When I was 18 years old in the place where my childhood friend lived
It's dangerous, it's better if you don't go It's fine
there was a large earthquake
Wait, Yamato!
I'm Takeru, and you? Yamato
I went to help my friend. Takeru was a volunteer
Tomato? Yamato
We both headed to Makuhara.
In the desolate Makuhara
Only children were left behind
What on earth happened here?
Yamato
What the news called an earthquake was a lie
The microbe attached in the mysterious meteorite
when entering inside the humans for some reason only killed the adults
The government did not announce this
and confined the children to prevent contact with the outside
And even though we also had conflicts
a bond was also born here.
And then, our precious friends that became adults died.
Ironically, we found out the truth only afterwards
The research for self-sufficiency food
placed this microbe on a satellite but its launch failed
and crashed in Makuhara.
The government feared that this scandal would be revealed
so they lied saying it was a meteorite and blocked Makuhara.
When they found out that the coldness of the winter killed the microbe
the government forced us to leave
and pretended nothing happened.
That's why I decided to stay in Makuhara
Stop the violence!
I'm back
This isn't only your battle
Merry Christmas Takeru!
We all had the same feelings
At last, while grasping tightly the symbols of us being at Makuhara
we made a promise
In 20 years, holding this let's meet here again
Those were big words you said.
5 years before the promised day . Summer
What a waste huh
Why is it that the staff can't
enjoy this after...
Hey!
Sorry, I'm coming now~
Eh~ Now? I'm at the convenience store I'm sorry for kept you waiting.
Let's see, first 2 beers
Getting angry so fast, you know is really disappointing~
I was just having fun drinking. So annoying
I was told I was something like I was too arrogant
What are you talking about? That's why I don't plan going back there anymore
I'm telling you, I won't get back~
Eat some It gives me urticaria
I'm telling you, I won't go back
What?
In fact, you're around your thirties, isn't?
Huh?
I'm reading this 'mackerel', isn't?
This line sounds similar to his previous one.
Eh ~ It's 1680 yen.
Yes, I'm receiving your 2000 yen
That's bad!
Here, your change
Eh? Wait!
Please don't get involved!
Can't be true
Um ... And the menu?
Well, then, one squid please
And one draught beer, please
Yes, one draught beer! Okay~!
Oh ~ good~!
Here, a bigfin reef squid
Um...so good...
We were waiting for you, this way please!
Welcome~ Good evening
Excuse me...are you Takeru, right?
We'll go ahead, okay? Sorry
You...got really big
Really? My height didn't change at all
Oh~ I don't understand at all
You've become something like stylish...
But, this is surprising
You know, today, I went back to Makuhara.
Eh?
Makuhara? Yes
Actually, we're planning to build a library at Makuhara
What, a library?
Entirely glass-sided, you see?
At the vault, there's a space for adults and children to play...
Ah, that's right
This is my card
Huh? First-class architect.
Design Department . First-Class Architect
Iwanaga Akira
Yeah. National certification
Eh...how many times did you take it?
What?
Ah..no...
You know,
about the place where the library will be built
Look
Makuhara Municipal Library City Square
It's the place where the artificial satellite fell.
Boss, here, thanks take this, keep the change
What, what what? No, no
Just wait a moment, wait Mr.!
No, I told you, just keep the change
No, no, no It's 20,000 short.
What? 20,000
Takeru
I don't care anymore Wait, wait a moment!
What's wrong?
The truth is...
I bought that sushi with some money I found.
It's misappropriation of lost property
I'm really that bad
Why did you do that!
Dunno
Maybe I wanted to pick on the law that keeps rejecting me
Law?
I failed the bar examination​ twice.
I see, but if you pass the next time...
The 3rd time is the end
If I failed again,
including the 10 years at law school it's been enough time
You've changed
It's because it's been 15 years since then.
You did promised it, to everyone.
Just forget about that, it's an old story
Let's go to the police.
Report this, it's lost property, as you said
No, I do not have all the money anymore
Add this
5 more years ... there's no way I forget
Takeru...
Even if I think it'd be easier if I forget
It's fine, there's still 5 years left.
Let's meet again in 5 years.
Okay!
I will go
What?
You picked it up here, right?
Yes. Then name and address.
Actually
I've used 30,000 yen...
I guess, I can make it up with this
Go back! I'm sorry, excuse me
I'm the person in charge
It is dangerous, please do not enter.
It seems than more than 10 people have died.
Was this really because of a gas pipe explosion?
"We won't become adults like you"
But we won't become adults like you
20 years ago, we swore that
If ourselves from that day could look at us now
what on earth would they say?
♬～ Isn't it just fine like that?

Our Courage Miman City 2017
It's a questionnaire to decide on everyone's career
Promised day 12.24
Pass it to your backs
Once you've firmly decided on a target,
you'll be able to reach your goal faster and in a shorter time
Having in mind the university entrance examination
aim for a secondary school with high level in preparation.
That will eventually extend your choices in the future.
So, now, think carefully.
Hey, what are you going to do?
I haven't think about it at all~
What they need now
more than Maths or anything is to laugh
What you need now is
is not something like laughing.
But to increase even by a little your grades and to face reality.
If the guy from that day could see me now
will surely say this
"You've become a really boring adult, right?"
Shut up
Sorry, what was it?
We're saying that she saw the actual scene of the affair!
She saw the husband in whom she trusted naked and embracing
a younger women that was not her! That's right!
Mr.
If you admit the affair you'll lose.
If you give up, it's the end of the match.
What's going on!
It looked like ... I was embracing her.
That's right, he was embracing her.
for artistic purposes.
Artistic?
Right, it's called avant-garde dance.
Haven't you heard of it?
It's something popular and accepted, not only in Japan
but also in European companies.
Isn't it correct, Mr.?
Yes.
To called such sublime expression as infidelity is something terrible and a false accusation
Are you willing to infringe freedom of expression, guaranteed by
the Constitution, which is the highest law of Japan?
Tha...that's unreasonable!
What? Aren't you the ones who are being unreasonable?
You have no evidence, just her sayings.
You've been winning each time even with such unreasonable...ah
I mean, with that incredible defense.
The side claiming is the one that has to bear the burden of proof​.
But I'm just applying this based on what's called the principle for trial
that I learned at law school~
Huh~
Eh, it's time. Yuna-chan, take care of the rest.
Was it a graduate's reunion?
Well, more than a graduate's reunion...
it feels like a fellow reunion
Like coming back to your first love?
No, it's not that bittersweet.
Well then, I'm leaving, take care of this.
Take care~
It's been 20 years since the meteorite fell in Makuhara area.
Many lives were lost due to an extraterrestrial microbe.
Preventing a pandemic,
328 boys and girls were rescued
at the government headquarters, after that the headquarters was reconstructed and renamed
And the town where many inhabitants disappeared, is now engaged in a high-scale redevelopment project
Next summer, at the falling point of the meteorite,
a public library​ is planned to be completed as a symbol of reconstruction
And the ceremony for its inauguration...
I feel like Urashima Taro
A feeling that everything has changed
What was your name again?
Yamato
Tomato? Yamato!
You must be happy, right? About meeting after so long
What are you saying? It's disgusting I wonder which one is~
If you're feeling lonely you've must have been thinking in Urashima Taro
Don't say foolish things I wonder which one is~
By the way, did you get rid of your
urticaria to mackerel? I eat it everyday to prevent the gout
Eh? Does mackerel prevents the gout? It's quite good
Its docosahexaenoic acid and its eicosapentaenoic acid.
Don't you smell like an old man?
I'm young, a young man
Do you remember what happened here?
Yuri's grave
It was nice meeting you all
If they had to remove it they should have put something better
like planting a cherry tree​ or something like that
If she were alive, she'd be around 40
I wonder what kind of lady she would have become
Akira is doing this?
He designed it.
What's more, the satellite fell down here.
Right. That's exactly the place.
It's amazing.
Have you met Akira?
5 years ago, unexpectedly, just once.
He told me that then
No one is coming.
Well it's been 20 years, right?
It's the same with this place
That's right.
Over there, there was the bath
In a container we boiled seawater
You know, Yamato-kun, I'll tell you one thing
about that boiling, I did it, all the times
And even so, you were the one using it first and kept complaining
about not having shampoo, many times... Is that?
Akira!
Yo
So, you were in this place.
Long time no see.
Yamato
I thought everyone had forgotten.
I didn't know where to go
Well, there's no way to forget it, right?
For the time being, how about the 3 of us going to drink today?
Right. Sorry, sorry, I can't...
Hmm? What are you saying?
I lost my wallet, so I don't have money.
Did you go to the police?
Yes...well.
If that's what happened, I'll lend you some.
Even if I look like this, I'm a lawyer, you know?
Even if he only looks like a moneylender from Osaka
Takeru, a lawyer...
I just made it on the 3rd time.
30,000 yen
The money from 5 years ago
I've been thinking about returning it all this time
Thank you
You're great, Takeru
No, the one who's great is you
We saw the library.
Oh..that.. That's not at all.
It's a wonderful thing. No, Yamato.
It's nothing like that, really. Oh, I'll lend you some too.
Unlike an unscrupulous lawyer I'm just an ordinary teacher
so it's not much.
Thank you
I'll return it soon
It's so nice I'm really happy to have such friends.
You are exaggerating.
I'm kidding.
Let's go.
It's one of our staff
We received an urgent alarm of a crack on the basement floor
and there were 3 victims.
Are they dead?
Yes.
What is the reason?
An amount of water accumulated deep underground
seems to have cover the surface below and infiltrated exceeding
the strength limit of the concrete. When can the work be resumed?
It can be covered temporarily in 2 weeks
I see.
At any rate, let's report to the Minister that the construction is suspended.
No, let's proceed like this.
We are in state of emergency​
If other unexpected incidents occur again this whole area's
population would be in great danger! The construction of the library must continue.
The restoration of Makuhara is the State's decision
Stopping the redevelopment means
to stop the growth of our country.
Director, you're also aware of this, right?
Since I took the 3rd year
Summer
there's a student who hasn't been attending school.
I had an interview along with his parents, the other day
but, I'd prefer not to do it alone.
Takagi was in Shindo-sensei's class last year, didn't he?
Oh, then, Shindo-sensei
Can you make him a home visitation?
Oh...
Getting good grades at high-school, going to the university and getting a job.
with all of that you can be happy?
What?
Please don't worry about me.
I feel like I'm enjoying life more here~
Do you know which career you will choose? Please, do not worry.
Because now, with my advertising affiliation I earn as much as you do.
Face the reality, become an adult.
Are you facing the reality, sensei?
Do you know?
About the money that citizens deposit little by little
what it is invested for? and what is it used for?
What do you want to say?
What is the reality?
What is to be an adult?
Does it mean to become a liar?
Isn't the reality a fake full of lies?
Not all the adults are like that.
Is it so?
In our world, everyone think so
What we talk about in there, is the reality.
Glass Boy: Thank you RoseSun: Can you beat him? 39: It's a piece of cake!! Swan: When 39 is around LOL 39: That's right​ Glass Boy: Swan has just fell? 39: Yeah
Yes
Oh~ It's been a long time, it's Kiichi
Kiichi?
Of course I haven't forgotten about the promise from 20 years ago.
But, it was during Christmas, right?
The time when the job increases, plus my son was having fever.
Oh, I'm a bus driver, long distance bus.
Did you get married? You haven't?
Congratulations, what is it? Calling so suddenly
It's about Akira.
Akira?
About half a year ago, he called me out of the blue
And...I lent him some money, and since then I can't contact him.
You too?
How much?
5000 yen
5000 yen...
Maybe you think it's not that much money
But now my allowance is 10,000 yen, you know
Kiichi also lent him money? Yeah
Akira said he'll return it...
I thought about it later and Akira was acting weird back then.
Thank you. I'm really happy to have such friends.
In that case, why didn't you say it earlier?
No, I told you, I only thought about it later.
Here~ Oh, thank you.
Here.
Are you Takeru-sensei's first love?
What?
There's no way you are, right? That's fine, now, go over there.
Excuse me.
Eh? What?
So, that's how it is?
So, about losing his wallet, I guess that was a lie.
That's possible... Hot!
So, reserved, he should have been more honest.
If he's in trouble, the one who help the lost cases, isn't that me?
Because you're his friend?
Hot!
That's also it,
but I owe him a big one.
Maybe he has asked money to someone else?
So, then, one beer please.
Yes sir.
Oh~ wait wait...er...
That's 2000 yen
then, I'll just have water.
Yes sir
Welcome.
It's been a long time.
Oh~ Mori
You've gotten so big
About this place
To think that in Makuhara the water would cost 1,000 yen
It's a bad joke, right?
I prefer this place since it has a private room.
So, you're running a restaurant
It sounds like you're making money.
The name of the place... is Riki
Riki!
Excuse me.
I'll also have mineral water without gas.
Yes sir.
Hmm? You don't drink?
I have preparations to do since early in the morning.
So, what? You wanted to talk about Akira
Have you heard of him or something?
I had.
After 20 years
Money?
I'm sorry! I lost the money from the company
and I have to make up for it
Just for one month, could you lend me about a million yen?
Of course, I'll return this if 1 million is impossible...
50... no, even 300,000 is enough.
So, did you lend it?
Of course not
Isn't that a trick that a guy with lots of debts would use?
Is he in debt?
I do not know, I didn't ask him
How come? You should, he's your old friend who was counting on you.
I refused because I don't want to think of him as a friend.
Also the day of the promise from 20 years ago
I didn't go because I don't want to get involved in this.
It's the last time we meet.
Don't contact me anymore.
What was that?
Yamato-kun, what the heck is this specimen?
Moss
Suzuko
We need to ask her. Don't get nervous, just call her.
Shut up, I'm calling her now.
So, Suzuko-chan is living in Makuhara
"Clever Rokishitan
kept his promise"
"without striking any stray dog
even if he was bitten he bore it still."
Keita, just wait a moment.
Hello
Oh...hello
Hello, who is this?
Oh...it's me.
Excuse me. Wa..wait~
I'm Yamato...
What? Are you really Yamato?
Sorry for calling so suddenly, I asked your mother for your number
It's been a long..time
Mom~!
Just wait a moment, I'm on the phone now.
Mom?
You have a kid?
He's 5, eh? didn't my mom tell you?
Eh...well...no...
Oh..oh Hello, Suzuko-chan?
That voice, Takeru?
Exactly!
You see, Yamato-kun seems to have something to say to you, but
But before, there's something I want to ask you is it okay?
Well, this is about Akira,
has he recently contact you?
Akira? Yup
So, something happened after all.
Do you know something?
I think it was around this spring
He said "I have something to talk with you, let's meet at the park"
You're Akira, right?
Long time no see
At first, we talked about the past, but
all of the sudden, he said he needed some money
Sorry, my husband died in an accident at work
and since I'm a single mother, I can't afford it
An accident?
My husband died because of the explosion incident that happened at the
construction site of Makuhara's library. As soon as we talked about that
he kept silent.
Sorry, ...I'm sorry Suzuko
Akira?
So, what was what Yamato wanted to say?
Oh, yes, yes. It's Yamato-kun's turn.
What turn is that?
Yamato? What is it?
Eh.. no, it's nothing.
What's that.
Ah...so..
Can't believe she even has a kid.
Suzuko-chan said it herself
her husband
died at the construction site of Akira's library.
It was an explosion.
An explosion?
Iwanaga-kun quit the year before last.
Did he quit?
Do you know why?
I don't know, maybe he wanted to work on his own?
Um ... at the construction site of the library
I heard there was an accident.
It seems that he was involved in that
did that have something to do with his leaving?
That was just an explosion of an old gas pipe during the excavation for geological survey
It has nothing to do with his resignation
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
Are you an acquaintance of Akira-san?
Yes
The truth is,
after the gas pipe explosion incident happened
Akira-san told the superiors
that it was better to stop building the library.
What was the reason?
I also asked him that
but he said it was better not to know
What did he mean?
Maybe, he didn't quit,
I think they made Akira-san leave the company.
It seems he was involved in some conflict
It's useless, he's not answering
Akira
Eh ~ the last train has left already
Just stay here.
Come here Huh?
In moments like this, if we sleep embracing each other it will be warmer
What?
Stop it... I'm telling you to stop!
No
So, you've truly become a lawyer
Hmm?
I'm aspiring to go to Law school.
I can't see it
Even now, I can't see it.
Anyhow, I'm a fishy lawyer after all.
Compared to that I...
A passionate teacher, right?
I wonder about that...
That doesn't sound like you
I really don't understand the young guys now
You've got older enough to say that
It's what they say, about living in the game world or something...
the reality is only in that world, something like that.
How can I understand that?
Yamato-sensei how about trying it?
Ah?
I mean, you haven't try it even once?
Like that, of course you won't understand them.
So, there you are
No, I'm not good at games, my eyes get irritated.
You're still the same spoiled prince
It's just~ Just
act cute and dive in
you may be able to talk to that student of yours
anonymously.
Is that so?
There, you're ready
What's that? This is your avatar
your character in that world.
No, I'm not that bald.
Stop complaining, It's fine, just start playing
With this, and this.
It moved.
If you cross over there, you hair will grow Really?
Do your best. That's not an encouragement.
Oh...wow...yes...
You fool, fool
I'll buy weapons.
a light and sharp dagger
It hurts ... It hurts.
Good!
Finally
He's knocked down
Oh? 39
"You have a nice weapon" Oh?
Thank you
"Are you a noob? I haven't seen that baldness before"
Shut up
It's useless~ I could get into Takagi's party but
the main guys aren't logged in
His given name was Swan
Hmm?
Stop calling me "Bald, Bald"
GlassBoy: His baldness takes the whole head 39: that's right LOL RoseSun: The noob Bald, did he fall? GlassBoy: Did he die? RoseSun: Since he's bald RoseSun: By the way, no one heard the explosion in the accident at Makuhara library
Hmm?
GlassBoy: The other day too, they came out wearing a lot of protective clothing
Protective clothing​?
39: that underground is contaminated (´ ・ω・｀) Second that
Contaminated!?
Hey! Hey Takeru! Hey!
Hey! Wake up!
It's very impressive
What's this?
Look at this
Hey, isn't this trespassing?
More accurately, it's a crime of trespassing a building
Up to 3 years in prison or a fine of 100,000 yen or less.
But don't worry, even if we get caught, I'll defend us
Listen? You have to absolutely never admit this
Well, even by chance, if we happen to get caught
stick to this
"Because the ball fell inside we just entered to get it"
Oh, unexpectedly, this is the same length of my leg...
So cold!
Isn't it cold? It's cold
I wonder what will happen if we open them?
That's property damage
It's okay, if they find us stick to this
"I heard a voice from inside saying 'Please help me!'"
..it'll be fine if we say that Oh, okay I got it, enough
You're cold
Oh~ a knife, Yamato-kun that's bold
Oh~ don't touch it! What?
We don't know what's inside, right? Oh right
Frozen seaweed?
It's seaweed
It's frozen
Also in here
This too
he made a pun on the seaweed
Is that a bad pun?
What are you saying? I couldn't say it at a moment like this, are you stupid?
But ... why in this place?
Eh..wait...
Intruders?
We must take the necessary precautions in order to stop the unnecessary
interrogation of the Japanese media
In any case, I'll immediately find out who are those
Yeah, yeah, please investigate it.
Ah, Takeru? This is a kind of algae
that grows even without light.
Probably it grew in the underground water​ that gushed forth​ because of the excavation
But the amount is too much and the size is abnormal
What's more, the fact that is expressly frozen, this is...
This is like something we heard before
The government researches ways to accelerate cell division of living organisms
this led to the creation of the microbe... This can't be real
they cultured it to perfection.
That is T-Makuhara
That's right, just like back then.
Takeru, do you remember? Those potatoes
that grew so big in one night And what was the name of the flower?
it was kura...kura... Yeah I got it, got it..
But for now, let's calm down. Just calm down
I'm also checking something now, so look, I'm hanging up now,
Yes, hanging up now Hey Takeru ...!
Again that person called Yamato?
That guy is still the same he really gets heated in a moment.
Sorry, that doesn't transmit the idea well.
Here is the contact list of the bereaved families that you requested
Oh~ you're fast What are you going to do?
Pulling out data from the explosion five years ago
the bereaved family of these 15 people
were paid compensation money a long time ago.
Eh, how much?
200 million.
200 million?
Isn't that too much payment?
Ah, nice to meet you, I'm
calling you from the Takigawa Law Firm
Well, it's about your husband,
I heard that before you settled on the compensation money
you were offered more than double of the amount.
If there's something you remember
without caring about how little it is...
Now that you mention it,
although there was an explosion, there wasn't any bruises in the body.
Back then, I couldn't even touch him...
My husband passed away, and right after he was cremated.
When the microbe is present in the cells of the human body
it has a lethal effect its danger is...
In other words, it has the property of accelerating human death
That place is where the meteorite, no, where the satellite fell, it's Ground Zero
Under that building...
The prototype T-Makuhara virus has revived, there's no doubt of that.
Could it be? Such a thing..
Yeah, it's not unusual that the virus has mutated
and become resistant, surviving in the ground.
and it has mixed with the underground water​
You are surprisingly well-informed​
The truth is that I didn't want to become a teacher, but a researcher
Of moss? Of bacteria.
I wanted to determine what was the prototype T-Makuhara
Hey, it's Akira
I'll hang up
Hello Akira, Where are you now? are you alright?
Can you stop calling me over and over again?
I'll send the money I borrowed from Yamato. Well then
Hey, wait, don't hang up, I heard everything
About you trying to stop the construction of the library
Also about they making you leave the company
The virus has revived, right? In that basement.
Forget it.
Eh?
You have to forget everything
Akira?
If you don't want to become someone like me, forget everything.
There's no other way.
Do you know how much the government has spent on Makuhara's reconstruction during this 20 years?
It's over 500 billion.
And now, in Makuhara where once there was only children left
now 70,000 people live.
In other words, neither the government nor the reconstruction head office will never admit it.
That under the library
the virus swarms in the underground water​
There's no other choice but to forget it, Takeru
We're not anymore the boys who had nothing to lose
we're adults now.
Hey, Akira!
That's right
Hmm?
Everyone would do the same when adults.
What are you saying?
They want to cover up.
The life of 70 thousand people are exposed to a lethal virus.
Moreover...
Akira wasn't just fired
Regarding the underground water, the reconstruction head-office
has instructed to cover it with a stone coffin​.
The virus?
Can safety be guaranteed by that?
15 people have died And one more thing
There's an strong request to remove from the project any person
spreading worthless false alarms about the water in the reconstruction site
He was kicked out his house because of a small fire
He only met strange rumors and dangerous eyes
Even if he was in such danger
why didn't he say something
It's not like he wanted to be silent
He couldn't say it.
We...
Because we are also adults.
About the two intruders, here
This is a list of the 328 minors who survived
at the emergency headquarters​ 20 years ago
The intruders that time
it seems to have been these two
What do you want to do?
If they acted being informed of various things
this may be something to worry.
There is a possibility that they already know about the secret under the library
Director, there's a way to deal with this
Let's them know that there is a risk behind even a simple action
Be moderated.
What should we do?
Well, we have to do something to stop the building of the library.
How?
How about taking some underground water, meeting the higher-ups
and thrusting at them the undeniable evidence, that is the virus.
The virus that kills adults?
Well yes.
We are already 38, how could we...
if we get close, we'll die
We're been followed
Eh?
Stop. Stop...
Yamato! Yamato! Here!
Get in, nice, nice... get in
You're not nice. Ride on the other side
Oh~ right, I wonder why I'm sitting here Sorry, sorry...
Let's go, let's go The seat belt. Seat belt,
Let's go...Yes, let's go, go OK. OK.
What's this? sweat? Disgusting
It was exactly as Akira said.
So... should we forget about this?
No
Yamato, let's stop this.
He said he didn't see us again. So it's here
Please open Listen?
Are you really going in?
Eh?
You got bigger.
Yamato
I'm sorry
What?
"What?" you say... I heard it from Takeru
Sorry. Although you want to forget we came uninvited
Was it difficult? Mori
You were told cruel things, right? and were isolated at Makuhara.
Is that so?
Everyone went through more or less the same
People not wanting to get close because we were infected by the virus
It also happened to me.
That was why I took some distance from Suzuko
I was an obstacle between her and her new life
Yamato...
It was inevitable, since it was a mortal virus attached to a meteorite
It was understandable that everyone was scared and hysterical
Mori, that's the reason why you said you didn't think of us as friends...
And why you expressly met me at a private room?
This is what I do, right? If harmful rumors are spread
I'm out at once
I'm sorry about that
I'd have been more attentive.
Since you're here, just say it
The virus has revived.
What?
At the basement of the library Akira designed. At ground-zero
But the government doesn't admit its existence.
Mori. What would you do?
I...
I have a job.
I'm relieved. Do your best.
Hey, Yamato...
Something like a national flag How about doing our flag?
How about ... Team Makuhara? No, that sounds more like a family group
"Makuhara Juvenile Village" Is this a theme park? Here?
Then, how about "Miman(Less than) City"?
"Miman City" is good Approved
Approved!
Maybe if we turn here... Maybe this is it...
Takeru! Yo
Yamato! Yo
It's been a long time
What's wrong? All of the sudden
We'll disturb you for a moment. What? wait...wait...
You'll play here with this old man Sit down.
It's about the cause of death of your husband... Eh?
Just now?
It wasn't because a gas pipe exploded.
So it wasn't, as expected.
Did you know?
Somehow.
So, let's go fast, it's better if you leave Makuhara as soon as possible
I should leave? Where should I go?
Where? To a safe place
Don't say that so easily! I have my job here
Also Keita's nursery school is here
Of course I'm scared, I'm worried, but...
Honesty I can't afford that kind of thing.
I have enough with working and taking care of Keita every day
Pretending not to see it, I have no other choice but to continue.
What about the 200 million yen?
200 million?
Don't say it in front of the kid.
I took it. They said they would give it to me, so I took it
If something happens to me, then Keita won't have to rely on others.
But I haven't use it.
While I'm alive we won't be using it at any cost
Because no matter how much I accumulate
he won't come back to us.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
Besides that, both of you, just don't do anything dangerous.
If you approach there you'll die
Like him.
So you are the ones who were following us
You're a lawyer, right? And you're a teacher, right?
Oh~if you keep approaching like that you'll make me feel bad
Going against the country is a lost fight
don't waste your life
I told you not to get closer.
Wouldn't it be better to pick it up silently?
Justice is of no use for those who are powerless
The power without justice is violence
Huh~ how childish~
In this world, you know? A person with power is justice
Let's go Takeru
Oh right, Mr. lawyer, remember only one thing
The lawyer license can be taken away, you know that?
You used some money that you found once, right?
I did it
I was able to return it with a big loan from Akira
Let's stop.
Akira is right
You want to give up?
We're fighting the country, there's no way we can win
Besides... if we touch the virus, we'll die
I do not want you to die So
let's keep on living just as silent citizens
Yamato-kun, what is this?
You really haven't changed at all, Yamato-kun Wow!
You...you
If you break this bottle the virus can't be lock up...
Huh... your trying to be the only one who acts cool again
No, I'm not trying to act cool...
I don't want you to die
When the time comes, we should die together
Takeru...
But we'll see what happens, okay?
From the place we entered the other day till the library's basement if we go and return it's 1200 m.
It'll takes us like 3 min if we run full power
There's also a whole system of surveillance camera​s
We won't have more than 30 seconds
to collect the underground water.
But we're adults now, let's use something like a car.
But, where can we get in?
No, we can, if we break the gate is fine
say a dump truck​ or a large bus
Like in the movies, an action movie if we hit here it'll work
Don't say unreasonable things
I don't have a license for large vehicles It doesn't matter if you have one or not
After all, we're ready to die.
Are you really prepare to die?
Don't you have things left undone? or regrets in life?
Well, if I'm forced to say...
Maybe marriage.
What is that? I'm asking you seriously
I'm talking seriously here, don't you want to do it?
For me, there's one thing left undone which concerns me
Hmm? You've someone to worry about?
He's referring to a girlfriend
It's one of my students.
S...student...
you mean...high...
a junior high school student?
Dr. Bald: I have an apology for you
I'm going to talk about something that happened before you were born
At that time I was your age and was
preparing for taking the high school entrance exam
Right after the meteorite fell I entered Makuhara.
because my best friend was here.
A microbe adhered to the meteorite
had killed all the adults.
I also got infected
and was forced to be isolated along with the local kids.
There wasn't enough to eat
and we lived each day in desperation without
knowing what was going to happen the following day
A lot of irrational things happened
But, I also laughed as much as I have ever had.
Our friends were always close
I have no regrets of coming to Makuhara at that time.
I experienced a lot of things and above all
I made irreplaceable friends.
And even though some of them had to die.
I got lots of things from how they lived.
With them
and the other 328 who survived, for your teacher, even now
after 20 years, there's an invisible bond that tie us.
They're my lifelong friends.
Did you watch this? Mori
But, also because of this experience I missed my chance to enter the university
And what I wanted to achieve at that time, I wasn't able to do that anymore
It's funny that such person is now
acting important giving you career guidance to someone like you
to reach your goal in the fastest and shortest way.
I don't have the qualifications to say something like that.
I'm really sorry.
My wish is
for you to do something that you can only do now.
What you like now,
what is in front of you do it with all your might
I want you to live this moment.
like that, connecting the moments one by one
our future is built.
Your teacher thinks so.
Teacher, are you leaving?
I just have something to do.
Something that I can only do now.
It takes courage to admit in front of strangers
being one of the 328 once again.
But when I listened to Yamato's speech
I thought that it was good being one of 328.
Well, I guess it's his work to make me think like that.
After all, he's our leader, right?
Well, even if I'm like this,
Well, maybe because I'm like this
I think we should try to live up to that promise
Won't you come with us too?
If I hadn't unexpectedly met you 5 years ago at that sushi restaurant
what would had happened with my life?
I'm really
thankful to you.
By the way, Yuna-chan, do you have boyfriend?
Eh?
No, I'm free.
Then, wanna get married?
So you'll take over our business? A Buddhist shrine
It was a joke
Yuna-chan
If something happens to me...
please take care of this.
That is also a joke, right?
July 7, at 17:30, come by bus at the Dutch windmill Don't forget to bring the bus.
Why here?
Hey! This is a bus hijack!
Shut the curtains quietly!
Wait a minute! Is this your salute after 20 years?
You're really doing fine
No no, if you purposely ask for the bus to pretend a bus hijack
you are the ones doing much better
Our bad
But, we're really doing a bus hijack
What?
Is it true? Well, yeah
Then I will go with you too.
What are you talking about?, you have a wife and children, too.
For the time being you are our hostage.
So, whatever they ask you, you'd say this,
"The bus hijackers threatened me so I had to do it."
But...
Should I introduce you a more skillful lawyer?
Mori? Ouch
You got really big.
I've heard that a couple of times already.
Mori, you...
If I pretend not to have been one of those 328 children
the me from back then would feel ashamed.

As expected, it's the same two people
So our advice was in vane.
Immediately surround the site with the special forces and secure the intruders and the bus
About the media, issue a prohibition order.
Huh?
Hey, what's going on?
This may be due to an external hacking
Force an urgent reboot! Please provide other means
for monitoring this immediately! Yes!
Hey, is it okay?
Yamato-kun, what happened?
Ah...I broke it
Oh~ that means...
I guess we'll die from leakage if we put the virus inside.
So, we're dying?
It's my responsibility I'll go. You stay here.
No no..since I'm the single one, I'll go No no, I'm also single.
Don't flirt! Old men
This is the novice "Bald"?
But he's not bald
Teacher, where's the real dungeon?
Takagi, why are you here?
I'll say this, it's because we can see the contents of sensei's PC~
We could find out about the place too~
We also killed the surveillance camera.
It will take some time to fix it ~
Who's this?
Yes, a fujoshi, an elementary student and a NEET
I'm Takagi
No, we don't want to know that, but why are you here
I'll go get the water
Because only adults die, right?
We are all under 20 years old.
Takagi...
You are a friend from our party after all
So, you are the one who let me join your party, the leader
Call me Master
We are connected not by Wi-Fi but by our hearts.
I'll accept the train fare
It's impossible
I can't put my students in such danger
You were the one who said I needed to face reality, right sensei?
No way
Oh, now that I remember, a long time ago, you left the town alone to get medicine~
acting so cool.
It was different for me...
It's fine to let them act cool when they want to.
Let's go Yeah!
Takagi...
A real dungeon! Wow ~ Cool!
Eh~? Where should we go?
Let's search! Yeah!
Sensei, it's been a long time~
Actually it doesn't
We're a bit lost now.
Listen Takagi, listen carefully
the water.
Listen for the sound of groundwater.
This way
We're receiving the images from the special unit!
If you come closer...!
Don't you dear to come closer!
He starts using a strong fake kansai accent
If you get closer, I'll jump with this into the building and blow it all with myself
That bus, it seems that bus is loaded with a bomb!
Ah?
It'll boom!
If they blown up the building
and the virus is scattered
Makuhara will be destroyed.
Director, let's join forces with the police
Special forces, wait for orders
Please request the dispatch of Chiba prefecture police's armed unit
Oh look
Let's go! Yeah!
Wait!
Don't go any further
Go go go go
Go go go
A warning shoot
Hey Takeru, you're way to scared
I'm holding a bomb here!
I'm sending you to the other world!
I'm killing, killing, killing you~!
Aren't you mistaken?
There's no mistake. It's a thermos.
Advance
Sorry, it's impossible.
It's a miracle that you could last this long, quickly get on!
Disperse! Evade!
Evade!
Sensei
Thank you, Takagi
Just now, I felt really alive
You were cool
Who's him?
Kiichi, behind us!
They're following us!
There's a report from site now.
Apparently the surveillance camera was stopped
and it seems they trespassed under the library basement
Their objective was the underground water​.
Are they trying to do a suicide attack by taking out the mortal virus?
All the roads in the direction of the bus are blocked
And the special forces are equipped wearing protective clothing​ and masks
It's possible that the two intruders are already infected
In case of danger of contact
you have authorization of shooting to death​
Use all your power to speed even for a second
the recovery of the virus, please.
Even with kids on the bus we're doing something so unreasonable
Let's surrender. That was fast
Their goal is that.
You may be right, but if we do that...
That's right, you want our act of courage to become useless?
Your work finishes here
Akira
What?
The bus hijack
is both, mine and his doing.
Bus hijack?
We're releasing the driver and the hostages here.
Was it a bus hijack?
Help me ~! Help us ~!
Isn't the clothes different from before?
But those two are actually the ones we're searching
But, I'll tell you this isn't just a box
This is the state secret that you wanted to recover.
State secret?
Hmm? It seems like you don't know a thing
Why don't you ask your superiors for instructions?
But I'm not sure if they'll tell you about this.
Capture them!
So, we could recover the virus
And what about those two?
They are alive?
An intruder No, that isn't of your concern
You don't need to know that. Director
There's an intruder
Let me get in!
Who is it?
I'm the designer of Makuhara's library!
Architect, what do you want?
This is underground water from the basement of the library!
Groundwater? We must recover it.
Hey, do not shake it.
The fact that you let me in
means that you admit it, right?
I'm Naganuma of the Cabinet Office. Let's do this peacefully
So, you do acknowledge it, do you?
Bellow the ground of the site, the prototype T-Makuhara has revived.
Please stop building the library immediately.
You seem to have misunderstood something.
We've evaluated that the place is safe if we blocked it with a stone coffin.
I see,
You have decided that because
you don't want to waste the huge investment in this project.
This is a national policy.
Everyone is trying to forget and move forward
By pointing to the water as an obstacle
Who do you think would be happy?
But 15 people died!
That was 5 years ago, we've arrived to a settlement out of court​
Doing as if their death didn't happen
feels like also forsaken those people who suffered
and died twenty years ago.
It's for the people who died that we're doing the reconstruction, why to waste that?
They didn't died, they were murdered!
The government killed them
For what it's worth, it's fine if I open here the lid.
Stop the construction of the library and take measures against the virus as soon as possible
you have to promise that
Listen? If we admit it, then we lose.
Even if they suspect of the bus hijack, stick to this,
"I took a bus thinking I was taking a taxi."
Will it even work?
It'll be fine.
Leaving that aside, here, Yamato-sensei
Yes? Takeru-kun
This is a basic question, but
at that moment, you said this
"We won't become adults like them" what you said
is it true now, right?
Dunno
Won't we know it after 20 years?
After 20 years?
The meaning of what we did 20 years ago
just now we've finally come to understand it, so, it'll be the same.
Well, I guess you've said some remarkable words, it's not usual in you.
Here, Takeru-sensei Yes, Yamato-kun
What will happen to us?
I told you it'll be fine, do not worry.
Because, you can say that we still
have an ace under the sleeve.
An ace under the sleeve​?
Takeru I'm sorry to bother you.
I'm glad, that you're fine.
Surprisingly, they told us we were not to blame.
It was an extra-legal measure, right? Takeru-sensei
Well, that's right
All right, let's negotiate
For now, the construction of the library will cease.
Will you hand that to us?
Really?
Wait a minute, please
What about your friends? the two fools under detention
Building trespassing, property damage​ obstruction of business
in addition to violation of the road Traffic Law​ and the interference of a public servant in the execution of their duties​
To start, they can't avoid imprisonment
Then, let's negotiate one more thing
The thing you have been wanting all this time
is this, right?
This piece
is part of what fell and the government hide.
It's a remain from the satellite
In exchange for this, you'll release our two friends
You too have been through the same?
Yes
We are also part of the 328
How long are you planing to mock your country?
Director What?
Me too...
20 years ago, I was a 17-year-old high school student in Makuhara
That day, I was outside of Makuhara just by chance
I went watching the Giants match at Tokyo Dome​ with my family
Since then...
serving the country, and the restoration of Makuhara's devastation
became the goals in my life.
If I had stayed at Makuhara that day,
I
maybe I'd be doing the same things as you
Well, it was a backroom deal.
After all, we're different from those days, we're all adults now.
It's been 20 years after all
Using his bad and adorable kansai dialect
You really suck at using Kansai dialect
20 years~
Even it looks long, it felt short, right?
Even if it looks short, it also felt long.
Maybe the next 20 years will be harder?
Don't say scary things, Mori
But I wonder if it was good, to give them the pieces.
Was it the right choice?
Whether it was right or not
I guess we'll know around 20 years later.
Is it right? Yamato
That's right.
The construction work of the Makuhara's library was canceled
Welcome
It's a cute dog
The driver in charge today is Okamoto Kiichi.
He will drive us all towards Mount Bandai
with a bright, fun and safe driving.
So now, a foreign research group
announced the development of a vaccine for the T-Makuhara prototype virus
by reducing the pillars a bit more...
On the ground zero, a monument as a memorial of the deceased people
was finally built after 20 years.
So as to no one would never again
forget what shouldn't be forgotten.
The accused is guilty of infidelity.
This is definitive evidence of the act of infidelity.
What about this!
I ... What should I do?
Attorney
Famous line from Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo which Tsuyoshi played in 95
This mystery is solved!
This is not a case of infidelity.
My client only mistook this beautiful young woman with his wife.
My client loves his wife, and of course, you, his wife
also love your husband, right?
My grandfather was a pastor, and he used to say this to me.
Jealousy is the proof of love.
The two of you love each other.
I propose here for you two to restore your relationship. Please be assured.
I guarantee happiness for the two of you.
In the name of my grandfather.
This Tesla coil​ is the invention of Nikola Tesla called the Master of Lightning
He insisted that it would be possible to turn on
a fluorescent lamp by catching the surrounding electromagnetic waves.
But at that time, even the inventor Thomas Edison
denied that such thing was possible.
I'm sure Nicola Tesla thought this in his heart.
There's nothing impossible for me!
This is a line from Ginrou Kaiki File a dorama played by Koichi in 96
Teacher, you're so cool!
