TUTOR
TORAKO
I'm Chie Nakamura, 6 years old.
What is your father's job?
He works for a toy-making company.
When my father shows us his new toys,
it brightens up the house.
And your mother?
She's a freelance writer.
She's a little scary when she's angry, but she's always cheerful,
and she writes articles that help people in need all over the world,
and she's a hero.
She's grown so much since I last saw her 5 months ago.
Perfect score on her written exam.
Thank you very much.
She's really study so hard since then.
That's great, Chie. I'm sure you'll pass this exam.
Huh...
What's the matter, Chie?
I'll stop taking the exam.
What!?
Chie-chan, I'm coming in.
Hey, Chie-chan,
why do you not want to take the entrance exam anymore?
No one is mad at you,
so why don't you tell me how you feel?
I'm scared.
About the exam?
Oh, but...
your mom and dad were happy too. They said the mock interview was perfect.
So...
if I fail, Mom and Dad would be disappointed.
That's what you're scared of.
You'll be fine. Be confident!
...maybe I shouldn't say something normal.
Oh, if you fail, your mom and dad won't mind.
I guess that's not very comforting.
What else...
What is it?
Because
you are like a regular tutor, Teacher.
Teacher, how did it go?
Chie-chan seems to have noticed.
Up until now, all she had to do was study and not worry about anything else,
but when she was told that she's sure to pass,
she could feel the tension and anticipation from you both intensely,
and she became afraid that if she failed, she would disappoint you both.
And what did you say to her?
I couldn't think of a good way to persuade her...
Please do something about it.
The exam is in 15 hours.
Right.
Hey, are you hungry?
I've brought a magic food that will help you pass the exam if you eat it.
This is iyokan.
yokan (予感) - premonition/hunch I have a "good hunch" that you'll pass the exam.
And this one is takoyaki.
You know, tako in English is called octopus, right?
Explanation: Oku-to-pass= Oku (置く - to put) to (と- and), pass So it's like "put it and pass"
I'll put it down. Here.
Get out.
Not good. I can only come up with these ideas.
If it comes to it, there's no other way but that.
Then why don't you stop taking the entrance exam?
Huh?
All your hard work will be for nothing, unless you're okay with that.
It's a waste of the examination fee, but oh well.
That's awful!
That would make my mom and dad sad so why would you say that?
It would probably be like that.
Ah... What should I do...
H--How did it go?
I'm sorry,
I've thought about a lot of things, but none of them seem to be working.
What's wrong with you?
If it had been before, you would have solved it brilliantly.
The way you did it was a bit messed up.
That's because,
you know, I didn't mind saying "then quit" to her.
Now I want Chie-chan to take the entrance exam whatever it takes...
but it all boils down to how I gauge her feelings.
How did you do it before? At a time like this.
Well, that's because...
Fukuta was there, and we came up with all kinds of ideas.
What do you mean?
No matter what the situation was,
I was able to boldly do it knowing that Fukuta
would follow up and help me.
Like when we kidnapped her and did a bank transfer scam on you.
Then please call him right now.
But we haven't talked in over a month, and as I recall, his wedding is this month...
Please, Teacher Torako!
Torako
Maybe he's already asleep.
Hello?
Oh, hello? Sorry, were you sleeping?
Yes.
Oh, it's okay. I'm sorry.
It's okay, I'm already up.
Actually,
all of the kids said they wouldn't take the exam.
What?! Chie and the others?
Oh... I'm not talking about me, but a tutor I know.
And?
The 6 year old
got scared that if she failed, she would disappoint her parents...
How would you convince her?
If Chie-chan were like that,
I'd give her some confidence.
How?
Remind her of the time she found a way to be happy for that 10,000 yen.
Chie-chan was crying, saying "I don't know, I don't know," she thought hard
and came up with an answer, didn't she?
It was you who brought it out of her.
Don't be afraid of failure. Just be honest about your feelings.
Because your greatest weapon right now
is love.
Yeah... Thanks.
Oh, no, I'm not talking about me.
Then tell it to that person.
I'll be out in a bit!
What? Wait, where are you going?
Chie, Teacher Torako said she wanted to show you something.
What is this?
"I realized.
To be happy, it's not enough if it's just me,
or just Mom and Dad,
but Mom, Dad and I must all be happy."
Remember that?
When I gave you an assignment to think of a way to be happy for 10,000 yen,
that was your answer.
Yeah.
When I saw your eyes twinkling that time, I thought.
This girl is strong in adversity.
Adversi-what?
Like now, when it's hard or painful.
But you proved then that you have the power
to overcome it.
So, even if I tell you to be confident, it still sounds like a lip service,
and even if I say, "You won't take the entrance exam,"
I'll be honest about how I feel.
If you
passed the entrance exam,
of course I love you.
But...
even if you didn't pass, I love you just as much.
However,
if you run away from the entrance exam,
I may not love you.
Because that
is not the real you, Chie-chan.
Besides,
you are not taking the entrance exam by yourself.
Your mom and dad will be there with you.
So if you don't pass it,
they won't be disappointed.
"Let's all do our best together again," I think they'll say.
Really?
Of course.
We are Team Chie.
- Thank you, Teacher. - We're off!
Oh, Chie-chan, wait a minute.
Here.
What is this?
Seal of Somen Tiger.
- Thank you. - Good luck.
- We're off! - Yeah.
Let's go. Thank you.
Let's go for it!
Tomoyo Shimoyama
Hello?
Teacher Torako, where are you now?
No matter how much I tell him, he said "I'm not going to a private school", Takashi won't listen.
Sorry, I'll be right there.
The first one went to the exam successfully. Thank you.
...is what my friend said.
- Who is it? - Huh? Yeah.
An old friend.
- May I continue with the explanation? - Sorry. Go ahead.
While the bride walks down the aisle with her father,
the groom waits here.
I understand.
- Sorry, I'm late! - Ah... Teacher!
I don't know what to do anymore.
Private school applications are due tomorrow.
- I'm off. - Hey, Takashi,
can you at least tell us why you're not taking the test?
It's fine. I've already made up my mind.
Hey...
Oh no... Do something, Teach.
You know? If he doesn't go to a private school,
I promised to give up my custody of Takashi to my ex-husband.
Yes.
Anyway, something might have happened at school, so I'll go talk to him.
Okay.
Hey, Takashi.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
Nothing. I've thought about it a lot.
Are you still worried about money?
That's because Mom said she'd take care of it.
So you're afraid of failing the test?
- That's not possible. - So what is it?
Did you give up on your dream of becoming a doctor?
- I... - Yeah.
I think there is something more important than taking exams.
Huh?
Hey! What the hell are you doing?
Lend us some more money.
Hey, guys, cut it out!
- What the... It's Stewed pork set meal! - Oh, scary!
- Are you okay? - Yes.
You can't give them money.
Let's go.
More important than exams?
Can you think of anything, Mrs. Shimoyama?
Not a single thing!
Maybe it's me.
It could be, right?
You don't know it, Teach? What is it?
I've thought about many things after that,
but I can't find the right one.
Please, get it together.
Takashi should be coming home soon,
so I'll ask him again.
Perhaps you mean him? What's more important than exams?
He's not good at talking to people,
so next to me, he's the target of bullying.
Plus, his grades aren't very good,
so public school is his only choice.
If you go to a private school,
he'll be all alone, so you're saying you won't take the test?
But you can't just keep going to the same school
and getting the same job as your friend, you know.
And if you get into a fight with him
and end up cutting ties, won't you regret it?
Saying that you gave up going to a private school for him.
You may be right, but...
But?
He is my very first friend.
- Then here's a problem. - What?
If your friend and I were drowning in a river, which would you save first?
- My friend. - You answered quickly.
I think you could save yourself.
Then what if it's your mom and him?
It's...
What do you think?
No, I didn't think that was the reason...
What do you think I should do, Teach?
I...
I want to let Takashi do what he wants.
You mean give up private school?
I asked him.
If you and his friend were drowning,
which one would he save first?
And then Takashi...
I can't answer that.
I think that would mean
that Takashi's friend is as important to him as his mother.
If that is the case, I would like to respect his wish
to be with his friend.
But why didn't you tell us honestly before you made your decision?
If so, your mother would had consulted with you.
Mom...
I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?
I'm going to ask Dad to let me do it.
I want you to live with you like I always have been.
You... you knew?
I'm going to Dad's now.
Takashi, wait... wait a minute.
- No need for that. - Why?
Because that's your mother's job.
- Oh, there's no need for that. - What?
I'm sorry, I gave him the gist of it
and asked him to come.
Takashi, are you serious? Giving up private school for a friend.
Yes.
Hey, please.
Let Takashi do what he wants.
If that's the case, you'll give up custody, right?
No, of course not.
Because he didn't take an exam, so he didn't pass or fail.
Why are you cheating?
Takashi is Takashi, too.
If he went to a private school, he might be able to make better friends.
No, I don't think so.
Because he's not sure who to save, me or him.
I don't get it again.
You know, for Takashi's sake,
I've got his tuition fee ready.
Dad...
I'm sorry.
Can you save that for me until I go to college?
- What? - I did the math.
If I went to a private middle and high school,
it would cost about 3.6 million over six years.
If so, then why don't you spend that money when I go to Todai?
I need about the same amount for 6 years if I go to medical school at Todai.
Even if I go to a public school, I'll study hard
and definitely get into Todai.
Huh? Are you crying, Teach?
Because
I believe that
what Takashi is saying is really the right way to spend money.
So please!
Please continue to help Takashi in the future.
Before I knew it, you'd grown a lot, huh?
The second one was resolved successfully. Thank you.
...is what my friend said.
Did something good happened?
Huh? No, not really.
Oh...
What the hell were you thinking?
What's wrong?
Teacher, he finally confessed of why he's not taking the test.
What's that?
This stupid son got his classmate pregnant!
WHAT!?
How dare you do such a thing at a critical time
before the entrance exam?
- Let's calm down for now. - I'm trying to protect her.
What's wrong with that?
Mamoru, don't add fuel to the fire...
I'm saying that you can't just give up so easily after declaring that you're aiming
to be a comedian and get into Todai!
Forget it. I don't expect you to understand!
Wa--Wait, Mamoru!
What are you doing?
Isn't it obvious? I'm leaving.
Oh, leave, leave.
You're not my son anymore.
I disowned you!
No, no... Don't say such a thing...
Whose side are you on, Teacher?
You think this is acceptable?
- No, it's not - Then what, I'm wrong?
I'm supposed to protect the people I love.
Yes, what Mamoru said is right, too.
It's unclear.
As usual, give this idiot a good talking-to!
I'd love to, but unfortunately, I am not good at this field...
No matter what you say, I've made up my mind.
I'm meeting her parents tomorrow to ask if I can marry her.
Wait, Mamoru!
Wait, wait! Wait....
Teacher, what the hell just happened?
All the hard work I've put in...
Well, for now,
I'll go and talk to them so I can ask them about it.
Sorry, and thanks for coming.
I don't know you very well, so I don't know what to say.
So, let me get this straight.
Mamoru, you're giving up on college, getting a job,
and marrying your girlfriend, is that correct?
Ah... Yeah.
By the way, what brought you two together?
The first time she saw me perform on the street, she cheered me on.
I see.
- Huh? What? - Huh?
And then you started dating and had a baby after that?
Y--Yeah, is there a problem?
No, because at that time,
you were working hard to aim at two things, right?
There was no sign of that at all.
That's because, you know, if my mom found out, it would be trouble,
so I desperately hid it from her.
- And you? - What?
What do you like about Mamoru?
He's... funny and a nice guy.
I see.
See, now you get it, right? We're serious.
Yeah... Huh?
But...
you don't usually say "nice guy" to someone you really like, right?
No, that's not...
I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but is the father of your baby
really Mamoru?
Hey, what are you saying, Teach? - You know,
Mamoru used to make a lot of lame excuses,
but now, no matter how much he is ridiculed by those around him,
he has made the decision to pursue
both comedy and Todai and make lots of people smile.
He says he's willing to give that up for you,
but are you ready to give in to his feelings?
I'm sorry.
- Ah... Wait... - Mamoru!
Tell me the truth before you go after her.
She couldn't tell her parents or her friends that she was pregnant,
and she struggled alone for so long,
so she started asking me for advice, and then...
You said, "I'll be the father"?
I've always liked her...
And the guy she's dating is really terrible.
He's a college student who tutored her,
but when he found out she was pregnant, she suddenly lost touch with him.
I understand that you want to protect the person you love.
I think you got it all wrong, Mamoru.
Huh?
Isn't it really protecting her if you encourage her
to confront her family and the guy she's dating
to work through these issues?
Besides, the person you hurt the most in this whole mess is your mother.
You can't betray the one person in the world
who supports you and then try to protect someone else!
In the end, it's all for your own self-satisfaction, right?
What?
Ah, no...
It's been a while since I've seen you get angry.
Mamoru regrets what he did,
so can you forgive him?
Come on, Mamoru, apologize too.
I'm sorry.
When we left the previous house carrying you on my back,
you said to me, "Now you're protecting me," and I felt better about it
so I thought I could protect her, too.
But Teacher Torako got mad at me.
She said "it was for your self-satisfaction".
She said what am I doing hurting my precious mother.
I won't do anything stupid again,
so please continue to support my aim of becoming a comedian
and getting into Todai.
Is the girl okay?
She just texted me and said that she told her parents the truth
and that she's gonna go with them to the guy's house after that.
Then...
continue protecting her the right way from now on.
Okay.
But I was relieved because I wondered what I would do if it were true.
We owe it to Teacher Torako, too, right?
Tha—
- Teacher? - Huh...
Ah! Ah... I'm sorry.
I haven't been sleeping well lately.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
The third one was resolved successfully. Thank you.
Hello?
You didn't send it.
Send what?
The following text.
That "...is what my friend said."
It was you after all, wasn't it?
It's pretty obvious.
But I'm glad.
It seems you've proven
that you can be a good tutor just as you are.
I don't know...
I know.
The real Torako
wants everyone
she meets to be happy.
You've been holding those feelings in your hearts until now,
but those 3 families opened the lid of the love that was about to overflow.
So just keep doing what you're doing.
Thanks.
Is your wedding coming up soon then?
Yeah.
It's tomorrow.
No way...
Then that's a big deal. I'm hanging up.
810 yen.
What?
Nothing.
I bought dinner at a convenience store for 810 yen.
Then I remembered.
It was 810 yen at that time, too.
"At that time"?
At the orphanage,
you didn't know anyone, but that was the first time you spoke.
I was having trouble answering a math question,
and you suddenly said, "810 yen".
You remember that very well, don't you?
Of course, I do.
Because...
that's when
I fell in love with you.
Since then, I have been in love with you.
Oh, I'm sorry, what am I saying?
Thank you for everything.
I am really glad to have met you, Torako.
And sorry for what I did.
I betrayed you.
Goodbye.
Hello...
Oh, you're all here, I see.
Okay, I'm off to teach Takashi.
- No, no... - Wait... not that.
- We need to have a little talk. - Huh? W--What is it?
- Just sit there. - Okay.
Huh?
First of all,
thank you so much for all your help with our children.
Unlike in the past, things were so frantic
that I was a little nervous.
But I still don't think we could have solved it without you.
No, it wasn't a bother.
But you haven't solved your own problem yet, have you?
Huh? What problem?
No, why are you playing dumb?
Of course it's about Fukuta.
No, but he's having his wedding today.
- What? Today!? - What're you gonna do? Leaving it at that?
No, that's not what I'm saying...
- You like him, don't you? - No, that's not what I said...
He definitely likes you too.
- He told me that last night. - He told you that last night?
Then you should tell him how you feel even more!
No, but it's too late to say that...
Why don't you take the groom away from the wedding hall?
Yes, just like in that movie.
If you don't do that, he won't be able to make up his mind.
He's saying he wants to be with you.
No, no... But
the bride's feeling of having her groom snatched away
will traumatize her forever...
We didn't think that far ahead.
What... So that means you have to give up?
We want Teacher Torako to be happy.
What? What is it?
No, this way, no one gets hurt...
What? Wha... What? What is it?
No, I'm not sure I can do it.
What are you saying? You won't know unless we hear it.
Yes?
What's wrong?
Yeah, just...
Wanna talk about something?
Ah, yeah...
It's nothing. I just wanted to see your face.
Whoa! What are you doing here?
I saw you go in here.
Mr. Fukuta, who is this?
- Well, how should I say it... - I'm sorry, at a time like this.
But I really wanted to give you a warning.
You shouldn't marry this man!
What?
At first, he put on a friendly face,
but as soon as I had a child,
he abandoned me and ran away.
Mr. Fukuta, what is the meaning of this?
What? No, how I should I...
Why are you playing dumb?
Now you're deceiving her, aren't you?
You will definitely regret it if you marry this man.
Aren't you the one deceiving here?
What...
Oh, I'm sorry, this is...
So it was you.
When we had our first meeting, Mr. Fukuta told me about it.
What kind of person he likes.
And then he said that she is pure and lonely,
but because she can't honestly express her feelings,
she acts bad
and ends up hurting others.
I thought there was actually
a person like that and even now Mr. Fukuta can't forget...
but I guess you were too.
So you're putting on this act so as not to hurt me?
I'm sorry.
But Fukuta doesn't know. I just did it on my own.
But Mr. Fukuta likes you, too, doesn't he?
I'm sorry.
Then you should have told me that from the start!
I'm sorry.
You're the worst.
My parents are probably bowing down to her parents...
I might get disowned too.
What! I didn't think that far ahead. What should I do...
I'll tell them the truth and apologize.
It's okay, too late now.
But why did you suddenly do this...?
It's...
I was told to properly express my feelings to you
by the three mothers.
What?
810 yen.
I probably liked you before
I first said that to you.
Back then, you spoke kindly to everyone in the orphanage.
You spoke to me with a smile, even though I had never opened up to you.
So I thought I had to say something,
but I just couldn't do it.
Then I saw that you were having trouble with a math problem.
When you
told everyone, "Torako-chan is smart,
so we should ask her to teach us,"
it made me really happy.
I thought that I was not alone.
You made me feel that way, which makes me like you even more.
So...
when I found out that you had betrayed me like that,
I was really sad and wanted to die...
But...
more than that, the kindness and love you gave me is something
I will never forget forever.
So...
from now on,
I hope you will stay by my side.
Oh, what do we do? It's almost time for the acceptance announcement.
They're really gonna call, right? At 11:00 a.m.
You both need to calm down.
The result doesn't matter either way.
Chie-chan did such a good job.
- Yes, that's right. - Sorry.
There it is!
- Go on, Dear, take it.... - No, no, Honey, answer it...
I can't do it! My heart is about to burst...
- Hurry and answer it! - Then please do it, Teacher.
What? Are you sure?
Well, okay...
Hello? Nakamura residence.
I understand.
How... how was it?
She passed it.
- Yay! - Wow, Chie!
We did it! We did it! Congrats, Chie-chan!
Congrats! Congrats! We did it! We did it!
I'm so happy. Thank you!
- Congrats! - What the heck...?
You were the one who was the most nervous, Teacher.
It's hard to be happy if you do that much.
I'm sorry, but I'm so happy that even I
don't understand it, because
Chie-chan really did her best.
Thank you. I owe it all to you, Teacher.
Chie-chan...
Thank you.
March
Let's see, the exam number is 509, right?
Yes, because I memorized it as Gookyu.
Goukyū (号泣) - crying loudly You mean we're gonna cry when you pass it?
Or do we weep because you failed?
Don't say that to me.
Now, now. Calm down, both of you.
Hey, hey... why are you at my store?
If he gets accepted, we want to celebrate it with stewed pork
and if he fails, we thought that a stewed pork would cheer him up.
Cheer up.
- It's about time. - Ah, yes.
I can't do it! Teacher, you look at it!
- No, look at it yourself. - It might bring good luck that way.
- We had you pick up the phone for Chie. - Yeah!
Teacher, please.
I understand.
509, 509, 509...
What's wrong, Teacher?
With that face, which one is it?
Sorry, it didn't work.
What? Wait...
No way...
I'm sorry, Mom.
No... what are you saying!? You did a great job.
Teacher, I'm sorry, I broke your 100% pass rate record.
No, no, don't be...
Besides, I'm done with that catchphrase.
- Really? - What's important
is not whether you pass the exam or not, but to grow up.
Mamoru, Takashi, and Chie-chan, in fact, they all did.
So don't worry! I'm sure you'll get accepted next time, Mamoru.
ronin = failed at extrance exam and waiting to get another chance Mom, is it okay? Even if I'm a ronin.
Bring it on!
Teacher, please continue helping him from now on.
I'm sorry!
That's not possible.
- What? - Why not? Can you not look after him?
I would love to, but...
I'm going to Hokkaido.
- What? - Why?
I put out an application online for my next students,
and kids from a small town in Hokkaido
sent me three piggy banks.
Here.
When they learned that they could decide their own course fees,
they asked me, "Can you tutor me using the allowance I've saved up until now?"
I felt compelled to respond to these children's wishes.
I want them to think
that the money in this piggy banks has been spent correctly.
Plus,
I got a globe from my mom before she left me.
I've always wondered why she chose a globe,
but I think it may have been my mother's wish
for me to go to different places
and meet as many people as possible,
since there are so many people in it.
Huh? So you're going too, Fukuta?
I'm staying.
I proposed, but she turned me down.
Hey! I'm just asking you to wait a little bit.
Sorry, sorry.
She gets spoiled when I'm around, so she prefers to be alone.
So when are you going?
- Tomorrow. - That's so sudden!?
No... so we can't have a farewell party.
- It's not a farewell. - Huh...
For me,
the place where you all are is my home.
Now that I have a place I can come home to anytime,
I can go anywhere.
I will still miss you.
Chie-chan.
I have three words that I like.
The first one is "prepared".
You didn't run away from the entrance exam
because you were prepared that nothing would change
if you passed or failed.
I hope you can overcome any adversity without losing sight of who you are.
Be happy that your mom and dad are always there for you,
no matter what.
Okay.
Takashi.
My second word that I like is "courage".
Instead of advancing your education,
you chose to cherish the first friend you ever made.
I think that's great courage.
Because of your innocence,
you might be misunderstood or betrayed by others ahead.
But even in those times,
I hope you will not lose the courage to trust others.
You have
a wonderful role model in your mother.
Yeah, I do.
Mamoru.
My third word that I like is "love".
It used to be the word I hated the most,
but thanks to you, I like it.
You have made a decision to lead a life
of making others smile with lots of love.
But I'm sure reality is not that sweet
and full of adversities.
But even in those times, don't be bitter like I used to be,
even if today is hard,
I want you to look forward knowing that there will be a better tomorrow.
You have the strongest ally
who can give you unconditional love at any time.
Roger that.
No... But will I be okay without Teach?
Don't worry! I will refer you to a reliable tutor.
What? Who is it?
I'm sorry.
I am Fukuta Fukuda, the private tutor.
He is a graduate of Todai and a former elite of the Ministry of Finance,
he is good at getting close to the feelings of others,
and I can confidently recommend him as the teacher.
- Please tutor me, Teach! - It'll be my pleasure.
Then why don't we have a send-off party now?
We should!
- But I will still be sad about it. - You must endure it!
Let's be cute as we set her off.
- Moms! - Yes!
Ever since my mother left me when I was 7,
I had always pictured
an ideal mother figure in my mind.
She is
strong, cheerful, and a kind mother.
Mrs. Maki,
Seeing someone weak, you can't leave them. You are full of moral sense
and no matter how hard it is, you live with your heart out.
You are very dependable and a strong mother.
Thank you.
Mrs. Tomoyo,
as the saying goes, "Fortunes comes in by merry gate,"
you are a cheerful mother
who makes all of our hardships go away
just by looking at your smile.
No, no! Really?
Mrs. Satomi,
as Mamoru said, you are the strongest mother, but I believe
that is because you are full of kindness and love not only for your family,
but also for everyone around you.
I can't do anything else.
You three are my ideal mothers.
So, from now on,
can I continue to call you "Mom"?
Of course you can! What are you even saying?!
I'm not mature enough to be called that yet.
Oh yeah!
Teacher, you're gonna be like Santa Claus.
Huh?
Because you want to bring love to every child in the world, right?
It makes me happy to hear you say that.
I think being Santa Claus
is the most accurate way to spend money in the world.
Every Christmas, Santa Claus around the world
thinks long and hard about buying presents for their loved ones.
If everyone all the time
could use money with love like that,
I think what a wonderful world it would be.
Say cheese!
- Okay. - Thank you very much.
Thanks and I'm sorry.
- Thank goodness, it cleared up. - Yeah!
Maybe they're celebrating my promotion.
What are you talking about? It's for Chie's admission.
- Let's go? - Yes, let's go.
- What's in your lunch box today? - Come on!
Hurry up, both of you, or you'll be late!
You're so annoying, you're full of energy today.
That's right. Because I'm seriously aiming for the Olympics.
See ya!
Okay, that's it!
What the? You've only solved half of it?
I told you the exam is a race against time.
- Okay, start over. - I can't take it anymore.
I still want a beautiful tutor!
- No complaining. Okay, start. - Yes...
Focus, focus!
Maria-chan.
I hear your daughter is working hard in Hokkaido.
Right, let me read you her letter.
Nezu Family Grave
Tora...
Torako!
Torako!

Torako!
Torako!
