Free school? The monthly membership fee is 50,000 yen Ah! That's for people who are there studying for exams.
I'm fine just taking private lessons once or twice a week.
But It's not good to beat around the bush, so That money that I got when I was a child actor is in savings, right? That's right That was supposed to be money put aside for when you went to college, but But, staying in the house constantly like this is You mean it looks better than just being a shut-in? Chika! Sis', why do you want to go to that free school? Becausemy friends are there.
That's it? You just want to play, don't you? The free school is at least a school, right? What do you want to study there? What do you want to become? Well I still Well it's fine, isn't it? You can take your time to think about that.
You want to go to this school, right, Keito? Not just to please us I want to.

Aoyama! I want to talk to you for a second.
Is it alright? Yeah.
Wait! Hey, Yuu-chan! Hey, you know that girl named Momiji? She asked me, "Could you not come to that convenience store too much with your girlfriend?" That kind of thing But, I turned her down.
From now on I want to properly go out with you as friends.
That's why I told her I didn't want to do such an unnatural thing.
That's fine, right? Yeah.
That's fine.
I heard, that you started private lessons at the free school? Yeah.
But, I can't do things like studying.
I don't know what I should do, though, you know? You can do something that other people can't, right? The Aoyama I met at school was Well if I had to describe you You didn't stand out and were unreliable.
But, the Aoyama that I saw on TV was How should I put this.
.
? Even though you were a kid, you had the face of a professional.
You shined.
Because you were able to do amazing things, even now, I'm sure you can do it.
That's what I think.
Bye.
Yeah.
Do your best.
Yeah.
"How cool" "Just as I thought.
" is about what you were thinking, right? Still.
What're you looking at?! It would be a problem if you turned into a lost child again, you know.
I see.
He was worried about me.
Sorry.
No, no.
It's not done that well, you see.
Um, this right here.
The reading, "Aruzounaizo" It's read "Uzoumuzou.
" [riffraff.]
No, it's alright, it's alright.
People have strong and weak points after all, right? "Sawayama" [Swamp Mountain.]
It's read "Takusan", alright? [a lot.]
"Kamata" "Zabuton.
" [Cushion.]
So far it's a disaster.
Sorry to keep you waiting! How is it? How should I put it It seems like you.
How about you, Gouta? What's with that sign? OK? You mean it looks good on me? It looks good on you.
Really?! Seriously?! I don't think anyone else besides you could pull off wearing those clothes.
Alright! Alright then, everyone come with me.
Eh? Where to? I'm gonna go tell him I like him! Geez! Kouichi and Gouta are just cold! Wah! There she is! It's Momiji! Even though you quite school, you hasn't learned a thing? You still dress like that! Look! There's a strawberry on it! I, you know don't have a single good memory of when I was in school with this reputation.
The time when I dropped out, too.
I didn't have any friends to stop me.
That's why, now, I want to show them the part of me that is happy boldly doing the things I like! Love, you know, is an earnest game, right? Right, Keito? Momiji.
Yamaguchi-kun! I'm Noda Momiji.
It was only a short time, but we were in the same class.
Do you remember? Do your best! I have something I want to talk to you about Something you want to talk about? Huh? Huh? Huh? Are we possiblygetting in the way? By the way, come in some better clothes! Those are starting to bother me, you know.
Um! I got it! I got it.
I'll listen to what you have to say later.
I'm working at the video store in front of the station.
If you can wait at the park in the front, I'll come during my evening break.
Okay! I'll be waiting! In some better clothes, right? Okay? Sorry.
Momiji said she'd be alright by herself, but for some reason I got worried.
W-W-Wh-Where? I don't know that It seemed like they were going to meet in this park, but it's so big.
Noda-san! Thanks for coming! Sorry about that guy who said to come in some different clothes.
But, you look cute.
Really? I actually remember you, Noda-san.
Really?! You were always in the back seat looking down, right? Then, one day, you came to school wearing a huge ribbon, and everyone called you disgusting and stuff, right? Momiji-chan! Hot! You guys are hot!~ Sorry for interrupting at the fun part.
Sorry! Yamaguchi-kun told us he was going to see you so we should come, you see.
Long time no see! Hey! Were you peaking around the school from time to time in an amazing outfit? That was so you could ambush Ken! Oh crap! She's a stalker! That's bad, Yamaguchi.
You were being spied on! Ah, by the way, Tanaka's wallet was stolen once, right? Yeah, yeah! Seems like something Noda-san would do, right? I mean their desks were close, and somehow she always seemed depressed.
Did you do that? I didn't do it.
I didn't do it! What is this?! I came here to talk to Yamaguchi-kun! Even so Why? Why did you all come?! Ken and I are going out.
Didn't you know? Momiji! T-that outfit! It's like it's not even Momiji.
She must have really pushed herself to have gone and changed, huh? But why is there so many people? Don't lay your hands on someone else's man! Idiot!~ Why?! I mean, Momiji is- D-d-d-d-d-don't! I-i-i-i-i-it's dangerous! Noda-san.
What did you want to talk to me about? Man, you're seriously horrible.
You're going to have her ask you out like this? If you don't have anything to talk about, I'm going, OK? Bye.
Bye-bye! Don't! Keito Gouta! So lame, right? I'm hopeless after all.
I couldn't be energetic.
I wasn't in my best clothes.
Momiji.
The next day, Momiji didn't show up at the school.
Thanks! -Yeah, see you later! Ah, good afternoon! Good afternoon.
Um Welcome! Ah! By any chance, could you be Momiji's.
.
? I go to the free school with her.
My name's Aoyama, Thanks! Momiji.
Geez, she broke out in rashes.
Whenever something bad happens, this always happens to her.
Her fever also won't go down.
I'm fine.
Mom, go somewhere else.
Alright, alright.
I'll go put some tea on right now, okay? Are you alright? I'll eventually get better.
I mean He was a horrible person, wasn't he? Because of that guy I'm crying and have a fever.
I look like an idiot! How much effort Momiji put into making those clothes? How much courage did she have to have to dress up like that and talk to him? Even so, that [New Message.]
[Subject: A Must See! Huge Scoop!!.]
[Sender: Anonymous.]
[Shocking Image! Noda Momiji.]
[Swimming in the Middle of Winter.
.]
Welcome.
UmI'm looking for a movie called Edward Scissorhands.
Edward Scissorhands? Ah! I understand.
O-over here.
It's alright.
I'm an actress.
If I think that, I can do anything.
Ah! I'm so sorry! Ah, it's fine, it's fine.
Hey, you know, I have that DVD, so I'll lend it to you.
I get off work at eight o'clock, so could you come back then? Sure.
Eight o'clock, right? I'll be waiting at the park in front.
Sorry! Did I make you wait? No, you're fine.
Here.
The DVD I promised.
Thanks! I'm so happy! What're you going to do? Want to go get some tea or something? Want to sit down here? It seems cold today, doesn't it? That's right.
What's your name? Keiko I'm Yamaguchi Ken.
Keiko-chan, do you have a boyfriend or anything? I don't.
Even though you're so pretty, huh? I can't believe that.
If that's the case, will you go out with me? But, you have a girlfriend, right? I don't, I don't.
I don't have one.
But You just seem too good.
Oh yeah, yesterday, a girl came here to tell me she liked me.
This shut-in girl that dropped out of high school, was waiting for me wearing some frilly, seriously disgusting clothes.
Scary, right? The delusions of a lonely woman.
Oh yeah.
You want to see a picture my friend took? Yeah.
This is her.
That moment, the anger in the bottom of my heart burst.
Anger, that was shut away in my heart for seven years.
I remembered.
This was how anger felt.
Yamaguchi-kun.
I can't stand it when guys talk about other girls when I'm around.
Sorry.
You're right.
Hey! Yamaguchi-kun, are you muscular? Why so suddenly? When I was in middle school I played basketball, so somewhat, but Why? Really?! I want to see! You want to see? Here? Yeah.
Take off your clothes just a little.
Here?! Yeah, I'll help you.
Are you serious? You're pretty bold.
What the hell's with you?! Don't screw with me, you bitch! Wait! Ouch! You bitch! Hey! What the hell are you doing!? It's you?! We had a report of a ruffian in the park! Are you alright? Come! We'd like to hear your story at the station.
It's fine, right? Ouch, ouch! A-a-a-a-a-are you alright? What are you doing?! Are you an idiot? Thank you for everything.
Not at all.
Thank you for helping with the investigation.
I got in touch with your parents.
Don't worry.
I didn't say anything that would make them worry.
Want to come over for tea or something? Hey! Gouta, where are you going? N-n-n-n-nowhere.
Here's some manju I got from the lady next door.
It's delicious.
I felt like I wanted to kill him.
After I shut myself in my house, for the longest time, I made sure not to let my own feelings out.
So I wouldn't have to feel anything.
But Before, I felt an amazing hatred.
I thought I wanted to take revenge for Momiji.
E-e-e-ex-excuse m-me.
E-e-excuse me! Geez.
You're too loud! Releasing your anger isn't a bad thing.
But you have to think about the consequences, right? Kouichi and Gouta were worried and searched around the park But, what if they hadn't reported it? You, yourself, may have been hurt.
I'm sorry.
It's his son.
Really? He died five years ago.
His son was also bullied.
That was the reason he became a shut-in.
He dropped out of school.
Then one day, when he was walking down the street, he got in a fight with the classmates that bullied him, and faced them alone.
I wonder if the reason that El Liston was built, was because that happened.
He wanted to save someone.
Even a single person.
Violence.
Even if you face violence, it's only futile.
You, said you did it for Momiji, but that's not really true, right? Really, you took revenge for yourself, right? Taking revenge on society, and on the people who ignore you, and put pressure on you.
Those kind of things are meaningless! Then, what are you supposed to do? Being ridiculed Aren't there times for you that are so frustrating that you start shaking? There are.
There have been for me, too.
But, think about what's best to do yourself.
My dream is to become an actress.
What should I do to be able to progress a step forward? [TV Kantou Special Drama "The Season's Wind" Audition.]
Good morning.
Good morning! Well then, from here we will start the audition for the school life drama "The Season's Wind".
When I call your names please come forward.
Are you here for the audition? Ah, no.
Sorry! I'm so sorry.
Wait a second! Do you have time right now? I, you see, am working as a hair and make-up artist's assistant.
I want you to let me use your face.
This.
It broke so we can call this your apology.
It's fine, right? Just twenty minutes! Check it out.
Here.
Pretty, right? Just as I thought, huh? You look great with makeup, huh.
Are you doing something? Possibly, an actress? No.
Nothing really.
I see.
What a waste, huh? Hey, next time try going to a drama audition.
I'm sure you'll get accepted instantly.
Well for this hairstyle, I think we should make the wave in this area bit stronger- I'm sorry! I'min a hurry Then, I'll take you.
I have a car.
Where to? What is this place? A school? It's the free school.
So you go to the free school? Wow Thank you very much.
Thanks.
Let me give you my card just in case.
Ozawa Masanobu.
My friends call me Maasa.
If something happens call me.
Okay.
He's a hair and make-up artist.
Earlier, he called me out.
Hair and make-up? I'll explain later.
A lot happened.
What do you mean by a lot? O-o-o-over here! Over here! Lady Momiji.
Complete revival! Keito!~ Hey, thanks.
I heard from Gouta.
Not at all.
Thanks! Huh?! A drama audition?! That's why you got so pretty, isn't it? A-a-amazing! It's not amazing at all.
Momiji's good at making those kind of clothes.
Gouta has his hip-hop.
But, I can't do anything.
I way behind in studying.
I'm hopeless at cooking, too.
It may be pitiful, but I don't have anything except what I used to do, right? I don't have anything but what I thought I was fed up with.
But! Even so I got scared and ran away.
How embarrassing.
I thought I had to do something, but I really don't know what I should do.
What're you doing? Since Keito hid her embarrassment and confessed everything to us, I'll thought I'd throw mine away, too.
Hey! What're you doing?! I had to have a bolt put in, and now I can't bend it any further than this.
The year I started high school, It was destroyed by a teammate on my soccer team who tortured me.
It was tore apart all over, and I was hospitalized for a year.
That's awful! Why so far? I was at fault, too I, you know, I was pretty good at soccer, you see.
I became big headed.
I saw everyone around me as idiots.
"Your an idiot.
" "Your trash.
" I said too much and became resented.
"Your an idiot.
" "Your trash.
" That was Me just continuing what my parents said to me.
I turned the one thing I said I hated the most, onto other people.
Gouta.
The guys that bullied you, Momiji.
The guys who looked down on you.
I did the same things as they do to people.
I received a huge punishment.
Soccer, the only thing I was good at, was taken away from me.
I never had friends from the beginning.
The only person I have to talk to is my computer.
That's me.
That type of disgusting person is me.
Now is different, isn't it? Now is completely different.
That's true.
Now is different.
But, If you take your guard off, things like anger, and hate those kind of things that whirl around and around You'll feel like you'll become engulfed in them.
And then, once again, you come to want to ridicule people.
But You can't lose to that, right? Your opponent is not a person.
You have to win against yourself.
Mom.
Welcome home.
It'll be done soon.
Mom, have you eaten yet? Not yet.
Dad hasn't come back yet, and Chika said she was going to eat with a friend.
Thenis it alright if we eat together? It's been a while since we've done this kind thing, huh? Eh? Yeah Hey, Keito, where did you go today? You left your commuter pass behind, so it wasn't the school, right? It's fine.
If you don't want to talk about it, then you don't have to.
Sorry, Mom.
Huh? Even though you're worrying about me Sorry for not telling you anything.
I, you know, right now, little by little, little by little, though.
How should I say it I'm starting to feel better.
I felt bitter towards you too, but I'm grateful now.
When I was little, Being able to be taken around by you, I acted in a lot of places, right? When I think about it, it wasn't all bad.
Plays and things.
Scenes and things, I didn't hate them.
You showed me the fun of testing my own power.
I'm glad I had all those experiences.
I'll get some tea, okay? Dolphins! These are dolphins, right?! That's right.
These kind of places I came when once when I was in third grade for a photo shoot This is what it feels like to be in the ocean Hey, Momiji! You want to go on some rides? Yeah.
Let's go ride them.
Let's go, let's go! She's just the same as a baby, after all.
That's right.
That's because I was just born.
Everything seems fresh.
Everything looks radiant.
These and those kinds of things.
It's the first time I've experienced them since I was born, so the time I'm here isn't ordinary at all.
To come across it is like a miracle.
Even this carousel seems as short as a second.
Are you alright? Nothing.
It's been a long time since I've been to a amusement part that I got too excited.
Hey! I'm hungry! Let's go eat.
The fog that enveloped me cleared up, and from an opening in the clouds, I was able to see a small light.
That was how I felt then.
- You rode that one! The one for little kids! That time you once again appeared in front of me.
-Since we came, I want to master riding them all, you know.
Aoyama Keito-san? Ah! As I thought you're the real person, right? We're collecting data for Atsumaru TV.
Do you have a second? "That star is now" is what we want to talk about.
UmHow many years has it been now? You were a child actress, right? The last time, if I recall, was the musical "Sunny".
As our special guest, would you allow us ask you about that time? Hey! What are doing?! Isn't it rude to show up so suddenly?! Good afternoon, little goat! I am Sunny! Long time no see, Keito.
I'm Sonoda Nako.
You don't even a single friend.
What a disgusting person.
