subtitle  
[Cherry Flower Blossomed, or Will it?]
("Sakura saita / Cherry flower blossomed" is a telegram message from the famous Tokyo University sent to those students passed the secondary exams.  "Sakura chitta / Cherry flower perished " is for the bad news.)


Mitaka:  I heard Godai-kun hasn't come back.
Akemi:  Yeah, for a week.  Right now is the rush hour for failure notice."
(In most cases, people phrase it as "passing notice", but Akemi said this way intentionally.)
Mitaka:  You people have been nagging him, right?
Akemi:  All we did was to point out the truth, clearly.
Mitaka:  See?  You've been nagging him.... But aren't you worried?  I mean it's this kind of season, right now, so..
Akemi:  Don't worry, he'll be back once he fails everything.

Sakamoto:  Godai, are you sure?
Godai:  About what?
Sakamoto:  You can't keep on running away, right?
Godai:  I can't go back to Ikkoku-kan before I pass at least one exam..
Sakamoto:  What?  Then, are you going to stay at my place till next year?
Godai:  YOU!!
Sakamoto:  Godai!!  Your slot!!
(Godai's pachinko slot hits the jackpot.  When this happens, the machine will be turned off for a while..  The prize is given out in proportion to the amount of balls earned.    DS)
Sakamoto:  Let's do BBQ party tonight!
Godai:  Before that, underwear!
Sakamoto:  Underwear?  Let's go for BBQ!
Godai:  No. I want new underwear!
Sakamoto:  Godai.  Whose place are you staying right, now?
slip!!  AAAAAARGGHH!!!!!

Godai:  Rent me some underwear.
Sakamoto:  You think I can loan them to somebody else?
Godai:  To begin with, I hit the jackpot, didn't I?!!!!
Sakamoto:  Come on, why don't you go home and get them?
..........................

Godai:  !!!   I forgot!!

Godai:  hmmmm !!
Kyoko:  What was that?...
Godai:  sigh...  !  hmmmm  !!   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yotsuya:  Looks like you're having fun..  Is this new sort of play?
Godai:  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Trying to grab my underwear..
Yotsuya:  Boring...
Godai:  Yotsuya-san!!

Kyoko:  Ronin student mysterious death by falling..  Possibly suicide from hardship...  !!  Thank god  it's not Godai-san..  But why doesn't he contact me if he's staying out?!   !!!!

"I wanna use the washing machine, you know.."
Godai:  Oh, sorry....

CM eye catch

Grandma:  So, you're Ikkoku-kan's..........
Kyoko:  Godai-san's...
"........................................."
Grandma:  Thank you for the food..  Thank you for taking care of my grandson.
Kyoko:  Oh, it's just about the same to me.
Grandma:  No my grandson is.
Kyoko:  No..
"No that's understatement. "  "No really." "no."  etc

"EXCUSE ME!  the bowl!"
Grandma:  Oh..

Grandma:  Sorry to make you carry heavy luggages.
Kyoko:  It's OK.
Grandma:  I thought Yuhsaku would come to pick me up.
Kyoko:  Yuhsaku?
Grandma:  My grandson's name.
Kyoko:  Ronin-san's?
Grandma:  Didn't you know?
Kyoko:  !..  Oh, come to think about it...   Sure, ronin can't be his name.
Grandma:  But that brat, my letter should've got there two, or three days ago.  What's he doing, without coming to pick me up.
Kyoko:  If it's two or three days, no way he could've read it..
Grandma: ?

Godai:  Hey Sakamoto.
Sakamoto:  ?
Godai:  Can I stay at your place a bit longer?
Sakamoto:  I don't care.  Are you sure?
Godai:  About what?
Sakamoto:  Shouldn't you at least phone janitor
Godai:  Don't mention that name!
Sakamoto:  ?
Godai:  I'm used to picked on by Yotsuya-san, or Akemi-san, but I can't stand to see kanrinin-san's face of sympathy.
Sakamoto:  That's miserable.  Yeah, that's miserable.  That's really miserable.  That's hopelessly miserable.  
Godai:  grrrrrrrrrrrrrr  Don't repeat that so many times!!  It's making me more miserable!!

Akemi:  ! kanrinin-san!  
Kyoko:  .....  Let's go..
Akemi:   Found Godai-kun yet?!
Grandma: ?
Kyoko:  SURE, I DID!!  Here, Godai-san's grandmother.
Akemi:  You don't have to shout, you know?
Grandma:  Let's drink coffee.
Kyoko:  But..
Grandma:  I'll pay.
Kyoko:  ...  Akemi-san, listen..
Grandma:?
Kyoko:  I'll join you. Please go ahead.    
Akemi:  Is she really Godai-kun's grandma?
Kyoko:  She is, so please don't tell her about Godai-san for a while.
Akemi:  Oh.
Kyoko:  Sure she'll find about it some time, but I can't make her worry right after she got here!
Akemi:  She'll find out, soon.
Kyoko:  But if we can find him before evening...
Akemi:  What I mean is  (opens the door)

Yotsuya:  I deeply express my condolence to your grandson..

Kyoko: .................................
Akemi:  See?

Grandma:  And Yuhsaku failed all of them?
Yotsuya:  It seems it's a matter of time.  So, about for a week...
Kyoko:  Yotsuya-san! 
Yotsuya:  Oh hello kanrinin-san.
Kyoko:  ("silence gesture")
Yotsuya:  What's this? (copy the gesture)
Kyoko:  !...
Akemi:  Such a pointless attempt.

Grandma: ........
Kyoko:  grandmother?!
Akemi:  Now you made her cry.
Grandma:  hahahahahahhehehehehihihihihi.... I'm sorry.
Kyoko:  ?
Grandma:  He must've run away.  I can guess what he does.  He's pretty gutless,so..  You shouldn't get worried.  All he's doing is to pretend to be troubled.
Akemi:  Thank god, eh, kanrinin-san.  You got grandma's guarantee.
Kyoko:  I'm  not particularly..
Mitaka:  Really All of you in Ikkoku-kan are pretty cold.  Kanrinin-san was the only one who was worried.
Kyoko:  Master!
Akemi:  Come on.  It is the truth.
Kyoko:  All of you words have thorn in them!!  And what would you want to do, grandmother?  If Godai-san isn't around..
Grandma:  When is the announcement?
Kyoko:  Tomorrow is the last one of the private, and the national is long later.
Grandma:  Nationals are hopeless.  Tomorrow is the last chance.
Kyoko:  It seems...
Grandma:  If he fails tomorrow's one, I'm taking him back home.
Kyoko:  !
Grandma:  Of course.  Our home isn't rich enough to feed ronin for nothing.
Kyoko:  ...................
Yotsuya:  I'm gonna loose my play mate..........

Grandma:  Sorry I asked you to come with me.
Kyoko:  It's OK.  I hope he passed.
Grandma:  Yeah..  I don't wanna see my grandson's crying face, after all...

Kyoko:  how about him, grandmother.
Grandma: ............. 
Kyoko:  ! could it be?!
Grandma:  kanrinin-san.. I..
Kyoko:  Yes.
Grandma:  I...
Kyoko:  Yes!

Yotsuya:  We missed the tide
Akemi:  I can't get in tune with her...
Yotsuya:  Really..
Akemi:  But aren't you happy that your playmate is staying?
Yotsuya:  Godai-kun is my toy, so...
Kyoko:  Please drink as much as you want.  I'll permit that for tonight.

Grandma:  Yuhsaku, what did you?!
Kyoko:  No, it's not like that.  It's nothing special.  
Ichinose:  Then tell us what it is
