Jii: I'm gonna go......
Akari: No,
I will.
Jii: How can I not go?!
I'll go give that monster parent
a tongue lashing!!
Akari: No!!
Tuesday your important catering is scheduled, isn't it?!
SFX: SHAA
Akari: That all-important tea party for the 60th anniversary of Shoueidou-san, that we owe so much to, right?
Everyone's looking forward to your confectionaries, right?!!
You know that better than anyone!!

Page 93:
Ojii: Dammit...
I... I...
I have to be there for my granddaughter...
Akari: Ojii-chan, it's okay!!
I'll talk things out with the teacher,
so don't worry.
Leave this to me!!
It'll be fine, honestly!!
Mom: Akari.
Akari.
I'm sorry...
I've...
caused you so much trouble...
Akari: Don't say that.
Don't worry about Hina and Momo.
It'll be fine.

Page 94:
Akari: It's okay.
I'll protect the two of them
for your sake, Mom.
SFX HAHH
Akari: It's
that dream again...
What do I do.
I can't stay asleep...
I've got to calm down.
The parent-teacher-student meeting is tomorrow.
I promised Mom and Ojiichan
I would take care of it.

Page 95:
Lady: Well then,
excuse us.
SFX: GARAH
Kokubu: Okay...
Kawamoyo-san, please come inside.
Kids: Senseeeei!
Kokubu-senseeeei!
Koku: What? What's wrong?
SFX: BATA
Girls: Umada-kun was fooling around and he broke a window with a mop!
Koku: Huh?!
Is anyone hurt?
Girls: Suzuki-kun's hand is bleedi~~~ng!
Koku: Huh?!
Handwritten: What did that guy do?!

Page 96:
Koku: You're gonna have to excuse me for a second!!
---Kawamoto, would you and your sister wait inside?
I'll be right back...
Those guys are nothing but trouble.
Handwritten: Ah, geez.
Koku: Even after I went on and on with them about having to suddenly take on two classes.
Ah, Kimura!!
Go on ahead and tell them not to touch the glass!!
SFX: BATA BATA BATA (Running)
Someone: Well,
we'll also be taking our leave......
Ah, yes!
Excuse me.
Ah...
Yes, yes.
Well, our thoughts on the matter are,
seeing as the students are going to be taking exams this year no matter what,
the best thing to do would be
to not make any sort of fuss.

Page 97:
Mom: ----Moving forward
if you would be more careful towards your younger sister...
then we would as well...
wouldn't you say?
Akari: Excuse me,
but what are you talking about?
Mom: I heard all I need to hear from my daughter.
----...Well, quite a bit.
It sounds like your younger sister is rather problematic.
And as for us, well...
Akari: I do not think there's been any problem with my younger sister.
---Actually,
I have no idea what you're referring to.

Page 98:
Mom: There's no problem?!
After all the incriminating rumors
she's spread about my Megumi?!
Akari: Wha...
Mom: Are you trying to harass me?!
How could you say such an aggravating thing?!
Akari: Takagi-san,
do you regularly talk to your daughter?
Have you made sure
to understand what she's thinking right now?
It is your daughter that has been doing the bullying.
Handwritten: Just got back.
Are you getting into an argument?!
Why do you think I went out of my way set separate meeting times, dammit?!
Mom: Please, be quiet! I don't know how one could raise such blatantly false accusations!!
Do you have no shame?!
SFX: BATA DADADA

Page 99:
Mom: Well, in that case, I'll have to ask.
If you say it was my daughter who did it,
do you have any proof?!
Akari: P...
Proof?
Mom: Go ahead, present what proof you have!
---Otherwise, I refuse to acknowledge what you say.
Wouldn't you?
After all, my daughter says she hasn't done a thing.
And I trust my daughter.

Page 90:
Akari: Proof...?
----Proof...?
How could we...
Mother: Yes, that's right. 'Proof'!
You don't have any, do you?
I thought so.
Then we have nothing to discuss.
Akari: It's okay.
It's okay, Mom...

Page 101:
Akari: Leave it to me, Mom.
I'll protect Hina and Momo,
don't worry...
---What do I do.
What do I do. I promised...
What do I do? I can't think
of anything to say...
SFX: GYUH (GRAB)
Hina: Sensei!! I'm sorry!!
My sister isn't feeling herself right now.
Could we have a quick break?!
Someone: You must've been nervous.
You're pale as a ghost...
Here,
drink this.
It'll help you calm down.
Hina: Thank you so much, Sensei.
Akari: ...
Thank
you.
I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry, Hina...
I couldn't
say anything...

Page 102:
Akari: Th-
That was pathetic...
I...
I told Ojii-chan
and Mom
that you would be okay...
that I would take care of everything...
O-
Once I calm down
I'll go back out there...
I'll
talk it out
w-
with your teacher.
Akari: Onei-chan,
I'm so glad you came.
Just being here as my ally,
makes me feel so much better!!

Page 103:
Hina: Onei-chan,
I understand.
They probably won't admit it no matter what happens.
They don't think they did anything wrong.
----And
it'll end up like with Chiho-chan.
Once it's all in the past,
they'll just forget about it like nothing ever happened.
----I don't have any reason
to waste my life on people like them.

Page 104:
Hina: No matter what,
I'm going to keep going to school until it's over!!
I'll keep putting up with being ignored!!
----But if they pick on me, I'm going to say 'stop'!
I'm not going to just say quiet!!
---Right now, no matter what happens,
as long as I survive to graduation,
I win!
Mom: Honestly.
What do they think they're doing?
Accusing my Megumi of 'bullying' of all things.
What an outrageous accusation.
And without any proof whatsoever!
Koku: Hm,
well, that is true.

Page 105:
Koku: They...
don't have any proof.
---Actually it's silly to think there would be any proof.
Mom: Huh?
Koku: Isn't that right, Takagi-san?
SFX: GIH
Koku: The person that did it would never admit to it.
And the people around them
keep their mouths shut out of fear that they'd be next.
So there'd never be any proof.
There's never
any proof when it comes to bullying.

Page 106:
Koku: The only one who can say 'bullying has occurred'
is the one being bullied.
So
the very fact that Kawamoto has said that 'she's being bullied'
is one piece of proof.
Mom: You must be joking!
Then...
Then what if the child is lying?!
That's no proof!
---She can just say anything she wants, can't she?!
Koku: ---In that case...
do you have any proof that Kawamoto is lying?

Page 107:
Koku: So?
Mom: ......
Koku: Do you?
---Until you
can show me that,
the school cannot accept your complaint.
Hina: Onei-chan,
it's okay!!
Sign: Nurse's Office
Hina: Thank you... I'm going
to do my best...

Page 108:
Hina: Thank you,
Onei-chan.
Koku: Excuse me.
Akari: Ah, Sensei...
Koku: Are you feeling better,
m'am?
Hina: I'm sorry, Sensei.
Um,
I think we're okay now.
Koku: That's fine, just stay there.
Akari: Um... Sensei.
I was incredible rude earlier,
so I...

Page 109:
Koku: Ah, m'am,
that's nothing to be worried about.
It's okay.
Anyhow,
let's
talk about what's going to happen moving forward.
