No way. It's already this late?
I'll be late at this rate.
It's cold!
What's going on?
I'm off!
Should I Tell You Or Not?
Safe!
That was close.
Well, I had the alarm set...
- Did you fall asleep again? - Strange.
The bell rang, didn't it?
The teacher isn't here yet.
The teacher's meeting is taking longer.
We were told to self-study and wait.
No way. Why did I go to such trouble?
It's kind of hard to tell if I should be happy.
You don't look penitent at all.
Even if you say that,
I rushed here and I forgot my lunch.
[A granny's underwear] I guess I lost out on about 500 yen.
Wait, Mikan!
Behind you!
What?
Your back!
My back?
What about it?
There's nothing there.
Your underwear is showing! The kind that looks like a granny's!
No way!
- What? Where? - Quiet down.
- People will notice! - I can't see.
On your butt, the hip!
Wait.
Where are you going, Mikan?
That idiot.
How embarrassing.
It's much more embarrassing to go under the curtains!
People tend to think of great ideas when backed into a corner.
Today was really cold.
I was thinking I'd dress warmly, and I picked out
the granny's underwear from the closet by accident.
Anyhow, Tokyo people are cold.
What, you're suddenly a Kumamoto person now?
Well, I came from home this morning, got on the bus,
took a train,
and ran all the way to school
How many people do you think I passed on the way?
A hundred? A thousand?
Ten thousand?
...That might be a little too much.
Anyhow, I passed a lot of people.
No one told me that my underwear was showing.
Only you did.
But you know, you were running, right?
Yes.
- Hup! - Isn't it kind of hard to tell you when you're running?
Is that so?
And it's hard to tell a stranger that sort of thing.
Is it?
Alright, then example one.
You're walking along the road.
That suits you somehow.
A woman like this
has part of her underwear showing.
How will you tell her?
I'm sorry.
Hey!
You shouldn't apologize when you did nothing wrong.
You're right.
Uh...
Yes?
Your underwear is showing.
This is a valid fashion style.
- How rude! - I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - This is likely to happen.
So fashion really is difficult to know.
I know, right?
Example two.
You're in the station.
Yes.
You see a woman come out of the bathroom...
Her dress is stuck in her pantyhose!
Now, what will you do?
That can't be a fashion choice.
That's too much.
Excuse me, your dress is caught in your pantyhose.
Huh?
You were too direct.
If you aren't considerate, your kindness will be wasted.
I see.
So it takes effort and good sense if you're to inform someone of something like this.
How about trying to tell them with your eyes?
Eyes?
Staring at them, you know?
Excuse me, a button on your back is done wrong.
I could keep thinking that.
I wonder how that would be?
People sometimes stare at me, too.
You too, Haruyama?
Yes, even this morning,
What is it?
Uh...
Like that.
They stare at me like they have something to say.
They're all guys.
Here comes Maruyama's world.
Hey, Shimi-chan.
Yes?
I did think it would be difficult to tell other people
but I don't like the idea
that doing a kindness can be difficult.
You know,
I wish it could be easier to do that sort of thing.
I'm not very good at being smooth at that sort of thing,
but I don't like to ignore such things, either.
How admirable!
Mikan, you're right.
Acting is more important than thinking all these things.
You try and protect the tiny amount of pride you have, and it just gets smaller.
Well, I wouldn't go that far.
All of you, to your seats.
The teacher's here.
Oh, look at you kids.
We'll forgo the pleasantries. Open your textbooks.
Kakinomoto no Hitomaro page 93.
Hey, Shimi-chan!
That...
What do we do about that?
[Ancient Text 2] I don't think that many people have noticed yet.
If it's Yoshioka...
He hasn't noticed!
Why does he have his eyebrow raised like that! How annoying!
Mikan, you're the only one who can do it.
You said you couldn't pass this sort of thing by!
Yes, but...
This is way too difficult!
This is end-game boss difficulty!
This isn't the time to complain.
Mr. Miyazima has become a laughingstock!
- Tachibana! - Yes.
Stand up and read the next part.
Yes.
[I'm sorry, it's in your hands now.] Well...
[But this is your chance!] My chance...
How am I supposed to say it?
His dignity....
I can't think of that now... But...
The door of society is open. It's quite cold today.
Between the legs!
Tachibana, it's fine now. I think you can stop.
Thank you.
Yes.
[And...]
Well done, Mikan!
I didn't think you'd be so obvious.
I blurted it out without thinking.
I guess it went well, though.
You know,
what were you saying during class?
Well, here you are.
Say whatever you want.
Don't you feel any shame?
Come to think of it...
- Maybe I lost it. - Maybe she lost it.
Ugh, I can never figure you girls out.
Hey, Iwaki.
That Tachibana, she's done for.
She's no longer Mikan Tachibana.
She's "Between the legs" Tachibana.
You! Yoshioka!
