As Winston Churchill said,
ウィンストン·チャーチルいわく
"Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us.
「猫は人を見下し 犬は人を尊敬する」
Pig Pen
"Pigs treat us as equals."
「しかし 豚は自分と同等のものとして人の目を見詰める」
Pigs are sometimes used
豚は不潔でバカだなど
to stand for something unclean and stupid, something to be reviled,
さげすみの代名詞として引用されることがあるが
but that is a mistake.
それは間違いだ
They roll in the mud to protect themselves from parasites,
泥で体を汚すのは寄生虫予防
and to lower their body temperatures on a hot day.
あるいは暑い日に体温を下げるため
They also possess a keen sense of smell.
また 鋭い嗅覚を持ち
It aids their memory,
においに基づいた記憶力は動物界でもトップクラスである
which is among the best in the animal kingdom.
Again, I can't judge things based on assumptions.
やっぱ先入観で判断しちゃ駄目だな
Also, they have very strong jaws
また かむ力が強く
and can easily bite through human fingers.
人間の指など 簡単にかみちぎる
This is the nursery.
こっちは育成スペース
Sows and their piglets are kept here.
母豚と子豚を飼育している
What's this doghouse-like thing?
何だ？ この犬小屋みたいなの
カワイイ
Aww! So cute!
Hmph, pigs fatten up in no time.
豚なんざあっという間にぶくぶくになるっつーの
Here.
はい
C-Compared to chicks, p-piglets have got nothing...
ひ…ひよこに比べりゃ
ぶ…豚の子なんざ…
本格的な夏の日差しが
肌を焦がしていく様に
私もあなたに恋焦がれる
海へドライブ 運転するよ
横顔撫でる 潮風が気持ちいいsummer day
la la la summer day
ビーチパラソルカラフルだ yeah
砂浜に咲く 花みたい
KISS YOU あなたの心
もっともっと近くにいたい 感じたい
私だけ見て
KISS YOU ぐっと膨らんだ
胸の思い 唇にのせて 伝えたいと
だから KISS YOU
だから さあ KISS YOU
Episode 3 Hachiken Meets Pork Bowl
ちょうど授乳が始まるぞ
The sow's about to nurse.
You Dairy Science first-years will tend to this family after Golden Week.
お前たち 酪農科１年には
ゴールデンウイーク明けからこの親子の世話をしてもらう
The mother isn't allowed near the piglets?
お母さん 子豚に近寄れないんですね
母豚がうっかり踏んづけて殺してしまうからな
Correct, the sow can accidentally step on them and kill them.
I see.
そっか
It's interesting to see eight of them in a row.
８頭も並ぶと面白いな
Hams in a row.
ハムが並んどる
The one all the way to the right's really tiny.
この右下の ずいぶん小さいね
Oh, yeah.
あっ ホントだ
More
A lot more milk comes out of teats closer to the chest
豚の乳は胸側がたくさん出て 尻側の方が出が少ない
Less
than those toward the rump.
Soon after birth, piglets compete for access to milk
子豚たちは生後すぐに母乳をめぐる生存競争で
and select a teat as their own.
自分専用の乳首を決める
The stronger ones get the chest-side ones,
強い者が胸側を 弱い者が尻側に押しやられる
and the weaker ones get pushed toward the rump.
この小さい子豚は競争に負けてこうなったのだ
This small piglet is here because it lost the competition.
Um... Aren't we going to do anything to help this one?
あの…こいつ何とかしてあげないんすか
If its growth is compromised, we sometimes feed it extra milk.
成長に支障を来したら代理乳を与えたりするが
But normally we let nature take its course.
基本は自然に任せる
Hey, you!
おい お前 いい所が空いたぞ
A good spot's opened up!
What?
あれ？ 他に移れよ
C'mon, switch to another one!
Try moving it to another teat.
他の乳首に移動させてみろ
Come on, more comes out of this one.
ほ～ら ここの方がたっぷり出るぞ
あれ？
This is piglet behavior.
これが子豚の性質だ
一度ここと決めると 劣った環境に居続けてしまう
Once they make a decision,
they stay, even if it's a poor environment.
Just because they lost out in the first competition,
最初の競争からはじき出されただけで
ここでいいと決めてしまう
they decide what they have is good enough.
Don't get this way, guys.
お前たちはこうなるなよ
Ooezo Agricultural High School Dormitory for Future Agriculture Managers
I'm back...
ただいま
Oh, right, you're both going home.
そっか ２人とも実家帰るんだっけ
Yup, gonna tend the farm non-stop over Golden Week.
おう ゴールデンウイーク中はひたすら畑だな
You're not going anywhere to enjoy yourself?
遊びに行かないのか
There's no time for that.
そんな余裕ないべさ
Entire family's going out on the fields!
家族総出で農作業
My family's got 56 hectares to take care of.
うちなんて畑５６ｈａだぜ
Golden Week's not enough time to finish it all.
ゴールデンウイーク中に終わらんべ
規模がいまいち分からん
I don't think I grasp the scale.
Well, about the size of one Macross.
まあ マクロス１機分くらいだ じゃ
See ya.
じゃーな
I think I'm even more confused now.
ますますもって分からんわ
There is a lot less people, all of a sudden.
急に人減ったな
Everyone who has farm work to do at home went back.
家の農作業ある子はみんな帰っちゃったからね
The only ones who stayed are those on club duty.
残ってるのは部活残留組かな
Starving!
腹 減った
何か食うべ
Let's eat something!
みんな休みの日に遊ばないのか
Doesn't anyone have fun on vacation?
Do you, Hachiken-kun?
そういう八軒君は？
Hey, Hachiken-kun.
ねえ 八軒君
Do you have time tomorrow after stable chores in the morning?
あした朝の馬の世話終わってから暇？
うん？
Want to go have fun?
一緒に遊びに行かない？
Huh, where?
えっ？ どこに？
Um, a place with a mascot,
えっとね
マスコットキャラがいて
and gift shops.
お土産屋さんで買い物したり
It's a place full of dreams!
夢いっぱいの所
Welcome to Welcome Land
An amusement park?
遊園地？
A mascot...
マスコット…
Gift shops...
お土産屋さん…
Full of dreams...
夢いっぱい…
I heard he won big.
万馬券当てたってよ
I will, too!
ぜってえ当ててやる
Tokachi Agricultural Cooperative Obihiro Racetrack
It's a racetrack!
競馬場じゃん
Yeah!
うん 今日 うちの馬が出走するの
My horse is racing today!
Well...
まあ しかし 場所はどこであれ
Still, whatever the place,
it's a date with Mikage...
御影とのデート
Oh, there he is.
あっ いたいた いっちゃーん
Icchan!
Yo.
おう
Why's Komaba here?
何で駒場がここにいんだよ
Our club's senpais are all at an away game.
今日 先輩方遠征でいないんだわ
Us first-years only had practice in the morning.
１年は午前中で練習終わり
The more, the merrier, right?
みんなで遊んだ方が楽しいでしょ
Yeah, you're right.
うん…そうだね
Isn't that Nakajima-sensei?
中島先生じゃね？
Oh, yeah.
ホントだ
Nakajima-sensei!
中島先生
Crap, he's got the eyes of a gambler.
ヤバい 勝負師の目だ
You came here, too?
君たちも来ていたのですか
Yes.
はい 今日は私の家から出した馬が出走するので
One of my family's horses is running today.
Minors aren't allowed to gamble.
未成年は馬券を買ってはいけませんよ
We know.
分かってますよ
We're just here to watch!
見るだけ見るだけ
Sensei, since you're here, please be a good equestrian club instructor
先生 せっかくだから馬術部顧問らしく
and tell us about Ban'ei racing.
ばんえい競馬のこと教えてください
Right.
うむ
First, Number 3:
まず３番の馬ですが
it's only run once, so it's still got energy and also works pretty well with his rider.
一開催一走を守っているので体力も万全
騎手との相性もまずまず…
It's no use. Let's go.
駄目だ こりゃ 行くべ
Ban'ei racing is a relic from the frontier times.
ばんえい競馬って 開拓時代の名残なんだよね
It all started when farms began competing their draft horses
自分とこの農耕馬が一番強いって
to show whose was the strongest.
農家が馬の力比べをしたのが始まりなの
The race happens pretty much at a person's walking speed,
人間の歩く速さでレースが展開するから
so you feel at one with the horses!
馬との一体感がすごいんだよ
Hey, it's starting.
あっ 始まるよ
The fourth maiden race of the spring season is about to begin!
春の新馬戦 第４レースのスタートです
Now, the staff are splitting into left and right!
さあ 係員が左右に分かれます
It's started!
始まった
注目のスタートです
It's quiet.
静かだな
何が行くんでしょうか
内の方からニシキパワーが…
Slow...
遅っ
間もなく最初の障害
ニシキパワーを先頭に
今 外 トモエダイジンが追います
全馬最初の障害を上ります
Here they come!
来るぞ
What is this?
何だ これ
How heavy are those sleds?
そりって あれ 何ｋｇあるんだよ
It's a maiden race, so 480 kilos!
新馬戦だから４８０ｋｇ
The biggest graded races have them pulling one ton.
一番大きな重賞戦になると１ｔは引っ張るよ
A ton?!
トンって
Which one's yours?
お前んとこの馬ってどれよ
Number 5, Mikagehomare!
５番 ミカゲホマレ
Oh, hey, maybe it can win!
いけるんじゃねぇ？
It's leading into the second obstacle!
トップで第２障害に入ったぞ
The tough part has yet to come!
まだまだこれから
外からトモエダイジンであります
It stopped! Hey!
止まっちゃったよ おい
Why isn't it pushing on?
何で行かないんだよ
It's a strategy.
駆け引きしてんだよ
The second obstacle is bigger than the first, so the horse needs
第２障害は第１よりでかくてな
力とタイミング 騎手との息が合わないと越えられねえんだ
to match its power and timing with its rider to overcome it.
They gauge each other's intent.
お互いの出方を見つつ 力をためてから
The horse gathers its strength, then...
climbs up in one go!
一気に上る
Oh, it's fallen!
くじけた
Not yet!
まだだ まだミカゲホマレの目は死んでねえ
You can still see the fighting spirit in Mikagehomare's eyes!
Don't act so cool, jock!
何カッコイイせりふ言ってんの 体育会系
Go, Mikagehomare!
行けー ミカゲホマレ
I've bet everything on you!
お前に全部突っ込んでんだー
うーわ カッコ悪い 汚い大人
Ew, that's so lame!
Don't be so nasty!
はいっ！
There it goes!
行ったー！
やった １位！
Yeah! Number one!
えっ…何！？
What?
The whole sled has to cross the finish line!
そりまで全部入ってゴールなの
What?!
えっ！？
Man, that was so close.
あ～ 惜しかったなぁ
Third, huh?
３位か １位かと思ったのに
I so thought it'd come in first.
Coming in third's good enough for me!
私は３着でも十分だよ
お金賭けてる人にとってはどうか分かんないけど
Although, I don't know if the same goes for people who've bet money...
But it could've placed first if it'd put in a bit more effort!
でも もうちょっと頑張れば１位取れたのに
What, you're awfully hung up over winning.
何だ？ ずいぶん１位にこだわるな
Er, but, it would've been awesome
いや でも普通の競馬みたいに
if it could've won by its nose, like in a normal race.
鼻でゴールだったらよかったのにな
The race started with draft horses,
もとは農耕馬だから
so it needs to finish carrying its load to finish the job.
荷物を運びきるまでがお仕事なのよ
But, I'm so glad.
でも ホントよかった
It can live on for a while yet, now.
これでしばらくは生き延びられるもん
Horses with poor results get retired, with no mercy.
成績悪いと容赦なく引退だからな
Retired...
引退…
It's a happy ending if the horse can become a carriage horse for events,
イベントなんかの馬車引きに就職できれば御の字だけど
but most of them become horse meat.
まっ ほとんど食肉行きだ
What?!
えー！？ あんなに頑張ってんのに負けたら食べられんの！？
Even though they're trying so hard,
if they lose, they get eaten?!
It's the same story outside of horse racing.
競馬に限らず家畜の世界は努力なんて意味ないの
For livestock, effort means nothing.
It's all about results.
成績が全てだから
So effort isn't rewarded...
努力が報われないってのは…
I don't know if I like that...
何か やだな
うん？
Like's got nothing to do with it.
やだもくそもあるか
The smoked chicken from Inada-senpai you ate the other day
お前がこの前食った稲田先輩のスモークチキンだって
was a chicken that was offed because it didn't lay enough eggs.
産卵成績悪いから淘汰された鶏だぞ
It's already gone into your stomach.
お前ももう腹に収めちまってんだ
Stop quibbling over the details.
ぐだぐだ言うな
You know, Hachiken...
八軒 お前さ
You seem obsessed about winning and results,
１位って結果にこだわったかと思ったら
then you say stuff like rewarding effort.
努力を認めろって言ったり
You joined an agricultural high school without a clear goal, too.
特に目的なく農業高校入ったりよ
Did something happen?
何かあったんか
Hachiken, what're you going to do for high school?
八軒 お前 高校どうすんだ？
You're not continuing to our high school.
内部進学しないって それでいいのか
Are you sure?
I want to go to a high school far away.
どっか遠い所にある高校に行きたいです
Well, I can look for one if you want to go to a different school.
まあ よそに行くっていうなら学校探すけどさ
There are high schools you can choose that'll help you
お前が将来なりたいものによって選ぶ高校も…
reach your future goals...
I don't have any.
ないですから
うん？
I don't have any goals for the future.
ないですから 将来の夢とか
So long as I can get out of my home and go far away, I don't care.
家から出られて遠い所ならどこでもいいです
What did your parents say?
ご両親は何て？
They said nothing.
何も言われませんでした
Okay.
分かった
I happen to have a place I recommend to students like yourself.
ちょうどお前みたいなやつに紹介したい高校がある
Hokkaido Prefectural Ooezo Agricultural High School
Want to give it a try?
行ってみるか
Oh.
So you basically came here because you lost.
要するに 負けてこっち来たんか
That's stupid.
くだらねえ
What do you mean, "stupid"?!
「くだらねえ」って何だよ
What would you know about how tough it is trying so hard for nothing?!
努力が報われないしんどさがお前に分かるかよ
You were born a farmer,
農家に生まれたってだけでろくに勉強もせずに高校入れて
so you got into high school without studying at all!
As long as you graduate, you have a career waiting for you back home.
卒業すれば実家って就職先が用意されてるし
I envy you, being so carefree!
気楽でうらやましいよ
Icchan!
いっちゃん 八軒君 やめなよ
Hachiken-kun!
Stop!
Hey, do you guys want to go somewhere fun?
ねえ ２人とも 面白いとこ行かない？
Where?
どこだよ
The stables at the Ban'ei Racetrack!
ばんえい競馬場の厩舎
Uncle, it's been a while!
おじさん 久しぶり
Hey, Aki!
おう アキ やっぱ来てたか
I knew you'd come!
Mikagehomare was in the race, so I thought you might!
ミカゲホマレ走るから もしかしてと思ったんだ
メールくれてホント助かった
Thanks for the text! You were a godsend!
Are those your friends with you?
友達も一緒か
They're my classmates, Hachiken-kun, and Icchan from the Komabas.
同じクラスの八軒君と駒場さんとこのいっちゃん
Oh, Ichirou from the Komabas!
おー 駒場んとこの一郎か
You've grown so tall!
でかくなったなー
I think I last saw you at your pop's funeral.
おやっさんの葬式以来かな
How's your mom?
おっかさん元気か
Managing, thank you for asking.
おかげさまで何とかやってます
Are you gonna continue the family business once you graduate Ezonoo?
エゾノー出たらすぐ家継ぐんか
That's my plan.
そのつもりです
What a waste!
もったいねえ 大学行けばいいっしょ
You should go to college!
We don't have that kind of money.
うちそんな金ないですよ
Oh! Mikagehomare!
ミカゲホマレ
You worked hard today!
今日は頑張ったねー
Whoa, you're still all sweaty!
まだ汗引いてない
Guess this one still remembers you?
こいつ まだアキのこと覚えてるべか
I said my goodbyes when it was still a foal.
子馬のころお別れしてるからなぁ
Here's a pic from around the time it was born.
ほら これ生まれたころのこの子の写真
Oh, cute!
おー カワイイ！
Mikage is, at least.
御影が
So this... turns into this.
これが…
こうなっちゃうのか
Whoa!
Sorry!
ごめんなさい
Did it read my thoughts again?!
また考え読まれた？
Nah, this is different.
いやいや 違うよ
It's telling you to brush it.
これはブラシかけろって言ってんだ
Here?
ここか？ ここがいいんだろ？
You want to be brushed here, right?
There, there.
よーし よしよし
Wow.
すげえ 馬の気持ちが完璧に分かるんすね
It feels good, yeah?
気持ちいいですね
You totally understand horses, don't you?
You're amazing.
さすがだぜ
Of course you can never totally understand horses!
馬の気持ちなんて完璧に分かるわけないっしょ
How nice that you students can still dream.
学生さんは夢があっていいね
Since you came out here,
せっかく来たんだ 勉強に他の所も見てくか
do you want to learn more by checking out other places?
Like the horse clinic?
馬の診療所とか
Yeah!
見たい
Wow, it's like a smithy!
わぁ 鍛冶屋さんみたい
Welcome.
いらっしゃい
Hey, Doc!
おう 先生 お邪魔しますよ
Thanks for having us.
What, a patient?
何？ 治療？
Nah, just a tour.
いや 見学
エゾノーの学生さんだよ
They're Ezonoo students.
It's amazing.
すごいっすね
How do you use this one?
これ どうやって使うんすか
This is a speculum.
これは開口器
It forces the mouth open.
無理やり口を開けるやつ
This one's a nose twitch.
これは鼻捻棒
It forces a horse to calm down.
馬を無理やりおとなしくさせるやつ
Clinic
There are also castration tools...
後は去勢道具とか
Torture Chamber
These are for dental work.
こっちのは歯の治療道具
Their health goes south just from having a slightly misaligned bite.
かみ合わせがちょっと狂っただけで体調崩すからね 馬は
Maintaining their dental health is dull but important work.
歯のメンテナンスは地味に大切なんだよ
Oh, I heard horses are really sensitive,
馬はかなり繊細って聞きました
that they're delicate creatures.
デリケートな動物だって
Yup, they are.
そうそう 腹痛なんてしょっちゅうだし
They get stomachaches all the time,
and they can die at the drop of a hat,
ちょっとしたことで命を落とすから
so they're often compared to cows.
よく牛と比較されるけどねぇ
We say cows can live, even if their brains are all rotten.
「牛は脳みそ腐っても生きてるのに」なんて
Yeah, cows are awesome!
おう すげえな 牛 生命力あるぜ
They're full of life!
You're way too positive.
バカ ポジティブ野郎め
Oh, we should've brought Aikawa, too.
相川も連れてくればよかったな
Oh, right!
そうだね 獣医志望だもんね
He wants to be a vet.
Oh, one of you wants to become a vet?
おっ 獣医を目指してる子いるの？
That makes me happy!
うれしいね
Even if you have a dream,
夢持ってて かなえる方法分かっててもさ
and know what you need to make your dream come true,
that's not enough.
それだけじゃ駄目なんだ
Doctor, what do you need to become a vet?
先生 獣医になるために必要なものって何ですか
うん？
Well, school smarts and tuition money, of course,
まあ 学力 学費はもちろんだし
not to mention endurance.
体力もいるね
As for the rest, this is my personal opinion,
後は私の持論だけど
but you need to be able to kill.
殺せるかどうか
Large animal veterinarians, in particular, deal with farm animals,
特に経済動物相手にしている家畜獣医なんて
so they're often asked to choose between life and death.
しょっちゅう命の選択迫られるしね
There are plenty who enter an agricultural university wanting to be a vet,
獣医になる夢持って農大に入って
but realize they can't stomach it after all when faced with that choice.
その選択を迫られたとき
やっぱ駄目だってなる人はいるよ
でも 一方で
But on the other hand,
there are many lives that have been saved
殺せない 殺させたくないって
because of kind vets who don't want
優しい人たちが頑張ってるから
to kill, and don't want to let them be killed.
助かってる命もたくさんある
In all things, I think having a dream requires having
どんなことでもね
夢を持つということは同時に
the resolve to struggle with reality.
現実との闘いを覚悟することだと思うよ
Oops. Yes?
おっと
はい
Yes, I'm here.
はい いますよ
Resolve...
覚悟…
Does everyone at Ezonoo have that?
エゾノーのやつらはみんな持ってんのかな
An urgent patient's coming in. Can I ask you to leave?
急患が来るから ここ空けてくれる？
Sorry, I wanted to let you look around, but...
ごめんね ゆっくり見てってもらいたいんだけど
No problem!
はい お忙しいところお邪魔しました
Sorry to bother you during a busy time!
It's just about time for us to head back, anyway.
ちょうど帰らなきゃいけない時間だね
Oh, right! Gotta do the evening stable chores!
あっ そっか 夕方の馬の世話
うん？ 何だろ？
What's going on?
Oh, it's a funeral.
あぁ 葬式だよ
Did someone pass away?
誰か亡くなったんですか
Yeah, yesterday.
うん 昨日な
One of the race horses suddenly died.
競走馬が１頭急死したんだわ
They're giving it a funeral like it were a person...
人間みたいに葬式するんすね
It depends on the owner.
馬主さんの意向だよ
It's lucky to have a nice funeral.
立派な葬式出してもらってよかったなぁ
Did it have a good racing record?
活躍した馬ですか
No, it was nothing special.
いや 大した成績ではなかったよ
Most of them get group funeral rites
たいていは死んでも
慰霊碑やら馬頭観音さんでまとめて鎮魂祭するんだけどな
at a memorial or at the horse-headed Bodhisattva,
but this one's owner must've made a special request.
馬主さんが特別にって頼んだんだろ
We make our living with horses,
俺ら馬に食わせてもらってるからよ
so we'd like to give all of them a proper funeral.
どの馬もみんな葬式挙げてやりたいけど
But business is tough...
経営厳しいから
Just because of the life they were born into,
そう生まれてしまったばっかりに
they're stuck with a life-or-death existence.
生か死かの２択人生に放り込まれて
Their lives are decided on a person's single whim.
人間の気持ち一つで一生を左右されるんだもんなぁ
If we ever come to completely understand how a horse feels,
馬の気持ちが完璧に分かったら
we might go crazy.
俺ら気がおかしくなるかもしれん
Your place has cows, right?
駒場んちって 牛飼ってんだっけ？
Your mom's managing it all by herself right now?
今はお母さん１人で切り盛りしてんの？
Huh? Yeah.
うん？ ああ
Mom's getting along in her years,
うちの親ももう年だし
so I'm the only one who can carry on the business.
俺が継がねえと 誰もやるやついねえから
Sorry...
悪い 後継ぎは気楽でいいとか言っちゃって
I said earlier that it's easy being the heir.
Nah, not knowing where you came from, I was overly harsh.
いや 俺もお前のことよく分かってないのに言い過ぎた
すまん
Sorry.
What, Aki?
んだよ アキ
Oh, it's just that I don't see you apologizing to people very often.
いやぁ いっちゃんが珍しく人に謝ったなーと思って
Shut up, idiot!
うっせえ バカ
What?! Why're they so close?!
えっ 何！？ その親密感！
Ooezo Agricultural High School Dormitory for Future Agriculture Managers
Did everyone get to recharge over Golden Week?
え～ みんな
ゴールデンウイークはリフレッシュできたか
Or is that a stupid question when you've all been working at home?
つっても 家で仕事してたらリフレッシュもくそもないか
Yeah.
ですよねー
Well, change gears and start working hard again, tomorrow.
またあしたから気持ち切り替えて頑張れ
以上 おやすみ
That is all.
Good night!
うーっす
All right.
Good night!
Make sure you turn in your cell phones!
携帯預けてけよー
Received 1 Message
Mom
I transferred your monthly allowance. Are you used to things there?
What? No way!
えー いいなぁ
You went to the clinic at Ban'ei?
ばんえいの診療所に行ったのか
Yeah, it was like a torture chamber.
うん 何か拷問部屋みたいでさ
The vet said that you need to be prepared to kill in order to be a vet.
獣医になるには殺せるかどうかの覚悟が必要だって
Yeah... you do.
そう…だよね
Maybe I'm not really cut out for it, after all...
やっぱり 僕 適性ないのかもな
Do you have the resolve and stuff
常盤も夢かなえるために覚悟とか持ってんの？
to make your dream come true, Tokiwa?
Resolve?
覚悟？
Well, you need resolve, all right.
まあ 覚悟はいるわな
We're a poultry farm,
うち養鶏やってるから
so if we got hit by the avian flu,
鳥インフルエンザなんぞ発生したら
we'll need to kill our entire flock and be instantly
鶏全部処分で一気に借金うん千万になるし
tens of millions in the hole.
If you're talking that much money, you have to be able to do math!
そんなでっかい金が動く仕事するなら
数学できなきゃ駄目だろ
I j-just need to hire an accountant!
け…経理の人雇えばいいっしょ
Don't rack up unnecessary overhead costs.
余計な人件費掛けるなよ
Are you worried about him?
この子 気になるの？
Yeah, he's the eighth one in a litter of eight.
うん…
こいつ８頭いるうちの８番目だもんな
My name has "eight" in it, too, so...
俺もハチだし
I know!
分かってるよ
I'm not saying I'm gonna name him Hachirou or Eight!
ハチローとかエイトとか名前付けようなんて思ってないよ
Don't do it. He's not a pet.
やめときなって ペットじゃないんだから
He's going to become meat for sure.
確実に肉になるんだから
It'll only hit you harder later on.
後でしんどいよー
We're all used to it...
うちらは慣れてるけどさ
どうしても名前付けたいなら
If you insist on naming him,
make it "Pork Bowl."
豚丼とかにしときなさい
それだ
That's it!
That'll let you raise it objectively!
それなら客観的に育てられる
Damn it...
くっそー よーし 決めた
Fine, I've decided!
I'll raise you into a great pig on par with the others!
俺がお前を他のやつらに負けない立派な豚に育て上げてやる
It's you and me for the next three years, Pork Bowl!
３年間仲良くしような 豚丼
Hi, we're third-years in Food Science!
ちわーっす 食品科３年でーす
When can we turn this litter of piglets into bacon?
この前生まれた子豚いつごろベーコンにしていいですかー
３カ月後だ
In three more months.
Goodbye, Pork Bowl...
さよなら 豚丼…

My name is Shiroishi, and I was the homeroom teacher
ことし酪農科に入学した
for Hachiken Yugo, who entered your Dairy Science Department this year.
八軒勇吾の担任をしておりました白石と申します
A-ha. I see...
ほぉほぉ なるほど
Is that so...
それは それは
たまには手紙を書いてみようよ
どっかにポストカードでもあったけ
懐かしい顔に見けて
ほんの数行ノスタルジーを
調子はどうですか
忙しくしていますか
無我夢中で探しまわってた
あの夢の具合はどんなだい
気分転換くらいのノリで
一緒に歌わないか
そして無我夢中で探しまわってた
あの夢の続きを語り合おうよ
明日は頑張ろうぜ
今はそこにある未来へ
駆け出して さぁ 行こう
