Kasuga-kun,
I trusted you...
I believed you would drop your mask,
and follow me to the other side.
Liar.
Nakamura-san!
Nakamura-san...
Nakamura-san was mad at me because...
I get it now.
Nakamura-san was hurt!
I will write an essay!
I won't let Nakamura-san be alone!
Flowers of Evil
Episode 12 of 13
Nakamura-san, wait...
I'm a shit-face...
A total shit-face!
Was there something you needed?
Nakamura-san, I'm sorry. For everything I said up on the mountain, for not going to the other side with you. I finally realize now...
Pork buns, I can understand,
but oden stew during the summer is crazy.
That's just wrong...
That convenience store sells weird stuff.
Like snacks that I've never seen advertised before.
Yeah, that's true.
You know,
I found something really cute at that store the other day.
What was it?
This cute pink lip gloss...
I bought it.
Wow, that took guts!
Good morning, Nakamura-san.
Look who's here...
Morning.
Just look at his eyes, man.
Knock on wood he stays away.
That one clerk was so hot...
Don't you agree?
Yeah.
Okay, that's it for announcements.
Class monitor?
Stand.
Bow.
Goodbye.
All right!
Wanna go somewhere?
Sorry about that...
Hey, guys...
Huh?
What's up with Kasuga?
He's been acting weird, hasn't he?
Any idea?
Huh?
How would we know?
Aren't you and Kasuga friends?
You must have some idea.
Spit it out.
Well...
He hasn't been reading his books anymore, lately.
He used to spend every free second with a book.
I just don't get that guy!
Talk about creepy!
Ai-chan?
Let's go.
O-Okay...
Nakamura-san!
Nakamura-san, wait...
Wait up!
Nakamura-san!
I...
I wrote an essay...
Remember the promise we made?
Please read it...
Read it, please!
W-Wait...
I get it!
I'll read it to you.
I'll read it aloud, so listen!
"Nakamura-san, I'm sorry.
For everything I said up on the mountain,
for not going to the other side with you.
I finally realize now...
I must have really hurt you!
I never stopped to consider it...
I was only thinking about myself.
I'm a shit-face...
A total shit-face!
You've probably lost interest in me.
But I'll do my best.
I'll do my best to be a real pervert!
I won't let you be alone!
If I did that,
I'd regret it for the rest of my life!"
Look out!
Watch where you're going!
Let's go.
Takao?
Takao, where are you going?
Cut it out...
That's my fried chicken.
Delicious fried chicken...
Bastard!
Then give me some of your snacks!
Forget it.
What are you doing?
Bastard!
Hand it over!
Nakamura
To Nakamura-san
Was there something you needed?
O-Oh...
My name is Kasuga.
A-And I'm very sorry for what happened the other day!
F-For when Nakamura...
Sawa-san and I
went up the mountain...
I'm sorry for making everyone worry.
So you're Kasuga-kun?
It's okay. Raise your head.
Did you come here to apologize?
Would you like to come in?
No, that's...
This is the first time a friend of Sawa's has visited.
I don't think Sawa's home yet,
but why not come in?
I'm home.
Excuse the intrusion...
Hey, you can relax.
Okay.
Sorry it's so messy in here.
It's fine.
Ah...
You're a friend of Sawa's?
Nice to meet you, I'm Kasuga.
It's nice to meet you.
Gran, bring me a beer.
Sure.
Say, Kasuga-kun...
What is your impression of Sawa?
Eh?
Girls can be difficult...
Even as her father, I'm ashamed to admit I don't understand her.
She rarely opens her mouth, and when she does, it's only cursing...
Where did she learn that language?
And she stays out very late.
She won't listen to a word I say.
Honestly, I wonder who she takes after...
Here you go.
Oh...
Thank you.
Um... What about her mother?
Yeah...
She isn't around.
We divorced when Sawa was five.
I'm sorry.
It's fine. Listen...
I was wondering...
What is your relationship with Sawa?
I don't know.
Friends...
We're friends, I guess.
Honestly, I'm not sure what Nakamura...
What Sawa-san is thinking.
Still...
I want to understand her.
You're an honest boy, Kasuga-kun.
Well, it's almost time for dinner.
Would you like to join us?
Huh?
No, that's okay.
Well, you came all the way out here.
And Sawa should be home soon.
I'll call your parents to let them know.
I'm sorry...
It's no trouble.
Uh, may I use the restroom?
Keep out, shit-faces!
Oh, hello?
Is this Kasuga-san?
I'm Nakamura.
Yes, hello.
Oh, not at all.
Right now, Kasuga-kun is over at our house.
Yes.
No, it's no trouble at all.
Well, since he came all this way,
I've invited him to stay for dinner...
Nakamura-san...
So long! So long! You're all shit-faces! Oshimi Shuuzou
