'This drama is based on stories or suspicions that happened in real life. '
'This is in no way, related to the country or any government bodies. '
'However, all these could possibly be happening right in front of you. '
I want you to investigate her.
But... why is there a need...
There's no need for you to know.
It's the period to submit our financial statement to the Cabinet.
After that ends, there will be re-shuffling of personnel.
So do a good job.
Enjoying the food, a cook loves to see that.
How nice...
Why is there a banquet early in the morning?
- One more serving, please. - Of course.
Shall we go to the amusement park next holiday?
I've got some tickets from my customers.
- You're flirting with him? - No.
I want to ride the roller coaster, but I'm afraid to ride it alone.
Okay, got it. Pretend not to hear.
- Hey! Shinko-ne, you're going too. - Huh?
- Sounds nice. Let's go together, Shinko-san. - Huh?
How nice for you youngsters. I'm envious.
Like I said, I'm not going. Ouch.
- Don't give up hope. - Don't give up hope.
What?
This information isn't sufficient!
Kaneda, are you done with the report for the nursing home and MPD?
Will be done soon.
You're late, Kudo!
Go re-check cases that passed through during July and August.
Huh, it's not even 9...
Starting today, we're working on reports to be submitted to the Cabinet. Come in early.
- Don't stand there! - Yes.
Could you check this number for me?
It's a company in Tokyo, called Jonan Research.
I've checked, but there isn't a company called Jonan Research registered.
Ehh...
- This copy is slanted. - You can still read it. It's readable.
And what's more, this one is upside down!
Then, just tilt upside down and read it.
Like this?
You try and do it?!
- And what's with this piggy scribble? - This is a relief patch.
- For therapy. For therapy. - Don't scribble on official documents!
Make a new copy.
- Enough. Don't do that! - What... what!...
Sir, can I have some of the haken* at business?(*temp workers)
I don't drink tea.
Huh? Manager...
What's wrong with Manager?
- He has been like this the whole morning... - Ahhh!
What is it this time!
The investigation on an elementary school earthquake-resistant project...
was done before Shinko-san and I came, wasn't it?
What? What!? This school only has 60 children.
Even so, it's renovation on scale with a school of 800.
Costing 600 million yen.
That's true. Did we overlook something?
Alright. Both of you go take a look at the school before coming for work.
Ahh! Wait a minute.
Before work... means early in the morning?
Preparing the reports takes priority!
Tsk. Tsk.
A radio exercise early in the morning.
Ah... my eyes are closing.
How nostalgic. Isn't the reward always a pencil or something?
Radio Exercise No. 1
But it's not the summer holidays. Why are they doing the radio exercise?
Alright. Come get your stamp!
That's great, Maruo. You'll get the reward soon!
That's great.
A child wanted to make up for his absences...
to the radio exercise during the summer holidays.
Was it the kid who received the stamp?
Yes. He's called Maruo.
His parents are divorced and he's living with his father now.
I don't know if that's the cause...
but he's always playing truant and doesn't play with his friends often.
Since he's that way, why suggest that?
I'm sure he just wants the notebook.
When he told me he wanted to make up for his absences...
he also asked if by doing that, can he receive the reward.
A notebook. He can always buy one easily.
When the summer holidays end...
Maruo's father got retrenched...
- 'Retrenched...' - Yes.
That child is actually thinking about his father!
How laudable...
That is not laudable... it's not cute.
- What? - My apologizes.
She's not a morning person... Please don't mind her.
By the way, about the earthquake-resistant renovation works.
There's 60 students here, but why was the whole school renovated?
Ah. About that...
I actually felt there was no need to renovate the whole school...
however, that was not for me to decide.
It was decided by the Board of Education.
Board of Education?
The Board of Education is an institution that...
holds power over school facilities, culture and sports.
The chairman is the king there.
[Chairman Nishiki Takehisa]
I'm the Chairman, Nishiki.
Hello.
Principal Hanamura graduated from the same university as me.
We often had discussions about education then.
Chairman Nishiki, you approved renovations on Korenoki Elementary School, right?
That school is located in a sparsely populated city center.
If that's scrapped, the kids will need to travel far for school.
Ensuring the safety of those kids takes priority.
I see. Then, can I have the data...
Hey. What's this "Nobinobi Exercise" about?
It's a newly created exercise, and is different from the present radio exercise.
New exercise?
Because kids these days are weaker.
In order to promote healthy living,
this exercise was created so that they can have fun exercising.
- This is? - Nobinobi-kun.
This name came from the kids. Great name, isn't it!
Together with Nobinobi, do a healthy pose!
Can I have this?
These are just samples, but they're still good promotionals. Please take them.
Please help us spread the word.
What will you do with these?
- Well, isn't this too grand? - Huh?
Think, that kid's card was so tattered.
This is indeed grand.
Huh? 'Nobinobi Exercise Society.'
Never heard of it before.
That's different from the Radio Exercises Society. Must be a newly set up organization.
Was it created using taxes too?
This is some sort government public corporation...
so it receives a huge subsidy from the government.
How much does it cost to make one of these cards?
About 100 yen.
Then, how many elementary students are there in the country?
Let me see... 7.19 million.
700 million yen...
This smells of greed...
Every government offices, public agencies, institutions and organizations are
built by our taxes. In other words...
Taxes are what the citizens entrust to the country.
Protecting this money and the citizens is the job of the Board of Audit

Long time no see. I got your voicemail. - Take this! To the feast-loving educationlist -
You want to check the history of your subordinate?
Yes. The company she worked for before went bankrupt.
And the proprietor is nowhere to be found.
And I can't find anything in the welfare pension record.
Such a thing isn't weird at all during these times...
but I'll check up for you.
Thank you.
Oi. Where are both of you going?
Together with Nobinobi, do a detective pose.
There's no such pose.
Don't you hate school and teachers and such?
That's why I'm going to peel of their mask right now.
You just think that photocopying is troublesome, doncha?
Yes, that's right.
One glance, and you can see straight through my everything.
I'm wearing a seal necktie today. Like I'll get deceived by you every time.
Chief, please let us go.
If we postpone it, the society will be officially established.
I'll definitely finish up the reports on time.
If you're doing it, do it thoroughly.
Yes Sir!
Is that fine?
That woman can't even do any copying. Just let her be.
Your face is telling me "If I'm free, I'll also join in."
Let's finish up the reports.
[Nobinobi Exercise Society - Preparation Room]
She's alone.
What? What...
Shinko-san.
Excuse me, sorry to intrude.
- I'm from the Aozora Life Insurance. - Yes?
I have a perfect insurance plan for you.
So I'm here to present that. Chairman Nishiki recommended I come here.
- Recommended by Nishiki-san? - Waaa... what a beautiful scarf.
Eh? Really?
Shinko-san. Isn't that plain swindling? That is bad...
Stop glaring at that...
Huh? The chairman seat on the Board is empty.
Maybe it wasn't decided yet.
- Let's check up on them from the top. - Yes.
He's a former principal. He retired last year.
The soles of his shoes is worn out.
I can't smell money from him.
She's a retired teacher.
No hair color and make up.
Can't smell money from her... right?
He's an ex-Olympian.
This is pretty common.
So you mean those board of directors... doesn't give off any business vibes.
Right. They're simply enjoying their old age.
The Head of Sales at the company that printed this card was my customer.
What?
It's the company with the P logo.
- They also print the cards for Radio Exercises. - I see.
But, they're pretty rotten.
We might find out something from the printing company.
I'll go ask the people there.
Mari-rin has a kid.
She couldn't forgive people who uses kids to earn money.
A child...?
- She's a 'single mother.' - What?
He has an appointment today, so he'll be coming.
What to do?
How much does this shop charge for 3 people?
You'll be paying, right?
No. Let's report it as expenses...
They won't approve. We got to split the cost.
We're splitting right?
So, which one is the Head of Sales?
That's him.
Reika, your turn hasn't come yet...
Eh, isn't that Chairman Nishiki from the Board of Education?
Ah?
The chairman can authorize the Nobinobi Exercises Society, right?
There's no problem at all.
In the event of the society's establishment...
Please, let us be in charge of the printing.
Please let us be in charge of the qualification tests for instructors.
Please allow us to be wholly in charge of advertising.
But I'm not the Board Chairman.
Such an important matter obviously needs to be decided by Chairman at the top of the education world.
Well said, this fellow!
Then, let's end this with the Nobinobi exercise like always, shall we?
What? Isn't that the Excercise Big Bro?
They must be using that to teach the exercise to schools countrywide.
Well then, everyone, let's do it. 1.2.3.
Together with Nobinobi, do a healthy pose!
Together with Nobinobi, do a healthy...!
This cost 1 million per night.
[Report on Investigator Tsutsumi Shinko, 2nd Unit, SID, Board of Audit]
[Past Records: Imprisoned for 2 years for swindling]
[Currently out on parole]
Come in.
Manager, about the Nobinobi Exercise mentioned previously.
Eh, you investigated it?
These contractors made Chairman Nishiki create a new society...
in order to obtain big gains.
What do you mean? In what ways?
Firstly is the card distributed to the 7.19 million children, printing fees alone
cost 7 million yen yearly.
The guidebook, bookmark, CD, DVD distributed to the 23,000 elementary schools.
And this costume-character.
This is the Exercise Big Bro to be dispatched to schools countrywide.
To sum it up, every year, a big sum will go to the contractors.
Their aim is the 10 billion yen subsidy given to the new society.
That's swindling.
I'll look for evidence now.
Let us handle this case on top of all the reports.
- Okay. - Great. Let's go.
"Swindling"...
You're the same too.
Nobinobi-kun is out again.
Let's go. 3... 2... Together with Nobinobi...
It'll be bad if we can't find a thing.
If we can't find a thing, we'll have to pay for the expenditures here ourselves!
Nobinobi-kun, make sure you send the chairman back properly.
Nobinobi-kun even has to accompany him home.
Huh? Is that a bribe?
But the one receiving it is Nobinobi-kun, probably pay for the part-timer.
Thank you very much.
- Huh? - Hmm?
The chairman lives at Setagaya.
Going that way, is simply taking the long way.
Let's follow them.
- Kiddo, look at what you've done! - So sorry. Sorry...
I'm really sorry.
He returned with the costume?!
Eh. Why?
Isn't such entertainment illegal?
The tax is used as collateral in order to place orders.
But, during entertainment, they didn't leave behind any signs of money exchanges. It'll be hard.
Hey. What time tomorrow?
- What? - Don't forget about the amusement park.
Amusement Park? Why that?
Kudo-kun is going with me and Shinko-ne to the amusement park.
You guys. Though it's holiday, why are you going there?
- I want to go too. - Me too, can my kid come along?
Like I said, not going, don't fit there.
What are you saying? At times like these, it's best to go out and play.
You might even get an inspiration. - An inspiration.
Am I right, Kaneda-chi.
Should an outstanding man like me go...
Kaneda.
As Kaneda-san is interested, let's go there. All 6 of us.
- YAY! LET'S GO! - 6 people?
What time are we meeting?
I'm fine with any timing.
Great! I'm going to be a kid today, and play all I want.
How about riding the roller coaster first?
Ayaka-chan can't ride the roller coaster.
I can't ride. I can't ride.
Sorry for forgetting about you. Let me carry you up, high and high.
- Waaaa... - Sorry, so sorry...
I'm sorry. I think you better keep a distance from her.
- Let's ride that one? - Ah. Great idea.
Why? Why am I here right now?
No wait a minute. I was once deceived by her.
Remember the humiliation when...
she disappeared just before the wedding.
Passé.
Huh? What?
Your plain clothes are so passé. You never change.
Passé, is it? I'm wearing warm colors from head to toe...
Oi, you. You said "I never change".
Then, that's what you thought back then, right?
- You thought I was old-fashioned back then? - Back then?
No. Ba... ba... ba... (pronounced 'anotoki')
Anotoki no Inoki. Bastard, take that! (Mimicking Japanese comedian)
Hey you. Can you do it, bastard. Are you well!
If you're well, you can do anythin'.
- Chief... - Just do that till you die.
Can you do it, can you. You!
I understand. I get it. This is a special service.
Thank you. I'm so glad.
With this, your skin will be as bouncy as mine.
Thank you so much.
Welcome. Today, I'd recommend white cabbage.
It's getting cold, so hotpot is the best.
I'm Shinko-san's superior, Myochin.
Ayaka!
- Eh? - What's wrong?
Look, that kid was the one doing the radio exercise at Nirenoki Elementary.
Ah... he is... What is he doing.
No. I mean, what is he doing here.
- For fun? - By himself?
That's possible too.
How many notebooks can you buy with the entrance fee?
His parents are divorced and he's living with his father now.
When the summer holidays ended...
Maruo's father got retrenched...
Maybe he stole some money, or...
Failed to return money he picked up and pocketed...
Pocketed? Who pocketed what?
- What... - Huh?
There's no such thing. But, I'm curious.
Maruo-kun.
Do you still remember me?
We are acquaintances of the principal of your school.
- What are you doing here alone? - I'm not alone.
Then who did you come with?
- Mum. - What's wrong?
- Are you his mother? - Yes...
What did he do?
Nothing. Because your son was by himself...
I thought he was lost.
Sorry for troubling you. Let's go.
So he came with his mother.
Please don't tell anyone I'm with my mum.
Promise me.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
But...
Since his mum can bring him to the amusement park...
he can get his mum to buy him the notebook.
Right. That's the usual way.
To you, what's usual?
What?
Keep his meeting with his mother a secret from his father.
Not telling his mother about buying a notebook.
To that kid, that's usual. That's usual.
Usual differs between individuals.
What did Shinko-san work as in the past?
Ah. That's right.
That. In the past...
Ah... when she was still an elementary student...
- At that time, she was... - Madam.
Shinko... never changed much ever since kindergarten.
Be it now, or the past, she's still the same.
In other words, you're referring to her personality...
Did she commit any crimes in the past?
Humans are... ever-changing like the weather.
I'm embarrassed to say this...
But I'm glad that after all these years...
Shinko is still Shinko.
Even if she is always causing troubles...
and she's by no means, a daughter to be proud of.
However, her personality is not bad at all.
She never forgives those who bully the weak.
Even as an adult, she still hates those...
Who force the weak to do things against their will.
Including those who play around with money.
Well, that's just my one-sided view...
She's not perfect...
But please take good care of Shinko.
Oh, Mole.
- What's up? - Yes?
I just happened to pass by.
Radio Exercise No. 1. Start!
What is he doing?
Hey. What are you doing?
There's no one here.
Isn't the exercise stopped during rainy days?
Hey... Are you okay? Are you alright? Hold on...
Are you okay?
Even though it's raining heavily, he still came.
I was thinking someone might be here, so I came here earlier, but...
Maruo... Is Maruo alright?
He collapsed in the rain!
He caught a cold, and is burning up right now.
Why is he doing this...
So this was it...
He doesn't need to do this. I can always buy him one.
Yes. Please buy one for him.
Can't you just let him be?
What are you saying?
If you let him mess around anymore...
He is no longer a kid.
At least...
Mentally.
- I have many things going on... - Excuses.
Oi.
You've never cared properly for him all this time, have you?
Then, you can just pretend not to see anything from now on.
Always worrying about his father and mother.
You can't let his hard work...
Go to waste as his father.
Sorry for that!
Tsutsumi-kun! You went too far in there.
- Excuse... Excuse me... - Sorry, we will apologize...
It's okay. Did you come here today to tell me something...
Oh ya, I almost forgot.
Was Nishiki your junior?
- Yes. - What kind of person is he?
He was an upright educator who thought about the kids.
'Was?'
Not an Average Joe who eats and drinks using other's money?
No.
At least, the Nishiki I knew wouldn't.
I see.
I'll take my leave.
Humans change.
That's what power does to humans.
When people indulge in the paradise of being waited upon...
They'll rot before you know it.
I've seen many of such people.
How stupid.
People who can study are just like that.
What?
Acting like a know-it-alls...
Making excuses to betray others.
They're the worst.
He came again.
1, 2, 3...
It's vanishing. My 10,000 yen's vanishing!
Female toilet?
Nobinobi-kun is a woman!?
Exercise Big Bro is a Big Sis?
- Which means... - A take out?
Then, that means...
Their destination is a secret hideout prepared by the contractors.
Which means they're giving him a hideout and a woman.
There's a high chance that it's a different woman each time.
The costume we saw that time was a right-hander.
But it's a left-hander this time.
They have no idea of our feelings when we send our kids to school!
I can't forgive someone like him as the chairman of the Board of Education.
I've heard just now...
That Nishiki is using Maruo for publicity...
What?
Nishiki is changing the reward for Maruo...
To the stuffed toy of Nobinobi-kun.
Which means the Nobinobi Exercise Society is officially approved?
Yes. When I told them about Maruo, they decided the time was just right...
To use the award ceremony to call the media here...
And make a public announcement...
for Nobinobi-kun's debut.
'Just right?'
What about the notebook?
You won't get it. You'll get this stuff toy.
I don't need that. I want my notebook.
Maruo, can't you accept that instead?
I don't want!
This is decided by the school!
Please listen to me!
Maruo! Maruo!
Maruo-kun!
Principal, are you fine with that?
Don't worry.
I'll inform him properly later on.
How can you do that?
How can you force a kid like that?!
Do you have the right to do that?
Did you throw the feelings of that boy...
and his friends who have been supporting him...
and also your own feelings...
all into the rubbish bin?
I can't defy him.
Nishiki inquired into...
whether or not I wanted to be the Board Chairman.
I'm retiring next year.
My kids are still in University.
The loan for my house is not yet fully paid for.
How ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
Very ridiculous.
Prepare a silver van.
What?
Oi, what are you doing?
Hey!
What are you thinking about? What's this?
Shinko-san, are you thinking of switching places with the costume?
What? No matter what, that's really dangerous!
I want to confirm what's happening between the Nobinobi-kun and him after they leave the club.
This is the only way!
Don't talk nonsense!
Be careful.
Ouch.
Let's go somewhere.
Please, don't overexert yourself.
I'll leave him in your care.
I'm drunk today too. Okay, next time...
Kaneda, I'll leave the rest up to you.
Please follow the car in front.
Think how sad your mum in the countryside would feel!
What to do. If they go up, Shinko-san will...
- Let's stop them! - Let's stop them!
Damn it!
Which floor?
I'll give you something good.
A Nobinobi-kun made with pure gold.
This is a premium only you and I own.
Take this, together with the money.
So cute.
Ouch!
What is the meaning of this.
Don't you understand!
It stopped. 8th floor!
That's how things are in the world!
Which room is it!?
WHAT! Enough. I had enough with you!
Leave!
Oi.
Are you okay?
Room 805.
- Check who the owner is. - Yes.
How did you get out from there?
What happened in there?
- Take this. - Huh?
What's this?
Hey! Hey!
- Ah! - Ah!
['Nobinobi Exercise Society' Establishment Ceremony]
How was last night?
What do you mean by last night?
Is there anything wrong?
A huge blunder!
That was a guy, not a woman!
What!?
I'm really grateful that you accepted the proposal about Maruo-kun.
After your retirement, please take good care of the Nobinobi Exercise Society.
Yes.
Then, please come here.
What's with you guys?
Before the ceremony...
We'd like to inquire into the accounting processed by the Nobinobi Exercise Society.
Huh?
This is a summary on the usage of the...
10 billion yen reserve fund for the Society.
What do you mean?
Music composition, 30 million yen.
Was the composition done by Mozart, or something?
Or is it Beethoven?
What a dull joke.
That music will be distributed to elementary schools countrywide.
That sum of money is necessary.
Then, what about this?
Isn't 300 million yen for the research into physical education too much?
We're checking all the worldwide exercises, and analyzing them scientifically.
For the children's health, this is a necessary expenses.
Is that so.
Then, what about the grand entertainment you receive
from the contractors every night?
What did I do? Huh?
Entertainment can be received by anyone.
It's not like I'm receiving any bribes.
Those were business meetings simply to establish the new exercise.
Then, all the pretty ladies there...
For the kids?
Together with Nobinobi. Do a healthy pose!
The girl last night, was wearing something similar.
Shall I open up more?
Stop it!
This is a school!
That's indecency!
What nonsense is that?
I'll sue you for slander!
Quiet!
You fool!
Acting as an educator. You're just a power-loving, ero-loving pervert!
That's false accusation. Where's your proof?!
This... and this.
This is a premium, right?
'This is something only you and I own.'
That was you... last night?!
Still trying to play innocent...
I can help you inform the media standing over there.
I'll tell them that all the hostesses at the Avarice Club...
owns this premium item.
Ahh... my butt is still itching after...
Getting touched by you.
Geez... How disgusting...
The expenses for that club is...
1 million yen per night.
- 3 times a week, monthly...? - 12 million yen.
Multiply by the cost spent in preparation to establish the society...
8 months, total of 96 million yen.
Plus fees for the take-home-nice-body-hostesses in the Nobinobi-kun costume.
100,000 yen.
Multiply by thrice weekly for 8 months?
9.6 million yen.
Plus the cost of the Room 805 that Nobinobi-kun is brought to.
It belongs to the Pacific Printing. The rent is 420,000 yen monthly.
Including the deposit and finder's fee...
4.2 million yen for 10 months.
I'll tell you the toooootal amount you swallowed up.
A total of 109.8 million yen*. (*about 1.3 million USD)
Please return it all back to the Golden Pig.
Return our money.
It's pointless just thwarting this plan of mine!
There's 8000 public corporation! Listen up, 8000!
Try destroying all of them! Just try!
If not, they're no different from a zombie!
They're return to life one by one!
Chairman!
- Maruo. - Yes.
Well done. Maruo.
This is your reward.
Principal, are you alright?
Yes.
Sorry, I got it wrong.
I got my notebook!
Look at this!
Shit! I can't finish all this.
But you can't bring it all home.
Well said, Kudo-kun...
Kiddo, stop joking around!
Finish them up, immediately!
Chief, what should we do with these receipts?
Which ones?
This...
I need to consult Manager about this.
Eh, where is he?
There's nothing wrong with Tsutsumi Shinko.
Is that what you mean?
Yes. There's nothing wrong with her personal history.
I see.
I understand. That's good.
I'll take my leave.
You.
Be careful.
Assistant Manager Myochin.
Ah!
- Get in. - Yes.
Please come in.
So Mole got promoted.
Yes. I'm finally a Bureau Chief.
And it's a transfer to the Financial Service Agency.
A transfer...
Wait a minute.
This means, you'll be leaving here?
Honestly speaking, I was hesitant...
when the Commissioner told me he wants to put my abilities to good use.
There's nothing more privileged than this.
But, if Manager isn't here... then who...
Manager... I mean, Bureau Chief. Congratulations.
Congratulations on your promotion.
Thank you.
Work hard!
Congratz.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you.
Thank you for your hard work.
That was the last time we saw Assistant Manager Myochin.
Truth lies at the bottom of a well.
Deep in the unseen depth...
something is creeping up.
