Wow, what intensity!
Good morning. Good morning.
What are you eating? A mix of stuff.
Hey, how did it go? With the Teidai student?
He started staying at your house yesterday, right?
Is that your comfort food? Yup.
~Theme: "Ame Nochi Hallelujah" by Yuzu~
Week Two: Meeting "Yuu" for the First Time Episode 10
Suddenly, unexpectedly, or inevitably?
We don’t notice when it begins.
Things don’t always go as expected.
When that happens, all we can do is grin.
As the raindrops fall one by one, the colors of the town change,
and without an umbrella, I can sing to the rainy sky above.
I love you for who you are.
Please look up and let the light shine on your face.
So that the river of tears can return to the ocean.
Hallelujah! Everyone’s heart will make it through difficult times to the brighter days ahead.
Huh, Tsutenkaku was the student who came? Yup.
Ah, the disappointment must be excruciating!
Yeah, excruciating. But that's not all...
On top of that. he didn't remember me even in the slightest!
Ah, you must have been furious!
You understand? You get me, right? Of course I understand.
Oh, you're such a friend! Meiko...
Hey, we better get to class. We're gonna be late.
And there's even more!
(Kuma) Ahh...
He's not so scrawny after all... (Iku) You got that right.
Teru, you're back early. What about the deliveries?
Ah, Nishikado-san gave me a hand so...
You really helped me out there. It's no problem.
Please help me out again.
I will.
Nishikado-san, what should I call you?
"Yuutaro" works just fine. Ok then, Yuutaro-san.
It makes me feel good to see you clean up your plate like that.
That's because the food is so good here.
You're too kind. Your parents raised you correctly...
No no, it's because this table is nice and big. It makes it really easy to eat on.
You're too modest. Thank you so much for the food.
He's so deceiving in front of your parents.
"Terrible Tsutenkaku" Isn't he?
He's such a smart-ass, yet he does a complete 180 when he's in front of my parents.
I wanna get rid of him! Meiko.
He's so big, and his getas are like this...
Meiko, behind you. He's just in the way.
Please spit out what's in your mouth.
There's nothing in my mouth...nothing at all.
And what do you have in your sleeve?
Just my sewing kit. Oh, is that right?

Negishi Mie-san? Yes.
Nakamura Machiko-san. Yes. Here you are.
I wonder if I'm not cursed...
Uno Meiko-san
Oh...yes.
Here you are.
H...Huh? Please come see me in the teacher's room after class.
How'd it go?
I have to retake the test next week, and if I don't get a 50 or above
I'll fail the class. Fail?
Are you ok Meiko? I can't imagine it.
I can't imagine how in the world I can get a 50 or better.
If I got this many questions wrong...
Thank you.
One point?!
Gi...give it back!
Wow, good job getting only one point! ...huh?
I did the same thing when I was a kid.
Instead of getting a 100 on a test, it's a lot tougher to get only one point.
To write all the wrong answers except for just one.
I misread how many points the questions were worth, and ended up with a 3 instead.
Could it be that... you weren't trying to get a bad score?
Is it really that bad?
I'm in trouble.
I have to retake the test next week, and if I don't get at least a 50,
I'll fail the class.
Well, if it's ok with you I can give you a hand studying.
Really? Is that ok?
I mean, if all you have to do is get a 50, I don't think it'll be that hard.
Teidai students...
What if we try using a little bit less meat?
If we can shorten the time it takes to fry it,
then maybe the egg won't get heated as much by the time it's finished.
Yeah, but... if we do that and only worry about the egg,
then the meat around it will lose all its flavor, won't it?
Yeah, you're right.
Hey, Teru, do you have any ideas?
I'll refrigerate the eggs! No you won't.
Dad, can I have my dinner please.
Don't say anything to my parents.
About what? About me having to retake the test.
What they don't know won't hurt them.
If you don't get at least a 50, then they'll find out eventually anyway.
I know that much.
Umm... Yeah?
I want to double check what is covered on the test. It's up to here?
Is something wrong?
"Boys and girls shouldn't sit together once they hit 7 years old." (Old Japanese saying)
Boys and girls...
Forget about it.
It means you don't see me as a girl.
So in other words, you're saying that it's better for me
to be aware that I'm a guy and you're a girl, right?
Nevermind, let's get going. Ok, let's begin
by looking at heat conduction and specific heat. Ok.
(Meiko reading from the textbook)
Wow, I guess pigs really do fly.
"Which of the following choices show the greatest increase in volume?
Gas.
Liquid.
Solid.
Maybe this one?
The answer isn't written on my face.
Well, you got about half.
Really?
But you guessed on a lot of them, didn't you?
That's not true. If you really did understand the questions,
then there's no reason why you got the first one right, but the
second one wrong.
If all you're doing is guessing, then what's the point of studying?
If you don't understand something, you have to tell me.
What parts don't you get?
I dunno what parts... I don't get.
Sorry but, what does that even mean?
You're not sure what you don't understand...
That's it, I give up.
I give up. What?
Stuff like heat conduction and specific heat. They don't pertain to my life at all!
Whether I fail or not, it doesn't change a thing.
No matter which path I choose, I'll just end up being a housewife anyway...
Going to school is just for decoration anyway.
So who cares what happens.
Is that right?
(Tora) "Ouch! Ow!
please take it easy, will you."
"That's right. People who are good at studying
don't understand how other's feel who aren't good at it.
But he tried his best to teach you.
What a pain. "Huh? What a pain?"
I really wanna...
get married already.
Oh, Chiyo-chan's marriage proposal is already settled then?
Yeah. What about school then?
Of course, she'll quit. I see...
"Let me explain just a little bit...
During this time, it wasn't unusual for girls to get
married and drop out of school in the middle of the semester.
It's something that most girls were jealous of."
"If she were to get a marriage proposal, then retaking the test wouldn't matter...
and she could respectfully bid farewell to her studies.
Meiko was caught up
in her miserable daydreams...
Meiko.
How's the studying coming along?
Don't ask... I see...
Huh?
"There's something I want to talk to you about...
Today at 4 o'clock at Sougenji temple.
I'll be humbly awaiting your arrival."
...but amazingly, someone appeared who was stupid enough
to give a "love-letter" to this foolish girl..."
To be continued...
