Kamahara Kiko
What does it mean, a waiting list of 257?
In this ward, 257 children are currently waiting for free day care
Sumikawa District Office
Nursing Department Employee
Including your child
How can it be that way?
So that's what? Roughly 8672 waiting in all Tokyo?
Kamahara Haruto
You've been talking about this list but why isn't it reducing?
It's as you say
Who can give birth to a child with nowhere to leave them?
I'm a single mother. What should I do?
Call the people listed above. The people listed above?
Ah, call them to say...
I need it now! I need it now! Please!
Well, we aim to have no one on the waiting list by the end of 2017
2 years from now he'll be in his second year of school!
Oh, thank you. Thank you
Here you go! Why, thank you
Nursery school is absolutely hopeless
I'm on my way back now
Let me see your nose
Excuse me-- Yes?
It's abrupt, but why not enroll your son in kindergarten at Shizuku Preschool?
Huh? I'm sorry.
I overheard your conversation in there
I'm the director of that school
Naraoka Fumi
To put it simply, it's a rustic and carefree preschool
Like it? Yes
Thank you, but kindergarten ends at noon?
I'm starting a bento shop so it's no good if it's not a daycare
This school also has extended hours
For real?
One Month Later
Haruto, kindergarten! Kindergarten!
I'm going now, Dad
Quickly
I'm going!
I'm a hero. Pow!
As expected, you didn't get a uniform in time
Have your helmet, Haruto?
Wearing it
Great! Let's ride Here
Father in heaven
We moved in with Grandpa
Kanbara Tetsuji
Starting today, I won't be in daycare but in kindergarten!
♬～When I become a first grader Kindergartner!
I'll be a kindergartner at preschool
♬～With a 100 friends, I'd like to eat
♬～Onigiri on Mt. Fuji
I'm sorry, Haruto. Are you OK? I'm fine, I'm fine
Are you alright? We're OK. I'm sorry.
I just bought this car
It's a good job your car didn't get damaged
I'm sorry
It's inexcusable of me No, I'm sorry
The child in the car is wearing my school's uniform
No way! No one goes to kindergarten in such cars and dressed like that!
Everyone has such clothes and cars...

How do you do?*
*Everyone is speaking in the most polite form of Japanese (keigo) which here shows they are a high class group of people and also alienates our protagonist.
It's been a long time*
Huh I wonder why everyone is all dressed up?
I don't know. This is awkward
Greetings, everyone. You may now please enter the hall.
Naraoka Nobunosuke
Good to see you
Please mind your honorable step Please go ahead
Hon...honorable step?
This is sure an interesting school Good morning
Yuki? Yuki!
Sakurako Excuse me
Yuki?
Wait a minute...Wait
Huh, why is Yuki being evasive?
What are you doing here?
My child's enrolled as a kindergartner
I'm Kamahara Haruto Kindergarten?
Kamiya Yuki
Because it was decided at the last minute, I couldn't get the uniform in time
It's great you're here too
Kamiya Sakurako
Kiko, did you marry a millionaire when I wasn't looking?
No way How could he enroll as a kindergartner?
Kindergartners can't get into this school
Is that so? I met the school director by chance at the ward office, and she invited us to join.
Did you really come here without knowing anything?
Such as? Shizuka is a prestigious school
Most of the children will attend college It's a school famous among socialite mothers
Entry for 1st years is restricted to 30 seats It's not a place for commoners
You're also a commoner
Now you are climbing the celebrities' stairs
I thought it was strange that teacher was so overly polite
Why is everyone dressed in navy blue suits, like a school uniform?
There are unspoken rules Unspoken rules?
Just like with men, women's society is vertical
You won't survive if you don't follow the rules
Pretty sure I'll survive kindergarten
Regardless, you and I are complete strangers here
Say what?
Do not feel free to talk to me Do not come within a 1 meter radius of me
We started school together Went to Sumikawakita High
In the software department we were legendary
If anyone finds out we were friends my 2 years here is wasted
As ever, you exaggerate
You know nothing
If you antagonize those 3 people at this school, you will fall to hell
Hell?!
The first person is Gotou Rika-chan's mama.
Gotou Midori
Estimated yearly income is 18 million yen. 18 million!
Gotou Rika
33 years old. Her husband's a hot shot with a major advertising agency
She was a career woman who worked at the same firm as him
The second person is Yano Satoko. 37 years old
Estimated yearly income 30 million yen 30 million!
Yano Satoko
Her son Yuuki isn't the only one
She has 2 older daughters, so she's a veteran of this school
Yano Yuuki
She's married into the celebrity hospital in Shirokane, Yano Clinic
Her husband's family is super prestigious
A graduate of Seiou University Super elite
When I spoke with her earlier I thought she was good-natured
She seems nice but it's the end if she hates you
Yamikawa Mamiko!
Liar! Why did you say she tried to get into Meishin Girls School?
Your family lost face because your child took the exam
Ow! What!
Lie! She's beating her with her purse Why's this happening?
Her daughter failed her exam
You here and this...
Whoa! what are you doing? Idiot
Calm down a moment
Be quiet, outsider!
Who is she?
Please stop! Ow! Mom!
Please calm yourselves Let go!
I don't know what's happened but don't do this in front of the children
Marie This person falsely accused me
Even if that's the case, How do you think this looks to the children?
Have a good day, ma,am
That's the 3rd person
Within this preschool, she's the absolute top
Odadera Marie
44 years old
The daughter of the heir to the Odadera real estate dynasty
Annual income 500 million 500 million!?
Furthermore, her uncle is a leading member of the ruling party in the Diet
Her husband's adopted into the family. He's president of Odadera Hotel & Restaurant Group
Odadera Makoto
Her son Shin also excels
Altogether a splendid family
Keep this between us As for Marie, pretend that you don't recognize her
Rumor has it that she can get the director to expel anyone she doesn't like
It's fatal to meet her eyes That's also an unspoken rule
Where is that rustic and carefree environment?
Right then! Let's go, Haruto OK
Pardon me
Dad in Heaven
I've come to
an amazing place

Greetings, everyone Greetings
Honored guardians, children today face a remarkably changing environment
Shizuku Pre-School
Honored guardians, children today face a remarkably changing environment
These are extremely difficult times in which to raise children
However, raising children is a brief irreplaceable bit of time.
Teachers at this preschool
are blessed to join with you in raising your precious children
Well then, on to the information
Kindly prepare to take notes
Item: We appreciate your understanding
that the faculty and staff are unable to accept gifts
Item: We appreciate your understanding that unlawful entertainment on your behalf
could harm the school's reputation. Reputation?
Item: Birthday parties and the like are prohibited
Regarding New Year's and Christmas parties
We appreciate your understanding that presents should not be exchanged
Umm...
Please speak.
I'm Kamahara Haruto's mom. He just entered the kindergarten class today.
(mumbling)
What's the harm in a child voluntarily giving a present to a friend?
Why is it forbidden?
I will explain that.
Mrs. Kamahara, I'm sure you will agree
but children are very sensitive.
If a friend is invited to a birthday party but your child is not,
how do you think the child will feel?
Probably a little lonely-
Exactly. And that is the reason why-
You might think it's overprotective but
In general, the objective is to protect the children's spirits
I beg of you to keep these rules in mind.
Special enrollment?
It seems the director personally chose to admit her son to this kindergarten
I wonder if there is some influential connection
It's definitely because of the child's potential
Usagi Class
I'm sorry
Mrs. Kamahara, over here please
Huh. Oh, OK
Excuse me
Park
Sports Party
Bazaar
English
Eurhythmics
Well then, let's start with the volunteer duties
Um, uh
Excuse me
How are English and eurhythmics conducted?
They are extracurricular activities for the children
taught by professionals
5 year old children study English?
It is usually on the elementary school entrance exams that they take.
I'm surprised that little kindergarteners take such examinations
I'm sorry. It's just something I'm not used to
I'm sure you will get used to it soon
As a volunteer, you will come to the school the 3rd day of each week.
That often? As a matter of course
Is there something wrong?
Well
I'm really very sorry but
Can I be exempted from this duty?
Because I just opened a shop, I have no time to spare
If there's something that can be done from home, I'm willing to do that
Please
Why don't you discuss this with your husband?
I'm a single mother
I have a bento shop on Sumikawa Street called Gohanya...
Oh, right! If you don't mind... Everyone, please come
There's a 50 yen coupon to celebrate the grand opening!
Mrs. Kamahara, please refrain from advertising at the school
I'm sorry. Then, I'll just leave these here
I think it is unnecessary for Mrs. Kamahara to overdo things
Thank you
But for the lunch meeting
I think it would be better if you attend
My thinking too
Lunch meeting?
Such as catering or bringing something simple to eat
for lunch while we create a deepen friendship between ourselves.
This time next Monday...
But... weekday lunch time is...
Mrs. Kamahara
I'm really sorry for this morning Oh, no need.
My name is Yano Satoko
You have a business card
You can call me Satoko
And may I call you Kiko?
Yes! From now on, please teach me various things.
I think that even though you are busy with work
It will be a mistake to miss the initial lunch meeting
Not only for you, but for Haruto's acceptance in class
So, by all means, come
So it's that kind of thing? I'll find a way
What should I bring as my dish for the party?
Your child's favorite foods is the theme
What's Haruto's favorite food?
And then there's the question of where you sit
The seat next to Marie seems empty but I wonder what the unspoken rule is
Again with the unspoken rules
I agree that it's silly
But it's best to respect the rules everyone else is concerned about
Thank you OK
I'm glad I've been able to make friends with you
Do you like cheese？ I like cheese.
You OK? You OK?
Thanks Let's go
Mrs. Kamahara Director
Yes, here's a school uniform
It belonged to a graduate
That's great! Thank you
What do you think of opening day?
You went to a lot of trouble to enroll us but I kind of stick out
It's fine, it's fine For both you and Haruto
But I seem to be alone as a single mother
I'm also a single mother
Really? The director?
Haruto's teacher is my son
Oh... Originally, parenting was not just a mom's job
It was supported by everyone around
As for you and the other mothers, once you have a relationship of trust
you'll be just fine
Just like Haruto. It seems he's already made friends
I'll do my best
Mother!
Who's that? Making a scene
Seems she's a single mother
Or so we learned from the "examination"
Welcome
It's a healthy meal Thank you as ever
Deli Kitchen Gohanya*
* Gohanya literally translates to Rice Shop.
New Open!! Deli Kichen Gohanya
Hey What gives?
I'm serving customers made of air. Even though it's noon, I'm not busy!
Hanpen
Do you think you can handle the shop alone at lunchtime next Monday?
Serving customers is impossible. If a lot come, I will get confused
I hear waiting on customers is bad It's a serious affair
I'll leave the Salmon prep to you
Kashiwagi Kunpei
Kun is thoroughly negative
Is it unreasonable?
Welcome!
Are you a part-timer here? I'm the owner.
Yesterday, I bought a bento from here and ate it
It was delicious The hijiki* was particularly good
*sea vegetable
Thank you
With 7 side dishes and 30 items plus high quality...
I feel that it's good but 800 yen is too high
But when you consider our quality...
I'm confident that this shop won't be here next year
What? It's too bad because it's so good. Goodbye
He came here just to say that?
As for his pocket handkerchief, I know where he can put it
I'm home Welcome home
Welcome home, Grandpa
Hello, Haruto. I'm back.
How'd it go? Did you make friends in kindergarten?
Yep! Makoto, Rinko, Sakurako, and Yuuki
OK, eat OK
That's great
Grandpa, after you talk to the doctor on Thursday
I want to go play Well...
Oh, today I drew Makoto's face
Haruto, you're not supposed to get up while eating
I'll come right back!
Oof Grandpa
Hmm? At noon next Monday
There's a meeting of the mother friends Should I go?
Is everyone participating? Yeah
Then you ought to go
I'll tend the store on Monday
Thank you, Grandpa
This is Makoto
Oh, it's very good
Makoto's a pretty good-looking guy
Yep. Kindergarten, kindergarten
Look, finish eating quickly. The fish, too.
It must have been fun
Hey, Haruto What's your favorite food?
Hijiki!
*Brown sea vegetable
The brown sea vegetable was particularly good
Mother's cooking is best in the world
Thanks
(phone rings)
Yes, what's up? Hooray! I'm going right away, yes
A bento order just came in!!
Thanks for the delicious food Yes
I have to get everything prepared, ready, and close the shop
So today, take your bath with Grandpa and go to bed early
Okay
See you later
I'm off
Yes, take care See you!
Shizuku Pre-School
Why were they allowed to enroll into this kindergarten?
Are you meaning Kamahara Haruto?
I never heard previously of an admittance at kindergarten age
Mrs. Odadera, I am thinking only of the children
As for the reasons to admit a child here,
I do not believe I am obligated to disclose that
I wonder if this world might be too different
for that one
Excuse me Thank you
May you have a safe trip home
Director, that interaction with Mrs. Odadera was bad
As manager, what I said was reasonable
How long do you think she been donating here?
To what extent will you allow questionable people to enroll in this school?
I object
Practical management should understand that wealthy people
send their children here in order to enter famous preparatory schools
Management should be more understanding-
It's because I understand that I want change
I also feel sorry for the Kamahara's. They're definitely have a hard time here
Or... Are you playing chess with them?
Yes I am.
Did you know that
instead of calling each other "So-and-so's mom"
they call each other by their given names?
Yes, I want them to change This place and them...
Kindergarten bag, hallway slippers bag, hand towel
cup carrier, lunch bag
There's so many it may be impossible to do by tomorrow!
(phone rings)
Hello! This is Gohanya Deli
Um, who is this?
How do you know this number?
Obstinate...Don't mess with me Don't ever bother me again!
Good morning Good morning
Here you go
Thanks
Sleepy? Are you OK?
Completely OK
Well, then, have a good day See you later
Good morning
Leave Shizuku Pre-School
It's happened... The type of bullying that appeared in girls manga in the 80s.
Oh nice. Is it a new bag?
It is
Leave
Excuse me. Is it possible to give these to employees?
We really can't...
How about if you try one first?
Yum!
It's lotus root and miso paste
I diced the lotus root and mixed it with miso paste for the filling
I liked it. In exchange for the freebie, let's distribute these. That OK?
Yes Thank you!
Are you the trainer? That's right
Meet the Trainers
Not just reducing belly fat
Oh, there's English and eurhythmics?
Oh, it's for customers preparing for elementary school exams
There's even exams given here? Ah! Mr. Isoyama?
Isoyama Takumi Soccer
Yes, Isoyama Takumi Cool!You were a J-Leaguer?
Past glories
As expected, Coach Takumi is a great teacher
Our child comes to soccer every week
just for the pleasure of it
The children aren't the only ones
Rika Rika
Are you OK? I'm sorry
My pleasure
Rika Why are you so angry?
Lowering prices is impossible
Mom, the hijiki*! Ahh
*sea vegetables
Ahh
Hey, Haruto, what are you drawing?
Secret It's for kindergarten tomorrow
Eh? Show me a little bit
No way! I see. Want a taste?
Aaaah! I put in celery and crispy plum
It's special hijiki
If you want to get friends
You can serve delicious food and catch them by the stomach
This sounds like something from Grandpa
Make friends with everyone
Yes, I'll do my best
Oh, look at the time! Toothbrushing! Come on, come, come, come!
Here's fine
Oh, Mrs. Odadera
I've no idea where it is
Very near
My son seems to be along very well with Makoto
Thank you
Why did you open a bento shop?
I used to work in a hotel kitchen but
I decided to move in with my grandfather to open a bento shop
I started the shop after thinking it would allow
more time for me and Haruto to spend together
It's happiness right, the time spent with your child.
Oh, I'm sorry,
I'm only talking about myself.
We're here
It's here?!
Midori-san roast beef looks delicious.
Marie-san, today it's Nihonbashi's tentsuna.
You are here.
(Chef) Let me get started.
(Marie) Please.
Kiko-san, I wonder what was kindly brought here.
Well erm…
Anything is fine. Don't be shy.
Is that so? Well then.
(Mamiko) Oh hijiki?
It seems healthy right
Ahaha… But everyone would not eat this kind of food right.
(Kayo) Dishes that are good for the body is welcome.
And so everyone,
For this year's Usagi Class, please take care of me.
(Together) Please take care of me.
(claps)
(Kayo) Last week's 'Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg' was good.
I also like 'Tannhäuser'. What about Marie-san?
Wagner is too heavy for me.
I'm so jealous. Marie-san has listened to
the most prestigious performances of the world.
Opera is good for early childhood education,
it should be introduced to them right.
Gotou-san What?
That roast beef is handmade by Goto-san right?
Yes It was very delicious
especially that sauce was a masterpiece. Could you tell me how to make it?
I'm sorry but its a secret recipe.
I am good at getting it right.
I feel that there is fig in the sauce…
I bought it. Eh?
Here, everyone is wearing a mask.
Only on the surface, we're maintaining our relationship.
It's the same as business.
Everyone is trying to fit with Marie-san but,
whether they really understood the meaning of the conversation, is doubtful.
But, Haruto is also happily attending kindergarten.
Me too, for me to be recognised by everyone, I'll work hard.
Even if you worked hard, nobody would recognise you, of course including me.
Ah that, the fact I bought it at a departmental store basement is a secret, ok.
I wonder why the Director enrolled that person in.
The preparation of the exams is an important time, that's why she is a little uneasy.
(Midori) Kamahara-san? The Director
I wonder what does she have in mind.
(Mamiko) It's bad that we can't accept it right.
I think its natural to have a lot of different people, but thinking of the children…
(Kayo) That's right, and even though there are lots of exams, her attitude towards it all
is too lax, it's upsetting.
Disturbing the children's pace,
if she interferes during the admissions, the damage can't be undone.
(Mamiko) It's hard to accept right
(laughs together)
Kamahara-san sure is an airhead right.
Oh Yuki-san, don't you get along with Kamahara-san?
Impossible! I don't even know what should I speak with her about.
Marie-san, what do you think?
I do not care at all.
By any chance, if she really gives a bad influence to the children,
then I think that it is necessary to deal with.
This smell…
No way, I wonder what is she doing.

Please eat.
It is rice with butter and soy sauce.
Butter-soy sauce-rice…
Because I brought the hijiki,
I felt that I should at least let everyone have some warm food.
This dish is a substitute as my business card.
It is my son's favourite food.
Everyone, dig in.
Yum it's delicious.
Everyone dig in too.
Yum
It's a taste I have never tasted before.
I
do not understand difficult stories and
I may not be suitable for Shizuku Pre-School.
The fact that I'm a single mother
To everyone, sorry for the inconvenience.
But,
both Haruto and I,
want to get along with everyone.
In the future too, please take care of me.
Kiko-san, I'm sorry that my remarks were bad.
No, that was not Satoko-san fault.
Thank you very much for today.
Do not look down on the poor
Homerun!
Alright~ Come!
Don't look down on a single mother!
Ey ey…
Ouch,ouch It came to the waist, the waist.
I'm sorry I am not accustomed to tendering the store.
No no It's fine it's fine.
Ok Thank you for waiting.
Didn't you eat this during the day?
Yano Masateru
The special hijiki was too popular that I didn't eat it at all so I made it again.
Did you grasp everyone's stomach?
Yes Hooray~
Now let's eat. Ok itadakimasu.
Itadakimasu Itadakimasu
Alright
Un? Special hijiki huh?
Delicious
It's delicious Today's hijiki is exceptionally good.
Yum~
Um Un?
Ok Grandpa also likes roll cabbage.
I want to eat it too Will you?
Hey Haruto, is preschool fun?
Yes very fun.
I see, ok.
Ok, the next is this
Grandpa too, this.
How is it? Delicious
It's delicious
Alright Un…
What about bamboo shoots?
I'll eat it. Delicious
You will eat bamboo shoots? I'll take it.
It's delicious. I will leave it here ok.
Bamboo shoots are delicious
Yano
It's hot right?
Yano Shizuko
(Satoko)I'm sorry
Recently your body is not in contact with the violin right Yuki.
(Yuki) Grandmother I'm sorry.
He became a senior, and is also busy with his studies…
You, shut up please
Yuki understands what I am trying to say right
It's not only your studies
Sports, arts and music too,
by being first in everything, we will become people that are respected by others
Just like your father.
If Satoko-san DNA is more superior,
It would be easier for Yuki too.
I pity him.
(Shizuko) Well, you who lived in the countryside of Nagano,
running around the fields and hills,
becoming a nurse right after graduating from high school,
might not understand the importance of a sensible education.
It's cold, Satoko-san.
Which degree should I set it to?
Think about that much yourself!
Yano Masateru
(Operating the remote control)
I'm sorry.
(Satoko) Thank you for making the tea.
(Shizuko) How is the tea?
It's just right
We're "Gohanya", we have just open recently, please
We're "Gohanya" please~
Ah, you are not pleased with our food right.
I'm only not pleased with the price.
The taste is close to perfection Eh?
You are good with your arms but, you are a failure as a manager.
If it's me, I would make that bento 500yen.
That's impossible.
If you can make a one coin bento, then I will eat it.
What's with that, looking down on me. What are you I'm a customer.
Cooking with that imitating voice and ugly face Ugly face?
The ingredients would rot in a moment. It's a shame that it matched with a good arm.
What's with him?
What's with him??
Hanpen
What's with him!!
You know what, this time Haruto-kun drawing would be the representative of the kindergarten
and will be displayed in the ward's resident exhibition.
Eh? Haruto, isn't that great! Yes
I think Haruto-kun drawing has a force that attracts people to it.
Thank you very much. Yes, well then...
Alright Haruto, let's tidy up.
TALK A new message in the group 'Usagi Class'.
(Message arrives)
Goodbye (Shinnosuke) Goodbye
100 yen goods
Useless, it's not enough at all.
(Kyoji) I'm home~
Don't speak in such a loud voice. Did you drink again?
Because I'm a civil servant, if you don't suck up to your boss,
Kamiya Kyouji
you won't be promoted right~
I'm here trying to even save 1yen.
Then isn't it better to stop Sakurako's ballet and piano.
What would other people think…
Ouch ouchouchouch… It hurts.
She'll wake up so stop it you idiot.
(Message)
(More messages)
Tonight is Azabu's Italian, I'm at Ustiny (* ^^)v Trying not to drink too much *laughs*
What even is Ustiiny, are you dumb?
I'm at Ustiny
Gotou Shuuhei
(Midori) What about your meal?
I ate.
(Sounds)
(Incoming mail from phone)
Who is it?
(Shuhei) Let me see it. Why?
You are living with my money,
are you not going to do as you're told?
Its mails from the moms of the Usagi class.
I'm taking a bath.
What's wrong with you.
What's wrong Yuki? It's late.
Leave this city
Food tastes bad
Quit
This shop is unhygienic. I will never buy from here!
What is this
Don't sell a bentou with no taste!
Since when did this…
Kiko, quickly find a daycare center and stop this.
You're saying such a thing too Yuki.
That preschool is of another world, even if you worked so hard outside, it will not have any significance.
Putting priority and everything on the children,
they think of single mothers as having a failed marriage and was left behind with the child.
There is no one supporting you at all.
A person who does not have money nor status, nobody would listen to you.
Why is Yuki clinging on that place?
Because I have... nowhere but there.
When Sakurako passes her exams,
Everyone around will say
"That's awesome, you've worked hard".
Kiko went to whack and hit the unreasonable guys.
But, to prevent the children from taken away as hostages, I cannot hit him back.
That's why parents have no choice but to endure.
But I, being put down by everyone,
I endured it, and didn't want to see you.
Even so, it's because
I'm your friend.
Yuki,
did something happen to you?
Do you still have preparations left?
Today was busy.
I'm sorry. I thought I was finally independent,
but I took someone's child and came back.
What are you talking about.
A little before coming here.
Haruto suddenly
used magic markers and drew lines on his face.
I got mad and yelled "What are you doing!"
He said: "Mom, looked at my face."
and laughed.
I was so busy, that I did not look at Haruto's face at all.
When I was working in a hotel,
I woke him up, fed him and changed his clothes.
Sent him to the daycare and fetched him back.
At night, I left him at a night nursery school.
I could only see Haruto's sleeping face.
I became unclear of the purpose of working.
I have only made Haruto wait.
You could have came back much earlier.
But the marriage, both grandpa and grandma were opposed to it.
Did you care about such a thing?
I was going to bring up Haruto alone, my resolution was decided.
To depend on someone's kindness or to whine,
I thought of it as a defeat.
Winning or losing
Not showing your heart to people
isn't lonely, isn't it?
Both trees and people, would break if it pushes itself too unreasonably.
My grandchild, brought a great-grandson back with her,
There's no other happiness like this.
Haruto does not have a dad right,
that's why I work harder,
For Haruto, both discomfort,
and loneliness, if it's possible, I do not want him to experience it.
Yup.
Kamiya-san, you're early.
No… Excuse me.
The pictures submitted to the exhibition, are put up today.
I want to see it, I want to see it. What is it? It's 'My Treasure'
Eh~ What, what treasure?
Look forward to seeing it.
Isn't it fine? Tell me about it.
My Treasure
My drawing is not there.
Class Usagi/Rabbit My Treasure
Maybe the teacher forgot to put it up.
Good Morning (Everyone) Good Morning.
Class Usagi/Rabbit My Treasure
Teacher Yes
Erm, Haruto's drawing is not put up.
That's not possible. Last night... Eh?
Sensei, do you have a minute?
Interview Room
Was there that much harrassment?
I can't think of anything else but,
if the drawing is stolen, perhaps…
The harassment directed towards me, I can put up with it.
But, if my child's drawing has been stolen…
Please refrain from using such words like "stolen". It might be me forgetting to put it up.
Do you happen to know of it?
Excuse me
If there is anything you know, please tell me.
I do not know anything.
I will go and ask the moms.
Please calm down. Such behaviour of Kamahara-san, would disturb the order of the kindergarten.
Leave it to us after this. Anymore troubles would...
I can't!
Kamahara-san
Rika, what did you draw?
Usagi Class My Treasure
(Rika) Cute flowers and
cute butterflies and…
Excuse me does someone know about my child's drawing?
Kamahara-san please wait, perhaps it is my mistake.
Please, please tell me.
My child drew that picture with utmost effort.
(Sakurako) Good Morning.
Yuki
Do you know about Haruto's drawing?
I don't know, what is it about?
Haruto's drawing has disappeared.
I do not know anything.
Lies, you know about it right.
I told you I do not know right.
Mamiko-san? I don't know.
Midori-san? I don't know.
Marie-san? That person, I haven't even heard from her.
I'm sure Yuki-kun's will be selected from he work displayed for the ward residents exhibition.
That would be 2 years consecutively right. We still don't know.
(Mamiko) Everyone's been saying, Yuki-kun would be selected.
Ah, Yuki-san.
Good Morning.
Kiko-san, Good Morning.
Unexpectedly, is it Satoko-san?
I told you I don't know.
Yuki, since the past when you lie,
you would tuck your hair behind your ears.
Why?... Kiko you are naive.
Approaching them, behaving like they're kind, it's just all a facade.
For the mothers in this preschool, it's a piece of cake.
Without dirtying their own hands.
"Everyone, did you know. Kamahara Haruto's work have been selected to be displayed at the ward resident's exhibition Really? Why? This time Yuki's strength isn't enough, it's a pity. Such ridiculousness, cannot be forgiven right Yuki-san?"
Yuki-san? Yuki-san? I want to hear Yuki's opinion. Yuki-san, what do you think?
(Satoko) "If you are defeated Yuki,
you might be saying you do not want to go to the kindergarten."
They want to chase out the people who don't match them!
Satoko-san
(Makoto) Good Morning
Good Morning
Let's go see the drawings.
Haruto's drawing has disappeared.
Huh?
Satoko-san, please tell me.
Where is Haruto's drawing?
How would I know?
The drawing that has disappeared, I just learnt about it now.
I do not want to say such a thing but, Haruto's drawing disappearance is your...
Such false accusation is rude to Satoko-san
It's not a false accusation.
You
Do you know what you just said?
Suspecting someone without any evidence.
The other harrassments, was it Satoko-san too?
I have no idea what you are trying to say at all.
The one who stole Haruto-kun drawing
was me.
The others too, I did it all.
The harrassment too, I did it all.
You are not the only one right?
Is it fine like this? Doing things as you are told.
The culprit is only me.
After Kamahara-san came, the atmosphere became weird.
It's also an important time for the preparation of the exams.
I thought, it would be best to put an end to it.
Kamahara-san
I'm sorry.
Mom
(Haruto) It's my treasure
(Satoko to other mothers) Shall we go?
Why did you take the blame by yourself, do you think I'm fine with it?
Kamahara-san, isn't it enough? Shinnosuke-sensei too, what's with you.
A teacher's job is it to protect the children!
It's not to suck up to the mothers while hiding from troubles.
(Satoko) It's rude to speak to the teacher in such a manner.
(Mamiko) As I thought, a daycare would be better for you.
If you want to drive me out so badly, I will search for a daycare.
Always doing so, whispering and sneaking in the shadows.
If there is anything you would like to say, please say it to me directly.
I, in both money and academic background, status and honour too,
I do not have anything to be proud of.
But,
For Haruto, I can do anything.
Well, I cannot do anything without money
Honestly everyday, I'm worrying about small things like 10yen and 1yen.
But, if being rich means becoming a cowardly, dirty, rich celebrity facade
I do not need money!
I will say this clearly
The things that you people are doing, is of elementary school level.
If you want to drive me out, do things openly and aboveboard
Please tell me directly
Please!
If next time
If anybody makes Haruto upset,
I will definitely not let you off.
By all means
To show you I will protect Haruto.
(Marie laughs)
You are interesting.
What?
It was a little refreshing
Satoko-san, it's your loss.
From the first time we met
I was watching while thinking, I would be able to get along with you
For you, here
It might be suffocating for you and I was worried.
But with that resolution, it's fine.
Hey, the butter shoyu rice from before
I was full so I couldn't eat it.
Could you make it again? With pleasure.
Satoko-san, what should we do about that person.
About that Can't you think about it yourself?
I'm sorry. To scratch someone during a game, it's a foul right.
Rika! Your child brought up the preschool is...
Are you... okay?
I'm sorry.
Excuse me
Is it fine like this? Doing things as you are told.
Woah It's been a long time since Wamai appeared.
Arisu Clinic
I'm going.
Say Haruto
Would you like to remain at Shizuku Preschool?
Yes.
I see.
Then Mum will work hard.
Do your best!
Alright, I'm going.
To my dad in heaven,
I want to be an adult quickly.
I want to let my mum oversleep.
Kiko!
(In Italian) Good Morning!
To my dad in heaven,
Can you see us from heaven?
