right?
(Kazuki) I’ll do it.
(Takanashi) Seriously, right?
(Kazuki) I’ll do it.
(Harayama) Huh? Kazuki, are you serious?
Private school third years usually don’t participate, that’s just how it is.
But there are other high schools that participate.
If anyone else is interested, feel free to speak up.
(Chime)
(Jigen) Tominaga, I’m part of this, right?
(Tominaga) Jigen’s a mandatory participant.
(Jigen) Roger. Hey, Ibaraharu.
(Ibara) Huh? What?
You’re also a mandatory participant.
(Ibara) Huh? Huh, mandatory?
(Endo) Hatano, what are you doing?
(Hatano) Of course, self-study, right?
(Hatano) Of course, self-study, right?
Looks like it’s self-study after all.
(The door opens)
Good morning.
(Students) Good morning.
(Fuyuki) Sensei, please start the class.
Huh? What?
(Fuyuki) I thought you were going to start talking about that.
I thought you were going to start talking about that.
Well, since we’re here for class,
Oh, then today…
Well, today…
If it’s just copying notes,
you can just take a picture of the blackboard with your phone and be done.
But if you think there might be a mistake somewhere,
as you copy, think about it,
and it will naturally stick in your head.
Well, maybe this connects to something else.
Please stay out of the content.
Now, I’ll just touch on one thing without going into detail.
Now, without touching the content, just one thing.
With this, it’s probably not going to get the classroom usage permit.
Isn’t it strange to use the class to steer the discussion toward your own topic?
I didn’t mean to do that, though.
It’s just too interesting of a matter.
Kurayoshi-san.
(Kurayoshi) Huh? Me?
Yes, in America, how did they teach about the atomic bomb?
(Quiet) Uh…
Uh, well…
Is it hard to say?
Is it hard to say?
Yeah, it’s hard to say. Should I say it instead?
Ah, no, I’ll say it.
I want to say it.
Go ahead.
Uh…
In America,
they teach that the atomic bomb was…
something that couldn’t be helped.
Huh?
(Students murmur)
(Miyazawa) That’s strange.
(Miyazawa) That’s strange.
From America’s side, they said if Japan continued the war,
they’d carry out a devastating attack.
In other words, they warned that they’d drop the atomic bomb.
(Miyazawa) So what? They warned us?
Uh… The textbook says
that the statement of the then-President of the United States is written like this:
“If we continue the war, we cannot avoid a final battle on the homeland.”
“To prevent further sacrifices of young American soldiers…”
“To prevent further sacrifices of young American soldiers…”
“The atomic bomb was inevitable.”
That’s ridiculous.
But that’s what the textbook says.
However, it also says this:
“Do you think the president’s opinion was correct?”
“State your opinion and provide evidence for it.”
(Miyazawa) What did you answer?
I couldn’t answer.
Huh? That’s impossible. Kurayoshi, you’re Japanese, right?
Everyone was looking at me just like they are now.
I didn’t have much knowledge.
And my opinion, having grown up in America, became
the opinion of all Japanese people, I thought.
It was scary.
I couldn’t answer.
I couldn’t answer.
Now, I think I could answer it a little better.
What would you answer?
What would you answer?
(Kurayoshi) Japan should have stopped the war sooner,
and America should not have dropped the atomic bomb either.
In other words, both were wrong.
Why is that?
In Okinawa, many people, including civilians, lost their lives.
In Okinawa, many people, including civilians, lost their lives.
That was enough for Japan to decide,
on its own accord, to stop the war.
What about America then?
The atomic bomb
in an instant,
took countless lives, so people say it was unforgivable.
But,
I kept wondering if it was just about the numbers,
and it troubled me greatly.
It troubled me greatly.
However, ultimately,
a bomb that destroys cells and causes health damage for decades,
no matter how you think about it,
should never have been used.
Agreed.
(Kurayoshi) Therefore,
in future classes,
please convey that both were wrong.
I want that message to be shared.
What are you trying to say?
You're making Kurayoshi say all this,
digging up past trauma.
Do you understand?
This is quite a sensitive topic.
Of course. You were listening to Kurayoshi's story, right?
There are textbooks that contain words justifying the atomic bomb,
There are textbooks that contain words justifying the atomic bomb,
because that's the justice of that country.
Similarly, each person and country has their own justice.
If you believe only your justice is right,
you can't have a conversation with anyone.
So what should we do?
Do you want me to give you directives?
No, right?
Atsushi,
you know,
it's not trauma.
Huh?
Since it seemed like it might become trauma, I studied hard,
and when it was decided that I would return to my country,
I talked properly with my classmates.
I told them that
I absolutely do not want to go to war with everyone I love.
What did everyone say back?
Yuume said it perfectly.
No matter what happens, we must never push the nuclear button.
No matter what happens, we must never push the nuclear button.
So, they answered.
I also said that Japan must strictly adhere to the principle of not possessing nuclear weapons.
I spoke to them clearly.
So, it wasn't a trauma.
Yet,
when I returned to Japan,
it turned out to be a topic nobody could talk about.
That was even more painful.
So,
Atsushi,
I'm grateful to you.
I want to participate.
(Bell rings)
This concludes the class.
(Tominaga) Kanzaki, aren't you joining?
No, I'm fine.
I have something else to do.
Is it about Mr. Saejima?
Have you found out anything since then?
No, I don't know.
I can't contact him by email,
and it seems he has canceled his phone.
I think he genuinely intends to face his daughter.
Even so
I can't just leave it like this.
Are you okay?
Let me know right away if you hear from him.
And Kanzaki-kun, you let me know if anything happens.
And Kanzaki-kun, you let me know if anything happens.
Okay.
(Mizobata) What does this mean?
Was there any mistake somewhere?
Was there any mistake somewhere?
(Mizobata) I explained that seniors generally don't participate for three years, didn't I?
And this topic—
I spoke a little to the director about it.
He said it was wonderful,
and that it should definitely be done, though.
I'll go confirm.
Ogami-sensei.
Ah, yes?
Do you have a moment?
What is it?
Huh?
What do you mean?
Hmm? As I said,
permission to use the classroom—
at this rate, it might be revoked.
at this rate, it might be revoked.
The reason?
It is not suitable for high school cultural festivals
due to its strong political nature.
(Kagawa) There it is. Then why give the right to vote at 18?
That's the point, isn't it?
(Enda) But it's strange, right?
Even though permission was initially granted.
It might be obvious it would be revoked.
(Shinonome) Why though?
To begin with, it was surprising that permission was granted initially.
But
Everyone, what do you think?
(Ayase) At first—
since it was only for volunteers,
I thought it might be okay.
(Ayase) Honestly, it's tough.
It's tough?
(Ichihara) Because there's no place to study during lunch breaks.
Anyone else? Anything to add?
(Harayama) I
Wasn't Harayama going to do it?
I was asked this a few times.
Wasn't Harayama going to do it?
I was asked this a few times.
It was hard.
I understand. It feels like those who don't participate
are being mocked as not having enough time.
(Bell rings)
Well, I'll start homeroom now.
I have a proposal.
Let's have a debate.
Since there are various opinions,
We should consider it
before protesting about the classroom permission, right?
The topic is whether to have a textbook exhibit at the cultural festival.
Are you for or against?
What do you think?
Shouldn't we go for it?
Then let's try it.
Sakurai will represent those in favor,
and Shinonome will represent those against.
What? Why?
A debate is not a place to express your true opinion.
Those in favor will simply show their reasons for being for,
and those against will show their reasons for being against.
Let's rearrange the desks a bit.
Let's start with those in favor,
Sakurai-san.
(Sakurai) First of all,
there are people who don't even know
about textbook inspection
and its obligatory use.
Also, not many countries do textbook inspection.
I don't think that's widely known.
Understanding the foundation
of what we base our learning on is meaningful.
So I am for the exhibit.
So I am for the exhibit.
Next is Shinonome-san.
It's the rule to state arguments
against the current supportive opinions.
That's how it works in a debate.
To begin with, the reason seniors don't participate in cultural festivals is
It's a consideration to focus on the exam, but →
by proceeding without the class's agreement, →
isn't it taking away the rights of those who want to focus on studying? →
Isn't it taking away their rights?
Isn't it taking away their rights?
So, I am
against it.
Well then, shall we move on to the discussion?
Is that okay with you, Sakurai-san?
This is Article 34, Section 1 of the School Education Act.
"Textbooks that have been inspected by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, or"
"Textbooks that have been inspected by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, or"
"Textbooks for which the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology holds the copyright"
"must be used."
(Sakurai) However, in the latest curriculum guidelines →
individual optimization
In other words, education tailored to each student's understanding
is an important pillar, and →
I think it contradicts the idea of proceeding with common textbooks →
As an opportunity to think about that,
shouldn't it be displayed? I agree.
Shouldn't it be displayed? I agree.
Wow, you really did your research. That's impressive.
(Shinonome) The School Education Act is
a law that should be the foundation of education.
If we have doubts about that,
the foundation of education will collapse.
I am against it.
I investigated the situation in Shinonome-san's father's class.
Huh? What?
(Sakurai) Many students are →
advancing to high-level high schools →
According to newspaper articles →
they learned the joy of studying through rich
They were taught the joy of learning through enriching lessons.
Many voices, including those of graduates, spoke up to defend him.
That such a teacher
lost his job for violating the national curriculum guidelines
lost his job for violating the national curriculum guidelines
is a great loss in education.
Isn't it worth considering?
The plan
I think we should do it.
(Sakurai's footsteps)
I don't have an opinion
that would be a good response to Sakurai-san's words.
I have no opinion on this.
My parents divorced three years ago
and I did nothing.
(Shinonome) I didn't even try to find out
what my father was doing at school.
what my father was doing at school.
I don't think I have the right
to direct my anger at Mr. Mikami.
I
don't think a project led by someone like me
is worth anything.
Therefore
I'm against it.
Those in favor are for it from the point of view of the meaning of the project,
Those in favor are for it from the point of view of the meaning of the project,
and those opposed are against it because of the lack of consideration for those who want to study,
and the sense of exclusion felt by those who don't participate.
Haven't we figured out what we need to do?
Oh, that's right. There was a private announcement today.
The Parliamentary Vice-Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Takizawa, that is, a politician, will be visiting the cultural festival.
(Murmuring) Huh? Seriously?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We don't want the government to know that we're putting on an exhibit that deals with textbook screenings.
So, they're interfering? That's right.
What should we do?
Does this mean the person who needs to see it the most is coming?
I want to do it.
Well then, let's all talk it over.
(Tominaga) Let's talk, everyone! (Kurayoshi) That's right. What should we talk about first?
(Tominaga) Let's talk, everyone! (Kurayoshi) That's right. What should we talk about first?
(Wakui) Well, how about we exchange opinions first?
(Jigen) That's it, that's it!
(Wakui) So, about the project again um
(Wakui) Honestly, we don't have nearly enough people to help with the preparations. If
I just make it a habit to look up anything related to the law. That's all.
Thank you so much.
Mr. Mizobata,
do you have a moment?
do you have a moment?
Ah, about that
Are you withdrawing it?
No, I want to do it.
So, I revised the project itself.
You've changed it a lot.
Yes.
I'll review it and get back to you.
Thank you for your consideration.
Thank you for your consideration.
Kanzaki, are you not planning on coming to the cultural festival?
I have plans. What, are you being stubborn?
There are things I can only do on weekdays.
You've heard, haven't you, that they got the exhibition permit through with a fake proposal?
Can you believe it?
I can't believe that serious Atsushi would do something like that.
(Shinonome) C, phew, that's a lifesaver.
Thank you. (Shinonome) You're welcome.
I think there are things we should be doing as the press club.
I think there are things we should be doing as the press club.
(Jigen) Kanzaki, aren't you doing anything for the cultural festival?
Tominaga's being annoying, telling me to come interview.
(Drinks) Ah, I have an update on Mikami Kota.
What is it?
Hey, Lupin, pull up yesterday's stuff.
(AI Lupin's voice) OK.
(Jigen) I found a thread on 2channel.
(Clicking sound)
(Jigen) Heh, digital tattoo.
(Jigen) Heh, digital tattoo.
It's still there, perfectly intact.
I thought, "Okami's in trouble," but
dude, it's way beyond that.
It's way too intense.
Do you have a moment?
Yes, what is it?
Yamato Takeru built
Yamato Takeru built
a barrier to prepare for the invasion of the Emishi.
And that was located in
Kasumigaseki.
In other words, I think Yamato Takeru
means "bureaucrat."
Yamato Takeru is Mr. Mikami?
No, it's not. But
Is that the end of your story? No, not yet.
This Hirakawa Gate
This Hirakawa Gate
is located directly opposite
the Sakurada Gate in Kasumigaseki.
It's said to be the back gate of Edo Castle.
In other words, many people entered Rintoku
through the back door. I see. And, "Rintoku is the beautiful land."
This is a parody of Yamato Takeru's death poem.
Originally, it was "Yamato is the beautiful land."
In other words, Yamato is a very good country.
And this "mahoroba," if you write it in kanji
And this "mahoroba," if you write it in kanji
Have you noticed?
The former chairman's name
these characters are read as "Masahide."
(Tsukada) About Vice-Minister Takizawa's visit to Rintoku
Makino-kun, would you accompany him?
Yes, I'd be happy to.
Wow, but still, it's amazing.
The Vice-Minister is visiting.
That's how much attention this high school is getting.
The way local residents gather at the cultural festival is also amazing.
It seems so.
Takizawa really favored Mikami-kun.
Absolutely
don't embarrass him.
don't embarrass him.
Understood.
I bought them. Thank you.
Ah, thank you.
Sensei.
The dummy proposal has been officially approved.
I see. That's good.
However, the school will be checking it the day before.
Well, I figured that would happen.
Shinonome-san spoke with each member of the class individually?
Shinonome-san spoke with each member of the class individually?
Yes.
How did it go?
Those who aren't participating
said they acknowledge the freedom of those who are.
Also, a few new people will be participating.
I see.
This is the actual proposal for what we're doing.
It's a good theme.
"Looking at the World Through Textbooks."
I like it.
I was struck by what Kurayoshi said.
Japanese people
tend to blur the theme right away.
A theme is created to return to it again and again.
Like "the power to live."
Like "the power to live."
Yes.
If you're going to make it a pillar of the national curriculum guidelines
it's such a weighty phrase that you'd have to completely redo the content.
It's a serious phrase.
But you're patching it together
and trying to somehow make it work.
That's why it's becoming so blurry.
I feel attacked.
I want the Ministry of Education guys to hear this.
That's why I'll work hard so that doesn't happen.
This is the progress chart. Could you take a look?
Okay.
Ah, I think it's a good idea, but
if it were me, I'd
do it like this.
Sensei.
Please lure the mice into the trap.
Roger.
Is this good here? Yes, that's good there.
(Kurayoshi) Alright, alright, alright. Nice, nice, nice.
Can I help? Oh, we'd love that!
(Staff) Person number 133.
Yes.
Ms. Mayama Yuzuru will not be having a visit.
Um, what should I do?
(Staff) We'll have to confirm her intentions by letter.
(Staff) We'll have to confirm her intentions by letter.
(Kanzaki) Are you able to have visits?
You can't live in your old house anymore, right?
(Yuko) It's okay.
I was planning on moving somewhere closer to here anyway.
I told you to forget about it, didn't I?
I can't, so I'm struggling.
I
turned 18 yesterday.
I see.
I should have a grown-up face.
Yuzuru-san killed someone.
Yuzuru-san killed someone.
But I
in a sense, did the same thing.
Using words
I killed someone's heart.
Forgetting that
I can't live like that.
Please tell me the truth.
There is no truth.
Yes, there is. You're just hiding it.
(Train whistle and running sound)
(Train whistle and running sound)
(Katagiri) Haa
(Katagiri) "World Textbooks".
Haa.
Haa.
Well
This should be okay.
Principal, let's go to the next one.
I'll go take a look for a bit. Please.
How was it?
It passed. (Cheers)
Well then
"Plan Okami" is a go!
"Plan Okami" is a go!
Let's go! Let's do it!
(Isshiki) "Plan Okami"? That's right!
The students are working hard.
They love you, don't they?
Yeah.
I'm loved.
It's frustrating, but (Isshiki) Heh heh.
(Yoshikawa) Ah, it's Mizobata.
It's okay.
They're doing it properly.
Huh? Oh, damn
Oh, Chief Mizobata, you were here?
Mr. Mikami. Yes.
It seems Vice-Minister Takizawa is busy today.
Please no meeting.
Understood.
Understood.
(Mizobata) Today, we have with us Vice-Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology
Mr. Yuichiro Takizawa.
(Applause)
(Takizawa) Well, congratulations
on holding the Rintoku Festival.
Well, this cultural festival
even though it's a high school cultural festival
has a high level of creativity and is
(Jigen) As expected. "Plan Okami" is a huge success.
(Jigen) As expected. "Plan Okami" is a huge success.
That's right. Since it's Mizobata
he'll definitely check it in the morning
(Shinonome's father) Oh.
Dad, you were able to come.
I finally got permission from the hospital.
Thank you.
He seemed to be really looking forward to it.
First, I want my dad and Mr. Mikami to see it.
(Takizawa) Is it all handmade? Yes, that's right.
(Takizawa) Is it all handmade? Yes, that's right.
Ha ha, amazing. (Kodai) Everyone
has been lining up since early this morning.
I've always wanted a high school that is this integrated into the community.
Ah, ha ha
Oh, right, Mikami-kun is at Rintoku, isn't he?
At Rintoku, participation from third-year students is generally not allowed, but
Mr. Mikami's class really wanted to do it.
Oh? What kind of exhibit are they doing?
(Makino) It's called "World Textbooks."
(Takizawa) Oh? I'll have to take a look. Ha ha ha.
That's great, ha ha.
That's great, ha ha.
Wow, so many people.
(Tominaga) Wakui is a somewhat famous influencer in the quiz world, and
she reached out to me. Now the school can't stop us.
Mr. Mikami, Mr. Mikami.
Yes. Vice Minister Takizawa is
apparently going to come here. I'm really surprised.
I can't believe there's a way to convey textbook screening like this.
Huh? Textbook screening?
The textbook screening is very well done.
I'll introduce you to everyone. Huh? Hahaha
Mr. Mikami, isn't temporarily suspending the exhibit impossible?
I am terribly sorry.
Apparently, there was equipment trouble, so this exhibit will be temporarily suspended
The equipment trouble has been fixed!
You!
(Takizawa) Mikami-kun.
Vice Minister Takizawa, it's been a while.
I heard you were at Rintoku, so I was looking forward to it.
Yes. I appreciate you letting me
fully experience the atmosphere here.
fully experience the atmosphere here.
(Takizawa) Fufufu. Is that so? Is that so?
Well then, keep up the good work.
Yes. Vice Minister, isn't it almost time?
If you'd like, please take a look. Makino-san, do we have time?
If it's just for a little while, please. This way.
Then
(Takizawa) Hello.
(In unison) Hello.
Oh hah
Textbook Screening.
Do you know this word?
What does this mean?
(Quiz sound effect)
(Quiz sound effect)
Does it come up?
(Takizawa) No.
(Presses the NO button)
Textbook Screening is
before textbooks created by private companies are published
What is this? Whether the content is appropriate
Ah, well, um whether it conforms
to the national curriculum guidelines
is a system where the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology screens it.
Textbook Screening
is it necessary?
(Quiz sound effect)
(Presses the YES button) Of course, right, Vice Minister?
(Takizawa) Hmm.
Ah, Sensei! (Camera shutter sound)
Sensei (Continuous camera shutter sound)
I'm Kanzaki from the press club.
What are your thoughts on seeing this exhibit?
Kanzaki-kun. Aah!
I don't mind.
I don't mind.
May I ask you a question? (Mizobata) Hey, Kanzaki-kun.
(Kanzaki) I'm asking the Vice Minister.
(Presses the record button) Can I ask for your thoughts?
Not only the content, but the way they've used digital technology
to add an event-like quality to the exhibit
has greatly impressed me.
has greatly impressed me.
And the students' (Whispering) What are you thinking?
(Takizawa) creativity and passion
What is the meaning of this? Mr. Mikami.
Although I wasn't aware of the content, I apologize.
This is an educational setting. Please refrain from Kasumigaseki jargon.
Yes. (Yamazoe) What is this?
I'm sorry. Whoa, this is the one from before
(Yamazoe) I'm sorry, this.
"I am he who swings the Kusanagi sword"
"at those who enter through the Hirakawa Gate."
"I am he who swings the Kusanagi sword"
"Your corruption will soon be exposed."
"Yamato Takeru."
(Turns on the switch)
(Operating sound)
Okami, everyone's waiting.
Ah. Is it okay for me to go?
Please, go ahead.
Please, go ahead.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!

(Shinonome) Sensei. Hmm?
I think I understand.
Huh? Personal is political.
Huh? Personal is political.
The personal is
political.
That's right.
That's why the national curriculum guidelines
might have to protect the peace of families as well.

☎(Makino) Good work on the cultural festival.
Good work on the inspection.
☎There's something I want to tell you.

☎Now that you've jumped right into the middle of education reform
☎You can do whatever you want. However
☎Isn't delving into the textbook screening a bit too reckless?
What's the problem?
☎The fact that the Vice Minister was there, obviously.
Since the Cabinet Bureau of Personnel Affairs was established
personnel affairs for bureaucrats are controlled by Nagata-cho.
☎You should know that, Mikami. Is that a threat?
☎Ha? Of course not.
You can do whatever you want.
But I won't forgive you if you lay a hand on the students.

(Hangs up the phone)
You heard that.
What's gotten into you, Mikami-kun?
You need to be careful.
You might get tripped up.
Still, this is bad, Makino-kun.
I didn't say you could talk about personnel affairs.
Because you were completely set up.
Using people No, no.
It's also Makino-kun's responsibility that you couldn't stop it.

Yes, so
I won't let this end here.
I won't let Mikami do as he pleases. Agreed?
Do as you please.
《If I don't do it》
《I'll stop being myself.》
I'm saying we're both guilty!
