He did it.

Oushima from my class 3-a did it.

Wow.

That's a well-known university.

My students also did great on the exams. Now we're just waiting for the results.

My class 3-b's Hamada received an offer from Global.

That's a first class enterprise for Info-Tech.

-As expected from you Kamiyama-sensei. -Thank You.

That's great.

Congratulations to you.

Congratulations.

Yamaguchi-sensei.

This is no time to clap for them. Why are you so carefree?

Do you understand the situation of your class?

Huh?

Graduation is close, and most of 3-d's students still have undecided futures.

That's not the only thing.

They only have enough attendance for math class.

You never know what those guys will do if you leave them alone.

Do you understand?

I understand.

Do you really?

I do really.

Really?

Yes really.

No...

You guys, graduation is right around the corner.

What?

I'm talking about your path in life.

If you've decided then it's good, but if you haven't you better get started soon.

I see. That's why you have that look on your face.

-There's no need to rush. -It'll all turn out good.

How about thinking about it seriously? It's about your futures.

Well, we don't have any dreams.

Therefore, I will interview each one of you regarding your futures.

-What? -No complaining.

Fifteen minutes each. We'll go in order.

About my future?

Of course I've thought about it.

What? Really?

I will become Japan's No. 1

Japan's No. 1

I will become Japan's No. 1 job-hopper.

A company president sounds so cool.

Yeah, don't worry about how it sounds. What kind of company's president do you want to be?

I haven't thought of that.

Then think about it.

Actually the two of us are planning to make a comedy duo.

What?

Yankumi, we'll show you what we're made of.

Comic duo graduation! Thank you.

No, no need.

Job?

I have it all decided.

Really?

It pays well and I'm treated well too.

What kind of a job is it?

I'm a bartender's apprentice.

I only worked there for a little bit. They told me I have talent and asked me if I would work there full time.

That's great.

I'm not smart so I was thinking about what I should do in the future. After hearing that from them,

I thought maybe I'll work hard at it.

I see. They acknowledge you.

I guess it's my skills.

When it's official, I'll tell you. So look forward to it.

Yeah, do your best Hyuga.

See ya.

For now, there's at least one person who's decided.

Alright.

Now for the next person.

Noone's here.

I was stupid for thinking they would wait out there for me.

Yamaguchi-sensei, let's go for a drink today.

Huh?

I need your advice. Regarding love.

Love?

Oh, is it about the destined man you were talking about?

Why you...

Fallen-for-love teacher.

I wonder who he is.

Please listen to me while we're drinking.

Okay.

I'm embarassed to say this, but I don't have that much experience in love to be able to give you any advice.

Is that so? Then I'll ask Kujo-sensei for advice.

I'll go. If you're okay with my unlucky experiences.

Let me join you too.

What?

If it's advice about love, leave it to me.

Sorry for the wait.

You finished?

Just finished.

You guys skipping it.

Interviews are too bothersome.

She's getting excited all by herself about it.

Ok, so where should we go?

Right.

Sorry.

I have to go to work now.

What work?

What do you call it? Night job.

Actually I was hired at a great place. I'll probably focus on this job.

It's about time I thought about the future seriously.

It's not like we'll be like this forever.

See ya.

What's with him.

He's decided.

Let's go.

Yeah.

We sold a lot today too, Bro.

Hey Minoru, how about I take you out for a drink?

Eh?

It's been so long. Shall we go there?

Really?

Ojou.

-Hello. -Hello.

Can you tell Grandpa I'll be going drinking so I'll be late today.

What?

By the way, who are you going with?

With my colleagues and Momo Girls' Kujo-sensei.

Kujo.

Thanks.

See ya

Have a nice time.

Ojou looks so happy.

Minoru, we're not going to that shop.

What?

Go home before me.

No.

Wow, if Shiratori-sensei fell in love at first sight, then it must be a great man.

Yes of course he is.

What is he like?

He's tall, has clear eyes, has a mature face, but has a really cute smile.

That's great. I guess it's true. Your destined person is surprisingly very close to you.

Right, Kujo-sensei?

You're right.

I also think so. Right, Yamaguchi-sensei?

No.

Please try the wine. How is it?

This is good.

Oh, Kujo-sensei.

Work, huh?

What are you gonna do after you graduate?

I haven't decided yet.

How about you?

I haven't either.

What is this?

What a weird wallet.

I brought money.

Do I look like a freeloader?

Excuse me...

My wallet.

We picked it up from over there.

Such honest guys.

Come on, drink with me.

We're students.

And we can't drink.

Eat up.

That was delicious.

Everyone, thank you for coming today.

-Please call anytime you want. -We'll be glad to anytime.

Yamaguchi-sensei.

My destined man is at the counter.

What?

Don't look.

He's drinking alone. What should I do?

This is a sign from God. You have to confess to him.

But I can't go alone.

Yamaguchi-sensei, please come with me.

What? Okay.

Please.

What?

Excuse me, are you by yourself?

No, I...

Tetsu.

You two know each other?

He's the man that sells takoyaki near the shrine.

Yes, that's right.

From that time.

Your name is Tetsu.

I'm a teacher at Kurogin Academy. My name is Shiratori Hitomi.

Thank you very much for helping me the last time.

You're welcome.

What have you been upto?

I'm sorry. I just came for a drink.

I'm sure there's a reason why we met once again.

How about going for a drink now?

No, I'll be leaving now.

Goodbye.

He seemed busy.

-He probably has to prepare for tomorrow. -Tetsu.

Sorry guys.

Why do we have to do this?

So heavy. Where do you live?

That way.

Which way?

I drank too much.

If Ojou found me in this state, she'd go crazy.

Ojou?

Our fourth generation leader.

What do you mean?

Sounds dangerous.

Ojou's beautiful, and she's strong at fights, and she's smart.

She's Oedo Household's number one Ojou.

Oedo Household?

Man, what are you doing?

If they find out that I'm Oedo Household's granddaughter, I won't be able to teach at school.

I'm sorry. I'll be more careful.

Hyuga.

Yankumi.

This person is Mr. Tatsumi from the place I work at.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. I'm Hyuga's homeroom teacher, Yamaguchi.

Please take care of him.

I will.

Such a young and cute teacher.

Cute, you say?

-See ya. -Yeah.

He looks like a respectable man.

But he looks a little dangerous.

You're one to talk.

I'm home.

Minoru.

What have you been doing?

What is it, Tsuga-chan?

Thank you for bringing him home.

No problem.

-Tsugahara. -Yes.

-Please bring them a thank-you gift. -Yes

No, we're fine.

We'll be leaving now.

Then please stay until you're rested.

-I'm home. -Welcome back.

Oh, you guys are here.

Don't be shy. Come on in.

Why are you here?

You're supposed to be the beautiful Ojou?

Yes.

You idiot. This is all your fault.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure you're surprised seeing such bad-looking guys.

Even though they look like this, they're really interesting and good guys, right?

Yeah.

Excuse me, what is the Oedo Household?

Yeah.

A theatrical company.

Huh?

A touring one, right?

Yes.

The one at the end is the Oedo group's actor Tsugawara.

I'm Tsugawara.

And this one is the male actor in female Kabuki roles, Wakamatsu.

Ara, I'm called Wakamatsu. Nice to meet you.

The one in charge of stage settings, Minoru.

And the star actor, Tetsu.

Nice to meet you.

And the chairman.

It's no use.

I can't watch this. How long are you planning to act like this?

I'm sure the students already know.

Really?

You're really bad at acting.

Why are trying to hide it?

Young men like you might not understand this but the society is very picky.

If they find out about my background, I'll be fired.

So I hid it till now. But now that you know, then I can't help it.

It's not really important.

We're not interested in a teacher's background.

We're not going to expose you.

You guys really are my students.

-You guys understand? -You really are good people.

Alright, let's have a drink.

Drink up.

-Wakamatsu. -Yes.

These guys are underaged.

I knew that.

Please take care of Kumiko.

Thank you.

Please take a seat here.

-Please choose a drink from here. -Thanks.

He's pretty good.

Yes.

Get me some cigarettes. One pack of Marlboro Lite.

You can keep the change.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Quiet guys.

I brought "You can still make it College" and "The end of High School". And I also have list of job offers.

Once again, think...

Is Hyuga absent?

Isn't he working?

Even during the day?

He seems to have a lot of money too lately.

It looks like he hasn't been going home either.

Really?

Yeah.

He said it was a night job but what is he doing?

But he looks a little dangerous.

Don't tell me he's been working for dangerous guys.

Idiot.

She's bringing it on herself.

Hyuga Kosuke.

Father transferred to a job away from home, mother is a housewife.

Yamaguchi-sensei.

Were you thinking of doing something unnecessary again?

No, not at all.

I've told you many times.

Do not get personally involved with class 3-d students.

As long as they graduate without causing any problems, that is more than enough for us.

Besides, you are...

Hello.

Where is Yamaguchi-sensei?

She already left.

Yama-Baba.

Hello.

Long time no see.

Doing good?

Hey hey, what have you been doing?

What is that?

This? The owner told me that your value won't increase unless you wear expensive stuff.

We were worried because you weren't coming to school?

You know I'm really busy nowadays.

A night job needs a lot of work.

If I work hard at it, they might make me the manager.

The guy I'm learning from now seems to be some big shot.

Obviously working under such a guy makes me want to work even harder.

You're not doing some dangerous jobs, are you?

What?

What are you saying? You sound like Yankumi.

We're just worried about you.

How about worrying about yourself?

You guys still haven't decided on your jobs yet, right?

Try saying it one more time.

Tsucchi.

Stop being so arrogant.

stop it.

Work's so great?

Stop it already.

Why don't you stop this....

I'm busy so I'm gonna go now.

It's my treat today.

Hyuga.

What the hell.

That really makes me mad.

What? He hasn't been home for a whole week?

No, he comes home to get a change of clothes, but he doesn't tell me where he's staying no matter how much I ask.

Have you been in touch with him?

Yeah, he answers when I call his cellphone, so it's okay.

Cellphone, that's...

I'm worried that if I bug him too much, he might stop taking my calls too.

I feel ashamed for being such a weak mother.

Kosuke.

What are you doing here Yankumi?

I came to speak to your mother because you seemed a little weird lately.

Huh?

There's nothing weird. I have a job, that's all.

Job?

You haven't told your mother yet?

I was planning to tell her when it was official. And then I'm going to live on my own.

Hyuga. Why don't the three of us talk this through?

And tell your mother about your work properly too.

It's too much trouble.

You know, the compulsory education's over already. I'm over 18 now. An adult.

Parents have nothing to do with it anymore.

-They do. -They don't.

It's okay. I won't force you if you're unwilling.

Sit down. Talk to your mother.

That's too annoying.

What do you mean? It's obvious to tell your parents these things.

-Sensei. -I told you it's annoying.

Don't interfere in everything I do.

Sorry. I know.

Mrs. Hyuga, you call yourself his mother?

Why are you taking care of what he says so much?

If he hates his home or school, it's a parents job to force their children to listen to what is right.

When children are walking the wrong path, shouldn't you be helping him come back to the right path?

You were the one who told me to decide my future.

You said to find a job and become independent. Don't complain now.

Hyuga.

I apologize for him.

No.

Children turn into adults while we're not looking.

Not too long ago, he was following me around yelling "Mommy, mommy".

Can't believe he said it's annoying to talk to his mom.

As if he became an adult all by himself.

Even if he gets a job while he's like that, we'd be worried.

Is it really true?

Huh?

Eighteen years old is a difficult age in life to decide the border between an adult and child.

Your student is in the middle of finding out what he can do and cannot right now.

There are a lot of adults that failed in life after they separated from their parents and stepped into the world.

I think that's how people discover what they really want to do in life.

Welcome, right this way.

I'll take care of them.

Yes.

-Hamaguchi Takumi? -Yes.

Hyuga Kosuke?

Hyuga's absent I guess.

Who cares about that guy.

He doesn't even deserve our worry.

Did something happen?

He makes me mad.

What exactly happened?

We met Hyuga yesterday.

And he had this "I'm different from you guys" attitude. That's why Tsucchi's angry.

Having decided your job, does that make you great?

If he wasn't acting like that, I would've been happy for him. But I just can't anymore.

So you're saying he's not your friend anymore?

Maybe Hyuga has an attitude now. But he wasn't able to see his future and was losing his confidence.

He was desperately trying to find what he's good at.

At a time like that, if someone accepts you, of course you would get a little arrogant.

But Hyuga's feeling just as insecure as all of you.

What is it?

I was worried about what happened yesterday.

What about it?

Your working right now?

Yeah.

Are you eating properly?

You're asking about that? I'm busy. I'm hanging up now.

Kosuke.

You call yourself his mother?

When children are walking the wrong path, shouldn't you be helping him come back to the right path?

-That hurts. -I'm sorry.

Where are looking?

-Be careful next time. -I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry.

I wonder if Hyuga's gonna stop coming to school.

I understand what Yankumi's saying.

-Can't help it. -Huh?

He forgets what's around him right away.

Right.

And he hates to lose.

Those habits keep turning up, right?

He said he was still an apprentice, right?

Yeah.

Don't you think it's strange that they're paying him so much for that?

Maybe night jobs have high pays.

What's wrong?

I just thought that it's too good of a story.

You guys, no matter what you say, you're still worried about Hyuga.

Yankumi.

Why do you always show up so suddenly?

I feel a little at ease after hearing you guys say all that.

Well, we don't want him to quit school.

We can't help it.

Kosuke.

-Here you go. -Thanks

Hello.

I found Kosuke.

What?

Sensei, what should I do?

I really want to talk to him and bring him to the right path.

Where is it?

It's a store called "Mikaile" on Sumire Avenue.

-"Mikaile" on Sumire Avenue? -What?

What's wrong? You know that place?

That place might be dangerous.

I heard rumours about that place. They have illegal gambling in there.

Mrs. Hyuga, we're on our way. Please don't move from where you are. Okay?

This is Mr. Tatsumi's cigarettes.

Welcome.

Don't be so scared.

We look like a normal bar, but our real business is about that.

Well, we were going to have you work on this side too later on.

But, that's dangerous.

You mean it being illegal?

Isn't that obvious.

We can't make enough profit from a legal business.

You're not gonna think of quitting now, are you?

But I didn't know you had such a side business.

So you're saying you want to quit?

I won't tell anyone about this.

What are you talking about?

Don't be stupid.

Over here.

Don't try to run.

Walk faster.

This society's not as easy as you think it is.

Get him.

Stop it. Please stop it.

Mom.

It's his mom.

So pitiful, your mom's gonna protect you.

Get out of the way, lady.

You're in the way, get off.

I won't.

Come on.

Don't touch my mom.

Get away from him.

Yankumi.

Yamaguchi-sensei.

We have the cute teacher here now.

Please return my precious student back to me.

I'm just teaching this ignorant brat how strict this world is.

I can't just let him go yet.

I agree that he's still a brat.

But he's still thinking about his life in his own way.

You guys have no right to trample on his feelings.

It's because there's people like you out there, that kids walking on the wrong path can never find the right way.

Shut up.

You still want to continue?

Kosuke, Kosuke.

Don't come to a place like this.

Don't try to act so lame.

What do you mean by lame?

You're the lame one here.

Who makes their parents do all this?

You were able to grow up because you had parents that worried about you.

You don't even understand that. You think you're independent now?

Don't act like you were able to come this far all by yourself.

All parents try to raise their children properly.

Even though it's their own children, they can't recognize them at times.

Even so, they try to raise them properly.

You might make more mistakes in life from now on, but if you do, it's okay to start all over again.

You guys have a lot of time.

Mrs. Hyuga, please take him home.

You will, right? Because you're his mother.

Let's go home, Kosuke.

Let's go home.

Hyuga.

See you at school tomorrow.

Don't be late.

Make sure you come.

We'll be waiting.

Yeah.

Parents are great.

-Gambling inside the shop. -That's scary.

Probably one of the customers.

-Yamaguchi-sensei. -Yes.

I don't think so but you weren't involved in this, were you?

What are you talking about? Of course I wasn't involved in this.

-I thought so. -Yes.

-It was just my imagination, right? -Yes.

Sorry.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

The school didn't find out that Hyuga was working at that place.

Yeah. There are some things in this world that should be kept a secret.

Like your house?

You're not going to take over the business?

By the way, why did you want to become a teacher if you were born in a house like that?

Yeah...

It's always been my dream to become a teacher.

When I was able to decide for myself, that was what I wanted to do the most.

And my Grandpa let me do what I wanted to.

What about your dreams?

Well, there's no rush.

Look for it at your own pace.

So lame.

Why are you so slow, Yankumi? Normal people would notice that.

Idiot.

You guys. The classroom is no place to play ball.

Hey, are you listening?

Brat.

What?

What is it?

Quiet all of you.
