(Episode Seven)
Hey, who is she?
She is so pretty!
She is really my type.
I'll go and ask.
No, I'll go.
Idiots! I'm going.
I said I'm going!
- What did you say?
- Are you picking a fight?
Bring it on!
Rock, paper, scissors
Yes! I won!
Why did you suddenly join in?
Oh?
She's gone
This is the last topic.
Starting today, we'll be holding the
parent-teacher-student meetings.
This is our best opportunity to
gain the guardians' trust,
so please give it your all
in the meeting.
We will
Miss Fujiyama and Miss Yamaguchi
will be doing it for the first time.
I assume that you have made some
progress in preparing for it?
Yes. Unlike another class,
I have no students that
I need to worry about.
- She's talking about your class.
- What?
- Miss Yamaguchi.
- Yes?
What is it?
Class 3D is all right, huh?
Yes, everything is okay.
A lot of PTA members will be here,
so please watch
your students carefully
and make sure that they don't
cause any trouble.
But of course
You have to make sure that you don't
cause any trouble yourself first.
Don't worry, Mr Sawatari,
I will show the guardians
my brightest smile.
Your brightest smile, huh?
I look forward to it.
Okay
This will do, right?
Let's do our best!
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Let's start our meeting.
Okay
Why are they all dads?
Sorry to have kept you waiting!
Let's start the meeting
Hey, Matsudaira,
go and buy us lunch!
I have to smile
Mrs Kumai.
Kuma, where's your mom?
All right, then
Kumai wants to go to culinary
school after he graduates, right?
Well, I have to learn a
professional skill, right?
Why are you putting on airs?
Good lord!
I don't know who he takes after.
SeriouslyI wonder if
he is really my son!
Miss Yamaguchi, what do you think?
Yeah, seriously
He is her son from every angle.
Next, Oishi.
- Here
- Hey, Yankumi,
I'm going to a matchmaking party,
- let me go first.
- Hey
What are you talking about?
- You have to get in line!
- I'm not asking you!
You have nothing to do anyway!
- Wait
- Why did you push my son?
Wait
Stop Stop it!
I'm exhausted.
All the parents and their children
are different
Hey, boys. Why aren't you
going home with your mothers?
Don't be silly,
why do we have to go home
with our moms?
- It's her!
- Who are you waiting for?
Are you waiting for me?
Oh?
I've finally found you!
I almost gave up.
What
What are you doing here?
What's going on?
So she is
Sawada's girlfriend?
What?
Seriously?
Shin, how mean of you! You pretended
that you have no interest in women!
You kept your girlfriend
a secret from us!
And she is so pretty!
I am Natsumi Sawada.
"Sawada"?
That means
Sorry to let you down,
but she is my younger sister.
Younger sister
In your face!
Yes!
Shin, how nasty of you!
You have such a pretty sister,
you should have told us sooner!
It's because he thinks it he
introduces her to you guys,
nothing good will
come of it, right?
Why are you here?
I am here as your supervisor.
If there is any illicit
sexual relationship,
it will be a bad example to others.
What century were you born in?
- So, Natsumi.
- Yes?
Why did you come to see him?
I mean, you didn't have to go to his
school. You'll see him at home.
No, I don't see him at home.
What
I'm living on my own now.
It's kind ofpart of
an experience of the real world.
No way! What the heck?
What? You should've told us.
- I haven't heard.
- That's because I didn't tell you.
Guys, let's go visit his home soon.
That's not the point.
So I kind of miss my brother.
Oh, your sister loves you,
big brother!
It's nice, isn't it? How beautiful
it is to have such a sweet sibling.
- Hey, Natsumi.
- Yes?
Do you have a boyfriend?
No, I don't.
Yes! We'll do this!
The one who gets the highest score
can go on a date with Natsumi.
- What do you think?
- Yes!
Guys, you can't decide that
yourselves!
Sawada, is our big brother worried?
Shut up, it's your turn.
Now hang on. If one of us
marries Natsumi,
we have to call Shin "brother"!
- Right, Shin?
- Don't be ridiculous.
Not "brother", it's "Brother Mine".
- Brother Mine
- It doesn't matter!
Let me call you Brother Mine!
Idiots.
- All right
- You will?
- You will?
- No way, idiot!
Yes! I did it! Strike!
Guys, did you see that?
You have Shizuka, don't you?
It was
a strike.
Lift your arm straight up and
stoop down when you do it.
Then throw the ball
in a straight line.
Thank you.
What's happened?
Why?
You came to my school
because something happened, right?
No, nothing happened.
It's really just because I miss you.
Shin, you look very happy
when you're with your friends.
No, I don't.
Somehow you seem different
from before.
It was right for you to
leave home, wasn't it?
Are Dad and Mom still
the way they were?
The two of them will never change.
(Oedo Family)
I think I got too serious
about the game.
I'm home.
Welcome home, Missy
We have a guest?
Missy, it's me.
Whatwhat happened? Wakamatsu?
I went to the parent-teacher-student
meeting at my daughter's school.
Oh, that's why
I went to a lot of effort to make
myself look like an honest man.
Do I look weird?
You are someone's dad too
Yes!
Hey, Wakamatsu.
- Yes, Boss!
- Tomorrow
- When we go to the meeting,
- Yes?
take this
Why are you dressed like that?
Wakamatsu
Boss!
Day two of the
parent-teacher-student meetings.
Let's do our best.
You shut up and listen to your dad!
Shut up! Don't meddle in my affairs!
What's happened?
You won't believe what's happened!
He said he will move out when
he goes to university!
I'll work part-time, so why not?
Yeah? Okay, let's talk
about it now together.
I won't allow you to do
whatever you please!
It's our house rule that you'll live
with your parents
- until you come of age!
- Yeah, okay
- Let's talk about it.
- House rules don't matter nowadays!
There is no present and past!
Rules are rules!
Matchmaking service video?
Mom, you shouldn't have
brought that here.
Why not? Oh, don't worry about him,
Miss Yamaguchi.
It's what I use for business,
so it costs nearly nothing.
You use it for business?
Well, I've started working at
a marriage consulting agency.
Many nice guys have registered at
our marriage consulting agency.
Actually, I can only introduce them
to our members,
but you've helped me,
so I'm doing this in secret.
It's a special service for you.
There you go.
Oh, come on!
Ouch!
Hello, I am Toranosuke Yamada.
Why did you accept this from her?
I couldn't refuse, so
But it shows her gratitude to you.
Why don't you meet one of them?
I'm not interested.
But really, none of them are good.
I have never dated a woman before.
My hobby is stamp collecting and
His hobby is stamp collecting?
Guys like him still exist nowadays?
I don't want any of them!
If the guys in the video knew that
they were being watched here,
they would be really shocked.
Of course! And on top of that,
they're being criticized too.
- I'm scared of getting married now.
- I know.
What are you doing, teachers?
One of my student's mothers gave me
a matchmaking video.
- Miss Yamaguchi.
- Yes
We have a rule
that says we can't accept money
or goods from guardians.
Don't you know that?
But it's not money.
First of all, you should find
your life partner by yourself!
You are a teacher, you should not
depend on other people so much!
I am a high school teacher.
(Kanji Washio, high school teacher)
I have been divorced once,
but there are no children
between me and my ex-wife,
so I think that will not be a
problem in our relationship.
Oh, I give up
What's the matter?
Nonothing at all.
I see.
Can you celebrate?
Can you kiss me tonight?
What do you think?
Let's just pretend we didn't see it.
I am even more exhausted today.
It must be accumulated fatigue.
I'll get Minoru to massage
my shoulders when I'm home.
Got frozen shoulder?
Yes, frozen shoulder What?
Sawada, what are you doing here?
Buying dinner.
How lonely! A fine young man
like you having a takeout dinner?
We have to feed the children
with meals filled with love,
or this country will be useless.
What are you, an idiot?
Come with me!
Hey, Shin, I'll get some for you.
Thank you.
Why are you just sitting there?
They'll eat it all if you don't eat.
I thought you only ate hot pot
in the winter
It's because Missy loves hot pot.
We have hot pot once a week
even in midsummer.
- Right, guys?
- Yes, Missy
Well, don't be shy.
Have as much as you want.
Oh, sorry, this one, huh?
Thank you.
Hey, Minoru.
Don't keep eating the meat,
eat some vegetables too
But you keep the eating meat too,
Big Bro!
You two!
Don't make yourselves look stupid
in front of our guest!
Yes, Young Boss
So, Sawada,
you have your own home, why did you
move out to live alone?
It must be inconvenient.
Well, I'dalways wanted
to try living on my own.
I'm free to do what I want too.
But don't you get lonely?
Not at all. It's very comfortable.
Well, is that so?
Thanks for dinner.
- Come again any time you want.
- Thanks.
Don't be late tomorrow.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
Do his parents not worry about him?
Well, all families in this world
are different.
Just because you're
related by blood,
it doesn't guarantee that you can
understand each other.
And there are families
like ours too.
But Don't all parents wish for
their children's happiness?
Well Yeah, of course.
However,
the happiness that parents
think about
doesn't necessarily equate to the
happiness that their children want.
Some parents and their children
break off their relationship forever
after they disagree on something.
Family matters are often something
that's hard to deal with.
(Sawada)
See you.
See you.
Natsumi.
Are you working hard in school?
Both your mom and I
have high hopes for you.
It is your own life in the end.
If you become like your brother,
you will be the one
who regrets it most.
I
What is it?
Nothing.
Shut up!
Final day of the
parent-teacher-student meetings.
I hope nothing will happen
until the end of today.
Let's do our best
Miss Yamaguchi, this is not much,
but please accept it.
We cannot accept gifts from parents.
But it's a rare opportunity.
But rules are rules.
It's Sierra Mouton's cream puff.
What?
Yes.
Thank you.
- See you, Miss Yamaguchi.
- Bye.
Ouch! Stop it
And Sawada is the last one
It's a bit early,
but it's a treat for myself.
Sawada!
How unusual of you to be punctual!
You're on time. Well done.
Where are your parents?
They're not coming.
- What?
- I said, they're not coming.
Don't tell me you didn't
tell your parents about this.
I haven't decided my future courses.
Okay, that's the end of the meeting.
Hey Sawada!
Let's see
"Government officer"?
The description is too imprecise.
Is there a problem, Miss Yamaguchi?
No, there is no problem at all!
I thought it was over too soon!
- Miss Yamaguchi.
- Yes?
You've got cream around your mouth.
Hello, Sawada residence.
Hello, I am Shirokin Gakuin
Class 3D's class teacher,
my name is Yamaguchi.
Thank you for taking care of my son.
Well, we are holding meetings
to discuss
the students' future courses
when they graduate.
What?
So He didn't tell you, did he?
Yes?
It. Is. Me!
I'm here.
I'm here.
You idiot
You should be happy.
I am cooking you dinner.
Can you even cook?
Don't make a fool of me!
I always work hard to
prepare myself,
so that I can get married any time.
I'm sorry.
What is it?
Chargrill-style gratin?
That's not "style"! It's charcoal!
We'll have this.
Your apartment is pretty tidy
Empty, actually.
Why did you come here?
Your mom told me.
When you got expelled
from your previous school because
you punched your teacher,
you had a fight with your dad
and ran away from home?
My family has nothing to do
with this, all right?
Well, it doesn't, if you say so.
Don't poke your nose into
my business unnecessarily.
Hey, Sawada, why don't you try to
take some time and talk to them?
You might be able to go home and
make up with them now, right?
I don't want to go back
to a home like that.
My dad only cares about his honor.
So scum like me
don't qualify as a member
of his family.
I see.
It hasn't gone well for you, huh?
Well, you know,
my parents died
over 10 years ago, right?
So I don't really understand this.
But now your parents are alive,
yet you fell out with them
and live separately,
I just think that
it's a bit of a waste.
Did you actually come here
to tell me to go home?
Well, that's what
I was going to do at first
(Natsumi)
What's the matter?
Shin?
It's suffocating me to stay at home.
I want to run away.
Hey, where are you now?
Hello? Natsumi?
Why is there a cop
in front of your house?
I didn't tell anyone at school,
but my dad is a government minister.
Natsumi has skipped school
for three days.
She left today as usual, but
You live in the same house,
why didn't you realize until now?
You are in no position to say that.
Natsumi has never disobeyed me
or her mother until now.
And this suddenly happens
You said something to
incite Natsumi, didn't you?
You have brought disgrace on your
parents, got expelled from school
and finally found a school
that would accept you,
but you still keep causing problems!
What did you say to Natsumi?
It has to be because you incited
Natsumi to do this!
Answer me!
I don't know!
Mr Sawada, looking for Natsumi is
the most important thing now.
I have told someone to, I don't need
a stranger to tell me that.
You just left it to your secretary
to take care of everything again.
What?
Until now,
have you ever made any desperate
efforts for your own children?
How dare you talk to
your father like that!
Shin
Shin!
Now you should know full well.
My family abandoned me
a long time ago!
I'm used to being on my own,
so I don't care at all.
But my sister is different!
I don't want her to go through
the same thing as I did.
I was the one who drove Natsumi
into a corner.
It's because I ran away from home,
that's why my parents put
all their hopes on her.
She came to me because
she wanted to talk to me
I should have paid more attention
to what she was saying.
If anything happens to her
It will be my fault!
Calm down, Sawada.
There is no use blaming yourself,
okay?
I will protect her.
Sawada!
Sawada!
Wait, that's
Yankumi
Sorry for calling you out
at such a late hour.
What are you talking about?
We can't ignore our friend.
I hope Shin won't do anything rash.
He always gets too worked up
when it comes to his sister.
Anyway, let's go look for him.
I'll call the others to help.
Okay, let's go.
Okay
Hello? It's me.
Okay.
Shin got into trouble.
Let's separate to look for him.
You're right. Okay
Guys, you look for him over there.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
Shin!
This way.
Where is he?
Yankumi
We can't find him.
We couldn't find him either.
Where has Shin gone?
Hey!
Matsudaira saw Natsumi go into
the casino bar in Higashi-dori.
I told Shin that she was there,
so he might be heading there.
- Is that true?
- Guys.
I heard that that bar is
a dangerous one.
What do you mean?
Does this place look dangerous?
Let's get out.
You're going already?
It has just started to get exciting.
These girls are so cute.
You can really gamble here,
why don't you play with us?
Sorry, we're just leaving.
Don't give me the cold shoulder.
Come and have a drink with me.
I know a nice place.
Let's go
Shin!
Let's go.
Hey!
Shin
The cops are here!
Shin!
Go now!
But
Don't tell anyone
that you came here.
Okay?
Promise me.
Leave it to me.
Shin!
- Go now!
- I can't!
Just go!
Get out!
Freeze!
You're all under arrest
for gambling.
It's dangerous, please step back
Please step back, it's dangerous.
Please step back!
What is going on?
Sawada!
Shin
Sawada!
Sawada!
Shin
Sawada!
Sawada
"Class 3D, Shin Sawada is expelled
from school for improper conduct"
Sawada hasn't admitted anything.
You didn't listen to him and just
expelled him, that's terrible!
No matter how he got arrested,
going to a place that was exposed as
have gambling going on at night
is something that is
absolutely unforgivable.
The other incidents have been
different circumstances until now.
This time, I won't hold you
responsible as his supervisor,
but Shirokin Gakuin has nothing
to do with Shin Sawada any more.
Make sure you do not have
any contact with him from now on.
Okay?
There is nothing you can do
this time.
Miss Yamaguchi.
Miss Yamaguchi, where are you going?
Shin Sawada is my student.
Is there nothing we can do?
Shin didn't do anything, did he?
I cannot accept this.
Darn!
(Metropolitan Police Department
Kanroku Station)
Mr Shinohara.
Thanks for coming.
Please believe me, he is not someone
who would go to places like that.
I know he just got dragged into this
because he went to help his sister.
Please! Do something to help him!
I know the reason now.
We also know that Sawada
isn't a regular at the bar.
But
He is still a minor,
we can't let him go unless
his guardian comes for him.
Excuse me.
I heard that Natsumi
got home safely.
That's a relief.
You helped her, didn't you?
She did not go there.
Then why were you there?
You don't want to drag your sister
into trouble, right?
If her school finds out
that she went there,
she'll be expelled too.
That's what you thought
and that's why you're keeping quiet,
isn't it?
Sawada!
Please
Don't say anything.
Yankumi.
I'm expelled from school, aren't I?
Graduating together
with all my classmates
seems impossible now.
Shin's dad won't go to
the police station to get him,
so he can't be released.
Please.
Please go there for Shin.
If his guardian doesn't go
to pick him up,
Shin won't be released.
I have taken some measures
to prevent this from going public.
He is still a high school student,
but he went to a place like that.
I think it'd be better to
make him reflect on himself.
Yes, he was there, indeed.
But as his father,
won't you at least let him tell you
the reason that he went there?
Please!
Miss Yamaguchi,
he only wants to bring me trouble.
The purpose of his life is to
disobey his parents.
After he started at that school
with all those scum,
he's caused even bigger problems
than before.
He is just happy to see me worry.
That's who he is.
He is a disgrace to
the Sawada family!
Why don't you trust your own child?
You still dare call yourself
a parent?
I'm stunned that
you can say you are a father.
What?
You never talk to him face-to-face,
and you never try to understand
how he feels.
All you've ever done is
run away from him!
You just don't like it when he
disobeys you to be himself!
What's wrong with you?
What do you see in your children?
If they get good grades
and are good at sports,
and they only listen to what their
parents say, then they are great?
There is something more important
than that in a person!
You have only gotten older,
but haven't you learned something
so obvious?
You are just a teacher,
how dare you talk to me like this!
Who do you think you are?
I am his class teacher.
This is ridiculous.
Wait, Dad.
Miss Yamaguchi is right.
You know nothing about Shin and me!
I am not as obedient as you think.
You have high expectations of me,
so I just try desperately
to meet them.
There are actually so many things
I want to say.
I want to be honest to myself
like Shin!
Shin actually
went there to help me.
I went to a dangerous place myself,
if anyone knows, I'll be expelled
from school, so he said nothing.
Shin was caught because of me.
Step back
Hey!
Step back
Boys
Please, go to the police station
for Shin.
Please!
Please
Please go to the police station
for Sawada.
Please.
Sawada.
You can go now.
Someone has come for you.
Hey.
Guys
Hey, Shin.
Hi, Shin.
We got tired of waiting.
Good lord!
Don't carry all your burdens
on your shoulders.
When it gets too difficult,
depend on other people a little
and ask your friends for help,
you idiot.
You have got friends
who'll run around for you all night
long when you are in danger.
You have got friends who'll beg
your dad for help.
Why don't you show them
your vulnerability a bit?
They are all prepared
to be there for you.
Right?
Sorry.
I've brought you trouble.
Come on, don't be a stranger!
We don't think of it as trouble
at all!
We do it because we want to.
Yes, they are right.
Natsumi
I am sorry, Shin.
Idiot.
By the way, Sawada,
if you are late again tomorrow,
you're cleaning the toilets.
What are you talking about?
- I
- You're not being expelled.
You went to help someone,
so of course you won't be.
Mr Shinohara convinced
Mr Sawatari.
Mr Sawatari made a sour face,
though.
Until the day you graduate,
I am your teacher.
Guys, let's go back inside.
Let's go!
Hey, what's the first thing
you're going to say?
In a comical tone?
Sawada has now returned!
Do it yourself.
Oh, your attitude is so cold.
Come on, try to smile.
Stop it.
Oh?
Let's do it!
You are laughing cheerfully!
Shut up!
It's not bad to do that
from time to time!
Mommy!
Mommy
Yuta has run away.
Let's go and find him.
He is not my biological son.
Do you still not get it?
- Yuta's mother
- Mommy!
Yuta!
is here, right?
Maybe we look like a family.
Stand up, please.
Sit down!
You have to eat what people
give you with a grateful heart.
