Akai bunka jutaku no hatsuko (赤い文化住宅の初子)

You did a great job.

Keep going, keep up the good work.

If you can do this every day,

your academic performance will improve.

Mishima, I'm going back now.

What's wrong? Are you going to work again?

If things continue like this,

there won't be much time for studying.

Hey, pass the noodles over.

Hurry up.

Sorry for the long wait.

Didn't I ask you to bring the alcohol first?

Why did you bring the noodles instead?

Just go and bring the alcohol now.

Bottle opener.

Sorry.

Boss, one bowl of ramen, please.

It's 600 yen per day.

Only high school students can get it.

I hope I'm friendly enough to you.

It's impressive for a middle school student to make this much.

Thank you for your hard work.

Money.

Hatsuko's World.

No.

I'm back.

Mom.

I'm tired.

This way, we can buy textbooks.

I still want reference books.

Brother, you're back.

Do you want to eat?

Here you go.

You're doing this again.

What are you pointing at?

Hatsuko.

I know you really want to study.

But what should we do if things continue like this?

Don't go to school.

Be like me.

As your brother, I can still take care of you.

Burying yourself in books all day long,

what future is there?

Maybe you should

just find a job directly after junior high school graduation.

As your brother, there's not much I can do to help you.

Now, it's up to you.

Brother.

I'm going out for a bit.

Later, make sure you pay the electricity bill.

I'm leaving.

Electricity bill.

Who can mark me present?

She drank too much again today.

She's always like this.

Who can mark me present?

Mishima.

Ando check.

Ishida, Zaihon, check.

Uno, Uno.

Watanabe, Kikuchi, check.

Yamashita, Tamori, check.

Today...

What's wrong?

You're acting strange today. You've been daydreaming since morning.

Maybe it's because of studying.

What's wrong?

I can't catch up with everyone.

Idiot.

Don't you understand studying?

I'll tutor you.

I'll definitely help you improve your grades.

I'll explain it in detail.

It's okay.

Little sis,

what are you doing in this place?

It's dangerous for a girl to stand here.

If you don't know the way,

come with Auntie.

No need. I know the way.

Get on.

Hurry up and get on.

Hatsuko, aren't you afraid?

Not afraid.

I'm really scared.

Do you have younger sister named Hatsuko?

What a cute name!

Do you have siblings?

Do you have an older brother?

It's dangerous for you to be like this.

Your parents will worry too.

I don't have parents.

Is that so?

Auntie said something she shouldn't have.

- I'm sorry. - it's okay.

Is this the place?

Yes, thank you.

Hatsuko, Hatsuko..

This is for you.

How can I accept this?

And also,

take this too.

I really don't need it.

Okay, okay.

You must work hard from now on.

I'm leaving.

I'm leaving.

We can buy reference books now.

It's cute, isn't it? It must suit you well.

You can wear it on a date.

Can I have the money...

1,155 yen and 1,470 yen.

2,525... 2,625 yen.

2,625 yen.

2,625 yen.

2,625 yen.

2,625 yen.

It's 10 yen short.

A total of 2,625 yen.

- Here's your 2,625 yen. - Thank you.

What's wrong?

It's pitch black.

The power is out.

Did it get disconnected?

Didn't you pay the electricity bill?

Even though I haven't paid today,

I planned to pay it in two days.

For this electricity...

we can still...

What are you wearing?

It's the uniform provided by the school.

With your grades like this,

you won't be able to graduate from middle school.

If things continue like this...

What's going on?

Brother, I want to go to high school.

That's why I'm working.

You want to go to high school with such grades?

You still don't understand, do you?

Hello. How are you? Take care of things for me, San.

It's impossible to graduate while working and studying at the same time.

Thank you.

You seem different today.

Is it because I'm dressed inappropriately?

It's appropriate.

What's wrong?

The summer vacation is about to start soon.

How about we both take the entrance exam for East High School?

He kicked me just now.

Hurry up and give birth.

Aren't you afraid I'll snatch your toys?

It's okay. You're going to be a big brother soon.

Mishima, I...

I have a child now.

It has grown so much.

- I have to go to work now. - Don't overwork yourself.

Take care. I'm leaving.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

what?

The store doesn't need you anymore.

Go find another job.

I still have work to do, so you can leave.

Welcome.

Give me two meat patties, please.

It's getting hotter and hotter.

Your meat patties are ready.

Please take them.

Thank you.

Thank you for your patronage. Thank you.

It's delicious.

Big brother.

I'm not going to high school anymore.

I am going to work.

Hatsuko, I'm sorry I'm late.

What's the matter?

I still can't go.

Go where?

To East High School.

why?

Didn't we agree to go together?

I'll teach you well.

Why are you still saying things like that?

What's wrong?

Um...

I can't do it.

What's this? How can you not keep your word?

Sorry to bother you.

No need anymore.

Where are you going again?

What's wrong?

It's not like that.

Some students have come now.

Tell this guy that I'm really a teacher.

Wait a minute.

What's the matter?

Preparation for graduation.

Is that so?

Wait a moment.

Find me a decent job to look at.
