School-Live! (Gakkou Gurashi!) (2015) s01e07 Episode Script
A Letter
1 There are more of them again The flow of the river is ceaseless, yet the water is never the same.
The foam that floats on stagnant pools, now vanishing, now forming, are not long in their duration.
So, too, it is with man and his dwellings in the world.
They are the blink of an eye.
Mii-kun! What's up? Staying late again, Yuki-senpai? Yeah, classic literature is hard for me.
I actually really enjoy it.
Do you want some help? Really? I can't believe you understand this complex stuff.
An Account of My Hut, huh? My friend really liked this.
Isn't this awesome, Mii-kun? What is? I mean, this is a letter someone wrote a long time ago, right? About 800 years ago, yes.
It's more of an essay than a letter, though.
800 years! The feelings of someone from that long ago are still getting through to us.
Letters are amazing! I can see how excited you are, Senpai.
Okay Let's get started.
School Living Club #7 A Letter The wind is so brutal at night.
I know.
We're okay for now, but we'll have to be ready before winter hits.
Winter It doesn't feel real.
Is Yuki already in bed? She was studying until late today, so she's sound asleep.
I see.
Why don't we get some sleep, too? Hey, do you ever think this is all a dream? That tomorrow we'll wake up in our normal old school? I have that dream every night.
Yuki-chan.
Yuuri-san and I decided something.
You and Rii-san? Yes.
Something really fun.
How can anything be fun now? We'll start a club.
All of us, together.
A club? Yes.
We'll create the School Living Club.
Yuki-senpai? Time to get up, Senpai.
Morning, Mii-kun.
I had a scary dream.
What kind of dream? I forgot.
What the heck? Breakfast is ready.
The other two are already there.
I see, I see.
Wait, what about Megu-nee? Um Oh, good morning, Megu-nee.
That should do it.
The School Living Club will do its best again today, Megu-nee.
This looks delicious! Let's eat! Yum! The gardening club's onions are so tasty! It was nice of them to share, wasn't it? Yeah! The udon is so delicious.
Uh Huh? As usual, she's inhaling it so fast, she isn't listening.
Come on, you're not Taroumaru.
Slow down! Taroumaru No, Taroumaru has better table manners.
It's amazing what you can store without refrigeration nowadays.
The udon's all springy! Another win for science.
Yes.
We can eat hot udon thanks to the solar panels and power storage units.
Most schools aren't equipped with those.
All finished! Rii-san, I want seconds! Sorry, Yuki-chan, we don't have any more.
We had to ration the stuff we brought back from the club outing.
Oh That was such a fun outing, though! We got to make friends with Mii-kun! Th-Thank you.
That was a rough time.
It sure was.
Coming home with the four of us and Taroumaru crammed in that little car I fell asleep right away, so I don't remember the ride.
Yeah.
I was driving, Rii-san was up front with me, and Taroumaru was bouncing all over the back seat.
I can't believe you two slept through all that.
Huh? It was just us two in the back? That's weird I know the car seated four Yeah Me, Rii-san, Kurumi-chan, Mii-kun, and Megu-nee The four of us Huh? Senpai What about Megu-nee? O-Oh, you were asleep, so maybe you didn't hear, but Megu-nee's house was nearby, so she walked home instead of riding with us.
Yes, that's right.
She did? Yeah! Right? Yes Yuki-chan! I'll go ask Megu-nee! I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it.
It's no one's fault.
Yuki-senpai She can't keep going like that.
Miki-san? I realize her smile is what keeps everyone going, but it's no excuse Yeah I'm sure Megu-nee feels the same way.
Megu-nee You're here, right, Megu-nee? It's okay.
No matter how faint my presence is, I'm not going anywhere.
But I get scared sometimes.
There are things I can't remember clearly, and I All people's memories are vague.
That's why you need to do things like talk to people and keep a journal.
That makes memories become more tangible.
At least, that's what I think.
Even if the person it's about goes away I'll do my best.
I'll do my best, Megu-nee.
I'm back! Hey.
Welcome back.
Mii-kun! I told you, physical contact isn't But you seemed kinda lonely, Mii-kun.
I don't know what you mean.
Mii-kun, you smell kinda funny! Hey! That's rude! No, no, it's just Taroumaru.
There, there.
What's going on with you? Taroumaru doesn't want to take a bath.
I see.
Then I'll give him one.
Hey, wait! Come to think of it, humans and dogs see the world completely differently.
Really? Dogs don't see color like we do.
They live in a world of sepia.
But instead, they can see at night, and they can even see part of the ultraviolet spectrum.
We can't detect the smells they can, and they can't tell what color our flowers are.
Wow I didn't know that.
Gimme my hat back! Somehow, though, doesn't it seem like those two see things identically? It does.
Right? I know we don't see things the same way Taroumaru, come on! Wait up! Yuki-chan! You okay? Ouch Senpai, please don't overdo these things.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
What are these? Are they Megu-nee's things? What a mess.
I'll help.
Thank you.
You're a member of the club now.
You don't have to thank me.
Okay Look! Hey, look at this! Why don't we write a letter? Writing letters is fine and all, but how will we send them? Oh, right.
The post office is outside the school.
You didn't think of that? Then why don't we just mail them straight from school? When you think of mail, you think of carrier pigeons.
And where are we going to get a carrier pigeon? We'll go catch one now! But how are we going to catch one? With this.
You're gonna mince it?! Nah, I'll hit it with the flat side, like this! And this! Maybe this won't work And this! And this! And this! She'd never land a hit.
Balloons If we're sending letters, we can use these! Aren't those from the test of courage? They won't float if you blow them up with air.
Oh, dear.
Balloons If only we had some helium Oh, there might be an old tank that the scuba club used.
We had a scuba club? A long time ago, yes.
I'll go check it out.
Wait.
You can't carry an air tank by yourself.
I'll go with her.
Rii-san Mii-kun But I'm a club member, too.
Okay.
Thank you.
Sure.
Me, too! Yuki-chan, why don't you write your letter? Oh, yeah.
I'm gonna write a really good one! Do you think there's anyone out there to receive our letters? I do.
There's no way the whole human race has gone extinct.
Y-Yeah There's always that one in a million chance.
I'm counting on that.
Right! What's wrong? Writing an actual letter is kind of embarrassing.
My handwriting is so messy.
It's okay.
Let me see.
What're you doing? Oh, paper dolls? How cute! Yuki-chan, if you picked up a balloon on the side of the road, and it had a letter attached, what would you think? I'd be surprised! And excited! Would you think the sender's writing was messy? No, I'd be happy just to get the letter! You see? Yeah! We're back! Here we are.
We found the helium tank.
We brought traps, too.
Haven't given up on the carrier pigeon idea, huh? Nope! C'mon, Mii-kun, you write a letter too! Yes, yes.
Hey, Yuki, check this out.
Huh? What's up? This trap will knock a pigeon dead in an instant! I don't think we want to kill them Okay, I'm off to catch a pigeon.
Good luck! Let's move the tank to the wall.
Yeah, good idea! Sakura Mii-kun? Oh Yes? What're you gonna write? Uh, well What should I write? Kyaah Hold it! What should I write, though? Anything you want.
Write about yourself, your plans for the future, things you like The future, huh? If I don't decide between college and work soon, Megu-nee'll yell at me.
I think any teacher would, not just her.
True We'll have to leave this school someday, won't we? Indeed.
Graduation That's it! My Dream so many things, can't write them all Let's write about what we want to do after graduation! Our dreams for the future? Yeah! And we'll talk about how we're happily working toward making them come true! My Dream so many things, can't write them all.
When I graduate Can't sleep? There's a lot of activity around the entrance.
I guess they don't like to be out in the rain, even in that state.
I found this earlier today.
Sakura "Sakura" Isn't that Megu-nee.
May I have that, please? It may be useful to us at some point.
Please.
Thank you.
I know we'll all get out of here someday.
Yes.
You think the rain will let up soon? I'm sure of it.
All right! It's finally time.
Good luck, Hatoko-chan.
Hey, who're you calling Hatoko-chan? Her! She's Hatonishiki Hatoko-chan.
No! His name is Arnault! But I wanna name it, too! I caught it! Hatoko-chan is cuter! He's totally an Arnault! Please stop, you two! She has a "Hatoko" face! Speak up, Arnault! What if we compromise and call it Arnault Hatonishiki II? Oh, fine.
Official Name Arnault Hatonishiki II Okay! Your name is Arnault Hatonishiki II.
Where does the "II" come from? Okay, Arnault Hatonishiki II, take flight! On the count of three, okay? Ready One! Two! Three! To Kei Kei, how are you? I've found a new place to live, and I've made new friends.
I'm doing just fine.
Taroumaru is well, too.
It's all thanks to them.
Is just staying alive enough? Yes.
It's a great thing to be alive.
The dew may fall and the flower remain, or the flower may wither before the dew is gone.
What was that? A line my friend was fond of.
I see.
I hope it reaches her.
Whatever path I walk, I pray that someday, I'll meet you again along the way.
We are happy Next time!! Yuki Taroumaru Where do you think Arnault is now? If he's a second generation, maybe America? Whoa, go Arnault! He's a Hatonishiki, after all.
You know the family?! Next time on Episode 8 of SCHOOL-LIVE, "Future.
