Learn Japanese with Short Drama: Suspicious Souvenir

Hello, Mr. Kitano, Professor Hirose. Hello, sorry for the sudden message. It's unusual for Professor Hirose to get in touch, isn't it? Well, was there something wrong? Ah, right, here you go. It's a doll roast. Is this a souvenir? Did Mr. Hirose go somewhere? No, I received it. Is that really true? May I accept it? Please, please, I'm always indebted to Mr. Kitano. Thank you, Teacher Who said "all of it"? You give them one box at a time, don't you? No, no, just one only. It's a souvenir I received, after all. You're so stingy. Then, what? Just one, please. Please, go ahead. How is it? It's delicious. In the old days, I didn't really like wagashi much, but... Yet strangely, as one grows older, it feels more delicious. Doesn't it have a strange taste? It's just the regular anko flavor, huh? By the way, who did you get it from? That's just it—I don't understand. What do you mean by that? It was delivered to my home this morning. But I don't know who sent it. I thought it might be a mistake at first, but My name is properly It was written there, and I thought it seemed suspicious. But it looks delicious as well. So you fed me first, didn't you? That's right, I'm glad There's nothing strange inside, Professor Hirose That's terrible, sorry, sorry Is this really okay? It's not rotten, is it? That one I'm fine, you see It is still edible. Thanks to Mr. Titano, I can rest assured. Which one can be eaten? One, please! Sir Too bitter What's wrong with the water? Water Sir, are you all right? Mr. Titan, hurry up and call an ambulance Please call an ambulance. Please show me what's inside for a moment. It's poison, you know. This is the poison that was in my possession. Mustard, that's what it is—mustard. Sir, please calm down. Look, please see this Wasabi? What do you mean? Just now there wasn't any fake ingredient at all, but someone must have added it. We need to check, sir. You don't have any idea who the culprit might be? No, I don't. I wonder where I bought this. Could it be the doll ledger? I guess it must be the doll ledger. It's a specialty of the doll book, the famous doll-shaped mochi. Is there chili in it? That's impossible, isn't it? After the culprit bought it I put it in. Who on earth would do something like that? Best before: September 1 That means August It should have been available for sale at the store around the 27th, I think. So the suspect bought this manju on August 27, is that right? Yes, then Mr. Kitano Please go to the store on that day. Please go and find out if there were any suspicious customers. You're a police officer, so you're the teacher. The police can't move, you know. It's just a prank. Pranks? This is terrorism! Terrorism! Please calm down. I can't possibly calm down! By the way, the teacher is August 27th Where were you? Why are you asking me something like that? Anyway, Anyway, August 27th is What day is it today? It's Wednesday. Wednesday, isn't it? It's a weekday, then. Then go to school. You weren't at school, were you? Yes, that day was It was a field trip for third graders. That's right, Aozora High School goes on a trip to Tokyo during the third year, didn't they? Yeah, it's so nostalgic, isn't it? You were saying they'd definitely split into groups, right? That's right. We decide on places to visit in Tokyo by group and then act accordingly, right? That's right. I went to Harajuku for the first time back then. I walked along Takeshita Street with my friends. What should I do if I get scouted? I might end up talking about things like that. You were a girl who used to dream, weren't you? Well, anyway. I'm fine with hearing some reminiscences. I don't know. Then the teacher also went on a sightseeing trip to Tokyo, right? No, I did not go. Why is that? You go every single year, every year. I've gotten bored lately. There are also lots of tourists these days. It's tiring, you know. I slacked off, after all. Well, I guess so. But regarding this matter... To students and fellow teachers, It's a secret from them. I already said you suddenly developed a fever. That's it, that's it Because the gentleman suddenly can't go on the Tokyo tour Someone bought a souvenir for the teacher, you know. Come to think of it That day from that guy Hasegawa A message was sent, sir. Look, the place where Hasegawa-kun is. This is Ningyocho, you know. Sir, are you feeling okay? Take it easy and rest. I'll buy you a souvenir, so see you later. That guy damn it What did you eat? That's right. That means I didn't receive it, didn't I? Didn't I get everything? What? It's usual to give them as a whole box, isn't it? Just one, is that the one that went in? I can see it because it's inside. Transparently
