I'm right here!
I'm...
A psychopath!
Everything written on that blog is...
True!
From now on...as much as possible, I will not to force myself to smile again.
Now then, let's begin the lesson.
A person's consciousness is at the tip of an iceberg.
Within the soul, there is an infinite unconsciousness that spreads.
Inside is where all the emotion, all the behavior and even time sleeps.
This little girl's unconsciousness can connect with other people's unconsciousness.
And when she sleeps, her soul awakens.
Other people's ominous future becomes her nightmare and materializes in the real world.

What does the word "freedom" mean?
Can anyone answer this?
Yes.
I don't care who, answer freely.
Without being pulled into your surroundings, it means to make judgments and actions based on your own thinking.
Why do you think that?
Because that's what I learned.
Well then, without being pulled into your surroundings.
Thinking for yourself, you want to be absent from school today. If you act on that, is that also called "freedom"?
That's not freedom.
That's discarding the meaning of freedom, and is wrong. That's called being selfish.
That's called truancy.
Is it really okay to be calling truancy entirely selfish?
Without thinking about that person's worries or surrounding environment, are you saying that is what we call "being selfish, and discarding the meaning of freedom".
Is making a proposal like that your freedom? Or is it your selfishness?
I...I didn't think it through that far.
You don't understand up to this point.
Even though it's about yourself, you don't understand.
Is that freedom?
Or is it, as long as your selfish, you don't understand?
It's alright if you don't understand.
Whatever you think is your freedom.
The freedom that you learned in school is, rather, not something you understand. But within yourself, you add to the things you think you don't understand.
Read the situation and don't laugh!
No matter what I say.
Please don't simply pretend to understand.
Well then.
Open your text book.
Ah, Kotou-san, what's the matter?
Ayami-sensei is acting strange.
Strange?
Sorry. But to me, that's normal.
Sensei, stopped smiling.
You admit it?
Are you saying that you admit to everything written on that blog?
That's correct. But everything is fine.
Because I properly dealt with it after the fact.
Dealt with it after the fact?
Yes.
With this, the merit of that blog is no more.
To follow, I believe that finding the criminal and persuading them is meaningless.
Wait, just a moment!
Whether or not it's meaningless is not for you to decide!
This is something for the people in education and guardians to decide.
However. What you mean to say is that between Ayami-sensei and her students, it's meaningless, right?
Correct.
Principal!
If that's the case then isn't that alright?
Because Ayami-sensei is also taking responsibility for her utterance.
Being a teacher is my job. I have no intention of resigning.
Excuse me.
Has she become defiant?
I'm not sure what happened, but she's peeled off one of her layers.
Let's put our expectation in that.
Ayami-sensei, earlier in your home room. You seem to have been having a deeeep dispute, right.
Perhaps, were you eavesdropping in the hallway.
Yep. I thought you were just like Michael Sandel (American philosopher).
I thought you were my stalker.
What?
Did I say that out loud?
What kind of dispute was it?
Um, it was something about. "Is discarding the meaning of freedom, also freedom?" Did that make sense?
Coming from you, it sounds like a very shallow dispute, doesn't it.
It is shallow.
I made it sound not so shallow. In order for the kids to not get confused.
I exemplified that being a teacher isn't simple.
If they think it is simple then it wears one out, right?
Explaining it so that every child would understand, something such as that is just calculating as far as reading and writing.
What's the matter, Mutoi-sensei?
Today you're somewhat, how shall I put this, negligent...
If you have something to be worried about, then please tell me anything.
Well then, could you please not talk to me.
Sensei, was acting somewhat strange today, wasn't she?
That teacher might really be abnormal.
You're right.
Didn't it feel like she was saying things with her eyes.
But she was very cool.
What?
That's how I saw her.
Instead of the Ayami-sensei that always smiles, I thought today she was way cooler.
What's up with you, Miu-chan!
Recently you've been defying Ayano-chan, right.
Saying "defy" sounds weird, right?
I just said what I was thinking.
Isn't that what we call "freedom"?
No way. You're copying Ayami-sensei.
Miu-chan, do you like Ayami-sensei?
I like her.
Even if she's a psychopath?
You don't know that for sure.
"Don't pretend like you know", sensei told us that, right?
If that's the case then we should investigate until we know.
What?
Just as sensei admitted to it, let's check to see if what's on that blog is true or not.
Sounds like fun.
Hey, hey...how?
On that blog, it says that she has no intention of getting married but she's seeing a man, right?
Let's all go visit her house!
Visit her house!
Ah, Kotou-san.
Kotou-san, were you listening too?
Not really...
Wait a second.
Kotou-san, you should come as well, over to sensei's house.
Don't you want to know?
Sensei's true identity.
Kotou-san, who do you like?
Me?
Miu-chan?
Or is it, Ayami-sensei?
Koizumi-san, when did you arrive?
Kotou-san, I will give you something good.
What?
My lie.
Lie?
Kotou-san, if you are able to swallow all my lies, then I won't be able to lie anymore, right?
Then, you'll be able to trust me, right?
Put out your hand.
My blood is strawberry jam!
Now then, eat up.
What?
Come on, hurry. Eat up!
If not, then, I will have you swallow it directly.
Kotou-san, let's kiss.
Evil spirit disperse!
Princess, please run away from this evil spirit!
Shut it, Dream Prince!
Dream Prince...
Evil spirit disperse!
That was complicated and scary.
Sensei, changed?
Yep.
She said she won't force a smile anymore.
Is that so...
Her unconsciousness is getting closer, um.
What?
Nothing...
Now, if you don't eat, you'll be late.
I'm not hungry anymore.
Why?
Grandpa, I saw another weird dream.
Did someone die again?
That's...
It was a really complicated dream.
Complicated?
Mamiya-kun.
Huh?
Okay...
Yuuko.
Miu-chan.
[We're going today! <3 Ayano <3]
This is it.
What do we do, if no one's home?
If that happens then will just watch the place!
What! For how long?
Until a man comes, right?
I wonder when he will come?
Ayami-sensei might come home first.
What shall we do then?
You're so annoying. Stop yapping, I'm gonna press it!
As I thought, she's not here.
Shall we go?
Let's go.
You guys.
What are you doing over there?
I see, you came to see Ayami-sensei.
Um, are you sensei's lover?
I'm just her servant.
Come on in.
Are you sure?
Of course.
Ojamashimasu! (they all say it, it's a greeting used when entering someone's house)
Come on.
Amazing!
There are books everywhere, right!
As I thought, sensei is cool, right!
Right!
And he is too.
Now, let's have a snack.
Yeah!
Awesome!
Wow, it looks so good!
This strawberry jam is, I'm proud to say, is homemade.
Amazing!
I will make some Russian tea.
Thanks for the meal!
My blood is strawberry jam!
Now then, eat up.
What's the matter?
You don't want to eat?
Um, are you and sensei dating?
Well, I wonder...
I think I am but...
What! Even though you're a servant?
There are plenty of men who would prefer to be servants.
The adult world is complicated.
Don't you work? You look like you're really old.
How rude.
I'm doing research at the college.
What! What kind of research?
Dream research.
Dream?
I'm researching the dreams that people see when they are sleep.
Ah, so that's why Ayami-sense knew so much about dreams.
Oh!
I see!
Seems like a dream fortune teller.
You're right.
It's not dream fortune telling.
Dreams still have a lot of unknown hidden power.
For example, what if your dream and others could be seen like a movie...
How about that?
Amazing!
It seems like people's dreams would be boring.
You're really smart.
What?
You have good sense.
Good for you, right.
Surely, just viewing someone else's dreams are boring.
But, what if you appeared in their dreams, how's that?
If that's the case then I would want to see!
I'd want to see it!
Right?
Furthermore, what if it was something that was about to happen in reality?
What are you doing?
Welcome home.
I didn't even notice.
I was having so much fun.
When did you get a Lolita complex?
Don't say that.
They're your students, right.
Sensei, ojamashimasu! (it can also mean sorry to bother you)
Ojamashimasu!
Do you really have any self-awareness that you are bothering me?
You guys...you're really being a nuisance in my important private life!
There's no reason for you to go that far...
Back in the old days, it was normal for students to visit their teacher.
Back in the old days? Does this look like the "old days" to you!?
You're in front of your students.
This is me! I decided not to hide it.
Sensei.
Sensei, do you want to kill us right now?
What?
It said on the blog that you could kill any annoying students.
What should I say to you, in order for you to be satisfied?
You should not quickly request for a person's reply like that.
I'm the way you see me.
You decide for yourself.
Sensei, sorry about that.
Sorry about that.
We were just worried about you.
Because it seemed like you somewhat changed so suddenly.
So, that's why you came to my house?
It's late now, go home for today.
I'll take you home because it's my job.
Okay.
I'll take half home.
Don't make matters worse!
If you were to take them home then they would absolutely call 110 (# for the police).
Is that so?
I look like I have a Lolita complex?
You're just a little bit like a figure (anime character doll or figure).
Is that what happened.
She was studying at your place.
I never knew that at all.
She never told me anything about it.
Well then, I shall take my leave. Goodbye.
Thank you very much. Goodbye.
That teacher seems somewhat different from before.
It's as if she was being sarcastic. Saying that I wouldn't let you go to cram school, or something.
You're embarrassing me again.
Right now, a new home tutor came for Kiyotaka.
You as well should greet them properly. Hurry up and eat.
Sensei, please eat a lot.
Yes, thank you very much.
Welcome home.
Don't worry about her. That's just her personality.
Sensei, I hope the food is to your liking?
Sensei, you're eating too much.
It's good that you made some many friends, right.
It's not really like that...
Then, why did you come together?
I was worried about you.
When you say it, it gives me the shivers, so don't say it.
Um...
Grandpa's assistant, is he the Dream Prince?
How did you know that?
As I thought, do you know the Dream Prince?
What's the Dream Prince?
He's a figure. He happens to look like that man.
Did he appear in your nightmare?
As well as Koizumi-san.
Koizumi, Ayano?
What kind of dream was it?
Koizumi-san threw up strawberry jam from her mouth and then the Dream Prince suddenly appeared in the computer.
That's...at least, not a nightmare, right?
Hello.
Are you all by yourself today?
Yes.
There's something I wanted to ask you.
Me?
What is it?
It's about the dream I had.
Come in.
Okay.
Break up...I'll make them break up.
Hey, what's wrong?
Hey, hey, hey...
Ayami-sensei, nope, Mutoi-sensei.
You did something outrageous.
Such as?
As I thought, you were seeing a guy, weren't you?
I think it's not necessary whether I affirm or deny that.
That's natural.
Even if that man has done something outrageous?
To a girl in your class...
What?
Can you speak yourself?
Yesterday I...
By myself went to Ayami-sensei's house.
Why?
Because that person said that he would tell me my dream fortune.
Here you go.
Now.
Will you tell me about your dream?
If you close your eyes while you're telling it, you can remember your dream properly.
Come on.
And then?
And then, he suddenly kissed me on the mouth.
That's it! That's the one!
Was it really on your mouth?
Did he just miss hitting your cheek instead?
No, even on the cheek is plenty bad!
Mugiyama-sensei, don't get so excited.
"Excited", would you please quit asking her as if it was a misunderstanding!
All I remember is getting extremely angry at that man!
Koizumi, bit her lip until blood came out!
Did you bleed from your mouth?
That's right.
They call it...that!
What was it again?
It might be that she injured herself.
That's it.
This isn't about her lips, but her injured heart.
Koizumi, it's alright!
You're lips are still pure, smooth and beautiful!
Sensei, that's just re-opening her wounds.
What?
I...
Went to sleep.
What!?
Mother!
You don't need it, right?
Give everything to Kiyotaka.
You should just disappear!
Is this perhaps, what you call a prophetic dream?
Nope.
This is a different student's dream.
Why do you think children always see scary dreams?
Isn't it because they're position is weak?
It's a way of training in order for them to live strong.
From ancient times, it was used in order for mankind to defended themselves from foreign invaders.
They would go into a dream for a reality simulation.
However. In modern society, it's hard to understand a foreign enemy.
Therefore, scary dreams also become complicated.
Because a parent who should protect their child, does things that a foreign enemy would.
Senpai (work superior), are you planning on becoming a dream fortune teller?
While other scholars make fun of us, why are we still continuing to do research on dreams!?
I understand that.
I pulled out this dream card, because I wanted to test out that pillow machine's headphones on that child.
Is that so.
You should just hurry up with the development of a new Tapirus.
Yes.
Our dreams rest in the clutches of that teacher.
Due to Koizumi, Ayano-san's mother. Tomorrow afternoon, we will specially open up a guardians' meeting.
At that meeting. We have to explain whether or not, what had happened was true or not.
Kaibara-sensei, as the one in charge of the school grades(as in 1st yr, 2nd yr ect.).
Did you hear anything from any of the other students?
Yes. The other day when Koizumi-san and the others went together to Mutoi-sensei's house. I listened to several of the girls stories.
At that time, it seems that Mutoi-sensei said that man had a "Lolita complex".
A Lolita complex.
No, no...did you know that he had a Lolita complex!?
I didn't call him that, I made a joke about it.
Saying, " When did you get a Lolita complex?".
It seems like he collects figures too.
That's incorrect! He looks like a figure himself.
He does?
This meeting has gotten weird.
Well then, Mutoi-sensei.
What's that man saying?
Did he admit it?
I don't know yet. I haven't met him today yet.
Why not just call him?
I don't know his number.
What!?
Because I had no reason to contact him.
Isn't he your lover?
He is not my lover!
What!?
Doesn't he have a key to your room?
That's because he's good at cleaning and cooking.
And if that man doesn't want a relationship with Ayami-sensei, then what I'm saying is that man is abnormal.
That comment is abnormal.
That man must have another objective!
Well, at any rate.
To Mutoi-sensei, tomorrow will be a critical moment.
Principal, why are you saying something so carefree!
Of course, the school and the teachers are in the same boat.
If it is the truth, then we will have society knocking on our doors.
Even the Dream Prince has turned into a Nightmare Prince!
Whoever's on duty.
Sensei.
What is it, class representative?
We don't understand you.
And because we don't understand, we have made the decision that we are scared.
And?
We will boycott your class.
As long as you are our home room teacher, we thought we would do self study in the library.
Is that our freedom?
Or is it being selfish?
Do as you like.
What about you guys?
I don't think that you are scary.
I too, I think of us as on the same team.
You won't have any friends.
It's better than having yourself disappear, sensei.
I understand.
Well then, we shall have self-study.
We are greatly sorry to have made you uneasy and for having you come all this way.
In relation to the latest incident...
Excuse me.
Yes.
We didn't gather for an apology.
Please explain to us the truth.
Depending on what you say...I will have to take this to the police.
No, Koizumi-san, no need to be impatient.
What will you do if that man runs away!?
Another victim will appear!
He's got a Lolita complex!
Sensei, what happened?
Dating a man like that, did you not feel anything?
Or is it like I thought, just as the topic of the internet says, do you not have a heart?
She's a psychopath.
Um, excuse me. Um, Mutoi-sensei isn't really. It seems that she's not that man's lover or anything.
What's the meaning of that?
Are you saying that this has nothing to do with her?
Your student has...my daughter was hurt!
I don't think that she really was kissed.
I believe that the truth is that Koizumi, Ayano-san hates me.
Are you saying that my daughter lied?
It's true that she hates me, right.
I believe that she's just declaring her own intentions by saying that she was kissed.
Mutoi-sensei.
I can't believe this.
Instead of believing in your own student, your believing in your man, right!
I'm just explaining the truth.
Gimme a break!
I never expected to receive such humiliation.
If your saying that nothing happened, then show me some proof!
That's right!
Is that the figure?
I'm sorry that I'm late.
I am an associate professor at the college. My name is Shiki, Takashi.
Normally, I only study neurobiology. But as an educator, I often visit her room and ask Mutoi-sensei for support.
Mutoi-sensei is a stubborn person.
As a man, by no means, was I able to achieve those feelings.
There is no way that a man like myself, would stand in Ayami-sensei's way.
If you want proof...
Then here it is.
When your daughter came to me for advice about her troubles, I was unable to refuse.
That's why...
In order for a problem to not arise afterwards. With this computer's camera, I would be able to supply a video.
She became sleepy part way through, so I let her rest on the bed. But, I have a video of her in that state as well.
I do not have a Lolita complex.
I respect Mutoi-sensei from the bottom of my heart.
As one man.
Was I able to get you to understand?
That clip like that, you could get as many as you like and it could just be hoax!
Madam, would you like to know what kind of worries Ayano-san talked about?
I can put the sound on here.
But if possible, I would just like only you...to carefully listen to it.
I always see the same dream.
Are you afraid of your mother?
I'm afraid.
I'm really afraid that my mother will hate me.
Why do you think she hates you?
Because I'm an idiot.
I'm not very smart.
My little brother is very smart.
He got into a famous private elementary school, whereas I failed to get in.
On top of that, my face...
My face looks like my father, who always had affairs.
That's why from long ago, my mother hates me.
In that house I...I shouldn't stay there.
It's all lies.
Are you saying that she's lying?
It's as if he used dreams for counseling.
I also felt as if she was telling the truth.
Your daughter was taking out her frustration on you, and using Mutoi-sensei as an scapegoat.
She did it in order to protect herself from a foreign enemy called "anxiety".
Your daughter's lie, is like a poison eating away at your daughter's heart.
That's why she couldn't spit it out.
Stand.
Bow.
Good morning.
Is Koizumi-san not here?
She couldn't come because she's so embarrassed, right?
Telling a lie like that...
Sensei, sorry about yesterday.
Sorry!
Have you seen another one?
What?
Thanks for the meal!
It's alright, it's just a dream.
This is Koizumi, Ayano's revenge?
Are you saying that she becomes bullied in the class room and puts something in the school lunch?
If we leave it be, then that is what will happen.
When Koizumi-san threw up what was in her mouth she said, "swallow my lies".
Lies?
It's the nightmare that Yuiko had before this one.
It's a dream where an odd Shiki-kun called himself "Dream Prince".
Would you like to see that too?
I don't want to see it.
What's this girl doing right now?
She hasn't come to school.
If so, then she will come to school again.
And she'll certainly...
Your daughter's lie, is like a poison eating away at your daughter's heart.
That's why she couldn't spit it out.
Poison...
There's a lot of foreign substances at school.
Sensei...when I recently looked up the menu for this week.
It said that tomorrow was beef stew.
You can't let that girl come to school.
How long do you plan to stay like this and not go to school!
Nothing will change, right!
It's a lie you told, so even if your embarrassed, go to school!
Hey, did you know? Ah.
You're the worst.
Let's go.
You liar!
Why did she come to school?
Everyone sang while stamping their feet.
Kick, kick, tap, tap.
Shimiyuki(frozen snow), Shinko. Katayuki(hard snow), Kanko.
Beside a field, they go puff-puff-puff.
The drunk swaying Seisaku, last year drank 13 cups.
[Shameless!]
Kick, kick, kick, kick, tap, tap, tap, tap.
The photo disappeared. And they took a little break.
A lovely fox girl...
[Liar!]
Set down sweet dumplings(kibi dango). And brought over two plates.
Asking "why?" just now. Because Taemon and Lord Seisaku don't see them as detestable and ate them.
[Change Schools!]
Besides, all the fox students are looking this way.
Asking "did they eat it?", hey, "did they eat it?".
[Idiot + more mean words]
Secretly talking among themselves.
Kanko became so embarrassed that, while still holding the plates, her face turned all red.
Thereupon, Shirou proclaimed his determination.
"Hey, let's eat! Eat!". I don't think that Konzaburou-san would trick us!
I should give it to her?
That's right. When push comes to shove, think of it as a good luck charm.
No, as an antidote.
Dear Ayano,
I, your mother can't stop worrying about you.
Why? It's because you are just like your mother.
Even though you're very obstinate and a show-off. You have trouble dealing with things and you have bad grades.
You're the spitting image of my former self.
That's why, I'm unintentionally hard on you.
But, please believe in this.
I will always be on your side.
Even if you're hated by the whole world.
I alone, will be your ally.
I will definitely protect you.
That's why, be brave.
And do your best at school.
And then, filled with energy, without fail, please come back home to me.
Signed your mother.
In the midday, can-can goes the sun's light.
In the evening, zun-zun goes the moonlight.
For example. Even if the body falls to pieces, the fox students didn't begrudge.
Kick, kick, tap, tap.
Whatever the ministry of education says.
I believe that in Miyazawa, Kenji's "Crossing the Snow", the characters Kanko and Shirou...
When they went to the fox's school, they didn't think that the foxes homemade sweet dumplings(kibi dango) were detestable and ate them...
Not because they believed in foxes Konzaburou. But because at that place, they were able to read the situation.
As a result, the fox students became deeply moved. And from now on they swear they wouldn't become an adult that lies to people or begrudges people.
But I...I can't believe in that.
Therefore, I too, in order to read the situation...don't think that I should make you believe me or respect me.
School is a place where each person is surrounded by others and live.
Being able to read a situation is also, an important ability that humans possess.
To have the capacity to survive in this world, is an important thing.
However, even if you say you are able to read a situation. I believe that they shouldn't have eaten the foxes homemade sweet dumplings(kibi dango).
There was a fairly high probability that they would get a stomach ache.
Even so...if it was you, would you eat it?
And yet, if you think about it to that extent.
If you say that you would eat it, then that is your freedom.
Today's lunch looks so good.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Hurry up.
Thanks for the meal!
It's good!
Yeah!
Tasty!
Here you go.
Beef stew again!
My beef stew is exceptional.
Because the secret flavor inside is my strawberry jam that I'm so proud of.
Is this also a prophetic dream!?
I know. As soon as I eat, I will leave.
You don't have to go.
What?
It's okay to stay over tonight.
I permit it.
You're being honest today.
I'm always honest!
Don't think that I'm always holding back.
I get it.
Alright.
Well then, today I'm the Dream Prince.
Don't ever say that name!
He's now a Nightmare Prince.
Dream?
Dream!
Morning.
What's the matter?
The blog was updated again.
What does it say?
Even though she's a psychopath, don't act so high and mighty and lecture us in class!
You're the one who can't read the situation!
Read the situation, hurry up and die!
How cruel...
Do you really have no idea who wrote it?
Even with my perception, I have absolutely no idea.
I know who it is.
What?
The criminal is seen here.
Show me.
No way!
Preview: It's not a dream!
I can hid (something couldn't hear it well).
I told you that Shiki-kun is dangerous.
Don't say such selfish things!
If I didn't meet you guys then I wouldn't have met him!
If there's a hole, don't ever fall in it.
I'm afraid!
Dream Beast, take me there!
It's a magnificent prophetic dream.
You were overtaken by your other self.
A multiple personality?
It's our freedom to love whoever we want!
Do you want me to make a medicine for that?
What?
Are you alright, princess?
Evil spirits, be gone!
