That widow told on me?
Watch your words!
Ms. Otonashi told me because she was concerned about you.
Unforgivable! I will never forgive her!
How dare she tell on me!
If that's the way she's going to play...
It's all out war!
They can't complain if my test score improves.
That widow's "concerned"?
All she wants to do
is to take Mr. Godai away from me.
Well, I'm not losing to her!
Manager, see you!
Bye!
I wonder why he's so peppy?
Maybe 'cause that girl hasn't been here lately.
Come to think of it, she didn't come at all last week.
I'm going to hand out the comparative scores
from the mock test you took the other day.
Aoki... Akazawa... Akiyama...
Sato...
Shimamoto...
And Shimizu...
How did you do?
Bad.
Look how much I've improved!
I envy you.
If my parents see my score, no dinner for me tonight.
Mita... Minakami... Minagawa... Yagami...
Yagami?
Next is Chiba...
Yes. This is... Yamagiwa.
Yamagiwa. Watanabe...
How did you do, Yagami?
Yay!
You're back at the top of the class!
Way to go, Yagami!
Manager!
Huh?
Hi, Yagami. Are you being tutored today?
No. I just wanted to show you something.
My mock exam score improved.
Why did you come to show me this?
Oh? I thought you were "concerned" about me.
I understand you even told my teacher on me.
Your "concern" wasn't necessary after all, was it?
I never--!
It doesn't matter how you did it.
The bottom line is you told on me.
Yagami, you look pretty worn out.
You must have pushed yourself hard to study.
I sure did for Mr. Godai's sake.
Why, you little--!
I'm ba--!
Welcome home. Where are you going?
I didn't know you were here.
Her test score improved.
That's right.
Now you can resume being my tuto-
H-Hey!
What are you doing, Yagami?!
I think it's just lack of sleep.
Sorry to trouble you.
It's okay.
It's amazing what young people can put themselves through.
That's just her personality.
Thank you very much.
Mr. Godai.
I'll walk you to the station. I don't want you to collapse again.
Really?!
M-May I?
You have to do what you have to do.
You don't have to ask her for permission!
Geez!
Don't bother seeing us off, Manager.
Let's go, Mr. Godai.
Hey! Don't get so close!
But I don't know when I might collapse again.
Liar!
She's starting up again?
Who knows.
Huh?
No? Shucks. It woulda been fun.
I couldn't be so assertive.
Even when I was Yagami's age, I wasn't like that.
I guess that's her personality.
Besides
I didn't have a single rival when I was pursuing Soichiro.
"Rival"?
Who am I kidding? ! Why would I-
I forgot to go grocery shopping for dinner!
Now that I've gotten over the major roadblock...
...all I have to do is to get that widow out of the picture.
This will be self-study time.
Please ask Mr. Godai if you have any questions.
That'll be all.
Yes, Mr. Yotsuya!
What's wrong with this situation?
Mr. Godai, I have a question.
Please ask Mr. Yotsuya.
But--
Let me take this opportunity to remind you
that I'm not your tutor anymore!
I don't want to hear any more "Mr. Godai" from you.
I see.
Then... Yusaku?
I've brought you some tea.
D-Did you hear what she just said?
Manager, please don't bother.
I've brought my own tea and cake for us.
From now on, your refreshments will be absolutely unnecessary.
Please.
Thanks.
Please!
So much cake--so little time!
This is no time for a dumb joke.
Come in, please.
Cake? Looks great.
Hey!
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I knew it. You're in love with Mr. Godai.
Yagami, stop it. W-What're you saying?
It's true. I'm sure of it.
Otherwise, why would she try to stop me?
What do you think?
I dunno.
C'mon. They're duking it out at the same level.
She walked out.
Mr. Godai!
Let 'em go.
I can't leave those two alone now!
Don't worry.
Nothing's gonna happen.
Manager.
Um...
Please don't listen to them.
I'm sorry for acting so immature.
No... Please...
I should know better
than to let a high school girl get to me.
Huh?
Manager.
Manager...
So that'll be that.
Yeah.
I wish they continued in spite of us.
I guess they don't like to be in the public eye.
Do you mind--?!
Looks like it's gonna be another hot day.
I'm off!
Bye.
Hey, everyone!
Yotsuya got paid for tutoring that girl Yagami.
Let's have a party at Chachamaru tonight!
Sounds great!
Godai, are you free tonight?
I'll be there for sure!
He owes me one, anyway.
I'm not paying.
You're coming too, aren't you, Manager?
Me?
C'mon! Let's go! Let's drink together!
I'M NOT PAYING!
We'll straighten that out later.
Let's party!
What's Yagami doing here?
Manager, what's the matter?
Yagami, you're still in high school, aren't you?
Is that a problem?
I don't think it's appropriate
for a high school student to be in a place like this.
Are you going to tell on me again?
Of course not.
Chachamaru. Godai? Hi.
I see. I'll give them the message. Bye.
Godai said he may not be able to make it tonight
because he has to go out with his preschool co-workers.
How could he?!
He'd leave me here to go out with his co-workers?!
Hey!
I need a drink!
He can't help it.
Sometimes, you have to go along with your co-workers.
Master, beer please!
R-Really?
Let her drink some soy sauce.
I know you're disappointed, too.
Not me.
You're such a liar!
What are you talking about?
If you love him, why don't you admit it?
It's so selfish to pretend you don't love him
and expect him to love you.
When did I ever--?
All the time.
Or would it somehow put you in a bad position
if others should find out?
Why do you always try to pick a fight with me?
I hate people who aren't upfront.
You love him, don't you?
Huh? Answer me!
Shall I tell you the truth?
I kissed Mr. Godai.
No I didn't!
See? It's obvious you want him for yourself.
I'll have another beer!
I'm not paying.
Let's just get this straight.
You're afraid you'll lose to me.
Coward!
Faker!
Wimp!
You're not wrong.
I am afraid.
You can't be in love
if you're afraid of getting your heart broken.
I'm not afraid of heartbreak.
I'm afraid that maybe everything was a lie.
That's what I'm afraid of...
What are you babbling about?
You're drunk, aren't you?
I sure am.
I just can't get into the mood tonight.
Shall we call it a night?
Yes! I agree, I say!
I haven't had enough to drink, but all right, I guess.
Let's wrap it up!
Sorry to be so late!
Yay! Mr. Godai!!
I've been waiting for you!
What're you doing here, Yagami?
Manager, I'm going to take Yagami to the station.
Good night!
H-Hey!
Bye-bye!
So who ended up paying?
I dunno.
I'm not paying.
Oh well.
It's simple for you, Yagami.
He's your first love, isn't he?
Ms. Kamiyogi, here are the worksheets.
Thank you.
Yagami, is Mr. Godai still tutoring you?
Well, yes. It's not a problem, is it?
It's not affecting my grades.
It's fine, but I hope you're not troubling Ms. Otonashi.
Probably, because that wido--
that manager's in love with Mr. Godai.
Is that right? I had no idea.
It's obvious, if you watch her behavior.
She tries so hard to hide it.
She's so wishy-washy.
If what you're saying is true, it's very much like her.
She's too serious and rather inflexible.
She was very much in love with her husband.
There are many truths in this world
but she's the type to believe that there is only one truth.
So if she falls in love with another man
she'd think that her love for her husband was not true.
That would be her conclusion.
I hate that kind of thinking.
It just means she doesn't have guts.
You wouldn't understand.
Well, I'll see you later.
Don't give Ms. Otonashi too much trouble.
Bye.
So she loves Mr. Godai as much as her husband...?
I'm afraid that maybe everything was a lie.
Maybe I said too much to her the other day.
I hope she's not dwelling on what I said.
I better cheer her up.
Coward!
What? ! You're Mr. Godai's grandma?!
She's here because she's worried about his job hunt.
Nice to meet you! I'm his girlfriend, Yagami.
H-How dare you say that, Yagami!
This is getting more and more interesting!
Next time: "Even Yagami is Shocked! The Return of Gold-Toothed Grandma!"
Let's have a wild party!
