Original subtitles

3 years ago, I was supposed to get married.

However, I fell in love with someone else...

...and it was him.

He was a student.

I'm the only one who remains like that time...

...and can't move on yet.

Just forget her. I'll make you forget her.

You're moving on.

Suenaga-sensei, you are moving on properly.

Slowly, one step at a time...

...you are moving forward.

If it's because you still can't forget Hijiri-chan...

...and then you come to me...

...that's not how I want you to treat me.

I don't want to be like that again.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Chizuru-sensei, your mouth.

- Your mouth is... - Ah, yeah.

Then in other words, Nogami-sensei knows everything about you...

...then he hugged you and said, 'It's okay'.

I know I can't let myself be spoiled by such words.

But I'm relieved.

I was wondering if it's okay for me...

...to stay here this way.

I'm relieved too.

It's been 3 years since I heard about your love story, Hijiri.

It's good, right? You two are good match.

No, no, no, that's...

Because since that, Nogami-sensei is being extremely ordinary.

We went to eat tempura near the station once though...

Then, about your relationship, I will...

No, no, no, it's okay, really.

What do you think I'm gonna say?

Listen, Hijiri. Since your next partner will likely be the one you'll marry...

...when you think it's going well, just go and prepare yourself for the worst.

You should ask him out. Come on, be aggressive and ask him out.

Don't run or you'll fall down. Good morning.

Ah! Ouch...

Hey, you!

Tachibana-san?

- Tachibana-san? - Tachibana-san, are you okay?

- Are you alright? - Are you okay?

Tachibana-san, does your stomach hurt?

Nogami-kun, go to the infirmary and call the teacher.

Tachibana-san, let me take your bag, okay?

"School Infirmary"

- New type of malnutrition? - And because of that, she got anemia.

There are many cases like that recently.

Even though they get sufficient calories, they still suffer from malnutrition.

- What about her mother? - She's working all the time during weekends.

That's a lie. I'm sure it's because of some men again.

She didn't pick up. I was directed to answering machine.

There's a rumor that she's in bad mood after she broke up with her lover.

There are some women who just can't be satisfied with herself...

...people who don't lead steady life.

It's worrying, isn't it?

The children should be our priority, right?

Anyway, today I'll stay here...

...and wait until her mother comes to pick her up.

- Please do so. - I will accompany you.

- Well, okay then. - Okay.

Excuse me~

What are you reading?

May I take a look too?

It's been 3 years since that time, right?

I desperately separated him from that person...

...and turned him back into an ordinary boy.

Thanks to that, he hates me now. Even though I've tried to approach him...

Once you go, you can't go back anymore.

I'm back...

Ah, Boss, you're looking at it again.

It's not good for you to worry too much about that.

Aiko-san, let's take a deep breath. Breathe in...

What will happen if Akira knows about this?

Breathe out...

He finally calms down now, but what if he's back like before...

...and he lost his mind again...

It would be something which can't be undone...

Akira-kun doesn't know about this. I won't tell him, for sure.

I'm going to meet Shioya-sensei.

Do you mean Shioya-sensei from his junior high?

I'll ask if the school knows anything about this.

Sorry for coming here suddenly. I can't contact you often...

...because lately I'm busy with my part-time job.

Do you really need to take part-time job?

I want to become independent as much as possible.

What part-time job are you doing now?

Bread factory.

You know... putting a stamp of the brand 'Tsubu' on the freshly baked sweet rolls.

'Tsubu'? Sounds weird.

You laugh too much.

I want to hold hands.

I'm sorry about that time.

In the end, we couldn't do it.

That time, I wasn't really prepared mentally...

We almost got the momentum, but I was wondering what you were thinking...

What you think of me... I didn't know that yet, so...

...that's why...

This is bad.

I'm addicted to this.

Is it okay?

Is it okay for us to start dating?

If her mother doesn't come to pick her up...

...Ayano-chan can stay at my place for today.

That's really helpful.

I'm really glad to have you here, Suenaga-sensei.

No, it's my line instead. If I had to do this alone...

- ...I think I would be troubled. - No.

I'm glad to have you as the homeroom teacher, Nogami-sensei.

No...

Ah, well...

Um...

Come to think of it, we haven't properly...

About the matter before...

If...

If you don't mind...

Well, I guess this isn't the right timing...

But I guess, we don't get much chance to really talk about that.

Well...

I'm sorry for coming this late.

I couldn't leave my work.

The cashier didn't come today, so...

I phoned your workplace before.

The shop manager told me that you took day-off today.

Well, actually I was a bit sick...

...so I was resting at home.

I've discussed this with Nogami-sensei.

If things like this happen again in the future...

...we will contact your parents...

My parents?

We are worried if something bad would happen to Ayano-chan.

In times like that, if her grandpa and grandma could come to help...

Please don't do that.

I've cut my family ties with my parents.

Other than about renting the house, we don't keep in touch at all.

We're in a state of breaking off our ties.

Could it be that... you've already contacted them...

No, we haven't done it yet today.

- However, if... - If you do things as you please like that...

...I will expose your secret, Sensei.

You have it, right?

Something you don't want other people to know.

What are you talking about?

I know about that, you know.

Mom.

Ayano, sorry for being late.

Tachibana-san, you really made us worried.

- I'm really sorry, Sensei. - Well, we are okay, but...

...I think your daughter felt really lonely because of this.

There are some issues with her health condition too.

Ma'am, I think you should rely more on your parents...

No, I promise I won't let something worrying like this happen again.

So please don't involve those people. I beg you.

- But... - If you involve my parents...

...they will take Ayano away from me.

Even though I'm such a hopeless mother, Ayano is really important for me.

You can at least understand this, right?

Suenaga-sensei.

Well, for today...

...since Ayano-chan is already tired...

...I think it's better for you to take her home.

Okay, I understand.

But if something like this happen again in the future...

...we will surely contact your parents.

Let's go home, Ayano.

Chugakusei Nikki

English subtitle by: aoihachi

- Thanks, Akira-kun. - It's okay. I'm off now.

Take care.

Kokonoe.

Long time no see, baseball boy.

I've told you, Joffe-san, this shaved head is just a hobby for me. A hobby.

What's wrong?

With Iwasaki?

We're dating now. Why?

What's that? You come here just to to ask about that?

Do you like Iwasaki?

Yeah.

We are no longer middle schooler now, so to like someone can mean various things.

In your case, what kind of 'like' is it?

I don't have to see the scary side of me.

Why now?

Kuroiwa's mom found out about that.

Really?

When she talked with the teachers in our school about that...

...Ebihara-kun's little brother happened to hear that.

- Have you told Kuroiwa about this? - Nope, I haven't.

Though I didn't tell him...

...I'm honestly wavering about that.

But before that, I think I have to talk with you first, Iwasaki.

No way... don't come back to this matter again.

It's already too late now, isn't it?

I think we have to keep it as a secret from him.

If Kuroiwa meets her, it would be the end.

Because he would abruptly get his feelings back for her.

Really?

That's why I've told you, right? You should just give up on him.

But to keep it a secret from him, isn't it unfair?

Perhaps he would unexpectedly say 'Ah, really?' and nothing else.

Because you know, I'm a high school girl with real blood and flesh, right?

Do you think I will be defeated by a ghost of 30-something years old female teacher?

You better be careful about that. Because for guys, even though we don't like someone...

...we still can be friendly to her.

I want to compete with her fair and square.

Then...

...what about you telling him, Runa-chi?

Don't let him do whatever he wants. You're his girlfriend anyway.

I'm going to the toilet.

What's wrong, Yuu-chan?

There's a teacher called Suenaga before...

...and there were rumors about her meddling with her student.

We found her~

Well, so today, we will make flowers for the upcoming recital.

You two over there, please listen to what your teacher says.

Hey~

Come on, stop playing around.

Sit down, will you?

- Both of you, sit down. - Yeah, sit down.

Okay. We will make flowers like this.

Hijiri-sensei, you are so good at it!

Each of you, please make 3 of these.

- What's that? - A starfish?

A broken empty can?

No matter how you look at it, they're flowers, right?

Clum~sy, clum~sy, clum~sy, clum~sy~

Sit down, sit down, come on.

Okay, okay, my bad.

"Tokyo"

How is your written report about the boarding house renovation project?

Well, it's almost done.

Um... right now...

...I think I understand how women feel when they want confirmation...

...like 'What's actually going on between us?'

Huh?

I'm... sorry.

Ah, seriously...

Excuse me, I'd like to go to Roppongi street...

Where are you going?

I'm going home to cool myself down...

In Mongolia, there's a saying, 'Strike while the iron is hot', right?

- Well, we also say that in Japanese... - My clothes. It's wrinkled.

Lend me something I can wear at your place later.

Okay.

- Are you free tonight? - Why?

I'll lend you my clothes again.

The T-shirts you wore at home were lame.

Well, they are. I don't understand fashion anyway.

Your suits too. Take it off sometimes.

But it will make me look unreliable. Cost performance is important anyway.

But... that's what I like about you.

Glad to hear that.

Well, for your report, put also the on-site pictures.

Okay.

The digital camera...

"In the digital camera I returned to you before, seems like I left behind some important data about my work."

Is it from your boyfriend?

Good afternoon.

Tachibana-san, did you go shopping?

Even without you worrying about that, I properly cook for her.

Glad to hear that.

I really hate it.

Since this is such a small town, people always look for something to be rumored.

Even though I was just out for shopping, everyone was staring at me...

It makes me feel suffocated.

But, Sensei...

...please be my ally, will you?

Let's go, Ayano.

Suenaga-sensei.

On the recital day, after the drama ends, the students' names will be displayed on the screen.

I'll take some photos during the rehearsal then.

Ah, you're right. Let's broadcast it too later.

Okay.

I'm sorry that you have to accompany me home.

Ah, it's okay, well... I'm going this way too anyway.

Well...

About before...

Ah, stink bug, stink bug.

Is it really a stink bug?

Yeah, it stinks, ah...

Ah, my bad!

How stink!

It stinks~

Sorry, um... let's talk again later.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Good night.

Good night.

How stink...

Let's go there.

Does my hair look messy?

No.

Your feet. Seems like they hurt.

Does it hurt?

I'm okay. Let's go.

Wait a sec.

Then, what about you telling him, Runa-chi?

Don't let him do whatever he wants. You're his girlfriend anyway.

Here.

Thank you.

Ah, I'll pay...

You don't need to. My treat.

Thank you.

Yes?

It's me, Yuu.

Don't you want to know where Suenaga is now?

Huh?

As expected, you don't know yet. Everyone knows about it though.

Well, the other day, I happened to hear Runa and friends whispering about...

...whether they should tell you about this or not.

Poor Kuroiwa. Seems like they block you from the info.

By the way, Suenaga is still teaching.

I'll send you the pictures later. See you, bye bye.

What's the matter?

About this... I thought I would tell you today.

But somehow...

...I don't get a chance to do it.

Kuroiwa?

"I'm arriving soon. Please prepare the digital camera."

Digital camera, digital camera...

Ah, at school?

Kuroiwa-kun?

It's really you, Kuroiwa-kun.

Do you remember me?

I guess you don't.

You are Sensei's...

Are you here to meet Hijiri? I'm also here for...

You've become like this in three years... wow.

Hey, are you going home?

Well, it's not that I was told to come here anyway.

Then what are you here for?

I just heard that Sensei is now here...

...so I came here right away.

Can you just leave Hijiri alone?

Because...

...I'll be there for her.

I see.

You're right.

Seems like I misunderstand lots of things.

I'm going home.

Ah, I found it.

Tachibana-san.

What's the matter?

Where's your mother?

Hey.

What kind of spaghetti do you like?

I'm sorry, this might not be the carbonara you like, Tachibana-san...

...but I've made this frequently: simple but delicious mushroom pasta.

Here you go.

Here.

Let's eat.

It's delicious.

Really?

"Tachibana-sama, Sorry for leaving a memo so suddenly. I found Ayano-chan sitting alone in front of the house, so I took her to my place. If you read this memo, please contact me."

"Suenaga"

Who is that girl?

She is my student.

She went to the library alone before, but when she came back home, her mother was going out.

So she couldn't get into her house.

It's really tough to be a teacher, isn't it?

Here.

Ah, yeah.

Ah, it's really here.

Ah, this helps me a lot. Thanks.

I just heard that Sensei is now here, so I came here right away.

By the way...

...I'm going back to work now.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

See you, Hijiri.

Sensei, so you have such boyfriend.

A wonderful metropolitan guy.

Why do you keep it as a secret?

He's just an old acquaintance of mine. More importantly, Ayano-chan...

She forgot to bring her keys.

But I'm really worried about her. If this continues...

We merely missed each other. Please don't make it sound like a big deal.

You also don't want people to tell you unnecessary things, right?

Mom.

Ah, Ayano. I'm sorry I was late.

Sorry, were you okay? I'm sorry I was late. Let's go.

Wanna eat something, Ayano?

Let me cook something for you later.

"Tokyo"

I've got the pictures. Here, please.

So you met Hijiri-chan?

Well, not just Hijiri, I met that guy too.

That guy?

So, did you meet her?

Or you didn't?

Well then...

...please just answer this.

Kuroiwa, do you like me?

Even for a little bit...

...do you like me?

Did you ever...

...like me?

Runa-chan, long time no see.

So you're now dating with Akira?

I've heard about that from my mom Sayuri.

I didn't know that.

It's a wonderful thing.

Huh?

For me, it's wonderful that Kuroiwa came when I called him...

...or that I could be together with him only...

...or that he treated me gently...

Yeah...

Even though it's because he was just being friendly to me...

Being friendly?

What are you talking about?

However...

...if once again... Suenaga is going to snatch him away...

Su... Do you mean that Suenaga?

Don't tell me... they have met each other?

It's still... grey.

What?

Grey?

In the end, seems like they didn't meet.

But once he found out her whereabouts, he flew there right away.

In a blink of eye.

It's delicious.

If you involve my parents, they will take Ayano away from me.

You also don't want people to tell you unnecessary things, right?

In brief, it's like this.

That boy went there to see Hijiri-chan and you...

He's a young guy already. No, he's almost an adult.

So you were acting as if you had married her and sent him away.

No, it's him who did as he pleased...

On top of that, you said nothing to Hijiri-chan.

I didn't have time to tell her that.

I'm going home.

Huh? Why?

Hey, wait a second.

What's wrong?

You. Since when did you start to talk casually like this?

Could it be that you're jealous?

What?

Because I went to Hijiri's place and I sent that guy away?

Do you think that I still have some feelings for Hijiri?

Don't get carried away.

I've told you, you don't need to worry...

Well, I was just...

Just?

Just what?

That time...

...when I saw him, I just thought that...

...I couldn't forgive him.

If they ever meet each other again...

...then their love will be a real deal.

Even though you might say they're destined for each other...

...I just can't forgive that.

Hijiri was at fault.

Kawai.

It's not that I don't like your real intention.

It's true that Hijiri-chan was at fault.

But it's like that, isn't it?

When you fall in love with someone, there's no right or wrong.

Whether it's a real thing, or it's a destiny, whatever it is. That's not important.

You just simply fall in love.

You are drawn to that person and there's no way out of it...

...that's what love is.

Poor Hijiri-chan.

Without knowing that he came to see her, alone in that unfamiliar town...

...she did her best as a teacher. To think about that...

...my heart hurts a little bit.

It makes me want to go there...

...and give her a hug.

Huh?

Well, that's my nature anyway.

Kawai, if we are like this...

...will it turn out well?

Akira.

Welcome home.

Akira, wait!

Hey.

It's already late, please stay here for tonight.

You've seen your room, right?

I left it just like how it was.

So you can come home anytime you want.

This is your home anyway, Akira.

"April 2015"

"May 2015"

"...Hijiri-chan was like usual..."

"...I ran after Hijiri-chan..."

"...back to Hijiri-chan's house..." "...I was such a fool..."

"August 2015"

"If only I were not 15."

"Nogami-sensei"

"Let's focus on the 2nd act for tomorrow's rehearsal"

Okay.

"Ah! I sent it by mistake! Sorry!"

"Because it looks delicious..."

"...I was about to save it."

"Sorty" Note: he misspells 'gomenasai' (sorry) as 'gomentasai'

"Sorry"

- Sensei, goodbye. - Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye. Don't run.

Goodbye.

Thank you for your hard work.

What do you mean, huh? Why do you contact them?

Even though I've told you not to do that!

- Why did you do that to Ayano?! - What happened to Ayano-chan?

She was taken away! My parents' car came just now...

- ...and they took Ayano away! - Please calm down.

- What's with this uproar? - Please stop it!

What is it?! You keep lying!

You all pretend to be my allies, but you keep lying in the end.

- We are all your allies, Tachibana-san. - I know that, you know!

- We are all your allies, Tachibana-san. - I know that, you know!

Tachibana-san?

Suenaga-sensei, you're dating Nogami-sensei, right?

I saw you two.

You expressly went to a restaurant in neighboring town to eat tempura together.

- That's a misunderstanding. - Moreover, what's with that guy yesterday?

Two-timing? You invited a salaryman to your place.

It's not like that. He's my old acquaintance.

So you're actually doing improper things like that.

Sensei, your girlfriend is doing as she pleases, you know. But even so, she still acted like a teacher.

- I've told you, it's a misunderstanding. - Nogami-sensei, she deceives you.

You're wrong! It's just me who one-sidedly...

...has feelings for Suenaga-sensei!

Huh? What's that?

Oh dear, so it's true?

She has nothing to feel guilty about.

Moreover, Suenaga-sensei didn't know anything about that.

About your daughter, the one who contacted your parents is me.

When I heard that she couldn't get into her house yesterday, I discussed it with your parents...

...and they agreed to take care of her for a while.

Grandma, Nana took it!

Though I've told you clearly that you shouldn't contact them...

That should be my line!

If I ever see you abandon your daughter again...

...I will surely contact your parents.

I didn't abandon her. To say it...

If something did happen to her, it would be too late already.

About what you should do hereafter...

...let's have a proper discussion.

You can contact us anytime.

I won't forgive this.

Ayano... if she doesn't come home to me, I...

...I won't forgive you!

What's with that way of talking? A pot calling the kettle black.

But it's good to make a move before something bad actually happens.

Ah, you're right.

Yeah. I heard that Ayano-chan is often left alone at nights.

It's our duty to protect the children.

I'll try to see her and discuss this once again later.

Apart from that, Suenaga-sensei...

...didn't she also speak like that to you before?

Yeah.

Certainly, it's tough to be rumored in such small town like this...

...but let's deal with such parent with resolution.

Next time, please discuss about it with me right away.

I understand. I'm sorry.

Okay.

Could it be... the two of them are...

Well, I wonder how it will turn out later.

I'm sorry about before.

But...

...that's my true feeling.

I hope...

...I can go out with you, Suenaga-sensei.

I understand that you might not see me that way for now...

...but after this...

...slowly, little by little...

...I hope you can have the same feeling toward me someday.

It's okay if you can't give me the reply now.

But please think about it.

Okay.

We just received a call. Ayano-chan...

...is missing.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Did you see Tachibana Ayano-chan?

Ayano-chan? I didn't.

So you didn't see her.

Tachibana!

Tachibana!

Seems like there's one person in the neighborhood who saw her.

Seems like she tried to go back to her house.

Yeah.

Ah, this is bad.

I can't contact her mother. She didn't pick up.

Tachibana-san.

Tachibana-san.

Ah, sorry, excuse me.

Did you see a girl in this height somewhere around here?

Tachibana-san.

Tachibana-san.

Tachibana-san.

Tachibana-san.

Are you okay?

Thank God. I was really worried.

Did you try to go back home?

But your mother isn't there.

I was thinking of going back to Grandma's house...

...but I didn't know the way.

And then, that Onii-chan...

Suenaga-sensei!

Thank God you found her.

Let's go, Tachibana-san.

Wait!

I'll take care of her.

I'm going back to the school now.

Let's go.

See you.

Hey, wait... no, no way...

Hey, is it... stink bug? It's stink bug, isn't it?

Hey, wait...

It stinks.

Kuroiwa-kun.

Why are you here?

Well, you too, Sensei. Why are you here?

I heard from that girl that Hijiri-sensei isn't married yet.

I always thought that you had married to that Shotaro guy...

...and went to IKEA with him, buying furniture together or sort of.

And then you already had a child...

...and lived a life of a housewife.

But instead, why do you keep teaching?

Do you come here just to say that?

No, it's not like that.

I'm currently dating Iwasaki.

That's good. Iwasaki-san is a good person anyway.

- Ah, I don't mean that you're not good, Kuroiwa-kun... - I...

...Is it okay for me to come here again?

Huh?

You already broke up with that Shotaro guy, right?

And you're no longer my homeroom teacher.

I'm already 18 now.

I will break up with Iwasaki.

So there will be no reason I can't come here again.

Now, I...

I am...

...still like the way I was that day, that time.

That fireworks festival, that sea...

I am still...

This time, even though everyone objects it...

...I will come here to meet you, Sensei.

Any time...

Don't come here again.

If you come here...

...I can't stay here anymore.

Because...

...I have my precious students here.

I can't leave them.

Don't come here again.

It's time for the last train soon.

You won't be able to go home if you miss it.

You can borrow my bike.

You can just leave it in front of the station later.

Here.

I'm borrowing it then.

"Hijiri-chan, I want to see you. Kuroiwa."

Suenaga-sensei.

What's the matter?

Nogami-sensei.

Yes?

Can I give you my reply now?

Ah... sure.

Wait...

Okay.

If you don't mind with me, I hope after this, little by little...

I'm looking forward to it.

Okay!

Me too. I'm looking forward to it.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Ah, it's bad! We have to hurry! - Ah, you're right.
