Aharen-san wa hakarenai (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Now then, let us begin.
"Days pass swiftly, spent doing
veritable servant's work"
Tobaru-sensei's a bit intimidating,
but she's kinda mysterious, too, y'know?
I even heard she has health problems.
Ishikawa-san. No chatting.
R-Right!
I'll continue
"One must serve those held in esteem."
This prose is so beautiful,
no matter how many times I read it
I will brook no chit-chat interruptions.
The word "veritable" is used here
to emphasize the feelings involved.
And the use of "esteem" indicates
a positive sentiment.
It's an expression of emotional gravitas.
Raido-san and Aharen-san
are flirting in class!
I should give them a warning
Those two They're not flirting!
Episode Four Isn't That Overdoing It?
He's sharing the book she forgot!
Raido-san even positioned it so
it would be easier for her to see.
A schoolboy's act of kindness
toward a schoolgirl
You have my veritable esteem!
Rarely do I witness anything so worthy of it!
The sweet innocence of this
pair of high schoolers
It's too esteemed for me to bear!
Sensei, are you okay?
Forgive me. I was suddenly
struck by the gravitas
This won't do! I must be more cautious.
My passion for classical works of romance
always gets me wound up when I see
men and women together.
And these two in particular
Despite their nonchalant appearance,
I'm certain they're inextricably bound!
It's all right! I must calm myself.
They can't possibly get any closer
Esteemed/Cordial
"Cordial", like "esteemed,"
has another meaning these days.
Esteemed/Cordial
The classical definition was different.
Does anyone know it?
They're even closer together!
She's practically on top of him now!
Um Sensei? Are you sure you're?
My apologies. I just need a moment.
My heart was just
overwhelmed by the esteem
And now
Aharen-san is returning his consideration.
They're sitting so they can both see!
And they're in perfect formation as a result!
How veritably cordial!
These children are so sweet
Esteemed and cordial!
A profound
emotional
reaction
Esteemed/Cordial
I need to focus on class
before my heart gives out!
And thus th-that is why
Wh-What's this?
The boy in front of them
is tall enough to block the board,
hence Raido-san lifted her
up so she could see!
And with one arm, so that he can
continue taking notes himself!
What an act of kindness!
It's so esteemed
Esteem of the year!
Tobaru-sensei just collapsed!
Maybe she really is in fragile health.
Shirorin!
Do you think Tobaru-sensei will be okay?
Wh-What's wrong, Aharen-san?!
She's not responding to me
Don't tell me it's that!
Demonic possession!
Aharen-san's been taken over by the devil!
Holy water?!
Aharen-san is trying to cast the devil out!
Go ahead.
You okay?
I was choking on some food. Thank you.
I need to understand what Aharen-san
is trying to convey faster,
or it could lead to real trouble.
But
I don't think you could even
generously describe her as "expressive."
Aharen-san, we have to do something.
Shall we practice being more expressive?
You can count on me.
Let's begin with a basic smile.
Make the same face that I do.
Okay, try it.
That's a good start.
Next, we'll get your facial muscles flexible
so it's easier to make expressions.
I'm going to massage your face.
SQUISH
There. You feel less tense now.
MOOSH
MOOSH
Maybe a little too relaxed.
Shirorin!
Advanced Screening
Love, Tanks,
and the Bon
Festival Dance
Next, we'll practice being emotionally moved.
Um, excuse me
I'm sorry Could you give me a minute?
Okay, let's keep trying new things.
This will be the finishing touch!
I challenge you to a staring contest!
Come on, Aharen-san!
It's time to surpass your master!
That's a hilarious face
But it's not enough!
What's wrong, Aharen-san?
You'll need a funnier face than that!
A funny face?
You win. I give up.
Please stop making that face.
Congratulations, Aharen-san.
I have nothing more to teach you.
From now on, I'll be able to tell what
you're thinking even if you don't say it.
Now smile!
Let's compare with these older pics
to see how you've improved.
No change at all, huh?
Well, now that you've finished training,
let's treat ourselves.
I should be better at reading
Aharen-san's expressions now.
Let's see if I can guess
what kind of CD she wants
Here we go!
Japanese Rap
Rap?!
Do you listen to much rap?
You wanna try some?
Good morning, Aharen-san.
How was that CD?
Would you mind if I borrow it?
I'm still so tired,
wish I was sleeping in the dark.
Got me feeling like
taking a sit by the park.
Really hoping today's test gets delayed,
'cause I didn't study at all,
in spite of what teacher said.
Did Aharen-san just rap?!
Is this because of that CD from yesterday?
She's a quick learner, huh?
I get it!
Rap has a strong backbone
of personal expression.
Versus other music styles,
it's really message oriented.
For someone like Aharen-san
who has so much trouble finding her voice,
this might be perfect!
I've finally found the ideal way
to communicate with Aharen-san!
Now I just need to respond to her rap
with some hot rhymes of my own!
M-My name is R-Raido
and I'm here to say
I'm walking to school in a major way?
Rap's kinda hard, huh?
I'd better study up for Aharen-san's sake.
Shirorin!
Hey.
What?
You're the little sis and I'm the big bro.
Where's the respect, yo?
Ain't you got none to show?
Gotta remember to give me my props.
I'mma keep at it until your dissing stops.
Huh? What are you doing?
Ma!
What is it?
What're the sides on tonight's menu?
If it's TBD, then I gotta choice few.
You know the kinda veg I like to chew?
Gimme that cabbage and bok choy, whoo!
Is that right? Okay, then.
I did it!
My dope rhymes left them both speechless.
I've got this!
Aharen-san.
Yo, yo, yo! Social studies
is next on the sched.
You got your books, or are you on a ledge?
I got it covered,
with the test being en route.
All the same, thanks for looking out.
We're doing it!
Communicating like this, we can understand
each other even better than before.
Rap is awesome!
But
What kinda stuff you got in your lunch?
It always looks good
and you bring a bunch.
Thanks, man. I made meatballs again today.
Say, Raido-kun, want some coming your way?
That isn't really what I was trying to say.
Taking your lunch wouldn't feel right!
You don't want a bite?
Actually? All right.
You can sample whatever you like in sight.
If you're being so generous,
I better be polite.
This is what I was afraid of
Everything's turned into a freestyle battle!
Yo, yo, yo, I can't take it all!
I don't want you to get weak and fall!
I'm gonna eat some too, so don't worry.
Well then, let's both dig in—and hurry!
It's good to eat something nutritious.
Not only that, but also delicious.
Looks like there's no clear winner.
We'll have to call it a draw.
That was fun. Let's do it again.
Yeah.
We'll use these mics to sling words
at each other again.
It's against school rules
to bring in personal microphones.
Okay.
Well, it's not like we need mics to rap.
My name is Raido and I'm
uh walking, yo?
Back home is, er where I go?
Now, you go.
That's right, that's right,
we're going home.
The mic's integral, huh?
Thanks for breakfast.
I'm heading out.
Huh? What are you doing?
Maybe I was a little too harsh yesterday
Oh, I know!
Rapping didn't pan out
But I was still able to communicate
with Aharen-san, so it's all good.
Nii-chan!
I'm the little sis, you're the big bro,
and I was a little cold yesterday, I know!
So I got something to apologize, yo!
Huh? What?
What brought this on?
I-I bought it because
everyone in class had one
But I'm bored with it, so you can have it.
Thanks.
I'm heading out!
A hand spinner, huh?
Shirorin!
I don't get it.
Good morning.
Good morning.
What's that?
You play with it like this.
You wanna see?
Okay, sure.
I think she likes it. That's good.
You can take it home if you want.
Is it really that interesting?
"Cordial" has a positive connotation,
and much like "esteemed,"
in Heian literary trends,
it was heavily used as
Raido-san is staring
at Aharen-san during class.
I know they're close, but
How is she doing that?!
It's one smooth trick into another!
I can't tear my eyes away!
No, now's not the time to be impressed!
Aharen-san, you should put
that away during class.
I was wrong! He's explaining
the parts Aharen-san doesn't understand.
And quietly, so as to avoid embarrassing her!
What an act of kindness!
Veritably cordial
Are you okay, Tobaru-sensei?!
Aharen-san, it's dangerous to do
that while walking.
I keep doing it without thinking
Are you serious? That's scary.
Is this good or what?!
Taiyaki
Mine's great, too!
Aharen-san.
A-Aharen-san
You sure you're not overdoing it?
She's totally addicted.
I had better do something!
Coming of Age Ceremony
I'm worried about Aharen-san's future
Job Interviews
But if I just take it away
when she's clearly hooked on it
The Purpose of Life
Without Hand Spinners
She wailed, "I just wanted to spin it!"
A male classmate was involved.
The cruelty
What am I supposed to do?!
Thanks. I've spun it plenty,
so you can have it back.
You were just trying it out and couldn't
figure out what was fun about it?
Oh. Okay, then. Yeah.
Still, those moves
How do you do that?
Shirorin!
Nii-chan, you sure you're not overdoing it?
A cool breeze, the rustling of the trees
It's nice how quiet that park is.
All that fidgety spinning
has exhausted me lately.
A wild beast?! What's it doing
in a place like this?
Did it escape?
They say that escaped animals
can be really aggressive
Is it going to attack us?!
The second I look away,
it'll go for the jugular.
I can't break its gaze!
I'm so sorry!
The leash just slipped out of my hand.
This naughty little thing
The threat has passed.
It's safe now, Aharen-san.
Another wild beast?!
Aharen-san's frozen in fear!
I have to help her!
What's that?! Have the locals gone
into a bloodthirsty frenzy?!
They've formed a war party
to attack trespassers
This park isn't peaceful all!
It puts the wild in wilderness!
I'm first!
No fair, Akkun!
I'm gonna win!
Calm down, me. Those are just kids.
Aggressive as they might be
What's wrong, Aharen-san?
It's King Aha!
Do you know them, Aharen-san?
I knew it was you!
Wow!
Remember the hand spinner?
I was playing with it in the park,
and I guess they looked up to me.
And now they treat me like this
King!
King!
They declared you their king?
King, what kind of moves
do you have for us today?!
King!
King!
Come on, please!
Aharen-san doesn't know what to do.
I'd better say something
Come on, kids, quiet down.
You're clearly bothering Aharen-san.
There. That did it.
Who the hell are you?
The king's new apprentice?
We were first, y'know!
That means we outrank you.
Go fetch us some juice.
Kids these days are terrifying!
Hey!
Akkun, you guys need to give it a rest!
Ugh, it's Futaba
What's it matter to you?! Buzz off!
Since I'm your childhood friend,
I have to look after you!
What's that even mean?!
I don't fully understand,
but I think we're safe now.
This is all your fault
Aharen Reina! It's because of you!
Not safe after all, huh?
She's seducing you, Akkun!
Don't you see that?!
The king wouldn't do that!
She totally is!
That's enough of that, you two.
Who're you supposed to be?
Do I need to set off my personal alarm?!
No. Sorry.
I challenge you, Aharen Reina!
You're gonna play me in Reversi,
and when I beat you,
you have to leave Akkun alone!
Believe me when I tell you
you don't want to do this.
Seriously, who are you? Her apprentice?
Do I need to call the cops?
No. Sorry.
You only picked that
'cause you're good at it!
Oh, shut up!
Young lady.
If you want to play against Aharen-san,
you'll have to beat me first.
I guess you are her apprentice.
You'll be black, then. You go first.
Right.
This is where I show her, as an adult,
how harsh the world can be!
What was that?
So much for all your big talk!
Kids are really good at Reversi
these days, huh?
Aharen-san?
So, the evil mastermind finally steps forward!
She's serious.
Aharen-san is going to avenge me!
No way! Aharen-san lost?! At Reversi?!
I lost on purpose.
I thought it'd get her to back down.
You did the same thing, right?
Y-Yeah. Of course. Who would
get serious against a kid?
You
You weren't that great at all!
Looks like I win!
Now you have to leave Akkun alone
like you promised!
The king lost on purpose.
Can't you tell that?
Wh-What'd you say?!
Think about it!
No one's so bad that they
would lose every single piece!
You're always bugging me!
What's your problem?! Scram already!
Scram! Scram!
Akkun, you jerk! I don't care anymore!
What's with her? Well, whatever.
King! Now we can—
King?
You went too far.
Go apologize to Futaba-chan.
B-But
You feel bad, right?
Then you can apologize.
O-Okay.
I-I'm gonna apologize!
I'm sorry, Futaba!
That wrapped up nicely. Ready to go home?
Seriously!
Aharen-san?!
So much happened and now I'm exhausted
You okay? Are you gonna make it home?
A giant beast!
This is our dog, Nui.
Well
See you tomorrow.
Aharen-san does have
a royal air about her, huh?
