14 That Night (14の夜)

AUGUST 4TH, 1987 6:37 A.M.

Why on earth are you home so late?

Shut up, you old bitch!

Old bitch? How dare you call me that!

Megumi, come back here!

Newspaper?

Yes.

Could you get it for me?

Dad was home every day

during my summer vacation in my third year of junior high school.

It was your fault, so stop moping around.

It's awkward for me at work now too.

Hey.

Knock it off when Haruko comes home.

Does she...

-know? -About what?

I wouldn't tell her! Not when her fiancé is here.

Stop worrying about your image.

You better be home at 6:00 p.m.

Don't mess around and be late.

Wash the dishes.

A bit before summer vacation started,

Dad hit a motorcyclist while driving.

Luckily, neither of them got hurt.

I'm off to my club.

But Dad had alcohol in his blood

and was a high school teacher,

so he got suspended for a while

and stayed home every day.

Good morning, Taka my dear. Do you have school club?

I'll leave these veggies in your kitchen.

Hey. Is Tadao still depressed?

Is Yoshiko bullying him?

She can be so mean.

At a time like this, a wife should support her husband.

-When we... -After Dad got suspended,

Grandma, who lived in the annex,

came in everyday when Mom was out.

What is she thinking? I can't understand her at all.

I'm going.

Bye now. Take care.

Oh, Haru is coming today, isn't she?

Has Yoshiko prepared anything?

Hey! Takashi.

Put some proper clothes on.

Buy August's Pure Literature for me. Here.

Why don't you buy it?

I'll buy it for you.

You're still submitting?

That silly boy.

He's not a criminal. There's no need to be ashamed.

Right?

He is a criminal.

What?

When did I start thinking of Dad as pathetic?

When his novels didn't get selected and he took it out on us?

When we got overtaken in my elementary school's

parent-child race?

Pardon me, but...

When he failed the vice-principal exam yearly

-despite paying bribes? -Please!

Please!

Anyway, at some point,

I decided I didn't want to become like Dad.

KYOKO YOKUSHIMARU L

Are you coming?

The timing is...

Okay, one more time.

One more time. Go back.

Forget the last take. Run fast.

Here we go!

Don't think.

Smile. Here we go!

Ready, action!

Hey. Don't get angry over it.

I found out afterward.

Afterward.

Takeuchi gets too carried away.

That hurt.

Hey.

What, they're filming again?

Noda! What are you filming?

What? Are they at it again?

Damn it! Noda! Don't you dare make a porno!

Hey. We're shooting for real.

Don't ruin it.

What? But, sir, you're our judo coach.

I am, but...

I'll look in later.

Do ukemi.

Or dandori.

It's not dandori , it's randori !

If you mess that up again, I'll give you an Antonio Special!

No...

No, thanks.

We'll be done soon, okay?

Okay?

Let's go!

Shush, my ass.

Chrome dome!

They're crazy.

Is it for Action Camera ?

It could be.

Noda has read it since elementary school.

You read it too.

-No, I didn't. -Yes, you did.

-No, I didn't. -You did.

-No, I didn't. -Don't lie.

You dick. I read Scholar .

But, you know,

it's like they've changed since they won that award.

How?

Kind of...

It's because of that newspaper story.

Let's piledrive them at homeroom.

I want to feel up Yokushimaru's tits!

For real!

Yokushimaru!

Let me feel you up!

What? Don't you guys want to?

Hey, isn't today the day she comes?

Oh, it is. To World.

Is it today?

Anyway, who said so?

Isn't it just a rumor?

Kyoko Koizumi was supposed to come last year

but she didn't.

That was obviously fake.

The Hong Kong mafia was going to attack Japan too.

Mitsuru said his dad got shot.

Right?

Hey!

-Hey! -That hurts!

Hey, you'll break it.

Inoki and I are arm-breakers.

That hurts!

How about it?

What?

Well, do you want to stop by World after school?

They might have information.

You want to suck Yokushimaru's titties that much?

It's not anything like that.

Bullshit!

It's me!

Black Angels!

Black Angels!

KYOKO YOKUSHIMARU L

But there was more to the rumor.

At midnight,

she would let you suck her boobs.

For us bored junior high third years on vacation,

it was too exciting to ignore.

Hand signal, left turn!

I'm going to fart!

RENTAL SHOP WORLD

Cut it out. You reek!

That was a big one. What a stink.

Edelweiss

-My fart smells nice -What's going on?

Hey. Shut the hell up.

Shit!

Search for information on Yokushimaru.

Takashi and Mitsuru, go there.

Okada, stay here.

Okada?

You scared me.

There's no Yokushimaru information.

The rumor's a fake?

I bet there's information in there.

-Mitsuru, go look. -No way.

We're not allowed in there.

It's okay! I'll allow you.

-Go! -I can't!

-Come on! Go! -No!

-Go, damn it! -Hey!
