A prestigious school attended by super rich boys and girls, Eitoku Academy.
It's a peasant hunt!!!
The quintet who protect Eitoku's dignity and order, the C5.
The leader is Kaguragi Haruto.
In peasant hunting... there are no exceptions.
My father's company went bankrupt and I became a secret peasant.
But then, Kaguragi found out.
Welcome.
- What? - Are you serious?
But Kaguragi Haruto was actually a super weak boy!
Isn't there some way to shut that girl up?
You make that girl yours.
I'm a generous man. Unlike those narrow-minded peasants.
Are rich people that great?
You're truly pathetic.
You're in love with Otocchi, aren't you?
I'm saying there's no way I would fall in love with a peasant!
Because I have a fiance!
Fiance?!
Hase... Tenma?
Since they ran into each other in this kind of situation...!
Tell this to Hase Tenma.
If he appears in front of me, he's not getting off easily.
I was right! It is you, Oto!
"Oto"?
I saw you walking when I was in the car.
You're Kaguragi-kun, right?
Oh? So you know about me.
Of course.
The story of the C5 at Eitoku Academy is famous.
Anyway, what is this?
You two know each other?
Ah... Um...
You could say we know each other...
We were childhood friends, and she's my...
Bocchan~!
Ah! Bocchan!
Kobayashi?
Bocchan who ran away from the mansion has been found.
Medical team, prepare for urgent aid!
Ready, and... 1, 2, 3!
Uwah, you idiots! Let me go!
It's understandable that you would be shaken up.
You were hit with such a big slab of meat.
I'm NOT shaken up!
We have the clinical psychologist on standby too.
Listen to me!
Okay, go on.
Put me down!
Let go! Oi!
He got hit with a slab of meat? What happened?
It's alright. It's not something you need to worry about, Tenma-kun.
Really?
It's late now, though. I'll see you home.
Okay.
I'm telling you, I don't need any treatment or anything!
Sorry.
Could you wait a minute?
Kobayashi!
Bocchan, don't do anything rash!
- Besides, what happened to your back?! - When I heard about your drastic situation,
it got better.
What the heck?
Excuse me!
It's not that I forgive you for what you did to Konno-san,
but thank you for saving me.
Is something the matter?
- My chest... - Eh?!
Arrange for a heart surgeon and CT scan at the mansion!
Yes.
Thank you for dropping me off.
See you on Sunday.
Yeah.
- Good night. - Good night.
Ahh...
What is up with today?
Welcome home, Oto-chan!
I'm home.
Your throat was quite dry, wasn't it?
It must be hard at work, right?
It's not because of work, but I'm extraordinarily tired.
At times like these, you need to refresh yourself!
It's easier said than done...
Huh?
It arrived! Your once in a month joy!
Um...
What might you be doing?
What do you think?
I'm pulling it off pretty well, don't you think?
I wanted to have a change of pace too!
Okay, okay. I get it.
Oh yeah! Don't you want to try it on too?
- I'm tired, maybe next time. - Just for a little while!
Hang on, my phone...
I'm sorry about this...
Calling you in so suddenly.
It's no problem!
I didn't know what to do!
Maeno suddenly quit on me.
Huh?
He's going to move away.
He said he won't get involved with someone at work ever again, I don't get it!
Don't tell me...
In peasant hunting...
... there are no...
You're truly pathetic.
No exceptions!
Huh?
Konno-san?
It's Oto. I'm so sorry about yesterday.
Huh? What for?
I made you feel really bad.
Oh, not at all!
I got lots of souvenirs.
It all worked out in the end.
I'm saving a week's worth of food expenses~
But he said such mean things to you...
You got too excited, didn't you?
Since it's far too different from the world of peasants.
Oh, you mean Harutocchi?
Harutocchi, you say?
It surprised me a little bit,
but he seems like a good kid at heart.
I... guess he does?
Yeah.
He ran after you straight away yesterday.
I wonder what his aim is.
I mean, for the C5 to bother with a peasant for no reason...
Haruto has been off lately, hasn't he?
Huh?
Is that because of the girl who's threatening Haruto?
How did you know about that?
When I asked Sugimaru he spat it out immediately.
What happened to Haruto?
Hey!
- That musclehead. - And so?
Who exactly is that girl?
Don't ask me, ask Haruto!
You know how I feel, don't you?
I honestly couldn't care less what happens to Eitoku.
Going to senior school here, joining the C5...
Every. Single. Thing. was for Haruto.
- Calm down! - Which is why!
I can't relax until I find the girl who's causing Haruto pain and call her out.
I get it. I'll look into it.
You better.
If you don't...
There we go.
I feel a bit better now.
Please do what I asked, okay?
Honestly...
What's wrong with everyone?
So what happened with the girl we were talking about?
Don't hide it, just tell us!
Broken hearts make people stronger.
Were you dumped, Haruto?
As if!
She's head over heels for me.
She was attracted to me to start with,
and the threat was just the way she hid her feelings.
Can we talk?
So,
despite being a commoner, she goes and says she's got a fiance.
Then Hase Tenma suddenly turns up.
It's all messed up.
Hase was there?
Apparently she's Hase's childhood friend.
Ahh, so annoying.
I haven't been able to get Edogawa's face out of my head since yesterday.
You didn't have to fall for a girl like that...
What? Why does it come to that?
Then why are you so obsessed with Edogawa?
Th... That's because...
It's so I can punish her.
What?
I'll make her regret threatening me.
I'll make her fall madly in love with me and then toss her away.
Look, she's got a fiance, right?
It's a peasant's fiance, you know?
Do you think I'd lose to some random bastard?
Don't cause so much trouble, okay?
Airi will lose her temper.
Why are you suddenly bringing up Airi?
- Just how thickheaded are you? - Alright.
That's how it is. So what should I do next to make her fall for me?
- Hey, Oto? - Hm?
- Do you like pancakes? - Yeah, sure.
You should definitely try them then! The next generation pancakes.
Next generation?
I just sent it on LINE.
It's a new shop, you know? And it's pretty popular.
Ohh, they look delicious!
So today let's go make up for the parfaits.
I'm sorry. I forgot my wallet...
- Huh? - Huh?
Hey, Oto. Are you alright?
Huh?
If something's wrong, you can talk to us anytime, okay?
Okay.
I can't tell them I can't go because of work,
so I probably can't keep pretending any longer, huh.
Are you working after school again today?
Do you need something?
Don't you have anything to say to me?
Something to say?
You know, at the convenience store yesterday...
Ah!
So the reason Maeno-san quit really was...
I guess so.
Kobayashi...
Yes?
Look up that bastard Maeno who works at the convenience store.
Huh?
Is he asking for a thank you?
Er...
Thank you very much for saving me...
Since you said so, I'll let you give me a gift of thanks.
A gift? I will?
Were those words a lie?
Uh... Okay, okay.
I can't get you anything expensive but I'll get you a present, what do you want?
Then...
Pa...
Pa?
- Pan... - Pan?
Pan...
Underpants?!
No, you idiot!
It's pancakes.
Pancakes?
There's those next generation ones or something, right?
If you come get those with me, I'll call it even.
Oh! My friends were talking about those just now.
It's a popular shop, isn't it?
A man of my level is well-aware of trends, you see.
Well if that's all you want, I guess it's okay.
It's okay?
You're right, it might be hard for a guy to go by himself to a pancake shop.
So when shall we go?
H-How about Sunday?
My plans are full for the next 6 months,
but I'm miraculously free this Sunday.
Yeah, okay.
Oh, sorry. I can't go on Sunday after all.
I have plans that day...
How about Saturday?
It's another miracle!
I'm free.
So how does around 1pm sound?
Then, Saturday...
Yebisu Garden Place Square, 1pm.
Okay. We'll do that, then.
What a simple woman.
It's alright, isn't it?
If it means I don't have to talk to him again.

[Program to continue in a few moments...]
You are going to get pancakes, is that right?
Is something weird?
Something a bit more casual might be...
Casual?
What does 'casual' mean?
Like this?
My apologies, I'm unfamiliar with fashion.
Ahh... I don't know anymore!
How about using the lucky item from your horoscope as a reference?
Kobayashi!
I'm sorry.
Are you a genius?
Huh?
Why... a cowboy?
I couldn't help it!
My lucky item was Western films...
Oh...
You like those kinds of things, don't you?
Like those Mars rocks and lucky items...
Shuddup!
Let's hurry up and go.
Yeah. Apparently this shop gets pretty long lines.
No way, it's closed?
But it's Saturday!
What should we do? Is there another pancake shop around?
Huh? You can't do that!
We've been expecting you, Owner.
O... Owner?
I bought the shop itself yesterday.
Huh?
You think I would wait hours in line just for pancakes?
No matter how rich you are, would you normally buy it out?!
Come on, let's go.
Right...
Mmm!
It's delicious!
Is it?
You're not going to eat?
I'm not good with fresh cream.
Huh? You wanted to come to this shop, right?
Isn't this heap of fresh cream their selling point?
Shuddup.
Be quiet and eat.
Huh?
Isn't that weird?
If he bought out the shop, he could go on his own,
and if he wants a girl to go with him...
He could just ask the girl in the C5.
Bring me everything in this catalogue.
Could it be...
Thank you for waiting.
Um...
What is it? You want another serving?
That's not it.
Why are you paying attention to me?
Ah, it's hot! It's hot...
Are you trying to find out about something?
- Like how Tenma-kun and I... - What?
Why are you mentioning Hase?
So it's not that he found out about me and Tenma-kun being engaged?
Then is it about the Mars rocks and the weird online shopping?
Ah, no...
If that's what you're worried about, I'll never tell anyone.
So, it's okay if you just leave me alone.
How can you say that when you're the one who threatened me?
About that...
I'm sorry.
But... I want to stay at Eitoku.
There's a reason it can't be just any other school...
I'm amazed...
Eh?
Who would have guessed it was the same for you!
Me too?
The reason we stay at Eitoku.
The F4, right?
- F... - I get you!
You look up to them, right?
Sorry, I don't really follow...
Follow me.
Huh? Wait, wait...
Um... Where is this? [Domyouji]
I usually come here alone, but today is special.
Right...
Look, it's the Domyouji residence.
Domyouji?
I am who I am today thanks to Domyouji-san.
I wanted to be like him,
- so I started the C5. - Ah, wait a minute.
Um... Can I ask one question?
What is it?
Who is this "Domyouji"?
What?
Based on the conversation, he's from the F4, right?
Hey, hey, hey, hey... You're joking, right?
An Eitoku student doesn't know about Domyouji Tsukasa-san?
The leader of the F4?
I saw the F4 during elementary classes, but I don't know much more...
Give back the excitement I had until 30 seconds ago!
You just got excited on your own, didn't you?
When this is my special place...
If you come here alone often,
is that like stagedoor-ing for idols?
No!
I come here to renew my determination.
- Determination? - Determination.
Hey! Move over.
Don't just stand there, you're in the way!
I'm sorry.
Oi, grandma.
What business do you have at this house?
This right here, is the famous...
Domyouji residence, right?
Well you see, I'm the head maid here!
Oh really? This is Domyouji-san's...
I apologise for my severe impertience!
I'm a second year at Eitoku Academy, Kaguragi Haruto.
Oh? You're from Eitoku?
I'm devoting myself every day
to becoming a man like Domyouji-san.
Come on, let's go.
Sorry for bothering you.
It's a good chance.
Want to have some tea before you leave?
- Huh? - Huh?
How is it? Is it coming out perfect?
It's something like this.
Isn't that good?
Okay, now to set it as my phone wallpaper...
Ah...
I'm going to take a selfie upstairs.
Huh?
I'll take a photo for you later too.
Wait!
Oh man... This is too miraculous!
At this rate,
the day will end before we have tea, huh?
Sorry about all this.
Well he's odd,
but he doesn't seem like a bad guy.
You're right...
What are you doing?
Isn't it obvious?
I'm enjoying the air here with all the cells of my body.
You really like Domyouji-san, don't you?
"Like" is too shallow of a word!
Edogawa.
I swear.
I'll become a leader of Eitoku that won't bring shame to this noble place.
I'll turn it back into a school everyone can be proud of,
like when Domyouji-san was here.
I won't lose to the likes of Momonozono.
I see.
I don't dislike passionate men.
It's the same for our Bocchan, too.
Are you serious?
Now, we've finally arrived.
I'll quickly make preparations for tea.
Wow...
Oh, um...
I'll take my leave now.
What are you saying? You'll never get a chance like this again.
I'm sorry.
But...
I don't have the right to stay here.
Huh?
The reason I have to stay at Eitoku
is totally different from yours.
Huh?
I was going to keep it a secret.
But when you have talked about it so honestly to me,
I thought it would be rude.
Edogawa?
My engagement has a condition.
Eh?
That is...
That I stay at Eitoku Academy until I turn 18.
Then I'll get married, to Tenma-kun.
That's why,
I don't have any of the same feelings as you do.
We were childhood friends.
Hase... and her?
Anyway...
For another year and a little bit,
please don't drive me out of Eitoku.
Please!
Huh?
What is this?
The words aren't coming out.
Hase and her... are getting married?
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Wait. Don't go!
Damn it. Come out, voice!
Edogawa!
You're such a loser.
Relying on your fiance, Hase, to escape from poverty, huh?
Don't you have any pride?
Crap. I can't stop.
What an awful life.
So miserable.
I can't look at her face.
I already knew that without you telling me.
It's really pathetic.
But,
you don't have anything to do with my pathetic life, do you?
Damn it...
My chest hurts again...
Ouch.
What are you doing? Go after her!
Huh?
Apologise and try again.
Apologise?
That's weird.
Because today, even with the pancakes...
For her...
It was for her...
You don't have anything to do with my pathetic life, do you?
What?
What is this?
The bottom of my heart feels sick...
Thank you for bringing him home.
Not at all.
Get well soon.
Thank you very much.
You've been working hard so late.
Thank you, Rie-san.
You have to study for your exams too...
You don't have to meet with Oto-san every month.
I will meet her.
That's what my mother wanted.
Have fun, okay?
Yes.
Oto-chan! You look so beautiful!
Thank you.
It brings back memories. Remember? That party we were invited to in Dubai...
Right?
Miyoko-san too...
... must be happy up in heaven.
Tenma-kun's new mother is a really good person too.
Even like this,
she accepts your engagement.
That's true.
Have lots of fun today, okay?
I will.
I'm really glad I get to see Tenma-kun.
But...
Oto.
- Hey. - Hey.
Well... shall we go?
Okay.
But somewhere in my excited heart, there's a stinging pain.
That's no good.
Bocchan's porridge has to be egg porridge made from only the yolks of Nagoya Cochin chickens.
Hmm...
Bring me everything in this catalogue.
Yes, right away.
Oh! This one!
I'll take this.
That one is a very popular product...
We sold out of them the other day.
What? Why didn't you reserve one?
I'm terribly sorry.
I'll tell Papa.
Airi's dress!
I've seen her somewhere...
Oto! Sorry for making you wait.
Hase Tenma?
Kobayashi.
I told you I don't want to eat anything.
How astounding.
Eh?
You can't even manage your own health.
I'm sorry.
I'm disappointed in you.
I have no need for anything less... than the perfect son.
Kaito...
You came.
If you leave that many voice mails, then yeah.
I didn't expect Edogawa's fiance to be that Hase Tenma.
To make things even worse, I think I caught some peasant disease.
I think there's something wrong with me.
Since last night he hasn't even eaten,
and hasn't slept. He is in great pain.
When I close my eyes,
I remember that girl's face.
Kaito...
Take my place in the C5 and...
- ... protect Eitoku Academy... - This is the worst.
Yeah.
You're exactly right.
Understand, Haruto?
This disease you've caught...
... is the one called 'love'.
Love?
You've fallen in love with Edogawa Oto.
What's this!
Eh...
You're lying.
I'll have to make celebratory red rice!
Don't, you idiot!
Just accept it already.
You're lying.
I have a mountain of things to do!
I have no time to be hung up on a woman.
What are you saying after you forcibly set up a pancake date?
That's because...
It was to punish her!
Kobayashi-san.
Please say something.
Huh? I... should?
Kobayashi...
This isn't love, right?
- No, well... - Kobayashi-san.
Not being able to eat... isn't because of love, right?
What I think love is...
Love is...
It's when, before you know it,
you're thinking about the other person,
and unexpectedly, especially when you're feeling low...
You want to see her face, no matter what.
That kind of feeling.
Alright! I knew that wasn't it!
There's no way I would fall for a secret peasant!
Rie-san recommended this place.
It's a lovely restaurant.
I asked for the full course but is there anything else you want to eat?
No, it's alright.
Ow, ow, ow...
I guess I should've worn broken-in shoes, after all.
Alrighty.
It's poor manners, but it feels good.
Why don't you try it, Oto?
See? It feels better, right?
Yeah.
Hase-sama.
We have prepared the VIP room for you.
You would be able to enjoy the meal quietly there.
I see.
I'm sorry.
Bring the family at that table to the VIP room.
- Huh? - If it's a private room,
the baby and the mother would probably be at ease.
I've always loved this about Tenma-kun.
He's quick to lend a hand to someone in trouble and softens the atmosphere around.
It must be because he has no lies.
He doesn't fake himself, he's just honest.
I'm hungry now.
Yeah.
This is roast beef made with A5 rank Kobe beef.
Please relax and enjoy.
Is something wrong?
Oh, no. No, um...
It's just been a while since I've had roast beef.
That's good, then.
- Shall we eat? - Yeah.
How's school been lately?
It's fun!
Everyone in my new class is nice,
we all chat together during breaks...
And the other day, I went to eat parfaits with my friends.
Today's a bit...
Really?
Unlike Tenma-kun,
I'm overflowing with lies.
I'm becoming the complete opposite
of the Tenma-kun I love.
Hey.
You don't know who the girl threatening Haruto is yet?
The investigation's run into trouble.
If you're lying I'll make you swallow 1000 needles.
- Seriously. - Ow...
Oi!
You two, we're in a meeting.
Sorry~
So, what's this information about Momonozono?
The Issa girls collected it.
Information on Hase Tenma.
Oh?
He's quite skilled.
Everything was Hase Tenma's idea,
collecting B class rich across Japan at Momonozono.
B class?
They're rejoicing because their parents' businesses are going well by chance. Just upstarts, right?
They used them to keep increasing their enrollment rate.
And with a free school style,
and the students first thinking,
some are ditching Eitoku to go to Monozono.
Rumour has it that on top of IOT-ifiying the whole school, its entertainment factor is no joke.
- Wow. - Don't be shaken by rumours.
Not before we actually confirm them.
Then we'll have to do that.
[Momonozono Institute]
It's just a normal school.
The bell is perfomed live?
Is this normal to you?
- It's pretty ordinary. - Excuse me! Excuse me!
Uwah...
Ahh!
You're kidding, right?
A nail salon?
And so they called it the Great Wall of China.
Virtual reality classes... you say?
A golf practice centre!
A gym with a trainer!
What is this?
Skydiving as an extracurricular activity?
It's all ordinary!
Accept reality, Haruto.
The VR and the cleaning robots, they're all part of Hase's manifesto.
Implementation rate 100%...
This guy really is capable.
[Program to continue in a few moments...]
I'm home.
Oh, she just got back.
I'll hand you over.
Oto-chan.
Rie-san.
Hello, this is Oto.
Oto-san? How did it go?
Was it fun?
Yes, very much.
Thank you as always.
For the beautiful clothes, restaurant and everything.
It's fine.
Let me at least do this much.
But...
I have the clothes you have given me so far, so um,
you don't have to send them every month...
Don't mind it.
To meet up with Tenma-san, you need to at least do this much.
Huh?
I want you to be suitable for the Hase family, at least in appearance.
That would make Miyoko-san in heaven happier too, right?
You're right.
We need you to choose your friends at school properly, too.
If I remember correctly,
the Kaguragi family's son is at Eitoku.
Students and staff of Monozono Institute.
This is student council president Hase Tenma.
My engagement has a condition.
That I stay at Eitoku Academy until I turn 18.
Then I'll get married, to Tenma-kun.
Walking around the school lately, I think the atmosphere has become more cheerful...
There's always all-you-can-eat sweets.
I can see why you'd want to transfer.
How?
They're all just child's play.
But being able to do your nails at any time might be good.
- Don't be influenced by this! - Shh!
Don't shout.
Have more pride in Eitoku.
What?
Comparing to data of current students...
Comparing data...
Can not confirm your data.
- Can not confirm. - Shuddup.
- Stop making a fuss! - Don't talk to a robot.
Let's go.
Kaguragi?
Huh?
Class 2-D, Komatsubara Taku. Right?
Good for you.
You got to transfer to Momonozono.
Eitoku's Kaguragi...
The C5 is here!
Ooh? Is Airi's group famous?
Not the time to be happy.
Let's go.
This is a problem.
You need to get permission to enter the school grounds.
To keep the school safe, we will do anything.
First, an apology for causing a disturbance at the school.
Apologise!
I'll only say this once.
You're in the way. Move.
Stop.
They're my guests.
I won't allow any discourteous behaviour.
Tenma-san.
- Let me... - It's fine.
Because Kaguragi-san has been looking after my fiancee too.
Fiancee?
I haven't particularly done anything.
Would you like any sugar or milk?
- Milk! - Sugimaru.
Be quiet.
It's an honour that the C5 takes an interest in our school.
Eitoku Academy's legendary quartet.
I hear you've taken over the F4's will.
So what if we did?
Especially... the leader, Domyouji Tsuka--
Stop beating around the bush.
What did you say?
So, what's your aim in helping us?
Haruto, give it a rest.
My aim is this.
I hope we can take this chance, to deepen the friendship between our schools.
I don't like it.
- Haruto! - You're the ones who picked the fight first.
Slyly handing out flyers.
Eitoku Academy has to remain a one of a kind school.
I will never lose to you.
Kaguragi-kun.
Yeah?
I'll look for the students who handed out flyers and give them a warning.
I'm sorry.
Better than I expected.
Hase Tenma.
Like "the leader".
You can stop talking about Hase.
You were taken aback too, Kaito.
At his "capable man" aura.
Well...
Are you going?
Then Airi will too.
Hey, Sugimaru.
You're in the way. Move.
Leave him alone.
Huh?
He's just run into that massively big wall.
As Ichiro says,
"Walls only appear before those who can overcome them."
What a loser...
Tenma-kun's new mother is a really good person too.
Even like this, she accepts your engagement.
I want you to be suitable for the Hase family, at least in appearance.
Relying on your fiance, Hase, to escape from poverty, huh?
Don't you have any pride?
What an awful life.
So miserable.
Huh?
Er...
Are you alright?
Kaguragi?
Edogawa?
Huh?
What am I doing in a place like this?
Do you need something?
When you're feeling low...
You want to see her face, no matter what.
No...
Because, she has Hase Tenma.
Hey, are you listening?
Am I...
Huh?
Am I not good enough?
Huh?
What are you talking about?
No... Well...
Oh? It's Harutocchi! You doing well?
I guess not, huh.
Kaguragi?
My stomach...
Huh? Does it hurt?
My stomach is empty and I can't move.
What?!
I haven't eaten anything for 2 days.
Huh, fasting? You have a strong sense of beauty.
Just call home and get them to pick you up.
No way.
I'm not going home.
Today...
My old man is at home.
Going through a rebellious phase?
You don't understand my suffering.
You're making things complicated...
Just leave me alone.
It's a nuisance if you're collapsed in front of the store.
Huh? Are you still in a fight?
I told you, we weren't friends to start with.
Then, want to come to my place?
Huh?
Otocchi's just about to finish work too, anyway.
Right?
Huh?
Come in! It's a mess, but make yourself at home.
"Make yourself at home"...
- In this pigsty? - Be quiet!
Wait... Take off your shoes!
Hey Otocchi, why don't you cook him something?
What? Me?
Yeah.
You can use anything in the fridge,
but there's a good chance they're expired so be careful.
Huh?
You can cook?
We don't have chefs or assistants unlike at someone's house.
I told you. Take off your shoes!
Oh...
Well then, you two take it easy.
Eh, wait... Huh? Konno-san?
I'll go buy drinks. I only have chu-highs. [TN: Highballs made of shochu.]
In the meantime, hurry up and make up, okay?
Ah, hey! Wait...
Give me a break. Leaving us alone?
It's awkward.
Don't expect anything good.
Okay.
I'm hungry...
Ouch.
What am I doing?
Making dinner for someone who spoke to me so rudely.
That's dangerous!
What is it?
Well...
It's my first time seeing someone cooking.
I told you I'm not making anything that impressive.
That's dirty.
I'm going to wash it.
Uwah.
Uwah, uwah, uwah, uwah...
Uwah.
Why don't you put them in at the same time?
Because they heat up differently.
If I put them all in they'd get gooey, right?
So deep!
That's amazing.
Is this magic?
He really is an odd guy.
Pay no mind to things like this!
He acts all great while he sits back.
He acts like a child.
It's too miraculous!
He suddenly says weird things.
Am I not good enough?
Hey...
What did you mean by that earlier?
Hm?
When you said "am I not good enough?"
Oh, uh...
That was, well...
What?
I mean...
Can't you... and I...
I...
I'm back!
Did you make up?
No, uh...
I told you, it's not like that!
Mmm!
Otocchi!
The seasoning on this veggie stir fry is great!
Quickly eat up, Harutocchi.
No...
I've only ever eaten food made by a chef...
Never mind, just hurry up and eat!
Konno-san...
I told you, I can't say it'll taste good.
Yum!
That's good then.
Yum...
YUM!
Yeah!
Good, good!
Watching young people eat heartily is so relaxing.
It's delicious, isn't it?
Otocchi, you're a genius.
It's delicious.
It's too delicious.
If you want seconds, just help yourself to as much as you want.
Is that okay?
Sure!
- Ah! - Ehh? What?
Ah... My leg...
Don't tell me... it went numb?
What? You're so weak!
Shuddup!
Damn it.
At this rate...
I'll never be able to get seconds.
Come on. You've been exaggerating about every single thing!
Don't laugh, idiot!
Go on, stand up!
You can do it! You can do it!
Ahh, it's hurts!
- You can do it! - Ahhh!
Seconds... Seconds...
- This? - Yup.
You didn't have to see me off.
No...
We haven't talked about it yet.
Huh?
You know, from before.
Oh.
The "am I not good enough?" thing?
I understood it so it's fine.
Huh?
You're comparing him and yourself, right?
How did you know?
Well, I know you're conscious of it.
Even though you'll never win, or even be a match for him.
You didn't have to put it so bluntly.
No, you said it all yourself, didn't you?
I don't know that much about that person.
What?
No, you know him well, don't you?
I told you, I don't really know about Domyouji-san!
Huh?
You mentioned him before.
The F4's... Domyouji-san, right?
That one?
Well, I understand.
How it feels to compare yourself to someone perfect.
It's the same for me.
Hey...
Would you mean...?
Yeah.
Tenma-kun.
He's enduring so much for me.
My mother and Tenma-kun's late mother
were close friends since their school days.
Every 4th Sunday, we would all eat together.
As a trace of that, I still meet with him every 4th Sunday now.
Back then...
I looked forward to seeing Tenma-kun.
I've loved him ever since we met.
I guess it's what you'd call a 'first love'.
I used to be able to smile normally in front of Tenma-kun.
But...
Since my dad's company went bankrupt,
and the ordinary stopped being ordinary,
I started thinking "ah... these clothes cost more than a month's pay..."
Or "how much did I just get treated for?"
I feel bad for Tenma-kun.
Being held down by a promise with his late mother.
But...
It's true that our engagement
is the only way to save my family...
Sorry.
I ended up just talking about myself.
Don't be.
It's strange.
I've never talked about this with anyone before.
If it were me...
I wouldn't make you feel that way.
Huh?
I wouldn't make you worry.
I wouldn't make you feel bad for me.
Probably.
Huh?
Because Kaguragi, you're obviously a clumsy person.
What?
Don't mess with me.
I'll become a perfect guy who won't lose to him.
Isn't it fine?
Even if you're not perfect.
Huh?
You're frantically trying to become perfect.
That kind of Kaguragi
must have his own good points.
My own...?
You know,
if you take muddy vegetables, wash them and cook them carefully,
you'll get a delicious veggie stir fry.
Just like that.
You too...
You're not perfect...
But your food is good.
Huh?
Cause you can make octopuses out of wieners!
What's up with that?
Thank you for seeing me home.
Look...
You know...
That thing.
The other day, at Domyouji-san's house.
Ah.
Are you thinking you said something mean to me?
G-Got a problem with that?
It's fine already!
It really is a pathetic life,
that you'd want to criticise.
Well...
See you tomorrow, at school.
Edogawa!
I promise.
I...
I won't peasant hunt you.
Huh?
You're the exception.
So...
Don't tell me not to get involved with you.
Don't say I don't have anything to do with your life.
Okay.
What an odd guy.
Oh, you're here.
Don't call me for every single thing. We'll see each other at school, right?
I can't say this if the others are here.
Sorry.
You were right.
I love Edogawa Oto.
I told you, that girl is Hase Tenma's--
I'll become the finest vegetable stir fry there is.
What?
Whether he's her fiance or not doesn't matter.
I definitely won't lose.
I'll definitely make Edogawa look my way.
I won't waver anymore.
I thought you weren't going to get hung up on some woman?
Who would follow a leader who can't have a decent romance?
So it's useless no matter what I say?
Yeah.
I've made up my mind.
You've been in a good mood all morning, Oto-chan.
You think so?
See, look!
Even the octopuses are smiling!
So this is how good it feels to not have to be afraid!
Huh?
[Class 2-D Edogawa Oto is a secret peasant.] Huh?
[Class 2-D Edogawa Oto is a secret peasant.]
I'll never forgive you.
Kaguragi...
Why?
