**[00:01] Y**
Thanks for the meal!
**[00:03] Y**
Did I eat too much for breakfast?
**[00:05] A**
Fall makes you hungry.
**[00:07] A**
And you can't stop eating Ruriko-san's cooking!
**[00:10] A**
Huh?
**[00:13] A**
How cute!
**[00:14] A**
Kuri's imitating the tsukimi
dumplings we made!
**[00:17] Y**
Nice, Kuri...
**[00:20] R**
That looks fun!
**[00:22] R**
Let me play, Kuri...
**[00:24] R**
Let's make a castle now.
**[00:25] A**
I want to join in!
**[00:28] Y**
Me, too!
**[00:29] Y**
We have to go to school, though.
**[00:32] Gu**
What you guys doing—
**[00:35] Gi**
Strike!
**[00:37] Gu**
What are you doing, you old hag?
**[00:39] Gi**
Who are you calling an "old hag"?!
**[00:42] Y**
Kuri!
**[00:45] A**
Now, you've done it...
**[00:46] Gu**
You'll pay for that.
**[00:52] R**
What a sight.
**[00:55] ---**
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
**[00:57] ---**
Chirpity-chirp! Chirp!
**[00:58] Gu**
Another quiet day, chirp.
**[00:59] Gu**
Another peaceful day, chirp.
**[01:01] Gu**
Nothing out of the ordinary, chirp!

**[02:42] Gu**
Almost being late is rare for you, Inaba.
**[02:47] Y**
I got... involved in a mud
fight this morning...
**[02:53] Y**
Damn, I'm late?!
**[02:55] Gu**
Okay, time's up!
**[02:58] Gu**
Chiaki-sensei?
**[02:59] Gu**
Come on, run...
**[03:01] Gu**
We're saved!
**[03:03] Gu**
Thanks, Chiaki-sensei.
**[03:06] Gu**
If you want to be grateful, wake up earlier.
**[03:08] Gu**
It will make our lives easier.
**[03:11] Gu**
Stop it!
**[03:14] Gi**
All right, I'll read it.
**[03:16] Gi**
This is one of my favorite Bible verses.
**[03:19] Gi**
Do any of you know it?
**[03:21] Gi**
You don't have to understand the meaning.
**[03:23] Gi**
The important thing is that
you hear the English.
**[03:27] Gi**
"No temptation has overtaken you,
but such has come into man.
**[03:33] Gi**
And God is faithful.
**[03:35] Gi**
He will not allow you to be tempted
beyond what you're able.
**[03:39] Gi**
But with the temptation, he will
provide a way of escape, also."
**[03:44] Y**
* Chiaki and Aoki are kind*
* of opposite types, huh?*
**[03:49] Y**
*Chiaki's popular with rebellious boys,*
**[03:51] Y**
*and Aoki's popular with studious girls.*
**[03:55] Y**
* Being popular with people of your*
* own sex requires a special charm.*
**[03:59] Y**
*Well, either way, it's good to be popular.*
**[04:09] Y**
Yamamoto?
**[04:11] Gi**
How did that test go?
**[04:12] Gi**
Awful.
**[04:14] Gi**
I guess I did okay.
**[04:16] Gi**
Seriously?
**[04:17] Y**
She's...
**[04:19] Y**
Hey, Yama—
**[04:21] Gi**
Inaba-kun,
**[04:22] Gi**
could you come with me?
**[04:25] Y**
Sure.
**[04:33] Gi**
I heard your parents passed away when
you were in middle school, right?
**[04:38] Gi**
That must have been hard.
**[04:41] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[04:45] Gi**
You really are working hard.
**[04:47] Gi**
I'm sure your parents are happy!
**[04:51] ---**
R-Right...
**[04:53] Y**
*What is this?*
**[04:55] Y**
* You aren't a part of my life,*
* so why are you saying this?*
**[04:58] Gi**
I'm not your homeroom teacher,
**[05:00] Gi**
but I am your English teacher.
**[05:03] Gi**
If anything comes up, please talk to me.
**[05:05] Gi**
I'll always listen to you.
**[05:08] ---**
S-Sure...
**[05:09] Y**
Thank you.
**[05:13] Gi**
You aren't the only one who's suffering.
**[05:16] Gi**
Many people suffer and work hard, anyway.
**[05:19] Gi**
You aren't alone!
**[05:24] Gi**
Let's do our best together!
**[05:30] Gi**
I'm back.
**[05:32] Y**
*I don't really think of myself as suffering.*
**[05:38] Y**
*I don't know why, but I feel mad!*
**[05:41] F**
Master?
**[05:46] T**
Inaba!
**[05:48] T**
Listen to me!
**[05:49] Y**
What's up?
**[05:51] T**
I was talking with Chiaki-chan in the hall.
**[05:53] T**
And Aoki-sensei came...
**[05:57] T**
It's true, Chiaki-chan!
**[05:59] T**
Inaba's so funny!
**[06:01] T**
It's fun to play with him—
**[06:02] A**
Tashiro-san?
**[06:03] T**
Y-Yes?
**[06:04] A**
You shouldn't do that.
**[06:06] A**
Call him "Chiaki-sensei" like
you're supposed to.
**[06:11] ---**
O-Okay...
**[06:12] A**
And, Chiaki-sensei?
**[06:15] A**
Please stop touching the
female students without reason.
**[06:18] T**
N-No, Aoki-sensei! Chiaki-chan—
**[06:21] T**
I mean, Chiaki-sensei didn't do it.
I wrapped my arm around his!
**[06:25] T**
It isn't his fault!
**[06:27] A**
This isn't your fault, Tashiro-san.
**[06:30] A**
Chiaki-sensei is in the wrong
for not refusing to let you.
**[06:35] A**
As a teacher, if he'd cared about you,
**[06:37] A**
he should have rejected the gesture
more firmly. Isn't that right?
**[06:41] C**
Thanks for the speech.
**[06:43] T**
B-But...
**[06:45] A**
It's all right.
**[06:46] A**
You didn't know anything.
**[06:49] A**
It's we teachers who have to teach you.
**[06:52] A**
And let's all try to call male students
"-san," instead of "-kun."
**[06:57] A**
But make sure you definitely
use one or the other.
**[06:59] A**
That's how it works in the adult world.
**[07:02] A**
Once you're out there, you'll have trouble.
**[07:03] A**
So make it a habit now.
**[07:06] T**
Okay.
**[07:09] Gi**
What a great teacher!
**[07:12] Gi**
She really cares about us!
**[07:15] T**
Sakura, are you serious?
**[07:18] T**
I was really mad!
**[07:20] Gi**
Why?
**[07:21] T**
Wh-Why?
**[07:23] T**
I'm not really sure, but...
**[07:26] Gi**
Well, I'm sure she's just thinking about us.
**[07:32] Y**
But that doesn't necessarily mean
she really understands you.
**[07:37] T**
What do you mean?
**[07:38] Y**
In other words, you call me "Inaba."
**[07:42] Y**
But you use "-san" for older students
in the club or your boss at work.
**[07:46] T**
Of course. Even I do that.
**[07:49] Y**
She probably thought that you didn't.
**[07:53] T**
I see. That's why I...
**[07:55] Y**
She's concerned about you.
**[07:58] Y**
But Aoki only sees a part of you.
**[08:02] Y**
A part of us?
**[08:03] Y**
She only sees a part, but she
acts like she sees it all.
**[08:08] Y**
That's why you got mad.
**[08:11] Y**
*And me, too.*
**[08:13] Y**
*Without my parents, it's lonely and hard.*
**[08:16] Y**
*That's true.*
**[08:18] Y**
*But that doesn't mean I feel like my life is ruined.*
**[08:22] Y**
* But without talking with me,*
* without seeing anything,*
**[08:26] Y**
* Aoki decided how things were for*
* me, based on her own values.*
**[08:31] Y**
*That's what made me so mad.*
**[08:33] Y**
It's none of her business!
**[08:36] T**
That's great!
**[08:37] T**
If Aoki talks to me again,
that's what I'll say!
**[08:41] T**
That it's none of her business.
**[08:43] Gi**
That's great! Say it with a
big smile on your face!
**[08:46] Gi**
Very elegantly!
**[08:47] A**
How lively!
**[08:50] T**
A-Aoki-sensei...
**[08:53] A**
I was going to give this to Inaba-kun.
**[08:55] Y**
For me?
***SIGN***
**[08:56] Gi**
What is it? An English dictionary?
**[08:58] A**
It's the one I use.
**[09:01] A**
I thought it would help Inaba-kun
with his English studies.
**[09:05] Y**
No, I...
**[09:06] A**
It's fine.
**[09:07] A**
You probably don't have the money for
it, unlike an ordinary school book.
***SIGN***
**[09:12] A**
So just take it.
**[09:13] A**
Everyone, don't think I'm playing favorites.
**[09:17] A**
You all understand that Inaba-kun
is special, don't you?
**[09:21] A**
None of you are handicapped,
so let's support him together!
**[09:24] A**
Even Inaba-kun can do his best because
everyone is here for him, right?
**[09:28] A**
Bye. Good luck with your studies.
**[09:33] Y**
Sensei!
**[09:36] Y**
I'm not special, and I don't
feel handicapped!
**[09:47] A**
That's right! Hang in there!
**[09:57] T**
I-Inaba?
***SIGN***
**[10:00] Y**
Screw you!
**[10:02] Y**
Handicapped? Let's all support him?!
**[10:05] Y**
That's none of her business!
**[10:07] Y**
Damn it!
**[10:08] F**
Calm down, master!
**[10:11] F**
Your aura is fluctuating badly!
**[10:12] Y**
Shut up!
**[10:14] Y**
Damn it!
**[10:19] Gu**
You got something!
**[10:22] Y**
What's this?
***SIGN*** From Hase
**[10:25] Y**
Hase?
**[10:26] H**
*"Hey, Inaba.*
**[10:27] H**
*Doing well?*
**[10:28] H**
* I'm writing this in Germany,*
* at Lichtenstein Castle.*
**[10:33] H**
*When you touch the world's winds,*
**[10:35] H**
*you understand how small you really are.*
**[10:38] H**
*You should travel the world, too.*
**[10:41] H**
* I'll be back soon with presents,*
* so look forward to it.*
**[10:45] H**
*From Hase."*
**[10:46] Y**
Tch. You sure have it easy.
**[10:52] F**
You have finally calmed down?
**[10:55] F**
Now, then... What is this wonderful scent?
**[11:01] Gu**
Oh, you're back.
**[11:03] Gu**
Today, we're having grilled fall salmon
with vegetables and salmon roe bowls!
**[11:10] Y**
It looks great!
**[11:24] Gu**
At school, huh?
**[11:26] Gu**
It's good to be young!
**[11:27] Gu**
Just listening to you makes this old
salary man feel young again.
**[11:33] R**
Sato-san, why not be a student next?
**[11:36] Gu**
That's great!
**[11:37] Gu**
I've never been a high school student.
**[11:39] Y**
Want to come to my school?
**[11:41] Y**
We have lots of weird teachers
and new club members.
***SIGN*** Barley Shochu
**[11:45] R**
You seem quite tired, Yushi-kun.
**[11:47] Gu**
That's part of being young.
**[11:50] Gu**
Like an unripe fruit.
**[11:52] Gu**
And speaking of unripe fruit!
**[11:56] Gu**
Aoki-sensei!
**[11:58] Gu**
She's covered herself in this silver armor
that says, "I am absolute justice."
**[12:03] Gu**
She's like the Maid of Orleans!
**[12:05] Gu**
I bet she's kind of a pain!
**[12:08] Gu**
Basically, she doesn't know
how to express herself.
**[12:10] Gu**
She's so serious, she can't learn any
other ways of seeing things.
**[12:18] Gu**
Someone from my department
who had that problem quit.
**[12:21] Gu**
He was a nice guy,
**[12:23] Gu**
and he'd care too much about new people.
**[12:26] Gu**
He'd take away jobs that the
new guy had to learn,
**[12:29] Gu**
without letting him do anything or speak.
**[12:31] Gu**
In the end, the new guy
couldn't get any work,
**[12:34] Gu**
and he wasn't able to grow...
**[12:37] Gu**
Even if the boss tried to blame the new guy,
**[12:40] Gu**
he'd come out and try to cover for him,
**[12:42] Gu**
"He's still new, so he can't do that."
**[12:45] Gu**
From the start, he decided that the
new guy couldn't do anything.
**[12:50] Gu**
Being nice and caring isn't a good thing.
**[12:53] Gu**
What's good are the results
that it can bring about.
**[12:57] Gu**
Sometimes, being harsh or doing
nothing, can be kindness, right?
**[13:02] Y**
That's it...
**[13:03] Y**
That's the difference between
Aoki and Ryu-san.
**[13:07] Gu**
What's wrong, Yushi-kun?
**[13:09] Y**
Fool once said that Aoki's aura
was similar to Ryu-san's.
**[13:13] Gu**
Aoki-sensei and Ryu-san?
**[13:15] F**
Indeed!
**[13:17] F**
Their auras are both unperturbed
by various feelings.
**[13:21] F**
Perhaps you could call it strong belief!
**[13:23] Y**
But they're different! I know it!
**[13:26] Y**
When I first acquired the *Petit*,
**[13:28] Y**
Ryu-san said he'd help me all I needed.
**[13:31] Y**
But he didn't do anything.
**[13:33] Y**
When I suffered with my training,
**[13:35] Y**
he didn't give me any advice or help.
**[13:38] Y**
But he was with me.
**[13:40] Y**
He believed in me and watched over me.
**[13:42] Y**
That was his kindness.
**[13:45] Y**
But Aoki's kindness is the opposite.
**[13:48] Gu**
The worst part is that she doesn't realize
that she's forcing her good intentions
**[13:52] Gu**
on other people.
**[13:55] Gu**
Scary.
**[13:56] Gu**
Which means...
**[13:57] Gu**
A toast to the maiden!
**[14:00] Y**
You guys look like you're having fun.
**[14:01] Y**
By the way, did you know, Yushi-kun?
**[14:05] Y**
The road to hell is paved
with good intentions.
***SIGN*** Joutou Business High School
**[14:12] Gu**
That does it for role assignments, right?
**[14:14] Gu**
So let's keep going until
the day of the social!
**[14:17] Gu**
I'm the star?
**[14:18] Gu**
I'll cave to the pressure before I
even worry about the English!
**[14:21] Gi**
Don't worry, Mamiya.
**[14:23] Gi**
Nobody expects acting ability from you.
**[14:27] Gu**
Well, you should, a little!
**[14:29] ---**
**[14:29] T**
You don't have a speaking part?
**[14:31] T**
You ran, huh?
**[14:32] Y**
No! I have work, so I had them excuse me!
**[14:37] T**
I wanted to hear your terrible acting!
**[14:40] Gi**
Okay, enough talk—
**[14:47] Y**
Yamamoto...
**[14:48] T**
What?
**[14:50] T**
Did she bring her resignation letter?
**[15:06] T**
Hey, Yamamoto-san!
**[15:08] T**
If you're at the club,
**[15:10] T**
act like a club member.
**[15:14] T**
And how do I "act like a club member"?
**[15:17] Gi**
Listen...
**[15:18] Gi**
We're all getting ready for what we're going
to do for the social with the Foreigners Club!
**[15:23] Gi**
Is that mandatory?
**[15:25] Gi**
I don't want to do it.
**[15:27] Gi**
Then, why did you come here?
**[15:29] Gi**
If you want to read a book,
go to the library.
**[15:43] Y**
Yamamoto, calm down, and let's talk—
**[15:48] Y**
Yama—
**[15:48] Gi**
Yamamoto-san,
**[15:50] Gi**
if you don't want to help
prepare, that's fine.
**[15:52] Gi**
Just don't come to the club
until the social is over.
**[15:56] Gi**
Having one person reading and
not participating is disruptive!
**[16:11] T**
Way to go, club president...
**[16:14] A**
What's wrong?
**[16:17] A**
That girl was crying.
**[16:19] T**
Aoki!
**[16:21] Gi**
Um, this is...
**[16:25] Gi**
Bullying is wrong.
***SIGN*** Huh?!
**[16:29] Gi**
Lots of people surrounding
a girl and making her cry.
**[16:33] Gi**
You're in high school, now.
Shouldn't you be better than this?
**[16:38] Gi**
It's so sad...
**[16:40] ---**
*Ow...*
**[16:42] Gi**
No... Listen, Sensei.
**[16:44] Gi**
Let's be friends.
**[16:46] Gi**
If you bully someone, they aren't
the only one who gets hurt.
**[16:50] Gi**
You get hurt, too!
**[16:55] S**
She's going in circles.
**[16:57] T**
I know.
**[16:58] T**
What class is she in?
**[17:00] T**
Why not go and talk to her
homeroom teacher?
**[17:03] T**
I'll help you!
**[17:05] Gi**
We're fine, Sensei! No need to worry!
**[17:09] Gi**
We'll handle it ourselves.
**[17:12] Gi**
I'm sure we'll make up...
**[17:14] Gi**
I see.
**[17:15] Y**
Nice work!
**[17:17] Gi**
Good... I'm happy you understand!
**[17:26] Gi**
What the hell was that?!
**[17:28] Gi**
Does she have no idea what she's saying?
**[17:35] R**
The road to hell is paved
with good intentions.
**[17:41] Y**
The road to hell is paved
with good intentions...
**[17:45] Y**
That's scary, Isshiki-san!
**[17:47] C**
What's scary?
**[17:50] Y**
Chiaki? What are you doing here?!
**[17:59] Y**
Ow!
**[18:00] Gu**
Chiaki-sensei is on break.
**[18:05] Gu**
Aoki-sensei said that, huh?
**[18:08] Gu**
Well, with people like that,
you have to adapt to them.
**[18:13] Gu**
Like your club president did.
**[18:15] Y**
That's frustrating.
**[18:17] Y**
Is there no way we can talk it out?
**[18:19] Gu**
There is...
**[18:24] Gu**
But you speak different languages,
**[18:26] Gu**
so it takes an incredible amount
of time and effort.
**[18:30] A**
Chiaki-sensei!
**[18:32] Y**
*Again?*
**[18:33] A**
There, you are.
**[18:36] A**
We're having our teacher's meeting soon—
**[18:38] ---**
Oh?
**[18:39] A**
Inaba-kun?
**[18:42] C**
I'm very sorry. I was talking with
him, and I lost track of time.
**[18:46] A**
Oh, Inaba-kun.
**[18:48] A**
Did you need to talk? You could
have talked to me!
**[18:52] Y**
N-No, it's nothing!
**[18:54] A**
Really?
**[18:55] A**
Holding it in isn't good.
**[18:57] C**
Aoki-sensei, you don't need to worry so much.
**[19:00] C**
He'll be fine.
**[19:02] A**
No, Inaba-kun has no parents,
**[19:04] A**
and lives at his apartment alone.
**[19:06] A**
There's no end of worrying to be done.
**[19:09] Y**
*I'm not alone!*
**[19:10] Y**
*If anything, there are too many people!*
**[19:12] A**
And boys his age have many worries
and frustrations, I know.
**[19:18] A**
They make things out to be worse
than they are or get too excited.
**[19:22] Y**
*She's just deciding things again!*
**[19:24] C**
Listen, Aoki-sensei...
**[19:27] C**
When someone will do something stupid,
**[19:29] C**
their daily life becomes a mess, first.
**[19:31] C**
Look at him.
**[19:33] C**
His shirt collar is clean.
**[19:35] C**
He's washing his shirts, wearing fresh
ones, and keeping himself clean.
**[19:40] C**
His ears are clean, too.
No piercings, either.
**[19:42] C**
And he hasn't dyed his hair.
**[19:45] C**
He's well-muscled, and his skin is smooth,
**[19:48] C**
so he's eating and sleeping properly.
**[19:50] C**
Someone who's doing all these basics
**[19:52] C**
doesn't need any help.
**[19:55] Y**
*Th-That's...*
**[20:02] Y**
*That's what it was?*
**[20:06] A**
Even so, he is still alone, isn't he?
**[20:11] A**
Isn't he lonely when he doesn't
feel well or isn't at school?
**[20:17] A**
That doesn't mean you can
hang out downtown, though.
**[20:20] A**
Just come and talk to me!
**[20:22] Y**
*Again?*
**[20:28] Y**
Th-Thank you... I'll do that.
**[20:32] A**
That makes me happy, Inaba-kun!
**[20:34] A**
It's a promise!
**[20:36] A**
Hurry along to the teacher's
meeting, Chiaki-sensei.
**[20:41] A**
And...
**[20:43] A**
You should stop smoking.
**[20:47] C**
That's none of your business.
**[20:59] Y**
She doesn't speak a different language.
**[21:01] Y**
She just doesn't listen to me!
**[21:03] Y**
I told her I'm fine!
**[21:04] C**
Arguing is a waste of time.
**[21:06] C**
The more you say, the more she'll
think, "I knew you were lonely."
**[21:10] Y**
But...
**[21:11] C**
Well, I'm lucky that Class 2-C has nothing
but good students like you.
**[21:18] C**
I can leave you alone, without worry.
**[21:21] Y**
Chiaki...
**[21:24] C**
It's "Chiaki-sensei."
**[21:28] Y**
*Someone's watching over you.*
**[21:30] Y**
*Someone believes in you.*
**[21:35] Y**
*Doesn't that make you happy?*
