You all look so sleepy.
We were watching a DVD at Hoshi's place.
It was a really scary horror movie!
So everyone was so scared they couldn't sleep?
That's not it.
It wasn't that surprising.
But, it was scary.
What is it?
Ah, I felt like someone was watching me.
No one is there.
- Yeah. - Stop with the scary stories.
Nagase, you're so easily scared.
Morning.
What the hell? It's Mikuni.
- Don't scare us! - I was scared.
- Morning... - Isn't he a bit down?
Yeah, he's usually so happy.
Hmm?
That's amazing! We have so many people to Waseda University and
Keio University!
Ah, such a nice thing to see.
At this rate, we'll have one
of the best results in the whole country!
This year's senior class was really good.
It's thanks to the hard work of their homeroom teachers!
Great job!
Congratulations!
Good luck to our 2nd year teachers too.
Yes!
Yes...
We got some good grades in last month's mock exams.
But!
It seems like the grades in D class are the only ones to fall.
And especially in math, which is Mikuni-sensei's area.
I'm very sorry.
Next month, the 2nd years are going to be 3rd years studying for university exams.
We need our D homeroom teacher to do his best.
Yes.
Feel better, Mikuni-sensei.
Hmm?
If D class was the only one that got worse, then the results
in my class were actually pretty good!
- Tennoji-sensei. - Hmm?
Why are you talking like you're daydreaming?
But you just said...
No one passed from 2-Z!
What?
I don't think any of them applied to do it.
Ah, I see.
Stalker?
Probably.
Probably your imagination.
You said someone was watching you before, but no one was there.
Well, that was just then...
Besides, who would stalk Yui?
Yeah!
What do you mean!?
And anyways, girls always have crazy imaginations.
What?
You think that guys look at you like that anyway?
You guys actually think you understand a woman?
What?
That's why you aren't popular.
What now!?
What about it!?
Yui, did anything else happen?
Yeah.
I feel like someone has been watching me a couple times already.
Before...
On my way back home...
I felt like someone was following me along the way.
That's scary.
Is there anything else out of ordinary?
And then I got a call from a private number...
Hello?
A silent call.
- A stalker? - Maybe...
It sounds like the stalker is actually getting worse...
Yui, be careful.
- Really? - This is bad.
What can we do?
I can't forgive that guy!
What?
When it comes to this...
Morning!
Huh? What is it Kujo-kun?
Ah, nothing.
Okay. Let's start homeroom!
Go back! Take your seats.
Time for homeroom.
What is it?
I just thought of something good.
Math, English, and Japanese.
They've all fallen since last time.
Yeah.
What's wrong Kashiwabara? Are you feeling okay?
- I'm okay. - I see.
If anything is wrong, you just come talk to me.
- Uh... - What is it?
Ah, it's nothing.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Excuse me.
Mikuni-sensei.
- You're nice to your students. - Nice? Not really...
- I'll follow your example. - Follow what example?
I'll do my best!
- Ah, Tennoji-sensei. - Yes?
There's something
that I have to talk to you about.
What's wrong? You're so formal.
Actually, I'm...
Do you have time today?
Yeah.
- Catch the stalker!? - Yeah.
We just can't let him go.
Yeah, we can't let him get away with this.
It's not a big deal. I'm okay.
Ah, but Yui is a girl after all.
Oh, I completely forgot about that.
- What was that? - Ah, anyway,
just leave it to us.
Let's get the game plan ready.
- Yeah. - Hey!
I'm a little worried.
What's with that getup?
You don't get it?
When you think bodyguards, you think Security Police.
Yui, just go about your normal business.
We'll be following you.
If anyone suspicious shows up, we'll get them.
Ah...okay.
Okay everyone.
- Ready to go? - Yeah.
Time to start the plan to capture Yui's stalker.
Yeah.
We'll protect Yui's life.
Yeah!
- Haha! - All right!
So then, let's go over the plan!
They're definitely going about this the wrong way...
Don't knock it down!
What?! Mikuni-sensei you're quitting school?
Yes, after this term.
What! Really?
- This is very sudden. - Yes.
After being able to work in the same place as Tennoji-sensei,
it's quite regrettable.
That's why you've been down recently.
Yeah.
I see...hmm?
So that means...
All right! That annoying rival is gone!
Ow!
But if you quit school, your students will be sad.
I wonder.
What are you going to do after you leave?
I'd go back home to Kanazawa and take over the family sake brewery.
- Sake brewery in Kanazawa? - Yeah.
Hmm? Then does that mean...
- Mikuni Brewery!? - Yeah.
What! Isn't that a really old and famous one?
Oh, then you're the son of a famous family?
- Fa... - Mo...
- Us? - Famous? Not really...
- So you'll become the President then? - Ah, eventually for now.
It's always been my dream to get married and live in the country!
I'd love to live a life surrounded by sake!
I've always wanted to be the wife of the oldest in the family!
Ah, I see...
- Yes. - Yes. - Yes.
Man, you're all so easy to figure out. Right Mama?
Mikuni-sensei, I wonder if you're the type to worry about age?
- Mama? - Mama?
Hmm?
You guys! You're being rude to Mikuni-sensei.
Get to work. Back to work.
- That's Mama for you. - Ah, those girls.
You can't get all excited and swept away by the guests that come here.
That's the rule of our business!
- Just for tonight, okay? - Welcome.
- Just tonight. - Ah! Uh...
- Wakadanna-san, right? - Figured it out, eh?
- 5 today. - Welcome to Southern Sea.
Please wait a moment.
Mama! It's that musician, Wakadanna!
It's the first time I've seen him in person!
Autograph, autograph!
Excuse me, could I get your autograph?
- To Mama... - Thank you so much!
- I'm a big fan! - Really?
I touched him!
- Mama... - Mama...
Point A, nothing wrong.
Got it.
Got it!
Point B, nothing...
Ah!
What is it?
Yui!
She's petting a really cute dog!
Don't waste our time with that!
Come on...
That guy.
Point C, I've found someone suspicious.
Oh man! Let's go!
Stop screwing around with us!
Hmm?
Kitahama-sensei?
What?
What are you guys doing in that getup?
Ah, you're no stalker.
You confused us! - Confused?
- What are you doing here? - What? I'm going home!
I saw Sakurai so I figured I would talk with her.
Then someone decided to surprise me by grabbing my shoulder. Hey!
What are you guys doing?
- Nothing. - Not a thing.
- We're on our way home too. - Yeah.
Really!
Are you really?
- Yes. - Okay.
Well, it's late now, so hurry up and get home. Go!
- Yes. - Yes.
That was close.
That was surprising.
I didn't know you were going to quit.
Actually, I haven't told the school yet.
- What? - I can't do it for some reason.
I see.
But if you were always going to take over the place, why did you become a teacher?
It's not that I really wanted to become one.
Becoming a teacher...
is a way for me to run away from my dad.
- Run away? - Yeah.
My dad had decided ever since I was a child that I would take over.
But I hated that.
If I became a teacher, I'd learn more about the world,
so my dad let me do this for 5 years.
I see.
Shouldn't you just tell your dad how you feel then?
You don't want to take over.
My dad,
he's very strict.
It's sad to say, but I don't think I could stand up to my dad like that.
There's a sake brewer's convention here tomorrow.
He's going to stop by.
When he finds out I haven't told the school, he'll be upset.
Recently, I've actually thought it would be great
to stay on as a teacher.
- Really? - Yes.
It's not that I'm good at teaching math
or that I'm going to miss all my students.
I still need some more confidence but,
there's a kid in my class
who asked for my help in finding a girlfriend.
That was the first time that happened to me. It made me happy.
The stalker didn't come out.
- Well, I'm glad nothing happened. - Yeah.
Thanks everyone. I can take it from here.
- If anything happens, let us know. - Sure.
See you tomorrow.
Bye bye.
- Do it again tomorrow? - We didn't get him.
Yui?
What's wrong Yui?
I think someone is following me.
It's him!
What are you doing?
- You can't escape! - You stalker!
- You're wrong! - Wrong about what?
Show your face!
- Kashiwabara from class D? - What?
Why are you here?
Huh?
A love letter?
What are you guys doing?
I figured it was 2-Z again but
there's someone from 2-D involved too?
I'm sorry for all the trouble that was caused.
What are you doing?
Stalking a girl late at night?
- I'm sorry. - Ah well,
- he wasn't stalking. - That's right.
Kashiwabara-kun just wanted to confess his love to Sakurai-san.
That's not the problem!
- Things got worse. - Yeah.
Kashiwabara-kun.
You were in the top 5 in your year but
your grades plumetted in your last mock exam.
I'm a little worried.
If you just think about girls,
you won't be able to progress in your studies.
This is an important time now.
This isn't the time for love, okay?
- You can't just decide that... - You be quiet!
Don't waste your time with frivolous things
and focus on your studies for now!
You'll be a third year in a month!
Entrance exams are coming up!
Are you listening to me?
Kashiwabara?
Didn't you tell me Mikuni-sensei?
What?
You said to follow my heart!
Kashiwabara!
Mikuni-sensei! What did you tell him?
Ah...
You might have said a bit too much this time.
You're their homeroom teacher, why are you messing with your students' hearts?
I'm sorry.
This is kind of sad.
Kashiwabara-kun...and Mikuni-sensei.
Yui, it must've been tough.
- Huh? - Your stalker.
Kashiwabara from D, right?
The police arrested him.
- What? - Who said that?
Who? I guess it's a rumor.
Oh man, it's already exploded.
And that's not even what happened.
What, really?
- It's wrong? - What happened?
Kashiwabara just wanted to tell Yui he liked her.
- That's it? - But what about the mysterious call?
He called to confess but...
He couldn't do it and just hung up.
That's what happened...
- It's just not that easy to confess. - Right.
If I didn't think he was a stalker,
none of this would have happened.
We're the ones who made all this trouble, huh?
Ah, I think we did something wrong.
Oh, Kashiwabara.
Mikuni-sensei, is that enough for you?
Yeah.
What's going to happen to Kashiwabara?
At this rate, I'll have to leave early.
- Really? - Now I'm worried.
Mikuni-sensei.
Yes.
- We just got a call from Kashiwabara-kun's mother. - Oh?
It seems that he said he doesn't want to see your face again.
She's very angry at what happened
and feels that the responsibility for what happened falls on you.
He said it's because of your class
that he doesn't want to come to school anymore.
Ah, this is quite the problem!
- Really! - I'm very sorry.
That's a little much.
What did you tell Kashiwabara-kun?
Follow your heart?
Kashiwabara asked me for advice before.
"There's a girl I like, but what should I do?"
I don't think she would take me.
Should I just give up?
Do you like her?
Yeah.
So you shouldn't just give up like this.
You should go with your heart, right?
- But... - If you do that,
you'll have no regrets.
- Yeah. - Yep.
It was the first time I was asked for advice.
It made me happy. I figured I was doing something really good.
I think that's very good.
So that's when Kashiwabara-kun decided to confess to Sakurai-san.
Yeah.
But, I guess I was wrong.
What?
I ended up hurting him.
I've failed as a teacher.
That's not true!
Mikuni-sensei...
Excuse me.
I'm sorry, but you are?
I'm the father of one of your teachers, Mikuni Takeshi.
Dad!
What is it?
Mikuni-sensei's father?
I'm the vice principal, Tsuruhashi.
Vice principal? Thank you for taking care of my son.
Ah no, thank you.
Ah, why are you here today?
Work brought me here to Tokyo, so I wanted to say hello to all the teachers.
Ah, how courteous of you.
And, if you'd like, please have some.
A sake barrel?
It's from our personal Mikuni brewery.
Looks good.
- Is it all right to have some? - Of course.
Thank you everyone for the last 5 years of assistance,
I hope this properly conveys my gratitude as we go.
Hmm?
Ah, Dad, I haven't...
As we go?
It sounds like you're going to quit.
Yes, Takeshi will quit in April and take over my role in our company.
What?
What do you mean?
We haven't heard anything about this yet.
What! You haven't told them yet?
I haven't.
Do you know how much trouble
you have caused everyone!?
I'm sorry.
Mikuni-sensei? What have you done!?
Big news!
Mikuni is going to leave school.
- Why? - What happened?
I just heard.
Why is he quitting?
Is it because of Kashiwabara?
Uh, I think it was something about the family business.
- Right? - Yeah.
So he's really quitting.
It's just like your father said, if you knew about this earlier,
why didn't you tell anyone about it?
It's already March!
I'm very sorry.
It will be hard for us to find another teacher to replace you now!
I'm sorry.
Mikuni-sensei, maybe
because you were always going to succeed your father, you
really didn't care about job teaching here?
That's why all this mess with Kashiwabara-kun happened.
That's why this happened too, right?
I'm very sorry.
I'll hand in my resignation letter tomorrow.
Understood.
Mikuni-sensei.
Are you really going to quit like this?
Yes. There's no value in me continuning on as a teacher.
Why is that?
I've caused trouble for the school and hurt Kashiwabara.
But what you said to Kashiwabara-kun wasn't wrong.
It was wrong. It hurt him in the end.
Let's go visit Kashiwabara-kun.
What?
You need to talk to him.
- It's fine. - No it's not!
He said he didn't want to see my face again.
So you're just going to give up?
It's fine. I'm quitting.
Then Kashiwabara will come back to school.
Do you really think that's all right?
Yes.
Just an excuse.
Will he forgive us?
I don't know. I probably wouldn't. It's our fault.
Kashiwabara...
That's strange. I thought it would be around here.
What is she doing?
Will you listen to what I have to say?
I won't come near Sakurai-san anymore.
I'm sorry.
Wait a second Kashiwabara-kun!
Can you hear me?
It's nothing to be disappointed about.
I don't think you did anything wrong.
Finding the courage to confess to the girl you like,
it's something to be proud of!
You should tell the person you like how you really feel.
So be proud!
I don't think what Mikuni-sensei said was wrong.
But he feels like he hurt you in some way,
so he feels really bad for what happened.
Mikuni-sensei is going back to his family's company
and is going to quit school soon.
A teacher who thought so much about you,
can you really let him go like this?
Just like her.
She's even bothering people in other classes.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Come back to school!
Mikuni-sensei will be waiting.
Kashiwabara.
Sorry.
- Sorry. - Sorry.
We think what she said was right.
You didn't do anything wrong.
I'll be handing in my resignation letter to the school.
I see. I'll wait for you in Kanazawa.
Yes.
You don't have to see me off tomorrow.
Okay.
Everyone seems to want to be left alone.
Mikuni-sensei. Kashiwabara-kun too.
You really are a meddlesome person.
But that's who you are.
Is Misaki-san still worrying about her students?
She can't leave the people around her
alone when they need something.
She's become more and more like a teacher.
Yes, it's both happy and sad.
A complicated feeling.
Yeah.
I see.
You went to Kashiwabara-kun's place.
- Yeah. - Yep.
Wonder if he'll show up today.
I wonder too.
Kashiwabara-kun.
Are you running away?
Tennoji-sensei.
Are you running away?
Tennoji-sensei.
I know that's it not my place to
talk about your life but...
But...you can't run away.
Like you, I didn't intend to
become a teacher in the first place either.
At first I thought being a teacher was nice and easy.
But, after I tried it, it's actually
really hard.
You're not just teaching your students,
my students teach me a lot of things too.
I feel like I'm growing right along with my students.
That's why I love this job now.
It's the same for Mikuni-sensei, right?
Am I wrong?
Do you really think you can quit like this now?
Of course I don't.
I don't want to quit.
I want to stay a teacher!
Work right there with my students,
I want to do all I can as a teacher!
So you've always had these strong feelings?
Mikuni-sensei, you told Kashiwabara-kun, right?
Follow your heart.
And you won't have any regrets.
So why won't you do the same?
You need to do what you say!
Misaki-chan!
Teacher...
I'm sorry for yesterday.
I said some terrible things.
Kashiwabara...
He confessed to Yui just awhile ago.
Huh?
I like you
Sakurai-san.
Please go out with me.
I just don't have those feelings for you.
I'm sorry.
I was rejected but,
I'm glad to have actually done it.
I see.
It's just like you said.
Hmm?
I don't have any regrets.
I'll do my best with my studies now.
I see.
You told her how you felt.
Yes!
So...are you really leaving?
Ah...
Well...
Teacher!
Don't do it.
Your turn now.
Mikuni-sensei?
I'm going to meet my father.
Mikuni-sensei!
Hurry!
Okay!
Dad!
What is it?
I said you didn't need to see me off.
There's something I want to talk to you about.
Talk to me?
Uh...
I want to stay a teacher.
Please let me do so.
What are you saying?
At first, I became a teacher
just to run away from you.
I was not really being a good teacher back then.
But now, I'm actually able to connect with my students.
I want to see them keep on growing up!
I really think that I want to continue growing as a teacher.
This feeling...
Because of this feeling, I can't go with you.
Please let me continue on here!
Takeshi.
This is the first time I've actually heard how you feel.
Keep going until you're satsified.
If you come back to the brewery feeling like you're not done here,
it'll cause a problem for me there.
Dad...
Thank you very much!
You've changed.
Is it because of her?
So you're going to continue on as a teacher past April?
Yes!
Your father is okay with this?
Yes, he is.
Ah, what a pain!
After I started looking for a new teacher!
We found a few good candidates too.
I'm really sorry for all the trouble!
Mikuni-sensei. I'll need you to make sure you focus here.
Make sure you guide our students properly now.
- Yes. - Aren't you happy?
Looking forward to working with you still.
Yes!
Mikuni-sensei! I'm so happy!
That was close!
- Everyone was that worried? - Mikuni-sensei!
Maybe you can give us a discount on your sake?
- Me too. - Me also!
It's all because of you. Thanks a lot.
- I didn't do anything. - Ah, it's because you gave
me that talking to. It opened my eyes.
Really?
Yes.
Looking forward to working with you some more.
Me too. I'm looking forward to it.
And there's something else I figured out too.
Ah, at first I thought I just had a little
crush on you but actually...
Somehow, I think I'm in love...
She didn't hear me still!
Oh, so you're in love with Misaki-chan?
- I think he suits her. - Really?
He's in love!
You guys!
Ah! You guys! What are you doing?
Class is starting! Get back!
Back to the classroom!
Let's go! Hurry!
