TUTOR

TORAKO

How about this item?

So cute!

- May I try it on? - Yes.

It's that old lady. You understand?

Somebody get him! My bag!

Let go of me!

I'll take him to the police.

I'm sure he's a serial purse snatcher.

Forgive me!

Wait a minute!

Hey, why did you do this?

I won't get mad, just tell me.

I might be able to help you.

CHILDREN'S HOME HOSHIMI FOREST

I am truly sorry.

I'll give him a good scolding, so please don't go to the police...

Don't worry, I wasn't planning to.

Thank you very much.

Well then, I'll be on my way.

I'm sorry.

You know you can't take someone's stuff, right?

But why would he do that?

Maybe...

he wanted to save this institution.

What do you mean?

I looked into it and it turns out that the debt they've had for years has ballooned

and they're one step away from closing down.

Actually, I grew up

in an institution similar to this one a long time ago.

Is that so?

That's why I don't think of their problems.

I would like to help them somehow,

but the amount of money is too large.

Any idea how much is enough to keep it from going under?

30 million.

That much...

If only there was some unknown donor

or someone like Tiger Mask somewhere.

Hey, Teacher,

let me talk to my husband about it for now.

Are you sure?

If I ask him, I know for sure he will help me.

Honey...

- Can I talk to you for a bit? - What is it?

Dad, congratulations.

I saw it online, about the appointment as the new president.

No way! Really?

Mama, here.

That's impressive, Dad.

Tougoku Bank Appoints Toshiaki Uehara as President First Female Vice President to be Appointed!

To appoint a woman as vice president for the first time.

It's also a hot topic at FSA.

In these times when they are calling for women's promotion,

this is nothing to fuss about.

She's very beautiful, the Vice President.

I didn't choose her for her looks. She's quite excellent.

Oh, I'm sorry. So, Honey...

Kenichi, we're having an inauguration party next week.

Can you host it on behalf of the Uehara family?

Of course. It's your big day, Dad.

Maybe I'll ask Tsubaki to play a piece.

Well then, the Stradivarius you bought for me has been delivered,

so I might as well show it off. - Looking forward to it.

I believe the price was 30 million?

Yes, I'll let you hear it's authentic sound.

Dad, can I hang this painting at the party, too?

Oh, whose work is that?

He's an up-and-coming artist gaining lots of attention in New York right now.

And how much is that painting worth?

Luckily, I got it for 30 million.

Oh, what a coincidence. It's also 30 million.

Hey, Honey...

Will the value of it go up in the future?

- Of course. - Then that's pretty wonderful.

Then...

maybe I'll show off my new material at the party.

I call it "My Father is the Strongest Legend".

My father always has a poker face on.

Like, when I was about to be put in a hot bath...

- No need for you to be there. - What?

It's a tough time for you, so why not focus on studying for the exams?

But Honey, Mamoru is family, too.

Ah, it's okay, Mom.

I'm not good at formal stuff either.

- But... - Right.

I ordered about 10 bottles of 1986 Chateau Molei,

did it arrive? - Yes, right here.

It's from the year I joined the bank, and maybe

we could serve it to everyone at my party.

- Yes. - Must be expensive, right?

- How much is a bottle? - Not much.

Since it's 3 million. - That means

for 10 bottles, it would be 30 million.

Dear, actually, there's a children's home nearby that's in financial trouble right now,

and if they had 30 million, they could keep it from going under.

So what?

Would you be willing to help them out?

If it disappears,

these little children will be out on the street.

A charity work at this time would certainly

improve your image as the new president.

Please.

Okay. I'll have the Loan Department review it.

Thank you!

Mamoru, I'm coming in.

Okay...

You've changed too.

I can't believe you're still studying after Teacher Torako's class is over.

At this rate, you can aim for a B on the next practice exam.

Well, yeah.

What? Aren't you happy that your grades are up?

No, I'm happy. I'm even starting to enjoy studying.

Then what is it?

I'm thinking of moving out of this house and renting an apartment very soon.

Wait. What are you talking about?

Because when I became big in comedy, if I said,

"Actually, my family was rich!",

...I wouldn't be a legend, now would I?

Besides, I don't fit in this house,

and being with them just makes my shoulders stiff.

What are you rambling on about?

There's no guarantee at all that you'll be popular in comedy.

Of course, I won't bother you, Mom.

Actually, I've already started part-timing, and looking for an apartment.

I will never forgive you!

You have no idea how fortunate you are to live in this house!

What about you? You haven't looked happy at all since you came to this house.

What are you saying? I'm perfectly happy!

Are you though? No matter how nice you are to them,

my siblings are as cold as ever,

and even Dad doesn't follow up.

R--Right now, your Dad's party is a very big deal.

So, until then, you should stay put.

I will never forgive you if you do anything like that.

What's wrong with him? Suddenly saying weird things.

I'm done taking a bath.

Ah, Teacher, listen to this. Mamoru said....

He said he's moving out of this house and living on his own?

What? You know about it?

Yes, because I agreed.

Why would you do that?

That kid is still in high school.

They say you can't buy your way out of hardship at a young age,

and compared to the children in that institution, Mamoru's hardship is nothing.

That may be true, but...

More importantly, your husband...

will he really loan them 30 million?

Of course. You heard him earlier, didn't you, Teacher?

But didn't he just say he would consider it?

My husband may seem cold at first glance, but he is a caring man.

When his ex-wife passed away,

he immediately add me in the Uehara family registry

and recognized Mamoru so that he could live with us.

- How about a bet, then? - What?

Are people moved by love or by money?

They say that "love is everything,"

but then again, people are animals that don't do anything unless it benefits them.

Especially your husband who is a banker.

You say things like that because you don't know my husband.

I believe in him.

That he will definitely save that institution.

I see. I'm looking forward to it.

- Yes! Teacher, I have a question. - What is it?

Today at preschool,

we were talking about who we want to marry when we grow up,

and the number one pick was a rich person,

why is that?

And what did you answer, Chie-chan?

- Dad! - Why?

Because I love my dad!

But if you marry just for that,

you might regret it when you grow up.

What? Why?

What? You bought another plastic model?

Because the one I've always wanted was on an internet auction.

Do you even know our current financial situation?

Of course, I'll work hard,

and we'll support each other.

What're you talking so naively about?

- Next month, your allowance is down by 10k. - No, no, cut me some slack here!

You buy what you want, too!

This book costs 7,800 yen!

This is for work materials. It's a necessary expense.

If so, then my plastic models are a necessary expense, too!

I work for a company that makes toys.

Your salary will never increase, though.

There goes your brutal comment again.

Before we got married, you said you liked my innocence, that I'd never lose my childishness.

If I had a time machine, I would warn myself back then.

I'd tell her that if she marries with that naive thinking,

she'll have a hard time later on.

Seems like if you marry someone like your dad, you will struggle like your mom.

Okay. I'll marry a rich man too.

You switch over pretty quickly, Chie-chan

- Okay, thanks for the wait! - Thanks for the food!

Madam, how's your health? Since then.

Doing well, doing well!

When I get a little better, I'm thinking

of aiming for the Olympics in the marathon.

Perhaps, recapture your old dream! Something like that.

Damn right!

If I'm telling Takashi to have big dreams,

then I think it should start with me, since I'm free to aim for them.

- Yeah! It's good for your health, too. - Right!

I have a dream, too.

What!?

Didn't you say you were gonna find it after high school or college?

I was planning to,

but because of your cancer, I found something I wanted to do.

And what's that?

I wanna be a doctor.

From now on, no matter what kind of illness you have, I will try to heal you.

What a good, mother-loving kid he is.

- Right, Teach! - Yeah.

But then, Madam, you have to work even harder now.

What?

Medical school is several times more expensive than others,

and it requires six years of study.

Oh no, somehow my stomach is starting to ache again.

Why don't you raise the price for the stewed pork?

Well, that's true,

but our motto since my father's time

has been cheap and good food.

For the sake of our customers who love the stewed pork,

I want to keep the price as it is now.

But it's tough. Prices for goods are only going up.

There's lots of love for it, but not for us.

Welcome home, you're home late.

Getting called out here and there as the new president.

I see. Please don't push yourself too hard.

- I know. - And, dear,

about that children's home we talked about before.

Then it's a no on that.

What...

Why?

The person in charge of that institution seems to lack the ability to run it.

If I give a loan to a place that I can't recoup, I'm just throwing it away.

But there are many children who will be troubled if that place disappears.

That's a problem for the government to deal with, not the banks.

Do something about that, with your love.

And you, why don't you think about what you're supposed to be doing?

And what's that?

There's lots to be done with arranging and preparing for the party.

Why don't you have a little self-awareness as the wife of the president?

I'm sorry.

I heard that the inauguration party will be held here.

It's like a reception hall for the Uehara family,

and this is where they always have their guests over.

- So? - What?

I guess it was a no after all on getting a loan for that institution.

No, it hasn't been decided yet...

You can forget about it now. No one will hold a grudge against you, Mama.

But I think the children will have a hard time finding a next home

or adoptive parents.

But I've come to know them, and I wanted to help them somehow.

Are you planning on using your own savings to help them?

But it's not enough for 30 million at all...

And...

It was put aside for Mamoru's education,

so you can't easily access it, right?

Teacher, what should I do?

Mama, they say the clue to help you in a pinch

is right around the corner.

Huh? What do you mean?

What?

Swap this out for a fake

and use the money from selling to save the institution.

What!?

The price is 30 million, which is just right.

There is no way I could do such a thing.

First, where do we even get fakes?

It is said that nowadays half of the world's art is fake,

and many professionals make forgeries that look exactly like the real thing.

That's right! And while we're at it,

let's replace that painting and the Chateau Molei.

Isn't that a crime!?

Of course they would find out.

I doubt it.

Even on TV show ratings,

those who act like they're top-notch and conceited

can't see past the top-notch quality.

Hello, Higuma Express.

Thank you for delivering it.

Ah... I'll take care of it.

Where do you want me to take it?

Oh, um, over there.

This is a 20,000-yen forgery.

And this one

is a 10,000-yen forgery.

Do you like it? You can't tell the difference at all, right?

Yes, well...

And this is a fake Chateau Molei, at 980 yen a bottle.

By the way, I made the label.

I'm very good with my hands.

Then let's replace it immediately.

Do you know the PIN for this?

Maybe...

Ms. Tsubaki usually makes it to her late mother's birthday.

As expected, Mama!

Then let's replace the painting and the Chateau Molei, too.

Why don't we stop this after all? They will definitely find out!

They have a refined sight, hearing, and palate.

Then why don't we test it out?

If they don't find out, we can sell them.

- Can I have some wine? - Yes, sir.

Since you're here, why don't you have

a taste of Chateau Molei before the party?

What's with you, Teacher, in that outfit?

I thought this would be more appropriate when drinking a real wine.

Cosplaying is a hobby of mine.

I see.

How do you like it? How is the taste?

Hmm?

What's wrong?

This...

tastes even better than I expected.

By the way, the painting Kenichi bought

was also wonderful, wasn't it?

Right? I saw it earlier,

and my eyes were not mistaken.

Oh, Ms. Tsubaki, since you're here,

would you mind letting us hear the sound of Stradivarius?

- What? - I'd like to hear it too.

The piece you'll play at the party.

Kreisler's "Love's Sorrow". It's good.

Mom, are you okay? You don't look well.

Oh, that's not true.

Isn't that wonderful!

What's wrong? Something bothering you?

I didn't think it would sound this good either.

As I thought, the real thing is different.

Yes.

Is that so?

It sounded like something coming from the violin class in front of the station.

Huh? What are you talking about?

Also, I have no idea what's so good about big brother's painting.

Amateurs who know nothing about value should shut up.

Yes, yes. I'm sorry.

4th-rate entertainers will quietly disappear from the screen.

See ya, I have a part-time job, goodbye!

Hey, Mamoru!

In the end, no one noticed.

That clears things up, don't you think?

I told you that selling the real thing won't bother anyone.

Let's save those kids as soon as possible.

I will introduce you to a good buyer.

Then could you sign the receipt?

Excuse me.

Ah... I'm sorry.

Let me think about it a little longer.

Why? If we don't do something soon, that institution will be gone.

I don't want to do this, after all.

I will look for someone who can help me.

I know a lot of people who do charity work.

By the way, I understand you're interested in charity work?

Ah... No, I'm not talking about calling the media and appealing to them or anything.

I genuinely want to help those children who don't have parents.

Please don't say that...

Hello?

It has a wonderful sense of dynamism

that breathes life into a chaotic world.

In five years, I bet it will be worth ten times more.

- Mr. Kenichi. - What is it?

Are you interested in charity work? As I said the other day,

there is a children's home that is having financial trouble.

MHLW = Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Take it up with the MHLW. I am from the FSA.

Hey, Ms.Tsubaki...

Are you interested in a children's home?

- What's your intention, Satomi? - What do you mean?

I don't trust donations or anything of the kind.

The person collecting the money could be just pocketing it.

What?

Here.

- What's that? - No, I got it from my part-time job.

I don't think it's enough at all. You should donate it to that institution.

But this is

money you've been saving to live on your own, right?

It's okay!

I'm doing this for the future legend, or should I say,

the future superstar!

I can't just leave children suffering now, can I?

That's harsh.

If there is no 30 million by the end of this month, the institution will be gone.

Yes. I wish I could do something about it.

It can't be helped! I am taking it out for you.

- Here, 30 million! - What?

I'm sorry, but I'm also in a bind.

It's okay.

I didn't mean to complain at all.

I'm sorry too.

I just became a freelancer, so this is all I can give.

I really don't need it.

This won't add up to anything.

- What... - What?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Then... thanks.

But, you know, I'm surprised that Mrs. Uehara is having financial trouble.

Until the other day, I was talking to you both about the money I'm leaving to my son.

So it wasn't about your friend after all.

Ah! Did you find out?

But don't worry, right now it's clear sky all over!

I'm in perfect physical condition.

- Good for you. - Yes!

No, Mrs. Uehara, you don't look well.

Is there any other way? To raise the money.

It's not that there isn't...

For example?

Teacher Torako had the violin...

- Okay. - Yeah.

Ah... No, it's nothing.

No, now I'm curious!

Ultimately, you just have to ask your husband one more time, no?

But a lot of things happened...

Your husband said he doesn't wanna loan for something he can't recoup, right?

Banks are really heartless.

They don't care about others' suffering, all they care about is profit for themselves.

No, my husband is not like that...

In the past, Sankei Hara, a businessman who made his fortune from Tomioka Silk Mill,

opened his garden in Yokohama to the public as Sankei-en,

and provided generous support to unsuccessful artists,

many of whom, such as Taikan Yokoyama, became well-known.

Do you think it's the right way for a rich people to spend their money?

Always thinking about investing, fattening their pockets, and going to space

to make their dreams come true. - Holy crap. Geez!

You are way too excited.

I've been doing a piece on Japan's government spending recently, so I was just...

- Hello! - Ah! Teacher Torako.

I've been waiting for you, Takashi's waiting upstairs.

- Excuse me. - Hey, Teacher!

Can I talk to you for a second?

What's wrong, Mama?

Oh, perhaps you raised the money?

I wish that were the case, but...

In the end, we raised only

63,000 yen from Mamoru, Mrs. Nakamura and Mrs. Shimoyama.

So, I guess we'll be selling it.

That Stradivarius.

But I don't want to be a thief.

We'll have to abandon that institution, then.

Teacher, is there no other way?

I'm sure you know a good way to do it.

I'm sorry, I have class here today!

Takashi, sorry for the wait!

Okay.

Ma'am.

Sorry about the other day.

It's okay.

That's right, eat this.

These are rice balls made with sweet red rice.

It's a specialty from my hometown. Here.

Thank you!

Hey, hey, what are they doing?

They said they were going to tear down this place and build a condo.

Really?

Hey, what's going to happen

to all of us?

- Hey, Dear... - Yeah?

That children's home we talked about the other day,

is there any way you could reconsider it?

I thought we're done talking about that.

Please do something about it.

That's right. Maybe we could go see it together tomorrow.

I think that would definitely make you want to help them.

Because you're kind.

Can't you just stop this!

If you have time to worry about other people's children,

why don't you educate your own children properly!

What do you mean by that?

Mamoru has been here for many years,

and yet he has no intention

of behaving like his brother and sister without embarrassing the Uehara family.

That boy is working hard right now, and his grades are improving.

I don't understand all the t alk of aiming for two things,

but he will never get into Todai.

I'm not even going to admit he's a comedian.

How could you...

Listen here,

you just have to take care of that bad son of yours.

- We have finished studying! - Ah, thank you.

That took a long time.

Yes, Mamoru was very determined today.

Oh, is that so?

Can I have one?

You smoke?

Sometimes... I quit smoking 10 years ago.

How old were you?

More importantly, you've already gotten it, haven't you?

Got what?

Your husband isn't moved by love.

If that's the case, why don't you just sell it right away?

And those boring paintings and Chateau Molei.

If you do that, who knows how many children in need

all over Japan will be saved.

You too think it's really stupid to spend

all that money on something like that, don't you, Mama?

I...

I don't want to betray my husband.

He made me a proper wife,

and up until now, he's been really good to me.

And besides, he never once cheated on me even until now.

Is that so?

That's true.

You've been drinking too much.

It feels good.

No... But Dad is too open about it.

Making the vice president his mistress.

I hope the weekly magazines don't catch wind of the affair and cause an uproar.

I'm sure Dad will handle it well.

Dad shouldn't have remarried.

- To that country hick. - It can't be helped.

Back then, as someone aiming to become the president,

he had to get his affairs in order.

If he just married with a clear distinction,

he wouldn't have to face the criticism that he has a mistress or illegitimate child.

So it's all for career advancement? And recognizing Mamoru.

Well, isn't that a good thing?

As a result, he became the president,

and our wealth has increased a lot.

You're right.

He is indeed a loving husband.

You probably had an inkling of what they were talking about, didn't you?

Teacher, you're not married, so you don't know.

My husband and I share a deep bond that

no one can interfere with.

I believe in him.

I told you that having a mistress was a one-time thing, and that my husband loves me more than anyone else.

I love my husband, too, no matter what.

Recently, the words I dislike are increasing...

More than anything, the one I hate the most is "love".

They're all justifying themselves by saying that.

You've been chanting "love, love," like a sutra for a while now,

but in the end, you just don't have the courage to give up the life

of not waiting in line for a medical checkup or a car with a driver.

You cling to your life with more money than anyone else.

You've proven it yourself!

People don't move for love. They move for money!!!

After all, Mama,

maybe it's not your husband that you love, but your husband's money?

Mom, what are you doing? Just spacing out.

Nothing... and what about you?

Well, I was studying too hard and my shoulders got stiff,

so I was wondering if you could give me a little massage.

What are you talking about? I'd like you to do it for me.

I got no choice then!

Well, it's been a while since I gave you one.

Whoa! They are so stiff, Ma'am!

What are you so happy about?

No... Because I missed it.

When the two of us lived together, we used to do it all the time.

What are you talking about? You asked me for an allowance every time.

Lately, I keep seeing it in my dreams, that time with you.

Like the time you huffed the porridge because my tongue gets easily burned.

I remember you carrying me on your back when I got sick and running to the hospital.

Yeah, all those things happened.

- Listen, Mom. - Hmm?

I found a nice, cheap apartment near where I work,

and I'm seriously thinking of moving out.

I was wondering if you want to move out of here and live with me.

What are you saying?

Isn't it hard to live with people who don't even consider you family anymore?

That's not...

There is no way I would do that.

How much do you think it costs to live here every day?

I mean... look, even you have some money saved up, don't you?

For the time being, so...

In the end, that's how it is.

If you leave this house, you'll regret it too, I'm sure.

You'll realize how happy you are with your life right now.

- I don't... - Listen,

all you have to do is study.

Your mother has no intention of divorcing your father or leaving this house.

- I'm glad you came. - Thank you for taking the time today.

- Well, come on in. - I'm coming in.

- Congratulations. - Thank you very much.

Welcom—

Congratulations for today.

Teacher... you are here?

Mamoru, why are you here?

He made up his mind to leave this house, so he came to say goodbye to his father.

What!?

It's more convenient for you, isn't it?

You don't have to worry about being bothered.

- What're you saying? At a time like this. - Mamoru, come here a minute.

- Hey, wait, why? Why? - President.

- Congratulations for today. - Thank you.

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Uehara.

Your husband has made it to this day

thanks to the support of his wife.

I don't think so.

Well... come in.

And now, we will begin

the inauguration party of Toshiaki Uehara as President of Tougoku Bank.

My name is Kenichi Uehara, and I will be your host today.

I know I may not be up to the task,

but please bear with me.

This is a major milestone for Tougoku Bank

and for the Uehara family as well, as my father assumed the president's position...

Honey.

What is it?

- Do you love me? - Huh?

So what is it?

What are you saying? At a time like this.

I do love you.

For goodness' sake.

Just like your stupid son who doesn't know the time and the place for it.

A few words from my beloved father, Toshiaki Uehara.

...but before that,

my sister Tsubaki with her recently purchased violin, a Stradivarius,

would like to play a piece to celebrate his inauguration as president

would you please listen to it?

Dad, congratulations today, I love you.

I love you, too.

Hey! What are you doing!?

- WHAAAT!!!? - Hey! Are you out of your mind?

Hey, stop!

Thank goodness.

- Dad! Are you okay? - Are you okay?

Ah, thank goodness.

Hey! Do you know what you've done?

You must be completely insane!

Don't worry, they are all fakes.

The Stradivarius, that painting,

and even the chateau.

That's bullshit!

If you don't believe her, then take a look here.

What!?

This too.

Then where's the real one?

[In Tsugaru dialect] Don't worry.

[In Tsugaru dialect] They are over there.

[In Tsugaru dialect] You guys are pretentious...

You guys are pretentious

and making yourselves high class,

but you didn't notice they were fake.

Well, that's okay. It doesn't matter...

You know,

I've been thinking that your love was real for a long time.

That's why I wanted to love

Mr. Kenichi and Ms. Tsubaki as if they were my real children.

I worked hard to keep my feelings in check so that

this house would be filled with love.

But I've had enough!

I'm stuck with people who don't know

the value of real money and spend it like crap.

- Okay, get on. - What?

Come on.

And up we go.

No! I'm sorry for the trouble that this has caused you all!

But now you know, don't you?

My mother is really the strongest.

Ah! What am I going to do? !

- You scared me! What? - Because...

We left the house.

Well, we both can manage.

- Really? - Yeah.

- And... - "And" what?

You were so cool earlier, Mom.

What?

I thought I was so proud to be born to this person.

I thought I was so happy to be this person's son.

I thought, "No matter what happens, I will never make this person unhappy".

When you were born,

I named you "Mamoru" because I knew you would need to be protected

no matter what would happen.

Really?

But now...

you are protecting me.

It's fine, but don't put snot on it.

What the hell! Even at a time like this, you're joking.

Sorry, sorry. So don't cry anymore.

Because my back hurts!

- What? You too! - Yes, my waist!

Here you go! Our full of love

stewed pork set meal! - Wow, looks delicious!

- I'm digging in! - Go ahead.

Thank you for this food.

Right?

- So this is the son we've heard so much about! - Yes.

We're going to live together in an apartment.

But what happened to that institution?

It looks like they managed not to go under!

So you were able to get 30 million?

To be exact, it's Mama's 10 million in savings,

and the 63,000 yen from Mamoru and the two of you.

And the rest, it seems, were borrowed and donated by her.

What? Is that okay?

You're completely broke, you know that?

Even after moving out of Tsugaru,

and besides, even if I don't have money,

I have love.

Mama, you're not completely broke.

What do you mean?

Because you haven't signed the divorce papers yet,

you can still ask for marital and child support.

Marital support?

If she hasn't been removed from the registry, she can have her husband match her income.

For Mama, it's about a million a month.

What!? ! It's not like ours at all!

What Teacher said is true,

but from now on, I'll earn my own and get Mamoru into

Todai without counting on his money.

This was the right thing to do, wasn't it?

I think that's all right.

Yes, welcome!

Oh my, what is it?

Thank you, Ma'am!

Thanks to you, we got to stay on that institution!

Yes, that's good.

Hey, you want some stewed pork, kid?

Sorry, I have to leave now.

- I see. - I'll take him home now.

- Yes. - Okay.

Thanks, Miss.

You were really right.

Right?

If you do what I say, you can stay at the institution forever,

so can you steal her bag for me now?

Okay.

It's that old lady.

What we just talked about, you can't tell anyone, okay?

I know, thanks!

Cast pearl before swine

This wine goes quite well, too.

But what were you going to do if they found out they were all fakes?

Then and now are different scenario.

What if she had sold the real thing?

Of course, I was going to get my share.

What the hell...

But now that you've got the mother and the kids under control,

are you finally taking the next step? - Of course.

I'm thinking,

why don't you just do what a normal private tutor would do?

You're really happy, aren't you?

Children grow up and everyone loves them.

Love is useless to me.

You say that again.

They will be heartbroken when they find out that you really don't care about them.

Five years ago, when I heard the reason why you were working as a tutor,

I thought to myself, "What a stupid idea".

Five years ago

Ministry of Finance

Ah... I'm sorry.

What? Torako, is that you?

It's me, Fukuta, who was with you at the orphanage.

I've missed you! What are you doing now?

You too.

I work there.

- Ministry of Finance? - And Torako?

Private tutor.

Oh, really?

You were good at teaching the kids at the orphanage, remember?

Hey! There she is!

- Damn it! I'm in a hurry. - Wait!

- Wait! You bastards! - What? Wait a minute!

You bastards!

Why are you running away? You're a tutor!

What did you just say?

What about Takashi?

Hello? Hello!?

I have no degree, qualifications, connections, or money, so this is the only way I can do it.

Torako's TRUE PURPOSE is revealed!!

I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen.

To spend the money wisely, right?

An amount far greater than I've ever done before.
