      Tokoro de Sōta-kun no kayotteru kono juku—— honto namae dōri no kowasō na juku ne!
      By the way Sōta-kun, is this cram school you’re studying at—— as hellish as its name suggests?

      Oh! You mean “Gokumon Cram School”? “Gokumon” actually means something like ‘studying to extremes’, but people just go with “Gokumon” as in ‘prison gate’ because of its harsh conditions!

      Ya da! Kowai!
      No way! That’s spooky!
