TUTOR
TORAKO
I am Chie Nakamura, 6 years old.
Chie, what does your father do for a living?
A toy-making company.
And your mother?
Um... newspaper company.
What kind of work does a newspaper company do?
Um... I don't know.
I am a reporter in the Economics Department.
Parents, please tell us why you wanted her in this school.
Um...
At first, I thought that public school would be fine,
but when I heard from my wife about your educational principles, I was very impressed.
Could you be more specific?
What?
Well, that's that thing, you see...
In this time of social inequality and fragmentation,
nurturing individuals who are independent
and remembers to be considerate of others
is the school's philosophy...
Interview test result
Rejected
No!
Don't be so discouraged.
It's just the entrance exam for cram.
She didn't fail the real exam.
What are you talking about? They say that if she gets in,
she's as good as getting into a prestigious private school.
You made it sound like we should have gone to a public school!
I want Chie to grow up comfortably.
You didn't tell me the other day that we were sending her to private school.
escalator-type = automatic advancement to high school and college without entrance exam
Because if she goes to an escalator-type school,
she's less likely to be bullied,
and Chie can think carefully about her future.
But it costs a lot of money,
and I feel sorry for her telling her to "study" now.
Chie, you don't wanna take the entrance exam, right?
Huh? I don't know.
Hey, what are you doing?
There must still be some way to get into private school, some backdoor way to get in.
But I'm hungry.
For those of you who are about to give up on the entrance exam
Must see if you are studying for the exam!
For those of you who are about to give up on the entrance exam
Huh?
Any school you want to apply to
100% acceptance rate
What's more, you decide on the course fee
Any school you want to apply to
100% acceptance rate
What's more, you decide on the course fee
What is this?
Going up.
I'm sorry. I'll get in.
What floor is it?
17th floor, please.
Certainly.
Are you going to the interview for a private tutor, too?
Well, yeah.
My youngest is aiming for University of Tokyo.
He can do it if he tries,
but even though he goes to various cram schools,
it seems like they weren't a good match for him.
I'm here for elementary entrance exams, is college entrance exams okay too?
Oh, yeah.
What about you?
Me?
I'm just here to deliver food.
Our specialty: Slowly simmered in our secret sauce.
Stewed pork cubes bento. - Oh, I see.
Besides, my son, who is in the sixth grade,
gets top grades without going to cram school.
As for me, I'd rather he have big dreams
and earn money in the future than study.
Look, just like the baseball player Otani! Isn't he great?
But isn't something fishy about it?
100% acceptance rate to any school of our choice.
And what's more, they don't care how much the course fee is.
That's a scam...
I'm sure they'll come back later and ask for money.
- 17th floor. - Yes.
I'm coming in.
Mrs. Nakamura, right? Please come in.
Please excuse me.
What?
What's wrong?
Oh, no, nothing.
- Please have a seat. - Yes.
Excuse me, please.
Oh, you don't have to—
Mrs. Nakamura, does your husband work for a toy manufacturer?
Yes.
What about you? In the occupation column, it only says "office worker".
I work for a newspaper.
Newspaper.
I understand. That would be all.
What... Wait a minute.
Is that it?
If you have any questions, please ask.
Excuse me, which university did you go to, Teacher?
University of Tokyo.
After I graduated, I worked for the Ministry of Finance for about 3 years.
You have a wonderful background, Teacher.
You seem to have misunderstood something,
she's the teacher here.
What!?
Private tutor Torako Nezu.
I'm the secretary, Fukuta Fukuda.
So, is Teacher Torako also from University of Tokyo?
No, she is a high school graduate.
At this point, three people had already left. So what do you want to do?
But she was the elevator girl earlier, wasn't she?
Ah... I'm sorry.
She enjoys cosplaying.
Ah... I see.
I'm sorry.
The teacher has a request for you.
What is it?
From the 1st floor to this floor,
could you take the stairs three times?
No, but this is the 17th floor.
At this point 10 people had left.
What will you do?
I'm sorry...
Unbelievable, isn't it?
Three times up and down the stairs.
What?
Mine is just two times, though.
Huh?
I'm done.
Welcome home, you were early today.
You know, I went for an interview for a private tutor
that was referred by that councilman,
and when I told them that you were a bank executive,
they said, "That would be all"!
I complained, "That's it?", and then they asked me
to go up and down the stairs of the building twice.
And when I came back, the place was empty!
Apparently it was a rental space.
Welcome home.
It was kind of shady.
Maybe it would be better if he goes to a big cram school?
It's okay. You don't have to do that.
What?
If we make a generous donation,
he can get into any private school with a special admission.
I see...
- But— - Can I have some wine?
Yes.
Excuse me.
FSA = Financial Services Agency
Kenichi, how are things going? What about the FSA?
You think you can move forward with that case?
Yes, I think it will be fine.
The bureau director was very grateful
for the loan of 1 billion yen to the relative's company.
Hey, stop it. Talking about suspicious stuff at home.
More importantly, Papa,
a cheaper Stradivarius is available for 30 million.
How many violins do you have to buy?
I would like to play it on our mother's 7th death anniversary.
- It's okay, right, Papa? - Fine. Fine.
Speaking of that, where should we hold the 7th anniversary of her death?
We also need to decide who to send the invitations to.
If so, we'll be fine.
As for our mother, we will take care of it as a family.
- What? - Yes.
Satomi, you must be having a hard time with Mamoru's entrance exam, aren't you?
I'm home...
What have you been up to, Mamoru? Your father is home.
Well, you know, I tried to come home after class, too.
And then, an old lady with heavy luggage
asked me, "Where is the post office?"
Can you leave a frail old lady like that alone?
And when I was done,
there were more challenges! - That's enough!
What the hell!
"As for our mother, we will take care of it as a family."
Are we not family?
It can't be helped!
For them, they thought that their mother had died
and a Ginza hostess, who was the mistress, came rolling in.
If you go to a stupid university,
they'll make fun of you even more,
Todai = University of Tokyo
so you must absolutely get into Todai!
Yeah, yeah. No, I know how you feel, Mom.
I don't like to be told that if the same seed are sown
in different fields, it will do so poorly.
Stop it. You speak so vulgarly.
And when you get angry, you speak in Tsugaru dialect again.
Aren't you frustrated? Being looked down by those two.
But you know, I can't say it myself,
but Todai is impossible for me.
Look.
The hell is this?
They're all E's!
Well.. If I do it right, I can do it, too.
But the other day...
In short, you're just not willing to do it!
No, no... it's upsetting.
If only I could motivate myself...
Motivation, you say?
For example,
a very beautiful private tutor who would teach me one-on-one.
There you go again...

Lit: "Fortune comes in by a merry gate"
"Laughter is the key to happiness".
I've always believed in this
and try to laugh even if it's nothing serious.
"I work and work, but my life is not getting any easier,
and I stare at my hands" feelings?
- I'm home! - I can't see— Welcome home!
It's okay, Takashi. You don't have to do that.
Go play with your friends.
It's fine.
- Thanks for the food. - Yes, thank you very much.
- That will be 1,850 yen. - Yes.
Okay... That's 2,000 yen. Thank you.
I received 2,000 yen,
the change is 1.5 million yen.
I'm sorry!
It's okay. It's okay! In times like this,
my hand can stretch out!
A little more... a little more...
What the hell are you doing?
I'll be blunt.
My mom wants to take Takashi in
and send him to a private middle school.
- Huh? - Even you know that, right?
That kid is better than anyone else.
But Takashi says he doesn't want me to go to a private school.
That's because he's looking out for you.
I asked him the other day,
and he said he doesn't want to go to the local public school if possible.
You're lying...
Have you ever listened to your son's feelings?
It's not just a matter of getting into a good school.
Like someone else,
I don't want him to be at his mother's beck and call no matter how old he gets.
If Takashi goes to a private school,
when he finds the path he wants to take in the future,
he has a greater chance of achieving it.
Or do you want him to take over this store
and lead a life of lying on the floor looking for 100 yen coins?
What? You're full of it!
If Takashi really wanted to go to a private school or whatever, I would let him.
Then, if you fail,
will you give up custody of Takashi?
W-What are you talking about?
What? You're not confident?
That's not true!
I'll make sure he passes the exam.
You said it, right? That's a promise.
Takashi, until next time.
Okay.
Hey, Takashi. Is it true? You want to go to a private school?
No, not really.
- But that guy... - He was persistent, so I answered appropriately.
- Don't worry about it. - Oh.
What do I do, Dad?
Ah.
Private Tutor Torako
Please.
Oh, that's nice.
Legendary Private Tutor Torako
No way 100% pass rate is possible.
The son of a congressman I know apparently passed!!
Who the hell is that girl?
Hey, don't play with me!
Is it really true? That private tutor.
100% acceptance rate to any school of your choice.

After a careful screening process, you have passed,
congratulations.
No way...
Please click here to proceed with the contract
I heard about the daughter of a friend I know who got accepted
to her first choice despite her terrible grade...
However, you must abide by these three conditions
What is this?
Coming.
I am Torako, the private tutor.
Hello.
- What is it? - Oh, I'm sorry.
I have a very different impression of you than last time.
Chie, starting today, Teacher Torako will help you with your studies.
Before that...
Can we go over it one more time?
Can you abide by the three conditions?
- Ah... Yes. If I rememb— - One:
Do not interfere with the teaching methods.
Two: Do not peek into the room during class.
Three: You must provide lodging on the day of the class.
What? Really?
Oh, yes, w-we're good.
Well then...
Huh?
- Course fee for this week. - Ah! Sorry.
Hey, is it really any amount?
Yes.
But why is it okay for us to decide?
Because, just like the national budget, it is you yourself, Mrs. Nakamura,
who decides how much to spend on living expenses, education, etc.,
out of the limited financial resource.
How much do you think
is the right amount to pay me?
Oh... wait a minute.
I'm sorry. Here you go.
Thank you very much.
I'm terribly sorry. It's something less...
Oh my, how nostalgic!
- What was this one called again? - Party horn.
Our company makes them.
- Among the things I'm proud of is this. - Oh.
Here.
Huh? Why?
We boldly named it "Diet Horn".
It requires a lot of lung capacity, so it's a great way to diet.
- How much is this? - 300 yen.
Cheap! What a bang for a buck.
Take it if you want.
Are you Chie-chan?
Shall we...
begin then?
- So? - Huh?
What do you want to know?
Oh, let's see...
Oh, yeah!
Why do I have to take the entrance exam?
Why do you think?
Hmm... Mom says so.
But my Dad says I don't have to do that.
- Why is that? - That's...
because your Mom and Dad want you to be happy,
but in different ways.
What? I don't understand.
Teacher, what is happiness?
Since ancient times, many people have been worried about it.
Well, to put it simply,
"Yay! I'm so happy!" I guess something that makes you smile.
Chie-chan, you have times like that, right?
- Yeah. - When?
Let's see... I can't remember.
Now let's think about
what happiness means to you, Chie-chan.
What? How?
We're going to use this 10,000 yen to find a way to make you happy.
Gacha gacha = Capsule toy vending machine
Incidentally, you can play the gacha gacha 33 times for 300 yen each.
If ice cream that would cost 110 yen,
90 if you wanted to go to the theme park...
We agreed no peeking, didn't we?
If you do it again, you're out.
Chie, what did you learn today?
- You promise not to interfere. - What?
Teacher Torako told me to say that if Mom asks me about it.
Oh, I see.
Um... what is it?
Oh... I'm sorry.
Uh, Teacher.
Why are you staying over at my house on class day?
That's...
because I'm a private tutor.
Oh.
By the way, how much is this house worth?
I took a quick look and it looks like it's a 3 bedroom, 80 square meter, 25 minutes from the station.
- 60 million. - So high!
Assuming a 35-year loan, the monthly repayment would be 180,000?
I told her we could get a cheaper place,
but my wife said if we both work hard, we could manage.
Then you don't have to go to the department store basement
to buy this lavish meal for me.
It's a waste of money for food.
Ah! Chie, here, give it to me.
Bone... okay? Use your chopsticks properly.
- Are you working? - Yes.
I have a draft that needs to be rewritten.
Must be tough.
- I'll have a beer. - Okay.
Oh, wait!
Oh...
I thought I'd stock up when they're cheaper, in case something goes wrong.
Hey, what are you doing?
This one and this one are expired.
This one is already rotten.
Well then...
good night.
Hey, Teacher.
What is it?
Will my daughter be okay? Will she be accepted to a private school?
I don't know.
Coming.
Excuse me, Teacher, the atmosphere is completely...
You aim straight to the essayist
You're the first. You're the first in the world.
Mamoru, your private tutor is here.
Come in.
Are you Mamoru?
Ye-Yeah.
- So? - Huh?
What do you want to know?
Ah... Umm...
I'll tell you whatever you want to know.
Excuse me, Teacher, but that style is it really...
Mama, don't interfere...
So you're Takashi! I heard about you from your mother!
Top grades in your class,
help out around the house, and a good son to your parents?
It's nothing...
What's wrong? What's wrong? You're not well.
Okay! Then let's go for a run with your teacher now!
- What about studying? - That's right, Teacher.
They say that a healthy mind is a healthy body!
If you want, you can run with me, too, madam!
You'll be reborn, I'm sure of it!
Wh... No.. Huh?
Coming.
- Course fees. - Yes, thank you for your hard work.
5,000 from the set menu restaurant, 10,000 from the newspaper reporter,
and 100,000 from the bank executive.
Huh? You're 10,000 short.
- Refill. - Ah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, all three of them complained.
They asked if you're really gonna teach properly.
I told them that you were just assessing the child's interests and characteristics.
- Laundry. - Ah, yeah. Yeah.
This time, it's Mary Poppins,
Enchantress,
and Enthusiastic Teacher?
Changing characters depending on the other person is fine,
but can't you be a little more normal?
Recently, I'm losing track of who the real characters are.
Toilet paper was out. And you didn't clean the bathtub, did you?
Oh, sorry!
No, it's as if I'm the freeloader here.
This is my apartment.
I'm not your housekeeper,
so can you stop coming over once a week for laundry,
eating a bunch of food, and then leaving?
If you want,
we can live here together.
Hey, are you listening?
Have you thought about it since then? A way to be happy for 10,000 yen.
Yeah!
Have you been listening again?
No, no, I wasn't...
Well then, let's go, Chie-chan.
- Yeah! - Um, where are you going?
Extracurricular.
Wow!
Did you dream of buying as many toys as you wanted here?
Yeah, I did!
Wow. Wow! Cute.
So cute!
I'm home.
Hey, Chie, what's wrong? You don't look happy.
This! What's going on?
Teacher, what is the meaning of this?
I can't believe you gave Chie 10,000 yen to buy toys.
Don't interfere with the teaching method.
No, but...
Teacher...
What is it?
Why were they angry at me?
Even though I thought I was happy.
I'm sure your Mom and Dad weren't happy either.
Even if you bought toys.
Well then, I want to make them both happy this time,
so can I have another 10,000 yen?
- That's not possible. - What? Why not?
I can't afford to give you another 10,000 yen.
What? So what should I do?
Don't worry, there are places that will lend it to you.
Really?
Teacher, they won't lend me 10,000 yen.
Banks won't lend to minors or people without collateral.
What should I do then?
Nothing to worry.
There are places that will lend money even to you.
INTEREST RATE
EXPRESS LOAN
Here, unlike banks, they don't need guarantees.
Why not?
Instead, they charge a lot of interest.
Inte... what?
If you borrow money, you have to pay back a little more.
If it's 10,000 yen, it's 12,000 yen. Is that okay with you?
Ah, yeah!
Ah... But since kids can't borrow,
so instead
I'll lend you 10,000 yen.
With the same interest as here.
Teacher Torako IOU
10,000 yen with 20% interest
June 28, 2022 Chie Nakamura
When you borrow money,
it's an important rule to write an IOU like this,
so don't forget it. - Yes!
Here.
What will you use it for this time?
You said you wanted to make your Mom and Dad happy.
I asked both of them what they wanted.
And then...
Yeah...
Your Dad wants a raise on his allowance.
Yeah...
I'd like a relaxing family vacation to Hawaii someday.
But is this enough?
That would be at least a million.
What!? What should I do, Teacher?
Don't you worry.
Because there are ways to make more money.
There are many ways such as stocks, investments, and lotteries,
but the best way to make money now is this.
Really? How?
The easiest way is to guess which horse will win.
By the way, if you want to multiply it by 100, number 3 or 8, and then...
- I want number 3! - Why?
Because my family is 3 people. 3 people. Number 3.
Then I'll go buy it for you.
What the hell is going on?
Now you're teaching my daughter horse racing and buying her a ticket!
By the way, you don't care? Whether it's 100 times more or not.
What?! Don't tell me she won?
Without a doubt, it was the tailender, 3 people in the family. No. 3.
Ah! Enough, yes, I understand.
You do not have to come back.
- 15 people. - Huh?
The number of people who quit at this point.
I'm often told I'm fired after the second class,
so don't worry, Mrs. Nakamura, it's quite normal.
Enough of this! Are you messing with me?
Well then...
Farewell, Chie-chan.
Chie, from now on, your Mom will teach you what you need to know.
What?
Hey, quitting already?
If you force her to do it and she fails, I feel sorry for Chie.
You, too. How can you be so carefree?
How can you not see that this is an important time
for Chie's future?
You have always worried too much.
Even when traveling,
you worry if you miss your flight, or if the bus doesn't come to pick you up.
I don't want to make it any harder for Chie than it is on other kids.
I went to a reunion the other day,
and the girl who cried to me back in college, asking to borrow my notebook,
was bragging arrogantly about having her own child in a famous elementary school.
Nowadays, parents who don't realize that life is decided at the age of six
are idiots.
That's why you suddenly started talking about private schools?
That's fine, other people are other people, and so are we.
In the end, the problem is you.
You don't care about succeeding in life, so you make cheap toys for a low salary.
What the hell? In the end, you're just looking down on me.
Even in college, my work, thinking you're better than me.
I didn't tell you until now,
but before we got married, everyone told me.
They said "Sakutaro is not suitable for marriage".
"You have a nice face, but you don't make money".
I put up with it every day.
You get irritated easily and say negative things.
This house is going dark, and I'm desperately keeping it light, you have no idea how hard it is!
What the hell! If you hate me so much, why don't we just break up?
- Huh? - Even without you,
I'll raise Chie on my own! - Screw you!
If you do that, who knows
how mean Chie will turn out to be!
Hey, don't these look like us?
This is Dad, this is Mom,
and in the middle is me.
We all stretch together and shrink together.
- Hey, Mom, try it! - That's enough.
Whose fault is it that we're fighting?!
That's not nice, Mom.
Chie was just trying to make her laugh.
You're acting the good guy again.
Don't just think of yourself, think of Chie.
You just say things and do nothing.
"Circle the summer vegetables."
Hmm... let's see...
Let's see...
Look, you ate these vegetables the other day, didn't you?
When did you eat it?
Uh... hmm...
I'm gonna go hang the laundry, so do it while I'm gone, okay?
Hello? This is Private Tutor Torako.
Is Teacher Torako there?
Oh, I'm sorry.
The teacher is not here right now... if you have a message I can pass it along.
- Are you done with the problem earlier? - Ah, yeah.
Oh, those are winter vegetables.
Why can't you do this?
Okay, next.
Ah! Wait... that's not right.
How can that happen?
Like this, and like this, right?
Be careful of this.
I'm coming.
What are you doing here?
I apologize for any inconvenience our Torako
may have caused to you. - That's enough.
Oh, please don't say that,
but for future reference, could you tell me about it?
Where did it go wrong?
What!?
Come on, let's go.
What is it you want to talk to me about?
Teacher, you see,
because of me, my Mom and Dad had a fight.
What do I do if they both say goodbye to each other?
Teacher, will they be happy if I spend another 10,000 yen?
They can be, if you use it right.
Then tell me! What should I buy?
You have to think about that yourself.
I can't!
I've been thinking about it since yesterday,
but still don't know.
There are three words I dislike.
The first is
"I don't know".
You think that if you keep spoiling yourself like that, people will help you.
By saying "I don't know" and turning a blind eye to the problem,
now more and more countries are changing their laws so people can't speak freely anymore.
You...
You wanted to know how to be happy,
so you made some mistakes, but you worked hard and came here, didn't you?
Then stop crying
and listen carefully! Open your eyes!
You never know, a hint might be around the corner!
You must use your head to think.
Chie (知恵) = wisdom/intelligence
That's why your name is "Chie".
Good, good That's amazing!
She's riding it! She's riding it!
- She's riding it! Wow, wow - That's amazing! She's riding it by herself!
What's the matter?
Teacher, I want to go somewhere!
Why here?
You see, I've been here before with my Mom and Dad.
At that time, I remembered the three of us laughing so hard.
But I couldn't remember why,
so I thought I'd come here to find out.
Park's Closed
Ah... Too bad, it looks like it's closed today.
What should I do?
Park's Closed
Let's go
Did you remember?
Hmm... not here.
- Here? - Not in here, either.
What do you think? You think you'll find it?
Do you remember anything?
Ah... Yeah!
Teacher, lend me 10,000 yen!
- That's not possible. - What? Why not?
If you lend again to those who doesn't pay
their previous loan, there's almost no chance you'll get it back.
For your future, you might want to keep that in mind too.
So what should I do?
There is one more way for you to get
your 10,000 yen, though.
That's enough. Please leave.
Every single thing she does seems crazy,
but I think she's trying to draw out your daughter's Chie.
Nowadays, there are a lot of kids with knowledge,
but what really matters
is a unique mindset, don't you think?
If you're going to say that, why don't you become a private tutor?
I...
I decided I would fulfill her request.
Request?
It's Torako.
Hello?
Whaaat!?
You want me to say that?
All right, wait a minute.
Um... Torako has a message for you.
What is it?
"I took your daughter.
If you want her back, you will have to pay the ransom."
What are you playing at?
If I want my daughter back, I have to pay 10,000!
Mrs. Nakamura, perhaps
this is some sort of game, or an educational activity...
Please, enough of this. Come on, Chie, let's go home.
Mom, please!
I found it! How to be happy for 10,000 yen.
So give her the ransom!
What are you saying?
I want Mom and Dad to see what I think is happiness.
Okay? Please!
No... But
I am looking forward to see what your daughter is going to buy
for 10,000 yen.
I still think we should call the police.
- Yes, I think so. - Um, please!
Just a little longer.
I'm home!
What were you doing, Chie!? This late at night.
That much? What on earth did you buy?
Please wait, I'll make it now.
Sorry for the wait.
Huh? What is this?
Could it be the flowing somen?
Mom, Dad, do you remember?
The last time we went to an amusement park, the three of us did it together.
At that time, Mom and Dad were laughing,
saying, "Delicious, isn't it? Fun, isn't it?"
Teacher Torako told me
to think of a way to be happy for 10,000 yen.
At first I bought the toys I wanted,
but you both got mad at me...
So this time,
I tried to make more money with horse racing to make you happy, but that didn't work either.
I was crying because I didn't know what to do anymore.
Teacher Torako got mad at me and told me to think for myself.
And then, you know, then I saw three people
like my family laughing in the park, and I realized!
To be happy, it's not enough if it's just me,
or just Mom and Dad,
but Mom, Dad and I
must all be happy.
And then, and then
I remembered the three of us
at the amusement park, doing the flowing somen.
So, so...
why don't the 3 of us do it again?
Can't we?
Of course we can.
Let's... let's do it! Right, Mom?
Why are you crying?
Because!
Right now,
I'm watching Chie grow up.
I've been jealous of you for a long time.
Because you were there when Chie
first stood up and spoke.
So now...
I understand for the first time.
Seeing my daughter grow up...
It makes me so happy.
I'm so happy.
- Here they come. - Please!
Oh, quickly, quickly! Chie! Chie! Go for it, go for it!
- You got it! - I got it!
Delicious, isn't it!?
- Fun, isn't it? - Fun, isn't it?
Hey, Teacher.
Is this the right use of the money?
It's fine.
Chie, Chie.
Look, it's fixed now.
Hey, Teacher... thank you very much.
I never thought...
Here, please.
If you don't pay it back soon, the interest will be the same as the loan sharks.
Huh?
No, no, not at all.
I see! Thank you very much.
Goodbye.
Mrs. Nakamura wants you to continue tutoring.
They told their daughter that she no longer had to take the entrance exam
but Chie-chan wanted to study with you.
But can't you do it in a more gentle way?
The park director at the amusement park was in a hurry.
The park was closed, but he opened it for an hour without permission. If the company found out, it'd be a problem
Well, he said that thanks to you,
his stupid son got into his first choice,
so it was no problem for him...

But...
I never thought it would be flowing somen.
I guess
that's what a picture-perfect happy family is like.
Well, it's not for us.
You know it.
Hello, Mom?
Sorry! Work has been hard. I couldn't come home...
What?
An arranged meeting? Give me a break...
No...
I'm not dating anyone or anything.
Hey, wait a minute.
You have an arranged meeting? Your Mom will be pleased.
- Hey, Torako. - What?
If they found out what you're really up to,
what would they think?

Your son is a good boy as always.
Are you trying to say that a kite gave birth to a hawk?

Thank you very much. Please come again!

He's the son of a poor set meal restaurant.
Why didn't you help me?
Let's think about how 5,000 yen like that really should have been spent,
shall we?
