I'm counting on you.
I'm supposed to be studying at your house today after school.
Oh, has it been a week already?
Yagami, does Godai pass as a tutor?
She says Godai is her pillar in the gray world of exams!
Isn't that so, Yagami?
It must be nice to have a pillar to lean on...
You're serious?
Of course!
When I can't remember the English vocabulary,
when I can't figure out an algebraic problem,
I look up and I see Godai's sweet smile. And the anguish disappears.
As long as the English vocabulary doesn't disappear along with it.
Didn't you know? Falling in love makes you stupid.
What?! Really?
Not a problem! Just being with Godai, breathing the same air...
That's enough for right now...
Let's see... "Oedipus complex is going after..."
This is hard!
Now that I think about it it's a miracle I got into college.
I don't know if he's conscientious or just lacks courage...
He's ended up going along with Yagami.
Good evening!
How are you?
Are you the guard?
I'm cleaning! Godai!
What is it, Manager?
Yagami is here.
Okay, shall we start?
Why are you leaving the door open?
Why? No particular reason...
Did the manager tell you to?
Of-Of course not...
Then, close the door.
You can study with the door open!
I cannot.
Why?
Because!
What are you doing there!
I can drink wherever I want.
Godai, why don't you use red shades?
Why should I?
It'll bring out the mood.
They're all making fun of me...
They're such a pain.
Open your book.
Yes!
This is it, this serenity...
Got it! Look here, Yagami. This problem...
Yes!
Yes?
Excuse me.
I've made some tea...
Thank you...
Just when we were getting into the mood... That widow!
But why does he have to be so jumpy?
It's practically a conditioned response.
I'm home.
Oh, you're late, Ibuki.
I told you, I was studying at Mami's house.
You can study at home!
Helping each other when necessary makes the studying go smoothly.
Then, maybe we should hire a tutor.
A tutor?
Yes, the neighbor was saying she knew a student at Tokyo University who's good.
It's not a male, is it?
It is...
A male's no good!
A young man and a young girl alone, you can't tell what they're thinking.
If Dad ever finds out I'm going to Godai's...
How long will this relationship last...?
What are you thinking?! It can't last forever, you know.
That's right. Your parents will find out in no time.
You should give it up, Ibuki.
Besides, Godai is probably making it with that widow.
Even if that's true, that's not love!
That widow is only giving Godai terror, tension and oppression!
That must be what he wants.
Godai is a masochist.
I want to free Goda's imprisoned soul.
TOKEIZAKA TENNIS CLUB
Hey, did you hear about Coach Mitaka?
That he hasn't been at work for a while...?
I thought he might have gone on a trip,
but it seems he stays home every day and plays with his dog.
His dog...?
I love dogs. Dogs are cute.
I never knew there were adorable animals like this...
Come, McEnroe! Fly into my arms!
Dogs are adorable! I...I...love dogs!
N-No! They are not!
This is no good... I mustn't be discouraged by this!
I must face this ordeal and someday, I will triumph!
Here Soichiro, dinner.
I'm home.
Hi. That's right, today is your tutoring session.
I have to get some refreshments.
That's not necessary.
Don't be shy. After all, it's only for this month.
Huh?
Are you continuing next month, too?
No, of course not! In this atmosphere, Yagami can't concentrate either.
I think so, too!
What's she pulling?!
But, it's true...this atmosphere...
I don't want it to end like this...
Geez...
Be quiet!
It looks like they've settled down.
I'm so sorry, Yagami.
It would be good if you could study in a quieter atmosphere...
As manager, it's my fault.
So because of that, we should end this tutoring after next week...
I see.
I have one request, though...
Will you tutor me at my house next week?
What?
I want to study uninterrupted at least this last time.
But that's...
Do you want to come with us, Manager?
As a watchdog?
That's...
So it's okay, Godai?
Then, next week in a better atmosphere...
A week has passed, but I don't feel good about this...
Welcome!
Ah, thank you...
Come in, Godai.
Wait, I want to say hello to your parents.
Never mind that. Later.
Well, then. Excuse me...
My room is upstairs.
This is it, Godai. Come in.
Both of my parents went to a wedding and aren't home.
Then, could it be that there's just you and me in this house...?
That's right! Just the two of us.
Is Godai tutoring at Miss Yagami's house tonight?
Yes...
Will it be all right?
What?
You can't tell what that girl will do...
I'm sure everything will be okay.
Her parents are there, too...
I wonder...
Of course.
Are you going to peel the apple to the core?
We won't be interrupted by anyone tonight.
Yeah...
What's the matter Godai?
Huh? I guess I'm just used to things being noisy. This is too quiet...
Shall I put on some music?
How's this? Is it better?
Yes, well...
Ah, when are your parents coming home?
Don't worry. They said they'd be late, so rest easy.
That's why I'm worried...
Godai!
This problem...
Oww!
Are you all right?
Ah! Don't come near me!
Geez, what are you so excited about?
N...Nothing...
Dad...!
Ibuki, we're home!
Ibuki! Aren't you here?
Oh, Dad, you're drunk!
I'm fine. Let me go!
Why are they home so early...
Godai, hide!
Hurry!
Why do I have to...?
The tutoring is a secret.
What!?
Are you here, Ibuki?
What's the matter, Dad? You're early.
I was worried about you, so I left early.
What about me?
I hear that recently you've been coming home late.
You're not meeting some strange man out there, are you?
W-What brought that up?
Is there or isn't there someone? Which is it?
Can't you trust me?
I want to, but it's a fact his daughter...
Today was his friend's daughter's wedding.
I understand his frustration.
She never talked about it and they met behind his back.
Then suddenly, they're getting married. What's a father to do!!
On top of that, he's inebriated.
A petty thief like that...
If it were me I'd kill him with my bare hands!
How silly!
What do you mean by silly?!
I understand, so leave already! I have an English test tomorrow!
Come on, Dad. You're interrupting her studies.
Here, I'm so worried about her...
I'm sorry Godai.
What's this all about?
He drank too much at a friend's wedding...
I'm talking about the tutoring.
Huh?
Why did you hide it from your dad?
Because Dad wouldn't allow it.
But... What about my position!
Hey, Ibuki!
What is it, Dad? Is there something else?
I just heard a man's voice.
Why would there be a man here? You're so drunk...
But I'm sure, just now...
You're hearing things, that's what it is...
I've nothing to stand on...
Godai...
I'll go and get your shoes, please leave through the window.
The window...?!
I'm not your secret lover or anything.
Why do I have to leave through the window?!
Oh, no, it broke!
I have a bad feeling about this...
Are you through studying already?
Yes, well...
Then come with me.
W...What is it?
Just come.
Well, we haven't talked much recently... Don't you think?
Oh...?
In any case, make me some tea.
Okay.
That Yagami, what's she doing...?
This is getting ridiculous.
I don't have any reason to be running and hiding!
They'll understand when they hear.
There's no reason to sneak around. Go in with confidence!
Godai...!
What's that? He's sitting on my sneakers and won't get off!?
What shall we do...?
Then the only thing to do is confess the truth.
You can't do that, now. We can't go back now.
What do you mean, "we"?!
Lies are dangerous. In order to sustain a lie, you must tell more lies.
In any case, I'm going to talk to your father.
Godai!
Ibuki, is someone here?
Mom...
I thought I heard a voice.
Actually, Mom, I have my tutor here today.
What? Your tutor?
And where is this person?
Good evening.
Oh, it's you...
I'm sorry for coming in while you were out...
We haven't done anything wrong.
Please believe us, Mom! It's just that...
You came home so suddenly that I instinctively hid him.
That's good.
Dad empathized with the father of the bride...
I'll obliterate any man who comes near Ibuki...
If he had found you, it would have been all over.
So, Mom, I have a favor...
Being a father is so sad...
Dear, your bath is ready!
It's cold!
Here.
Thank you.
Come on, Godai. Leave while you can.
I'll be leaving, then.
I'm sorry for everything...
Well, Yagami, it's too bad our last session turned out like this...
We may never meet again, but don't get distracted and study hard.
But...
Mom! The bath's not hot!
Where are you, Mom!
Go on, hurry!
Be good!
Godai!
A burglar!
No, I'm not!
A peeping tom! It's a peeping tom!
You're mistaken!
G-Godai!
I'm home...
What in the world happened?
All kinds of things, but I got home safely...
Your shoes?
Godai must have been in a panic.
I'll see you again, Godai.
What? Mr. Yotsuya for Yagami?
That's right, I became her tutor.
Are you sure, Yagami?
He's a pervert! A pervert!
Next time: "Yagami's Scream! The Dangers of Private Lessons with Yotsuya!"
What is Mr. Yotsuya doing?
