I'm telling you, count me out!
Miu-chan invited you, so there's no way you won't go, right?
Go by yourself.
I'm not interested in any lecture.
But Miu-chan's going to be hosting~
Actually, did Miu-chan invite you, Kazuomi?
Oh, that's right.
I wasn't invited.
After all, I'm Haruya-kun's barter.
So if you don't go, I can't either!
That's an exaggeration.
And also...
Apparently if you have a certificate of completion, it counts as one unit of general education.
- Seriously?! - Yeah.
Well, if I have to...
Children that believe they can do a certain thing,
Find their abilities gradually develop,
And they become children who can express themselves in daily life.
That's why you need to praise them, and keep praising them...
It's important to give them the confidence to believe they can do it.
Sensei's really popular.
Thank you.
So in your opinion,
Frankly, what is the ultimate style of education?
Let's see...
It's about parents firmly forming their child's future.
Does that mean to respect the parent's intentions over the child's?
Not at all, that's a misunderstanding.
Parents lead their children since they're young, and their dreams will fuse with the children's.
For that purpose, parents should have a clear vision of what they want their children to become.
Ah, I see.
I want to give birth to a child soon too!
You're skipping over a few things!
You need to find a wonderful husband first, right?
It'd be nice if I did!
Hey, look at that!
Miu-chan's looking in my direction!
What was that?
Obviously looking Haruya-kun's way!
She's a million years too early to have Haruya-kun's kids.
Haruya's genes should be shared with everyone.
I'm gonna go to the toilet...
- Okay, let's leave it as is. - Right.
You've worked hard today.
Oh, thank you.
- It was a great success. - Yes.
Thanks to you.
Not at all...
Yes?
Excuse me.
- Ah, I'll introduce you. - Please.
This is my only daughter, Rika.
She's first year student at the Saint Shirayuri university.
Nice to meet you. I'm Tomita Rika.
You were a great help to my mother today. Thank you.
No, I should say the same.
You two look like sisters rather than mother and daughter!
Thankfully I raised the ideal daughter.
Oh, that's right! The other day...
The draft of the interview came out. What do you think?
It's quite nice, isn't it?
It's lovely.
I've longed for this kind of mother child relationship!
- Come in! - Excuse me.
Flowers were sent for you, Tomita-sensei.
Thank you.
I love these flowers.
Has something happened?
[To bogus education commentator Tomita Reiko, Your way is just brainwashing. If you intend to appear in the media any more, I'll commit suicide before your eyes.]
This is...
Another one came?
[commit suicide]
By 'another one'... you mean these come often?
Especially more, recently.
If you do this kind of work, of course there'll be criticism.
But to end their own life...
I wonder what I should do...
Well,
I may be able to help you.
Good work today!
- Wait, wait! - Hey, watch out!
Why are you just doing sales by yourself?
I was thinking of you.
You just want to play detective, don't you?
You're terrible.
Now now, a suicide notice is a legitimate crime, you know?
It can't be helped that Miu-chan is worried.
Right?
Exactly.
And so, good work Miu-chan!
No, in the first place, how do you expect me to find the sender of this threatening letter?
Go to Tomita-sensei's lectures,
And investigate each guest, maybe?
Impossible, no way.
I'm no good with commentators to begin with...
You aren't in a position to be picky, are you?
That's why no matter how much time passes, you don't save any money.
I definitely won't do it.
Even if Sensei said she'd give you a reward?
How much?
A million.
A million?
Youth Detective Haruya ~ I won't forgive adults' evils! ~
This is a free fansub by mottofreaky/ihsarafes/warpedwriter.
Hello, Miss.
Do you have some kind of business with my Shizu-chan's 'Alabama'?
You can drink!
You sure can drink!
Shizu-chan, another glass!
I told you to stop already!
Don't be so friendly!
- Huh? - Tomita-sensei is san education commentator.
She's a big name in how to raise children too!
Methods of child-raising, huh.
For kids, if they don't listen to what you say,
It's fine to just slap them.
Isobe-san!
There are still a lot of men like this, I see.
They call it the scourge of love, right?
The scourge of love is simply violence.
Even if you apply physical pain,
You won't be able to resolve the problem.
Someone like you probably wouldn't understand.
Sorry about that.
You're the one who doesn't understand.
Even Coach Hoshino,
Because he guided the young ones strictly and with love in 2003,
They were able to win the league!
I want to become that kind of father~!
Isobe-san!
You say, but you're still a bachelor.
Don't do that!
What?
A bachelor!
Don?t put me together with other bachelors living around here! -Noble?!
I'm a noble bachelor! Ha-ha-ha
Isobe!
Leave!
Huh?
What the referee says is absolute...
Finally some quiet.
Sensei, please take a seat here.
- Me too, me too. - Hey.
I'll introduce you again.
These are the three I said were dependable.
Say...
I can only see normal university students.
They look like this, but they do quite well!
They resolved my stalker case too.
I see.
But you see, if I give out the same reward,
A professional detective would be better...
Wait, wait, wait...
It's a million yen. A million, you know.
Wait, it's my phone. My phone...
It's a phone call!
Hello?
Hello, onii-chan? It's me.
Oh, Fuuka?
What's up?
You see, I just started learning Japanese traditional dance.
Another lesson?
They say Japanese culture develops the right brain.
Japanese culture develops the right brain?
It says so in a person called Tomita Reiko's book.
I want to go to one of her lectures too...
Oh... really?
But we can't get tickets at all.
It's five times as expensive on a net auction, you know!
What?
Really...
That's right!
There's going to be a Japanese dance recital,
You should come see me in my kimono.
Mm. Got it.
Do your best!
You've read my book?
Oh, no...
Not me, my little sister.
Me too! Me too!
Your sister did? I'm glad.
Please do come to the upcoming show.
I'd like to invite you.
I want to go to one of her lectures too...
That Haruya-kun's sister is your fan...
This must be some kind of fate too!
Sensei.
Won't you leave the investigation to them too?
Ah, you're right.
Shall I?
It's okay for you too, right, Haruya-kun?
So, can you show me an example of the letters?
This is the one that arrived today.
"To bogus education commentator Tomita Reiko,"
"Your way is just brainwashing."
"If you intend to appear in the media any more,"
"I'll commit suicide before your eyes."
That's scary!
Tt's still better to say that they're going to kill you.
Is it just a prank, or are they seriously considering it?
This is hard to see through.
It's the first time I've received a threat so unpleasant.
Even though I've reduced handshake events and television appearances for the new book...
Buds of trouble are best picked early, right?
Is it for your career?
It's for my daughter.
For that child
I have to do it!
Hello!
Thank you.
Here, thank you very much.
She's really popular, huh.
Haruya-kun,
Thank you for taking this on.
It isn't really for that commentator's sake.
Hm?
If someone's seriously wanting to die,
I have to stop that person.
Haruya-kun.
- Thank you very much. - Hello, hello!
Congratulations, sensei.
Well, thank you.
It's amazing, it's a huge success.
Who is that guy?
Dunno...
Looks like he's one of sensei's acquaintances.
To 'Kazu-chan', please.
Kazu-chan.
Are you actually interested in education?
Of course.
As looking up to Tomita-sensei teaching about education turning point
I'm thinking of become a teacher at an all-girls? high school.
I see.
Here!
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Next person, please.
Here.
Okay.
Your name is?
Anonymously please.
Okay.
A first press edition.
I wonder how much it'll sell for~
What are they doing?
Those guys...
Hm?
What's wrong?
Hello.
I'll look after it.
Here you are, thank you very much!
Um...
T-thank you.
Next person, please.
Let go!
Stop it!
No!
- Do something! - Let me go!
Die!
Die, die!
Die!
Die, die!
I'm deeply sorry!
In light of this, another handshake event will be held.
I'd like to request your help,
So that this matter remains private.
That's right!
So call the Director!
It's urgent, urgent! It's about the regulation of the press.
You were at the lecture the other day, weren't you.
Why did you do something like this?
Even if you keep quiet, it'll be soon exposed anyway.
Because, that woman...
Is just full of lies.
What's the reason?
If you want to raise the ideal child,
It's only natural that the parent has a certain degree of influence in deciding their path.
So I asked an acquaintance to help out with a job.
He said not to get involved unnecessarily.
And he started getting angry at anything I said.
"You're the reason I turned out like this"
"I'm asking you, go die!"
And so you cut your wrists.
How old is your son?
32 years old!
What?
An adult?
Right, instead of a useless son, he is to be portrayed as adorable...
Were you the one who sent the threatening letters to Tomita-sensei?
Huh?
You said you'd commit suicide before her, right?
Huh?
I didn't.
What, you didn't?
I don't know about any threatening letters.
This doesn't look familiar?
No.
Why should I have to die because of Tomita Reiko?
As she said.
You helped me a lot today.
Thank you.
No need.
What happened to that person afterwards?
She was taken by the police.
I see.
And her family?
The fact that she came to my talk means she has a child, right?
She has one son.
Just like I thought.
But he's a ripe adult past 30.
That's out of my field of expertise.
It's not your fault, sensei.
You got dragged into someone else's problems.
But that means the investigation's back to square one, isn't it?
I'd like to ask for your help again, to be my bodyguard too.
Mother!
Hm?
Until the suicide threats stop coming,
Isn't it better to reduce your activities?
I can't do that.
Work's finally started going on the right track.
And opportunities for us to appear in the media have increased.
I think there are people who don't look kindly upon us either.
Rika.
You don't need to worry about a thing.
If you do as I say, it'll all go well.
But!
Let me introduce you.
This is my daughter, Rika.
My mother has been under your care.
Well, I think you understand.
Then go to your room.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Excuse my question but, where is your husband?
Ah...
When she was five, he was in a car accident.
I see...
You must have struggled.
Since then I've been desperate not to make her feel at a loss for having only one parent.
It's because someone like you raised her,
That she was able to become such a reliable child.
What do you think the responsibility of a parent is?
Haven't a clue.
It's to guide them to the right path when they're lost.
t's better for the parents to decide their child's future
so even the kids these days will grow up well.
As I thought, I guess it won't work out.
Do you need anything?
I was just thinking this dog was cute.
What's its name?
It's Riki.
How old?
He's almost an old man of 15 years.
My dad gave him to me as a present on my 5th birthday.
I see.
Do you think you'll find the person behind the threatening letters?
Hmm... I wonder.
Do you have any idea, Rika-san?
Any work colleagues, or friends... Anything's fine,
If you know anything, please tell me.
Speaking of which, my mother was dating someone recently.
Huh?
But it looked like he had a wife and kids too.
An affair, huh.
Who was it?
A Toto TV Producer, Kawasaki-san.
Does she still meet him even now?
Yes.
He brought her a bouquet at the handshake event the other day.
- Thank you very much. - Hello, hello!
Congratulations, sensei.
Oh... that man.
Apparently next week he's coming to our house for an information program.
I see.
Ah... Please don't say you heard it from me.
I'm pretending I don't know anything.
I understand.
You're watching your mother closely, aren't you.
Because... I'm a pro daughter.
Pro daughter?
They call an ordinary person girlfriend that goes out with a celebrity a pro girlfriend, right?
Without giving away the existence, the person is supporting from the shadows
until acknowledged by everyone.
Protecting my mother is my mission.
Please become my mother's strength.
Alright.
Isn't that good, Riki.
Maybe he's sleepy.
Haruya and Rika had a pretty good atmosphere, right~
Let me tell you that I am pretty sure it's because of her professional talent.
You were listening?
You're always getting a head start on everyone like that.
I was just talking to her.
Haruya's seems to be into sweet obedient type of girls.
Not really.
Better than a flashy, nosy girl though.
Hey!
What do you mean?
About the education regarding parent and child, teacher and student...
.... please write your opinion.
Okay.
Mum!
Rika! What's wrong?
You see, mum...
If it's about reducing work, we finished that earlier.
That's not it.
Oh, that's right.
Next Friday, there's a dinner with the members of the civil party.
Please come with me too.
Next Friday's...
It's okay, isn't it?
Yes.
The impressions and feelings towards childhood are quite great,
How is it for you, Rika?
I remember feeling very happy the first time I played the piano.
Parents and children share that excitement with each other...
Isn't that enough?
Also, the straw's too short.
- Do it properly. - Ah, sorry.
Yes, thank you.
That's a wrap!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
All that's left is a still for promotional purposes.
Remove the fruit.
- That was great. - Thank you.
You really are exceptional at drawing the words out of your interviewee.
That guy really does seem like a producer.
I'm hungry.
Yum!
You there... you have a good build.
Why don't you try competing in our eating championship?
We're looking for a new star.
Really now?
Let's talk about it in detail. Come this way.
Seriously?
Okay! Thanks for your hard work!
Thank you.
Rika-chan, thank you.
Reiko-san, can I have a moment?
Hey...
Have you reconsidered things with me?
I thought we were done with that talk.
The attack at the handshake event.
If I didn't regulate the media,
How do you think you'd have turned out?
I'm grateful for that.
Then you'll need to take another look at your attitude.
"If you don't let Tomita Reiko resign from the position, I'll commit suicide."
Why...
This arrived at the station this morning.
Oh, don't worry.
I'll stop it myself.
But...
If the higher ups see this,
Your TV appearances are useless.
For other stations too, if this information was to be leaked to them, you have no chance at media appearances.
Are you threatening me?
Not at all.
I want to continue my relationship with you as I have in private and with work in a win-win manner.
Hm?
The ideal parent and child, huh?
As expected of you, Reiko.
If it's for your own career, you'll use anything.
Even your daughter.
You're the one using people, aren't you?
In other words, we're accomplices.
Thus far.
No...
Henceforth, too.
Wasn't the one that supported a novice like you me?
You still need me.
Stop it!
I beg you! Won't you reconsider it one more time?
I can't be without you.
Hey...
I'm telling you, if we continue like this, we both will fall!
I wonder if all producers are like that?
Every suicide threat that has been sent sent so far,
could have been that old man..
Ah, hey...
- Speak of the devil. - No, that's not it.
That's not true!
Listen, it's sudden, but can we meet tonight?
No, just you is fine. Yeah.
Uh, I have something to discuss with you. Yeah.
Yes. Then, see you later.
Could it be sensei...
Let's go.
Haruya, what should we do?
Let's wait and see?
Haruya-kun?
I guess we should go.
If Reiko leaves the program right now, I'm finished!
We can prioritize your program more than other stations.
Could you persuade your mother for me, Rika?
If it continues like this I'm done for as a producer.
Even if you say that, it's troublesome for me!
It is also for you, Rika-chan. OK? I beg you.
Where is Kawasaki?
Let's search outside again.
Ah!
Rika-chan...
Kawasaki-san! Kawasaki-san!
Toshiki, call an ambulance!
- And also the police! - OK!
Haruya-kun, look at this...
Haruya-kun...
Kawasaki-san is unconscious.
The police seem to be treating it as an accident or suicide.
I see...
I wonder what happened with Rika-chan.
Hello?
Asagi-kun, come to our place. Hurry!
Rika!
Come out!
Rika! Come out, now!
Ever since she returned, she has been acting weird.
There was a call from the TV station saying that Kawasaki-san fell down.
As I tried to speak with her she locked herself up...
Rika!
Sensei, a moment...
Eh?
Actually Rika-san and Kawasaki-san had met in person just before.
Eh!?
As I thought, you didn't know.
So, Rika is involved in Kawasaki-san's incident?
We don't know yet.
Also, some samples of the threatening suicide note had been found on the site.
That means it was Kawasaki who had sent that note?
It couldn't be that that person was seriously intending to commit suicide...
What on earth does it mean?
If Kawasaki won't regain consciousness, the truth will remain in darkness.
If the media blows up, I'm done for.
Everything piled up until now will fall down at once.
Oh, I remember this girl well.
She had said that she likes animals more than people.
Is that so.
Animal parents love their offspring for no reward
but human parents only love kids who listen to them well.
I was really surprised to hear her say something like that.
What was she doing here?
She participated in a tour for those hoping to enroll.
Ah, speaking of her, she had forgotten something.
If you are her acquaintance, can you take it for her?
Hello?
Oh, Haruya-kun?
Just a little while ago, Tomita-sensei came to university,
She gave me something to hand over to you, Haruya-kun.
Hand over to me?
This is it.
Money?
How much is there?
One million.
After Kawasaki-san attempted suicide,
She said the threatening letters also stopped coming.
Case closed then?
She called it hush money.
Apparently Tomita-sensei entered an entertainment agency.
At a time like this?
What should we do with this?
Isn't this good?
Let's just gratefully accept it.
Right?
We can't accept this money.
- Huh? - Huh?
Rika-san is still locked up in her room.
Nothing will be resolved like this.
I'll return this money.
I knew you were going to say that.
What brings you here?
I've already given you the promised reward money.
We can't accept this money.
Where's Rika-san?
In her room.
Excuse me.
Hey, hey you!
Hey!
Tell me, how long are you planning on doing this for?
Do you think that Kawasaki-san's accident was your fault?
Why is it Rika's fault?!
What is this?
This is Rika-san's dream.
When you were on the veranda with Riki, I happened to see this pamphlet.
I also visited the school.
I heard that you visited many times.
The receptionist remembered you very well, Rika-san.
You said that animal parents love their offspring freely, regardless of how they are,
but human parents won't love their kids unless they listen to them well.
I also didn't grow up to be a perfect son in my parents eyes.
That's why I sort of understand how you feel.
You disliked running along the rails laid down by your mother,
So I started to wonder...
if there was more to the threatening notes than meets the eye.
What a silly thing to say!
Hey, please leave.
Did you think something like that would make your dreams come true?
With such a thing, you were hoping your mother would notice the real you?
What are you going on about?
The school entrusted me with something that you had forgotten.
Inside there was a invoice for the bouquet which was sent during the time of that lecture.
This is...
The suicide note threat, everything was your doing right?!
Stop...
That night, what did you speak to Kawasaki about?
Weren't you confessing to Kawasaki
that those notes were all your doing?
Stop it.
Rika, it's a lie, right?
You were threatening that, if she used both of you more,
you'd expose the threatening letters to the public,
and crush the image of the ideal parent and child?
Stop it already!!
Rika! Rika!
Is Kawasaki-san still unconscious?
Yeah.
Better yet... I wish he had died.
What are you saying!
Even you mother, you are probably thinking like that right?
If the affair gets exposed, it will affect your career, right?
You probably wish you had given me an order...
... to kill him!
Rika...
Because...
Because I'm at the mercy of my mother.
At the mercy of...
This is all for your sake!
If you listen to me well, you will be happy.
It has been like that until now, right?
Have I ever said something wrong?!
I'm so... so fed up with this!
Hey...
Ouch!
Haruya-kun, are you okay?
Rika-san!
Don't come!
If you come, I will really die!
You've actually always been suffering, right?
You're sick of playing the good girl, right?
Wouldn't it have been better to speak honestly about it?
That blackmail letter was like your SOS call, right?
I thought if I didn't do that, she wouldn't notice.
But that person was unable to see the real me until the end.
Don't be so spoiled!
Isn't it because you kept playing the part of a good daughter...
... that your mother ended up like that?
Rika!
Rika...
Please...
Please, come back down here.
I'll try to find you a much more suitable path...
I'm trying to tell you that's no good!
You have been pushing everything onto your daughter.
Pushing?
You thinking that it's right,
doesn't necessarily mean that it's right for Rika, too!
So, if the child is going down the wrong path,
you are telling me that I should just overlook it with ease?
Isn't it okay to get it wrong?
Isn't it the parents responsibility to accept the mistake with everything they have?!
You should believe in your daughter more!
Rika...
No...
Rika...
It's hopeless now...
Rika...
No...
Rika...
It's hopeless now...
Rika!
Rika-chan!
Hang in there!
Rika, Rika, Rika!
You shouldn't waste your life!
Mother...
Show me.
Thank you.
Ouch!
Sorry...
Sorry, sorry, sorry...
It was delicious. Here, Kaoru-chan.
- Yes~ -Thank you.
Look Toshiki, there's a grain of rice.
Yum!
Really, that old man Kawasaki knows how to cause trouble for people.
He got scared of his wife's phone call,
tripped over his own feet and just fell down.
At any rate, isn't it great that he regained consciousness?
Ah, hello Fuuka?
This is your brother speaking.
You know,
If there are too many lessons, you should just tell mum that...
Eh, you like to do them?
Oh I see.
In that case it's fine.
Cram school after this?
I understand.
Well, bye then.
It wasn't necessary was it, onii-chan?
Hello.
Ah, Rika-chan!
Everyone, I'm sincerely sorry for
causing so much trouble for you.
After I graduate university, I'm not going to find employment,
and I'll go attend the vocational school for trimming.
I just wanted to tell you.
So your mother let you?
Yes.
We fought a lot...
but it finally feels like we're really a parent and child.
That's good.
It's all thanks to you, Haruya-san.
Thank you, Haruya-san.
I didn't... really...
So, if you'll excuse me now.
Bye bye!
Aah, he became shy!
Ahh I see now, trimmer...
Like O'Malley who's a support foreigner, right?
A 'trimmer' refers to a dog's beautician.
Dog?!
Dog helper foreigner...
Speaking of which, you missed the chance to get the 1 million yen reward.
Hehehe, Kaoru-chan...
Do you really think we'd give up so easily?
The glutton monster has caught up!
- Impossible... - Oh, here he slows down.
Toshiki! Go for it!
You'll become a professional glutton, right!
If you win, you'll get 1 million yen! 1 million!
This is tough...
You're so pathetic... Go for it!
- Seconds! - Seconds! - Seconds!
And here are the current top 3 girls!
Amazing! Amazing vigour!
The 1 million yen is ours!
Haruya-kun, wait for us!
I'm fighting for your future, Haruya!
Alrighty!
Wow!
You're kidding me, right?
Toshiki, it's 1 million!
Go, Toshiki, go go!
Don't lose! Fight for it!
You can still eat! Go Toshiki!
