"Saturday Drama"
When I was in Middle School, I came to this island...
...because I had become a nuisance to my mother.
"Ocean Overseas Student - Ando Moeka" Sensei, could it be you have a child?
I heard from Moeka.
- Akiyoshi-san, the truth is... - Ah, that's okay, that's okay!
There was some reason for it, right?
Since you've kept quiet about it up until now...
Even if you do apologize...
"Ocean Overseas Student - Tada Shoji" The emotional scars on Yoshitomi's heart from being bullied won't disappear.
"Island Middle School Student - Hino Yoshiomi" Yoshitomi's also saying...
...he doesn't want to see you.
"Welcome to Mitakara Farms" What can be born from letting the island people compete against one another?
It's a full-on success.
Without the support of everyone pulling together, this island can't live.
You'll only break this island.
My goal is for a new island!
"Hiromi!"
I... raised my hand against Hiromi.
Here on this island...
...I was given a chance to overcome my past.
That's why...
...for the sake of this island...
...and the people of this island...
...I feel I can do anything and everything for them.
"End of August"
Summer vacation ends tomorrow...
Yoshiomi-kun, have you finished all your homework?
With the new school term...
...I want to see Yoshiomi-kun at school.
Shoji'll be coming back, won't he?
Are you still afraid of Shoji-kun?
Oh, got one!
Ah, awesome, awesome!
Heiwa Fansubs Presents: "Shima no Sensei" "Teacher's Island"
"Episode 4 (of 6 total) 'A Wounded Heart'"
Welcome back!
We're back!
Welcome back!
I'm back.
- Ah, here. - Thanks.
We have returned.
Welcome back.
Say, where's Yuya-kun?
He wasn't at the dock.
- Right, Captain? - Yeah.
I hung around because I thought he'd...
...probably come on the same flight, but...
I see...
"Tajima Home"
Eh?
Yuya-kun won't come out of his room?
Yes.
Then please be sure to contact me whenever he wants to come out here.
If you would please.
Because we're all waiting for him.
Yuya won't leave his room?
Yeah... She said ever since last week.
And after all the effort he made to go to school, too...
Don't worry about it.
This island is essential to Yuya, so he'll come back.
I'll wait until Yuya comes back.
Huh? What are you saying?
Your due date is only a month away.
Yes, yes. You should go to the main island as soon as possible...
...since they have everything there for a delivery.
If somethin' happened to the baby inside you, that'd be trouble!
But I want to be there to greet Yuya along with everyone else.
Are you in good health?
Yeah. I'm fine, I'm fine.
All of you worry too much.
And you're too reckless.
Really?
Is that right?
Yoshiomi-kun still won't come to school...
No.
Yes.
Well then, excuse me.
This is bad, Natsumura-sensei. We now have two truants.
Let's make sure...
...to have everyone from school be there to greet the Harvest Festival, shall we?
Yes...
Harvest Festival?
Ah, that's right.
This will be Nose-sensei's first one, won't it?
Yes.
It's a festival to give thanks for the blessings of nature for the year.
It's this island's biggest event.
I get the feeling it's the day the Captain lives for.
Ehh! Is it that big a deal?
It is, geez!
Especially for the young men.
Eh? What is it?
Okay, teachers!
This is the beginning of the second semester.
Work hard at it!
- Yes! - Yes!
Eh?
"Mitakara Farms"
"No orders have come in. No orders have come in."
No one's come, have they?
It may be our best chance has slipped by us.
That's not true!
We could work on the farm families once more and...
Even before those people jumped ship, orders for them were going down...
It's been over two weeks and not a single order has come in.
It's been tough for me on the island recently, too.
Eh?
Like I thought, I'm just a stranger to them.
No. Hashino-san, you're overthinking things.
This current case is just a slight misunderstanding.
I...
...want to do this with Hashino-san until the very end.
Thank you.
But...
Mitakara Farms... is closing up shop.
Ehh... To all the young men of Mitakara-jima Middle/High School.
We will be holding the seasonal Harvest Festival this year as well.
Starting today, we want to begin training for the ritual shrine sumo matches.
Please gather at the sumo ring in front of the assembly hall immediately.
To repeat.
Whaa... it's started.
It seems earlier than usual this year somehow.
Hey Shoji, Tsubasa.
Hurry and change clothes and go.
Yes.
Please gather at the sumo ring in front of the assembly hall immediately.
Yoshiomi!
Do you plan on not going for sumo either?
Welcome home.
I'm home.
You're late.
Were there a lot of orders?
That's totally over with.
Eh?
We haven't had any orders in over 2 weeks.
No one is coming to the assembly hall, either.
I was out going around to the farmhouses asking for their cooperation until just now.
They all said they didn't want to do it anymore.
Okay...
I see.
Did you hear anything from Yuya?
If he doesn't get back here soon, you won't be able to prepare for the delivery.
Yeah...
About that...
Your father said not to contact him.
Eh? Why not?
He says it would only make Yuya feel cornered.
- Dad! - Huh?
What's the meaning of this?
Aren't ya worried 'bout both Yuya and Namiko?!
- Of course I'm worried. - Why then?
Why do you covet immediate results so much?!
As long as you force your feelings, nothing will ever get solved!
It's the same with Mitakara Farms, as well. Wasn't all you did there was just spin your wheels?
Excuse me.
Yes!
Oh, Chihiro. You've come all this way.
How is Yoshiomi-kun doing?
Hmm... He seems to spend most of the day fishing, but...
...he comes home before school is over.
He just doesn't want to see Shoji, I guess.
May I go up to him?
Yeah.
Sensei.
Seems you go fishing during the day.
Catch anything?
I'm sorry for not going to school.
Let's go...
...and practice your sumo.
Yoshiomi-kun, you love sumo, don't you?
I think everyone is waiting for you.
Especially...
Yoshiomi!
Yer 100 years too early ta get out of sumo practice!
- Captain! - C'mon, get out here!
- My sandals! My sandals! - Quiet down!
Stop it!
Chihiro! Chihiro! His loincloth, his loincloth! Take care of him!
Captain!
3!
4!
5!
6!
7!
Oi!
Practice is starting!
It's Yoshiomi-kun!
Listen up you guys.
Even if you do skip school, ya ain't skippin' sumo practice.
Resolve yerselves!
- Yes! - Yes!
Yoshiomi!
Hurry and put on your loincloth!
Here.
Do your best.
- If you would please. - Okay, Kazuhiro.
Yes.
And go! That's it!
Push just like that! Push, push!
There!
- Thank you very much! - Okay!
Next, Yoshiomi!
Get ready!
Do your best!
Go!
That's it! Push! Push! Push, push, push!
Shuffle, shuffle!
There!
Really?
Yoshiomi went to the practice.
The Captain forced him to by dragging him there.
That's fine, too.
Shoji. Yoshiomi may go to school tomorrow.
If he does, make sure you apologize properly to him.
Yeah.
Seconds!
I'll get it.
Thanks.
If Yuya were to come back after this...
...Namiko-san would be able to return to the main island with peace of mind, right?
What's the matter?
Because it would only corner Yuya...
...he says we aren't to contact his home.
There's no reason to drag him out here like the Captain would, now is there?
I'm sorry for worrying you so.
Not at all.
I'll help out more with the housework from here on, okay?
Thank you.
Have you been in touch with the family midwife?
Yeah...
She said not to overdo things.
And that if anything happens, I'm to call her right away.
Is that right.
Chi-chan, how was it at the time of your delivery?
Eh? "How was it"?
Was it painful? Were you anxious?
Well, it was painful...
...and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't anxious...
But, I was happy.
Can we...
...make this child happy?
You can.
How do I put this?
As a foster parent, I've seen all sorts of children, right?
I think while they may have caused various troubles for their schools...
...in the end I think at its root it all comes down to...
...how parents deal with their children.
That's what I think.
Both I and my husband are worried about that.
I was surprised when I heard Chi-chan had a child...
...but I was also incredibly happy about it.
I'll be coming to you for all sorts of advice.
If it's something I know about.
Yeah.
- 'Morning. - 'Morning.
- Good morning. - 'Morning.
"Soka Senbe" (rice crackers)
Hey, let's hurry and go!
Good morning!
What are you doing?
Well...
...just something.
I see... You're waiting for Yoshiomi.
Well...
Ah! He's coming!
- 'Morning! - Good morning.
Yoshiomi!
Um...
This is... a gift. I bought it for you.
Don't want it.
Then I'll take it...
You can't do that!
Thing is, it's naive thinking a scheme like this will resolve things.
Time is what's needed to make up for it.
I know that!
That I can straighten myself up here on the island is what will pay back Yoshiomi.
The same way it will for Chihiro-sensei.
Eh? What's the same for Chihiro-sensei?
Huh?
Because Chihiro-sensei is...
Eh? Abuse?
Yeah. The reason Chihiro came back to the island...
...was because she was divorced for having abused her child.
It's a rumor going around the entire island.
Ah, Toshi-baa.
We heard.
Is it true Chi abused her child?
Well, we thought it couldn't be, but if it is true...
...people'll be saying, "Is it okay for her to be a teacher?" Right?
Chi-chan.
Oh, Chi.
I'm...
...truly sorry for not having talked to all of you properly about this before.
When I heard everything from Chihiro...
I told her...
..."come back to the island."
"It's fine for you to start over once more on the island."
The one who told her not to talk about it to those around her was me.
If...
...anyone feels offended that Chihiro...
...didn't speak about her past circumstances...
...then that is all my responsibility.
I want you...
...to forgive Chihiro.
I am truly very sorry.
This isn't a wake, after all...
Shoji, say something.
Sensei, do you really love children?
- Idiot! - Ow...
That hurt...
You may not believe me, but...
I do love them...
...still.
Seconds!
- Yes. - That's okay; I'll do it.
Thank you.
Chihiro, I'm coming in.
Yes.
What is it?
Don't you have any tea?
Yeah.
Is this about Namiko-san?
Sorry about that.
Seems Namiko is in shock, too.
That you had raised your hand to your child.
It can't be helped.
I think it's a natural reaction.
How long has it been since you returned to the island?
Just a little over a year.
How is it?
Compared to the time when you came as an overseas student.
"How is it?"
In those days...
...you were serious, your grades were excellent and you didn't seem to have any problems.
But...
...in here there was a thirst...
...and a terrible bruise...
It was like your heart was bleeding.
But...
...when you were done as an overseas student...
...I had this thought as I saw Chihiro laughing while leaving the island.
"I'm certain the wound in Chihiro's heart has been healed."
And that's why...
...I continued accepting so many other children as a foster parent.
Ojisan, I am truly grateful to you.
Yeah...
But...
...I was wrong, wasn't I?
When I found out you were divorcing because you had used violence against your child...
...I realized I had been mistaken.
When you left the island, the wound in your heart...
...may have been nothing more than scabbed over.
But it hadn't healed properly.
That's why...
...I wanted you to come back to the island once again.
And then you did come back.
And I'm...
...happy about that.
This time around...
...I want it to be healed completely.
I want you to recover.
That's all I wanted to say.
Thank you.
Yeah.
"Out in the west sea off of Okinawa Prefecture's Minamidaitou-jima..."
"...it is moving at slow speed towards the north."
"It is expected to advance northwards towards Okinawa's Amami region..."
"...and its power will strengthen overnight..."
Ah, I'll get it.
- It's Sensei. - Thank you very much.
Yes, hello?
Ah, Chihiro?
The school's being closed?
- Ah! All right! - I understand.
Once the school has been sealed up, you come home right away.
Yeah, I will.
Natsumura-sensei, once you're done on the phone, please come help us outside.
Understood. I'll come right away.
Akiyoshi!
- Are you okay? - Yeah, we're fine.
Are there any other places that need help?
They've mostly finished their preparations.
The Captain is with Toshi-san right now.
Council Chief...
...this is gonna be a pretty bad one.
Yeah.
I only hope it won't be a direct hit.
Yeah.
"The storm which has involved the Kagoshima Prefecture and Amami regions..."
"...continues with very strong wind forces that are increasing their speeds, little by little..."
"...and will move north over the western seas of Minamidaitou-jima."
"At this time, Amami-Ooshima..."
"...and the Amami districts have entered the storm region."
I'm taking this up to Aki-nii.
"In addition, moist air flowing from the typhoon..."
"...is coming under the influence of a stagnate front near Kyushu..."
"...and hitting Shikoku and the southern Kyushu islands..."
- Namiko-san, sit down. I'll do this... - I'm fine!
"According to the Meteorological Agency, the typhoon will now..."
"...after having moved north into the sea east of Amami-Ooshima..."
"...and furthermore, having increased in strength, may by tomorrow..."
"...be approaching both West Japan and Higashinihon."
Whaa... It's on a direct course to hit us.
Hmm...
A typhoon always comes just before the Harvest Festival.
When there is a threat like this from nature...
...people realize just how small they are and so can give a hearty thanks for the rich blessings they have. Right?
Hmm...
"The atmospheric level at the center of the typhoon is 975hPa."
"Maximum wind speeds at the center are 30 meters; maximum instantaneous wind speed are 45 meters..."
"...and with a central radius of less than 90km..."
"...it has a storm wind velocity of no less than 25 meters per second."
Namiko, don't we have any batteries? Batteries.
What's the matter, Namiko?
Are you in pain somewhere?
Could it be you're in labor?
- Probably... - Eh?
Eh?! She's gonna give birth to the baby?
Oi, this is why I told you to hurry over to the main island.
Don't start saying that at this late hour.
Call the Captain and ask him if he can risk taking the boat out.
Let's lay out the futon and have you lie down.
- Moeka-san, can you lay out the futon? - Yes!
What are you doing, Captain...
Hurry and pick up!
- Yes, hello? - Ah, Captain, we need a favor!
Take out the ship! The ship!
"Pochi"
- Akiyoshi! - Captain!
Shoji, bring him a towel!
Sorry for asking for the impossible.
I went and looked at the harbor, haggu! But it's just impossible!
First off, if I did take her out by ship, Nami-chan's body would...
A midwife is supposed to come from the harbor on the main island.
Please. There's no one but you who can bring her here, Captain.
Please!
All right.
I'll make sure and bring her back!
We're counting on you!
Thank you.
No. Ain't no big deal.
So long; I'll be right back!
- Be careful! - Please! Captain!
Geh!
Hey!
Men don't peep!
- Yes. - Yes.
Now, eat this.
- Oji-san. - Huh?
Will Nami-nee be okay?
Yeah.
The Captain went to pick up the midwife and Chihiro's here, too.
Besides, this house has seen the birth of many children in the past.
Hmm...
But Nami-nee's in a lot of pain.
It's like that for every woman when they give birth to a child.
It was that way when both Shoji and Tsubasa's mothers gave birth to you two as well.
Tsubasa, give thanks to your mother in Heaven.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Then why are there parents who don't take good care of their children?
After going through all that pain to give birth.
Well, they forget.
They forget?
They say that people...
...when dealing with what's right there in front of them...
...will forget the truly important things.
Listen. Just stay in for a little while longer. Okay!
What'll we do if it does come out?
Eh? At that time...
When that time comes...
Eh?! No...
- Oi, oi... - Nami-nee, don't cry.
But...
- Geez, that Captain ain't back yet! - Could it be his ship overturned?
Hey! Don't go saying unlucky things!
Ah!
- Ah, geez... - I'm sorry. Nami-nee, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Nami-nee.
It'll be okay.
Ah, geez...
The intervals between her labor pains have gotten shorter.
"Pochi"
What's the matter?
I keep watching her while she's in so much pain.
Women are so strong.
If it were me, I'd have lost my mind long ago.
That's true.
It was the same for me when you were born.
All flustered, I kept going back and forth from around the curtain.
Dad.
What?
Will I...
...make a good father?
Are you afraid of being a parent?
How was it when it was your time, Dad?
Let's see...
I was probably scared, too.
But the moment you were born, all that went flying away.
Both my worries and anxieties.
Chi-chan.
What is it?
Thank you.
No.
It's okay. You'll be okay.
Chi-chan...
...you gave birth this way, too, didn't you?
Yeah.
I know...
...I became the worst of mothers.
But...
...when Hiromi was born...
...that was...
...my happiest moment ever.
Namiko-san's happiness...
...is also waiting just around the corner for you.
Akiyoshi-san!
What's the matter?
Seems her water has broken.
Eh?
Wha... what should we do then?
Chi-chan...
Help me! Help me!
You can do it! Right?
Because you'll be seeing your baby very soon.
Be steady, Namiko. Okay!
Akiyoshi-san, give her some support here.
Ah, all right.
Namiko, be steady! Okay!
- Captain! - Captain! Captain!
- Akiyoshi... - Captain, thank you!
What's the pregnant woman's condition?
Her water broke just now...
If you would please!
Captain, you did it!
'Cause I'm the only one who can protect...
...the means of transportation for everyone on the island.
That's exactly right!
Yes, the labor pains have come, look.
Here, take a deep breath...
...and hold it.
Namiko-san, you can do it!
Yes, yes, just like that.
Yes, then one more time. Deep breath...
Yes!
- Yes, that's good. - You can do it!
You can do it! You can do it!
You can do it!
Yes, another deep breath...
Yes, and hold it!
The midwife came, didn't she?
It'll be fine.
Any time now?
Any time now.
It's born!
Haggu, a healthy baby boy.
He's cute.
Incredible! He's moving!
Of course he is.
Yes, come...
Here you go, Mother.
Namiko...
...thank you.
Ala?
Aki-nii, are you crying?
I ain't crying.
- Liar! - He's crying.
He's crying.
"A healthy baby girl."
"Congratulations. She's very healthy."
Strain yourselves!
That's the match!
Nishimatsu Kazuhiro-kun is the winner!
Hey, use your hips!
What a man!
Next up is Aoi Tsubasa-kun vs. Shigemura Daiki-kun!
Yoiya, yoiya, sa!
Tsubasa, you can do it!
Yes, strike your pose...
Again...
With that pose it's now or never!
Hakkeyoi!
And that's the match!
Shigemura Daiki-kun is the winner!
Tsubasa-kun, you really did your best!
Next year I'll win for sure!
Yes! That's the spirit!
- You did great. - Yeah.
Hashino-san!
Ah...
I was thinking of staying away from the festival, but...
...here I am.
Hashino-san...
...everyone truly understands you did your utmost...
...for the sake of this island.
Oh... Hashino-san.
My wife made some pickled papaya. Will ya have some?
Eh?
My family's pickled papaya is the best on Mitakara-jima.
It's delicious.
Now, now, now, this way.
Over here.
Let's have a feast! Now, now!
Good afternoon.
Hashino-san, sit down, sit down.
- May I? - Yeah.
Now, eat lots.
I hope the seasoning is to your taste.
- Delicious! - Right?
Of course it is! Just how long do you think my wife has been making this?
- Come, come, a toast! - Oh, a toast, a toast!
Now, now, let's drink.
For all Hashino-san did to revitalize this island...
- Kanpai! - Kanpai!
Ah... delicious!
The next match is...
...Tada Shoji-kun vs. Hino Yoshiomi-kun!
Ah... This should be an interesting match.
Yoiya, yoiya, sa!
Yoshiomi, you can do it!
Both of you get fired up!
Strike your pose!
It's now or never!
Hakkeyoi!
Strain! Strain yourselves!
Strain! Yes, strain yourselves!
Strain for it! Yes, yes, yes!
Nokotta, nokkota! Nokkata! Strain yourselves!
Yes! Yes, yes! Nokkota!
Strain yourselves! Strain!
Strain! Yes!
Yes, yes!
Nokotta, nokkota!
Hino Yoshiomi-kun is the winner!
Just a moment!
That match just now... was too lethargic a match!
Eh?!
Shoji, to let Yoshiomi win, you held back, didn't you?
Is that true?
Is that true, Shoji?
What are you doing?!
This is a ritual shrine sumo match!
You've embarrassed the honorable gods!
For that reason, as Umpire, I suggest a rematch to the Chairman.
Okay.
Let's have one more match, yes!
You can do it!
Strike your pose! It's now or never!
Hakkeyoi! Hakkeyoi! Hakkeyoi!
You can do it!
You can do it! You can do it!
Don't lose!
You can do it!
- You can do it, you can do it, Yoshiomi! - Both of you do your best!
You can do it!
And that's the match!
Tada Shoji-kun is the winner!
Thank you.
That was a great match.
- That's great, isn't it? - Yeah.
Ow, ow! I over did it.
Shoji, that's great, isn't it?
Eh?
When did you get back?
A little while ago.
Say, how's Nami-nee? The baby's been born, hasn't it?
Could it be you came back just to see the baby?
Yeah.
Ehh... Everyone!
As many of you already know...
...a little while ago...
...a very auspicious thing happened for Mitakara-jima.
The long-awaited eldest son...
...of Tajima Akiyoshi and his wife Namiko, Nozomi-kun...
...was born!
In the island's tradition...
...I'd like to hold the ceremony for Nozomi-kun's first entrance into the sumo wrestling ring!
Yoshio!
Chi-chan...
Thank you.
That was a great ring-entrance ceremony!
Good morning!
What's the matter? Is there something interesting in the news?
"Jewelry Natsumura Acquires the Amami Pearl"
It seems your mother will be coming to the area, doesn't it?
"To Be Continued"
5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
Tomorrow...
...my mother will be coming to the island.
We're thinking of leaving the island.
From the place where you were raised...
Don't say such tiny things!
I have never told her that I hated her.
- We are parent and child, after all. - You're wrong!
You refused to send me to school and you abandoned me on this island, didn't you?!
