FunTranscript
00:00Unless we find the first issue, we're kind of spinning our wheels.
00:12Yeah, you're right.
00:14It might be a good idea to bring Satoshi and Ibarai in on this.
00:18No, I'd really rather not.
00:21Well, it could take a long time for us to solve this, and we might not find anything out before your uncle's funeral.
00:28This funeral?
00:30Fine, let's ask them. I have a feeling that we're going to need all the help we can get to figure it out.
00:46I just... I have to know! What happened to my uncle so long ago has weighed on me for years. I'm begging you all to help me find out.
00:54Your uncle sounds like an interesting guy.
00:56Did all of that really happen?
00:58The story of a forgotten hero, uncovered by his niece, 45 years later.
01:03You know, we were just looking at some stuff from that period.
01:05That's true. I'm also fascinated by this picture. I'd love to help find out the truth.
01:10This is kind of exciting, huh?
01:11If we figure it out, we should write about it in the anthology. We can investigate all we want and call it club business.
01:20And so, this is the story of how all the members of the Classic Lit Club became fully invested in illuminating the mysteries of its past.
01:27This is the story of how all the members of the Classic Lit Club became fully invested in the past.
01:32This is the story of how all the members of the Classic Lit Club became fully invested in the past.
01:36This is the story of how all the members of the Classic Lit Club became fully invested in the past.
01:42This is the story of how all the members of the Classic Lit Club became fully invested in the past.
01:46What is such a lot ofds choice and full-posedies in the past?
02:11雲に空覗いた予感 手を伸べそう いつよりも力強い勇気で
02:27光も影も また遠くて それでも僕らは 優しさの理由が知りたい
02:38今は誰の名前でもない 輝きの彼方へ
02:45全部 過去になる前に 見つけに行こう
02:57Hey there! Did you wait long? Hey, what is your problem, man?
03:09Put a sock in it! What's the matter with you screaming like that?
03:12Cut it out! Anyway, did you bring all your research to present?
03:15Of course. And what about you? Did you find anything good?
03:18Yeah, I found a few things. Awesome. I'm looking forward to hearing your hypothesis, too.
03:22Oh, crap. I forgot we were supposed to come up with one.
03:26Alright, let's get going. The Chitanas are a super rich farming family, so their mansion should be top-notch.
03:33I'm glad you're enjoying yourself so much. What can I say? I love cycling.
03:55Speeding through town like the wind by the power of your legs alone is thrilling, you know?
03:59Not that. I'm talking about your whole attitude about high school life so far.
04:03Oh, right. The sunshine and roses bit.
04:06That's just me. I like to stay sunny regardless of my circumstances.
04:12I'd say sunny is putting it kinda mildly.
04:15Whatever. Why should anybody live their life under a little black cloud?
04:19You said that last time we discussed this.
04:21Did I really? Well, I don't mean it as an insult or anything bad. It's just foreign to me.
04:25Hmm. I guess my attitude is all sunshine and roses at the end of the day. You can throw shade all you want, but it's not gonna change that. I won't be rained out.
04:34Well, maybe you should rain it in a little. Not a chance, buddy. What's the big problem? You think I'm overextending myself with all these extracurricular activities, is that it?
04:43Well, am I wrong?
04:44Yeah, you are. Even if I weren't in clubs, I'd find things to do. I'm just an energetic guy, you know? And if I wanted to insult you, I'd call you boring, not pessimistic.
04:56Hmm. Yeah, well, I really don't care what you think about me anyway.
05:01That's pretty obvious. Oh, hey, how did you end up doing on your midterms?
05:06Average overall, of course.
05:08There's that little black cloud again. Hmm. There it is, up ahead. That's the Chitanda family estate.
05:20What did I tell you? Pretty sick digs, right?
05:23Come on, they're probably getting antsy in there.
05:26Fine. Hey, wait!
05:29Wouldn't it be super cool if a butler came to escort us in?
05:38I'm glad you made it. We thought you guys got lost.
05:41Sorry.
05:44Don't mind if I do.
05:45Come on in. We're back here.
05:47Stay where you want. Make yourselves at home, okay?
06:04You sure took your time.
06:08We aren't even late. Calm down.
06:10Hm.
06:11I've never seen a man less suited to take the seat at the head of the table.
06:16All right. I guess we should get this party started, don't you think?
06:20Second!
06:21Sure.
06:22Yeah.
06:23The purpose of today's meeting is to investigate what took place within the Classic Lit Club 45 years ago.
06:28If we do happen to find out anything, then I want to include it in the anthology for the festival this year.
06:33First, let's each share reports on any data we've gathered, followed by some Q&A about those findings, then propose our hypotheses.
06:40Finally, we'll discuss the various theories and decide how we should proceed from there.
06:44Dang. She's kind of a natural leader.
06:46Okay, who do we think should go first? I mean...
06:49Huh?
06:50Oh jeez, I can't decide who should start.
06:53I take it back. Does it really matter? Chitanda, why don't you lead us off, okay?
06:58Right, good idea. I'll begin and then we'll go in clockwise order from there.
07:02I decided to research the old anthology titled Hyoka. The only reference I could find to the events of our investigation was in this forward.
07:10I compiled all the facts from it and included them on the second page.
07:14Let's look at item one. Senpai refers to my uncle, Jun Sekitani, the subject of our quest.
07:20We know that Jun was kicked out of Kameyama High, and thus his academic career ended as a middle school graduate.
07:26Item two just shows that the story became more exaggerated as time passed. He started as a hero and turned into a legend.
07:35Items three and five are connected. He was a quiet and kind sentai, and once he turned warrior, he morphed into a hero. In the end, he became a martyr.
07:47Item four is curious to me, but we'll talk about that later.
07:51That concludes my presentation. What do you think? Any questions for me?
07:55I have one. Why did you leave out the part where the author says it was in no way a heroic tale?
08:00Because that's an opinion and I only included facts.
08:03Maybe by that they just mean the fights were really scrappy, that they weren't anything awe-inspiring or remarkable.
08:08That could be true.
08:09Okay, now let me tell you my hypothesis. I think my uncle may have protested some school policy and was asked to leave as a result.
08:17There's something else. It's not stated objectively in the foreword, but I inferred it from the wording.
08:22This says it had been a year since the events occurred. That means my uncle was expelled around the time of the previous kanyasai.
08:28This is kind of off-topic, but my friend who goes to another school told me that they had an incident at their cultural festival last year.
08:35A Culture Fest shakedown! Extortion and larceny! A dark, seedy underbelly!
08:39I guess every generation has its crooks who want to spoil it for the rest of us.
08:43Maybe people like that tried to target Kamihai's festival that year, and when my uncle led the charge to defend the school against them, he got punished for fighting.
08:51That would be in line with the whole hero narrative.
08:54I think the underclassmen who looked up to my uncle for his bravery were mad that he got expelled and they wrote this in honor of him.
09:01Hmm. I don't buy it.
09:03Yeah, I agree with Hotaro.
09:04Seriously? What part of it doesn't add up to you?
09:07Well, for starters, do you remember what I suggested we do instead of the anthology when you first brought it up to me that day?
09:13Let me see. A concession stand!
09:16That's right. You told me that selling refreshments had never been allowed at the Kaniasai before.
09:21So why would anyone try to rip off a festival where they knew no money would be changing hands?
09:25They might have come with other bad intentions besides stealing people's money.
09:29Didn't think of that one, did you, Hotaro?
09:32Fine. Why don't you wow us with your take on her theory?
09:35A bunch of punks disrupting the Kaniasai, I'm sorry to say, would never have happened back then.
09:41Why not?
09:42When you think of that time period, the 1960s, what images come to mind?
09:47Hmm.
09:48Tokyo? The diet building? Protests? People carrying signs?
09:52Satoshi, why don't you get to the point already?
09:55Peaceful student activism.
09:57You see, the kind of on-campus violence Chitanda presents in her hypothesis wasn't even a thing yet in the 60s, at least not around here anyway.
10:04We were fighting against the man back then, the system in the state. There wasn't any animosity toward the teachers or the schools.
10:10Don't try to make it sound like you were there.
10:13I obviously wasn't, but I did some in-depth research.
10:16You're right. I didn't take the social climate of the time into account.
10:19I'm really sorry, Chi!
10:21What are you apologizing for, Mayaka?
10:23The information I found in my research doesn't support your theory either.
10:27I wanted to wait my turn so I didn't say anything, but my info refutes your claim.
10:31Damn it, Ibra. You just let me waste my breath?
10:34No worries. I think it's safe to withdraw my theory for right now, so Mayaka, why don't you share your findings with the group?
10:40Is that alright with you guys?
10:41Sure thing.
10:42Yeah!
10:43Uhhh, man, my butt is falling asleep.
10:46This might be rude, but your estate is ginormous, Chitanda. Do you have a pond in your gardens?
10:51Yep, we sure do.
10:52Really? I'd love to check it out. Would that be cool with you?
10:55Oh yeah, I want to see it too.
10:57Okay, why don't we move the meeting outside then? It's such a lovely day to sit out on the veranda.
11:02A pond? Wow.
11:05This is a copy of a booklet I found in the library called Solidarity and Salutes, Issue 1.
11:23I couldn't find Issues 2 or higher, though. It was published 45 years ago, the same as Cheese.
11:30Our valiant activism. Really? That sounds so old-fashioned.
11:34Okay, let's dive in.
11:36We in this case refers to the students while the terms reactionary forces and authoritarians refer to the teachers.
11:42The previous June, there was some kind of conflict, and Jun Sekitani, the president of the Classic Lit Club, spearheaded it.
11:49The students under his leadership engaged in what they called activism by sticking it to the teachers.
11:55Interesting. I wonder what their methods of protesting were.
11:58This Solidarity and Salute stuff seems a little silly, doesn't it?
12:02What do you mean by that?
12:03I'm not knocking it. I just think it makes a presumably common high school complaint out to be on par with a legitimate real-world protest, you know?
12:10So does that have any bearing on this research?
12:13Nope, I'm just thinking out loud. Sorry for interrupting you guys.
12:16Alright. Any questions, or can we keep going?
12:19Well, here's my hypothesis. Like I said, Cheese Theory doesn't work. According to Solidarity and Salutes, the incident in question happened in June.
12:28As for what Sekitani did to get expelled, violence is what comes to mind, right?
12:32So in other words, he and the students he inspired got themselves all riled up, and they let the teachers have it.
12:40There isn't any evidence he actually hit anyone, though.
12:43Something happened that threatened to take away the students' freedoms.
12:46They must have rallied together to fight against that perceived injustice.
12:50And my uncle was their leader?
12:52Hmm. I'm almost completely on board with your hypothesis, I think.
12:56Why almost?
12:57To sum up, your theory is that the students resorted to violent resistance in protest of some sort of oppression by the teachers. Is that it?
13:04Yeah, pretty much.
13:05It's a decent hypothesis overall, but honestly, I think it's a little too vague to fit the bill.
13:10Well, my theory doesn't mention anything specific, that's for sure. But are there flaws in it?
13:15Uh-huh.
13:16Both Hyoka and Solidarity and Salutes claim the incident occurred in June, but we know he wasn't expelled until October.
13:22If he had led some violent uprising against the teachers, he would have been expelled immediately.
13:26Fine, then.
13:27Yeah, I'm curious about why they'd wait four months to expel him, too.
13:30In Hyoka, it states that it had been a year since he left, and it was published in October, so that must be accurate.
13:36Hmm. Okay, guys, I get it. My theory doesn't work.
13:39I think you're on the right track with the protest, though.
13:41Yeah, I agree.
13:42Well then, I guess that means it's the end of my turn, doesn't it?
13:46Yes, thank you for your input.
13:48Okay, moving on.
13:49Sorry. Sounds like my stomach wants to contribute.
13:52Geez, you just ate a bunch of junk food.
13:55Yeah.
13:56I can make you some onigiri if you want.
13:58What about you guys? Sound good?
14:00Hey, Chi, do you need any help with those?
14:17No, I'm fine, but thanks for asking.
14:20You sure?
14:21Uh-huh.
14:22Huh?
14:23Handmade snacks, bro.
14:26Calm down, weirdo.
14:28Wait, Fuku, doesn't this-
14:30Mayaka, I'm sorry.
14:32According to this data, your hypothesis can't be accurate, not even a little bit.
14:36I forgot to say it earlier.
14:37Fine, whatever.
14:38Is this the Kamihai monthly newsletter?
14:44I just remembered Togaito mentioning they were approaching the 500th issue.
14:48Yeah, he's right.
14:49There are about 500.
14:51I took a quick look through almost all of the back issues, but my research didn't turn up very much.
14:55This article was all that mentioned an incident from back then, and trust me, I looked.
14:59Page two is a summary of what it says.
15:01The first one and the last one say the same thing.
15:04No violence occurred at all during the incident.
15:07So, Mayaka, there's proof against your theory.
15:09Also, if we refers to all of the students, it says they were in solidarity, so the entire student body could have been involved.
15:16At the very least, it means everyone in school supported those who actively participated.
15:20Here you go.
15:22Thanks for waiting.
15:23Wow.
15:24These look amazing.
15:25Thanks.
15:26Sure.
15:27I made a few each of plum, kelp, and mustard leaf.
15:30Help yourselves, okay?
15:32Thank you for the food.
15:34Huh?
15:35What's the matter with you?
15:37Nothing.
15:42Pasty.
15:43Delicious.
15:45Hey, Chitanda, is this rice from here on your family's farm?
15:48It sure is.
15:49Oh, do you guys have any questions?
15:51Yeah, are you positive that this is the legendary movement that got Junsekitani expelled from school?
15:56This blurb doesn't seem like enough to support that.
15:59Who knows?
16:00That's all I've got.
16:01That's all you've got?
16:02How can we even count it as data?
16:04I don't know.
16:05Maybe we can't.
16:06We can still consider it as circumstantial evidence, though.
16:09If the Junsekitani incident and the legendary movement were different events, there would be something in there distinguishing this as the legendary movement, wouldn't there?
16:17She's right.
16:18That's what I meant to say.
16:19Thank you for sorting it out.
16:20Hm.
16:21Okay, then what's your hypothesis?
16:24Uh, well about that.
16:26I'd love to hear it.
16:27Unfortunately, I don't really have one to offer the group right now.
16:30My research only uncovered enough to correct the theory Ibarra offered.
16:34And besides, it's not a database's function to draw conclusions.
16:38I knew he'd say that.
16:41Now then...
16:42Thanks so much.
16:43You're welcome.
16:44What should I do?
16:45Okay, Oreki.
16:46It's your turn now.
16:47Hotaro, is this what I think it is?
16:54The 50-year progress of Kamiyama's secondary school?
16:57It is.
16:58I thought there might be something in the public record about the incident.
17:01But now that I look at it again, there's nothing at all worth mentioning to the group.
17:06I haven't come up with a hypothesis either.
17:09What's going on? You're acting weird.
17:12What's the matter?
17:13Did you forget how you're supposed to proceed?
17:16You start by presenting your research.
17:19Does this even qualify as something I have to do in the first place?
17:23You're freaking me out a little.
17:26What's up with you?
17:28Are you feeling okay?
17:32Stop it.
17:33Should I blow this off?
17:39Whoa, you scared me.
17:41Sorry, I forgot that I have some shiitake mushrooms drying outside.
17:45I have to bring them in out of the rain.
17:47Do you need any help with them?
17:48No, it's okay.
17:50Hey, Chitanda.
17:51What is it?
17:52Sorry, but would it be okay if I used your restroom?
17:54Oh, of course.
17:55Just go right through that door and then straight down the hall.
17:58You'll see it.
17:59Are you nervous about presenting?
18:03Straight down the hall.
18:04I'll see it, she says.
18:09While I'm lost.
18:27She's done so much research.
18:30The least I can do is put my brain to work for a bit.
18:3345 years ago, something happened to Junsekitani.
18:41There are four different accounts.
18:43What's the common thread that ties them all together?
18:47I've got to think.
18:52Student activism.
18:53Nonviolent resistance.
18:55Four months between the event and his expulsion.
18:58What happened to Junsekitani?
19:00What did he do?
19:03You sure were gone a long time.
19:06Well, excuse me.
19:07It was my turn to present my research, right?
19:10Sorry, but I don't have a hypothesis.
19:12So would it be okay if we just skipped my turn?
19:14We could move right on to the wrap-up.
19:16Stop playing.
19:17You figured it out.
19:18I can tell.
19:19Maybe.
19:20I think I've got a general explanation.
19:22You've solved the mystery, haven't you, Araki?
19:24Calm down, Chitanda.
19:25Let him explain.
19:26Yeah, come on, impress us.
19:29You better not let us down now.
19:31Alright, but I have to explain it in stages.
19:35First, let's establish the when.
19:37Well, we know it happened 45 years ago, for starters.
19:40If we trust both Hyoka and Solidarity and Salutes,
19:43then we know the incident took place in June,
19:45but that our hero left in October.
19:47Next, the where.
19:49We all know what happened at our own Kamiyama High School.
19:52As for the who, according to Solidarity and Salutes,
19:55our main player is Jun Sekitani,
19:57president of the Classic Lit Club.
19:59From the Kamihai Monthly Newsletter,
20:01we learned that the entire student body was somehow involved.
20:04Now, for the why, it makes the most sense that the students
20:07would rise up in solidarity against the teachers.
20:10To borrow from Ibarra, the students likely rose up
20:12because something happened and they thought it threatened their freedom.
20:15And the event that caused the whole problem was...
20:19The Cultural Festival.
20:22Where did it say in any of the research
20:24that the Cultural Festival was the cause of it?
20:26It didn't, but just hear me out for a minute.
20:28In June, the teachers and students met to discuss the details of the festival,
20:32and they decided that the event would be held four months later in October.
20:36Are you referring to this part where it says
20:38meeting to consider the Cultural Festival?
20:40Exactly. Now take another look at it.
20:43Hmm. There are circles and squares marked at the top of each entry in the calendar.
20:49I've got it!
20:50Squares are recurring events that happen every year,
20:52but the circles are things that only took place that year.
20:55That's right. The same notation appears on calendars for other years, too.
20:58This is the only year that they held a meeting to discuss the Cultural Festival.
21:02But why is that?
21:03I bet that 45 years ago the student body demanded it.
21:06I found a clue in Hyoka. Right here.
21:10In the past year Senpai has gone from being a hero to a legend.
21:13The Cultural Festival will continue its five-day run in spite of everything.
21:17I think the key words here are five-day run, especially with the in spite of everything.
21:22What does that mean?
21:23The length of the Cultural Festival is what Junsekitani was fighting the teachers for.
21:28I'm just guessing, but combine that with this mention of the principal placing heightened emphasis on academics.
21:33I believe that the administration was trying to shorten the length of the festival against the kids' wishes.
21:38I could imagine that throwing the whole student body into a burning rage.
21:42That was the motivation, I bet. The why.
21:45As for the incident itself, let's talk about that.
21:48The how.
21:49The valiant activism, which was popular at the time,
21:52was carried out by none other than Classic Lit Club President Junsekitani.
21:56This leads us to the ultimate question. The what?
21:58The students did not engage in violence.
22:00Instead, they most likely decided to boycott class.
22:03With no one to teach, the school had to acquiesce and meet with the students,
22:07deciding to abandon the plan to shorten the festival.
22:10But someone had to pay, and thus, Sekitani was expelled.
22:14So why did so much time pass between the event and the expulsion?
22:17Well, if he'd been kicked out in June while tempers were hot, it would have made things worse.
22:21So they probably waited until after the festival when the hype had died down a bit.
22:26That's all I've got for the wrap-up.
22:28Now I finally know. That's what happened to him.
22:43Excellent work. That was really impressive.
22:45No. Yeah, you've really outdone yourself with that one, Hotaro. It all adds up, huh?
22:51Why does he get it every time? It's so freaking annoying!
22:54It came to me.
22:57Do either of you have objections to his theory?
23:00None here.
23:01I hate to admit it, but I think he's right.
23:04Well, in that case, let's focus this year's Classic Lit Club Anthology on proving Odaqy's theory.
23:09We'll get started on that a little bit later in the term.
23:12On that note, I guess this meeting is adjourned. Thank you for your hard work.
23:16I can't express how much I appreciate this.
23:20It's not like I did it all by myself, you know.
23:22That's true, but you're the one who found the answer.
23:25I'll get your umbrella back to you at school. Well, see ya.
23:46I'm sorry.
23:58Although...
24:00Would hearing that story as a child really have made me cry as much as I did?
24:09Ne, meiつけてne, maduromi no yakuzoku
