Original subtitles

Just now, someone called 110 and made a report...

...about a kidnapping case of a minor. Can you come with us to the police station?

"Interrogation Room"

Suenaga Hijiri-san.

You are suspected for kidnapping a minor.

Kidnapping?

It's not like that. That's a misunderstanding.

We both just met up and had a talk.

The boy's mother has filed a lawsuit to us.

If this goes further, I will take the appropriate measure.

If you can let me see Kuroiwa-san and explain this...

...I think she will understand...

It's impossible until we finished our investigation here.

I was the one who dragged Sensei before.

If she sees us now...

Seems like my mom saw us together.

That's why I...

He's still a minor.

For kidnapping a minor, you can get imprisoned for a period of 3 months to 7 years.

If you did it with some obscene motivations, the imprisonment can be extended to 1 year to 10 years long.

We are...

...just mutually...

Even though the minor might agree with you...

...if his parent wishes to proceed with her complaint...

...what you did will be concluded as a crime.

Everyone said that too, you know, that it's done by mutual consent.

We've told her about how serious this case could be.

However, to turn this into a real case...

...the suspicion is still not enough.

I see...

If you still can't agree with this...

...perhaps you can take another measure.

Akira-kun.

How is Sensei?

Why did you do this...

If Sensei alone has to be punished for this...

It's okay. After they finished talking to her, she can go back home.

Sensei didn't do anything wrong. I was...

Yes, the one who dragged that person to run away together...

- ...was you, right? - Huh?

It's your fault that it becomes like this now.

I also gave a warning to her already, that she shouldn't go further.

But even so, she secretly met you...

I can't trust her anymore. So I make her take the responsibility which she must take.

- If you're talking about responsibility, I will... - You're still a minor.

You can't take the responsibility.

- Your phone. - Huh?

Hand me your phone. I'm going to erase her contact number.

If something happens, it will just add to her faults.

Are you okay with that?

- Please take Akira home first. - Okay.

Boss, I really understand what you feel...

...but to do such uncompromising action like this...

...I hope it won't backfire instead.

"Hijiri-chan" "Delete"

Akira-kun. Akira-kun!

"Deleted"

With this, everything will be okay.

Kuroiwa-san, I'm really sorry.

Well... I was the one who came seeing Kuroiwa-kun.

- But to say that I tried to kidnap him is... - Let's talk about this tomorrow.

At 1 PM, this place.

I understand.

Mom... how come?

I found this in your room.

You canceled your contract with your previous apartment...

...and went back home then. But before I realized it, you already did such thing...

I don't want to trouble you anymore, Mom...

Do you plan to meet that boy here?

Just now, I got a call from Kuroiwa-san.

I can't believe that even the police is involved...

Tomorrow, I will go meeting Kuroiwa-san to talk about this.

If I explain to her properly, I'm sure she will understand...

Just do as you please.

I can't believe in you anymore.

From now on, just do everything on your own.

"University Admission Application Form"

Are you Suenaga Hijiri-san?

Yes?

I'm...

...Isogai, a lawyer.

I'm here today as Kuroiwa-san's representative.

Settlement?

After a careful consideration, Kuroiwa-san has decided...

...not to file a complaint to the police or send a report to the Board of Education...

...about the matter this time.

However, as the conditions, you have to put your sign...

- ...on this written oath. - Written oath...

"From now on, I, Suenaga Hijiri, will cut off..."

"...any kind of communication means to contact Kuroiwa Akira-san."

"If by any chance, I do anything which violate the matters written here..."

"...as the compensation for Kuroiwa Aiko-san's child custody infringement..."

"...I agree to pay 5 million yen at once."

"Even though I have to take any kind of punishments..."

"...I promise not to state any objection..."

"...regarding this matter."

"Kuroiwa Akira-sama's Mother (Legal Representative)" "Kuroiwa Aiko-sama"

If I can meet Kuroiwa-san in person and talk about this...

She said she didn't want to meet you.

You have 1 week deadline for this. I will be waiting for your response.

"Written Oath"

Chugakusei Nikki

English subtitle by: aoihachi

I'm going to submit this.

Just like what you said...

...I will devote myself to the exams.

That's why, about Sensei, someday...

I will end it all.

But for now, just concentrate on the exam.

We'll have a proper talk after that.

I understand.

You have 1 week deadline for this. I will be waiting for your response.

Chizuru-san?

Here. The personal belongings you left at the staff room before.

Thank you very much.

As expected...

...there's no way it would go well.

You both get carried away despite of being objected by everyone...

...and this is what you got.

You reap what you sow.

You are really my incapable junior.

Eat, sleep, talk.

When you feel down and everything doesn't work out...

...eat well, sleep well.

Find someone to talk about useless stuffs.

If you have no one to talk to, you can call me anytime.

If I have free time, I'll surely come here.

Okay.

Aah, don't cry anymore, will you?

Well, but you really cry, anyway.

It's okay then. Just cry, just cry.

Hijiri is crying~

Just do as you please. I can't believe in you anymore.

I will take the appropriate measure.

I want to be by your side, Sensei.

From now on and always.

"Tokyo"

Why are you rushing like that? Running away...

...as if I'm a pest or something.

Rather than a pest...

I see...

Desperately showing obsession to your ex-girlfriend. In an onlooker's point of view, you're a creepy clingy guy.

If it's so, come with me then. Seems like I'll be placed in Singapore.

I'm sorry. I can't be with you.

I was just worried about Hijiri.

No, it's not like that. It's just because your pride got hurt.

Because for the first time in your life, things don't go as you want.

Just kidding. I shouldn't say that.

Hijiri has a dispute with that guy's parent...

...and therefore it becomes a big deal or so.

What?

Then, both of them now...

Kuroiwa, what happened between you and Hijiri-chan?

- Ah~ That's bad. - It is, isn't it?

What happened with Hijiri-chan...

...and how much your mom got mad about that. It's double trouble!

It's as bad as trying to combine potato and coffee, you know.

Hey...

...I wonder what kind of thing it is to be an adult.

Hmm?

Anyhow, for now, I'll enter university...

...and give my mom peace of mind.

I will make her approve about Sensei.

I won't give up until that happens.

Well, even in the worst case...

...I actually wished that you two could be together.

What?

I might look like this, but I like pure love, you know~!

Hey, stop it! What's that?

Kuroiwa, the persistent guy, fight! Fight!

Kuroiwa, the persistent guy...

- I know, I know. - I'm sorry.

"Haraguchi-san"

This is body cream I bought in New York.

And this. I got this as present though, it's assorted soup.

This is detergent set. And this is electric blanket.

Thank you very much. But why do you do this?

These things are not enough to show my apology.

Because I did unnecessary things, you've got into troubles with his parent...

It's not... It's something I decided myself anyway.

Or better yet, elope?

I have an acquaintance, a married couple, who manage a rider house.

- Rider? - Not that rider who can transform.

You know, the ones who go touring by motorcycle.

I'm sure they're looking for employees now.

I guess it's impossible.

I'm sorry that you have a hard time.

I was told...

...to promise that...

...I would never meet Kuroiwa-kun again after this.

They even make a written oath about that.

So she took legal measures on you?

Though I've made a decision...

...that I won't lie to my feelings anymore.

Whom I do this for...

...or what I should do...

...I don't really understand anymore.

It is...

...like that too for everyone.

Sorry, excuse me...

Haraguchi-san, are you okay?

- Sorry, please call an ambulance. - Okay.

Haraguchi-san, are you okay? Haraguchi-san!

Consciousness level 200, blood pressure 169/98.

Pulse rate 125, saturation 94%.

Excuse me, please help us...

...to look for her insurance card or whether she has any registration card for personal hospital.

Okay.

"Maternity Health Record Book"

- How is Haraguchi-san? - She's getting treated now.

Just to make sure, they perform other examinations too.

What kind of examination?

Here.

She's 3 months pregnant.

Don't you know about this, Shotaro-san?

No...

...not at all.

Why Haraguchi-san...

We just finished the examinations.

The CT and MRI results show no abnormalities.

However, since her blood pressure isn't stable yet...

...to be safe, she will need to be hospitalized for a few days.

Haraguchi-san, how is your condition now?

Well, for now, I bring you some changing clothes...

Ah, Hijiri-chan.

Thank you, glad to see you expressly come here.

- I'm just about to go out. - Going out? Where to?

I'm going back home for a while, then go to work.

- But you haven't rested... - There's a negotiation I have to settle today.

It's okay. I'll be back here at night.

- Haraguchi-san, I think you better go back. - I've told you I'm okay.

- Now is such an important... - Yeah.

It's an important project.

In relation with ODA in Africa, the dam construction...

Which one is more important for you?!

You are pregnant now.

The first time I heard about it, I was surprised though.

But I'm happy.

It's such a blessing.

There should be nothing more important than that.

So please go back and take a proper rest.

Okay.

Sensei.

I've decided.

I will be a mother.

I will raise this child alone.

I've got this resolution now...

...thanks to Hijiri-chan.

Congratulations.

But... how about Shotaro-san?

I've thought about that too.

Just like you, Hijiri-chan. About what I can do for someone...

...or what the right things I should do.

But I come to realize that...

...nothing is completely right. There's no way we can understand either.

That's why...

...I have to look for what's right for myself.

If I can stand on my own and go forward...

...I believe I will find the answer then.

"Mass recruitment for part time worker"

Kuroiwa?

It's really you. Seems like lots of things happen, right?

I heard from Kokonoe about you and Suenaga...

Ah...

Kuroiwa.

- I thought you were a target. - Ouch...

Let's do our best.

Let's go.

- Do you remember about today's vocabulary test? - Nope.

- Suenaga-san. - Yes?

- Can you please deliver this to Takahashi-san? - Okay.

Please.

You have 1 week deadline for this. I will be waiting for your response.

Has she contacted you already?

Not yet.

So she hasn't said anything yet?

The deadline is tomorrow.

Could it be that she isn't going to sign the written oath...

If that's the case, as your lawyer I will file a report again to the police.

Actually, in important times before university entrance exam like this, I don't want to cause any bigger issues...

Exactly. That's why we are having the written oath.

Tomorrow, I will go to Suenaga-san's place to get it directly.

- She won't contact Akira-kun any longer... - Written oath?

- Akira... - What does it mean, huh?

- How is your mock exam? - What the hell is this?!

- Akira... - You said that after the exam was over...

...we'd think again about Sensei. That's why I...

What are you going to think about? Do you want to repeat the same thing again?

I heard nothing at all about this written oath.

Akira-kun, please calm down and listen to us.

What? Who the hell are you? What did you do to Sensei, huh?!

Stop it! Please stop it, Akira!

Even though you can't understand this now, you will surely understand it someday.

The reason I go this far...

...is all for you, Akira. Until you can be a proper adult...

Akira!

Wait, please!

Take a left turn after that family restaurant.

Nothing is completely right.

I have to look for what's right for myself.

Yes?

Sensei.

It's me.

You are there, right?

Please open the door.

I want to see you.

I want to hear your voice.

Sensei, please, I beg you.

Sorry to bother you.

Do you mind if I come in?

- Go ahead. - Excuse me.

I'm sorry to come here so suddenly.

It's about the written oath.

I thought about contacting you just now.

Today, I'm sorry to ask you to come expressly like this.

There's something I want to...

- ...properly tell you... - What about the written oath?

Last night...

...Kuroiwa-kun came to my place.

- He said he wanted to see me. - I want to see you.

Sensei.

I don't care no matter what other people say.

As long as I'm with you, Sensei...

It will be...

I didn't open the door.

And soon...

...Kuroiwa-kun went back home.

At first, this is what I wanted to tell you, Kuroiwa-san.

Our resolution is strong, that I will wait for him.

I want you to believe it as well.

But as expected, Kuroiwa-kun is still 18.

He's still unstable.

By some chance, he will suddenly get emotional...

...he can't move forward...

...and get back like the way he was in the past.

I understand well...

...why you are worried about Kuroiwa-kun.

What's important for Kuroiwa-kun...

...is the future.

No matter how much I think of him in my heart, I should never show it.

If I really think about him, this is what I should give him.

Time.

Distance.

Chance.

That is my responsibility as an adult.

But the fact that I was failed to do that...

...from the bottom of my heart...

...I truly apologize.

I will never meet him again.

Please tell this...

...to Kuroiwa-kun as well.

Excuse me.

Ah, you're here already. How unusual.

Usually you won't come down even though I've called you. Here.

Take out the soy sauce.

What about Sensei?

Did you meet her today?

I beg you...

...please tell me.

This is Sensei's answer.

Do you understand it, Akira?

"...I promise..."

"...I will not contact him anymore..."

Why it all became like this...

How her feeling was...

...when she signed this.

What can you do about that?

What can you do to answer this feeling?

Please think about it carefully, Akira.

Let's eat.

- Please come again. - Thank you very much.

Suenaga-san, it's okay for you to go home now.

You really did well.

If you'd like, how about being a full-time employee here?

Thank you very much.

But for now, I have something in mind.

"We are recruiting Japanese Language teachers!"

"Let's teach Japanese Language to people around the world!"

Ah, Kawai.

- Umm... - Stop. No, thank you.

I decline.

I haven't said anything yet.

You've said it. With your face.

Those stereotypical words that I hate.

'It's my responsibility'. 'Enter my family register. I will support you'.

'Please come with me to Singapore'.

I decline it all.

You've said everything I was about to say.

Your vocabulary is only that much.

Do you have someone already?

Aah, about before?

I know things didn't go well.

We just met after a long time, that's all. There's no 'someone'.

- If so, then I... - This child is my child.

I can do it by myself.

- Hijiri-chan. - Congratulations on being discharged from hospital.

Thank you for everything. I've made you worried.

I guess this is the right timing.

There's something I would like to tell you both.

Ah... Sensei.

Hello. It's been a long time since the last time we met.

- 'Ijime SOS?' - I'm being re-employed there.

You can consult about bullying and everything else about school life.

Anything.

The most important thing is that you seem to do well.

On the other day, I met Kokonoe-kun by chance.

I heard from him about Kuroiwa-kun.

He's still with Suenaga-sensei even now.

About that matter...

...I don't have any intention to allow it.

But...

...sometimes it breaks my heart too...

...to think that my only son...

...might resent me for that.

Honestly, there are times when I feel tired about it.

You are not doing anything wrong.

You just do what you have to do as a parent.

The one who was wrong...

...is Suenaga-sensei.

Don't worry.

Someone who has gone through hard times will surely be stronger then.

It is such irreplaceable experience.

He will surely be able to face his life after this.

"Thai Language"

"My new homeroom teacher Hijiri-chan. She said '1 minute silence' and she was the only one who closed her eyes."

"Then, Hijiri-chan came."

"I want to know Hijiri-chan more. I want to be closer to her." "I'm glad that I met Hijiri-chan."

"If only I were not 15."

"Then, Hijiri-chan disappeared from my 15-years-old summer."

Thank you very much.

What can you do about it?

What can you do to answer this feeling?

Good afternoon.

Please think about it carefully, Akira.

Hmm?

Hello, Shotaro-san?

Sorry to bother you while you're busy.

It's quite hectic with all the procedures though, but it's okay.

Somehow you've changed now, Hijiri.

Hmm?

Hijiri who was always shy and reserved doesn't exist anymore.

Now you're looking straight to somewhere faraway.

It encourages me as well.

I'm sure the answer will come out later.

Thank you, glad to hear you say such things about me.

It's also encouraging for me.

By the way, how is Haraguchi-san?

Aah..

Actually, she has some instructions.

Instructions?

I have to ride this?

Haraguchi-san said you had to, no matter what. Well, you know, she's a bit weird.

- Ride for one person, please. - Okay.

- Huh? - It's okay, it's okay. Just go.

Have a nice ride.

Hello, Haraguchi-san?

Sorry to bother you, Hijiri-chan. There's something I want to consult you.

Consult?

Hey~

Can you see me?

Ah.

Here, here.

- What do you want to consult about? - It's about Kawai.

When you finish one round and reach the ground again, can you tell this to Kawai?

It's not that I'm an eccentric woman or so.

I'm just being thoughtful to see how deeply in love you are...

...so once in a while, I'd like to interfere a little bit.

- Huh? - Well...

...I was asked for help, so I came up with this idea.

Here.

Sensei.

Kuroiwa-kun.

Sensei.

I'm no longer your teacher.

Hijiri-chan.

For the last time...

...I want to see you, tell you, no matter what.

But when we finally see each other like this...

...I don't really know what to say.

My mind got kinda blank.

Until now...

...I always wanted to be happy with having Hijiri-chan around...

...and I couldn't think about anything but myself.

But now...

...I want you to be happy, Hijiri-chan.

That's why, I won't see you anymore.

I won't contact you anymore.

But I will always wish...

...for your happiness.

Kuroiwa-kun.

Hmm?

I...

...am going to leave Japan.

Huh?

I'll be working abroad.

I myself can't believe it either.

Even though I've never been on such journey before...

...now I will be all alone in a land I don't know.

You've changed me.

Kuroiwa-kun...

...you've given me strength.

The strength...

...to stand on my own after this.

I'm glad I met you.

Goodbye...

...Kuroiwa-kun.

I'm sure...

...you will be a good teacher.

Hijiri-chan.

Hmm?

GOOD LUCK!

GOOD LUCK!

GOOD LUCK!!

Thank you very much.

Boy.

Be a good man.

If it's like this, you are not meeting him, right?

You're simply going a single round in a ferris wheel.

- Thank you. - There's one more thing.

He asked me to give this...

...to you, Hijiri.

Mission completed?

- It's completed safely. - Good job, Kawai.

I've made up my mind.

Haraguchi-san, I will be... no...

...I will be by your sides, both of you.

I don't ask you for that. We've done with that...

Though we love each other, some situations are just hopeless.

But, there are still something we can do about this.

So I will hold it as much as I can, with all my strength.

That's why...

...I will stay by your side.

I will also be successful in my works.

I'll decline the overseas assignment for sure.

You're too soft! If you waste this chance, there's no way you can be successful.

But I...

As your superior, I've recommended you, you know.

I'll be waiting.

That's why, be fully established...

...and come back to me.

I will always support you no matter what.

I really hate those vocabularies of yours.

Why is it?

- You can't do it alone. - I can.

- You can't. - I can.

- Haraguchi-san, that's... - Just go to Singapore quickly!

"Sensei, that time..."

Let's have one minute silence.

"...I lost my mind..."

- Kuroiwa. - Did you hit your head?

Just don't make me feel irritated anymore.

"...that I selfishly got irritated..."

I... come to like you, Sensei.

I come to like you!

"...and excited..."

"...so much that I lost sight of what's around me and even myself."

"To that extent, Sensei..."

I don't care no matter what other people say.

I like you, Sensei.

"...I fell in love with you."

Sensei! Hijiri-chan!

Don't go, Hijiri-chan!

"Then, Hijiri-chan disappeared from my 15-years-old summer"

Hijiri-chan!

I will do my best as well.

"December 2018"

"I wish that from now on and always..."

"...Hijiri-chan will be smiling."

"Kuroiwa Akira"

Akira-kun.

- Your exam's admission ticket? - I have it.

Wait a sec. Let's do the prayer for school success.

May you succeed, may you succeed. Aloha, oi, ha!

- The blessings are overflowing. - Yeah, yeah, it is.

- I'm off. - Take care on your way.

Good luck.

Wait, Akira.

Here.

- It's okay, you don't need to. - Oh, come on.

Your dad went all the troubles to send this.

Take care.

Mom.

Thank you.

I'm off.

Good luck.

Hello.

It's me.

Now I'm going to Bangkok to teach Japanese Language there.

There...

...I will have a fresh start.

Well then, I'm off now.

Hijiri.

So you're thinking of being independent from us now.

If it's so...

...I wish you good luck.

- Okay. - But...

...if you are having hard times there...

...just come home.

I can at least cook you dinner anyway.

Thank you, Mom.

I'm off.

Please repeat after me.

'Konnichiwa'.

'Konnichiwa'.

- 'Konbanwa'. - 'Konbanwa'.

You did really well!
