Synopsis of Episode 9 of "The Reluctant Preacher" released

The drama series " The Reluctant Preacher " (Nippon TV, Saturday 9pm) starring actress Alice Hirose . The synopsis and stills from the 9th episode, which will air on June 7th, have been released.

On the way home from school, Shizuka (Hirose) and Ayaka (Toyoshima Hana) bump into Haruki Wakisaka (Hagiwara Mamoru), a student who is undergoing long-term treatment due to poor health. Wakisaka, who says that his health has improved and he is able to go outside, asks with a straight face, "Teacher...can you help me?"

In fact, it turns out that she was secretly bullied in her first year, and Ayaka is surprised to hear this story for the first time. Wakisaka, who is still suffering, does not reveal who bullied her or what, but instead, as a test of Shizuka, demands that she find the students who bullied her and apologize. "If they can't do that... then I'll... get revenge on them," he declares.

Shizuka is left scratching her head at the impossible task. According to the principal, Kyoko (Kimura Yoshino), Wakisaka stopped coming to school in February of his first year, complaining of poor health, and his parents simply said, "He'll return when he's better." He was promoted because of his excellent grades and sufficient attendance, but the school has no choice but to wait for him to return. Neither Urami ( Shota Watanabe) nor Seira (Okazaki Sae) had any idea about the bullying, and they had a weak impression of Wakisaka to begin with. Moriguchi (Ito Atsushi), Wakisaka's homeroom teacher in his first year, had been absent from school ever since the incident with Aika (Shida Mirai).

Meanwhile, Vice Principal Shinjo (Kote Shinya) is persuaded by Oguchi (Noro Kayo) to leave the Moriguchi faction and tears up the "list of forced dropouts."

Meanwhile, Shizuka visits Moriguchi's apartment to ask about Wakisaka, but the situation takes an unexpected turn...

The drama is an original script by Okura, who has worked on "Nursing Aide At Your Side" and "Yips". It is a school entertainment with the theme of "lecturing".
