Hana! What's wrong?!

Did he do something to you?

No, actually, I just—

No, don't say it!

You again?

No, it's not like that...

Enough! That's all the work for today!

Return to the prison!

Nicely done, Kiyoshi-dono!

Making that despot Hana cry as you did!

No, a crow just suddenly—

Kiyoshi! When you step up, you really step up!

I'm just glad I got through it without getting killed.

All right, let's hoist him up!

Sto—!

I promised Chiyo-chan that

I would go on our date to the sumo matches.

What do I do?!

I hear the boys are in that prison...

aren't they?

Don't you think that punishment...

is a little too harsh?

They were caught

doing something they would normally be expelled for.

They deserve it.

Besides, going coed was something that I—

No, make that the majority of students, the alumni,

not to mention the current educators, were all opposed to.

I understand the desire to preserve tradition,

but changes are also necessary from time to time...

don't you think?

Chairman, you ignored everyone's objections,

unilaterally allowed those five boys to enroll here,

and this problematic behavior was the result.

Well, that's something any boy their age would try...

right?

Peeping is a criminal offense!

I know.

I have no intention of justifying their actions.

But I want you to at least give them Saturdays and Sundays off.

Those are the prison rules...

aren't they?

I am aware of that, Father.

Starting today, your after-school work detail will be to clear this wasteland.

I didn't say a word! What was that for?!

Ask me why you're clearing it.

That was unwarranted...

As the question has arisen,

the reason you will clear this land is to create a campus vegetable garden!

Um, may I ask a question?

Permission granted.

Do we get Saturdays and Sundays off?

On Saturdays and Sundays, when you have no classes, the work goes on, right?

You'll work, of course.

However...

prisoners who exhibit good behavior

will be allowed three hours of weekend free time,

including furloughs.

President!

Freedom!

All right! This will work!

My date to the sumo matches with Chiyo-chan is next Saturday!

All right! Guys, let's do it!

We will be model high school prisoners!

We're getting the weekend off, no matter what!

It's the student council president!

The vice president, too!

They're so cool!

President!

This year's

"Underground Student Council Official Guide Book" has just arrived.

Now Hana-san is here, too!

She's so cute!

The Underground Student Council sure is popular, huh?

Enough so that they have their own guide book—

Ow!

What did you do that for, Joe?!

You...

You almost stepped on some ants.

Ants?

Joe-kun, you really like ants.

You there! No slacking off!

Sorry!

Chairman, this year's guide book...

This is why all men are scum.

Break time!

Break time? Does that mean we still have to work?

It's tough, but if I work hard to be a model prisoner,

I can go on my date with Chiyo-chan!

Why are they having a break?

They aren't making any progress, are they?

At this rate...

we'll have to make them work over the weekend, too.

President! That's not fai—!

Stay away from the president!

I won't be able to go on my date!

What do I do? Sick family member?

No, they'll find out right away.

A stomach ache? There's no way they'll fall for that.

What do I do, Chiyo-chan?

I have to break out!

On the gate!

Roll call!

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

Vice President!

The trash is building up, may I go dispose of it?

Permission granted.

At this rate,

it will be big enough for me to get through on the day of our date.

Three minutes is the limit for each turn here.

Chiyo-chan?

What is she trying to do?

Kiyoshi-kun, the line for the Student Sumo Tournament

forms at 13:00 at the Ryogoku Gymnasium entrance.

You can get sprung on Saturday, can't you?

"Thank you very much."

"No, thank you."

The truth is, now that I won't get a furlough,

I've got no choice but to break out.

Well, something will turn up!

What do you mean by forgetting to load the trash onto the cart?

My apologies!

Yikes! I missed a pile!

Now Gakuto's taking the blame for it!

I'm sorry! I'll dispose of it at once!

Kiyoshi-dono!

No, you go!

Gakuto, sorry about earlier.

You got yelled at because of me...

Gakuto?

Are you okay?

Huh?

Yes... I am splendid. I've grown inured to it.

It was my fault, take one of my Karaage.

Oh, much obliged.

Kiyoshi-dono, would you fancy some more tea?

"10,000 feet up in the Alps on Mount Koyari."

Sure, thanks.

"Let's all dance the Alpine dance now, hey!"

You know, Kiyoshi-dono,

this was lying near the trash site.

He knows.

He definitely knows.

What the hell is Gakuto planning to do?

Can I offer to wash your back for you?

Kiyoshi-dono,

from what I hear, yokozuna have assistants

wash their backs for them, as well as their posteriors.

No! I'm not a yokozuna, so I'll pass.

As of today, Hana will return as your overseer.

Nice working with you!

This sucks.

What are you whispering about?!

Commence laboring!

Yes!

Gakuto isn't going to squeal to the Underground Student Council about me breaking out.

As I remember, if they find out about it,

everyone's sentence will be extended by a month—

All right!

I shall do my absolute best today!

No sumo stomping without permission!

What the hell is he doing?

All of these sumo-themed antics!

Is he enjoying himself by harassing me?

If it comes down to it, I'll take him and...

Hey, where are you?

Sorry, I was arranging some garbage in the back.

What is it?

You told the other boys, didn't you?

Huh?

About what happened.

About what happened?

Me pee—

Huh?

About me peeing!

You told everyone, and made fun of me!

I didn't do anything like that.

Liar! I don't believe you!

It's the truth.

Then, you do it, too.

Huh? Do what?

Pee for me, right here! In front of my eyes!

Do that, and I'll believe you!

No way, I can't do that!

You saw me do it, so let me see you do it!

Otherwise, it's not fair, is it?!

If you don't, then I'll kill you, and then take my own life!

A-All right!

Y-You really want me to do this?

Of course I do.

What are you doing?

Do it turned towards me.

Huh?!

Whoa! Aren't you a little close?

You were even closer, weren't you?

Now hurry and start going.

Kiyoshi-dono! Kiyoshi-dono!

Gakuto, what's up?

You missed a pile of trash again.

Tch.

Oh, sorry.

Once you finish disposing of it, return to work immediately.

Yes!

You saved me, Gakuto.

Thanks.

Gakuto did just save me, right?

What's going on here?

He's not planning to rat me out?

Oh, no!

He's heading toward the hole I'm digging!

Gakuto!

Damn it! He's going to see definitive proof!

At this point, I have no choice but to...

If you are planning...

to break out...

it would have to be hither, where you are unaccompanied.

I want you to break out.

Huh?

Yours truly shall assist you with your breakout, Kiyoshi-dono.

You'll... help me break out?

Correct.

You, who's been threatening me with sumo-themed antics all day?

I was signaling you that yours truly would abet your escape!

How was I supposed to know?! And why are you helping me, anyway?!

The day of the Student Sumo Tournament in two weeks...

That is a momentous day for yours truly, as well.

Specifics forthcoming this evening.

President, I'll wash your back for you.

Thank you.

Please do, Vice President.

Incidentally, I understand that yokozuna

have attendants wash their backs, and their posteriors.

Vice President...

Have I put on that much weight?

To yokozuna-grade?

No! I did not mean it that way!

Please excuse me!

I apologize for having you oversee the boys through the weekend.

Don't be absurd.

However, are you sure about disobeying the chairman's orders,

by making the prisoners work on their days off?

It is only model prisoners that are given free time on the weekends.

Since they are behind on their prison labors,

there is no way they can be considered model prisoners.

You are absolutely correct.

When I think about how those peeping toms could be released into the wild within half a month,

I become deeply concerned.

Mari must have seen this.

Could this be the reason she took the boys' free time from them?

I just have to say...

Women!

Just in case,

I'd better take this home...

with me.

"The tanuki on Mount Genkotsu

I'd like to see some commercial TV for once.

Yours truly does not have a craven motive

"drinks his milk, has a nap,

such as a date to a sumo match.

drinks his milk, has a nap..."

Kiyoshi-dono, have you heard of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

Well, I know the name, at least.

The time is the Late Han Dynasty, at the end of the 2nd century.

The might of the emperor descends beneath the soil,

and the eunuchs known as the Ten Attendants seize power—

Get to the point!

What I'm saying is that after an eternity,

a once-every-four-years Three Kingdoms figurine fair is being held in Akihabara!

Yours truly must go there to procure limited edition

Guan Yu and Red Hare figurines!

That's your craven motive?

What do you mean, craven?! It's a once-every-four-years limited edition!

And that's why you want to break out with me?

Kiyoshi-dono, you really are a buffoon.

During work—

What are you guys up to?

Playing gomoku.

You wanna go next?

Man, how dull. Count me out.

Kiyoshi-dono, it's a one-hour trip one-way from this prison

to Ryogoku Gymnasium, where your sumo date will be.

Positing that watching the matches takes one hour, that's a total of three hours.

Kiyoshi-dono, if you go missing for three hours during work,

you are certain to be found out.

True enough.

In other words, it is categorically impossible for you to break out alone.

That is why I said I would abet you.

Saturday afternoon, during the three hours when you will break out and go on your date,

as well as buy yours truly's Three Kingdoms figurine,

yours truly will distract the overseers' gaze!

Distract them? But how?

Hmph, I have a stratagem.

I-Is that...?

A map of the school made to look like a gomoku game?!

Patrolling the school building, are we?

Are you going home?

Be careful—

Starting tomorrow,

the boys will be treated even more harshly.

Their crimes are bad enough, but I will ensure

they won't become the deplorable kind of person that you are.

You don't...

say!

Kiyoshi-dono, the hole that you are digging—

If you can extricate yourself through there,

you can make your escape without anyone noticing.

The problem is, how do I distract the overseers for three hours?

The Underground Student Council is unlikely to not notice.

Listen, Gakuto,

from what you're saying,

I'm beginning to think that breaking out is impossible.

Never you fear!

Yours truly has been called the most resourceful general in Nerima.

I have something up my sleeve to make the impossible possible!

I'm going to go dispose of this trash.

Permission granted.

Kiyoshi-dono!

What's the matter, Gakuto—

How often will you miss piles before you're satisfied?!

Ah, my bad, my bad.

I've done it again.

What in blazes are you saying it like that for?!

You offer me a sincere apology, right now!

Oh, pipe down. It doesn't really matter.

It does matter!

Stand still and take your pommeling like a man!

What are you doing?!

Apologize!

What are you two doing?!

Why, you...

No!

It wasn't us!

It was Hana-san!

They were fighting, and pushed it over.

Eh?! No way!

Heads or tails, choose one.

Huh?

Choose now!

Heads.

Tails.

The president told me to go even harder on you from now on,

so I got this riding crop.

C-Can't breathe...!

Don't move!

Don't make a sound!

Ow! No, don't—!

That looks really bad.

How awful.

Yeah.

Tails is awful, all right, but heads gets even more contact.

You two are hereby ordered to repair the shed.

No way!

Just the two of us?

Unthinkable!

Kiyoshi-dono...

Gakuto!

Stage one of the plan...

...is an unqualified success.

Cut some notches into the posts with the saw,

pretend to fight, and bring down the shed.

Now the two of us can remain by the escape hole, unsupervised.

As expected from you!

What are you two up to?

Eh?!

Don't "Eh" me.

Start fixing it, right now.

Um, Hana-san, are you staying here?

Of course I am. I'm your overseer.

Hey, Gakuto, with Hana-san staying here now,

what do we do?

I am the famed most resourceful general in Nerima.

Then you do have a plan for this?

Nonetheless, even yours truly did not foresee this development!

Seriously?

What are we going to do?

What are you two whispering about over there?

Hey, Kiyoshi, come here a minute.

Ugh, just me?

My deepest condolences.

What were you two talking about?

You weren't telling four-eyes about that, were you?

About that? You mean the peeing?

Shh! Lower your voice!

I'm sorry.

I mean it.

If you tell anyone, I'll kill you, then kill myself.

I know! I won't tell anyone!

In that case, make with it, right now.

I don't have to go right now...

Then, I'll make it so you have to go plenty.

What is that?

It's just ordinary tea.

Now drink it!

Are you in one piece?!

Have you come up with any ideas?

If you think coming up with ideas is that easy!

You'd be right, for yours truly has the brightest mind in Nerima.

Oh! So, what do we do?!

We are ill-matched for Hana-dono in strength.

Hence, we attack from the inside.

I get it. So...?

I shall take Hana-dono as my wife.

Huh?

The quickest way is to make Hana-dono enthralled by yours truly.

Sorry, but I don't have any idea what you're saying.

Now, now, just listen.

According to my profiling, a lass who likes clovers,

wears leggings under her skirt, and wears her hair in straight bangs...

is highly likely to be a history fangirl.

Yours truly, who is well-versed in history, can easily make Hana-dono fall for him.

Let's think up another way.

There is no time.

I shall get right to it.

Hold on! You'll get killed!

Hana-dono!

Hmm?

Woe, troubled times, troubled times!

This is a tale from the continent, circa the dawn of the third century!

Zhao Yun, carrying Lord Liu Bei's son Adou,

outstrips a force of 100,000 to—

Don't go spilling that nonsense to me!

I am stunned by this unexpected turn of events.

I'm stunned by how closely I predicted what would happen.

All doors are closed to us now!

My dreams are left to die!

It's still too soon to give up, right?

Hmm?

Kiyoshi-dono, why are you doing a dance step?

Oh, uh, no reason.

By any chance, Kiyoshi-dono...

This is felicitous.

Let yours truly handle this.

Kiyoshi-dono requires use of the lavatory!

He requests your permission!

You idiot! Knock it off!

You are such a child, Kiyoshi-dono.

There is naught to be ashamed of.

No, he's wrong!

Gakuto is under the wrong impression!

Permission granted.

Holding it in is not conducive to your well-being.

Hey, you stay out of it!

I said, permission granted!

Uh, yes.

Of course, she's coming, too.

Okay, we're good to go.

No, we're not!

Please leave!

I'll leave after I see you pee!

I mean it! Please don't do this!

You don't know when to quit! Out with it!

No! It'll really come out!

I told you, let it out already!

I can't! Don't press there!

Why, you...

Just hold still!

N... N...

N...

No! Please let me go!

Stop fidgeting!

Hana! What's wrong?!

Vice President...

Is that...?!

I had a little accident.

Hana! Pull it together!

Hana is not feeling well, and is taking the day off.

Kiyoshi-dono, what manner of strategy did you use?

Oh, I didn't do anything.

Whatever the case, now our breakout plan can proceed as planned.

What are you grinning about?!

Next time on Prison School:

"A Mighty Spurt."
