Great
Teacher Onizuka volume 9
Lesson #77 - The way of richness.
One of the other principals greeted (Hiroshi) Uchiyamada,
adding that the season for the sunflowers to bloom has finally
arrived. Uchiyamada replied that he has been waiting for the
season for a long time. The unidentified principal asked if
Uchiyamada has some memories about those sunflowers because
he liked them so much, and Uchiyamada vehemently denied, saying
that it’s just nothing much.
As he walked, he remembers when he was an adolescent, he
met a spunky girl who were admired by most of the male students.
After school, she will make it a habit to stand in front of
a sunflower garden, savoring the view so much she didn’t
realize that the sun have set. At that time, a young Uchiyamada
will also look at her from a distance. He knows that she likes
poems, so he sent her a poem declaring his love for her. Uchiyamada
is now walking inside the school’s sunflower garden,
as he recited the poem he wrote for her. He then remembers
that the girl slapped him when he gave her the poem, and from
that time on, she didn’t talk with him anymore. But,
Uchiyamada apparently mistakes her rejection of him for something
else, and Uchiyamada will smile instead when he remembers
that incident.
Suddenly, in the middle of the sunflower garden he sees some
watermelons, cucumbers and others vegetables. He started to
become puzzled when he sees (Eikichi) Onizuka farming inside
the garden. A shocked Uchiyamada asked Onizuka on what have
happened inside the sunflower garden, the whereabouts of the
sunflowers that should be in the place of the vegetables.
Onizuka pointed at his feet, and Uchiyamada screams to see
his beloved sunflowers beneath his shoes. Onizuka commented
that sunflowers couldn’t be used as fertilizers, so
he ripped them all and replaced them with edible vegetables.
He added, that the vegetables are farmed with organic fertilizers,
and no use of pesticides.
Onizuka then asked the angry Uchiyamada to try and eat some
tomatoes, and that he can bring some to his house so his wife
can cook it. He noticed Uchiyamada’s angry face, and
wondered what have happened. He offered some raw edible vegetables,
but Uchiyamada picked up a shovel and started to move forward
to hit Onizuka, lashing at him for destroying his sunflower
garden. Onizuka sees him, and try to warn him about the ‘fertilizers’
but it’s too late and Uchiyamada stepped into a hole
full with shit. Onizuka and Uchiyamada are silent, and Uchiyamada
screams that he had stepped on a shit hole.
Meanwhile Onizuka exclaimed that Uchiyamada had stepped on
his ’fertilizers’, as the passing students and
teachers looked at them bickering. (Azusa) Fuyutsuki is laughing
when she looked at them. Uchiyamada is shocked as Onizuka
explained that the hole he stepped into is the place where
he shitting everyday. And it will become his fertilizers.
He then asked Uchiyamada to eat some, but Uchiyamada refused.
As they quarreled, (Saeko) Iijima and (Miyabi) Aizawa looked
at them for afar and smiled.
In the class, (Kouji) Fujiyoushi is marveling at a Casio
G-Shock Frogman wristwatch that another student had bought.
The student explained that he went to Casio shop that day
and he saw the wristwatch. Even that it costs 50000 yen, he
bought it immediately because there’s only 10 of them
available in the whole Japan. Fujiyoushi is shocked to hear
the price, and the student urges him to go and buy one, because
there’s only 5 pieces available. Fujiyoushi protested,
that he will not be able to buy such an expensive wristwatch,
and asked him to lend it to him for a day, only to be refused
by the student. Suddenly, Aizawa emerged at the class’s
doorway and called Fujiyoushi. She tells him that (Tadashi)
Sakurai asked Fujiyoushi to meet him. Fujiyoushi is puzzled
that Sakurai are calling for him.
He arrived at the teacher’s room, and Sakurai gives
him a stack of paper. Fujiyoushi asked on what the papers
for, and Sakurai replied that the papers are forms for the
outfield trip to Yatsugatake, so Fujiyoushi’s job is
to distribute them in his class and collect the payment, reminding
him that the method of payment will be changed from bank draft
to cash. Fujiyoushi protested, saying that if it included
collecting money, it should be the job of the class monitor,
which is Aizawa. Sakurai replied that Fujiyoushi is the only
person he knows well from the 4th class. Fujiyoushi protested
again in vain. He then walked away, murmuring to himself,
as Sakurai is silent.
Suddenly, a teacher that sits next to him asked him why the
payment method was changed to cash, when usually the fees’
payment method are usually via bank draft. He added that cash
payment is dangerous as 28000 yen x 40 students will be a
lot of money. Sakurai is shocked, and started to make excuses
that the sponsors wanted to change the payment method, and
excuses himself to go to a class. Outside the teacher’s
room, Sakurai started to breath wildly, and wonders why Aizawa
wants him to do such things. He remembers that by writing
the ads that way, Onizuka will be ousted from the school,
and he is puzzled on how Aizawa will do it. Meanwhile, after
the school both (Kunio) Murai and (Taadaki) Kusano bid him
goodbye. As he walked home, he passed the Casio center, and
reads the advertisement that there’s only 3 Frogman
watch left. Fujiyoushi is silent, and walked away as he commented
that only 3 are left.
In the next day, the students started to pay to him. Murai
commented that the bag containing the money is very heavy
now. Fujiyoushi commented that it should be, because it contains
more than 1 million yen. Murai is shocked and Kusano tried
to take a peek into the bag too. Murai jokingly suggested
that Fujiyoushi eloped to another country, and Fujiyoushi
dismissed his suggestions. (Yoshito) Kikuchi started to speculate
on the returns Fujiyoushi will get if he invested the money
at Indonesia, but (Urumi) Kanzaki countered by saying that
investing them on cows (webmaster note: It’s just like
what Toshiyuki Saejima offers to Onizuka in volume 14. Cow
meats in Japan are expensive) will be more profitable. Suddenly,
Fujiyoushi noticed that the moneybag is missing, and he sees
Onizuka at the corner, phoning his racehorse brokerage with
the moneybag in his hand as the other students looked at him
suspiciously. Fujiyoushi become angry, and he takes the bag
away from Onizuka.
In the next scene, Fujiyoushi commented that he has to hide
the money someplace safe, or the idiots in the class will
spend them all. He suddenly remembers that he can easily buy
the Frogman watch now, but he shakes the thought from his
mind. Suddenly, he hears a student talking that the Frogman
watch have started to sell, and another student replied that
there’s only one left at the Casio shop. Fujiyoushi
is silent as he holds the moneybag. He then walked away from
the locker room, as (presumably) Aizawa and Iijima looked
at him.
Back at the Casio shop, the shop cashier thanked Fujiyoushi
for buying the Frogman watch. He shivers as he holds the box
containing the watch. He then goes to a restaurant. At his
table, he put his bag on a chair next to him, as he examined
the watch and subsequently tried to wear them. He commented
that there’s no way back, and he will ask his mother
for exchange for the money he used. He started to marvel at
the watch further as a girl wearing a cap that sits behind
him started to smile...
He arrived at his house just to be greeted by the sight of
his younger siblings chasing each other. He asked them to
be silent and queried the whereabouts of their mother. His
sister replied that she is inside going her work. Then, Fujiyoushi
goes to his mother workroom. He opened the sliding door, announcing
his return. He asked for a favor from his mom, and before
he finished talking, his mom interjected that she knows he
wants more pocket money. Fujiyoushi is shocked that she knows,
and explained that he wants some 50000-yen, and he will pay
it later. Suddenly, his mom replied that she doesn’t
have that kind of money, and Fujiyoushi frowned as he replied
that he understands.
Back to his room, Fujiyoushi opened his bag; as he commented
that he have to find another way to get the money he used
for buying the watch. Suddenly he noticed that the moneybag
is missing, and he started to panic. He remembers that the
moneybag is still inside the bag at the Casio shop, and he
suddenly realized that he might have dropped it at the restaurant.
His sister asked him to have dinner, but he instead started
to dart out from the house.
Back at the school, Sakurai is talking with Onizuka about
a secret female high-school students club. He added that a
teacher tells him about the club, but now the teacher is sick
and Sakurai don’t have the guts to go there by himself.
He explained that he tells Onizuka about it because he thinks
that Onizuka may be interested. Sakurai then whispered that
Onizuka will be able to rent a room and go with the girl he
likes into it and do whatever he please. Hearing that, Onizuka
exclaimed that he will go no matter what, and asked for the
ticket price. Sakurai replied that it will be 50000 yen, and
Onizuka tells Sakurai to wait for him as he takes his jacket.
Onizuka walked away singing, as Sakurai started to sweat.
At his ‘penthouse’, Onizuka commented about the
chance of going to the club, and the opportunity of ending
his ‘virginal’ life. He takes his jacket up, but
he is shocked to see a lot of money falling down from the
pockets. He is silent as he wondered from where the money
has come.....
FINISHED.
