"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."
There's a suspicion of you doing some sexual misconduct.
"Resignation Letter"
I quit being a teacher.
The punishment... could it be that you have to quit teaching in this school?
- It was a mistake. - No way...
It's something that shouldn't be done.
Why...?
Because you are 15.
Sensei!
Hiji...
Hijiri-chan!
I've decided my future course!
There, I will become an adult!
That's why, don't go!
Hijiri-chan!
After that...
...Hijiri-chan disappears...
She disappears...
...from my 15-years-old summer.
I'm thinking of holding a class reunion.
Class reunion? Really?
Hey, when?
- Perhaps next month. - That's a good idea.
It's been 3 years since we graduated from junior high school.
How carefree you are, Kokonoe. It's because you aren't taking entrance exam.
Well, I'm succeeding my family's liquor shop anyway.
I think I'll try inviting Kuroiwa as well.
- Kuroiwa? - Well, I don't know whether he'll come or not though.
He won't come.
He suddenly stopped coming to school, after all.
And he didn't graduate together with us.
What about you, Iwasaki? Did you meet him?
Nope.
After that fireworks festival, zero contact from him, zero explanation.
More precisely, it's rather minus than zero.
Perhaps for him, we're not his friends.
Just kidding~
That time, Suenaga also quit school in all of sudden.
There were various rumors about that, right? Like she was eloping with Kuroiwa.
- Or she was pregnant with Kuroiwa's child. - Or she had shotgun marriage with her boyfriend.
Or she got hit by meteorite and was kidnapped by UFO.
There's nothing like that.
I wonder... where she is and what she's doing now.
I guess she's simply being a housewife now.
Thank you for waiting. Here's your fried chicken and potato salad lunchbox.
- Thanks. - Thank you very much.
- Seaweed lunchbox with tatsuta - Okay.
Note: tatsuta-age is dish of fish or meat flavoured with soy sauce, mirin, etc., coated with starch and then deep-fried
- Seaweed lunchbox with chicken tatsuta, please. - Okay.
Here's the change, 200 yen.
Well, I'll excuse myself now.
Thank you for helping.
Yeah, thank you.
Ah, Hijiri.
Hey, you shouldn't call without honorific.
- Thank you very much. - It's okay.
Here.
Whoa, our lunchbox!
Could it be that you're helping at his father's store again?
Well, just a little.
Yuto-kun's mother said she wanted to go to the dentist anyway.
Suenaga-sensei, you're really kindhearted.
Let's play, Hijiri-sensei!
Later, okay? I still have some works to do after this...
Yeah!
You did it~
There, there! Throw it to them!
Let's start, here!
You're disappointed, right, Chizuru-sensei?
Suenaga-sensei completely snatched away your Madonna-Teacher title.
What are you talking about, Nogami-kun?
I'm already in the hall of fame.
So I step down as the Madonna to hand over the title to my junior.
Don't you see? My generosity.
How kind you are, Chizuru-sensei. Though basically you dislike young girls.
What are you saying? The more she relies on me, the cuter she is.
Speaking of Suenaga-sensei...
...does she have a boyfriend?
Here you go again. You've asked that for 100 times already.
What? Well, no, no...
It's just my second time asking.
Seems like she doesn't think about that at all.
Hey, Hijiri!
Use honorific, please!
We're lucky to have a good teacher joining us here.
She's getting along well with the children...
...though she taught in a junior high school before.
Is it true that she came here because her plan to get married before didn't work?
So Suenaga-sensei had...
...some special circumstances?
Well... even though you asked me...
Why didn't she get married before?
Did something happen?
Ah, the gymnasium.
I forgot to lock it.
Yuto, catch this! Ah...
Ouch.
Tachibana-san.
Are you okay?
It must hurt... Are you okay?
It's just a little scratch so it's okay now.
Thank you very much.
Tachibana-san, did you go to library too today?
I like this book a lot too.
The cat in this drawing is really cute, right?
Do you like it too, Tachibana-san?
I beg you...
...just don't make me feel irritated anymore.
A mosquito.
Huh? A mosquito?
Hey, you're right.
You caught a mosquito.
It makes me surprised a little bit, though.
Thank you.
Hijiri-sensei, can we talk?
Okay.
To her house?
I've contacted her mother. Can you send her home?
Okay, I understand. I have to talk about her injury too.
Yeah, that's right, but apart from that...
...she hasn't paid the excursion fee.
Can you please tell her mother about this too?
Okay.
Also...
...we didn't see her mother recently.
Please check the circumstances too.
I understand.
Is it here?
Mom.
Good afternoon.
Sensei, sorry that you have to come here expressly...
- Well, today Ayano-chan... - I've heard about it. She fell down.
- Yes. - Thank you very much.
And sorry, about the excursion...
Ah, yeah, the excursion fee, right?
- I'll pay it tomorrow. - Okay.
Ah, sorry.
- Excuse me. - Okay.
- Welcome home. - I'm home.
She sent you home right away?
Yeah, seems like she was having a guest.
She said she'd pay the excursion fee tomorrow.
Seems like the rumors are true.
Do you mean that one? That she has a lover.
But as a single mother, it's free for Tachibana-san to have a lover, right?
But even so, there's a rumor that some men are going in and out of her house frequently.
Well, her situation is kinda complicated, isn't it?
Complicated?
Suenaga-sensei, didn't you know that?
Tachibana family is a great landowner in this area.
But Miwa-san... ah, I mean Ayano-chan's mother...
She graduated from here too.
She had an affair with her husband's best friend.
You know, that so-called forbidden love.
But about things like that...
...even though she knew it wasn't right, she still couldn't stop.
To get carried away like that, it must be hard, right?
In the end they divorced.
And they had to leave their house.
They moved to a vacant house and it's just the two of them living together.
How shameful it is.
Well, this is a small town after all.
Once you're being rumored, it would be bad.
It would be the end.
Oh, please God.
Ah, I broke it...
Are you okay, Hijiri?
I'm sorry.
I'm going home now.
See you.
- See you. - Take care.
You know, that so-called forbidden love.
If it's just to kill time for you, why does it have to be my Akira?!
Why did you use him like that?!
I...
...have to quit the school.
I fall in love with my student.
Once you're being rumored, it would be bad.
- This one, please. - Okay, thank you very much.
Thank God we can buy the same one.
They said they bought it here last year anyway.
The principal is still out for business trip until today.
So you can secretly put this back.
Sorry that you have to accompany me like this.
It's okay. As my homeroom assistant...
...you've helped me a lot, Suenaga-sensei.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Ah, I'm sorry. - Sorry.
Sorry.
That's a book I wanted to buy.
Seems like this can be used for lessons.
They're cheap. How about buying some of them?
Let's do it.
Ah, feel free to choose the books.
- Just take your time checking on them. - Okay.
You'll surely pass the exam with that.
Yeah.
Well, these are not bad. Right, Suenaga-sensei?
Suenaga-sensei?
Chugakusei Nikki
English subtitle by: aoihachi
Ah, well...
What's the matter?
Huh? Ah, no, I just want to take a look around here.
Wow~ Things like this are cute, aren't they?
You're right.
Ah, look. This is good.
- We can use it to decorate the staff room. - You're right.
- Look, look. That one. - How big.
I wonder how many stuffs we can put in there. Can we put everyone's stuffs there?
Yeah, like doing campaign with everyone.
Akira-kun, sorry to make you wait.
Look at these. They are a good deal.
There are some stuffs that Sayuri-san might like over there.
Really? Like what, accessories?
Doesn't Sayuri-san like emerald color?
Aah, emerald color. Yeah, she likes it.
Let's go back now, shall we?
Okay.
Because you're 15.
I will become adult!
Do you mean Akira-kun?
Yes, how is he recently?
There's nothing to worry about him.
You know, everyday...
...he's very well-regulated.
He works on his workbook after waking up...
...and as he gets home after school, he studies again.
Thank you very much for all your help these times.
Akira-kun, this is the birthday card.
Write something on it.
Your mom is coming, by the way.
The school is near from here...
...and I think it's because Joffe and you watch over him...
...that he can be settled here.
Ah, by the way...
...this is the lodging fee for this month.
And this one...
...a birthday present for you.
I'm really happy to have everyone celebrating it.
I'm sure someday...
...you two can talk and laugh together again.
Well, I'm going back now.
Boss, can we talk?
You saw her?
At Machikura Town's fair.
Was it really that person? Or just someone who looks like her?
No, I'm sure it's really her.
I was so surprised that I got speechless.
What about Akira? Did he notice her?
Nope. It was a near-miss. He didn't notice about it at all.
It's been 3 years since that time, right?
Don't see her ever again.
I won't allow this.
I don't care no matter how much you are against this. I will marry Sensei someday...
Don't say such nonsense!
That summer...
...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...
Well, I think he just gets too many things entangled in his mind.
But when there's a chance, I'm sure it's going to be fine.
He will have his entrance exam soon.
When it's over, he'll begin his university life.
Maybe he will live alone..
...cook for himself, get a part-time job...
...and take a driving license.
That way, year by year, he will grow up into an adult.
For me, that's the most important thing.
How was she? That person.
She seems to be doing well.
I saw a man next to her too.
I wonder if she's married already.
She had a fiance, anyway.
"Tokyo"
To say it frankly...
...this contract is totally unnecessary.
The partnership we have with Asia Heavy Industry now...
...is enough to help our expansion throughout Asia.
Well, it can't be helped.
If we cut Asia Heavy Industry now because of their short-term profits...
I quit!
Hey, wait, Kawai!
So you're going to quit.
What will you do after this?
Well, I wonder.
Let's think about it while having dinner tonight.
Sounds good.
Before that, section chief is calling you.
Section chief?
You said you quit?
Our new section chief Haraguchi.
It's starting from today, right? Welcome to the Tokyo main office then.
As soon as I got my new post here, the first information I get is your resignation letter.
It's rejected. Don't say anything stupid.
But about the case with Asia Heavy Industry...
I will take the responsibility and re-examine it.
Can you just leave it entirely to me?
Well...
...okay.
Good then.
To be honest, I was a bit scared deep down.
Look what you were doing.
By the way, since when did you become hot-blooded like that?
Ah, because of that?
3 years ago, you were engaged that time...
...but then she, let's just address her as H-san, got away from you.
It's Hijiri.
Since then, you've been devoting yourself to your work...
...and become inflexible.
That time, you thoroughly listened to all my grumblings.
It's been 3 years since then.
H-san who was 25 years old that time is now 28...
...and that junior high school boy...
...he has the right to vote now.
Well, I don't really care about that.
That kind of thing, Kawai.
- Hijiri. - Yeah.
- Open the door~ - Okay.
My husband went to pick some fresh pears.
- Really? - Yeah. Just take as many as you want.
Is it really okay? Well, thank you then.
- You took only one? - It's enough.
- I live alone so this is already too much for me. - You must be joking.
How about you, Chizuru-san?
- If you don't mind, let's eat together. - Ah, thanks~
You only eat that much?
Well...
With your usual bottomless stomach, you can actually eat triple the portion, right?
I don't eat that much.
Well, perhaps just double the portion.
- Let's eat. - Let's eat.
What happened?
I guess it's a bit overcooked...
Hijiri. You've promised to tell me if anything happened.
Today...
...I happened to see him.
Who?
- You must be joking... - But even so...
...I just catch a glimpse of him from afar.
He didn't notice me at all.
Shall we have some eggs?
How was him?
Well... he seems to be doing well so I'm a bit relieved.
Only that?
Seeing him...
...reminds me of what happened 3 years ago.
I had nowhere else to go...
...so at first, I went back to my parents' house.
Ah, let me help you.
You don't need to do that.
It's okay.
- You should see who's coming. - Yeah.
Both Mom and Dad didn't say anything...
...and just accepted me back.
Hijiri-chan is coming back here?
Yeah. She resigned from the school and is living here now.
I see.
It's because she got some health issues.
That must be hard for her.
To hear that, I felt that I couldn't just stay there doing nothing.
It would make my parents worried if they had to keep lying like that.
You're right, Hijiri.
After that, I started to work part-time as a lecturer in cram school...
...It becomes like this.
- How great! All your answers are correct! - Yay!
- I'm finished too! - Really?
That way, you desperately looked for what you wanted to do.
But I still could feel your passion to continue teaching...
...so much that it hurts. That's why when there's a vacant position in our school...
...I told you about that.
I can't thank you enough for that.
Well, we got a letter too, actually.
A letter?
The principal also said that we got a reference from Koboshi Junior High.
It was from Shioya-sensei.
I wish...
...I had a chance to nurture her more.
She expressly sent us a letter.
She said, 'Please support Suenaga-sensei. Good luck for her'...
...and also 'Please don't block her way'.
I didn't tell you this because seems like you can finally relax your mind.
When I saw him...
...I instantly thought...
...what would happen if it was known.
I wonder if it would ruin the life I have now...
...and before I realize it...
...I went away...
...as if I was running away.
After I properly retook the employment examination in Tokyo...
...to be able to continue living here as a teacher...
...is the only thing I wish for now.
I want to do my best here.
I understand.
You'll be okay. There's no way such thing will happen again.
However, Hijiri...
...you can't keep on being gloomy like that.
How about finding a good guy soon?
Well, for example Nogami-sensei. How do you think about him?
What do you mean?
Well, Nogami-kun might seem to be a careless person...
...but he's actually very reliable.
Since long ago, I always think that you two are good together.
You are saying irresponsible stuffs again.
Listen, Hijiri. From now on...
...if you want to continue improving yourself as a teacher...
...settling down with someone and getting married is important too.
No, no, no. I don't have time for such thing now.
Hey, open up~
That voice...
Isn't it your husband?
- Yes? - Hello.
- Chi-chan, I come to pick you up. - Oh, my husband.
Then, look at this, Hijiri-chan!
- Pears! - Yeah.
Wait, wait, wait a sec. I've brought her some, you know.
- What? Hijiri, excuse me. - Go ahead.
Hey, it's true. It's doubled.
See? There's no way she can eat them all.
- Well, I guess I'll give them out to my high school. - Yeah, and to Micchan too.
- Micchan, yeah, you're right. - Speaking about Micchan...
...since she doesn't drink water, she can re-hydrate by eating pears.
- Really? - Yeah, let's give many to her. - Micchan does?
"Class of 2015 - Koboshi Junior High 3-1 Class Reunion"
Wait, wait, wait, I want to put something too.
Wait, write something here.
Runa-chi, yahoo~
Yuu! Long time no see!
Kosaka! Kosaka, long time no see.
- Yahoo~ - She changes a lot.
Hey, is everyone here already?
No more to come?
Well, let's begin then!
I, Ebihara Michiru, will be the host for today~
Long time no see!
Wait, what... what the...
Hey, are you okay?
Did you watch it yesterday? Super bantamweight.
Ah, I did. 7 times KO.
Wait, wait...
What's with those two?
Dunno.
Could it be... they reconciled just now?
For heaven's sake, I wished he was more disappointed than this.
Hey, hey, Kuroiwa.
Can I ask you something?
What happened 3 years ago?
Is it really related to Suenaga?
Do you still meet Suenaga recently?
Suenaga?
Who is that?
Hey, hey...
You were so crazy about her before...
According to the weather forecast, the chance of raining is around 30%.
- But I think it's better if we bring raincoats along. - You're right.
If it's really raining, we can take the students to play at the nearest public hall.
But if it's just drizzling, we will dig for sweet potatoes as planned.
I understand. So we'll decide it based on the situation...
Well... see you tomorrow.
Ah, see you tomorrow.
See you. Bye-bye!
I'll accompany you home.
What? Do you want to go somewhere?
There's something I want to talk to Iwasaki.
Well... okay.
I'll contact you again later.
- See you. - See you.
- Take care. - See you.
I always think that...
...Kuroiwa is such a jerk, a wolf in sheep's clothing.
That side of you remains the same, I guess.
Though you're the one who invited me, you don't talk much.
Sorry.
You made me worried by quitting school suddenly, you know.
Sorry.
Before I knew it, you left your house.
Sorry.
You apologize too much.
Today...
...I apologize to everyone.
Kuroiwa, which high school did you enter?
Seitoichi High School.
What? That's great!
It's the most prestigious school in the prefecture, right?
I don't have any spare time...
...to do things other than studying.
Kuroiwa...
...if I tell you...
...that I still like you, would it turn you off?
Ah, I'm sure it would.
Well, I didn't think about that.
I didn't think about that too.
But today, I ended up confessing to you.
Moreover, it's my 4th time.
- 4th time? - Yeah, it's 4 times. I counted it.
I see...
4th time...
Do you have someone now?
Someone you like.
Well, I'm not sure.
Ah, you're such a playboy, Kuroiwa! Though you're like that!
- Despite of being like that! - Though I'm like this? What do you mean?
I know your address from your parents.
Sorry for coming suddenly like this.
Thank you for expressly coming...
...though you could actually send them instead.
I was always bothered by that.
- You know, the last time we met, I... - No, it was my fault.
I said such cruel things to you, Hijiri...
I can't marry you, Shotaro-san.
It's better to be alone after this...
...and lose everything.
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
Aah... it took me 3 years to finally come here.
That time, somehow...
...I wasn't like my usual self...
...and I did something foolish like that.
Me too.
If I think about it now, I was so arrogant...
...that I tried to control you before, Hijiri.
No, that's...
Well, I'm going back now.
The one who was together with you before, is he your...
Ah, Nogami-sensei? He's a homeroom teacher I'm currently assisting.
I see. Seems like he's a good person.
It's completely not like that. I don't have time for such thing now.
I think it's a good timing for both of us.
Soon...
...we have to face many different things and start to move on.
That's why...
...I wish you happiness, Hijiri.
How about you, Shotaro-san?
Do you have someone already?
Well, after this, I guess.
Good morning.
Morning.
Ah, have you heard about that?
Just like you said, in the long run...
...I think Asia Heavy Industry will be an excellent factory.
That's why we'll keep our deal with them.
No need to thank me for that.
I'm interested.
Huh?
About the contract's details?
It's about my superior who is so hard-working...
...but sometimes, her voice will tremble during presentations.
Though she isn't really good at drinking...
...she always listens to my grumblings...
...and accompanies me eating meat together.
When I hit rock bottom, she soothes me, makes me laugh again.
She stays by my side and supports me.
I'm attracted to you, Haraguchi-san...
...somehow.
How about this result?
I think it's pretty good this time.
Soon, we have to face many different things...
...and start to move on.
Planetarium?
Yeah, Sobafurukinokozu will perform too!
- Let's go there together, shall we? - Yeah.
Ah, but it's only until this week.
I can't go, I've got a memorial service to attend.
Me too. That day, I'll have mock exams...
Akira?
Long time no see.
- What's with this beautiful lady? - Congrats on entering university.
You're late. It's already half a year ago.
Unfortunately...
...I've already got a boyfriend.
Sorry for making you wait~
Could it be, she is your...
...Ex-girlfriend?
Hey, you should treasure me better!
Stop it. I understand.
- Okay? - Shaved head.
Well, let's cancel this then.
You all have your own plan anyway.
We can go, right? Just both of us.
Huh? Both of us?
What's that?
You like it, don't you?
As expected, he's such a black wolf.
Is it okay?
As expected from Kuroiwa.
Yeah.
Well, okay then.
So Akira went to meet up his old friends?
Yeah.
Seems like all the worries they had before are gone.
Glad to hear that.
It makes me relieved.
But if it becomes like that...
...I'm a little bit worried about whether he has heard any rumor about Sensei or not.
I remember she bought something when I saw her that day.
So I asked the shopkeeper.
I told the shopkeeper that she was perhaps my acquaintance...
...then the shopkeeper answered that...
...she was a teacher.
Teacher?
Because she was talking about putting something in the staff room.
So perhaps they were teachers from a school, he said.
It can't be that... she continued teaching?
That person?
Come on, go ahead.
We're arrived. Yeah, look.
Sensei, I can't take this one out.
Okay, okay, I'll help you.
Ah, that's really big, isn't it? Dig up, dig up.
Dig up more.
- Ah, that's big. - Really big!
Ugh. This one is really hard to take.
Sensei, you lame~
It's okay, you know, even though this is small.
Um...
...was it going well?
Sorry?
The person you met before.
Could it be that, he was your...
Yeah. We planned to get married before.
He expressly came here to meet me...
...and we could finally talk after a long time.
You two looked good together.
It's kinda strange that you two separated.
Well, many things happened.
I might misunderstand though, but...
Tachibana-san.
- Her lunchbox... - Ayano, do you forget to bring your lunchbox?
What? You forget it?
You can have this, then.
Mine too. Here.
Take this too.
I don't need it!
- Hey, what are you doing? - Tachibana-san.
Why? The salmon is delicious though...
Wait a sec. Okay, come on.
You can have the side dish too.
Well, that's all for today.
- Goodbye! - Take care on your way home.
- Yeah, take care. - Take care.
- Sensei, goodbye. - Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
See you, take care. Yeah, see you tomorrow.
About the lunchbox...
...let's talk to her mother, shall we?
Well, you're right.
Tachibana-san.
You got a lot today.
Tachibana-san, do you like sweet potato?
Please stop it!
- Mom... - Please stop it!
Shut up!
- Excuse me, are you okay? - It's a misunderstanding!
- Mom... - Please stop it!
Shut up!
- Excuse me, are you okay? - It's a misunderstanding!
No, it's not! Some people saw it too!
My husband came here over and over again!
I've told you, it's a misunderstanding.
- He just came here once to fix the water pipe... - How shameless!
- How dare you... - Wait, please stop!
How dare you...
Wait, please calm down! Please calm down!
This is none of your business!
- It was your fault! - Hey!
- It was your fault! - Mom...
- It was your fault! - Please stop it right now!
There's a child here, you know!
Please calm yourself down and have a proper talk.
There's no way I could have a proper talk with such person.
You did it before too, right?
You had affair with your husband's friend...
You're a divorcee...
...and everyone talks about that behind your back...
Who would believe in you!
Everyone in this town knows...
...about your past.
Some people never change.
They just keep doing what they committed in the past all over again!
Please stop!
If I ever heard my husband coming here again...
...you won't get away with it.
Are you alright?
Well, I'm used to things like this.
I'll help you.
Can you just go home, please?
- I'm really tired today, so.. - But Ayano-chan's lunchbox was...
Please go home.
Suenaga-sensei...
...let's excuse ourselves for now.
Okay.
See you.
Tachibana-san, see you.
Aren't you going home?
Well, I'll stay a bit longer.
I see.
Then, I'm going home.
- Okay, thank you for your hard work. - Thank you for your hard work.
Um, Suenaga-sensei.
About before...
...well, this is just my own thought, but...
...let bygones be bygones.
About Tachibana-san's mother...
...though people say we can't trust her anymore...
Well, in our life...
...it's natural to have something happened before, right?
A past, or failures...
...regrets.
A society that can't forgive someone's failures for a whole life...
...or a society that supports people who are doing their best at the moment...
...I wonder which one I want to show to the children.
If we think about it, I'm sure we only have one answer, right?
Suenaga-sensei...
...sometimes you seem to be very lonely.
There's no such thing like that.
You still can't forget him, can you?
No, about my marriage with him, I already...
No.
Not him.
But the high schooler you happened to see in the second-hand bookstore...
...the one who wore Seitoichi High School uniform.
Do you still...
...think of him?
400 years ago, even in this Tokyo...
...we could see so many stars like this.
A shooting star.
Hey, look.
I'm sorry.
A friend of my friend...
...works as a teacher in Koboshi Junior High...
...so I accidentally heard from him...
...about what happened.
Well, it's not that I want to criticize you or something...
...I just wish I can be of help to you.
I'm sorry that I investigated about you like this.
But if you want to talk about it...
...I'm ready to listen to you anytime.
I just want to tell you this.
3 years ago...
...I was supposed to get married.
However...
...I fell in love with someone else...
...and it was him.
It's already this late.
Let's go back. I'll take you home.
I want us to be together.
I don't want to go home.
Today... I want to be together with you. Just the two of us.
Why are you rushing like this?
It's rather delayed, isn't it? For several years...
He was...
...a student.
That's why, in order not to see each other again...
...I left him, like running away, but...
...many times...
...I remember...
...the figure of him I saw that day.
I'm glad that he seems to be doing well.
I'm glad...
...to see him laughed.
He worked so hard...
...that he could enter the best high school in this prefecture.
He straightforwardly faces the future.
I'm glad to know that.
But I'm the only one...
...who remains like that time...
...and can't move on yet.
How big.
Look, the bathroom is so big.
What the... what should I do?!
What should I do... Kuroiwa!
What are you doing?
What should I... I can't stop it.
I...
...want to see you take your clothes off, Kuroiwa.
I want to see it because I like you.
When we were in junior high, you saw it at the pool, right?
No, what I mean is not like that.
It was 100% my initiative that time...
...while you were thinking about Suenaga all the time...
I know that.
That time, I lost my mind...
...and to that extent...
...I fell in love...
...with Sensei.
How about now?
I never meet her anymore.
I'm sure...
...she is already married.
Just forget her.
I'll make you forget her.
You're moving on.
Suenaga-sensei...
...you are moving on properly.
I always look at you.
You came to this school...
...and face the students one by one.
You get along well with everyone...
...and also help the other teachers a lot.
The students' parents trust you as well.
You really do your best here.
Slowly, one step at a time...
...you are moving forward.
You'll be okay.
Thank you very much.
If...
...it's like that...
Sorry...
Well...
It's okay.
- Section chief, um... - See you tomorrow.
What? Wait...
Hey.
What is it?
Hey!
Not again.
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.
I had a hard time with your wife, you know.
She marched into my house and spoke as she pleased.
Next time, let's meet somewhere else.
Ayano?
It's okay, she's used to take care of the house.
Apart from that...
...there's an interesting teacher at her school.
I found someone good.
- Why do you... - I investigated.
After I heard that she continued teaching...
...I searched for the information everywhere.
That person... after she caused such uproar...
...how could she keep being a teacher?
How could she be forgiven after what she did?
