"Lightning Strikes related to Ken-no-Misaki?"
Sw... Sw...
Swallows... swallow...
"The swallows and sparrows know not the thoughts of geese and swans.
Small birds like swallows and sparrows do not understand what larger birds are thinking.
In the same way,
a small person cannot understand the thoughts and plans of a
great one"?
Is this...?
"Lightning Strikes related to Ken-no-Misaki?"
I have to tell the others.
I see. Understood.
The media's found out about it.
Yeah, this is a problem.
I want you to put this fire out before it gets bigger.
Yeah. Feel free to get a little rough.
"Episode 8: The Swallows and Sparrows Know Not"
Mio.
How's school going? Is it fun?
Yes. The classes are tough,
but my club's a lot of fun.
I see.
Umm... I have a proposal for you.
Would you be interested in going to an international school?
Things around here are going to be really busy.
I've actually got all the paperwork ready.
You can't...
This is so sudden!
You'll be starting next week in an American school.
You can't do that!
I want to stay here... in Sakaimachi...
The decision's already been made.
My head hurts...
Is it because of that hypnosis-like stuff last night?
Morning.
Hangover?
Of course not!
Yeah, this isn't going to work.
I'm going home.
That's a shame...
I thought this would be a great chance
to try out my secret, special headache-curing massage.
Secret special massage?!
It might make your whole body feel better, not just your head...
How about it?
I'm in, of course!
Let's do this!
Let's head to the bed in the nurse's office.
I found it in the principal's closet.
I'll put it back when we're done, so don't tell him about it.
Is that why it's secret?
Anyway...
Eriko-sensei, have you ever heard of something like Nai-herb? Or al-hab?
Niarb?
Yeah, that's it.
Niarb.
It's a type of hypnosis.
A type?
What separates it from regular hypnosis
is that your normal consciousness remains awake.
It's a state of hypnosis where since you're awake,
you don't realize you're being controlled.
Come in.
Oh, Hatano-kun?
I'm not feeling well.
Please let me rest here for a while.
How about a special massage, Kanna-chan?
I'll pass.
Oh yeah? How about a super great hyper massage, then?
Sheesh...
That didn't make me feel better at all.
What's not feeling better?
Mitsuki-san?
One part of me is feeling better now.
Your crotch, right?
That's my Mitsuki-san.
You know how I think.
Did you look into what I asked you to?
Yeah.
Mitsuki-san, you said your head hurt yesterday, right?
Yes. Why?
It's possible that both you and I were hypnotized by Ryuzoji-sensei.
He hypnotized us?
That's ridiculous.
You're the person you always are right now, right?
Of course.
But you feel different than before.
Like you're another person, from another world.
Well, that's because I was a virgin before I met you.
Sex changes a boy, you know?
Is that really true, I wonder?
Hey, how are things with you and that girl?
Shimazu-san?
She hates me now.
After that, she started calling me "walking libido."
Crap! I've gotta get to class.
If I'm late, she'll yell at me again.
I'll get in touch with you later about Ryuzoji.
Okay.
Thanks.
What's wrong?
You look down, Shimazu-san.
It's nothing.
If you're having problems, leave it to me!
Especially romance problems!
It's not like that, but sure, maybe I can tell you.
Of course!
Do you have some time too, Arima-kun?
For what?
I want to go to Mt. Sankaku and check it out.
Sometime in the next week.
Stop by my place on your way home.
I discovered something about that tapestry from yesterday.
But why does it have to be within a week?
I want to solve the mystery of Mt. Sankaku as soon as possible!
It's better to stay from that mountain.
Why?
Do you know something about Mt. Sankaku?
Okay, sit down everybody.
"Summer School Math 3"
You're doing something special today.
It's not like yesterday where you just turn it in fast and you're done.
You're doing it over and over again until you get every problem right.
Got it, Arima?
Sure, Sensei...
How?
Ok, see you later!
This is going to take forever...
It'll take forever!
Boss!
He'll be busy for a while.
Let's leave without him.
Okay.
You've sure spent a lot of time on this, huh?
Dr. Arima's book, Legacy,
said that the secrets of the Takanoamahara people
could be found here in Sakaimachi, right?
Yeah.
The book didn't refer to a specific location.
"An Introduction to the Takanoamahara People"
But if you read it closely, there's one location that suggests itself.
Where's that?
Ken-no-Misaki. Mt. Sankaku.
Remember Futago Rock?
Before I remember that big round rock,
there are some other big round things I'd have to see.
I need a good look...
Stop messing around.
I said this before,
but there's a good chance that the writing on Futago Rock is 8,000 years old.
I think it might have been written by the Takanoamahara People.
The Takanoamahara People?
What's wrong, Arima-kun?
Nothing... I was just wondering if any of the Takanoamahara people were blonde girls.
Blonde? You mean European?
That's right. And maybe they had pointy ears?
Ears...?
And were stark naked!
You're disgusting!
"With the Most Beloved"
Yes.
You're still home?
What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
I had something to do.
Hey, you're supposed to be with me today, right?
Answer me.
If you're not coming here, I can go to you.
Hey, are you listening?
Understood.
I'll be right over.
Anyway, I'm sure there's something at Mt. Sankaku.
The tapestry I saw at Principal Ryuzoji's house yesterday proves it!
That thing?
Look at this!
Don't you think it reminds you of the lightning strikes on the coast?
I guess... now that you mention it.
Remember what you said? That this was some kind of symbol.
Symbol of what, I don't know.
And that's what we're going to find out!
I'm going to get ready. Give me a minute.
Take your time.
Mio, do you have a second?
Hey...
Somebody's at the door...
What's wrong?
Did something happen, Mio?
Did I just hear a boy's voice?
Mio, I'm coming inside!
It's nothing, Dad!
Just a cockroach!
That hurt!
How many times have you hit me today?
Whose voice is that?
Is there a boy in there?
No, it was my voice!
Arima-kun, if my dad finds you you're done for!
If he finds out I let a boy into my room, he'll kill you!
--Just get out of here...
--Mio, move! --Just get out of here...
Open the door, now!
Wait, Dad!
I'm getting dressed!
Move!
No!
I said move!
I think someone's at the door, Dad!
I'm fine, so go answer it!
But...
I'll be back in a minute!
Stay put!
Now! Run!
Go to Mt. Sankaku and wait for me!
But this is the second floor...
Hurry!
Hello?
My name is Yuki!
I go to Sakaimachi Academy along with Mio-san...
Thanks!
Leave.
That was Yuki?
Whew.
Arima-kun, I made it.
You forgot your shoes.
Forget that. What are you carrying?
We're digging!
Look at this.
That's the drawing you made.
What is this part... this hole in the tower?
If it's really a tower, then that would be the entrance.
Yeah.
I think there's an entrance around here.
But do you really think there's anything left to be found here?
Nobody else in his field believed Dr. Arima, right?
It's possible that his research was just ignored and never widely published.
I don't know...
Well, even if he did tell people that the secrets of the Takanoamahara people
were hidden in Mt. Sankaku,
they'd just laugh at him.
Wouldn't it be faster to just say the magic words to open the door?
I would, if we knew them.
Munyah munyah, open sesame!
I knew it!
Arima-kun!
What is it?
The sound it makes here is different.
Look, here!
Mio!
Did you sprain it?
I'm okay.
It's nothing.
You can't do this with that ankle.
I'm fine! It's nothing!
Mio!
Don't force yourself to do this.
We should go home for today.
We can come back tomorrow.
Yeah...
You've put on weight, haven't you?
I have not!
I'm kidding.
What?
They're about an 83, or an 84.
Your breasts.
Let me down!
Don't fidget!
Does your ankle hurt?
A little.
Will you be okay until we get to the nurse's office?
Yeah.
Arima-kun, I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it.
Eriko-sensei?
Well, she wouldn't be here at this hour.
You can do anything, huh, Arima-kun?
My dad taught me when I was little.
Boss... Shimazu-san...
Where did you go?
Let's go home.
What's wrong? Why are you staring at the sky?
When I look into the starry sky,
it makes me realize how small I am.
What's this about?
If something's bothering you, tell me.
I might not be as good as the starry sky,
but maybe I can make you feel a little better.
My dad's involved in some kind of corruption.
You mean...
Something involving the Geotech construction project.
I'm probably leaving Sakaimachi.
My dad's telling me I need to study overseas.
But you've got nothing to do with it!
It's your dad's problem!
Thank you...
If only everybody was like you, Arima-kun.
Oh?
I came because I heard some voices...
Am I interrupting something?
No, but you're not welcome, either.
Sorry.
But I'm glad I didn't catch you in the middle of something.
I wouldn't do anything so disgusting.
Unlike a certain someone.
Oh? Is it "disgusting" to share your love with someone?
I'm sorry.
But I'm sure that 6 months ago, that's how it looked to you.
You even came to me after that and told me to break up with Arima-kun.
How could you say that? You promised not to tell him!
But I think it's better that he know.
What does that mean?
You like Arima-kun, don't you?
Don't be ridiculous!
How could I love a walking libido like this guy?
I'm right, aren't I?
The fact that you're getting so emotional proves it.
Anyway, it's late.
Takuya, take her home.
Sorry... I guess...
It's fine.
I can't believe you!
I can't believe you'd do something like this!
"We denounce Mayor Shimazu!!"
