Kota, it's terrible!
Your brother
《(Mikami) A friend told me,》
《"Your brother
has been acting strange lately."》
《(Kota)
I feel sorry that I'm making Ko
《go through such things.》
Don't come in, you guys!
Brother! Brother!
Don't look
Ko-kun, don't look!
(Kanzaki) I'm
okay now.
So next,
it's your turn
(Isshiki) During menstruation,
you tend to be unstable, so
it wouldn't be strange
if various things happened.
(Koreeda) But you can buy
menstrual products at the store, and
there are some installed
in the restrooms, right?
Even so, I was concerned that she's
been coming to get them every time lately.
《(Isshiki) I'm going to
the faculty room for a bit, but》
《if someone comes, can you tell
them I'll be right back?》
Could it be that she couldn't buy them?
I think that's a possibility.
You're frozen like a Jizo statue,
are you okay?
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
I was raised with only brothers, so
(Isshiki) If you're going to be
a teacher, it's an unavoidable issue.
But still, is it really
that expensive that you can't buy them?
The expensive ones are about 500 yen?
Period poverty
I wonder if that's it.
What's Shiiba-san's family situation?
Her parents died in a
traffic accident when she was little,
and now she's being raised by her
paternal grandparents who run a wagashi shop.
It wouldn't be strange if her
family situation had changed drastically, right?
I was careless. I'll arrange
a meeting right away.
(Knock)
(Isshiki) Yes.
(Mizobata) Excuse me.
Is this where you were?
Is something wrong?
What does this mean?
(Anzai) Isn't this bad?
(Hatano) Huh!?
Huh? Ah
(Kagawa) What does this mean?
(Haruyama) Huh? What is this?
What does this mean?
Why?
I don't know.
(Haruyama) Is this real?
I don't know.
(Footsteps)
(Kawashima) Oh, Okami.
That's something that
happened over 20 years ago.
(Sakurai) But to write something like this
There's no value in dealing
with such gossip articles.
(Chime)
Can I start the class?
(Shinonome) Are you okay,
sensei, with them writing something like this?
It doesn't concern you.
I
can't forgive this.
It's related
because it concerns us.
Well then, today
we'll continue from yesterday.
Page 181.
(Mikami starts writing on the board)
(Tsubuki) Do you think this is real?
(Makino) I wonder. Bureaucrats,
it's only at times like this that
they get
the spotlight.
(Tsubuki) Seriously.
I can feel the public's desire
for them to be
bad guys.
They get criticized but
their work is never evaluated. That's bureaucrats.
The number of people who want to be them
is bound to decrease.
The keyword in the
course of study is "the power to live,"
but the number of teachers
quitting and children committing suicide is steadily increasing.
The precious keyword
has become
a black joke.
Of course they'll be criticized.
Are you feeling okay?
(Shiiba) Why
do I have to be asked about menstruation
by a male teacher?
Even to my female friends,
it's hard to talk about such things.
Do you understand that?
That I
You hide everything about yourself,
Huh?
And you're always
telling people to talk. That's violence.
(Locking)
Ouch!
(Tominaga) Let's fight!
ROUND 1 FIGH
On, was crying the whole time during class.
Did you notice?
Is that why I was called out?
That's right. I'm going to lecture you, so be prepared.
Do you know why she was crying?
Agh, geez!
Ugh! Ugh!
ZANGIEF WIN
Hahaha
As expected.
Think.
Think. With your own head.
What? All of a sudden.
That's okay. I'm not wrong.
What's the problem?
If we're talking about a teacher and student, this is perfectly correct.
But if we're talking about people, what about that?
We're stark naked.
If we were wearing clothes,
we wouldn't be able to answer the difficult questions Okami throws at us.
Everyone is fighting defenseless and naked.
Do you understand that?
But even so,
why are you the only one
wearing steel armor?
You have a way with words.
This is different.
Everyone understands.
Seeing that article,
everyone understands what Okami
was feeling when she told us to think.
There isn't anyone who doesn't understand.
But saying it doesn't concern you, while wearing your armor,
trying to act cool? It doesn't make any sense.
Please face it properly.
The reason it doesn't feel like something that happened 20 years ago
is probably because of Okami herself.
(Tominaga resumes the game)
(Nakaoka) This is troublesome. If something like this happens, then Mr. Kodai will again
(Tsukada) That's right. Just when the Mayama Yuzuru case
was starting to die down.
What is Mr. Kodai actually saying?
Well, that is (Nakaoka) Don't tell me
he's saying he's refusing to do the matter of ex-Chief Cabinet Secretary Higashimoto's granddaughter?
He's starting to refuse it?
No way
Well, it's not that
That's exactly what it is. With the media prowling around the school,
he said it's impossible to do it.
That's troubling.
Are you sure it's okay to anger Mr. Higashi?
We don't know what will happen to next year's subsidies.
That would be troubling.
Right? None of the three of us here
would benefit from that.
I understand. I will persuade him somehow.
Yes. Ah
Yes.
((Kota) Dinosaurs, you know)
((Kota) have small brains for their size)
((Kota) so after their tail gets stepped on, it takes about 10 minutes)
((Kota) to go: "Gyaaaah!")
((Kota) Apparently)
((Kota laughs))
((Kota) Doesn't that sound like Japan right now?)
The theory has changed.
It seems they can move pretty quickly now.
Brother.
Please leave the Kodai matter to me.
You're dependable.
Shall we go, then? Do you know a good place?
Yes, actually, I have a shop I frequent
(Camera shutter sounds)
Shii no Ha It's temporarily closed, isn't it?
Do you happen to know the reason for that?
I heard the owner's dementia has gotten worse.
Ah, I see. What about his wife?
Hmm Well, let's see.
Was it around summer, I wonder
His wife collapsed.
General Visiting Hours: 2nd Floor
Those with ticket number 77, please go to the 2nd floor tower.
(Yuzuru) I don't want to be written about.
Ever.
I've been pretending not to see it
the inferiority complex I have about my father,
and the unfounded feeling of superiority
I have over the people around me.
Mr. Mikami saw through all of that.
Me too
and you too
we can't go back anymore.
(Kanzaki) Is it okay to leave things as they are?
It's already
Too late.
(Kanzaki) Even if it's late
Even though it's late
I have to write it.
(Footsteps)
Long time no see.
(Sonoko) Kota, who is this person?
Huh?
I'm sorry for calling you to a place like this.
No, it's okay.
Every weekend?
As much as possible.
Kota, who is she?
Isshiki Mayumi-san. Do you remember?
I'm sorry.
Has it been going on for a long time?
What do you mean? Because…
Kota is…
Shall we go talk over there?
Are you okay? What do you mean?
Are there times when you recognize Takashi?
No, not at all.
I see.
I'm used to it now.
You mustn't get used to it.
I think.
I have no choice but to get used to it. It's been like this for over 20 years.
Kota is awful.
What is it all of a sudden?
I went to Sonoko-san's private room a little while ago.
It's like a jungle, right?
(Isshiki) Even though it's been 20 years since he died,
he's monopolizing the hearts of so many people,
and even made it into the news.
He's such an attention seeker.
I think it's about time he stopped.
That way of saying it
Isn't Mayumi-san the same?
(Isshiki) That's true.
((Isshiki) Kota isn't wrong.)
((Kota) Don't give me platitudes.)
But Takashi is
amazing, isn't he?
The school is starting to move.
What are you saying now, after Mayumi-san egged him on?
((Isshiki) Mikami Takashi-kun?)
Even so, he's too brave, standing in front of the Ministry of Education.
Saying come to our school and expose the darkness
Knowing there are students who are suffering,
I thought I couldn't just stand by and watch.
The Ministry of Education, Rinto, and then Nagatacho
It's certain they're connected,
but we still can't get any proof.
Well, but I'll definitely reveal the whole picture.
You too.
Huh?
The fact that you called me here, I wonder if you're trying to move forward?
(Isshiki) It'll be a little easier if you warm it up.
(Shiiba) Thank you.
(Knock)
(Isshiki) Yes. (Chigira) Excuse me.
Chigira.
I heard you're feeling sick again.
Yeah, I'm okay. It's just period pain.
But it's been going on constantly lately.
Yeah
Sorry, Chigira.
Could you put this on for me?
Yeah, of course.
(Shiiba) Thank you. (Chigira) Here we go.
(Vibrator notification sound)
(Chigira) Where should I put it?
(Shiiba) I want you to put it on my lower back.
(Chigira) Lower back? Okay. (Shiiba) Yeah.
(Chigira) How's this? About here? (Shiiba) Yeah, thank you.
(Chime and door opens)
I'm going to talk about my brother.
It was a story I should have told.
But I brushed it off.
I want to have some time.
The cause of death was suicide due to protesting against the school.
My brother, who was in the broadcasting club,
broadcasted his protest against the school
over the school's public address system, and then
was electrocuted to death by activating a device he made himself.
What do you all think about my brother's actions?
(Wakui) What was the reason?
Reason?
The article didn't write about the content of his protest.
Jigen-kun.
You're gathering information, right? You know, don't you?
(Jigen) The content of the protest was
((Kota) This time,)
((Kota) when progressing from the junior high school to the senior high school,)
((Kota) the school)
((Kota) rejected students with developmental disabilities.)
((Kota) Even though there was no problem with their test scores,)
((Kota) they probably excluded them because they were difficult to deal with.)
((Kota) excluded.)
((Kota) This is a serious human rights issue)
((Kota) and violates)
((Kota) our school's motto of realizing an equal society.)
(Jigen) Mikami Kota-san
conducted a petition campaign,
but at that time, the term "developmental disability" wasn't common,
he couldn't get the understanding of his classmates,
and he seems to have become invisible in his class.
His mental health deteriorated,
and one day, he took an extreme action that no one would have ever considered.
((Kota) I)
((Kota) protest the school)
((Kota) that created this situation.)
((Kota) I protest the cold indifference)
((Kota) to me, who raised my voice.)
((Kota) I protest the society)
((Kota) that created such an environment.)
((Kota) With my death,)
((Kota) I)
Alright!
Everyone's eating!
Alright!
Okay, let's go!
Let's go! Hey!
(Muraoka) Please stop.
Want to eat?
Let's eat.
Okami.
What?
I met Yuzuru-san the other day.
You were able to meet him.
Well that's all, though.
How was it?
As always.
But
A little
We talked.
I see.
Well then
(Jigen) Hey, Lupin,
Kota Mikami's profile.
(AI Lupin's voice) Loading
Huh? What are you doing?
I was trying to erase
information related to that.
Erase it?
Yes, including things on the internet.
I'm trying to erase
as much as I can.
When you look at the internet,
you really understand how
fallible humans are.
Yeah, that's right.
Inside the internet,
opinions that
float up and disappear
kill many lives
and hearts.
That's the real
silent killer.
So this is the real
How long has the Internet
been around in Japan?
It's been about 30 years since
ordinary people like us started using it easily.
(Tominaga) Wow,
and this is the presence it has?
Isn't the world being
taken over too much?
It's convenient.
It's convenient, and I can't
imagine a world without it, but
That's true.
That's right.
Before erasing it,
Hey Lupin,
generate a picture of Kota Mikami
as a 39-year-old.
Roger.
(Tominaga) What is this?
It's just an older Okami.
Hey Lupin,
Kota Mikami profile,
all delete.
Completely delete?
(Jigen) Alright, alright
Alright!
What's up, Jigen?
What's up, Tominaga?
I don't need it.
(Kodai) You went all the way to Tokyo
and in the end, you're asking me?
Is this a child's errand?
However, the budget for
next year is coming up soon,
So what if it's coming up soon?
Well, former Chief Cabinet Secretary
Higashimoto has tremendous influence on the budget,
Director Kodai should know that, too.
It's because you have that greedy
dog-like face
that people take advantage of you.
Huh?
(Kodai) If it becomes known
that this school is doing something illegal,
what will happen to the
Rinto brand we've built up?
Well, but
Both Higashi-san and Tsukada-san
want this
brand of ours!
We have to make them realize
that it's not that easy to get!
We have to make them realize that!
Please become someone worthy
of Rinto.
Mizobata-san.
(Footsteps)
(Yuko) I'm surprised you
knew how to get here.
I heard it from Yuzuru-san.
You were able to visit him.
Yes.
Yuzuru gave me
the address from the letter.
Did he read
the letters I sent him?
No
Um
I see.
(Kanzaki) He's stubborn, isn't he?
(Yuko) He is.
(Kanzaki) He's similar to Saejima-sensei.
Haven't you been able to meet?
It's okay.
Huh?
I think he must
want to meet you.
No way. Do you suddenly gain
adult kindness like that when you turn 20?
Oh, no. That's a spec
that was originally installed.
I just wasn't showing it.
Why did you
become a teacher?
I told you, I'm a former teacher.
(Kanzaki) But your
heart hasn't quit, has it?
(Kanzaki) Huh?
Because it's a job where you can
keep watching the moment
someone changes.
And I
took that from Saejima-sensei, didn't I?
Mikami-sensei
is a very good teacher, isn't she?
If you meet her,
you'll definitely regret it.
Why do you say that?
I don't like you very much.
Tell me
the truth.
If I talk about it,
I won't even be
a former teacher anymore.
Welcome.
Oh, where's Nakaoka-san today?
He's not here today.
That's too bad.
Here you go.
Don't go outside!
Come inside!
(Shiiba's grandfather) Let me do it!
Ah
A highball, please.
Certainly.
Haaah
(Shiiba's grandfather) There are customers, see?
Ah, haah
Been closed for a long time
Shiiba-san also has several
part-time jobs, it seems.
And she's also doing caregiving
in between.
We weren't able to get
a good hearing at all.
However, this is not
a situation we can overlook.
That's right, yes, I think so.
We should take appropriate action.
Teachers
It's really an important job, isn't it?
What's wrong? Why all of a sudden?
After hearing Mikami-sensei's story today,
I was wondering
If Mikami-sensei had been there at that time,
maybe she could have
stopped your brother
I started thinking that.
I don't think that way.
But, I wonder if that's true.
No matter what,
I have to protect
Shiiba-san's life.
(Phone ringing)
Yes, this is Mikami from Rinto Academy.
Yes.
Huh?
I'll be right there.
If you could please
not contact the police
Shiiba Haruno is
my student.
The time to see things clearly has come, hasn't it?
