02x05 - Bungo Stray Dogs Preschool 2

[bunniefuu]

Someone drew a goatee on my big, fluffy,
made-to-order Odasaku Man plush!

Who would do such a thing?

I was going to nap with him.

You're not supposed to be napping.

Bungo Stray Dogs Preschool!

So it was you, Chuuya!

How could you!

I thought something might happen,
so fortunately I got a bunch.

You have more?

You're not allowed to
bring toys to school.

Chuuya-kun's in trouble.

Are you gonna lecture me?

You don't scare me.

You'll be visited by a ghost.

A ghost?

It's working!

Ghosts aren't real.

People just think they see them
when they're half-asleep.

Are you sure about that?

I heard a story once.

A man felt something was off,
so he turned around...

and saw a flying hamburger
dripping with ketchup.

- Hey, quit it!

- What about fries?
Were there fries, Dazai-sensei?

Of course it came with fries.

Bungo Stray Dogs Preschool!

Dazai-sensei's story was so scary.

Maybe ghosts are real after all.

The other day, I didn't eat my carrots.

The wasteful ghost might come for me.

I might be visited by the
validation-seeking ghost

because Dazai-sensei
won't approve of me.

I don't think that's the same thing.

Bungo Stray Dogs Preschool.

Kyouka-chan, I doubt you'll be visited
by any ghosts, since you're a good girl.

That's not true.

I'm not going to sleep.
I'll stay up all...

No matter how hard I try,
I fall asleep at night.

And I wake up early in the
morning because I get hungry.

She's good and healthy.

I know how I can defeat the ghost.

First, I'll sweep its legs.

What legs?

Then I'll hit it with a right hook.

Won't the ghost stay away if you
stop being mean to Dazai-sensei?

There's no way I'm doing that.

He's stubborn!

Hey, don't you wanna use the bathroom?

I'm okay. I think I can hold it.

What? Y-You can't go to the bathroom
alone because you're scared of ghosts?

Fine, then I'll go with you.
Since you insist.

You're the one who wants to go!

Whatever! Just come with me!

N-No way! I'm scared!

And sometimes the feeling
goes away if you wait.

Okay.

I heard holding it in
can make you ill.

That's scary in an
entirely different way!

I wish you hadn't told us!

Actually, let's go!
I bet we won't see any ghosts!

Are you calling Dazai-sensei a liar?

He lies all the time.

Here, take this.

Huh?

You can repel ghosts with salt,

but we didn't have any,
so have some sugar.

Th-Thanks.

Take these.

Kunikida-kun.

They're handmade talismans.

Uh, thanks.

I've got a cross and garlic, too.

Those are for vampires!

Bungo Stray Dogs Preschool.

Don't you think you scared
the kids too much?

- It's good for those
mischievous little kids.

- Huh? Is that the teachers talking?

I don't know if ghosts are real or not,

but I can nap all I want
when the kids behave.

It gives me more time to
slack off—I mean, take breaks.

What are you all doing here?

Did you hear that?

Lying makes ghosts show up!

So does slacking off!

Take this!

Dazai-sensei never lies.

Let us look for ghosts together.

This wasn't supposed to happen!

You've got even more work to do now.

Kids, I have good news for you.

What could it be?

Will we get juice at lunch?

That would be nice, but maybe
we're getting cake at snack time.

It could be ice cream.

What could it be? I'm excited.

Yeah.

I'll show you.

Tada! It's Ango-sensei,
who's here for practical training!

I-It's nice to meet all of you.

They're obviously disappointed.

Dazai-sensei,
what is practical training?

Right, I hadn't explained that yet.

He's here to learn how to be a teacher.

Dazai-sensei is going to
teach me lots of things.

Next, we'll go over here.

Yes, sir.

I see. If I earn Dazai-sensei's trust,
I could get him to evaluate me.

I shall become a teacher
so I can also do practical training.

- Bungo Stray Dogs

- Preschool

- B-Bungo Stray Dogs Preschool...

So you're not a real teacher, huh?

Well, um... I guess that's true.

You'd better study hard here.

Okay...

I can already read a bit of kanji.

That's impressive.

I can control gravity, too.

That's rather impressive!

Bungo Stray Dogs Preschool! Woo-hoo!

Listen up, Ango-sensei.

It's important to scold the
children when they're naughty.

I understand.

What's wrong?

He tripped because Dazai-sensei
left his personal item left out.

You should clean up after yourself!

Sorry.

Bungo Stray Dogs Preschool.

I found shoes and socks without
names written on them in the yard!

Whose are these?

- And who's running around barefoot?

- Wait, Chuuya-kun!

- Nobody's listening.

I have no choice.

- Reads memories
left on objects

- Special Ability: Discourse on Decadence!

- Here, Kenji-kun.

This is your calling!

I'm glad this is the world I live in.

- You're amazing, Sensei!

- Wow!

- Yes, yes.

Good work.

I can't even muster a
single smile anymore.

Maybe I'm not good with children.

Just be yourself.

Hang loose, like this rope.

Nobody wants to be like that.

Be myself, huh?

All day, it takes everything
I have to simply be present.

I can't handle children by being myself.

Ango-sensei!

Y-Yes? What is it?

Let's play hide-and-seek.

You're it.

Very well.

Ready?

Not yet!

Ready?

Ready!

Tanizaki-kun, I found you!

Special ability: Light Snow.

Sorry, but that was an illusion.

What's the point if you
come out of hiding?

I see Nakahara-kun in the tree!

I see Kyouka-chan under
the playground equipment!

I'm relieved you hid normally.

I-I see Akutagawa-kun in the corner.

You did well to see through my disguise.

How could I not?
You're a huge black ball!

That just leaves Atsushi-kun.

There you are!

I'm just an ordinary cat.

I'm not Atsushi-kun the cool tiger.

Meow, meow.

You'd abandon your pride
to pretend to be a cat?!

I-I found everyone. That was tough.

I spent all my effort finding the
children and forgot to praise them.

I'm really not meant to
be a preschool teacher.

You're amazing, Ango-sensei.

What?

You found everyone in no time at all.

Did you use your special ability?

What? My special ability?

No, I didn't.

Well? You don't have to decide
if this job is right for you.

Dazai-sensei.

You're right. I feel motivated
to try again tomorrow.

I'm glad.

Dazai never wants to play with us.

We're always busy calling
out his behavior.

What our preschool needed was
someone like Ango-sensei.

An adult who doesn't make dumb jokes.

Wow, they're growing up so smart.

Bungo Stray Dogs Preschool.

I saw something.

Last night, there was a big black
shadow walking outside the school.

It was scary and strong-looking!

Calm down, Atsushi.

I'll tell you what that was.

That was just your skull
meat playing tricks on you!

Please just call it a brain!

Bungo Stray Dogs Preschool!

I overheard the children discussing that.

It would be one thing if it was his
imagination, but it sounded oddly real.

He described a strong-looking
silhouette larger than an adult.

I'm a bit worried.

It must've been Odasaku Man!

Were you listening to me?

I'm talking about real life!

That's even more delightful!

According to Atsushi-kun,
the thing had spines.

It could be dangerous if
it's an unknown ability.

Spines? C-Could it be?

Does that ring any bells?

Maybe it was Odasaku Man Hyper!

What are you talking about?

- Everybody loves Odasaku Man!

Um, Dazai-sensei...

- Coloring Book

- Are you going to color that in?

- I really don't think you should do that.

- But I'd do the best job.

- Stop trying to compete with children!
