Charisma! Get over here!
Huh?
So noisy. What?
"What is it, Takasu-sensei?"
What is it, Takasu-sensei?
Hey, look at this.
Okay..."write the reading of the following sentence".
"Ki ni hairanai" (An incorrect kanji reading of "ki ni iranai" - to not be pleased)
Huh? "Ki ni hairanai". Everyone except Jack wrote that?
What are you teaching them?
So, "ki ni hairanai" is correct then?
Of course not! Don't forget.
If one of your students fails, your dreams of being a high school teacher
goes up in smoke!
Okay, today we're going to review.
It's time to get to work!
- She doesn't seem to be in a good mood. - Maybe she was rejected by a guy.
Paul, do you drink black tea often (yoku)?
- I casually (tamatama) drink. - Casually (tamatama)?
"Tamatama" means by chance! You mean "occasionally" (tama ni) right?
Occasionally (tama ni), I sometimes (tokidoki) drink.
"Tama ni" and "tokidoki" are different!
All these adverbs, I taught you when to use them because they
all talk about different frequencies! For example...
Someone who drinks black tea everyday, always (itsumo) drinks.
Someone who drinks it 5 times a week, generally (taitei) drinks.
4 times a week, often (yoku) drinks.
And 3 times a week, sometimes (tokidoki) drinks.
And someone who doesn't drink, never (zenzen) drinks.
- Got it? - Yes.
I always (itsumo) drink black tea.
Russian Tea, right?
They drink black tea with jam in it in Russia, right?
You have jam on the side when you drink. You put milk of cow (ushi no chichi) in tea.
When you write "ushi no chichi", you read it as "gyuunyuu" (milk).
Didn't I teach that to you last time?
- Haruko you're scary! - I'm not!
Aren't you pleased (ureshiku) to be teaching?
Not "ureshiku" (pleased), "tanoshiku" (happy).
"Ureshii" and "tanoshii" is used to represent different
- lengths of happiness. - Lengths?
If you met Takakura Ken, which would you use?
- I'd be pleased (ureshii). - Right?
And watching a movie about honor?
- Hmm, happy (tanoshii). - Right.
"Tanoshii" is used to represent a longer time of happiness than "ureshii".
And, I taught that last time, right?
Sorry.
Haruko! Do shinobi and kunoichi mean different things?
You can ask me that after class.
Hey, which one is a ninja?
Ah, fine! Kunoichi is a female ninja.
Here. Ku...no...ichi! (Writing the characters for ku, no, ichi)
All foreigners have an interest in ninjas.
In Sweden, such amazing people don't exist.
Hattori Hanzo. Sarutobi Sasuke. Sanada Hiroyuki.
Last one's an actor.
Ninjas just vanish, right?
- Huh? - And they fly in the air.
- And they ride on frogs. - Naruto, Naruto, Naruto!
Hey hey!
Do you all think ninjas are still around?
Yeah!
I came here to meet ninjas. But I haven't yet.
Of course not. There are no ninjas in Japan today.
There are! Haruko. You don't believe in the greatness of ninjas.
- Ninjas were great at math too. - Math?
- Yeah! - Ninja guidebook?
When a ninja wanted to find out how deep a moat was
he would measure the height of a reed from the water,
then measure how long it took from it to the reed to submerge when pulled forward.
He would use the Pythagorean theorem to figure it out.
Is it true?
I don't know! I'm not a ninja.
Besides, I'm sorry to shatter everyone's dreams but
there are no ninjas nowadays.
Besides, vanishing? Flying in the sky?
Those are just fairy tales.
A salary man at my store vanished too.
That's just an old man gag. And this Pythagorean theorem is a bit suspicious.
No, I think I read about the Pythagorean
theorem in math documents from the Edo period.
- Really? - Yeah! You're wrong here!
If ninjas were that powerful, then wouldn't
they have taken over the world?
Ninjas were pacifists though!
- That's right! - They exist!
Okay! Fine they exist. Shouldn't you look for them?
- She said they exist! - Ellen, hurry take your seat!
Everyone, ninjas exist!
- Vanish! - Split into duplicates!
"Manuke" technique! (Manuke - idiot)
Not "manuke"! "Nawanuke"! (Manuke - idiot, nawanuke - rope)
Haha! (Manuke - idiot, nawanuke - rope)
Get serious!

Hey, why were you shouting during class?
Hey, can we exchange students?
At this rate, I won't become a high school teacher.
Well then, you should stay a Japanese...
I won't.
- Master! - Oh, Ellen.
Haruko, where are the ninjas? Tell me.
Still...
Okay? The places where ninja are nowadays are secret.
- So no one knows. - Really?
- Haruko-sensei. - It's fine.
Okay, maybe I should go on the Hanzomon Line to Hanzomon.
Hattori Hanzo's house is there.
Hattori Hanzo's house is Hanzomon?
Hanzomon. The house of the leader of the Iga Ninja, Hanzo.
Okay. Got it.
I'm going to go look for ninjas. If I expose (suppa nuku) one, I'll let you know.
Ah, what's the "suppa" in "suppa nuku" mean?
Suppa?
Haruko!
Who is it now?
Long time no see.
Fumio.
- Who's that? - Probably someone she went
out with from her university days.
I heard it about it before. He's a high school teacher.
What's this all of a sudden?
Japanese teachers have a lot of freedom.
- It's nothing special. - Did you forget?
It's because you were so free with your clothes,
that's how you failed your high school employment exam.
I don't like any schools that judges people on their appearance.
What a brat.
What?
Did you come here to argue?
Did you come to say something?
- Do you intend to stay here? - Seriously...
I haven't given up yet.
- Hanzomon Private High School. - My school is looking for a Japanese teacher.
- Huh? - Starting this September with our new semester.
September is so soon.
That's why I came to see you.
But, why?
Good work today.
Good work.
Come to Hanzomon at 5 tomorrow. I'll introduce you to our chairman.
- Tomorrow? - You just have to meet him. I'll do what I can after that.
But, this is so sudden...
To be quite honest,
this isn't a place for you I believe.
Excuse me. Where is Hattori Hanzo's house?
Where are the ninjas?
Hanzomon is straight ahead on the Koushu Highway...
Disappeared.
- High school employment interview? - It's a chance for me.
But what about the principal helping you look for work?
That's right. But, Takasu won't let all my students graduate.
I don't mean to meddle, but after coming all this way now,
do you think you can just leave the students behind?
Hello. Koubun Academy. Huh? Police?
I'm very sorry.
No, I just found her squatting down in the forest during my patrol.
I just called because I was worried.
Ellen! What are you doing in that getup?
You said there were ninjas!
- Ah, that's... - Well, just glad nothing happened.
Recently, there have been some rape incidents nearby.
Rape incidents?
The culprit uses a blade
to inflict large injuries on the face and body.
Glad nothing happened.
Thanks for the meal!
Got it. Okay, be careful back home.
Ah, Haruko-sensei, about before...
I wonder if Haruko-sensei will quit our school.
Hmm...
Oh, are you hungry?
No, I just don't feel comfortable around here.
Ah well, if you'd like, we can eat.
Ah, what do you like Shibuya-sensei?
- Haruko! - Ah!
Are you okay?
I really met a ninja!
- Who would believe that? - I got this.
You take a photo and I'll believe it. Gotta expose him.
Ellen. Hurry!
Hurry!
What's with that walking?
That's how ninjas run.
- Run? Like this? - Yeah.
- You can't run like that. - No, it's fast!
Taken by the police?
This is record breaking... making Ellen go to such a
- dangerous place! - I didn't know it was dangerous!
You're the one lying to students!
And you're still not teaching them Japanese!
Are you not satisfied (yaku busoku) with my work?
No, rather, I don't think you have the skills (chikara busoku).
"Yaku busoku" would mean more that you're not being given enough to do,
so it's not that big of a statement. In other words, it's your teaching
skills as a Japanese teacher that is insufficient.
- They're the same! - What?
Wait a second.
If you don't like it, go to the high school.
I'm worried about the students if she quits!
Are you just worried about the students?
The students put their faith in you and you're running away before graduation.
I feel sorry for them.
Nice, huh?
Ellen! Ellen!
Ellen! What's with the phone?
The cell phone the ninja dropped at Hanzomon.
Dropped at Hanzomon? You should give dropped things to the police!
I'm going to give it to the ninja myself!
Sorry. I lied about that.
There are no ninjas anywhere. Not even in Hanzomon.
- A lie? - What's this?
It's not a lie! I met a ninja!
His face and body was all in black. And he just vanished!
Uh... maybe you saw him in a dream?
- Hello. - Ellen! Class is starting!
You think it's okay to lie to students?
If you're going to lie to us, then we can't trust you!
- Yeah! - Can't trust you!
Ah... sorry, I called.
- You're a ninja? - Huh?
I won't tell your secret to anyone.
I want to vanish too.
Then I'll give you back your phone.
Okay. But people can see us in the afternoon so
- let's meet again at night? - Okay!
You're going to take it? After you got all this way to help your students graduate.
Ellen! You skipped class! Where were you?
- It's a secret. - Why did you skip class?
I'll tell you, come here with me.
So looks like you lost your student's trust.
Actually, it makes things a lot easier!
Haruko!
Let's go.
Okay.
Hey wait. Are you going to make the same mistakes again?
Huh?
- Finished? - Can't do it.
- Did you change? - I said I can't do it!
We don't have time.
I can't go there like this.
You can do it. Yep.
This isn't me.
It's fine, you're just doing it so you can get what you want.
Ah Haruko-sensei? Where are you now?
Now? I'm about to go for my interview.
Huh? Your interview is today?
I see. Well, I have kendo practice but
Ellen didn't show up, so I figured she was with you.
Ellen?
I didn't get it but, she's going to take a picture with the ninja
whose phone she has in the forest and then show it
- to you as proof. - To me?
Yeah. She wanted to make it a surprise
so she told me to keep it secret.
Almost time to go.
I met a ninja!
His face and body was all in black. And he just vanished!
Vanished...
The cell phone the ninja dropped at Hanzomon.
Hey! I think we've got trouble!
A rape suspect?
Okay. The forest in Hanzomon?
Got it. I'll go look right away.
Wait. Where are you going?
- I think my student is in trouble. - Didn't you ask another teacher?
Today, you should take care of yourself. Okay?
How much more walking?
Up to a place where no one will see us. I'm a ninja after all.
Ah. Let me teach you the art of escape.
- I know! - You know?
I know some other stuff too. Do you use the Pythagorean theorem to measure how deep a moat is too?
- What's that? - Are you really a ninja?
Sorry. I lied.
You're not satisfied teaching Japanese, right? It's a completely different level from high school.
- Level? - Didn't your students just come here to sightsee?
I came to meet a ninja!
A lot of students who aren't serious, right?
Everyone, ninjas exist!
- "Manuke" technique! - Not "manuke"! "Nawanuke"!
Your students are foreigners. It's easy for trouble to happen.
And besides, wasn't this your intention all along?
The students put their faith in you and you're running away before graduation.
I feel sorry for them.
To be honest, the job isn't good enough (yaku busoku) for you.
Not good enough? (Yaku busoku)
Let's go.
- No, it's not. - Huh?
Maybe I have students who can't really read or write.
But, everyone does want to learn!
And actually, I think they're stronger than us Japanese.
- What are you saying? - Maybe they do seem not serious but
they're actually very serious. They truly do believe that ninjas do exist.
- Ninjas? - Sure, there are a lot of troubles.
But, don't all schools have problems?
You're just lumping all kinds of education together.
Everyone loves Japan. Honor, samurai's, even ninjas.
They know more about it than me!
- But... - My dream hasn't changed. To be a high school teacher.
- Okay, then... - But right now,
I don't think that a Japanese teaching job isn't good enough (yaku busoku) for me.
Rather, I'm not good enough for it (chikara busoku).
If you come to our school, I'll help. Just like before.
Like before?
How about we make up?
That's why you referred me to this?
I figured you had your back towards the past.
Don't misunderstand me.
- I'm always looking forward. - No, Haruko...
There's no point in running away from reality to live in some dream.
Sorry.
Keep resisting and I'll cut that pretty face of yours.
Help me...
Ellen! Ellen!
Haruko! Haruko!
- Ellen! - More trouble huh?
Hey hey! Wait!
Wait wait!
- Stop it! - Be quiet!
Quit it!
Get away!
Ellen! Are you okay?
Haruko!
Shuriken?
Hands off of my student!
You sick pervert!
Ellen! Ellen!
Master! Haruko, Master is here!
Ellen are you okay? You're not hurt?
Master.
Huh, I thought I heard Haruko-sensei's voice.
She vanished.
Ellen-san!
Vanished?
- Get up! - You attacked Ellen!
- Stop! - Attack!
Hey! Hey! Someone help me!
It looks like Haruko-sensei didn't go to her interview.
- Honestly, I'm glad. - Takasu-sensei.
I was worried I would lose the pleasure of firing her myself.
You seem happy that you can keep working with Haruko-sensei.
Yeah. If we lost a friend at work, I think I
would start feeling sad around here.
Huh? So that's the case?
It'll be hard to keep feelings of love under wraps in the workplace.
Yeah...
Thanks a lot, teacher.
Ah Ellen! I looked into it and the "suppa" from "suppa nuku"
is actually a ninja thing.
- Ninja? - Yeah. Ninja
would quickly get their hands on information, so they called it
"suppa nuku", or getting your hands on secret information.
- Amazing! - But in today's Japan...
You don't have to tell me. There are no ninjas.
Huh?
But there really are. You're a female ninja (kunoichi) after all.
- Female ninja? - Casually (tama tama) vanish, okay?
Hey! I hurt my foot saving you!
I fell down for you! Also, it's not "tama tama"
it's "tama ni" (sometimes)!
Open up! Open up! Ellen!
