This school has been changing little by little since the arrival of those mysterious transfer students
Students gradually started to trust Mr Sugi
Mr Sugi is probably no longer a scrap teacher
Morning
Um,no,there are times when he's still kind of crappy
I'm sorry! I thought you were someone else
Sir
Kusaka! Morning --Morning
Um,I want to talk to you about something
How pathetic. Especially those teachers at this school
I wonder if it's only teachers' problem
Isn't a school something that consists of both students and teachers
Please don't just give up like this
If you give up the adults,the teachers like this
Then you are sad too
And pathetic
They are coming... Coming... Coming... Coming... Coming
They are here
Good morning
Cheese~ --Morning,Sir
What's wrong,Sir
Ah,nothing
So you want to talk to me
It's gonna be the election of president of the Student Union soon,right
I wonder how it's gonna be this year
Whatever
Whatever happens,nobody would care --Nobody would care
This is just a name... However choose whoever from whichever class
There's no real election at all
Do you really think teachers at this school will bother to do such a thing
Do you really think there are kids who want to become the president at all
What if there are
By the way what are we lining up for
Mr Takasu --Yes. Here you are
Thank you so much
Gifts
Ah,isn't this from the Kusatsuji Hot Springs?
I spent some time with my wife relaxing over the weekend
Wow,maybe we can expect a new life soon
Oh you must be watching us
Thank you very much
So,as I have a meeting to go to in the Educational Committee from the first period
What?
Unfortunately... So I'll leave the rest to you
Ok,take care
So the principal's been in a really good mood recently,huh
He's found a job for next year,right
Ah,so that's why
It seems Mr Sakida's decided too
Yea,thanks to you guys all
Next year I'm gonna be on the board of a cram school
Somehow his personality's changed
Little Miss Taki,I'll give you this. Hot Spring bun from the principal
Thank you very much --Um
Nothing for you,sorry
No,not about the buns
But Mr Sakida is the director of Student Union,right
Well yes
A student in my class wants to run for the president
Who is it
Who? Who? --Kusaka
Ah,I knew it would be him
So,Kusaka's become a candidate
Really
When I talked to the director Mr Sakida
He said they just chose whoever before because nobody ever wanted to run for it
What the heck
Well it's just like before
But they are gonna do it this year
If there's no other candidate then he'll win automatically
And there's no need to pull an election at all
But they are gonna do it this year
Until last year it's always been randomly chosen
But that's not good,right
The reason why I decided to run was that I want to take this opportunity
To ask everyone to think more about this school
Ok,so is there anyone willing to help Kusaka get votes as a recommender?
Sir,I want to name Takasugi as my recommender
Um,if Takasugi's doing it then I'll do it too
Takasugi,let's work hard together
Why the hell --Thank you,Tsuchiya
Um --Kanazawa,do you also want to become a recommender
Nope,I
I mean,I'll run for it too
But if there're two candidates then we have to run an election
Well,I was about to run one even if there's only one candidate
What about you talking about,can you just give me a rest
Managing those flyers and posters,also lending out storage stuff
Anyway it's gotta be a lot of work to do if we make it a real election
Let's just decide it by a rock,paper and scissors game
You can't do that
Kusaka and Kanazawa are both serious
Mr Sakida,wait a moment. If it's too much I'll help too
I really want them to have a chance to do it properly
I see why Kusaka.. but Kanazawa
Kanazawa's that girl who's pretty cute and fashionable
I can't really see her as the kinda person who wants to become president
Hey what did you say
Say that again
I was saying,Kanazawa is totally not that type of person who can be a president
She's definitely losing
So do you mean that you support Kusaka
That's not what I said
I only said that a girl can never be a president of Student Union
How can you say that without really trying
You sound like you are so superior
You think you would win it no matter what,right,Kusaka
Mizuki,don't lose to those like Kusaka
If it's like this,then we have to win it
Let's do our best,Mizuki
How can we lose to stupid guys
Good luck
Mizuki,good luck
Wait
Please lend the girls your power
Please,Irie,Yoshida
Elections are not something that you just go ahead and do it
In order to get votes,you have to know some techniques
Yes
Takasugi,we can't get them win either. Come on,and Kusaka
Takasugi,I'll count on you
First it's visual impressions. It's very important how you look to people
If you want to get votes from those who don't know whom to support yet
No matter girls or guys,you have to make sure that they are impressed
So the sense of tidiness is the point
Accessories that's not for a middle school kid,make-up and reverted uniforms will take points from you
Ok
And then,never forget to smile
Remember that this is the way to create the best expression
Ok
So smile
Try your best,Mizuki
Smile smile
Smile,now --Smile bigger
Bigger
Wow look at that
Sir,what are you doing
Sorry,I mean,you didn't decorate your poster so
I just thought I could help with that
You don't have to do that
This time it's not your job to help
This is an election for the students,by the students
You should be just watching and be fair
Ok,I see
Kanazawa,good luck
And Kusaka also,good luck
Ah it's falling down
It's a bad sign,Sir
Vote for Kanazawa Mizuki in the coming election
Please support Kanazawa Mizuki
Hello everyone,I'm a candidate for the election
Kusaka Shusaburou from Class B Year 2
Today Takasugi and Tsuchiya has come to support
Please support Kusaka Shusaburou
Why the hell
Irie,Yoshida,hurry up
In order to make this school better and better
I am going to try my best
Everyone,please give me your vote
Nobody's gonna listen to a speech like that
Sorry
Your words are too empty
What do you mean by a better school
What are you trying your best doing
You have to have a more detailed speech
Like
Like my dream is to ride the new type of Kyohama Northeast Shinkansen with Takasugi
Right right right,just like this,more detailed-
What are you talking about
Takasugi
Wait,Takasugi
Kanazawa,what are you doing
Nope,nothing
Ah,there you are,Mizuki
So from now on we'll start speaking in front of the front gate
Ok,let's go let's go
There's something --You freaked me out
I didn't know that you were here
There's some story behind --Story
What does that mean
I can't help wondering if Kanazawa
Really wants to become the president
What are you talking about? Of course she does
I can't see her really wanting to do that
Kanazawa Mizuki --Please support Kanazawa Mizuki
Please support her
What's wrong,Mizuki
Ah,nothing
Sorry,everyone,to ask you guys do so much for me
No problem. And it's fun too,right
Yea yea,it's rare that we can have a chance to work so hard together
It feels so refreshing. This is what you call the youth
That sounds awful
I feel like she feels now that it's like this,what should I do
It seems her supporters like Oosaki are more enthusiastic
Ah,so this is Kanazawa.
She's working really hard on it,isn't she
Maybe she will just win it
Mr Sugi,which one are you voting for
They are bo--th my lovely students
I wish both of them good luck
What a boring answer
The election is really getting heated up
Mr Sakida,Kanazawa Mizuki's father just called
And said that he'd like to meet the director Mr Sakida
Me
Maybe there's gonna be more trouble
Just give me a rest
I'll be there to help
So,please give her your help
If she becomes the president,she'll get better evaluation for her profile,right
It'll also help her get into a better high school
Please make my daughter Mizuki the president of Student Union
Even if you ask me I can't really-
Isn't the president just randomly chosen every year
Isn't it good
Just do something and make Kanazawa as the winner
But
After all,it's Mr Sugi's responsibility because he made the two of them become candidates
Um
By the way I heard that after the school closes next year Mr Sakida
Will be on the board of Smile Test Prep Seminar
No no,it's not yet decided
Smile Test Prep Seminar? That's one of my connections
Exactly
Ha,so that's the issue
Sir,if you can make my daughter the president
I'll make sure that you get a job next year
The third and fourth periods on Thursday will be the election speeches
The sixth will be for voting and counting votes
And then next Tuesday on the general body meeting the new president will address everyone
I see
The schedule of the election is ready
Please read through it. Yea. Thanks
Here you are
Yes,please
Especially Mr Sugi --Yea
The two candidates are both from you class
Make sure you read it properly
Ok thank you
Please,here you are
Beee beee busy...
Why is he suddenly so willing to do all these
Finally
Here you are --Oh,thank you
Are all these preparation for the election
Yea I have to do all these by myself
It's so damn.. Thank you though
Sir
What's up,Kanazawa
I wonder if I should quit the election
Why
Sawatari said so too
I'm not that type of person who can do this job at all
Don't say that
Don't just judge yourself this easily
There's nothing you can do
There's no position you can't handle
You guys are still of great possibility
But I
I was so happy
When you said you wanted to run for it
Thanks
Kanazawa
Just be yourself. Do your best
Just be yourself! Do your best
Go,go,Kanazawa
L-O-V-E,Kanazawa
Stop that
L-O-V-E,Kanazawa
So,you were stringing your voice so hard that your throat hurts now
Are you sure it's not a cold or something? Like a fever? Wow it is a fever
Are you ok
You better remain sleeping... well I didn't mean doing that while I'm talking. Wow he falls asleep so fast
He's always using all his energy
He'll get used to it
Get used to it
You see,this dude is always paying attention to nothing but his students
If he gets used to it,he'll pay more attention to something else
He'll know better what to do
What does that mean -What
That means,he has to understand what his fellow teachers are concerned about
I'm so disappointed
I'm so disappointed that Takasu's the one who says all these
Listen,you
This is what it's like when you start working in the real world
Not again,all these old stuff
This is not a school drama
It's not ok if you are just concerned about the kids
You have to think about your colleagues too
This is what you call reality
This dude is not like stupid
He's gonna realize
That you can't live on saying pretty words
Dear Midori,this is too salty
I didn't do it as you please
It's exactly like you've suspected,Takasugi
What the heck is that? Double bottoms. Doing these tiny filthy things
Ok
Um,excuse me,but where's Mr Sugi
He's in the storage room. Helping Mr Sakida
I'm coming,I'm coming
What's up
Hand? (Te)
Two fingers? (Ni)
Ah,two (Tsu)
Out? (Da)
Ah,you wanna help? (Tetsudai)
I'm fine,I can finish it by myself
You can just leave it to me. Please
No,I mean I'll finish it in a second
I said I'm fine,I'm alrigh-ah.
Please forget about it,please
Kanazawa's father is giving me pressure on my job next year
He asked me to make Kanazawa the president
That's why I made all these votes with her name...
Please
If I don't get a job next year I'll be in huge trouble
The money I get after retirement can only cover the mortage
I can't live my second half of life on it
And plus my kid,my kid's still so young
It's gonna cost a lot to raise a kid too
I,I have my own life to think about too
Ok? Just forget about it. Please! Please
Ok? Ok? Please
Are we colleagues?
Please forget about it,please
Mr Sugi,Mr Sugi,please
Thank you so much
Are you throwing it away
Are you destroying the evidence
So you were helping Mr Sakida,Mr Sugi
Poor thing
I'm so sad
In the end adults will sacrifice us for their own personal business
I wonder what we can learn from such adults
You said it yourself,a school is something that consists of both students and teachers
But that's not the case in reality
Mr Sugi,you are wrong
I wonder what happened with Mizuki
She ran away before the speech tomorrow
That's not possible
But why is she absent from school the day before the election
Good morning --Ah,Mr Sugi
I went to the hospital so I'm a bit late today
Are you ok now? The cold?
Well yea
Um,you know what --Oh,so here you are
Listen,and calm down
Kanazawa ran away from home
Her father called early in the morning
I'll go find her
Hey hey,you have anywhere in mind
No
Then you can't just run around and look for her like that
Sit down,come on
Listen,we had a emergency faculty meeting and we've decided that we're gonna wait for news
Those stupid faculty meetin-
Even if it's stupid
You,follow your colleagues and stay here and wait,don't cause any more trouble
And you're sick,too
Ok
How's the election gonna be now that Kanazawa's run away from home
Never mind,I wasn't gonna help her anyway
Mr Sugi found out that I was trying to do something
To help her win the election --Mr Sugi
I was nearly pleading him. I tried so hard so finally managed to shut his mouth down
He's pretty easy to deal with,actually
You really know how to do it,don't you,Mr Sakida
Well I'm not old for nothing
Well,I guess I'll see you later
And I have to start looking for a job again
What do you want
Sir,your wife is German,right
Do you speak German at home
No just Japanese,she speaks broken Japanese though
Sorry but I have to go
Please wait
Darling --Claudia
We wanted to learn German,so we asked your wife to teach us for a bit
How can I refuse requests from such lovely boys
Mrs Sakida
Your husband is trying something illegal
What? Illegal
He has a secret deal with a parent of a student's about the election of president of Student Union
Secret deal?
Is that true?
Yea,he's trading the position of the president for a job after retirement
And when people found out what he's been doing,he lied and cried,pleading for forgiveness
We as students are so shocked
We couldn't believe that a teacher would do such a thing
How do you think of your husband
Shame on you
I'll divorce you. I'll divorce you
Divorce
What did you guys tell her
I'm sorry that this might be a bit in appropriate,but we reported to Ms Claudia about what you have done
Even as a teacher you only love yourself
And your life is more important
But is it ok for you to step on students' hearts just for your own benefit
People like you don't deserve the title of a teacher
Your pronunciation is perfect
Thank you
You loser
Wait,Claudia,please wait
Wait ok? Wait
How pathetic
Sir
Kusaka --Why is Kanazawa absent today
We are waiting for her to contact us too
What happened
Hey,Kusaka
Yea
What if you run away from home
Run away from home?
Don't you think you want Mr Sugi to come to find you
Kanazawa didn't...
We don't know exactly what happened but
I guess she'd like Mr sugi to come look for her
Oh for sure,if Mr Sugi goes to look for her,she must be really glad
Right
Mr Sugi,actually,I know where Kanazawa is
They called and said that she should be on the Otaki Hill near her father's villa
But if I told you that,you must have run out by yourself
not really knowing how to do it
Otaki Hill --Sir
I'll go find her
I'm only a part-time lecture,but if I'm allowed to talk about my own opinion
Comparing to agreeing with other teachers and following their steps
And being concerned about their feelings
Paying more attention to students' feelings
Is what
Is what I call Sugi Toranosuke
Miss Taki
Go now
I'm going
Kusaka,I'll bring Kanazawa back for the election tomorrow,so you
I'll fight fairly
Wait for me --I'll wait for you
Kanazawa
Kanazawa where are you
Kana-
Bear
It's so scary,it's so scary,it's so scary
I can't
No
Sea monkeys!
No,this is up on a hill... Hill Monkeys
He's come! Takasugi
Campaign Speeches for Presidential Election of the Student Union in 2008 starts now
So she's not here yet,Mizuki
At first let's introduce the recommender of candidate Kusaka Shusaburo in Class B Year 2
Tsuchiya Daifu --Yes
Kusaka,if you pay close attention,is as cool as a new type of shinkansen train that comes out in November
So she's not here yet,Kanazawa
And what the heck is Sugi doing? And Mr Sakida
Mr Sakida's got an interview for a new job so he's absent
What? How can he
Sorry,I always
Please don't try to talk me in --Fine
You really people to take care of you
You came to look for Kanazawa but got into trouble yourself,it's not even funny
Ah,Kanazawa! How is Kanazawa
We found her already
Kanazawa
Sir
I was so worried
Are you alright? Are you hurt or anything
Sir,you look like you are worn out
But I'm so relieved that you are alright
Sorry
So what happened? Weren't you working hard for the election
But I was not fighting fairly
Ah,that thing about Mr Sakida
If dad does those things to him,I shouldn't be running for it
That's not the only reason
That's not the only reason why Kanazawa's run away
There's something else
What do you mean
I --Wait
If you are gonna tell,then tell it to all those who campaigned for you for the election
Right! The election
We don't have much time.. Takasugi! The Anywhere Door
Are you kidding me --I knew this was gonna happen
What should I do,Kusaka's waiting,everyone's waiting
What should I do,what should I do
Please lend me your cellphone
I recommend Kanazawa Mizuki as the next president
Although you might not be able to tell that from her look
In fact she's caring about others more than anyone else does
Where are you now
Oh,it's Takasugi
You want Irie on the phone
I want a remote access to the school's server so I want you to help me find the IP address
IP address? That's an easy job
If you know the Subnet Mask then it helps too
Password... (Principal is a moron)
Bingo,such an easy job
Everyone,please vote for Kanazawa Mizuki
Thank you,Hinagawa Manami,the recommender
Next it's candidate Kanazawa Mizuki from Class B Year 2 But
Thank you so much
Great
What the heck
Ouch! What
So now I'll transfer your speech to No.8 High School via internet
How did you
Well if you are asking about technology stuff
It's ok,I won't understand it anyway
So now,let's do it
That's it
Kanazawa
Mizuki --Isn’t' that Mizuki
Why
That guy that's in the back of the picture
Sir
Sir,you are in the way
Sorry,sorry
Just be yourself
Just be yourself,try your best
This is Kanazawa from Class B Year 2
Everybody,I'm so sorry
My parents has been trying to bride me into this position
And what's more,actually in the very beginning,I didn't want to run for it at all
I only signed up because my parents wanted me to,for the sake of my profile
Of course after a while I'm really trying to win
But,but,I really thought I had to tell everyone that I didn't want to run at the beginning
Even though I thought so,though,I ran away. I apologize for that
I'm really sorry about it
It ran out of battery. Give me your cell again
Kanazawa
Yes
I see
Here you are,it's from Takasugi
Thanks
That dude --Sir
Sir
The fact that Kanazawa was not signing up out of a real motive
And that her father is trying to interfere with the result in illegal ways
I'll apologize too as the class advisor
I am really sorry
Those of you who tried so hard to campaign for her,I'm really sorry
Come on
Everyone who's been supporting and encouraging such a girl like me
I'm sorry
I'm really,really sorry
Sorry
Everyone,I'm really sorry
That's all
That's all for Kanazawa Mizuki's campaign speech
I'm sorry
You said it well,in front of everyone
You've tried your best --Sir
Thanks,Takasugi
Sorry,Takasugi
Honestly,I was really shocked by the speech of Kanazawa's
I was trying to win this election fairly,but they were trying all those filthy stuff
They are just like some of those bad politicians
However,politicians nowhere would apologize like that
They wouldn't be so honest to admit that a bad thing is bad
We won't find it out if she doesn’t tell me
But she told us honestly,apologizing again and again
Apologizing from her heart
I think highly of Kanazawa because of that
And if I can vote,I'll vote for her
I think now she can handle this job pretty well
So If I can vote,I'll give my vote to the honest tears and courage of Kanazawa
Well said
That's all. Kusaka
Kanazawa
Kusaka --It's kusaka
Kanazawa
Kusaka --Kusaka
Kanazawa --Kanazawa
Mizuki
You made it,right,Mizuki
Congratulations
You are now the president! --What
Kanazawa
You made it! Mizuki
Takasugi
I,lost the election
But I don't regret it
What a great soul
Where can I find another idiot that votes for his rival
But Kanazawa's really gonna be a great president
Thanks for all that you've done
I don't like hot-blooded idiots
Thanks
Takasugi,you are really not honest
What do you mean --Nope nothing
Takasugi,you've been really insufficient
Well,you know what,I've decided to ride the Kyohama Northeast Line with-
Ah,yea,your dream is to ride that with me
I guess then I have to help-
With Tamiya instead. Bye
