Chastity High (2024) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Blaming infidelity on a love potion
cleverly conceals that desire.
Based on these observations, we conclude
that five years later,
each couple will have broken up.
Thank you. Now we move on to the critique.
Any comments, raise your hand.
Yes.
Nashiki.
I feel we lack enough evidence
to reach that conclusion.
Please let us elaborate.
The ones who are affected
by the love potion are all men.
Based on that fact, we can infer
that the presence of the fairies
is an expression
of the male author's unconscious desire.
Our conclusion is that male infidelity
will have ruined the relationships.
Even if the love potion affected him,
he'd never call someone
he once loved "loathed medicine."
-It's entertaining, though.
-Lies lead to more lies.
I learned that this morning.
Ichica!
Why didn't you tell me?
Class observation is today.
You never tell me anything.
I'm Maki. We're in the same class.
Oh, hello.
Anyway, I need to go
thank Ms. Tokui for the scholarship.
No, she's busy right now.
I'll just say hello. Nice to meet you.
No, wait.
Wait, doesn't she have the day off today?
I think she's away for work, right?
She said so.
What? Really?
Yes.
I see.
Too bad.
Our schedules don't match.
CHASTITY HIGH
Okay, next group, please.
All right.
Is my Ryogo friends with your daughter?
Yes, it seems they're friends.
You have a charming son.
Will you go to the reception, Ms. Arisawa?
No, I have to go to work.
No rest for the poor.
This is like a dream.
My daughter, at a school like this.
What a coincidence.
Our kids are in the same school.
It's been too long.
Do you know each other?
Yes, from a long time ago.
Well, I must hurry.
Greetings.
Greetings.
She's still angry, isn't she?
That's your own fault.
THE FEE TO BE EXCUSED IS 200,000 YEN
The scholarship's fake, right?
Why are you so desperate
to stay in this school?
Well, why did you insist
on doing this together?
You don't need the money.
By the way, about this message.
Why not change it
so it's clear we're on their side?
What?
Well, for example
Let's see.
We add something like this to the message.
Sorry, what?
Well, we'll have to practice it.
Look at the screen.
What is this? It's cute.
Right?
Come here.
Move more intensely.
Bigger movements.
Ready, and
KEEPING YOUR LOVE SAFE
LOVE KEEPER
IT'S A SECRET CONTRAC
LOVE KEEPER
SO DON'T TELL ANYONE
You're killing it lately.
You know it.
Seems fun, sneaking around behind my back.
What?
I'm onto you, dude.
For real? How?
So? Who are you dating?
What?
Surely you're not still trying
to get expelled.
Don't drag that girl into it too.
You got it wrong, man.
I'm not dating anyone for starters.
Yeah, best keep it secret.
I told you, you got it wrong.
-By the way.
-Yeah?
When I went to pay up today,
the debt had decreased.
How come?
They said your dad is paying.
Wow, really?
Pretty fishy, right?
I wonder how he's making money.
Who cares? As long as it's being paid.
Well, you've got a point.
Ta-da!
A friend got me a souvenir
from South Korea.
But I won't use it, so it's yours.
What? Are you sure?
Oh, there's two in here!
Can I open them?
Yeah.
Wow, so pretty.
What a lovely color.
Right?
It looks great on you.
I love this color.
Thank you.
Sure.
So, that Maki seems like a nice guy.
He does?
Shame about the no-romance rule.
Oh, stop it.
I don't need romance anyway.
Maybe not right now.
But I hope that someday
you'll experience falling in love.
Hey, what is it?
Nothing. I was just wondering.
About what? There's nothing.
Listen, we're not a couple.
We were just talking.
Then show me your phone.
I'll believe you if your photos are clean.
You heard her!
You don't have the right!
Stop it!
If you can't, then you're dating!
We're not, I said!
Then show me.
-Do it.
-Delete those photos!
That's it for the first day.
Reschedule shifts like this.
I'll check the second day.
SCHOOL-TRIP PATROLS
Hey.
You shouldn't take things this far.
The principal asked me to do this.
The trip is soon,
so we have to be prepared.
You're too worked up about it.
Can't you take this more seriously?
You've got the lowest catch rate.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Quite a lot of people
do support rabbit hunting.
Not everyone wants romance.
Does that mean a lot of people
support the no-romance rule too?
-Looks like it.
-What's this?
"Love Keeper"?
-You know about it?
-No.
They help people
who get put on the tip site.
-What?
-They'll help if you pay them.
-For 200,000 yen?
-What?!
If you're reported,
you get sent a message and a video.
-No way!
-We can date?
And they'll save us as long as we pay?
Like a romance savior?
We can shorten "Love Keeper" to "LK."
LK is awesome.
Maybe I'll ask them for help too.
-You don't have a boyfriend.
-Why do you have to say that?
It's blackmail, right?
Maybe they're students here.
That's very likely.
But how are they saving people?
THIS IS BAD! RUMORS ARE GOING WILD
"LK" SOUNDS A BIT LAME, DOESN'T IT?
THAT'S NOT THE POIN
SCHOOL MAY FIND OU
NOT ABOUT WHO WE ARE
IT'S BECAUSE OF THE DANCE
LK IS GOING ON HIATUS FOR A WHILE
YOU'RE QUITTING?
WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY?
MESSAGING REQUES
IS THIS LOVE KEEPER'S ACCOUNT?
Please help.
I think someone took a photo
of me and my partner today.
Please be seated.
We will continue with the Gospel of Mark
from last week.
Dispatched on a mission
Both their families are devout Catholics.
Premarital sex is banned,
so they can't tell their parents.
And neither of them have their own money.
In that case, maybe we can
do it for free just this once?
Don't get the wrong idea.
What?
This is business.
What if we do it for free
and word gets out?
No one would pay anymore.
Yeah, but still.
Don't you have any interest at all
in safeguarding the students' love lives?
I'm not completely uninterested.
But I'm doing this for money.
"We've never felt this way before,
and we don't want to lose each other."
Haven't you ever fallen in love before?
Have you?
Well,
when you put it that way
Anyway,
if they don't pay, we don't help.
You need money too, don't you?
They're not responding.
I'm sorry things turned out like this.
It's not just your fault, Asahi.
Should we ask the priest for advice?
God may forgive us but my parents won't.
It's the same for you, surely?
Are we really that sinful?
No matter what happens,
I won't change.
Let us pray.
You know, I've never really
fallen in love with anyone.
I sent you a message saying
"I love you," right?
Yes.
See? I'm just superficial.
Maybe something's wrong with me
as a person.
That's why I find it so incredible
that people would risk expulsion for love.
It's not unnatural for a high schooler
to have never truly fallen in love.
Even if you never fall in love,
you needn't think
there's anything wrong with you.
But please consider spending your life
with people you care about
and with the people you need.
It's different if you'd rather be alone.
But otherwise
needing someone,
and being needed in return,
can carry great meaning
in your life, Miyama.
Yeah.
I can't wait to graduate.
What?
Then we won't have to keep it a secret.
If you're still in love with me by then.
We should go.
Your parents will worry.
Yeah.
Thirteen students have been expelled
in the four months since the merger.
Don't you think that's too many?
The point of going co-ed
was to address the falling birthrate.
This defeats that purpose.
That is how many students have scorned
the school rules and broken them.
When we held the student briefing session
about the merger,
we absolutely prohibited romance
between boys and girls.
If we now allow degenerate conduct,
we will lose girls from venerable families
seeking a prestigious school.
Surely that defeats the purpose.
The school isn't only for girls anymore.
From an economic perspective,
on average, donations
by guardians of female students
are triple that of male students.
But that's
We're in a transition.
The school trip is next month.
If we do not take a firm stance now,
the students will not see
that we are serious.
Very well.
Indeed, it would be unwise to lose favor
with the wealthier guardians.
But it's a different matter
if any problems arise in the future.
Then you would be responsible,
Ms. Ikushima.
Of course, that is my intention.
How can we not get any free time
during the school trip?
Totally.
Let's go out at night. No one will know.
I want to, but won't they be watching?
Would they go that far?
I can imagine it.
-Man
-I bet they will.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARU
SEE YOU AT THE LIBRARY ON WEDNESDAY
This is unusual.
Are you looking something up too?
What? Oh no, I
Shinoda, huh?
I'm borrowing a psychology book.
I come here sometimes.
Okay. I see.
I'm here. Did you wait long?
No.
Okay. That's good.
Are you coming on the school trip, Haru?
Oh, I
Will you miss me?
I'll send you some photos.
Reply right away.
-Should I?
-What? Why not?
Don't mess about again and trouble Dad
just because you're bored.
You're one to goddamn talk.
Don't take that tone with me.
Go fuck yourself!
Hey!
How dare you speak like that?
-Ryogo.
-He started it.
Mom's favorite.
-You asshole!
-Will you ever stop disappointing me?
So?
Can't beat him in talent,
so you just beat him up?
Have I ever asked
anything difficult of you?
I've told you to live as you like.
Just don't cause trouble
for your brother and me.
Let's hear Ryogo's side of the story.
You shut up.
But he wouldn't just
I said shut up!
Forget it.
Maki?
You scared me.
It's you, Arisawa. What's up?
Nothing.
Could this be what you're looking for?
There it is!
Look at this.
You've written all about LK here.
Be more careful.
You know
ever since I was a kid, I've been bad
at sitting down and studying.
My grades were bad.
My brother was a good student,
so my dad didn't really care about me.
He gave up on me.
I thought it would be nice and easy.
But it's pretty hard
having nothing expected of me.
You wanted him to have expectations?
At first
when I didn't know
what kind of person he was.
What kind?
When I stand up to him
he beats my mom.
That way he can make
both me and my mom suffer at once.
So
that time when we first met
at the hospital,
the person hospitalized was
You asked me whose money
was paying for me to study abroad, right?
Yeah.
I want it to be my own,
which is why I now need to earn.
I want to take my mom
out of that house too.
Do you
have time now?
You bike all this way to school?
I'm used to it.
You asked me why I'm so desperate
to stay in our school.
Ema and I promised
to change our lives at that school.
Change your lives?
Yeah.
My mom works as a housekeeper.
She sees a lot of wealthy households.
When she saw a girl about my age
in one of those houses
she realized she wanted
to give me that kind of life too.
That's why she got me into that school.
So,
I want to take her into that world too.
I'm just like you.
That school's curriculum,
the high-class manners, being able
to go to the school in the first place
Everything the others took for granted
is my passport to the future.
I'll make some tea.
When I learned about his inner thoughts,
I wanted him to know about mine.
I was happy we could share our feelings.
IF YOU PROMISE TO KEEP QUIET,
THIS ONE TIME IS FREE
Do people call this kind of feeling love?
Ichica.
You have to make it.
Be quiet!
The school trip is not a game.
Get off the bus slowly
and don't push each other.
Yes, ma'am.
Kanda.
-Yes?
-Here.
My turn should be tomorrow.
This free time is risky,
so I added more people.
Oh, I see.
What?
I don't want to overlook anything.
Work with me.
Okay.
Arisawa, take this.
I changed the shifts.
Take a good look.
Hi.
Hi.
Thank you.
-Right, thank you.
-Sure.
Good luck at the mixer.
I'll do my best.
Hello.
Do you have time?
I'm really sorry for what I did back then.
Having an affair with your husband.
When you came to see me,
I finally realized
what circumstances I'd driven you into.
You came here just to say that?
I wanted to give you a proper apology.
I've been worried about Ichica
all this time too.
You brought her along
when you confronted me, remember?
Her daughter was there too?
Yeah.
She was in first grade, just like me.
When I saw her, I wanted to protect her.
Do you still see her?
I do, but she doesn't remember that time
or me.
I see.
Wave.
Wave.
Go on.
-Oh, man.
-No way.
Is she into you?
-No way.
-What? But
People's feelings are so simple.
That's why
I don't trust love.
Bringing Ichica along was my fault.
You don't have to worry about her.
You seem to have raised her well.
I envy you.
My son
still resents me.
He's an intensely loving, complex child.
Tell me, Arisawa.
Is there anyone you like?
If he feels betrayed,
there's no telling what he'll do.
No.
Okay.
Here?
That looks good.
-Wait.
-Where are we now?
Hey, are those two rabbit hunting
even during the school trip?
Are they allowed to walk together?
The food that is being placed
in front of you now is today's main dish.
Please enjoy it in good balance
with the steamed vegetables.
You need to cooperate.
LK is our enemy.
We're on a school trip.
They're saving couples who get reported.
They must be stealing data from the site.
How?
Who knows?
That attitude is why
Kanda is snatching Yuzuki from you.
I'm not
-Listen
-Don't forget your vegetables.
Listen.
Maybe they're hacking
Ms. Shinoda's computer.
The tip-site data
must all end up on her computer.
Only she has access.
Miyama never leaves
Shinoda's office, after all.
Keep your big mouth shut, Ichinose.
And call her "Ms. Shinoda."
Hey, why are you so angry?
Huh? I'm not angry.
Really? Fishy.
No, you're fishy.
Why?
Please enjoy yourselves.
Thank you.
Wow! Cool!
Amazing. The owner came to greet us.
I think my dad asked him to.
They know each other.
To make sure I don't act recklessly.
"We're watching you"?
Probably.
Why not just openly walk by
hand-in-hand with someone?
Maybe I will.
Is that right?
I did tell Haruto to settle down
by the time he's 30.
Marriage grants men
a degree of social credibility, you see.
That is one firmly-rooted idea.
You graduated from
the University of Tokyo, didn't you?
I have a master's degree
in clinical psychology.
Very impressive.
Perhaps you know Professor Satonaka?
He's from around here. We're old friends.
I had dinner with him a while ago.
You did?
I'll help.
No need.
Tell me, what do your parents do?
Please, no more background checks.
Why are we doing this on the school trip?
I totally agree.
What are you
RUKA ICHINOSE
WE'RE DOING FIREWORKS
PHOTO RECEIVED
THIS SCHOOL TRIP ONLY HAPPENS ONCE
Ruka.
Hey, what were you up to?
It's been a while since we really talked.
Maybe because we suspended LK.
Yeah.
What will you do?
Are you going to quit?
I want to continue.
It's kind of fun.
Me too.
I need the money.
Okay, then.
Once the school trip is over,
we'll start again.
About that thing.
Seeing it got me thinking.
That thing?
What I showed you at my place?
You definitely can't date anyone, right?
Hey, what are you doing?
Wait up, you!
-Wait, I said!
-Crap!
No fair. I wanted to do fireworks too.
-Sorry, there wasn't time to get you.
-Sheesh.
Sorry.
Hey, listen.
Don't you think Maki and Miyama
are so hot?
I hear you!
Right?
Yeah, Maki's really stylish on socials.
In what way?
His page is like a pro model's account.
What does that even mean?
Why don't we play a game?
Like what?
We all message Maki or Miyama
and see who they reply to first.
-Wow, that's awful!
-What? No way.
Okay, I choose Maki.
You already decided?
-I pick Miyama.
-You're so up for this.
-And you, Ayami?
-Secret.
-Come on.
-Who is it?
Join us, Arisawa.
I don't know who to pick.
-List some qualities.
-Nice.
Well, he's got a great voice,
he's good at basketball,
he's got a cute smile,
and he gets dimples here.
You totally love him!
Hi, it's me.
What is it?
Things okay over there?
Your dad?
He's in a good mood. Haruto has
What?
Just write whatever.
KEEP IN TOUCH
Everyone done?
Send it to either one.
Ready?
KEEP IN TOUCH
Oh man!
-I sent it.
-I wonder if they'll reply.
I don't think they will.
-That would be sad.
-Why is it best not to fall in love?
Reason number one.
If I date someone,
I'd get expelled if people knew.
I got a reply.
What?
From which one?
Miyama.
I got a reply too!
Me too!
-No way.
-He's replying to everyone!
Reason number two.
It's tough not being able to read
the other person's emotions.
But I was so happy.
What about Maki? Any replies?
Reason number three.
I learned what falling in love means.
Ayami? Is it Maki?
-Yeah.
-What? I didn't get a reply.
So it's only Ayami?
What did he say?
"Can we talk?"
Oh wow!
He needs something, that's all.
Stuff like,
"Maybe he'll fall for her
while talking about that something."
"I could never compete with someone
so rich and pretty and nice."
Or, "We're from different worlds anyway."
Wretched, self-abasing thoughts like that.
It's best not to fall in love after all.
I'LL DO THE LOVE KEEPER THING
ALONE FOR A WHILE
