00:02:38,241 --> 00:02:41,{Y:i}The girl he had a crush on moved away

00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:48,{Y:i}hajime haruno regretted never having
told her, nor talked to her

00:02:49,002 --> 00:02:51,{Y:i}Not that it was going to make
any difference,

00:02:51,796 --> 00:02:56,{Y:i}as he knew he never had the guts
to confess anyway

00:02:56,926 --> 00:03:01,{Y:i}And all this self criticism made him

00:03:02,098 --> 00:03:03,regret even more

00:03:17,822 --> 00:03:26,THE TASTE OF TEA

00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,Sachiko!

00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:42,What?

00:06:43,153 --> 00:06:45,The tea's getting cold!

00:07:32,035 --> 00:07:34,Or it could be

00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:37,Like this

00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:40,Like this

00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:43,Yeah the hands

00:07:44,047 --> 00:07:44,Like this

00:07:45,423 --> 00:07:46,And

00:07:50,553 --> 00:07:52,That could work

00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:55,The hand and

00:07:56,726 --> 00:07:58,I like it

00:07:58,228 --> 00:08:02,Remember that pose, okay?
I'll go get the camcorder

00:08:17,706 --> 00:08:19,Okay?
Just a sec

00:08:19,249 --> 00:08:20,Go

00:08:29,592 --> 00:08:31,It's a bit

00:08:33,471 --> 00:08:35,different than before

00:08:36,057 --> 00:08:38,It was like this, and then you went

00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:24,You know, I'm thinking
This pose?

00:09:26,149 --> 00:09:27,I think I'll go with this

00:09:31,654 --> 00:09:32,That?

00:09:33,907 --> 00:09:35,Isn't this better?

00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:49,Early July, I make my way into
a field of blooming sunflowers,

00:09:50,006 --> 00:09:54,Facing the golden sunlight
as they set my heart on fire

00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:59,Are your eyes ablaze?
Are your ears ablaze?

00:09:59,349 --> 00:10:01,Is your soul ablaze?

00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:07,It recalls the words of Buddha in the
primordial Sutta Nipata scriptures

00:10:08,358 --> 00:10:13,For a long time, nothing burnt me
I spoke to no one,

00:10:13,530 --> 00:10:19,answered to no one Being a daughter,
a mother a wife

00:10:20,036 --> 00:10:26,and a human being kept me busy,
made me forget

00:10:26,501 --> 00:10:33,The color of the burning sky, the smell
of the warm earth Who is that calls?

00:10:33,883 --> 00:10:38,Why ** I not running, now that
I've been released in the field?

00:10:51,067 --> 00:10:55,Right, then Another poetry recital
from the vice principal

00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:59,Now, Murakami, anything on behalf of
the student council?

00:10:59,743 --> 00:11:00,Yes

00:11:06,541 --> 00:11:11,Um this is what we decided
at our last meeting

00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:14,1 Don't pick fights with Yamaguchi

00:11:14,549 --> 00:11:18,2 Don't throw stones at his house

00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:23,Sachiko haruno was wondering

00:11:23,224 --> 00:11:27,{Y:i}When on earth was that giant version of
her going to disappear?

00:11:27,979 --> 00:11:32,{Y:i}And whenever she wondered, there was
a story she always remembered,

00:11:32,317 --> 00:11:36,{Y:i}as she was doing now,
a story told by her uncle

00:11:36,988 --> 00:11:41,You know that pond you often go to?

00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:44,That area used to be a forest

00:11:45,538 --> 00:11:48,Folks here called it the haunted forest

00:11:51,461 --> 00:11:54,And so well

00:11:54,881 --> 00:12:00,dunno, maybe kids these days don't
believe in haunted forests but

00:12:01,096 --> 00:12:02,I guess

00:12:02,972 --> 00:12:08,You guess ? Anyway, er
Oh, yeah

00:12:09,062 --> 00:12:13,So I was in 6th grade

00:12:14,401 --> 00:12:19,No, in 5th about 5th grade

00:12:20,365 --> 00:12:21,In the haunted forest?

00:12:22,283 --> 00:12:26,Right, where I took a s***t outdoors
for the very first time

00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,S***t outdoors?
Yep

00:12:29,791 --> 00:12:36,For some reason there were
lots of wild chickens out there

00:12:36,339 --> 00:12:40,maybe they flew the coop, dunno,
but kinda having no money,

00:12:41,177 --> 00:12:43,I used to go there to find eggs, y'know?

00:12:44,431 --> 00:12:50,And on that day of my first outdoor s***t,
I didn't go to the bathroom all day

00:12:51,479 --> 00:12:55,Even after school, I was wandering about,
looking for a good spot

00:12:56,860 --> 00:13:02,I ended up going to the forest, but
still couldn't decide where to do it

00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:08,It's surprising how much you struggle
in spite of wanting to go for it, y'know?

00:13:09,330 --> 00:13:15,Anyway, I soon came across this egg

00:13:16,212 --> 00:13:23,It was half buried in the ground,
like somebody had tried to hide it

00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:30,It was weird, but somehow gave me
the impetus And I badly needed to go

00:13:30,352 --> 00:13:33,So, I did it, right then and there

00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:38,Because I'd kept it in for so long,
it was quite a dump

00:13:39,194 --> 00:13:45,I felt great afterwards,
till I noticed how dark it had gotten

00:13:45,784 --> 00:13:52,I suddenly felt scared and went home
But on the way back, I started thinking

00:13:53,083 --> 00:13:56,What the hell was a huge egg
like that doing there?

00:13:57,671 --> 00:14:00,And why did someone try to bury it?

00:14:00,924 --> 00:14:05,And on top of that,
why did I have to s***t on it?

00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:11,Normally I'd have brought it back home,
a big egg like that

00:14:12,143 --> 00:14:16,And thinking like that made me feel
really miserable

00:14:17,732 --> 00:14:21,But I let it pass for the day

00:14:21,444 --> 00:14:25,After that I kept going back
to look for it, but it just

00:14:26,116 --> 00:14:27,disappeared

00:14:27,951 --> 00:14:30,It's not like I wasn't familiar
with the forest, y'know?

00:14:31,746 --> 00:14:34,But I couldn't find it

00:14:35,458 --> 00:14:38,So I finally gave up looking

00:14:39,337 --> 00:14:41,And that's when this guy showed up

00:14:41,256 --> 00:14:42,What guy?

00:14:43,091 --> 00:14:46,A guy covered with tattoos, bleeding

00:14:47,262 --> 00:14:50,You mean, like a ghost or something?

00:14:51,683 --> 00:14:52,Yeah, maybe

00:14:53,059 --> 00:14:54,God

00:14:56,521 --> 00:15:00,He'd be watching me at every turn

00:15:01,568 --> 00:15:07,It was freaky He'd be there whenever
I let my guard down

00:15:07,657 --> 00:15:08,Like when?

00:15:08,992 --> 00:15:13,Like when I'd be cleaning up at school

00:15:14,164 --> 00:15:20,Raking the school yard
cleaning out the chicken coop

00:15:20,337 --> 00:15:22,You were cleaning 24/7!

00:15:22,339 --> 00:15:29,Shut up! He also appeared when I was
studying, right here in this room!

00:15:30,347 --> 00:15:34,And when I visited the shrine

00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:40,Anyway, he'd show up, no
He'd just be there, watching me

00:15:41,149 --> 00:15:43,But why was he covered
in blood and tattoos?

00:15:45,487 --> 00:15:47,Beats me

00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:54,Wonder why Anyway he was all bloody,
tattooed

00:15:55,163 --> 00:15:56,And had s***t on his head

00:15:56,623 --> 00:15:57,S***t?!

00:15:58,792 --> 00:16:01,Yeah S***t blood and tattoos

00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:07,Wait, does that have anything to do
with you shitting in the haunted forest?

00:16:08,134 --> 00:16:12,Dunno probably not

00:16:13,556 --> 00:16:18,Anyway, so this guy
Hey, it's a pretty good story, right?

00:16:18,186 --> 00:16:21,Yeah weird but cool

00:16:22,524 --> 00:16:27,So he's watching me, till one day,
he suddenly disappears

00:16:28,655 --> 00:16:29,Disappears?!

00:16:30,115 --> 00:16:33,I was working on the horizontal bar

00:16:34,494 --> 00:16:38,Practicing all day, while he stared on

00:16:39,958 --> 00:16:42,I'd sorta gotten used to him by then

00:16:43,086 --> 00:16:46,So I thought what the heck
and kept practicing

00:16:47,424 --> 00:16:49,Then, when I finally g***t around the bar,

00:16:50,010 --> 00:16:51,he disappeared

00:16:51,970 --> 00:16:54,Just like that

00:16:55,890 --> 00:17:02,Sachiko often wondered if the best way
to get rid of the big Sachiko was to do

00:17:02,355 --> 00:17:05,{Y:i}a backflip on the horizontal bar

00:17:06,151 --> 00:17:11,{Y:i}however, something held her back,
kept her from practicing

00:17:11,781 --> 00:17:13,{Y:i}One of the key points being

00:17:13,950 --> 00:17:18,{Y:i}that the man watching her uncle was
a total stranger covered in blood,

00:17:19,456 --> 00:17:22,{Y:i}whereas the person watching her,
was herself

00:17:23,585 --> 00:17:30,{Y:i}Perhaps his case wasn't so useful
in solving her problem, she'd conclude,

00:17:30,383 --> 00:17:33,{Y:i}every time she remembered his story

00:17:34,471 --> 00:17:39,{Y:i}Anyway, there actually was another
episode even Ayano didn't know about

00:17:39,726 --> 00:17:47,{Y:i}Something which happened right about
the time he managed his first backflip

00:17:48,401 --> 00:17:49,Boss!

00:17:50,153 --> 00:17:51,Hey

00:17:52,197 --> 00:17:53,What the hell

00:17:54,699 --> 00:17:56,Skull fracture?

00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,No See this and this?
Guy's been shot

00:18:01,331 --> 00:18:02,It's a yakuza case?

00:18:02,957 --> 00:18:03,Yes

00:18:03,875...
