The first thing in the morning is homeroom, right?
Which means that I'm teaching back-to-back classes from first to third period.
Over lunch break, I took a student home who had collapsed from anemia.
And in fifth period, I patrolled the campus, looking for students who were skipping class.
And then after school, I've been supervising the Brass Band Club's practices
because they have a competition coming up.
Ah, so that's why you're soaking your feet.
Yep.
I can't blame you, you've been on your feet all day.
Have you tried orthopedic sandals?
I can't. Even the freshmen think of me as an elegant, ladylike teacher.
Have you ever thought about coming clean about your Light Music Club past?
You know, "I used to be like this!"
Never! Gimme that!
You have no idea what it's like.
In education, showing the slightest weakness can lead to catastrophe.
If they learned of my past...
Stop interrupting class, you girls!
Up yours!
You used to be exactly like this back in high school. Ain't that right, Sawa-chan?
...that's what would happen!
I think you're blowing it out of proportion.
Excuse me.
You're taking it?
Hello?
What are you thinking, calling me here?!
I'll be right back, okay?
This is beyond fishy...
"What are you thinking, calling me here?!"
That reminds me! This morning, she...
#10: Teacher!
That happened this morning?
In the morning, she's dropped off at school and has a fight with the driver
and after school, she's surprised by a sudden phone call.
The normal conclusion would be that the caller is Sawa-chan's...
It can't be!
Her mother?
You don't need to worry about this, Yui-senpai.
Why not?!
Because this isn't kids' stuff.
Speak of the devil.
Sawa-chan spotted!
Take a look at that suspicious behavior!
This isn't the usual way that she goes home.
Mio-chan, you sound like a detective!
Right! Let's tail her!
Are you sure that's a good idea? If she spots us...
She's turned left! Come on, hurry!
Mugi-senpai is more into this than anyone else!
Okay... Target acquired!
Yui, you maintain watch, focusing on the right.
Mugi, exercise the utmost caution that Sawa-chan doesn't spot you.
Roger! Roger!
This is a stakeout?
Oh, right! You, too, Mio-chan!
You came prepared!
Something in the area has spooked her!
She's got the bug, too!
You're right...
I don't believe it, does she really have...
But doesn't she always complain about how lonely she is because she's single?
Well, maybe teachers have to keep certain parts of their lives secret.
Certain parts?
No, not me! I'm not hiding anything!
Come to think of it, you are a hottie, Mio.
I wouldn't be surprised if boys liked you just as much as girls do.
That's true.
H-How did we get onto this topic?!
Congratulations, Mio-chan!
Don't run with the joke!
Hm...
Don't stare at me!
I-I'm not interested in that stuff!
Or you could say that the Light Music Club is my boyfriend right now.
Ow!
Why did she only smack me?
Sorry I'm late.
Didn't I tell you not to call me at school?
I said I was sorry!
Unbelievable...
It's a girl!
Oh. Darn.
A woman...
Um, you don't need to read too much into it.
Why did we follow them in here?
It's like we're in a soap opera!
Today is the day you finally get your comeuppance, you scheming vixen!
They'll hear you!
Excuse me?
Y-Yes?
Party of five?
Y-Yes!
Um, mind if we sit over here?
We're still in our school uniforms...
Mugi, keep your head down.
Oh, right.
Azu-nyan, scoot over!
Sit on the other side!
Aw, that's so mean!
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
That was close...
Yui, stay down there.
I'll give you these.
I don't wanna stay here...
Ouch... Watch it! Don't force your way in!
Would both of you please be quiet!
They're holding the party THERE?
That's right.
Hey, that's...
Excuse me. May I take your order?
Um... Five black teas, please.
We have a self-service area over there.
Come on, don't be like that.
That's not gonna work.
Um... I'll have this chocolate cake, then.
Hey, don't order just for yourself!
We have to order something.
In that case, I'll have the pumpkin custard a la mode.
They have amazing things like that here?!
I'll have the cream anmitsu.
That's what I wanted!
You CAN order the same thing, you know.
No way, they have all this great stuff! It'd be a waste to order the same thing!
Um... I guess...
Um... I guess I'll have...
T-This!
We've completely lost sight of our initial objective.
We're paying separately, not dutch, got it?
What? We are?
Obviously.
Well, in that case...
Please make up your mind. We might be spotted.
What's gotten into you? You've been acting strange since we got here.
It's nothing.
Liar. You keep looking behind me.
Think about it one more time, all right?
Talk about pushy...
1,480 yen with tax... There goes my allowance.
You didn't actually need to buy it.
I didn't want to miss out!
We never did figure out who the woman with Sawako was.
True.
I recognize her.
Yui, you know her?
Yeah. She was with Sawa-chan in those old pictures, remember?
Old pictures?
That's Death Devil's...
The name's Christina!
I'm sorry. Did I go overboard with the shock factor?
No, she's always like this.
Really?
You're Sakura High's Light Music Club, aren't you?
Are you another master detective?!
We're wearing our school uniforms and carrying guitars, so it's not a huge stretch.
I need to talk to you about something as a Light Music Club alumna.
Who's the club president?
M-Mio is.
Don't chicken out.
Wow, this is one hell of an axe you've got here.
Thanks...
This really takes me back.
She's good!
Maybe even better than Miss Sawako!
Hey, thanks.
Sawako and I used to have technique competitions every day.
Oh, really?
Oh. Don't be shy, go ahead and order something.
Pops, another round of juices for the girls.
Sure thing, Nori-chan.
Nori-chan?
Sorry about that. My name is Norimi.
Then you aren't a foreigner?!
Or course she isn't, dummy.
But her name...
It's my fault for not introducing myself sooner.
If there's anything else that you'd like to eat, just say so, okay?
She sure seems nice... She sure seems nice...
Then I'd like the ganmodoki!
One ganmo coming up.
Do you like that?
I don't know, I've never seen it before.
Its name makes it sound amazing, don't you think? Ganmodoki.
Does it?
So, what did you want to talk to us about?
It's nothing major.
The thing is, Sawako is set to get married.
That was a joke.
That's your idea of a joke?!
A classmate of ours who was in the Light Music Club at the same time as us is getting married
and she says that she wants the band to play at the after-party.
But Sawako is the only one who isn't on board with it.
Yeah, she treats her Light Music Club past as a deep, dark secret.
Yeah.
One ganmodoki.
It's much more mundane than I expected.
What did you have pictured in your head?
Something spiny, I guess.
Spiny?
She seems so cool...
Sorry, I didn't mean to keep it for so long. Here you go.
No, that's okay.
I'm sorry, did I mess something up?
No, it's fine.
Independent Study
English class today will be independent study.
Work quietly.
Miss Akiyama. It's from Miss Kotobuki.
Thanks.
Mio-chan, have you thought of anything?
I've been thinking about it, but if the old club members couldn't convince her
I don't see how we could.
Thanks.
Here.
Sorry. Here.
Other teachers and members of the Newspaper Club are coming to the after-party, apparently...
Maybe we could disguise her with makeup or something?
But considering the outcome if she's found out, perhaps she shouldn't...
Good point.
What do you think, Yui?
Mio-chan, your handwriting's so cute!
How about you, Ritsu? You're our president, remember?
Be serious!
"All together, now!" - Sawa-chan
Miss Akiyama.
Um...
Did you draw this?
No!
You traitor! "I am a pen."
It was me.
Miss Kotobuki?
Mugi?
I was the one who sent the first note.
So Mio-chan isn't the one to blame.
Oh. Still...
May I stand out in the hallway as punishment?
That's not...
I want to stand outside!
So this is what it's like to stand out in the hall...
Twelve years after starting school, my dream has finally come true.
I can now graduate without leaving any unfinished business.
What kind of dreams do you have?!
I reached it! Ritchan, I reached it!
Yui seems to be having a grand old time out here, too...
To get back on topic, what are we going to do?
Don't you people remember what Norimi told us last night?
I forget, did she say something?
Get with it, Yui...
Okay, I'll let you guys talk Sawako into playing.
Sawa-chan can be really stubborn, though.
What's the big idea, throwing in the towel already?
Well, if you can't talk her into it...
Then what?
Let's just say that I have some special training lined up for you.
That happened?
You don't remember?!
I wonder what sort of "special training" she has in mind?
When a club alumna says something like that, it tends to be some kind of harsh practice.
Yes, but we aren't an athletic club.
No, with the Light Music Club, it might be...
All right, play until I can hear the music!
But we don't have our...
Music comes from the soul, right?
If you put your hearts into it, you should be able to make music even without your instruments!
Begin!
Y-Yes, ma'am!
I'm not hearing anything!
We're sorry!
...like that.
Really?!
Come on, quit joking around.
Oh...
It was a joke.
Okay, let's talk to her after school.
Are you going to stand out here all day? Get back to your independent study.
Kay!
Pardon us.
Miss Sawako!
Thank you!
We don't want to bother the other teachers, so let's keep it down, okay?
Of course! Sorry! Wow, Sawa-chan sure is popular, huh?
This kinda makes it harder to ask her to play, doesn't it?
I see.
We're sorry.
So, Sawako is just as popular now.
Yes.
So, um, what's this "special training"?
Oh, that? I was kidding.
Of course I wasn't.
I just want your help with something.
This is really hard...
Sis, you still haven't taken your bath?
I'll take it in a little bit.
You'll oversleep again.
Hey, Ui.
Adults are pretty amazing, huh?
What brought that on?
When I grow up, will I be grown up, too?
Sis, do you want a juice?
Today, I shall have tea.
Coming right up.
Congratulations.
Sawako!
Good to see you again!
I'm sorry I can't play. Now that I'm a teacher, I have to be careful what I do.
It's all right. We can't wait for the show!
Geeta!
Quit crying! It only makes you look scarier!
Actually, I rather like it.
You overdid it, Mugi-senpai!
Oh, and Miss President? I want you to use this to breathe fire, okay?
Um... Thanks, but NO WAY!
And now, a performance by Death Devil
a band composed of the bride's high school friends, will begin.
Furthermore, today's performance will feature a special lineup.
Hey! What do those girls think they're...
Yui-chan, what did you do to your guitar?
What are you doing?
Buckle up, you bastards, 'cause tonight we're gonna rock!
I missed a note!
What are you doing?
Sorry, let's take it again from the top!
With a name like "Death Devil," I was worried what kind of band they'd be,
but they're awfully cute.
C-Cute?!
You can do it, Death Devil!
We're rooting for you!
Rooting for them?!
Death Devil! Death Devil!
This is all wrong... This isn't what Death Devil is about.
There has to be a brutal clashing of souls. That's when Death Devil is at its best.
No, I mustn't! I'm a teacher now...
I left that part of me in the past!
Besides, it would be an insult to these people who are trying so hard because of me...
Gosh, I'm sorry! I'm all thumbs!
This is wrong.
Death Devil is...
The Death Devil that I pursued all those years is...
Sorry I sound so bad, folks. The Death Devil that I pursued all those years is...
Sorry I sound so bad, folks.
I'm trying my best, so please bear with... Death Devil... My Death Devil is...
What? What happened to the lights?
They'll come back on soon.
You're right.
Sawa-chan!
It's Sawako!
Here it comes!
Death Devil ain't this half-assed, watery crap!
I'm gonna show you how it's really done!
Okay! Let's do it!
One, two!
Gotta be careful around those sweet words - whoa
I'm not used to that stuff
I'm on high alert - whoa
But I guess he really means it
Catherine!
I've got kinda lofty ideals - whoa
I casually look down
Okay... I casually look down
I push myself, thinking I could do it - whoa
Ah, gotta act tough
I worked it all out, planning to get him
Pushed around and Fail!
But it's a lie that you lose if you fall in love
It's not losing at all
More than a devil or a temptress
What I really, really wanna be is an angel
I keep asking what love tastes like
But I think I'm gonna find out soon
My desire to stay true to myself
Is almost too simple
Gimme a future filled with love!
Musician
What have I done?!
Look what we made her do...
I'm finished...
The genteel, ladylike image I've worked so hard to cultivate...
We're truly ashamed of ourselves.
It's all right. In the end, it was...
Yeah, it's your own fault for snapping like...
I SAID it was my fault, didn't I?
I'b zorry.
Yes?
Um... Is Miss Sawako here?
Thank you!
You were so awesome in the show last night!
We can't wait until next time!
I don't get it.
Well, I'll be. Sawa-chan is popular either way.
Maybe a band has to be that over the top if anyone's going to remember them.
True...
Okay, let's do it! Slap some makeup on Mio!
Don't even think about it!
I rather like the idea.
You go overboard with that stuff!
Oh, do I?
Death Devil forever! Oh, do I?
Death Devil forever! For mine, I wanna go way, way...
Death Devil forever!
