I'm home!
Welcome home.
Playing games again?
Your eyesight will go bad. Do your homework.
Won't your eyesight go bad because of studying, too?
If you keep on talking back you'll have cavities!
Miki! Uniform!
She went somewhere.
Yes? Hello?
Nee-chan, it's me, it's me, Makoto.
Even if you don't say it, I know.
You're in a bad mood. Do you hate me that much?
I don't have time to deal with you right now. What is it?
Is everything going well with Nii-san?
At this point, it's not good or bad.
What is it, so suddenly?
Ah, well, coz' Miki was crying.
M-miki was...
crying?
I was surprised!
She suddenly started wailing.
W-well, that might mean she really relies on me but...
Initial Medical Examination?
I-initial Medical Examination?
Ah. Is this your first time here?
Hai.
Then, insurance card, please.
Insurance card?
I don't have one.
If you don't have it, you'll be charged the full amount...
Its fine, after all.
Hai?
I'm sorry.
I'll come again.
What are you doing?
I wonder... If this is something we shouldn't do.
Miki
Hello.
Kiri-chan? It's me.
You want something?
Kind of.
What is it?
Uh... "What," you say, nothing really, but...
Sorry, my home tutor is coming.
Ah, I see.
Studies are harsh right now...
I'm a 3rd year so I just have to do it.
I got it.
Then, next time.
I'm an insignificant person but...
That's not true.
After all, Kiri-chan is capable, unlike me..
Do your best.
But...
If it's just for awhile, then it's alright.
It's ok. It's ok. It's not a big deal.
You know, my bangs have grown.
I just wanted to ask whether I should cut it or not.
Whichever will look good on you.
That's true.
I have to think for myself, right?
Yeah.
Bye now.
Where did you go?
You left your uniform lying around.
CD Store. I was looking for a song for the broadcasting club.
Ah, really?
Was there a good song?
Kind of.
Miki! Miki! Pour me some beer! Here.
Me again?
Yeah.
Sometimes ask Kenta to do it.
Don't be so cold.
Hey, when you were little, you said you were gonna be Father's bride.
I don't remember that.
What's that...
Ah, Miki!
Aren't you eating?
Leave her alone, she's on a rebellious stage.
You, too.
Ah, delicious.
Then, let's eat.
Let's eat. Itadakimasu.
Looks delicious.
Eh?
No one's saying it, so I'll say it myself.
Looks delicious!!
Too slow!
Looks delicious!
This became the last peaceful night of our family.
Miki, ever since you were born, I was already prepared.
That a day will come when you'll grow up and fall inlove.
And a day when you'll leave this house.
I'm off!
Have a nice day!
I'm off.
But who would've thought...
that those days would come this soon.
Eh? 24 points?

Episode 02: "You're no longer my daughter!"
Ready to air in 5 seconds 4, 3, 2, 1.
Oi! Ichinose Miki!
Huh?
Good morning girls!
Good morning all. This is your Wednesday Morning broadcast.
Today's weather forecast: Cloudy but will occasionally clear up.
But, later in the day, we'll have rain.
Honestly, the autumn weather is being ambiguous.
It's not really because of that, but
I'm confused if I should cut my hair or not.
Satoshi!
Do your best!
At times like this, I want to ask somebody, "What should I do?"
but I have to at least decide for myself, what I'm going to do with my hair.
That's how it is. So let's start it off with this song.
Once the broadcast is over, Class Presidents, please start your homeroom.
You scared me there.
Sorry... My spirit left me for a minute there.
That's okay, but lately aren't you strange?
It's bad, right? Coz' this is the only thing I can do, right?
How suspicious.
You're hiding something.
Huh?
You said you're always gonna tell me everything!
Wait! Stop it!
Yes?
Yanagizawa-san?
Sorry, but... will you hurry and stop playing this song please?
Why?
Don't ask, I told you to hurry and stop it!
I heard you were warned by the Principal.
He said "Why don't you try and enter the student's hearts?"
The Principal is worried.
I'm worried, too.
Whether you'll be able to overcome that.
Stop it!
Yanagizawa-san!
Coz' you won't stop playing it!
It's absurd to ask that without giving a reason!
If I give you a reason, will you be satisfied?
Then, I'll give you one.
The guy I used to like listen to this song all the time.
I don't know what kind of rumors you guys have heard,
but I don't want to remember anymore!
It's none of our business!
That's true.
People like you...
who asks with an adult's face, but,
essentially just thinking of their own good,
will never seriously love anyone forever, right?
What are you doing!!
That hurt, you know.
Yanagizawa-san!
Stop it!!
What are you doing?
What are you-
Excuse me. I'm very sorry.
Ah, ah, ah, are you okay?
Chief, you look a little pale today.
Sorry. I was in a daze.
Is there anything wrong? Has something happened?
Ah, just a little something with my daughter.
How about a refill?
Today the service is really good, huh?
I just thought, you might be calling out soon.
Thank you.
And what happened afterwards? With your daughter.
Eh?
"Although my oldest girl is a junior high school student,
I haven't the slightest idea what she's thinking."
Ah...
It's still the same. I still don't know what she's thinking.
It's not that you don't know,
you probably don't want to know?
No, no.
These days, all Japanese children,
are more of an adult than what their parents think.
They tell lies, and they know how to be cunning and nasty.
But you don't want to accept that.
Maybe you want to think of them as being lovely angels forever?
That's not...
Then, how about questioning her without fear?
Ask "What in the world are you thinking?"
Maybe something will come out, one that will weaken your knees.
"Pregnancy Test"
Please don't say such rude things!
Miki's School
Ah, Endou-sensei...
Eh?
Miki did?
Excuse me, it's Mrs. Ichinose.
Come in.
Thank you for coming.
Miki!
They won't tell us why they were fighting.
I'm very sorry.
Miki!
Why were you fighting...
Say something.
You're acting strange, after all.
Is there something wrong at home, too?
Ah... no.
Nothing really worth talking about...
In any case, apologize to your teacher and your friend.
Miki...
That's okay, it doesn't matter.
We're not friends after all.
Ma'am, today, it's alright if you take her home already.
It's not our intention to blow this out of proportion.
Thank you.
Ichinose-san.
Tomorrow, you can have a change of heart and go back to school, right?
Miki!
I'm really very sorry.
Take care.
Sensei, you've really changed.
What are you talking about, Yanagizawa?
Back then, you're practically a different person.
Is that right?
I'm like this from the start.
Wait, Miki!
Why didn't you say anything?
I'm always telling you, right? To take responsibility for your own actions?
It's not a big deal. She...
When I tried to stop Yanagizawa-san from tossing a CD, this happened.
I just didn't want to tattle to the teacher.
I see.
Good enough, right?
Wait!
I want to ask you something, Miki.
What...
is this?
Why do you have something like this?
I was shocked.
Because this...
Right?
Did you... buy this?
Then who bought it?
A friend?
Ah, maybe it was that Yanagizawa-san person from before?
Not bought...
Shoplifted.
Eh?
Stolen...
From a drug store.
By no one else...
But me...
Wh... Why?
Isn't that obvious?
I wanted to find out if I was pregnant or not.
Aren't you gonna ask, Mom?
If I'm pregnant or not?
No way...
Just a minute, Miki.
"Pregnant..."
Do you know how to...
become pregnant?
But...
you're just a junior high student...
Could it be that...
someone forced you?
Hey... tell me.
No need to hide it from me.
I wasn't!!
I wasn't... I wasn't... I wasn't...
I have...
someone I love.
That's why...
I'm having a baby...
I guess the reason for your youthfulness is your work after all.
Youthfulness? I'm only 33 years old.
Exactly.
You're good! You pass!
Ah, Satoshi. Good morning.
My son.
Excuse us.
Sorry, being so early.
Hello.
They're from the weekly newspaper.
They're here to interview the President for the whole day
My regards.
A good son, isn't he?
Keio Academy, right?
Impressive!
As a single mother, it was pretty hard to raise him up to be this way.
Satoshi, I made breakfast for you.
Eh, how wonderful!
She was able to succeed and she can even prepare breakfast!
Maybe I should take my baby from my wife.
Take it! Take it!
Of course! In short, having a father or not has no relation with the growth of a child.
There's a lot of kids who do stupid things yet they have both parents.
Ah, no, should I say,
more children who do outrageous things have both parents.
Then, President Kirino, as his mother,
what kind of man would you want your handsome son to become?
Let's see.
Hey, Satoshi...
How should I answer?
Something big will trouble you, right?
Say Prime Minister.
Eh?
Are you sure?
Since, I won't be able to live up to your expectations anyway.
Thank you for the food.
I'm off.
Full of promise, isn't he?
As expected of my son, right?
That's true.
"Ikuwaba Clinic Obstetrics - Gynecology"
It's alright.
This is where you were born.
Let's go.
"Ikuwaba Clinic Obstetrics - Gynecology"
Ichinose-san, come in.
Excuse us.
Yes!
Doctor, it's been awhile.
Oh!
Your baby from that time?
Yes.
Uwaa.. Couldn't recognize you!
You were my 2200th premature baby, right?
Hello...
This is good!
You've been a good mother.
This child properly has a soul inside her.
Sometimes there are kids that has physically grown, but not emotionally.
They have nothing to say and nothing they want to do. Only sadness.
But this child is just fine.
Thank you very much.
Yes! And, why are you here today?
Yes. Ummm...
Please examine me.
I...
think I'm going to have a baby.
I'm sorry, well...
Hmm. All right.
Then, would you wait outside?
No, but...
After all, it's for her privacy.
Right?
Yes.
Here, go ahead.
Please.
Go ahead.
"Pelvic Examination Room"
Go ahead.
Okay, have a seat, please.
It's certainly there, huh?
This is the baby inside your belly.
You're nine weeks along.
Will you understand if I say you're 3 months pregnant?
Eh?
3 months?
That can't be.
Um, I...
I did it July 13th.
Just once.
Since you're a woman, understand this.
The number of weeks into a pregnancy,
is calculated from the number of days since your last menstrual period.
Then if it happened in July, then the calculation is just right.
Ahh...
July 13th, huh?
You remember it well, don't you?
Yes.
Then you were in union through love, right?
But I bet you never could've imagined that you'd become pregnant, right?
Have you told him already?
Right now his studies are tough...
But isn't it strange to bear it all by yourself?
Coz' you can't make a baby by yourself.
Besides,
since its the woman who will experience physical pain,
the male partner has to firmly support her emotionally.
Painful...
experience?
I'll explain this as a doctor.
Once you become pregnant, in the event you don't want the child,
you can request to receive an artificial abortion procedure.
In order to not burden the mother's body,
it's best to do this as early as possible or before 12 weeks of pregnancy.
In addition,
in the event of abortion,
a letter of consent is required from the father.
Doctor.
What is it?
Can't I give birth?
If a 14-year old gives birth...
is that a sin?
No.
To give birth to a child,
no matter what age... is not a sin.
But even if one did give birth,
but couldn't raise the baby, then,
wouldn't that be a sin?
Can you and your boyfriend raise it?
You don't have much time but,
discuss it well with your mother and father.
Talking about that with your parents will probably be hard, but...
since you're 14 years old,
still a minor.
So this baby,
isn't just yours,
this is your family's baby, too.
Mom...
Mom!
Say something.
It's ok if you want to get angry.
Say something...
Miki...
Why...
You're... Still too...
Miki...
Why...
It's a joke, right?
Right?
You're just trying to scare me, right?
No.
"No?" What's wrong with you?
It's impossible.
Of all the things to say...
Miki is...
Preg...
Preg...?
"Proof of Pregnancy Ichinose Miki"
What is this?
For a joke, isn't this too much?
Right, Miki?
It's hot.
And it's September already...
WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?!
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
It's not true after all.
Coz' Miki's still this...
This..
She's 3 months along now.
The Doctor said...
If she's going to have an abortion, we should hurry.
Has this been reported to the police yet?
Police?
A junior high school student couldn't have...
...possibly agreed.
That's not it, Dad...
Mom asked the same question but...
But I...
I wasn't forced...
How pitiful...
Were you told to say that?
Dang!
Miki.
Who was it?
Who on earth is he?
Where's the guy?
Tell us, Miki.
You can't keep quiet.
Kirino-kun.
Don't give me that 'kun' thing!
Say his full name!!
Kirino Satoshi.
Age?
One year older.
Same cram school.
Same cram school, huh?
He's just a child!
Alright.
Tell him to come here.
Right now, tell him.
Eh?
I'll talk to him,
I'll make him take responsibility like a man.
WHY NOT?!!
If its about responsibility...
I have it, too...
Trying to protect him?!
That man?!
Anyone who does this,
to a 14 year old girl is not a decent man!
That's not true.
Open your eyes, okay?
Wake up already, Miki!
That guy, if you're important to him,
and if he seriously loves you,
this wouldn't have happened...
That's not true!
We...
love each other, that's why this happened...
"We?"
How can a 14 or 15 year old seriously fall inlove?!
Why are you assuming that?
Because I know!
You're just confused!
Hallucination!
Make-believe!
Stop it!
You'll never understand!
Miki!
Miki!!
Let her go!!
She's no longer my daughter!
What did I do wrong...
Eh?
Even if I'm like this, for your sake...
I worked so feverishly.
Being complained to by a supervisor who's only interested in promotion...
I did without overtime pay,
and went to work on holidays.
So what was it I did wrong?!
No one said you've done anything wrong.
Okay. We're going out.
Where to?
We'll meet his parents.
The cram school should know his address.
I'll ask.
W-wait!
What?
Without telling Miki?
This is for her sake.
I'll say what I have to say,
first hand is sure to win. Let's go!
You're just confused!
Hallucination!
Make-believe!
How can a 14 or 15 year old seriously fall inlove?!
Miki
Please leave your name, phone number and message after the beep.
Hello, it's Miki.
Sorry for calling this much.
I need to talk to you no matter what.
I'll be waiting where Jimi is.
Welcome.
Ah, Miki!
Welcome!
Miki-chan....
Dog over uncle, huh?
I'm sorry, Uncle.
I'm always under your care.
What...
Gives me the creeps...

"You have one new message."
"Aoi Seminar"
I asked a kid from the same school.
It seems its at Higashigaoka.
What? Hurry and go.
Hai.
Thank you very much!
Good job!
We got a good interview!
I'll do anything for publicity.
Thank you very much.
Good job. Thanks. Bye.
Thanks for your hard work.

Yeah?
Chief Editor
Ah, what's up?
The interview's done.
Eh... what interview was that?
What are you saying?
Kirino Shizuka's close-up!
Ah.
That poison-tongued old lady, huh.
She says what she likes,
so it's quite interesting.
"Kirino Shizuka" "Let's live without losing to life"
That aside, when you get back can you help out with the Special Edition?
Nothing interesting is coming up.
Yeah, counting on you. Yeah, good job!
This is no good.

you have to write articles that make them salivate with curiosity. We're running out of time.
Alright!
Well?
Genius, right?
Hey.
Umm.. You may use this for your broadcasting club's theme song.
Umm... don't ignore me.
Wasn't talking your only merit!
"I need to talk to you no matter what."
"I'll be waiting where Jimi is."
I'm home!
Huh?
Taking a break?
If that's the case, let's eat?
Since we had sushi yesterday, then today unajuu would be good, huh?
Yeah.
Eat, have a bath, then just work hard again.
Satoshi, isn't your hair getting long?
Get it cut tomorrow.
I'll reserve a spot for you at your usual salon, okay?
Here.
It's okay to take that little of a break.
Since you normally do what you're supposed to, anyway.
I'm not.
Eh?
Satoshi, wait. Where are you going?
Does it matter?
What's with that tone?
Even I'm..
not always what you want me to be.
Wait!
Satoshi.
I'm different from the incompetent housewives around here.
I want to see you raised much better than anyone else.
So you can look down on Papa, right?
It's for that reason you've worked yourself to a sweat, isn't it?
I...
am not going to be a wonderful man.
Because, I can't even decide for myself whether I get my hair cut or not.
I've never done anything that I'm supposed to.
Sa-
Kirino
What is this? Living so well...
I'm pressing it.
Be ready.
Yes.
Kirino
Who's there?
Ah... Um... We are...
If its sales, don't bother, I don't waste my money.
We're the Ichinose family.
We came regarding our daughter and your son, Satoshi-kun.
Satoshi?
I'm sorry, Mom...
I've made you worry...
But..
I wanted to see Kiri-chan...
And..
I really wanted to tell him no matter what...
What did you want to talk about?
Yeah.
It's sudden, but...
I...
love you.
This really is sudden.
How about you?
Miki!
I'm the father of the baby.
Take that back.
Raising up a child is for a lifetime.
Anyway, hurry and have an abortion.
Wait just one day.
I want to talk to you.
Come with me.
I..
want to give birth.
You did something you can't tell people about, right?
Daughter being pregnant while in Junior High School. And the parents are no better.
Are you happy?
Are you glad you married?
I think I won't be able to forget.
To forget is like losing my love for Kiri-chan.
