TUTOR

TORAKO

- What!? You too!? - I was so surprised.

- This was the first time Teacher Torako took time off without notice. - Me too!

At first I thought maybe she got lost because we moved.

But it was a bold move.

I can't believe you would just throw away your elegant life with that bank president.

But something about this makes me feel totally at home.

It's not a tenth of the size of the previous house.

On that note, your fashion has become more subdued,

and it suits you well.

You two look stunning as well!

Mrs. Tomoyo recovered from her illness and has a beautiful smile,

and Mrs. Maki is doing the work she wants to do, and thriving.

All of this is thanks to Teacher Torako.

Maybe not just for our children, but it helped us to grow as well.

I found a way to be happy for 10,000 yen.

I figured out what I really should have spent

the 5,000 yen that was extorted from me.

Oh... You two are amazing for someone so young.

And you, Mamoru, what did you learn from her?

I did a fake live show with the 200,000 yen Teacher Torako gave me,

but I gave it back to her, just like that!

What's that? That's not amazing at all.

No, no, no, if you just listen to the money flow, yes,

but the conclusion I came to, the decision I made, was quite an emotional one

...listen!

But I wonder what's really going on with Teacher Torako.

It's not like she got an injury or something, right?

I'll call her.

Hello, this is private tutor Torako, if you have some business with...

- So...

Straight to voicemail.

I wonder where Teacher Torako lives?

Does she have a family or something?

Ah, that reminds me, she said that she was in an orphanage in the past.

So something happened to her parents?

No... I didn't ask for details.

Do we know anything about her secretary, Fukuta Fukuda?

I've been thinking about this for a while,

but are they dating?

I don't think so.

I feel like he's completely over his head, that guy.

One day, when I asked him why he was so insistent,

he said, "I just want to fulfill Torako's wish".

What wish could that be?

I don't know either...

Come to think of it,

we probably don't know anything about Teacher Torako.

Relationships formed by wealth will end when the money ends

Hey, the phone keeps ringing. It's the three mothers.

Then it's time to tell them what I told you.

Okay.

Can we just stop this?

Why?

Not only their children, but also their mothers adore you,

and it would hurt them to know that you really don't care about them.

If you're that worried, we won't be able to move on to the next step.

I know, but...

I feel like something bad is gonna happen if we do this.

What's that?

Because what you're trying to do

is too extreme,

and out of touch with reality.

Five years ago, when we met again after a long time,

I was surprised when I heard the real reason you were working as a tutor.

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 you, 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!

Wait! You bastard!

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

Wait up, Torako!

What?

Hey! Come out!

Where the hell are you? Hey!

I'm starving.

What the hell are those guys?

They work for the father of the kid I'm teaching now.

What? Those yakuza-looking guys?

Because the father is in fact the yakuza boss.

What? Then what the hell did you do?

His son has bad grades, wouldn't study how much I tried to tell him,

saying, "It's your teaching style that's bad." So I told him,

"Don't be a spoiled brat!", and I kicked his desk and it broke.

No, no... that's not good.

Oh my... I'm sorry.

Sorry to keep you waiting. What can I get you?

- I'll have the stewed pork set meal. - Okay.

- Where is your toilet? - Toilet is over there.

I'll have...

the fried horse mackerel.

Oh, sorry, we're out of horse mackerels right now.

I'll have the pork cutlet.

We just ran out of cooking oil.

Huh... What can you get me?

I'm sorry, I just took over this store from my father who passed away the other day...

The only one I can serve decently is the stewed pork.

Oh, then, that works for me.

All right, then that's two stewed pork.

- I'm home. - Ah... Welcome home, Takashi.

Mom, let me help you.

Really? Then, come here for a minute.

Here, Takashi. Can you put it up?

What's this?

"Fortune comes in by a merry gate".

If you believe in this,

I'm sure something good will come out of it.

I'm sure Takashi will have a wonderful opportunity in the future.

- Is that so... - Yeah!

- So? - What?

Adopted by your now family at 12, so what have you been doing since then?

It's...

So, you live a life without problems,

study hard every day to repay your foster parents

who love you as if you were their own,

went to private school, graduated from Todai with a degree in law,

passed the national civil service exam, and now you're here?

Well...

Then why the long face?

Working for the Ministry of Finance means you must be making about 6 million a year, right?

Nothing, I'm just a bit busy...

What have you been up to? Since then.

Not much...

After you left, no one took me in so I stayed at the orphanage until high school.

I had no money so I gave up going to college

and worked at lots of companies where high school grads could get jobs,

but they were all crap, so I quit them all

and here I am.

Then where do you live now?

Manga & Internet Manga & Internet Manga & Internet Manga & Internet Manga & Internet

Positive Side of the Japanese Economy

In here? You don't have an apartment?

I don't need that. I just go home and sleep.

Are you really that busy? Being a tutor?

Not only teaching,

I'm also doing all sorts to develop new business.

- All sorts? - It's like, well,

spreading rumors online.

"With the help of private tutor Torako,

you can get into any school you want 100% guaranteed."

Is that even true?

Actually, I've taught 20 and 10 of them have passed.

Huh? Then it's a scam, right?

The other 10 just didn't take the exam.

One got a job because a family member got sick,

another said, "I can't give up on my dream," and set sights on becoming a musician.

Oh, I see.

I was wondering if there was a better way to promote myself.

Oh, yeah!

Maybe I'll hand out flyers in front of a big cram school next time.

I'm sure some kids can't keep up with the class.

PRIVATE TUTOR TORAKO PRIVATE TUTOR TORAKO You're about to give up on taking the exam!

Hey, why are you getting so worked up?

I'm getting some pretty dangerous vibes for a tutor.

I want the world...

What?

"The world" what?

I knew you would laugh at it.

Not true, so just say it.

Why don't you worry about yourself?

I hadn't seen you for so long, and I thought you'd look happier, but you don't look happy at all.

I mean, have you bathed properly? You stink.

Huh? What?

No, it's, you know...

I've been up all night working on a budget...

I'm still a newbie, so there are many things

that may not go the way I want them to.

Then... the teacher has a problem for you.

What's this all of a sudden?

I thought you might like to know how I usually work as a tutor.

And?

A person who earns 6 million a year or a person who earns 3 million a year,

which is happier?

Well, it's the 6 million one, of course.

Why is that, Fukuta?

It's easier to live with a higher income.

- Tsk. - Why did you click your tongue?

Because that doesn't sound like an answer from the elites who hold Japan's national budget.

So are you saying one would be happier with 3 million? Why?

It's...

You have to figure it out yourself.

- Huh? - I have to go to work now.

What? Another yakuza house?

Nope, this time it's the mayor's daughter.

- Look this way, look this way. - Put on a good face.

Say cheese.

Oh, excuse me, could you take our picture?

We just bought this house, so we wanted to take a photo with it.

It's okay.

- Thank you. - Thank you very much.

- The young lady said she'd take the picture. - Is it a girl?

Yes, her name is Chie.

Perhaps you put "Wise Child" in there?

That's right!

Well, if you ever need a tutor in the future, please call me.

Here's a flyer.

But we said it would be fine if we could raise her as freely as possible.

And even without a tutor,

I'm sure this girl will turn out to be a very smart girl.

- Right, Chie-chan! - I hope so.

- This is fine. - Thank you, sir.

What's the matter, Fukuda? Are you too tired to work?

I'm fine, Chief.

Feel free to tell me about anything.

It's the boss's job to create an easy working environment for his cute subordinates.

Can I ask you one thing?

Yes, what is it?

The proposed budget for this year, is this okay?

What?

For example, the lease fees for these computers for various ministries,

wouldn't the public be surprised to find that there are plenty

of unused computers in storage?

Are you mistaking something?

- What? - A newbie like you

should just shut up and do as you're told.

Anyway, we're having a welcome party for the director next week,

so organize it, will you? - What?

Make sure everyone in the office is present, collect dues,

and find a nice restaurant.

No, but I've got a lot of work to do.

You idiot, this is also an important job.

- Chief... - What?

A person who earns 6 million a year or a person who earns 3 million a year,

which do you think is happier?

Are you making fun of me?

No, I'm not, sir...

Then don't ask me something obvious.

Of course.

Okay, next Wednesday,

I think we'll have about 50 people, so please take care of it.

Yes, sir. We will be waiting for you.

If you'll excuse me.

Deputy Manager, I'm sorry for not calling you back.

I would like to confirm your attendance for the Director's welc...

Ah...you've been so busy, so you don't know yet.

I'm sorry, sir. Then call me as soon as you...

What the hell am I doing?

What?

No, I was just in the neighborhood.

Whoa!? Why do you have that?

Huh? I got that from the mayor.

What, you mean 2 million for a course fee?

No, I heard some bad rumors about the mayor, so I asked his daughter,

"Do you know where your father hides his money?",

and she told me where the safe was,

and there was a rolls of cash inside,

I sweet-talked her saying, "I would like some"

and she said, "No problem, I don't know anyway" Like that.

No, no, no... that's stealing. What are you gonna do if you get caught?

They can't report the theft anyway.

It's got to be a slush fund, like a kickback from a contractor.

But that doesn't mean things won't get worse

if they find out you stole it...

That's why I am training like this. I have to protect myself.

Hey, Torako, you wanna come to my apartment?

- Huh? - Ah, no...

Don't get me wrong.

My parents rented it for me near where I work.

I'm often too busy to go home.

You are free to use this place.

Seriously?

I only use it half a week.

You are lucky to be taken in by good parents.

Hey, Torako, can you tell me?

Tell you what? Ah... the answer to the 6 million or 3 million...

Not that.

You almost told me the other day.

About "the world".

What's that all about?

I'm worried about you because you seem to be doing all these

dangerous things for it.

Fukuta, you are just as kind as you were when we were kids.

What the heck?

When we first met, you were like that, meddling in all sorts of ways.

Because I don't get along with anyone.

Natsuzora Home

The Daruma doll fell down!

- You moved! - Fukuta, you're amazing.

Okay! Everyone, listen up for a second.

Starting today, she will be living with us.

This is Nezu Torako. Everyone, please get along with her.

Yes!

Why don't you introduce yourself?

Take your time.

Fukuta, she's also 7 years old, so you should get along with her.

Okay, you got it!

Torako-chan, this seat is vacant.

Nice catch!

What are you doing, Torako-chan?

Is there some place you wanna go?

"Ms. Machiko came to buy a cake.

The small cake costs 270 yen,

and the big cake costs three times that amount.

How much is the big cake?"

Hmm... 270 x 3, so....

Ah... Why not 200 yen? Then it would be easy...

810 yen.

What?

3 times 200 yen is 600 yen,

and 3 times 70 yen is 210 yen,

if you add 600 yen and 210 yen, you get 810 yen.

Oh, I see!

Then do you know this problem?

2/5.

Wow!

Hey, guys! Torako-chan is so smart, why don't we ask her to teach us?

Oh!

- I got it. It's three. - Correct.

It's done! Yay!

Then you became popular in the orphanage.

Didn't you become a tutor because you were happy to see the grades of the kids

you taught get better and better?

It's not like that.

Then why?

Forget about it. Why don't you go home to your parents once in a while?

They raised you without any inconvenience,

and they love you very much, even now, don't they?

- I'm home. - Oh, welcome home.

My, my... You should have texted us if you're coming home.

- I would have made something. - Sorry, but I ate already.

Wanna go take a bath? You must be tired.

Okay.

Dad's book. It's out again.

Yes, I never thought a book on insects written by an unknown college professor

would sell anyway.

We're thinking of celebrating sometime. Do you have any plans?

Oh... sorry, I've been busy these days.

It's okay. It's okay. It's a tough time right now.

- Just don't overwork yourself. - Thank you.

- Listen, Dad... - Yes, what is it?

A person who earns 6 million a year or a person who earns 3 million,

which do you think is happier?

Well, that's just it.

Yeah.

It depends on the person, doesn't it?

Because there are people with low incomes who seem happy,

and vice versa.

You're right.

What's the matter? Why do you ask that?

No, because I ran into a friend from my time at the orphanage and she asked me that question.

Quite an interesting lady.

Do we know her?

No... maybe you don't know.

Wait a minute, Torako.

You're too slow, Fukuta.

Yes, thank you.

What are you two doing? It already started.

- Okay. - Sorry.

"Although I was only in this orphanage for 4 years,

it has been a great asset for me.

With this asset in my heart, I am now studying hard for an exam with my foster parents."

Why are you not listening?

Because "I'm so happy to have been adopted by a good foster parents,"

...that kind of bragging just pisses me off.

- Hello. - Hello.

Those two are here again.

They have always been very charitable and are certified foster parents,

so they're interested in taking in someone in here.

What? Who is it?

It's not us, that's for sure.

I bet it's those cute little ones than the bratty 6 year olds.

Right.

Thank you as always, Mr. & Mrs. Fukuda.

Then we'll visit again next week.

I wish to talk more with the kids then.

- We understand. - They're coming for interview next week

and pick out a new kid to take in,

It's the little ones anyway, right?

It usually is,

but seems like they want to take in a kid who is really in need, regardless of age.

Oh... Rumor has it

that Torako and Fukuta are on the short list.

Might be the last chance for both of them, they're already in 6th grade.

- What are you doing? - Huh?

- Thank you. - Isn't that great?

One week later

Here you go.

Director, can I talk to you for a second?

Excuse me for a second.

Mr. & Mrs. Fukuda, excuse us for a moment.

What happened?

Torako got hurt and was rushed to the hospital.

- That's terrible, isn't it? - Excuse us.

Wait here for a moment.

Were you with Torako by any chance?

Yes.

Don't worry, I'm sure she'll recover.

Thank you very much.

Um... I think you are...

I'm Fukuta.

What's so funny?

Because I thought that if he became our child,

his name would be Fukuta Fukuda.

I see.

Torako, you in here?

Hey, what the hell is this?

Oh, sorry, I'll clean it up right away.

Defense Expenditures, Largest in History at 5.1 Trillion Yen

Total damage from the Great Earthquake is estimated at 16.9 trillion yen by the Cabinet Office Kumamoto Earthquake Damage: 3.785 trillion yen for the entire prefecture

Decommissioning cost for Itanaka exceeded 150 billion

Admitted to power harassment, ordered 55 million yen in compensation

Proposed 97 trillion yen Speedy passage to be approved by the end of the fiscal year

Why are you collecting these articles?

I was wondering if this country is using the money in the right way.

What?

Well, if you guys at the Ministry of Finance are working harder,

we won't have any problems.

- Hey, Torako... - What?

If you hadn't had that accident back then

and my parents had taken you instead, I wonder what would've happened?

Why are you asking this now?

Listen...

Excuse me.

Hello... Good evening.

What? Now? But it's already late...

I'm sorry. I'll be right there.

I'm sorry, I have to go to work all of a sudden.

Thanks for your hard work.

- It's so cool. - Yeah. You really think so?

- I'm quite pleased. - It suits you super well.

Sorry, I'm late.

Ah... You're here at last. For now, have a drink.

But, Chief, you said you had something important.

Huh? Oh, that.

It's about deepening our friendship with the MLIT.

- What? - Just have a drink.

Today it's on them. Sit down, sit down.

- No, but... - I said sit down.

Yes, excuse me.

- Mama, congratulations! - Congrats!

- What the hell is going on? - Mama got proposed to.

To whom?

They say he is a future candidate for the president of Tougoku Bank.

Oh, that guy.

Well, there seems to be a lot of bad rumors about him.

He's a nice guy, you know.

And it looks like he will recognize Mama's son who is in middle school.

But what about Mama flirting with him in this store?

No matter how many times I called, she wouldn't come over here at all.

I'm sorry, I think she will be here soon.

Fukuda, go get Mama here now.

- What? But... - Just go get her.

How long is she gonna keep us waiting?

Ah... Yes.

Mama, I'm so jealous!

Excuse me. Excuse me. Mama! Mama!

- I'm sorry for interrupting. - Ah, yes. What is it?

Um, my boss is kind of lonely

because Mama doesn't come over.

- What's he saying? At a time like this. - Read the room, man.

That's okay, I thought I should have come by sooner too.

I'm sorry. Thank you very much.

Then excuse me.

Yes, don't worry about me over here.

Yes, thank you very much.

Hello?

Is this Mr. Fukuda Fukuta's phone number?

Yes, it is...

This is Kibougaoka Medical University Hospital,

do you know a person by the name of Ms. Torako Nezu?

Ah, I do...

Excuse me, where's Torako Nezu's room?

It gave me quite a fright. I heard you were badly injured.

- Hey, what are you doing? - I'm fine now.

No, no, don't be reckless.

If you had lost a bit more blood, you would have died.

The doctor said you need to stay in the hospital for a while.

Hey, what in the world happened this time?

Nothing...

I just got stabbed.

What?

By the yakuza or someone related to the mayor?

No, the girlfriend of a high school student I'm teaching.

Why?

When I told him

"You should break up with that girl because she's getting in the way of your studies,"

she got upset.

What the hell...

Torako, please stop taking risks.

Normally, tutoring

is a job you do because you're happy to see your students grow up, right?

So what the hell are you doing?

I...

I want to change the world.

What?

Since you left me when I was 12,

I've experienced all the absurdities and injustices of this world to the point of disgust.

Innocent children suffer from abuse and poverty,

and people who are dumber than I am go to college with bribe money

and work for top companies with their parents' connections.

And yet, people who are working earnestly for cheap wages are not entitled

to workers' compensation when they are injured.

And yet, this country will always continue

amakudari - hiring retired government official in the private sector to waste budgets, embezzle money, and repeat the same old "amakudari" again.

They give away money during elections,

and build infrastructure that is not needed,

and to top it all off,

MP - member of parliament they generously pay bonuses to MPs who don't resign

even after causing such disgraceful crimes.

Corporate executives and wealthy people

think only of increasing their retained earnings and paying less taxes,

and then spend their money lavishly on membership restaurants and resorts,

and give their idiot sons and daughters expensive cars and vacation homes.

But...

no matter how much you complain about it on social media,

no one will listen to you,

and even if you pray to God,

he will only help the rich,

not the poor.

Then...

I will

create a world where money is spent correctly.

By being a private tutor?

I found out about it when I was tutoring.

Parents whose children have been accepted to the schools

of their choice will do anything I ask, even if it's impossible.

Introduce me to a rich person they know,

or help me out when I get sick or in trouble.

Besides, being a private tutor

is where I can meet people from all walks of life,

and you get to go into their homes.

If I can expand my network

and connect with many people in this way,

that's the power of it.

If you have the power,

you can help those who are truly in need.

Finding a way

to get the money to the people who really need it.

And for that,

I'm willing to get my hands dirty

and put myself in danger.

I will do whatever it takes.

So...

that even one more person in the world

will be happy that their money is being spent correctly!

No way...

Of course it's impossible.

It's not like Don Quixote,

there's no way you could do that by yourself, it's impossible,

unless by some miracle. - I hate it!

What?

Words like "can't" and "it's impossible".

You never know unless you try.

The world will never change because you give up thinking

that you can't do anything on your own, right?

So I won't give up no matter what.

I believe that miracles can happen even if people all over the world make fun of me.

- No, but... - I don't want there

to be any more people like me.

I want to make sure that even

the poorest children can study in a good environment.

I want those who are alone and want to have children

can raise them with peace of mind.

With global warming getting worse and worse,

I want those who suffer from disasters live their lives without fear.

For that purpose, we should just cut the defense expenditure to zero.

If they have time to think about more weapons,

think about getting along with the rest of the world!

Isn't that what we should really be doing as human beings!?

You...

If you say things like that,

I'll say you're crazy. - I don't care. Laugh if you want.

With no education, qualifications, connections, and money, I have no choice but to do this.

I have to keep on living, trusting only my own head and the future.

Hey, what are you doing?

I don't have time to stay here. I have lots of things to do.

What are you gonna do if you get in danger again?

There's no one there to help you, right?

No problem. I'm used to being alone.

What?

Christmas, New Year's,

birthdays, being bullied,

colds, and earthquakes,

I was always alone.

- Teacher, are you okay? - I'm sorry. It's my fault you got hurt.

If you came all the way here to tell me that, you don't have to.

It's not just that.

What?

We know the answer to the problem that you gave us.

6 million or 3 million, which one is happier?

And?

It's the 3 million.

Why?

People who earn 6 million a year

are so busy working that they don't have time off

desperately meeting quotas

to maintain their standard of living,

but those who earn 3 million don't have to,

so they can spend their time on their favorite hobbies and with their families,

and in turn, enjoy their lives.

Even if they force themselves to make money, it doesn't make them happy.

Is that a good answer, Teacher?

That's all right.

- Yes! - Thank goodness...

Great, right?

Teacher, don't quit on us, okay?

My grades are up, and I want you to continue teaching me as you always have.

I'm sure I will get in. My first choice.

Earlier today, a hospital in Tokyo

2 million yen donation from the mayor of Kibougaoka to a hospital in Tokyo

received a donation from the mayor of Kibougaoka, Mr. Mitsunaga,

for a child with an incurable disease requiring advanced medical care,

Two million was donated in the mayor's name

in the amount of 2 million yen.

The accompanying letter said, "Please let me know if you are in trouble.

I still have more money"...

Torako...

The mayor himself has no recollection...

Fukuda, redo this.

- What is it? - Seating order for the Director's welcome party.

I told you it's bad to have them at the same table because they don't get along well.

But you already checked this...

If you've got time to go against me, then redo it.

I said do you got that?

What the hell is our job, exactly?

Huh?

Instead of thinking about

the right way to spend the 100 trillion a year,

all you care about is how you show face

with politicians and coordinate with other ministries

Have you forgotten what makes people in this country happy?

As a person in charge of the national budget.

What are you saying?

And yet, a friend of mine when I was in the orphanage...

She said she wants to create a world where money goes where it's really needed...

and she's working like a fool by herself.

She believes that if she doesn't give up,

she can make a miracle happen someday.

"No way, it's impossible."

Even if people make fun of her...

With no money,

connections, or qualifications, she said this was the only way for her...

- That's enough of you... - It's not just that.

The kids she's been tutoring

are a lot smarter than I am.

They were able to give the answers on their own.

I respect her from the bottom of my heart.

And for all that...

what on earth am I doing?

What can I do

to live my life with pride with her?

Thank you. I'm Torako, a private tutor.

Thank you very much.

This cram school won't get you to the school of your choice.

I can get you in 100% guaranteed!

- Hoping you'll consider me. - Hey!

What are you doing?

What am I doing? I'm just handing out flyers.

It's obstructing our business. Can you stop it?

It's you who are obstructing.

I'm not saying anything wrong.

- Please. - What? Hey...

- What? Let go of me! - Let's talk inside.

Hey... stop it!

Let go of me! What the hell are you doing?

Torako, get in!

What do you want to talk about?

Why don't you come live with me here?

What do you want to talk about?

Why don't you come live with me here, Torako?

What is this, a proposal?

I quit the Ministry of Finance.

No way...

I'm not elite anymore,

and I don't make 6 million a year...

I decided to support you.

What!?

Even if the world says it's "impossible",

I believe you can make it, Torako.

A world where money is spent correctly.

So...

feel free to use this place.

If you are tired after a hard day's work outside,

you can come home here and rest your wings.

I don't want...

to leave you alone anymore, Torako.

I want to stay close to you and work miracles with you.

I would do anything for that.

Scheduling, health management,

sales strategy, complaint handling.

Cleaning, laundry, cooking, anything.

So that you can focus on fulfilling your dreams while working as a tutor.

Can I be that?

And?

What?

For now, what are you gonna do for me?

That's...

Let's do something about your clothes first.

Huh?

For a tutor, it's not very sociable,

and it doesn't have the impact to draw people in.

I see.

How about this?

No.

- And this one? - No way,

What the heck? You have so many likes and dislikes.

What about this one?

Oh! That's nice.

You know, it's like that...

Mary Poppins?

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

It's classy and kind, but also kind of like a strict teacher.

Then, maybe I'll change characters too.

- To suit the kids I teach. - What?

I'm sure they'll open up to me more quickly that way.

I like that!

Then, what else...

This, an enthusiastic teacher.

Then I guess this is an enchantress type.

Why not?

Anything else that's good?

Okay, here you go!

Let's eat.

How is it?

Not good.

Sorry, I will study from scratch.

What? I thought you were good at cooking?

Well, then, the rules for tutoring are

"Do not peek into the room during class" and

"Do not interfere with the teaching method", is that right?

That way I could have one-on-one with the kids

and prevent parental interference.

But what if they don't like it?

Then, I say, "No, thank you," and call it quits.

I think it would be harder for them to be stubborn.

One more rule

we should add: "On the day that I teach a class, I'll stay at the student's house".

What? Why?

That way I can find out the problems and secrets of the house more quickly.

I see. Then those are the three rules.

And what about fees?

Right now, I'm deciding it based on the client.

Then...

how about we let them decide the course fees?

Ah... that way they would be more aware of the importance

of spending money correctly... - Yeah.

Then, the ads that go online would look something like this.

For those of you who are about to give up on the entrance exam Any school of your choice acceptance rate

What's more, you decide on the course fee

Okay!

- Let's start taking applications. - Yes.

- Hey, Fukuta. - What?

Why are you so supportive?

I told you, I want to support you.

Is that all?

What do you mean?

I felt like there was some other reason.

It's...

You want me to say "I like you" or something?

- If so, then I would do so. - Of course not.

Torako.

What?

Later, why don't we go for a bike ride to the beach?

But the director said we're gonna have a visitor today.

We should be back by then.

Sorry for the wait. Let's go.

Yeah!

Fukuta.

- Huh? - What are you spacing at?

Hurry up and call those three.

Ah... Okay.

Hey... are you sure about this?

I thought you were supposed to believe in me and support me.

- "Please connect the lines". Go. - Okay...

- It's Teacher Torako! - What!?

Really?

Hello. I was worried. I couldn't reach you.

Chie also wants to study with Teacher Torako as soon as...

What? What did you just say?

I am sorry to inform you

but she has suddenly quit tutoring.

What!? Then what will happen to Takashi?

He's working hard for the open mock exam.

I'm sorry, but would you be willing

to go to a cram school or hire another tutor.

Wait just a minute!

Hello? Hello!?

What's wrong, Mom?

Your face is like, "The earth is doomed!"

[In Tsugaru dialect] This is bad.

[In Tsugaru dialect] What are we gonna do?

Are you sure you want to do this?

To spend the money wisely, right?

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

Chie Nakamura (Mother)
