Aku no Hana (The Flowers of Evil)

Saeki

Saeki

Jesus, no!

Am I out of my mind?!

Hey...

Wait...

No...

Don't do that...

I can smell her shampoo.

Aku no Hana

episode two (thirteen total)

We really shouldn't do that

dakedo shicha ikenai no desu

So accept your wounds, come on

dakara kizutsuite shimae

An angel flies through heaps of trash

garakuta ni tenshi ga tobu

I'm a piece of shit

kusorashiki no boku

I hate flower arrangement when it misses the mark

oshii kadou ga kiraida

I keep adding

kitto boku wa machigai to

to my sins and mistakes day in, day out

tsumi wo kasaneteku no desu

Rather than the beginning or end of a story, I'd like to see the flower bloom

owari to hajimari yori mo sakimi no ga ne mitakute

I can't endure it

tamaranai no desu

I want to go somewhere far away.

Somewhere far away.

Take me beyond that hill.

You'll lose something precious.

Bloom, flower, and open the sprouts of sin

sake yo hana hana tsumi no me wo dashite

Bloom, flower, and see your buds lorded over

sake yo hana hana shihai sareteku tsubomi

I'm chasing a hope that will ruin me like flowers in fall

harahara sasetewa kareru kibou oikateteshimau

I won't let you be alone

hitori ni sasenai

Welcome back.

What's wrong? You're drenched in sweat.

Are you feeling sick?

I'm fine.

Takao.

What?

Did you clean your room yet?

I told you yest—

Fine!

I'll do it!

Just give me some time alone.

You've got books everywhere, just like your father.

I'm a flower of evil.

No doubt about it.

Is Saeki absent today?

Yo, Kasuga!

Dude, did you see what happened yesterday?

Shut up!

Leave me alone for a bit.

The hell's wrong with you?

If she's absent today,

maybe I can sneak her clothes back.

All right, to your seats.

Day monitor?

Stand.

Bow.

Sit.

Okay, I have something to tell everyone.

Listen.

When Saeki got here in the morning, her gym clothes were gone.

Okay, pipe down.

It seems someone took them from the bag they were in.

Anyone have any ideas?

Unbelievable.

Poor Nanako.

Right?

We got a deviant among us, huh?

If you know anything, no matter how small, talk to me.

All right, let's start homeroom.

I want to go somewhere far away.

Somewhere far away.

I'm a sinner.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Saeki.

I'll atone for my sin the rest of my life.

Even when I'm old and frail,

I'll still seek redemption.

But there's nowhere to go.

Nowhere in this town,

and nowhere for me.

The mountains encircle this place,

and there is no escape.

Just how many can appreciate Baudelaire here?

Why is everything crumbling from rust?

What are you doing, Kasuga?

I... I'm on my way to the bookstore.

So long.

Say...

You're always reading some book, right?

Why?

It looks kind of weird, your book.

Like something no one's ever seen before.

Is it fun to read?

Huh?

You know I'm reading it?

Yeah.

I sit right behind you.

I wouldn't call it "fun"...

But I guess it changed my world.

Normal people wouldn't understand it, of course.

Hey, what are you doing?

Take me beyond that hill.

What? Why?

Why?

Because I want to go there.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

There's a book I ordered.

I have to go to the store and pick it up.

Kasuga...

You see...

I saw you.

I saw you steal Saeki's gym clothes.

If you want me to keep it a secret, take me beyond that hill.

Come on.

He bolted.

What? Liver again?

Tell him it wasn't funny!

No, I'll get fired!

What's wrong?

Feeling sick?

No.

Good to hear.

Did you buy that book?

The one you ordered.

I've been meaning to read it myself.

Let me see it.

I... I haven't bought it yet.

Takao?

Where's your bicycle?

It's not here.

I forgot it.

At the bookstore.

Why?

What? So you did go to the bookstore?

Thanks for dinner!

Takao!

Leave him be.

Puberty isn't easy.

I'm done for.

I'm a fallen being now.

I'm sure she's going to tell everyone.

Of course she will.

And I have no idea what she's up to.

Why?

I never meant for this to happen.

I didn't steal them.

I just had an urge to take them home.

Seriously, Kasuga?

You creep.

You crazy deviant.

Honestly?

You little shit, Kasuga.

Apologize.

Just go to Hell.

I'm disappointed.

What will the neighbors think?

Die.

I'll fess up.

I'll fess up.

I'll apologize before Nakamura can tell everyone.

I'll give Saeki her clothes back tomorrow.

I'll try to make them believe that it was just some crazy impulse.

That grief's the sole nobility, I know it,

Where neither Earth nor Hell can make attacks,

And that, to deck my mystic crown of poet,

All times and universes paid their tax.

Because it will be only made of light,

Drawn from the hearth of the essential rays,

To which our mortal eyes, when burning bright,

Are but the tarnished mirrors that they glaze.

I got a boyfriend yesterday!

What? Really?

Really!

Where'd you meet him?

'Sup!

Maybe...

Maybe...

Maybe she'll understand if I'm honest about it and apologize.

I'm not a deviant.

All right, to your seats.

Well, that's all I've got to say.

Is there anything you want to tell me?

Nothing? Okay.

Homeroom's over.

2.25 meters.

Okay, next.

What happened to your gym clothes, Nanako?

My parents bought me new ones.

Oh, okay.
