"Sensei..."

"That time..."

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

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

"...and excited..."

"...so much that I..."

"...lost sight of what's around me and even myself."

"To that extent..."

"...Sensei..."

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

Would you listen to me once more?

At this rate...

He's just a junior high school student.

Sensei!

Sensei!

Sensei!

I'm sorry, Mom...

I... came to like my student.

"April 2015"

"Opening ceremony for new school term"

Let's have one minute silence.

I didn't know it.

At this day, one year ago...

...there's a school janitor who passed away...

...after getting hit by a meteorite falling from the sky.

I've heard that Koboshidaira is a town where the stars are beautiful...

...and to have everyone doing one minute silence is...

- Excuse me, Sensei. - Yes? Umm...

- Iwasaki Runa-san. - It's just a lie.

It's true that our school janitor ever collapsed at the school yard though.

- But, look. He's totally okay, isn't he? - Huh?

Then what about the story about researchers from NASA come here every year?

- That's not true. - Really?

Err, well... what about the meteor shower...

...that are said to be seen every several hundred years which can be seen this year...

- That's not true~ - By the way, those stories...

...were all made by me!

Sit down.

- Kokonoe Junichirou-kun. - Yes.

It's so imprudent of you to make such lies. You should get some counseling...

...and learn more about social skill training.

- You have to stay after school. - What? Are you serious?

Just kidding.

Kuroiwa, what are you doing?

Are you okay?

Huh? Did your head got hit?

Sensei...

...Kuroiwa is always like that.

How did you say your greeting? Somehow I remember when you're still a trainee teacher...

...among the ones I took care of, you are the most motivated one though you made some fruitless efforts sometimes.

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

How do you do? I'm Suenaga Hijiri.

- Your expression suddenly changed. - It's been 2 years since I graduated from a university in Tokyo.

As a part-time teacher, I've taught in elementary school and junior high school.

Chizuru-sensei, are you listening?

I am, I am. I think you did very well.

You abandon your love-life to choose the path of being a teacher here.

I don't abandon it. I'm in a long-distance relationship with Shotaro-san now.

Shotaro is in Osaka, while you're in Kanagawa countryside like this...

...It would be great if you followed him to Osaka, though.

Well... he never really asked me to go there anyway.

Here. Look, you've been dating for 3 years but you never talked about marriage.

Seems like this guy still wants to be popular.

But it's always been my dream.

With all unfavorable conditions I have: being young, female, unmarried...

...they still made me into a homeroom teacher...

...and I have a class to take care of.

So I'm really motivated.

- Okay then. - Cheers!

How unpleasant.

- Huh? - There are already lots of comments about you.

- Suenaga is getting caught. How clumsy. - They are all over the internet...

...like 'She's cute', or 'She isn't cute', or 'She's lame'.

Those are said over and over again.

You have to be more dignified so it won't continuously happen...

- Yes. - Nowadays, depopulation becomes a serious issue.

Do you know that? Because of the declining birth rate...

...there are around 500 junior high school being closed every year.

As a teacher...

...you should protect the school's reputation with all your strength.

Yes, Ma'am.

Suenaga-sensei, what do you think about the 3rd-year students?

- Everyone is really reliable. - That's just what appears in the outside!

About the school account...

...you can login here, then you can do various things like ordering lunch or having conversation with students' parents.

- Thank you very much. - Well, properly speaking...

...I was wondering how it would turn out...

...to have a newbie teacher like Suenaga-sensei suddenly in charge of 3rd year students.

The former teacher is having her maternity leave anyway.

- But I have high hopes on you. - Oh, dear~

The essay Suenaga-sensei wrote...

...was really full of enthusiasm. She wrote it wholeheartedly.

- Moreover, you seem to be strong. - Sorry?

Do your best.

During the moment of silence, she closed her eyes too much.

She's kinda sly, isn't she?

You're right. She pretended to not use any make-up, but she still did something with her eyelashes.

But she's popular among boys, right?

- What? - Hijiri-chan. Isn't she cute?

Nope, not at all.

What a complete denial!

- As expected from Kuroiwa. - He's such a perfect model of today's apathetic, indifferent generation.

Come on, let's go.

- Goodbye. - I'm going first.

Have a good day.

"Do you have time to talk tonight?"

- You. Next week. Business trip. - Huh?

She's our new leader, Haraguchi-san, who came from New York branch office.

She's such a hardworking career woman. If you ever make her mad, you'll be doomed.

It's like the new-era of absolute monarchy.

- Kasuya-sensei. - Yeah, I'm coming.

I'm going to buy a meal.

I'm going out for a while.

Kuroiwa-kun.

Huh?

Ah, how annoying.

Hey, Akira.

Wait a sec, my cute son.

Let me correct it, my not-cute son.

- Stop that. - So you don't eat your curry?

If you continue to act like this, starting from tomorrow...

I've told you I don't need that! I've said that so many times!

What's with that opposing attitude?

Starting from tomorrow, I'll cook even more complicated meal!

Like rolled up something minced, or something with shells...

With lots of times and efforts to create, it will be a meal full of love.

- I make it everyday but you always throw it away. - Aah, shut up, shut up, shut up!

If you continue to make me sad like this, you'll shorten my life span, you know.

- Aah, aah! - Aah, what am I saying, ah, I'm this, I'm that!

I'll eat it then.

How nice it is for him. He's still in the middle of puberty.

Hey, Joffe, are you saying that it's okay to let him be like that just because he's in puberty?

He's just in his rebellious phase.

That boy with rounded and cute eyes...

...has now grown into a fully established boy in his rebellious age.

It's so wonderful of you to raise himself by yourself, you know.

As expected from you, Boss!

And thank you for the meal.

I wonder if it's okay with him at school~

I want to consult about it though, but his homeroom teacher now is a young female teacher.

According to the information I heard from other mothers, she's still kinda immature.

A young lady like matryoshka. *Note: A matryoshka doll is a Russian nesting doll.

We met yesterday, right?

Seems like you bought some boxed meal. Is your mother very busy with her job?

Do you often eat your meal alone?

If you have any problem, you can consult me anytime.

I want to be your strength, Kuroiwa-kun.

I've been wondering since yesterday...

...apparently you have such a beautiful face, Kuroiwa-kun.

Just stop this, I beg you!

Just don't make me feel irritated anymore.

Why did he hit me just now?

Did I say anything wrong?

Why?

Chugakusei Nikki

English subtitle by: aoihachi

"Osaka"

At any rate, I have to speak up.

When my students say something to me, I have to give them a good reply.

By keeping up doing that, somehow I can get through it.

And though I just learned it as a child...

...they even made me into the adviser for swimming club.

- So that's how the things going. - Yeah. It's quite hectic everyday...

...but all the students are nice.

What's wrong, Hijiri?

- I'll do my best. - Yeah.

By the way...

...are you free this weekend?

My senior Yamamoto is moving to London.

So you have a farewell party to attend?

By chance, I'm going to Tokyo for a business trip next week, so I guess I'll attend that.

- Kawai. - Yes?

If you're just pretending to work, just go home.

- What? - We're going to have the meeting an hour earlier, by the way.

- Sorry, I'll contact you later. - Okay.

I'm really sorry. I just had a bit of free time.

I've told you, it's okay for you to go home.

Doing this or that with your girlfriend at home. Want to meet her but you can't, and thus it hurts...

- It's okay to feel like that. - Is it from some songs' lyrics?

Am I being removed from the team just now?

Today's web conference is important.

- It will be great if we can make a deal. - I'm Haraguchi from construction...

I'm Haraguchi from construction industry division...

I'm here to talk about port construction project in India...

Hey, what's this? Her voice sounds trembling, is she joking?

- Ah, she's always like that, actually. - Always!?

Her nickname is "Haraguchi The Trembling Voice".

Even so, she never fails, and she always has the last laugh.

Amusement park? Hahaha~

And by the way, I also heard a rumor saying that she's our director's mistress.

- Huh? - If you'll ever go against her, you'll be banished.

Yamamoto-kun.

Mahiro-san?

Kuroiwa-kun.

Parent and child meeting? Wait, it will be on this week?

Why don't you give this to me sooner?

By the way...

...is there anything from school...

Huh? What?

Wait. Hey, Akira, wait.

About your rebellious act lately, I will consult it with your teacher.

"As his father..."

"I want to meet Akira"

"For parents"

"Please be careful with that"

"Suenaga Hijiri"

Maruoka-san.

To see it from this point of view, don't you think it looks like some mysterious code?

About how I slapped her that day...

...seems like Hijiri-chan didn't tell anyone. I wonder why?

This is the poem from Chinese Poet, Du Fu. It's on page the textbook page 23.

It was created around 1250 years ago.

But even so, when we read this now...

...a scenery will appear so clearly like a photograph.

Let's try to have a personal experience about it.

"What color is Hijiri-chan's bra?"

How stupid!

"Delighting in a spring night rain."

"It begins to fall on a spring night, delighting in a gentle blessed rain."

"A good rain knows its season."

- Now it's time to announce the result. - "When spring arrives, it falls."

"It starts to rain when spring comes."

"It follows the wind, and secretly..."

Are you okay?

Take out your mobile phones right now!

All of you.

Quickly.

Everyone was playing around with this.

I didn't realize it...

But actually, there's nothing interesting about that, right?

Mine is just a cheap one I bought online, and it's beige...

I don't care about that at all!

First, you have to instruct them to turn their phones off while in class.

Then, about your blouse.

It's too feminine.

And please don't use any hair-styling product or shampoo which is too fragrant.

The length of your skirt and your shoes too.

Please don't wear those with heels.

You should do as I advise.

You should be extremely careful so people will never say unpleasant things about you.

I'm really sorry.

I wonder why it's Suenaga who got scolded in the end.

That woman told on me.

I don't know how, but she found out when I went to karaoke before.

So she sent my parents e-mail, saying things like, "Please be careful not to let her hang out at night."

- It happens to Kokonoe too, right? - Oh, yeah.

It's about me wandering aimlessly around the second grade classes.

- But you really did that. You're aiming for Juri-chan. - It's because I like her.

I just want to see her face. It's simply a love-life of a boy.

She also said about what I should and shouldn't do in break time.

- She went that far? - Suenaga is really annoying!

- But since she's cute, I forgive her. - You shouldn't.

But why did she secretly inform our parents like that?

Some parents are worried to have a young female teacher like her...

...suddenly in charge for a 3rd year class. So she tried to earn respect by doing that?

- She's the worst. - But she's cute so it's okay.

She isn't cute.

"Parent and child meeting"

Sorry for making you wait.

I just received a call from your mother. She'll be a bit late because of her work.

As for now, let's start without her.

By the way, about what Kokonoe-kun did before...

...you did that to stop him, right?

Thank you.

Kuroiwa-kun, you wrote nothing on your future aspiration form...

...don't you have any dream?

As for me, since I was a child, it's always been my dream to be a teacher.

That's why now, I'm really satisfied.

It's important to have a dream.

So, Kuroiwa-kun, if you have something you're interested in...

- ...you can just tell me... - But...

...you're totally unsuitable to be a teacher, Sensei.

Huh?

Why don't you tell anyone that I slapped you?

Normally, I would get suspended, right?

Do you think I would get back at you? Or...

It's not like that. I still don't know much about you.

Is it fun for you to pretend being a teacher like this?

It's fun.

Going to the classroom everyday, saying 'Good morning' to everyone...

Even greetings like that already make me happy.

The school meal is delicious...

...and the students are cute that I like them all.

Then, what do you like about me?

Then, what do you like about me?

Suenaga-sensei, there's a call from Kuroiwa-kun's mother.

- She can't make it here today. - Oh, I see.

Thank you.

You've came all the way here. Please take a look at this.

I got a massive order from my acquaintance's restaurant...

...but as I checked the goods in hurry, it became like this.

- Please take care of this, Joffe. - Okay.

- Joffe? - Hello, I'm Jofu.

Since people often ask me to repeat my name, I'd like to pronounce it like foreigners, Joffe.

I'm sorry. It's about Akira, right?

Yes, well... in his future aspiration form, he didn't...

I've tried to talk about that with him, but recently...

...he's being really cheeky that I want to knock him down.

- Ah, I'll make you tea. - Thank you.

By the way, Sensei, recently you sent us some e-mails, right?

- Huh? - Here.

I heard it from other mothers.

The information about students' wrongdoing.

You've been secretly revealing them, please do that about my son as well.

So that's why the students were like building a wall from me...

- Huh? - Actually...

...I lost the password given to me before, so I'm currently requesting for a new one.

Then who sent those e-mails?

I'll check it when I go back later.

I'm really sorry.

Suenaga-sensei.

Please be tough on my stupid son.

He's in such rebellious age now and he might cause you a lot of troubles...

...but I think he's basically not a bad boy.

Okay, I understand. Thank you for letting me know.

Kuroiwa-kun.

I wonder, who willfully sent those emails...

...using your account?

Here, I've banned that account.

After this, you have to send e-mails explaining about what actually happened to the parents.

Yes, I will immediately do so. Thank you for all your help.

- Goodbye then. Thank you for your good work. - Thank you for your work.

- Hijiri? - You know, now...

Will you come with me on tomorrow's farewell party?

Aah... I want to go, but I have some works to do...

I'd be happy if you can.

I have something to talk with you.

Something to talk about? How was his tone when he said that?

Like, "I have something to talk about".

Or "I've got something to talk about, you know".

Or "We have to talk!". There could be many kinds of it.

- "I have something to talk about". - To use that kind of tone, isn't it pretty bad?

- So you think like that too? - Yeah. How long have you been unable to meet each other?

It's been 3 weeks. During those times, we talked just...

...twice.

If he says it's the end, it's the end then.

You're right...

But I think at least, you've gone through wonderful time with him.

It's not something anyone can experience.

You'll be fine. Trust me.

Thank you very much...

Ah, I wanted this one.

Next time, I have a plan to go camping with my colleagues in Osaka.

I'm in charge of managing it.

Well, you're also good in cooking anyway, Shotaro-san.

Searching for tools like this somehow reminds me...

...of the time when we went together before.

It was... really fun, wasn't it?

The tent we erected with lots of efforts were knocked down, and our chopsticks fell down into the river too.

Aah, I remember that happened.

That's why it makes me think that...

...I'd like to buy it for you as well.

Like this one? I wonder what color should I pick for you...

If we make a family later, how many people will it be? 3 people?

No, no, perhaps 4 people...

Well, that's why...

Umm...

Huh, what?

What is it?

That's why I think I should give this to you soon.

- What?! - Sorry, there are lots of things going on...

...so I was kinda... I didn't really have time to properly choose.

But as for now, here.

- I thought you wanted to end this. - Huh?

I think we'll be separated just like this. About the camping too...

...the fact that you remembered how I dropped my chopsticks in the river...

...I thought it made you tired of me.

Huh? Why do you think so?

- Why, I wonder... - Hmm?

Why is it, I wonder...

Because we're having long-distance relationship now.

Yeah, maybe that's why.

Whoa, it's scary.

Please...

...marry me.

- Have you prepared yourself? - What is it, so suddenly?

Tonight, we'll drink alcohol for the first time.

You should come too, come on, quickly!

- What's with you, come on! - Drinking alcohol, what do you mean?

Well, we will drink it like this. Come on, quickly.

It's dangerous, it's dangerous! Whoa, whoa!

They really come! What are they doing?

- Hey! - What is it? You told us to bring snacks.

You got rejected, right? Just don't fret over that all the time.

What's that? You should comfort me a bit! I'm brokenhearted now, you know.

You go up from there?!

Hey, shaved head!

Aah, yeah. Let's go.

You'll get married?! Whoaa~!

Oh, congratulations!

Let's cheers, let's cheers.

It's for real? How great.

So a day like this finally comes~

- I'll drive you home later. - Thanks.

Ah.

Kawai, you were in the middle of working...

...and it was before an important meeting when I saw you carelessly speaking with a girl.

I was wondering if something went wrong with your brain system, but apparently it's your girlfriend you're going to marry.

- Wow. - I'm Suenaga Hijiri.

- Hijiri-chan. - Yes.

- You're in long-distance relationship now? - Well...

But I'm thinking about bringing her along to Osaka.

Even if she wants to continue teaching, I'm sure she can find good schools too in Osaka.

We'll discuss about that from now.

Ah, actually, our main office is really near from here.

I see.

Are you alone today?

- I'm on a date. - Huh?

Ah, there he comes.

- Could it be, the president... - President?

Tequila.

Certainly.

- Please wait. - Shotaro, our senior calls you.

Huh? Ah...

Hijiri-chan.

Here, for you.

To celebrate your marriage.

Thank you very much.

Marrying Kawai at this state, are you really okay with that?

Living accordingly to his request, giving up on your current job...

...then making an averagely happy family in Osaka. Is that what you really want?

I'll think about that from now.

In spite of that...

...you still continue your long-distance relationship.

There is possibility you came to like someone else closer to you, right?

That's impossible.

You should never declare things like that.

Even though you think it's totally impossible, you like him anyway.

It's out of public's common sense.

Everyone around you is against it.

But even so, you still continue...

...even though you're stumbling down.

To have that kind of experience is the best, you know.

Hijiri.

Do you like Kawai?

Of course.

Are you happy with him?

- Yes. - You lie.

Neither of what you said is true.

Huh?

There's an old saying.

"Love kills happiness, and happiness kills love."

What does it mean?

It means that love and happiness can't stand together.

Is this really where the meteorite fell down before?

If it really is, it must be a huge meteorite.

Runa-chi, we've got this too!

- Let's do it later. - Okay!

Fireworks, fireworks, fireworks.

Goodbye, Juri-chan.

Here it is, here it is.

Pavlov's dog.

He's always drooling when he saw Juri-chan.

That lone-wolf Kuroiwa-kun too.

You always look at Suenaga.

- Really? - Don't say such irresponsible thing like that.

I understand that, you know.

I always look at Kuroiwa-kun too, so I understand that.

- Did you just... - Runa-chi?

Ah, fire!

- Oh, no! - Oh my God!

What are you doing!?

What should we do!?

As for now, let's get away from here!

What? Hey! What are you doing!?

Kuroiwa, it's enough!

Hey, it's enough! You can get burnt!

"Shioya-sensei"

- Sorry, I have to go. - Now?

My students involved in a fire incident and they are in hospital now.

- Huh? - I have to go.

I'll drive you there.

Shioya-sensei.

How is Kuroiwa-kun?

- She doesn't pick up. - Any e-mails?

None.

- You finally come. - I sincerely apologize.

- I'm so sorry. - It's okay.

- This way. - Okay.

I'm so sorry, I can't come right away.

- I have something to take care of. - It's okay.

We also feel like we have to apologize to you instead...

- It's okay... - Sorry.

- Thank God, they are safe. - Shioya-sensei.

Shioya-sensei.

It was a blessing in disguise.

Even though he tried to put out the fire before, Kuroiwa-kun just got slightly injured.

What's important is that it doesn't turn out to be something serious. The police officers also seems to overlook it.

They only got stern warning.

- Thank you very much. - We're very sorry about that.

- You fool! You dragged everyone into troubles! - Sorry...

- Ah, wait, Ma'am, stop it! - Kokonoe-san.

I think everyone is already tired, so let's meet again tomorrow at school.

- Thank God everyone is safe. - Thank you very much.

Look...

I sincerely apologize for all the troubles.

- I have some personal matter in Tokyo... - Well, it's all over now.

See you tomorrow.

Ah, how dazzling...

Shotaro-san.

- Hey. - Hey.

Excuse me, Sensei?

Could it be, this person here is...

- Yes. - So you're going to get married?

- Yes. - Oh, I see.

To cause you such troubles in times like this...

...and even drag your fiance along...

Akira, you should properly apologize!

- Akira! - Well, it's okay, today...

You actually don't care, right?

- Huh? - Rather than caring about what happened to us...

...you cared more about how you looked in front of parents and other teachers.

- I don't intend to... - Hey, Akira.

If you're doing this just as a filler before you get married...

...what about quitting your job as a teacher right now?

What's with that attitude!

You hear me? If you ever say anything rude to her again...

...I will not forgive you! I surely won't!

- It's okay. - I won't forgive you!

It's okay, really.

Get on the car.

Kuroiwa-kun, see you again at school.

What's wrong?

This essay...

...I made this when I started my new job here.

I wanted to be a reliable teacher...

...who can understand the students' troubles and worries...

...and hold them close together...

...but in reality, I'm totally good for nothing.

What happened?

Just like what that boy said...

...I just pretend to be a teacher.

Come with me to Osaka, will you?

If I'm right by your side, I can immediately listen to your troubles.

You can consult anything with me.

Let's live together.

Your father left home...

...then it became only you and I.

But it's okay, since I have confidence that I can do it.

Because you are me...

...you are a part of me.

What you think...

...or how you feel...

...I can understand it all because we're connected.

But as for now...

...no matter how hard I think, I can't understand.

I can't understand you, Akira.

There's no way you'll understand.

Something feels strange recently...

...and I myself can't even understand it.

Thank you for the meal.

As a teacher, it's indeed important to have some days off.

So it can't be helped if you couldn't come right away...

...during emergency situations.

There's no further problem because in replace...

...Irie-sensei and I could handle it. However...

...if I were you...

... I wouldn't lose my password as a teaching staff so soon after I was assigned to work here.

In weekends, I wouldn't go anywhere far from the school area.

I wouldn't drink alcohol and moreover, coming in rush with a car driven by your lover?

I wouldn't ever do something so thoughtless like that.

If you want to know why...

...it's because the students are watching.

You will lose your reputation.

I understand. I'm very sorry.

Well, perhaps for today's generation...

...I'm just a problematic elder from Showa era. *Note: Showa period: the period from 1926-1989.

There's no such things like that.

But I have my own belief.

Teacher is a sacred profession.

To always guide students in the right way...

...is what being a teacher is about.

No matter how much you pour your attention on them, it won't be enough.

Junior high school students are insecure.

Ah, crap!

Seems like you can go to school tomorrow.

If it's so, you have to surely apologize to your teacher.

Are you listening?

- Hey, wait! Why do you... - This is from Dad.

Just give it back!

Come on, you won't understand!

We have our own circumstances...

You're still a child...

...so there's no way you can understand.

Just stop treating me like a child!

- Good afternoon. - Sensei...

Today Kuroiwa-kun was absent, so I'm here to see how he's doing.

Well, that's...

- Sorry, did you see Kuroiwa-kun? - Kuroiwa...

No matter how much you pour your attention on them, it won't be enough.

Junior high school students are insecure.

Kuroiwa-kun!

Kawai.

- Haraguchi-san!? Why are you here? - Let's cook something.

- Huh? - Sometimes I want to just relax at home.

Well, home-made cooking is a bit...

My home is still in a mess. I have to tidy up.

You started tidying up already? Mine is still full of card-boards.

- Huh? - Push it.

Could it be that... you live here too?

Well, it's according to the corporate contract.

Nice to meet you, neighbor.

What?

Haraguchi-san, you're really hard to identify.

Really?

You're such a capable female higher-up but unexpectedly...

I'm the president's mistress?

Unexpectedly you have a girlfriend.

I'm bisexual. More or less. Just saying.

Somehow the more we talk, the more I discover about you.

You're like a leek.

How is your girlfriend? She's good?

Yeah, she is.

Kuroiwa-kun!

What are you doing?

Why are you here?

- Mayugahama. - Huh?

I'm going to Mayugahama Beach.

It's more than 20 km from here, right?

I think I might be able to get there if I work hard.

It's just a half of full-marathon anyway.

Your mother is worried, you know.

I'll drive you home. Please get on my car.

Yes, I just met him. Okay, I'm hanging up.

Wait a sec, I guess I have something to dry you...

To say something out of the blue like going to the beach...

...I guess you're really a boy.

You make me surprised all the time...

...and you are also too unexpected...

...somehow I can't understand.

"Delighting in a spring night rain."

"A good rain knows its season."

"When spring arrives, it falls."

A good rain...

...chooses the right time to fall and so it falls.

When it comes to spring, the rain is certainly falling.

"It follows the wind..."

"...and secretly enters the night."

While the wind is blowing, the rain continues to fall until night.

"And moistens everything softly, without any sound."

Silently, almost making no sounds at all...

...it makes everything wet.

It's true... Just like what you said, Sensei.

I feel like I can see the scenery.

Actually...

...I really like this Chinese poem.

The rain and wind I feel...

...the scenery I see...

...I always wanted to convey them to someone else.

Thank you.

Sensei...

...you won't give up, will you?

As expected, it's too early for me to be a homeroom teacher.

But... isn't it too late?

Put on your seatbelt.

- Yes. - Hijiri?

Sorry, I just found my student who were hanging out...

...so I'm in the middle of driving him back home...

What's that? As expected, you properly do your job as a teacher, right?

I'll contact you later.

Let's go home...

...Kuroiwa-kun?

Child.

Student...

So he's at home already?

I see. Thank God he safely went home.

Yes. Okay, I'm hanging up.

Won't you tell Akira-kun about that thing?

I won't.

There's no way I can tell him about that.

"Rumours in Koboshi Junior High"

"Hijiri-chan will get married next year"

"Sly"

"Tale-telling demon"

"Her fiance works in a major trading complany"

"What a Cinderella"

"Annoying"

"Just quit from the school!"

- Hijiri-chan, don't go~ - To tell on everyone secretly like that, she's the worst.

Good morning.

- Shut up! - She's coming, she's coming!

- Good morning. - Good morning.

She's coming! I'm telling you, Sensei is coming!

Good morning~

Well, I didn't do anything anyway.

"Congratulations on your marriage"

Sensei, it's better if you quit, you know.

- Hey, pay attention. - She doesn't suit as a teacher at all.

Sensei, bye bye.

I'm not quitting.

I'm not going to quit.

Certainly, it can't be helped if you all underestimate me.

With my outward appearance, and also my lacking of experience and competence...

...even I start to hate myself.

It's true that I have a fiance.

Let me be frank. He's a very wonderful person.

So wonderful that I feel like he's too good for me...

...and my friends even said things like...

..."Are you using hypnotism on him?".

However...

...I left that person behind to come here.

Because I want to see you all, I come here.

That's why...

...I will continue to be by your side.

Someday I will certainly be...

...a teacher you can rely on!

Let's begin the lesson. Open your textbook...

So in the end your girlfriend...

She said she wanted to do her best in her current school for the time being.

She wants to continue being a teacher like the way she is. Excuse me.

So she can actually do it. She might seem ordinary...

...but she's not as ordinary as you think she is.

Though it doesn't seem like she will do whatever she wants when you are not together...

- ...surprisingly she's like that. - Huh?

- Will you drop by? - What?

What food do I have? I have some pickles soaked in rice vinegar and brown sugar.

Umm... are you inviting me?

I just get hungry.

So what will you do? Wanna come?

Kuroiwa-kun, good morning. Here.

You forgot this.

About your future aspiration form...

...please submit it soon.

Sensei!

Sensei...

I...

...I come to like you, Sensei.

I come to like you!

What I should do now...

...I don't understand at all.
