The Flowers of Evil (惡の華)

Fine.

I won't tell anyone.

Huh?

In return...

I want you

to make a contract with me.

A contract?

Yes...

A contract... with me.

Huh. Someone's here!

NAKAMURA

Hey!

- What are you... - I see.

What is it?

So this is what the hand of a pervert that fondled Saeki's gym clothes smells like.

I didn't fondle them!

Don't try to hide it.

I'll keep your secret about the gym clothes,

but in exchange, you have to reveal everything to me.

That's our contract.

Still, I didn't fondle...

Hey, want a sniff?

- My hands smell nice these days. - No, I'm good.

- Why not? Take a sniff. - No...

No thanks. Stop it!

I don't want to!

Come on, sniff it. Sniff it!

- I'll pass! - Smell that?

Let me go!

We can't let this go!

Who stole them?

We told you we don't know.

Why do you assume one of us guys did it? Right, Kasuga?

Obviously, it's a guy that stole Nanako's gym clothes!

Hey, Nakamura.

Where were you when Nanako's gym clothes went missing?

Wait, Nakamura's a suspect?

You know, I think I saw her heading back here.

For real?

What? No, no, no. It's not Nakamura.

Get out of my way, shitty scum.

What?

How dare you...

You did it, didn't you?

- Out of my way. - That hurt!

Yeah, I'm sure of it now! You all saw that, right?

That was assault. Assault! You gotta be kidding me.

See, it was one of the girls after all. Theft is crazy, though.

- It's a straight-up crime. - Right?

Hey, are you even awake?

- No. - Say something.

Think of poor Nanako!

No, you've got it wrong.

- Are you listening? - No. No.

It's not her!

Uh... No, I mean... You... You don't have proof or anything.

What?

What is this?

Kasuga, do you have a crush on Nakamura?

- No, that's not... - Kasuga, no way! Seriously?

- Kasuga. - No, I don't!

- Man, what kind of taste do you have? - Stop it! Cut it out.

- Think about it objectively. - You can tell me anything.

- Stop it. - Objectively?

- Cut it out! Sit down. - What about her do you like?

Nakamura, of all people? Man, he's something else.

Darn it! How did this happen?

I don't have feelings for Nakamura...

Hey, want a sniff?

My hands smell nice these days.

No, it's not like that!

I...

My Venus is...

Kasuga.

Huh?

What?

Shoot! No way. What? Who's she talking to? To me? Saeki?

Saeki?

Kasuga...

I can't believe you'd say something like that.

No! Well, you see... That was...

That was really cool.

What?

What are you grinning about?

Wait, do you have a fever or something?

- I guess not. - This is adolescence.

Proof that he's growing up healthy.

Mmm...

Your eyes are transparent prisms.

That was really cool.

With ease, you expel the irredeemable sin within me.

That was really cool.

SAEKI

I will never take these out again.

Thank you, Saeki,

for cleansing me of my sin.

EPISODE 2

Finally, about Saeki's gym clothes...

We received a report that a suspicious man was wandering near the school that day.

The police want to ask you some questions, so we'll have study hall for first period.

Quiet. Keep it down.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Kasuga.

You seemed really eager to defend Nakamura yesterday.

I bet you know something

about this suspicious man.

There you go, reading that book again.

As if you understand any of it.

Reporting from the scene of the crime,

we'll now ask Mr. K about the sighting of a suspicious man.

- Mr. K, Mr. K, Mr. K! - What is this?

Do you know anything about the man?

What's your relationship to the victim, Ms. Nanako Saeki?

- Mr. K, Mr. K, Mr. K! - What is this? Come on, go home!

See ya!

- Mr. K! - Huh?

When you're done cleaning, meet me behind the school.

- Hey, Kasuga. - Huh?

All done cleaning?

- Yeah. - Thanks as always.

Uh... Need help with that?

What?

Aren't you in a hurry, though?

Uh... No, not at all.

Three crows.

Four crows.

He's late!

By the way,

I forgot to mention this yesterday, but...

What is it?

No way. Does she know?

About the other day...

I'm sorry.

Sorry... For what?

When you bumped into me in the library

you didn't do it on purpose,

but I freaked out and ran out of the room.

Sorry about that.

Ah... No, well...

You know,

I was wondering.

What do you do for fun, Kasuga?

Um...

I go to the used bookstore on the shopping street.

My dad said that they carry rare books that you wouldn't even find in Tokyo.

Wow! That sounds interesting.

It does?

The used bookstore...

I haven't been there.

I wonder what it's like.

Would... you like to go?

Like, this Sunday?

What?

No, I mean, you don't have to...

We don't have to go together.

- Never mind. Forget it. - What?

Wait, what was that? Say it again.

Sorry...

Wanna go?

This Sunday?

Really?

Kasuga!

Kasuga!

Hey!

How are you feeling?

You're about to go on your first date with Saeki.

Are you excited?

What is it?

Why did you drag me in here?

Do you have the thing...

I told you to bring?

COME 30 MIN. EARLY. BRING SAEKI'S GYM CLOTHES.

I vowed I'd never open this again...

THE FLOWERS OF EVIL

I mean, I did, but...

Okay then, get changed.

Wear her gym clothes underneath during your date today.
