One day, her student Kogure Kazuhiko (Sueoka Takuto) falls from the rooftop. Kazuhiko was on the rooftop with some other male students who say that he was jumping to the neighbouring school building but missed it and fell. Fortunately, although Kazuhiko ends up with a fracture leg and ribs, he is in a stable condition. However, in order to protect its public image, the school explains to Kazuhiko’s mother Hidemi (Horiuchi Keiko) that it was not bullying but an accident caused by a caper with friends. Kazuhiko has a fear of heights and would not have done something like that. Hidemi, who is skeptical of the school’s explanation, consults Mayuzumi Machiko (Aragaki Yui). Machiko is an enthusiastic lawyer with a sense of justice and readily agrees to undertake this case. However, she is not confident that she is going to win this alone and seeks the help of Komikado Kensuke (Sakai Masato). Komikado cuts her off by telling her that he hates kids and schools, but he accepts the case in the end. On the other hand, the school gets Miki Choichiro (Namase Katsuhisa) to represent it. Miki, who has had bitter experiences with Komikado in previous trials, burns with exceptional hostility. He decides to entrust this case to the lawyer Teshigawara Isao (Kitaoji Kinya). Komikado has never lost in a trial. Standing in court in high spirits, he sees the presiding judge Beppu Toshiko (Hirosue Ryoko) and is astounded. Komikado who has a great love for females had once tried to pick Toshiko up at a ski resort while on a vacation but was unceremoniously dumped. Toshiko’s impression of Komikado puts him at a great disadvantage before the case is fought in court.
