01x03 - Episode 3

Post by bunniefuu »

Welcome.

Sorry for calling you out
here and then making you wait.

It's okay.

- I'll have a coffee.
- Certainly.

What's up?

Well, you see...

Actually, yesterday,
I saw one of your female students

getting cosy with an older man in a car.

It's been bothering me a little.

One of our students?

Did it seem dodgy?

Well... I don't know...

She was very well-groomed.

So...

I must have been mistaken.

Huh?

I...

I feel like I've seen her face somewhere before.

I can't quite place it.

It's like...

it has something to do with a trial, I think.

A trial?

I can't imagine any of our
students causing that kind of trouble.

Sorry for saying something weird.

But...

She was a really eye-catching beauty.

Does it ring any bells?

Uh...

Huh?

Could it be that Mai-sensei...

saw us?

Did anyone come to mind?

Well...

No.

I just wondered who it was.

Mai?

Yosuke?

What's wrong?

What are you doing here?

Oh.

This is Matsunaga,
an old classmate from high school.

This is my husband, Yosuke.

What's this about?

He's not anyone suspicious, is he?

Pleased to meet you, I'm Matsunaga.

Hello.

Mai.

I've got some errands to run.

Let's go.

Eh?

Excuse me.

Wait.

Sorry, I'll call you later.

Wait...

Yosuke!

What were you doing with that guy?

I told you, he's just a classmate.

You know, he's been acting strange.

The other day...

I don't like seeing you with other men.

Huh? Men?

It's not like that.

More importantly, why were you there?

A student contacted me saying
you were secretly meeting a man.

That's why...

A secret rendezvous?

No way.

I wonder who saw us.

Anyway, I don't like that sort of thing.

Besides,

what if strange rumours get back to my dad?

Please remember you're going to be
the wife of the next school president.

Understand?

What's wrong, Yosuke?

It's not like I'd ever have an affair.

Yosuke?

I won't be needing dinner tonight.

Huh?

Sensei!

I've missed you!

I've been waiting for you at the café.

[Episode 3]

Maezono.

From now on, we're not meeting at that café.

Why?

It's my favourite place.

I'll take you somewhere better.

Really?!

Anywhere's great as long as I'm with you.

What do you want to eat?

Why?

Hello?

Nishino.

Were you alright earlier?

I was just a bit worried.

Yeah.

Listen...

This is difficult to say...

The man I saw with that schoolgirl...

I think it was your husband.

What?

I saw his face at the coffee shop.

I was shocked too.

So it really was him there...

Nishino?

I think you were right.

Yosuke's having an affair with a student.

What?

Are you sure about that?

Because if that's not the case,

then why was her hairpin in our bedroom?

Could she be coming to your house?

I'm sorry.

I'm alright. Sorry...

What are you going to do?

First, I'm going to ask Yosuke about it.

I want to hear what happened directly from him.

Nishino, I understand how you feel.

But, it's better not to ask him directly yet.

He'll just make excuses and brush it off.

That's...

Can we meet again tomorrow?

Let's think about it together.

Okay.

Thank you...

I'll head out.

See you later.

Oh!

Sorry!

Mai-sensei.

Good morning.

Morning.

Thank you.

What's this?

Shall I help?

It's okay.

I can manage.

Really?

Sensei.

Actually, I...

No, it's nothing.

Excuse me.

Mai-sensei!

Good morning.

Maezono-san...

Sensei, what's wrong?

Oh, it's nothing.

Come on, you'll be late for class.

Okay.

Here.

Oh, thank you.

Has anything happened since then?

When I woke up this morning,
the pin was gone.

When I saw her at school,

she was wearing it on her chest.

So your husband must have
found it and given it back to her?

Probably...

This is rough...

They're a student and a teacher, right?

Since when?

I want to know...

Why is this happening...?

What do you want to do?

From now on?

If you're serious about fighting this...

I'll help you.

I don't know what I want to do yet.

But I don't want to keep suspecting her like this.

I want to know the truth.

What's up?

You look like you're having fun.

Here.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

It was so much fun at sensei's house.

Well...

That was pretty risky.

Oh, come on.

So, shall we do it here?

No...

Well, you know...

Hey, sensei, give it a rest.

Huh?

Why does it always have to start with me?

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

W-what countdown is that?

Until sensei wants to kiss Yura.

Six, five, four, three, two...

Don't play with me.

Don't tease an adult.

First, Yosuke's birthday.

Doesn't work.

My birthday?

Of course not.

Huh?

Could it be...

Maezono-san's birthday?

It opened...

[Thanks for the ride.
[I had a great time today.]

[It was fun.]

[I'll drive you home again.]

[The sex in the car]

[felt so good.]

[Let's do it again!]

[Stop it.]

[You're getting me excited.]

Hurry...

Mai!

Can you get me a towel!

Okay!

I'll bring it right away!

Okay.

I'll leave the towel here.

[Morning.]

[I dreamt about you.]

[Me too.]

[You appeared in my dream.]

[We really do feel the same way.]

[We do.]

Yosuke-sensei!

Over here!

[By the way, are you actually
paying attention in class?]

[I can't concentrate when you're not there.]

[Besides, you were just making
eye contact with me the whole time.]

[You caught me.]
[Don't make me say embarrassing things.]

[Oh, stop it.]

[I want to know more about Yura.]

[We seem to be spending a
lot of time together lately.]

[I want to be with you.]

I'll cherish you forever,

Will you marry me?

Let's be happy.

I looked at your husband's chat history.

It was pretty shocking.

It was too much, I couldn't read it all.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

The one with Maezono-san in the nurse's office...

That was Yosuke?

Yeah.

They were doing that, weren't they?

Yeah.

So, why was Maezono-san's rabbit hair clip...

in our house?

Well, that's...

It's okay.

I'm prepared for anything.

You know that day your husband brought home wine?

Yeah.

For my birthday.

I bought this.

For your birthday celebration.

It's wine.

Let's drink it together.

I'm so happy

I'll get ready right away.

Thank you.

That wine had sleeping pills in it.

What?

This wine is nice, but it's making me tipsy.

Really?

Maybe you've just become a lightweight?

I'm sorry...

Sleeping pills?

He put them in my drink?

What did he do while I was asleep?

After you fell asleep...

Yura Maezono came into the room, and then...

Mai-sensei looks like she's enjoying herself.

Maezono.

She'll wake up.

How cute.

Did that make your heart race?

Come on, I want to feel something good.

Hey.

Sensei!

Mai's waking up.

No.

Look at me.

I was so turned on.

You were more intense than usual.

Well, yeah...

Hey, let's do it again.

So, when you sleep in this bed,

you'll always think of me.

What is this?

This is awful.

How could this happen?

This is wrong, Yosuke.

Nishino...

He's not the Yosuke I know anymore.

I can't forgive this.

As a husband, as a teacher...

and as a person, I just can't forgive him.

Seeing what happened
between them made me decide.

I'm getting a divorce.

Understood. I'll support you.

Thank you.

Nishino...

And one more thing...

[She loved the earrings.]

[Thanks.]

[I'm glad I could help you]

Weren't you the one who chose them?

Unbelievable.

I know it's infuriating...

even to pretend you're unaware of the affair...

you should wear them from now on.

But I already know about the affair.

Based on their interactions...

I think your husband
is very concerned about his public image.

As the next president of the school,
he won't let you get a divorce easily.

You should plan this very carefully.

Understood.

Where shall we go?

I want to take another bubble bath.

Let's take one together?

Shall we go there?

- Well, I guess we'll just go to our usual place.
- Yeah.

Seeing it in person is pretty rough.

Don't push yourself too hard.

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'll gather the evidence myself.

Don't get too worked up about it.

Divorce is a long game.

You've got to pace yourself.

I know.

Thanks.

I'm too happy.

I don't want to go home.

I wish you'd just break up with Mai-sensei already.

Should I help you out with that?

Cut it out.

She'd be devastated if she knew about this.

Mai-sensei's fine.

Huh?

Because Mai-sensei's having an affair too.

See?

Now there's no one to get in our way.

Welcome home.

Shall I get dinner ready?

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

What's this?

Are you having an affair?

No...

No, it's not like that.

If the school finds out,
you know what'll happen to me!

Right?

You can figure that out, can't you?

Hey, say something.

Hey!

Why are you crying?

This is your fault!

- Name and business, please...
- Hey, say something!

- I said, say something!
- Nishino, contact me immediately.

Yura Maezono is dangerous.

That girl...

She's caused major incidents in the past.

She slashed a classmate's face badly

with a box cutter,

and her father paid to cover it up.

She even had plastic surgery to change her face.

Nishino...

Maybe I'll go see her again.

Mai-sensei.
