The pitcher winds up...
A hit! The ball's flying!
Straight to the top deck of the right field stands!
A grand slam...
She's totally different when we're at school...
What?
N-Nothing...
You know, Kei...
Your grades are... pretty bad.
I tended to miss school because of my illness.
I'll look over your studying when I'm done grading.
Let's work together this Sunday.
All right.
I understand now.
Marriage is where parts you don't normally see...
...pour out into the open.
- Kusanagi? - Yes.
Kusanagi, are you listening to my lecture?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Write down the correct answers and resubmit it.
You bombed again, huh?
And what about you?
Well, I'm about here.
For real?
Apparently, Hyosuke's ranked 3rd in our class.
- One of the 7 World Wonders. - That might be a little much.
When in the world is Hyosuke studying?
Don't be so down.
Want to check answers with me?
That would help.
Well, the first question...
What?
- Nothing. - Nothing.
Okimoto.
And the next one, um...
Ms. Kazami?
Oh, s-sorry.
Don't be so depressed.
No, it's not that.
I'm not worried about the test.
By the way, when you resubmitted it...
...you saw Ms. Kazami, right?
- Did she say something? - Not really.
Man, how boring.
You'd rather there be something?
Of course not!
Which comment is true?
Oh, man...
I want to have a personal chat with Ms. Kazami, too.
Yeah, really.
I should've done worse on that test.
That's really conceited.
Kei?
You seem to be spaced out.
No, not really.
Then it's all right.
There is one new message.
First message.
Kei? It's Mizuho.
There's a teacher's meeting today, so I'll be late.
I'm sorry, but have dinner at Minoru's place.
I'll let Konoha know.
End of message.
What, you're already in the doldrums?
It's only been a week since you started living with Ms. Kazami.
She's just late because of a teacher's meeting.
Well? Is it going well?
Rather, this problem may be more fundamental.
I'll get it.
Edajima residence.
Excuse me, my name is Herikawa.
Is Kusanagi...
Speaking.
Kei?
What's up?
Ichigo has movie tickets and was wondering if we could all go.
Sure, when?
Tomorrow.
Let's do our best on Sunday, too.
T-Tomorrow...
Do you have plans already?
No, it's fine.
I'm so glad!
Then the bus stop at 10:00?
Oh, 10:00?
- All right. - See ya.
Past the doldrums straight into an affair?
Isn't it a little early for that?
How do you jump to these conclusions?
A beautiful, older teacher and a fresh, new high school girl...
I'm not jealous.
I have a beautiful and adorable wife.
Isn't it a little late, all things considered?
I'm home...
Welcome home.
Yup, I'm back.
You went out drinking?
It was a natural string of events from the meeting.
Are you all right?
Somehow.
- Want some water? - Yes, please.
Earthlings are strange in that they consume alcohol.
If you get drunk easily, you don't have to drink.
I can't help it.
Adults have their social reasons.
Here.
Thanks.
Even aliens value being social...
Of course.
Communication is a valuable way to understand each other.
Dialogue is priority one for this universe.
For that...
No, nothing.
I'll go change.
Kei, did you do your homework?
Yeah.
Then I'll look at it after I change.
It's all right.
You seem tired.
And what we can do at school, we should do there.
Kei, students need to listen to their teachers.
This isn't school.
You have to.
N-No, you really should rest.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going out with Hyosuke and the others tomorrow.
Why?
What about studying...
You have your social obligations,
and I have my own to my friends.
Your words sound rather pointed.
That's not true.
Maybe you're acting strange.
Study this and study that...
I'm in charge of your class, Kei.
All your friends were worried about you...
...and Minoru and Konoha told me to look out for you.
What's with that?
What?
I've done everything myself till now.
I don't need your concern.
Kei...
Good night.
I'm sleeping next door tonight.
Kei...
I'm such a kid.
I knew this would happen, but somehow I expected...
...something to happen, something to change.
We weren't in love in the first place,
and one thing led to another.
Oh, no!
At this rate, I'll have a standstill...
I'm having fun with everyone.
With Hyosuke, Matagu, and the others!
Because I'm an idiot...
Yes?
Herikawa...
Good morning!
You're early.
They changed the meeting place to the station.
Ichigo said to pick you up since she forgot to tell you.
I see.
Then can you wait a bit?
Sure!
But why the station all of a sudden?
I didn't hear the details...
He said he was going with them all,
but only Herikawa is there.
What does this mean?
What?
Why are you still home, Kaede?
Why you ask, but Ichigo...
I get irritated watching you.
What's that mean?
You know what I mean.
- I'm hanging up. - Oh, wait, Ichigo!
Is it all right?
Well, let's get going.
Get going where?
Why is she irritated?
It's not like I...
Thanks for waiting.
How'd it go?
It looks like they set us up.
Their little prank.
It turns out that they've fooled us.
What now?
That's what I was going to ask.
We came this far, so should we go on?
Sure!
Is the train coming soon?
So it is a date, after all.
Marie, target Kei as your destination.
Priority one.
Priority one!
It's been a while since we've come.
Yeah.
What kind do you like?
You like action movies, right?
How do you know?
I just expected it.
But we still have time before the next one.
Then why don't we go look around?
- Yeah. - Let's go!
It's almost summer break.
- Yeah. - Kei, do you have any plans?
Not really.
I see.
Is something wrong?
Oh, nothing.
The movie's starting soon.
Oh, already?
I get irritated watching you, Koishi.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Is it all right to do this?
We have to make sure the plans are going right.
And what's with that digital camera?
We need proof, right?
Why do we need proof?
Even so, there's no guarantee Koishi is watching this movie.
It's all right.
If it's Koishi, it's got to be this.
You're sure of things.
Looks like it's done.
That woman in sunglasses.
She looks suspicious.
She looks like Ms. Kazami.
She does, but it can't be...
Ms. Kazami!
Maybe it's someone else?
Ms. Kazami, the principal's calling you!
- See? - You're right.
What am I doing?
I'm a surveillance officer for the Galaxy Federation...
But...
After all...
Sorry.
S-Sorry...
Ms. Kazami!
H-Hello.
You came to watch movies, too?
Yes...
Can it be that you saw this movie?
Oh, yes, I did.
I can't get enough.
You look suspicious dressed like that.
Y-You think so?
It looks like you've been following someone.
That can't be.
Is that true?
I'm sorry.
It's just as you said.
I was following you.
Well, you are frail, and your uncle was worried about you...
So I wanted to do everything I could as your teacher...
Oh, so that's what's going on.
Sorry, Herikawa, but I'm going home.
It's the weekend, right?
It's not even a school day, and I don't want to trouble my teacher.
I'll make this up to you.
- Oh, sure. - See ya.
U-Um...
Kusanagi!
So strange.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
No.
I hadn't expected this to happen.
What should we do?
We go before they find us.
Y-You're right.
What are you going to do, Ms. Kazami?
Huh? Ms. Kazami?
Kei!
Wait, Kei!
I'm sorry for spying on you like that.
You don't have to apologize. It's your job, right?
It's tough being a teacher.
You're an adult, a teacher.
I understand that you're my guardian since I'm a frail student.
Listen to me.
I don't want to!
Why are you so stubborn?
I'm a kid, after all.
Kei!
Kei...
I...
I don't want it to be like this.
I...
It's so far...
She's so close...
I can almost touch her if I reach out...
But she's so far away.
I...
I see.
It's been a while since the last standstill.
I wonder how long I stopped for.
Where's Ms. Kazami?
Of course she wouldn't be here after what I said...
I'm really disgusted at what a kid I am.
Even space stopped?
You're...
Kei.
Ms. Kazami.
I'm glad you woke up.
Are you all right?
- I've got a damp handkerchief. - No, I'm fine.
I'm glad.
Ms. Kazami!
I...
You and I...
You...
If I don't say it, I can't move forward. I'll stop again.
To prevent that, I need to move.
Even if it's toward a horrible future.
Ms. Kazami.
What?
Do you enjoy being with me?
I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I honestly don't know.
But...
Today, I thought it wouldn't be the same without you.
When I saw you together with Herikawa, I was irritated.
So I think that I was rather lonely.
Ms. Kazami...
I may be an adult, a teacher...
But before that, Kei, I'm your...
Why?
I'm sorry.
I'm a little shy.
You know...
I really don't understand it all.
Really?
I want to know how you feel.
You don't want to?
In a place like this?
We haven't done anything.
Actually, we have...
We've what?
Kissed.
I'm sorry.
When?
Just before...
Just before?
No way.
I was in a standstill.
Really?
I'm sorry.
No way...
It was my first time.
Same here.
It was my first, too.
Ms. Kazami...
Let's go home.
Yes.
You can see too much of someone and stop understanding.
I think I realized that for the first time.
That it's not just words.
You have to watch next time, too.
This is priority one.
We were on a South Pacific island.
Nobody here knows about our relationship.
That she's an alien, or about my standstills.
Today, I will become one with Kei.
That time is fast approaching.
Hyosuke and the others are here!
Why?
I don't know...
I don't know, but it's a problem!
Next on Onegai Teacher.
You have to check it out.
This is priority one.
