Uninstall.

Back then, the greatest shock to our reality...

was that our lives were so primitive and simplistic, it was laughing in our faces.

Even covering my ears, the truth slipped through my fingers and left me confused.

Where in my frail body am I supposed to hold the strength to stand?

Uninstall. Uninstall.

Right now, I can't even begin to understand...

how the countless lives on this planet are essentially one.

Uninstall. Uninstall.

It looks like I'll have no choice but to act as a soldier who knows no fear.

Uninstall.

Uninstall.

Chizuru, are you leaving already?

Yeah.

What about breakfast?

I don't need it.

That's no good. You have to eat properly.

I'm in a hurry, and I don't want it anyway.

Really?

Ah, hold on a second. Let's go together.

I'll be fine.

Scars

Let's go, let's go! I'll become your servant and follow you wherever you go!

You already memorized the lines?

What are you two doing...?

They decided on "Momotaro the Peach Boy" as the play for the Children's Neighborhood Association.

I'm playing the role of the monkey!

The monkey...?

Who's going to play Momotaro?

Momotaro will be Naoto-kun's father.

The dog is Chie-chan's dad, and the pheasant is Micchan's mom.

Kaneko-san and her friends said they'd play the devils, too.

And Dad had to be the monkey.

And I gotta practice, you know!

Would you like to help out too, Chizuru?

Ah, it is your last year in the Association, after all.

You should do it!

No way...

Why not?

I'm not interested.

I wanted to show this to you.

What is this?

This is where I want to go to school.

A private institution? Why?

The facilities are supposed to be really great. Their sports teams all compete nationally, too.

Is everyone planning to go there?

Three other students in my class said they were applying there.

And are they your friends?

Not really, but...

Then you might be a little lonely.

No I won't...

You sure are unique, Chizuru.

Wanting to take entrance exams when you're still in elementary school.

Wouldn't it be better to go to a school with all of your friends?

Yeah, staying in your hometown would be best.

Your sister also went to school here, right?

I don't want to be the same as her!

Onee-chan...

Have a minute?

It looks like Chizu-chan's panties have gone missing...

The red checkered ones.

I'm pretty sure I hung them up to dry.

Did you look around for them?

Yeah.

Where could they have gone?

They're not here, right? Someone must've stolen them!

I thought that might be the case, but...

The police! We have to call the police!

You only lost one pair, right?

But my panties were stolen!

That's true... we probably shouldn't have hung them outside.

From now on, why don't we hang our clothing up inside?

Hey...

Yeah. Let's be more careful from now on.

I can't believe this...

There was a thief! Call the police!

Ah, I know! Maybe your panties were stolen because they were so flashy!

I thought they were a little-loud, too.

I mean, just look at your skirt.

Isn't this a bit short?

After all, Chizuru's always trying to look her best, right?

How can you change the topic to something like this?

Listen to me!

I'm seriously thinking about school, too!

What's she talking about?

Oh, Chizuru wants to take entrance exams for a private school.

What? Is there still enough time?

There's no way you'd make it this late in the year.

I won't know until I actually try, right?!

Now, now.

Anyway, Kaneko-san said she was looking for someone to push the peach.

I wonder what go into her?

What is she so angry about?

All right!

Oh? So they repainted the gym.

Ah, this is the first year's classroom?

When I went here, this room was for the second year students.

No one but you would come with me, Onee-chan.

Mom and Dad couldn't care less about me.

Chizu-chan, you know Dad has work and Mom has her neighborhood council duties.

Excuse us.

Please come in.

I'm sorry, but both my father and mother couldn't come due to some prior engagements.

Ah, so you're her older sister, then?

Thank you for seeing us.

It's my pleasure. Please have a seat.

It must be nice having a cheerful and reliable sister like this, Honda.

Really?

It'd be great if you were always as cheerful as her.

Is Chizu a quiet student?

Well... maybe she's just not used to her class yet.

She doesn't talk about school much, though it's not to the point where we're too worried.

If there's anything you're concerned about, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I believe having a tight-knit relationship between the family and school is essential to a child's education.

Thank you very much.

Has she been thinking about what she wants to do with her studies?

Or is it a bit too early?

Ah... we were thinking that it'd be best for her to go to a public school until high school.

Though it looks like she might want to go to a private institution...

Just forget about it already.

What do you mean?

She wanted to take an entrance exam for a private middle school.

But we're a very laid-back family, so we didn't think it was fit for her.

I see... so you wanted to go to a private school, Honda.

But I went here, and my parents both recommended the local schools.

Onee-san, that's the wrong way of thinking.

Isn't respecting the student's feelings the first step to her ideal education?

So the student isn't left regretting these irreplaceable middle school days...

you have to try your hardest to make her dreams come true.

There are also the expenses for a private school...

Some students get by on a scholarship.

If she works hard now, it wouldn't be completely out of your league.

Really?

Honda, give it everything you've got.

If you show everyone just how hard you work, I'm sure your parents will understand.

Okay...

Why don't we try talking this over with Mom and Dad again?

Let me give you some of the papers you'll need.

Honda, could you go over to the teachers' office and pick them up for me?

Ah, yes!

You know Inada-sensei, the teacher in charge of your grade, right?

If you ask her for them, she'll tell you where they are.

All right.

We're just a very laid-back family who wants the best for her.

I see, Onee-san.

Nothing's wrong with wanting the best for her, but everyone should have an equal chance at an education.

So he's the basketball coach.

If I can do up to here, then...

Honda. You haven't left yet?

I stopped by the library, so...

Sensei, which way are you headed?

This way.

What a coincidence! So am I!

Do you live alone, Sensei?

Yeah, that's right.

What do you do for your meals?

I buy pre-made dinners.

You should just make something yourself.

That's such a pain. I don't like cleaning dishes, either.

Lazy, aren't we?

Aw, that's mean. I'm a hard worker who sweats for my students.

I bet you're the second child in your family, Sensei.

How could you tell? You're right.

I'm the second daughter in my family, so I'm just like you.

Don't you sometimes hate that you have an older sibling?

It always feels like I'm second to Onee-chan.

I heard your sister was the captain of the track and field team.

You're not going to join, too?

How'd you know that?

Ah... I heard from Inada-sensei.

I'm not too good at sports.

Then what are you good at?

Cooking, I guess.

You don't believe me, do you?

No, that's not it.

Then, why don't I make you a boxed lunch next time?

Since it looks like you're starving for a home-cooked meal, Sensei.

I wish you wouldn't decide that all on your own.

Is that so? Then I guess I don't have to make you one.

Goodbye!

Okay, okay.

Then I'll leave it to you.

What's gotten into you? You've never cooked before.

I have. A few times.

That looks pretty good.

Really?

Yeah.

Thanks for the food.

Was it good?

I sent you a message, right?

I wanted to hear it from your own mouth.

It was delicious.

Hatagai-sensei, bye!

Bye!

Ah, be careful on your way home, girls. Bye!

And then she said...

Take this as thanks for the boxed lunch.

Really?

I wouldn't lie about something like this.

A dolphin.

It's so cute!

Dolphins are smart and friendly, right?

Just like you.

T-Thank you very much.

Bokurano!

Go on.

D-Do you really think it's okay to wear something like that to school?

Tell her.

And it doesn't even fit your image.

I don't care. I like dolphins.

Pathetic.

Huh?

Chizu, are you here to watch again?

You should just join already.

Hey, Hatagai-sensei isn't here today, is he?

I think he was called to the principal's office for something or other.

Sensei.

Did something happen?

She told me I was fired from being the basketball coach.

Why?

I don't understand.

Why are you being fired from that?

Sensei...

That principal is a tyrant.

She wouldn't listen to a word I said. It was completely one-sided.

Is there anything I can do?

It's all right, Honda.

I could make you a homemade meal!

You still have to eat properly when you're down.

But...

You've cheered me up before, so please let me do something in return.

Honda, you're so sweet.

It's a little cramped, but...

Excuse my intrusion!

I'm gonna open your fridge.

There's nothing in here...

S-Sensei! Hey!

Please stop!

Please.

But... I'm one of your students...

That has nothing to do with it.

As long as we're honest with our feelings, who cares how society sees us?

But...

I love you.

Sensei...

Chizuru...

Sensei, I also...

love you.

Sensei, you give me everything.

And I don't mean in a physical sense but just from talking to you...

just from being by your side, you bring out everything there is to me.

That's what you mean to me.

Sensei!

Did you get yelled at?

You did go home late last night.

Don't worry. They trust me.

That's good to hear.

Hey!

We can't do that here!

I'm sorry.

Hey, Chizu, did you see this?

You like the beach, right?

Why don't you come along?

I'm thinking of going!

If I stayed home all summer, my parents would drive me up a wall, you know?

Hey, you said you were going too, right?

Ah... yeah, sure...

Come on, Chizu. Let's go together, yeah?

Kako-kun, could you save it for later?

Goddamn. Because of you, this always happens.

What is this?

Did he mean to send this to someone else?

This is a crime that has actually been reported at other schools like our own.

Miniature cameras have been placed in the bathrooms and locker rooms...

and the pictures taken have been released onto the Internet.

Which is why our school must be cautious against such events.

I've seen that website! If anyone sees something suspicious...

That's the lowest... If anyone sees something suspicious...

That's the lowest... inform the nearest teacher immediately.

You wanna see the pics, don't you? inform the nearest teacher immediately.

You wanna see the pics, don't you? By removing issues such as these...

Don't you think the principal suspects Hatagai-sensei? By removing issues such as these...

Don't you think the principal suspects Hatagai-sensei? we can finally bring order back to the school grounds.

Yeah, Hatagai really seems to be under fire, huh? we can finally bring order back to the school grounds.

It's like they're keeping track of him. we can finally bring order back to the school grounds.

I bet that's why he got fired from the basketball team. If you're on classroom cleaning duty, please be careful.

Shh! She can hear you! If you're on classroom cleaning duty, please be careful.

If you're on classroom cleaning duty, please be careful.

And also, students, the time you've been spending on the Internet has...

You're...!

Can I come in?

Honda, what are you...?!

Quit it!

What are you doing?!

Stop it!

You posted us on the Internet, didn't you?

I'm sorry.

I won't do anything like this again.

I promise.

Honda!

Please don't go!

It was difficult for me.

Being punished by the principal... being treated coldly by all the other teachers...

If I didn't do this, I wouldn't have been able to keep it together.

In this dirty world we live in...

I wouldn't be able to survive if I couldn't hear the whispers of a pure, beautiful heart like yours!

Sensei...

So, please... please forgive me.

Chizu-chan, hey!

What are you doing out at a time like this?

Ah... I was just hanging out.

At a friend's place?

Yeah.

What about you, Onee-chan?

That's a secret!

Just kidding. I'll tell you later.

Bye!

Someone lay a branch beneath the baby bird's feet...

as a guidepost, so it won't get lost on the other side of the river.

Don't think that what you see here is everything there is to the world.

I watch your smiling profile as you gather the unripened blue berries.

I know they'll be bitter, yet your small wings shine brightly as you carry them.

Because you were born, you thought you were perfect.

You tried to fly off, but I held you back.
