BULLY RESCUE! MR. IGUCHI
BROUHAHA
What? Ikuta-senpai asked you out?
Yeah, yesterday.
Oh, gosh! Guys, look at this!
Hey, give me back my phone, Chinatsu!
Catch me if you can!
Hey, you gotta watch where you're going when you walk.
It was you, Mr. Iguchi. Don't scare me.
It was me who was scared.
It's been six months since our homeroom teacher, Mr. Iguchi, arrived at school.
Looks like the students have warmed up to him.
They still get scared, just for a second, though.
Now he seems to have another issue.
The students have warmed up to me, but I have another problem.
He's breathing heavily.
Stop it, or you'll have to gain their trust all over again.
I'm really concerned about you...
Nendou-kun!
-That guy, again. -What should I do?
Let's kick him out.
How can I rescue him from bullying?
Huh?
I've been watching over this class, and I am so certain
that Nendou-kun is bullied by several students,
because nobody tries to get close to him.
They just don't like him.
And I've heard other students talking bad about him.
-Isn't Nendou dumb? -He really is.
It's a mere fact.
And his hair! It's not normal to have a hairstyle like that.
Who did that to him?
He did.
His chin is always swollen. Someone must be practicing uppercuts on him.
It's a dimpled chin.
Who is bullying him? I have to find proof!
He's too engaged in his work to see objectively.
I have to keep an eye on him.
Hey, Nendou.
Your face looks dumb, as usual.
Did you see the morning news?
Kaidou-kun and Kuboyasu-kun. Are they his friends?
Kaidou-kun is one of the smartest kids. Maybe he's venting his frustration on him.
Impossible.
Kuboyasu-kun is nice and polite, but he might've been a bad student before.
Possible.
Kaidou-kun's hand is always bandaged. Like a boxer!
Is it Kaidou-kun who's been practicing uppercuts on him?
As I said, impossible.
Is Kuboyasu-kun also involved? Don't gang members often rest like that?
So was he a gang member before transferring here?
As I said, it's possible.
I don't want to suspect my students, but I need to observe them for Nendou-kun
before it's too late.
What?
They left once they noticed that I was watching them.
Are they hiding something from me?
Most people would leave if you stared at them that way.
They are suspicious.
What's that?
You are suspicious.
It's horrifying! Please go and get the teachers now!
So suspicious!
Hi, Kaidou-kun and Kuboyasu-kun.
Teruhashi-san!
She's the most popular girl at PK Academy. There's even her fan club, "Kokomin's."
Looks like they're getting along with her.
See ya!
I appear to make everyone happy by performing as the perfect pretty girl.
We appreciate that.
Hey, what's up?
Greeting someone?
Who is that?
Hey, Kuboyasu-kun and Kaidou-kun!
Hairo-kun! He is our class president! He is one of the best honor students!
Right, those three are good friends.
There is no way that Hairo-kun bullies anyone or wouldn't stop bullies.
What a relief. I just misunderstood.
Nendou is...
Did they say "Nendou"? I can't hear well. I gotta get closer to them.
He was disappointed that he wasn't able to play against you in the PE class.
That basketball game.
Just pretend like I'm passing by.
Tell Nendou-kun,
"Come see me in the gym during a recess. I'll beat you."
What's this picture?
I can't believe Hairo-kun is also a bully. I had no idea...
I'm no longer qualified as a teacher.
What's wrong, Mr. Iguchi?
-Nothing! -There's definitely something wrong!
He's causing too many misunderstandings.
Are you sure about this? You can't believe your own students?
Believe them or not, not seeing the truth is the same as escaping from it.
What? It's locked!
-I locked the door to keep everyone out. -Bring it on!
Oh, no! The key is in the school office.
What's that sound? I know! It's the rhythmic sound
-of Nendou-kun's chin being punched. -What kind of chin?
It's obviously the sound of a basketball.
Well, maybe I should unlock the door.
-Damn, you've got one. -The game has just begun.
What?
What's wrong?
It's open!
What are you guys doing?
Mr. Iguchi?
They're bullying him!
Have it your way.
Later, his misunderstandings were all cleared up.
SUDDENLY BEGINS! REAL REAL ESCAPE ROOM
Real escape room?
Players solve mysteries in a closed room in order to escape from the room.
ESCAPE FROM UNDERGROUND MAZE
There's an event nearby. Want to go?
That sounds fun!
I see. So you need to use your brain. I understand why he is not involved.
-That's the brain I want. -Congrats. You solved the first mystery.
-Do you need me? -No! Stay away!
Let him join. It's none of my business, though.
Each team needs four players.
Sorry, but Nendou can't do this.
-A mutt would be better. Right, Saiki? -I have to figure out
how to escape from this team.
-Can't Saiki come? -Seriously?
Gotta find someone else.
-Do you need me? -No! We don't!
You shut up and stay there! Saiki, don't!
Hey, that sounds fun. Let's go!
-But... Yeah... -He is a perfect fit.
-Want to go to karaoke. -Whatever. Wait! What?
TEMPLATE CONVO
One has to be a dumb. It's a template for a group.
-Do you know where it is? -Yeah, there's a map on this.
-Let's go, then. -Follow me.
Oh well. I managed to escape.
There's no way that a psychic like me can enjoy that kind of game.
As far as I can teleport, Escape Room is nothing but a joke.
Welcome home, Ku-chan!
I guess they must have just started playing Escape Room.
Let's peek at them with my second sight.
Yes, they're playing.
-Stop it! -Let me out here!
I don't think they're supposed to play like that.
-Is anybody there? -Hey, help us!
-I can't open this! -Anybody?
It can't be...
I can't believe this!
Excuse me! Anybody out there?
This emergency button is not working.
My cell has no signal.
We're stuck in here! In this elevator!
Real Real Escape Room starts now.
Well, it's still early. They will be rescued soon.
Wait. Why are they in such a derelict building?
Not a single person around. The event venue should not be there.
It should be alright. The event will be held in this building. Someone should...
Kaidou-kun, about that. Aren't we in the wrong place?
We just followed you here, but you aren't good with directions.
-How can you say that? -Because we didn't see anyone on our way.
We saw dogs!
Yeah, bunch of stray dogs. Isn't it strange to see them on the streets?
Right. I didn't feel right when we passed four "No Entry" signs in a row.
Why did you keep going?
-That means-- -It could be days before someone finds us.
Help!
-Anybody there? -Anybody?
Don't be fussy.
Being fussy doesn't get you anywhere. Let's find a solution.
Nendou...
He is so calm...
He's so reliable, like when we were on that deserted island. So glad he came.
Anyway, can I poo here? I can't hold it any longer.
-Poo? -Yeah, holding it in since fourth period.
Help!
-Seriously! -Don't shake that. I can't hold it.
-Why didn't you go to the toilet? -Make it pee instead!
Well, even if I try to bring help using telepathy, nobody is around.
The elevator was already out of order, so restoring time won't work either.
Well, let them help themselves.
I can give you a hand.
-Shit! It can't be opened! -Hey, don't say "shit."
If I had a pry bar...
That's too convenient to think...
There is...
-A pry bar? -Why is it here?
Who cares? We can use this to open the door!
Let's do this!
I found a 1,000-yen bill under the carpet, so I teleported a pry bar.
-It's open! Let's get out! -No, it's blocked by the wall!
The trapdoor is closed. And it's too tight to squeeze through.
Hey, there's something under the door.
What's that? Let me get on your shoulders to see it.
It must be a device to open the door. But seems like it requires a passcode.
But we don't know the passcode.
Why did they place the device up there? What should we do?
Hey, look! The buttons are flashing! Is that because we broke the door open?
-That's scary! -Is it a bug?
Four, four, one, two, four, four, one, two. I knew it! It's the passcode!
Of course, it was me.
-It's open! -Hairo, you did it!
Got access to the outside now.
-But how can we get out? -Yeah, it's too tight to get through.
If we could get out from there...
We've already tried that. It can't be opened from inside.
-What are you eating? That's mine! -It's over now.
Screw you! Don't you understand how important food is?
I'm disappointed in you!
-Just give me the bag. I can poo in it. -No! Don't do that!
What? There's something up there.
The smell of the chips must have lured them!
FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY
Yeah! We could escape!
Well, what a bother...
All right! Now we can go to the escape game!
Let's go!
That's enough of that.
SPENDING THE WEEKEND WITH BEST FRIENDS
It's Sunday.
Akechi.
Good morning. Sorry to visit you without notifying you.
Just say what you want.
You are at home on Sunday. Don't you have any plans?
I'm a stay-at-home man, too. And it's getting colder out there.
I wonder where people go on weekends.
Those people are so outgoing. I wish I could have fun like they do.
-I have very few friends... -When will he tell me why he is here?
Leave if you won't.
Hold on. Ouch! Okay, okay! I'll tell you why I'm here! Please open the door!
I was surprised. I didn't expect...
Let me get back to gazing at the ceiling in my room. He can't ruin...
Who is he, Ku-chan? Your friend?
Can you make two cups of coffee, please?
-Sorry, he is shy. -I was going to talk to the door all day.
It'll be horrible if he stays all day.
-It's been a while. -Right, I've seen you before.
Remember me? I was his classmate in elementary school.
She remembers him.
-Moromezato-kun? -I'm Akechi.
She doesn't.
Right, Akechi-kun.
My name is Akechi now. It was Asumi back then.
Sorry.
I annoyed you when I peed in my pants, so I rather hoped you'd forgotten me.
-The boy who peed in his pants! -Yes, it's me.
I'm glad that I peed now.
Don't be proud of it.
Ku-chan had very few friends because of his psych...
I know his secret. Don't worry.
Do you?
Yeah, somehow.
Yes, we are best friends, so we have nothing to hide.
Don't tell a lie.
Okay, she's making a duckface. That's it.
Have fun.
Your mom is so nice.
Just say what you want already. Reading your mind is hard when you think so much.
You can read minds, but you can't see the essence of a person.
Of course, you couldn't read mine, because I'm not here for anything.
Do I need a reason to visit my friend on the weekend?
No, but--
Right? Let's hang out.
I didn't say I would.
Then I have no choice, I will leave. Let me talk to your mom first.
So, you instantly figured out the power dynamics in my family.
Eat this! Cyber punch!
Well, I don't understand what he wants.
I can't wait for the next episode, but just watching TV is boring.
-How about some cake? -I will never offer you cake.
Kusuo-kun, I'm bored. I want to eat some cake.
He said that out loud.
HORSE RACING
And it's a boring horse racing show now. I have an idea!
Let's predict the winner of this race.
Why should I?
If you guess the winner, I will leave promptly.
If I win, please give me the cake in the fridge.
Well, okay. I can do that.
VIOLET ARROW
Number two, Violet Arrow.
You already picked one? Why did you choose that one?
I just read the mind of the guy who looks like the biggest gambler.
My 40-year experience tells me that's the one.
Then my pick is...
Number eight, Tamakin Bomber.
What? It's the seventh most popular horse. Even the name isn't promising.
Tamakin is fast! Tamakin takes the lead now!
That sucks.
Tamakin won the race! Violet Arrow, the most popular horse, finished in ninth.
I instantly noticed the horse was in great condition.
Now...
-So slim. -I didn't say you'd get the whole piece.
It's my own fault. I didn't predict how childishly you would act.
Wanting someone's cake is not childish?
-Yeah, but you didn't say... -Don't talk with your mouth full.
Okay, let's bet for the second race. Winner gets this whole piece of cake.
Sure. I'm fueled with sugar.
I will let you choose first.
Okay, then...
I got it. Number five, Big Boobs.
Does the owner even love the horse?
Have you picked one?
I will. Second sight using telepathy, here I go!
Come on, number four!
It's best to gather information from the most involved parties.
-I should go easy with my twisted leg. -So sleepy...
-I want to be free-range. -My leg twisted?
I twisted my leg!
I twisted my leg due to weight gain?
I've twisted my front leg.
Too many twisted legs.
I’m on a roll!
That's him! Big Boobs! No! I can't pick you!
Any other good horses?
It's number nine! Number nine will win the race!
Big Boobs is fast! Big Boobs finished in first place!
Yum.
Finish it and leave.
Kusuo-kun, looks like we can think of more games to play.
What do you mean?
I mean, I can be your good friend. Can I visit you again?
No, thanks.
I will be back.
TORITSUKA VS. SATOU! LOVE CONTEST! (FIRST VOLUME)
CLASS 2-2
-I am so sorry! -It's nothing.
We just went to get drinks.
We never imagined that you'd end up soaked with the drinks.
It's nothing really.
How come we all spilled our drinks then? Mine was even black coffee.
Mine was juice.
Mine was curry soup.
I can wash them off.
SOAKING
Your textbook is a mess, too.
I need it for the next class.
-Sorry! I forgot to bring my towel! -Why today?
It's okay. I can manage it.
Suzumiya-san.
-You can use my towel. -Satou-kun.
DRIPPING
But I'd ruin your towel.
Don't worry. And I will share my textbook with you as my seat is next to you.
Thank you, Satou-kun. Can I move my desk closer to yours?
Sure.
They look good together.
Bastard! Keep your hands off my girl!
She's not yours.
He can erase bad things that happened to her. He can make her happy.
He can't make her happy! He has nothing!
But he has no faults.
If she isn't in love with me, erasing her misfortune is meaningless.
You have nothing but faults.
It's so hard to remove this stain.
Toritsuka-kun.
Hi, long time no see.
I was worried about you, since you have been absent for a while.
I was a bit busy.
Well...
What happened to your textbook?
Well, juice was spilled over this.
But it's okay. I will share my textbook with her.
You don't have to do that. She can use mine.
But then you won't have one.
No worries. It's all in my head.
Have you memorized everything?
-It's my win. -Yeah, we've got drinks again.
We spilled the first one.
SPLASH
-Sorry, Toritsuka! -I'm so sorry!
Are you okay, Suzumiya-san?
TA-DA
Gosh, it's a mess.
BA-DUMP
-Sorry! I was trying to protect you! -Thank you...
I hugged her!
That brat!
Good job, Satou-kun. Toritsuka received even more damage.
Your textbook was ruined, too.
-But you're lucky. -Why?
Because you've memorized the textbook contents.
He has no malicious intent, but he is intensifying his anger.
-You can use my textbook. -Yes, thank you.
-Hii-chan. -Thank you, Toritsuka-kun.
Will you go on a date with me this afternoon?
A date?
Are they dating?
Did you hear that? A mob guy?
Don't you get it? You'll be killed if you date her.
I'm ready to accept that. I'll die before I let a mob guy take my girl away.
She isn't yours.
-Please! -Don't worry. She is in love with me.
That'll teach you, mob guy.
Thank you for asking.
Sorry, but I can't.
He lost.
I have plans.
Don't worry about our plans.
I have a plan with Satou-kun.
HAPPINESS SCALE
It fell beyond the limit.
-Are you guys going on a date? -No!
My house burned down yesterday and my pen case was reduced to cinders,
so he will take me to a stationery shop.
Don't talk like you only lost your phone.
She is prioritizing our plans.
I see. That's convenient, then.
I wanted to go to a stationery shop, too.
Not just the two of us...
Well, his happiness decreased.
Toritsuka is not used to being loved, but isn't he too desperate?
Here it is.
Welcome.
Was it really okay to follow them here?
I guess I worry too much. It's just a stationery shop.
Toritsuka-kun, look at these.
Which one do you think is better? Red or blue?
COMPASS DIVIDERS
PALE BLUE RED BLOOD
Oh, my God! I'm sorry! Are you all right?
I'm fine...
Let's go home now...
-I'm sorry. -He's discouraged already.
Satou-kun.
You're going to take care of her. I won't forgive you if you make her cry.
May you be happy!
Where did he go?
-I don't know. -I did it right.
I wish her happiness. She should be with him.
I will withdraw myself. So, this is called a "heartbreak."
Stop being sentimental.
You just retreated from there.
Sa... Saiki-san, were you there?
You didn't step aside. You were just a chicken.
That's right. Hii-chan is too much to handle. The mob guy can have her!
I repeat. She is not yours. But even he's retreated. She's out of control.
I wonder what causes her troubles.
Doesn't she have a spirit guide that you often talk about?
What's wrong?
I finally know the cause. She's got such a despicable spirit guide!
That's far worse than expected.
TORITSUKA VS. SATOU! FIGHTING OVER RIGHTS TO DATE! (SECOND VOLUME)
Continued from the last episode.
Why have I never noticed him?
But if I can make him do his job, she will be better off.
Can you?
Yes, if we work together! I will be your eyes, and you'll tell him to do his job.
I see.
Alright! Hii-chan will be mine if her luck improves.
I didn't say that I will.
Give up on her, then I will help you.
What? It would defeat the purpose!
I'm on Satou-kun's side. And you just said that you'd withdraw.
Forget about it. There's nothing in it for me.
See you, then.
Gah!
Okay! I will do as you say.
Let's help her out.
I don't have sake. I don't have any motivation.
Hey! Why don't you protect her if you are her spirit guide?
Shut up! Shut up! You shut up! Just give me sake.
Because you are like that, she's been so unfortunate.
Shut up!
Toritsuka, wait. I've got an interruption.
Kusuo-kun! So good to see you. What are you doing here?
I was on my way to your house. I was hoping to notify you in advance.
You've never notified me before.
It's lucky that I met you on your way home.
You're Toritsuka-kun from class 2. You're one of the PK Psychickers, right?
It's a stationery shop.
Saiki-san!
I can't be bothered to make him leave. Let him help us.
Akechi, put your hand on my shoulder, like this.
-Like this? -See?
What's that? I know. It must be a so-called spirit guide.
But he doesn't seem to be doing his job.
Am I seeing him with your psychic ability?
This is Toritsuka's psychic medium power conveyed to you through me.
I see. So some spirit guides may look like him. I was surprised.
I wasn't so surprised that I'd pee my pants, though.
Saiki-san! Why did you let him in?
Akechi, do you know why the spirit guide has become like that?
That poop on his head is a fake. It doesn't decay.
He thinks it's a hat? And he probably thinks the arrow is cool.
The arrow looks very old. His loincloth looks even older.
It's very worn out, so it must be hundreds of years old.
It's too loose to cover his thing. I believe he used to be stylish,
but he didn't notice that he has misdirected himself.
And that brought him unhappiness, which then brought him more unhappiness.
-That's how he came to be like this. -So, what should we do?
Are we going to solve this?
What the hell? He has poop on his head.
Your spirit guide?
-See you tomorrow, Kusuo-kun. -Look at you, so filthy. I see your nuts.
Shut up! Shut up! You all just go to hell! Bring me sake!
You stink.
-You want me to throw my poop at you? -Bring it on!
Are you okay without a spirit guide?
Your spirit guide is really powerful, so I should be fine for a little while.
It's news to me.
The Nendou-like spirit guide took the useless spirit guide to training.
He got a new loincloth, and they became close to each other.
They safely returned to Hidariwakibara Town.
Looks like he just took a bath.
Can we really trust him?
I've got a new loincloth, sir.
He still has poop on his head.
He's turned back to his old self.
He's recovered!
I will do my best as a good spirit guide...
He could become useless again.
Wasn't it all about his loincloth?
Hey, you're wearing geta.
-I always do. -To stand out.
Give them to me!
I can give them to you, but spirits like you can't wear them.
-Do a memorial service. -I see.
His geta were sent to a memorial service right away. Then...
I am willing to risk my life to protect her.
Yeah, that's good.
TA-DA
Yay! I can locate Kusuo with my precognition ability!
Will you look at Hii-chan's aura?
Okay! Wipe out your aura for a sec, will you?
Wow! It's totally different! That sinister aura has gone!
I'm glad to hear that.
What do you mean?
I never thought it could be solved this easily.
If I had figured it out earlier, she'd have been mine...
I feel good, having done a good deed.
I don't feel good at all! I have to give up Hii-chan!
Did I say that?
You will be rejected soon anyway.
