"As I try to tell something..."

"May 2015"

"...it's a self-destruction." "May 2015"

"...it's a self-destruction."

Yes.

About your future aspiration form, please submit it soon.

"That day..."

"...I confessed to Hijiri-chan."

"It was somehow by momentum..."

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.

I thought you hated me, Kuroiwa-kun.

Thank you.

You got a confession? From a student?

Well, it's from Kuroiwa-kun I told you about before.

Aah, he's the troublesome one, right?

So he gets you into troubles because he likes you?

Ah, ah, turn it off.

But I guess he wasn't serious about that.

"I come to like you, Sensei"...

...that's how he said it. Yeah, like that.

To say things like "I come to like you, Sensei"...

What's that, a penalty game? Did someone tell him to do so?

Well...

...perhaps.

He is completely daydreaming.

You have one, right? You have someone you like now. I'm right, aren't I? Look at your face.

I'm sure I guess it right.

Have you confessed?

Have you gone out with her?

It's not like that.

I heard you had a quarrel with your mom again.

Well, I'm such a pacifist who don't like to quarrel with others.

If you don't mind, I can help you reconciling with her.

If she doesn't want to tell me anything...

...I don't care anymore.

- Where's your 'thanks for the meal?' - Thanks for the meal.

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

Just give it back! Come on, you won't understand!

"As his father..."

"I want to meet Akira"

So you've told Shotaro that you can't live together with him?

Yes. For now.

Please marry me.

I will continue to be a teacher here until I send out all the students of my class now.

So I guess we'll have the wedding ceremony next year.

If that's so, why do you keep looking at your phone all the time?

He hasn't contacted me at all after that.

What's that, Shotaro, you feel down?

I can understand though. He finally decided to ask you to marry him...

...and he was enthusiast about that. So if you can enter his family register soon...

...it's like crossing the finished line.

But it will surely make him feel down to miss the right timing.

- Marriage is about the momentum anyway. - Really?

Yeah, I was like that too. Three months after meeting my husband...

...we immediately lived together, then got married. Then with the Mach momentum, I entered his family register.

As expected, when you're getting married, momentum is important. It's like that for everyone.

- But I don't think it's the same for everyone. - It's the same, I'm telling you.

- Really? - Yeah, really. I'm telling you, so it's true.

- Mach, Mach. - Mach, Mach?

"Do you have any plan for your next days-off? I guess I'll go to Osaka."

"Koboshidaira"

"Osaka"

Even though she looked so happy when I proposed her...

...then she said things like, "I want to continue to be a teacher".

Then what's with that happy reaction before?

You thought she'd immediately quit.

Because you, the great Kawai Shotaro, who has perfect looks and capability, have told her...

"Hey, girl, we're getting married. So you have to come here to Osaka..."

"...and take care of me."

I absolutely won't do that. That's very rude, isn't it?

When you thought she would fly into your arms right away, she unexpectedly went like, "Wait a sec".

It badly hurts your pride.

Well, I might feel a little bit better if you said it that way though...

Aah, I wonder if inside me, even just for 1 mm...

...I have such a disgusting side like that.

Speaking about disgusting side, that night...

- Are you inviting me? - I just get hungry.

So what will you do? Wanna come?

I pass. I guess I'll just have take-away.

I just simply asked you to have dinner together.

- I said it out of kindness. - I'm sorry.

You made it sounded like I would bite you or something.

No, I just think it would be bad if there were only two of us...

But I guess I overthought it. You have girlfriend already, anyway.

What is... this?

- Please be careful. - Sorry, sorry.

I just got a bit drunk.

If you're not good with drinking, please don't drink too much.

- Ah, we've arrived. - Yeah. Please put on your shoes.

This is not something to laugh at.

Hey, please put it on properly. Okay.

It's dangerous!

You are so light. Do you have any internal organs?

Hey, what's up?

I've got some time off so I come here.

- Could it be that you deliberately made her drunk? - No, I don't...

Thank you~

- Look, starting today, they wear their summer uniforms. - Good morning.

- It's nice to see them look so tidy. - Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, Kuroiwa-kun. You should be wearing your summer uniform, but...

I just realized it when I turned at the corner.

It's already too late.

Good morning.

Kuroiwa~!

Sorry, I thought it was a target.

- Hey, what's with you? - Do you wear that uniform deliberately?

- It must be. He deliberately wears it. - It's not like that.

Good morning. Hey, it's painted, isn't it?

Good morning~

Morning.

- Good day. - Good day.

Huh? That's... so you're studying.

Is there anything you don't understand?

Something I don't understand...

Well...

Why do you sit there, skipping one chair from me?

I've been thinking since that time...

About what?

Seems like I can't just like you...

...because I...

...I also want you to like me back...

...Sensei.

Sorry.

I guess it's a bit... impossible.

"Sorry, I'll be going back to my parents' home in my next days-off."

"Because I haven't told my parents about our plan to get married."

"I guess I want to meet you parents too."

"OK!"

- Do your best~! - Go for it~!

Kuroiwa, go for it!

Go, go, go, Akira!

Whoa, as expected from Kuroiwa.

Go~! Akira!

I want to see Shotaro-san...

Why?

At any rate, I have to keep a distance from him.

Chugakusei Nikki

English subtitle by: aoihachi

We will hold the athletic festival soon.

We have quite many changes in the important things you have to note.

- This year, we'll ban human pyramid. - What?!

For the obstacle race, we'll put mat under the balance beams.

For the students who have to pass under the big net, they must not wear any hair accessories.

Also, bringing your own pet is prohibited. Please follow these rules thoroughly.

- Pet? - Then please make sure that...

- ...no one put up tents on the school yard. - Tent...

There are lots of things to be careful of.

This is what you have to be careful of. As usual, it's such a mixture of truths and false-rumor here.

No matter how many times we delete them, they keep coming up.

For those in charge of managing the information, I'm counting on you.

Okay.

"Revealed! 3rd year student xxxiwa likes Hijiri-chan"

Why do you shout like that?

So that student is actually serious about that?

To say things like, "Please like me as well", he must be serious.

I don't know how serious he is though.

But to be careful, I will keep a distance from him.

So he won't go any further.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

By the way, since there's a sale, I buy you these. Here.

Ah, sorry for troubling you. Thank you so much.

What is it? Do you have to go somewhere?

Yeah. To Shotaro-san's parents' home.

Parents' home?

I think it's already time for me to meet his parents.

So you bring your girlfriend to meet your parents?

How do you know that?

I heard it from Konishi.

What the... so he immediately told you.

Well, I better shut my mind then.

I can read your mind, you know. Together with your parents, you plan to persuade her...

...so she will quit her job and come to Osaka to be with you.

That way, you can keep her close to you all the time. What a strategy.

Ah, I wonder what you have in your mind, Haraguchi-san.

As your neighbor, let me give you some advice.

Okay.

There's always troubles with family.

All my friends who have got married experienced that.

They've been worrying and complaining about their relationship with their in-laws.

So it's better if both your families can meet up and work it out ahead of time.

Okay, now, please pay the charge for getting such valuable advice from me.

Well, I've helped you when you got drunk before.

Moreover, why did I have to be pushed away rudely in the end?

She was deeply jealous.

- I've done with the preparations for tomorrow's presentation. - Thanks.

"As for today, if you don't mind, I'd like to invite your parents too."

- What? - What is it? Your parents?

"If you contact them now, we can have dinner together later."

Is it okay for my parents to come too?

I guess it will be the first meeting between both of your families then.

- "Do you think this is too sudden?" - It's too sudden!

What should we do? Your clothes. Come on, let's decide on that.

First I have to call my parents.

- Hello, Mom? How are you? - We have to curl your hair.

- I'll curl your hair. - It's... ouch, ouch!

Excuse me, I'm going back first.

What? They turn it down? Why does it have to be now?

What happened?

It's about that India's Global Ved.

- The manufacturer said that they turn it down. - What?

- Is our terms for the price too strict for them? - What about trying another company?

It will be okay. Let's persuade them and settle it down as soon as possible.

Okay.

- Konishi, call our chief. - Okay!

Please send these materials to Vietnam and India as well...

Please help me with that!

What? You can't come?

Sorry, there are some troubles with work.

I can't just leave it like that. I'm sorry, but please go alone.

What? Alone? With our parents?

I'm really sorry, I'll contact you later.

Wait..

Kawai, I appreciate you for working on a day-off.

Make sure you use your compensatory holiday properly. You can go now.

But in such situation...

This manufacturer is Konishi's responsibility. It's him who has to do the presentation tomorrow.

Let me say it frankly. Whether you are here or not, nothing will change.

- Well, it may be true, but perhaps... - Seems like you don't understand.

You'll have the family meeting today, right? Just go there, then.

She'll lose her trust on you if you do such last-minute cancellation. And let me say it once more...

...whether you are here or not, nothing will change.

What you said hurts me a bit, actually.

But if later, someone asks, "Where's Kawai?"...

...and the answer is "What? He went home?", I guess you'll get scolded.

- Just be prepared for that. - If that's so, there's no way I will go.

If you don't go, you'll get scolded now.

Thank you very much.

Ah, Hijiri~

Glad you make it on time~ I'm sorry to invite so suddenly.

Is my clothes okay?

If I took out my best kimono, it would get wrinkled...

...and I couldn't just iron it in rush.

You're exaggerating.

It's not like we're visiting a mansion somewhere.

- Right? - Yeah.

Oh, dear~ What a splendid mansion they have~

How wonderful.

We're really sorry for suddenly asking you to come like this...

...but Shotaro can't come in the end.

Sorry for troubling you.

- We are too, sorry for so impudently... - Coming uninvited like this.

Papa.

Please excuse me for a while.

- Hello, hey! Yeah, how is it going? - You can start eating.

He is very busy, isn't he?

Well, it's always like that, since he works in sales field of an advertising company.

As for our family, I'm just an ordinary salaryman.

Hijiri-san, why do you become a teacher?

Ah, that's my dream since childhood time.

Well, you're just imitating your friends, right?

Come on. It's our neighbor, Miyu-chan, right?

That girl said that her future dream was to be a teacher...

- ...so she said, "Me too". - No, I have more proper reasons.

I was deeply moved when I watched a documentary of branch school on TV.

Moreover, the students I met during my teaching practice were very nice...

Aah, I'm sorry. Well...

...Hijiri-san, why do you become a teacher?

- It's... - She's just imitating her friend.

Ouch! What?

- Here's the beer. - Let's start to eat.

Thank you very much.

- Sir, if you want more. - Thank you.

- Well, so the ceremony will be held next year? - Yes, for now.

After your students now graduate, you'll go to Osaka, right?

We're still discussing about it.

- Here, if you want more. - Ah, thank you.

- Here. - Well, since Shotaro-san is placed in Osaka for 2 years...

...so I might go there for only a year or continue being a teacher in Koboshi Junior High like now.

I think I can at least enter his family register first.

How can you say it so leisurely like that~

If you're married, it's best to live together.

But as a teacher, I want to have more experience.

- Wow, you're carrier-oriented. - No, not at all.

However, since Shotaro works for a trading company...

...he will probably be placed in overseas post.

Sooner or later, your work will be...

That's true. Please quit your job.

- Ah, do you want more beer? - Aah, thank you.

Let's have some wine. We have some good wine.

Hijiri-san, why do you choose Shotaro?

Well, since before, he's always...

When we're still in university, we went mountain-climbing with some friends.

But since I didn't have any experience, soon I couldn't keep up with others.

It was very hard...

But there's always that green rucksack in front of me.

Everyone else had already left me behind, but he's always there in front of me.

He was guiding me.

For me, Shotaro-san is my goal.

He always gives me strength to do my best and gives me such energy to face the future.

Ah, how great if I can keep up with him.

I want to be an appropriate wife for him.

Not only as someone who can support him...

...but someday I want us to be such couple...

...who can walk side by side equally.

That's why my target now is to be a fully-fledged teacher.

I'm sorry for saying such selfish things.

No, no, you got me. Our son isn't that wonderful.

Hijiri-san, please eat more. You're still young, anyway.

Ah, yes, thank you very much.

"Kuroiwa-kun, you did well."

Sensei, so you're going to get married?

Hey, it was one versus four, you know.

It's our first family meeting. And in such first family meeting, suddenly I have to face four of them alone.

There's no way I can just keep silent, so...

What you just did is only covering up, right?

I'm not that splendid, you know.

I'm happy to hear you say that I'm your goal, though...

...but I'm not that splendid.

I'm such an uninteresting person.

People I met in Osaka told me, "You're not interesting at all, you know."

- Really? It must be tough for you. - Yeah.

When I'm tired, I go to sleep at 8. I also watch porn.

What? You watched such things too? You did?

We had some troubles at work today, but Haraguchi-san told me...

..."You're not needed here. Just go home."

I'm so happy that you came.

Even though I'm like this, you said such wonderful things about me.

I'll cherish you.

As expected, I shouldn't rush you.

It's okay if you do as you want.

About when to enter family register, when we should live together...

...or how much experience you want to gain as a teacher, just do them as you please, Hijiri.

I will be waiting for you.

- It's a relaxing pose. - Relaxing pose? What's that?

- Was it interesting? - It was. I guess I'd do it too.

- Later. - Later? Do it now.

So you got home already?

Yeah, I made it on time for the last bus.

Huh? I can't turn the light on.

What a boring life you have.

I'm sorry for that.

Even so, Shotaro-san's parents' home was so wonderful~

We're nothing compared to them.

But it's so nice that you can have relationship with him.

It's really something to be grateful for.

It's for certain...

- ...that you can't ever find anyone else like him. - I understand.

Also, do your best as a teacher, Hijiri.

I can't reach it... ah, how dangerous.

How are your students?

Well, I've finally got used to them. What's important is hereafter.

Is there any troublesome kid?

Well... there's one student whom I'm curious about.

What kind of person is that student?

His marks are good, and he's good at sports too.

But he doesn't know what to do in the future.

Sometimes he could be strangely aggressive.

However, he said that he liked that poem too.

"Delighting in a spring night rain."

He remembered the poem I taught in class.

And he makes me feel like, "I'm glad I choose to be a teacher."

I see.

In times when I lost my confidence or felt disheartened...

...he saved me.

It's good, isn't it? It's worth to do.

Someday I'll go there to visit you.

Yeah. Thank you for today. See you.

- Love? Whom are you talking about? - It's your boy Akira, you know.

I feel that he's a bit strange recently. And apparently I guess it right.

He's being strange?

- Like what? - He's being absent-minded all the time.

I guess that kid spends most of his life being absent-minded~

Like you know, since he's little, he always wore his shirts reversed.

Recently, every time I look at him, he's listening to music alone.

Just do your work.

22 23

Hey, Kokonoe, what are you doing?!

Your skirts! I wonder what's behind your skirts!

We wore this.

Hey, stop that. Please.

What's that? Don't ruin my imagination!

- You fool! - Kokonoe-kun, please stop.

Kuroiwa!

Ebihara-kun, be my substitute, will you?

Ah, okay.

- Here. - What? Do we have to do it again?

- Everyone, do your best! - Sensei, are you going home?

- Sorry. - What? I lose my spirit!

- Hey, Kuroiwa? - I'm going home.

What? What about your bag? Kuroiwa!

He got somehow irritated and distracted all the time...

- I've experienced such things too. - When?

When you were a delinquent back at your hometown? Or when you formed comedy band with your friends?

Hey, it's a respectable Hawaiian band, you know.

I've known Akira-kun since he was a child...

...so I understand him. He's being strange lately.

Well, I guess it's natural for him to be curious about someone.

He's already 15 anyway.

Yeah, he's already 15.

Well, I know this might sound a bit cruel to you...

...to talk about love which balances both mentally and physically.

A love for a 15 years old...

...isn't simply about "Ah, that girl is cute!". It's not that simple.

He wants to meet her, to keep in touch with her. And if possible, he wants to be even closer to her.

His head will be filled up with wild ideas and worldly desires.

It's the love of a 15-years-old. A love in a fully-bloomed youth.

Love, you say.

Here, your bag~

Thanks.

Where's your mom?

She's in the company warehouse.

As expected, it's so Asian-styled. What a good sense.

- What is it? - Well, did you catch cold? I'm wavering about the medicine.

We're still 14 though, but we'll celebrate our 15th birthday soon, right?

I wonder if you can take the same dose as adults or not.

Ah, but you're already 15, Kuroiwa. You're born in April anyway.

Here.

Why do you come here actually?

Please don't be even more serious about Suenaga.

She's like that, you know, just trying to make herself pleasant to everyone.

- Right? - Go home.

She has a fiance.

No matter how much you think about it, it's impossible. You'll just get hurt.

- Moreover, it's such an important time for us... - Just shut up!

Go home!

I'm going home. Even if you don't tell me to, I'm going home!

But at least...

...I'm different from Suenaga.

Because as I'm fully prepared to get hurt, I came here.

Huh? Do we have a guest?

Oh, Runa-chan.

Well, both of you...

- Ah, are you probably... - No, it's not like what you think.

- Huh? What? - Excuse me. It's not like that.

But both of you... Wait, Runa-chan.

Akira, you...

Just to make sure though...

...but how should I take this?

You know, I have to be prepared for lots of things...

...my heart isn't quite ready...

She...

...makes me sick.

- Just like me... - What?

Okay, please put your valuable things into this bag.

- Here. - Okay, thank you.

Yeah, put them here, okay. Good.

Okay, thank you.

I got this from someone, that's why it's cute.

Everyone, please be careful not to get heatstroke. Don't forget to drink frequently.

Then please write your name on your headband.

- Let's do it. Oh, crap. - Make sure you write it.

What's that? One scene of youth movie? I guess I will do it too after this, maybe with someone...

What's with that? Isn't it meaningless?

What's with that attitude? It's good for you, isn't it, Kuroiwa?

You can just exchange it as much as you like. Just aim for his, girls!

I said it's meaningless!

If you can't exchange it with anyone...

Come on, let's go.

- Quickly, give it to me! - Stop it!

What the... hey!

Come on, start moving.

Runa-chi, do you want it? Kuroiwa's headband.

Not particularly.

If you can get it, it will be a memory last for a lifetime.

It's dangerous, dangerous...

You don't leave anything behind, right?

3 2 1

Go for it, go for it!

How feminine...

...the smell is.

Is it from the detergent or the cosmetics?

It's not about you. I'm talking about those girls over there. The feminine smell is very strong.

What's the purpose of the athletic festival?

It's to show the result of their everyday hard work and to deepen their solidarity and team-work.

It's also to carry on the school tradition.

Don't forget about its essential meaning.

They are cheering there and here they are restless.

But it also feels a bit nostalgic.

- Nostalgic? - Yes.

When we're at their age, we were cheering like them too, right?

Somehow, it brings back memories of our own school days. It gives us such nostalgic feeling.

As expected you can still feel that way.

But if you're already at my age, it's totally the opposite.

Well, I fully realize that I don't have such feeling of youth anymore...

...if I can't protect them all.

That's how I'm thinking.

The pink team wins~!

"Himena-chan is looking for her mother... "

"...who wears yellow and light blue cap."

"Anyone who is happened to know her, please come to the head-office tent."

Sensei, Sensei.

I'm really sorry about before.

- Akira caused you lots of troubles... - It's okay.

What about your work today?

Well, in events which I have to come like this...

...I'll try to come as much as I can...

...so I can see how much he has grown up.

Today as well.

Kuroiwa.

Give that to me.

- This? - Yeah.

I will run with all my might in our last relay...

...so...

...let's exchange headband.

Recently, seems like Akira feels kinda uneasy.

Before I know it, he's already like that.

Well, but it's cute, right? To have his first love like that.

I think it's quite popular now to exchange your headband with the one you like.

But this way, before I know it, he will have someone he likes...

...then he'll get a girlfriend and someday he'll get married.

He will be separated from me as his parent then.

I agree with you.

I wonder what kind of adult he will be.

If he can be someone who always laughs and lives a happy life...

...I can't ask for anything better.

I will be very happy if I can help him achieve that as his teacher.

I sincerely wish for that.

I'm counting on you, Sensei.

Okay.

Kawashima Yuuko-san.

Kubota Kousuke-kun.

Here. Here.

- Sensei. - Here.

For the next game, 2nd year students, please gather here! Come on, come on!

"Please be prepared for the next program... "

"...Yamamoto-kun from class 3-2, from class 1-2... "

What is this? Just stop making such prank like this.

Why is it?

Why do you try to avoid looking at me...

...and try not to talk to me as much as possible?

Because I told you that I liked you?

It can't be, right? You know, even though I might look like this, I'm actually busy.

You overthink it. Come on, it's relay game after this, right? You should go.

"I will repeat it once more. For the relay squads. Group A, please proceed to the admission gate... "

Please don't treat me like a child.

Why are you running away?

Let me be frank then.

You're troubling me by doing this.

So please stop.

As your teacher, I will support you, Kuroiwa-kun. But I can't do anything more or less than that.

That's why, please stop this.

What the hell is this?

Isn't it strange?

Isn't it supposed to be something wonderful?

This thing called love.

It's starting now. The red team is leading by one step...

Haraguchi-san will be replaced?

Seems like she'll be removed from her position as India's project leader.

Why?

You know, it's our mistakes.

But it's just what appears outside. I guess they've been targeting her from the start.

I've told you, there's suspicion about her and... the president.

The chief is in the same faction anyway.

It can't be...

Next month. I think we can arrange the meeting for next month...

- What? - Haraguchi-san is needed here.

I'm sorry. It's not what I should say though...

- ...but she is needed here. - Kawai.

I know there are some gossips among the employees...

...that she's like this or that with the president, but it's totally untrue. She already has a lover.

- That's why... - Kawai, the presentation was a success.

- Huh? - We received the order in the end.

That's what we are talking about now.

- So it's like... that. - Well, well.

What do you mean with... 'she's like this or that with the president'?

Well, Chief, that's...

Well... do I need to explain it properly?

Well, I just heard about it anyway.

Broken wings.

Sorry?

The fact that I have to explain it myself...

...saying things like, "Well, there's a rumor that I'm the president mistress"...

Ah, my wings are broken.

Shouldn't it be your heart?

- Kawai. - Yes.

- You're worried unnecessarily. - Sorry.

To have you suddenly marching in...

...then blabbering like that, it broke both my heart and wings. Do you understand?

I'm really sorry!

Well, I heard from Konishi that you would be removed...

Konishi. If he ever does it again, I'll shut him up.

But isn't it actually good? This way, the false rumor won't spread any further...

- What? - Since it becomes like this...

- Come with me. - Huh?

"Finally, it's time for the last match."

"The finale of Koboshi Junior High athletic festival, the mixed-group relay."

We're counting on you, anchor! *Note: anchor here means the last runner.

Drum rolls...

Huh, Kuroiwa?

Go for it! Good luck!

Hey, where's Kuroiwa?

Suenaga-Sensei, Kuroiwa is...

Ah... my key.

He hangs up! That fool.

Well, he contacted me just now.

He said, "I felt sick so I went home."

..."But I'm better now... so I'm going out for a while."

Where are he going to?

He hung up when I asked about that.

I'm sorry for making you worried. I'm really sorry.

Um, if anything happens, please contact me.

Yes. I will scold him properly later.

I'm really sorry. Thank you very much.

- I'm sorry. - Please take care.

I'm sorry.

Well, it's the parents' responsibility after this.

But to go home right before the relay match, he's making such a prank.

Actually he could have forced himself to run, right?

Seems like recently, Kuroiwa-kun causes lots of troubles.

Regarding that, do you have anything in mind?

Come on, it's relay game after this, right? You should go.

You're troubling me by doing this.

He's your student.

What troubles Kuroiwa-kun has now or the worries he's holding...

...please try your best to understand it.

I will.

Aah, it's over. I'm tired.

Let's go somewhere then. What about the usual "Miyoshi" shop?

- I think it's better to visit the lunch vendor. - There's none around here.

Where is Shioya-sensei?

She went home already.

She has to work on the materials for the board of education.

- I bring my car, so I'll go there later. - Okay.

"Class 3-1 Kuroiwa"

Everyone is always labeling other people...

...that as a woman, you should just quit your job after you get married!

Whoa!

- Why tennis? - Then for the remaining women, it's either adultery or dried fish...

...or mentally unstable!

Damn it.

Or there are also people went away after knowing I have a girlfriend.

However...

...you don't change. Why?

Dunno...

Perhaps it's because Haraguchi-san is Haraguchi-san?

What's that?

- Gathering time. - Okay.

Hijiri-chan said you're her goal, right?

Ah, yeah.

Don't you realize that a goal is something far away?

Perhaps she feels the distance between you two.

To live separately like this, she slowly slips off...

...and she can no longer tell you what she really thinks.

Because she doesn't want to show her weaknesses.

That way, you two will gradually become just strangers to each other.

Be careful with that, Kawai.

As expected, long distance relationship like this won't work.

If you're worried, just make some moves!

Whoa! Crap!

I thought I could turn it back...

You did well.

Kuroiwa-kun, are you alright?

Did you fall down? Did you hit your head?

Your leg...

Can you stand up?

Does it hurt?

Sensei.

Please don't hate me.

Kuroiwa-kun.

Kuroiwa-kun, it hurts...

Come on, we should treat your wound immediately. Okay?

Moreover, if people see us like this...

I don't care even though others see us like this.

Wait... calm down, please.

I'm going home.

Wait a minute.

Seems like your mother is still working.

Let's try calling her again later.

Sensei, do you like that song?

What? Ah, this one?

Well, this isn't mine.

It's my boyfriend's.

I didn't say that to tease you or something.

I like you, Sensei.

That's why, I selfishly twist the reality...

...and imagine you to be as kind as I want you to be.

I'm that kind of person anyway.

Boss, is this the last one?

- Yeah. - Okay.

She didn't pick up... What should we do?

How about your house?

I don't have the key.

I see. You've told me.

We haven't treated your leg too...

...Should we go to the hospital?

No, I'm okay.

He's your student.

As for now, until we can contact your mother...

...I'll treat your wound at my place.

I just remember, the light bulb burned out.

Come in.

Wash your wound while you wait.

Here.

- Ouch... - Does it hurt?

I'm okay.

May I ask you something?

Why are you like this to me...

You help me...

...and take care of me like this...

Because you got injured. It's natural since I'm your homeroom teacher, right?

Is it only because of that?

Just now...

...am I being too aware?

No, this is not good at all.

I wonder if your wound is already okay.

Kuroiwa-kun.

Actually...

...I have someone I like.

That's why...

Can I... borrow some money?

- Huh? - I want to buy something at the convenient store below...

Ah, you're hungry? I guess I have something to drink...

I'll go to buy it. You won't understand what to buy anyway, Sensei.

But your leg...

It's okay.

Do you need to buy something?

No, I...

The number you are calling is out of reach...

Kuroiwa-kun, I think it's better if we go together...

Here, some souvenirs for you.

- Thank you... - Sorry for surprising you.

Somehow I just want to see your face, Hijiri.

Found it.

The person Akira-kun likes.

What?

Huh? This Hijiri-chan is...

It can't be...

...Sensei?
