Original subtitles

This was some time after Ringo came to this school.

Slow down, Wakadanna!

Man, there's no need to rush.

Just as encounters are always unexpected,

findings are also unexpected,

and they leave us dazzled.

The Smile You Showed

What in the world?!

Wow. This is a mess.

Have the cops been told?

I knew this would happen eventually.

Yeah, there isn't even a fence here.

Are there any witnesses?

I want a clearer picture.

I saw it.

I'm sure it was a child.

A child?

The child was wearing a grayish coat and running with some vegetables.

W-What time did you see this?

It was after I had tended to the cows and was heading home,

so it would have been past eight.

This is something that was dropped.

It seems you're telling the truth.

What are you going to do, Kamatori Kei?

If a child did this, we need to find out why.

Are you saying it's not just a simple case of theft, but instead a case of starvation?

I can't go on anymore, Patrasche.

Setsuko! Hanako!

The Little Match Girl!

The swallow in The Happy Prince!

It's always the pure and vulnerable who suffer!

Hey.

What is it, Nakazawa Minori?

I'm raising a potential social issue with Kamatori Kei here—

Isn't this the work of a monkey?

A monkey?

Don't you agree, Kousaku?

Yeah, I agree.

Wait. He was walking with two legs though.

If it's for a short distance, wild monkeys can walk on two legs, too.

Yeah, they can even run while carrying a watermelon.

A-Are you saying you've seen that happen?

Well, the place Minori and I came from is literally a farm village.

We had dogs, monkeys, and pheasants.

Is this folklore or something?!

Hunter?

Yes. Luckily, there's only one monkey,

so we only have to get rid of that one.

Get rid of?

Hello. I'm Oomori.

Who is this strange old—

That's too direct, Ringo!

Who's this strange old guy?

What are you saying, Boobs?!

What's the meaning of this, Kamatori Kei?

I had some hope when you said you knew someone,

but who is this geek?

Looks are 90%, which means the other 10% is unknown.

Be amazed. Despite his appearance, he's a blowgun professional!

A blowgun professional?!

I am your founder of the Oomori blowgun arts.

"Your"?

By the way, where's your blowgun?

These are my blowguns.

Those are your blowguns?

Yeah, they're my sniper blowguns.

Sniper blowguns?

O-Oh, okay.

I thought they were anime posters or something.

Actually, they are.

I make my blowguns by rolling up anime posters.

Oh! Okay!

May I ask what kind of things you usually hunt with those blowguns?

The occasional RL enthusiasts.

RL...

Hmm, I see.

Did you hear that? Isn't he kind of dangerous?

Um, sorry to ask, but what do you do for work?

What's an RL enthusiast?

I'm a no-job! (Unemployed)

This stance is named after the way you put your mouth to the tube.

It's called the Mouth Tube.

Is that so?

That was my RL enthusiast killing—

Not interested!

Let's go.

I'll beat you good, monkey!

Go for it!

Its arm...

Kousaku.

No, Ringo. You can't show mercy.

That's right.

Our crops are our priority.

I'm not sure whether he got separated because he was injured

or if he got injured after becoming separated,

but either way, he's the odd one out.

Now then, what should we do with him?

Yoshida, be more respectful.

You're slow, Kamatori Kei.

I've already thought about this monkey's future.

I asked a friend of mine who works at a zoo to see if they could take him in.

Oh, I see. A zoo.

They only have females at the moment, so once he is sent there, he can expect to mate.

Thank goodness.

He'll be able to start over as a new man. I mean, a new monkey.

Thanks, Yoshida.

I owe you.

Wh-What do you mean by th-that?!

I-I didn't do this for y-you! I did it for the m-monkey!

Yeah.

Coming.

What is it, Kousaku?

Can I come in? There's something I want to discuss.

Can you give me an hour?

I'd prefer now if possible.

Stupid! I have to prepare!

It won't be long.

An hour?

Come in.

Excuse me.

W-Welcome, Koutan.

Did you renovate or something?

Yeah, but don't let it bother you.

Did you want to take a shower first?

Not really.

Wait. Does that mean you want to shower with me after we're done?

Oh, that must be Kei.

Kei?

Yeah, I asked him to come too.

Come in.

Excuse—

She renovated, it seems.

It was meant to be a yes... A yes...

Oh, I see.

Koutan, what did you want to talk about?

Oh, right. It's about Ringo.

Good night.

Die!

Why?! I haven't said anything yet!

Just die!

I'm not dying! Besides, what did I do wrong?!

You're not going to live long.

Why is that—

More importantly, take a look at this.

Are you ready, everyone?

Make sure to sing along with me.

Is this a DVD of Kusakabe Yuka?

I disposed of so many, yet you still had some hidden?

I re-bought them with my pocket money.

More importantly, take a look.

Don't you see anything odd?

Well, she clearly looks a lot friendlier.

It's hard to believe she's the same person as Kinoshita.

You're right. She looks really happy.

That's it!

It's her smile.

She hasn't smiled once since she came to this school.

During the first day of school, the panties incident, meals, the King Says game,

Minori's challenge, or even when we heard good news about the monkey,

not once has she smiled.

Well, this is probably for the camera and audience though.

That's true, but isn't it a little sad that someone we live with never smiles?

You've got a point.

Right?

Okay.

If it's a joke you need, I'm your man.

Fancy meeting you here, Kinoshita.

By the way, would you mind checking my quick trick?

Sure.

Dark matter!

And then?

In that case, I'll make her laugh.

Kinoshita-san.

Tickle, tickle, tickle!

Tickle, tickle, tickle!

Damn you, Minori! I want to do that!

But that's a good idea!

Well? How are my skills?

Come on, come on.

How about this then?

Here? Is here good?

T-That's...

Your body is honest.

There's no need to hold it in.

Give in to the pleasure.

I give in!

Are you at your limit? Huh?

It’s my turn now.

Stop! Stop!

What are you trying to do?

W-Well...

You always have a serious look on your face, so I thought maybe you didn't like the life here.

So you tried to make me laugh?

Sorry, we didn't mean to trouble you, but maybe we went a little overboard.

I can't smile.

I... can't smile.

At first, I was told that my expression was a little stiff.

I thought I was just a little tired.

But, it eventually got to the point where I couldn't smile

no matter how hard I tried, nor make any other expression.

I had nowhere to go,

just like that monkey.

But that monkey found a new home, so you should—

Thank you,

and I'm sorry.

Can you really become unable to smile?

I can't be certain, but it's probably something psychological.

Kusakabe Yuka...

Maybe Kinoshita Ringo got tired of trying to meet everyone's expectations.

Does that mean she'll eventually get better?

I can't say.

I want to see her smile.

Do you think it's selfish of us to want that?

Kousaku.

Kousaku.

Wakadanna?!

I'm not Wakadanna.

I'm Gaia.

Gaia?!

That's right. There's something I want to tell you.

Tell me?

Think back, Kousaku.

Think back to what humans have done to me,

and where you are now.

Do not forget, Kousaku, that Gaia is always calling you.

Wait, Waka—

Gaia! Gaia!

What was that?

What humans have done to Gaia, huh?

Nashi Pear Orchard

I'm thinking of taking Ringo to that place.

To show her that soil.

That might be good. They do share a similar situation.

Yeah, something might reach her if we show her that.

Agriculture high schools have agriculture clubs, you see,

and where we're heading to now is the place where past students of our school started a certain project.

A project?

That's right.

I thought you might be interested.

Is this it?

Not the tomato field?

This part first.

Try touching the soil.

The soil?

Yeah.

It's all rough and dry.

Yeah, that's dead soil.

What do you mean?

Crops won't grow here.

That's why it's called dead soil.

Why?

Repeated cultivation. You studied it during the supplementary lessons, right?

If you keep growing the same crop in the same soil, they'll eventually stop growing.

That's right.

However, the blind will use chemical fertilizers to cover the drop in production

which causes the spread of diseases and harmful insects, causing them to use even more agrochemicals.

This is the result of that foolish chain of events.

Will this soil never recover?

This field started with the same soil as over there.

It used to be one field.

Past students of our school started this project, and we inherited it.

It's taken seven years to get it back to this state.

Seven years...

As you might expect, it hasn't completely recovered yet.

Still, the crops here are doing their best to live in this soil.

Will this place be reborn, then?

Hey, is it okay if I eat one of those tomatoes?

Now?

Yeah.

All right.

Here you go.

It's bitter.

It probably hasn't ripened yet.

But I'll still eat it.

Yeah, it's bitter.

Right?

But... it's good.

Ringo, you just...

Kinoshita-san! Here. Take this one too.

This one's redder.

Oh, what about this one?

This one's pretty red, too.

What about this one?

Crops grown with care can satisfy both body and soul, bringing happiness.

Furthermore, raising crops brings joy.

I hope you'll understand this one day.
