Kei, wake up!
What?
Hurry up and get ready! This is a priority one!
W-What for?
The new school term starts today!
Wha--?
Ma'am, I'm gonna go on ahead!
No fair! A girl needs time to get ready!
A guy doesn't!
See ya!
Sheesh!
When we first met, I never would have imagined...
...that I'd be able to have a casual conversation like this with her.
That's right, me and my teacher... The two of us are...
I'm sorry, everyone.
I stopped by the hospital because I thought I was coming down with a cold.
Now, today is the beginning of a new school term.
You can't stay in summer vacation mode forever.
Please bear this in mind, especially those of you standing out in the hall.
All right?
No fair...
How about it, Mr. Kusanagi? Are we feeling a little bit sorry yet?
No, not one bit.
Heartless.
Liar.
It's your own fault for staying up late watching TV, Kei.
You were the one who forgot to set the alarm, Ma'am.
Kei, cleanup.
Sure.
Have I made myself clear, Mr. Kusanagi?
I'll think on it.
Sheesh...
She could've let it slide this one time, darn it...
He could've at least waited for me...
She's so immature.
He's such a child.
Miss Kazami...
Yes?
You're eating too much.
Summer vacation is finally over...
Yeah, you're right.
I was helping at our shop the whole time. What a sad way to spend a long vacation.
What's the story with you and Kusanagi?
It seems like a one-way street...
It's like he disappears every time I turn around.
I see...
But enough about me. How about you, Kaede?
You went on tons of dates with Hyosuke, right?
Y-Yeah...
Movies, the amusement park, shopping...
And we studied in the library, and even went to the aquarium two days ago.
Wow, you two sound pretty normal.
Have you stayed out all night?
O-Of course not!
Geez, what are you talking about, Ichigo?!
Isn't Hyosuke kind of a pain with all his yelling and screaming?
That's not true. He's really nice.
When we're alone, he's completely different from when we're all together.
He's more of a gentleman than I ever expected.
That is unexpected.
You don't have to say it like that!
Okay, then, how about you, Ichigo?
Me?
One win, one loss.
What's that mean?
You didn't have any storybook chance encounters?
Even if there were, nothing would come of it.
I'm never going to fall in love, anyway.
That's what I've decided.
Nobody's talking about that spaceship mess anymore, huh?
That stuff's a load of garbage. There's no way that aliens exist.
You were the one who was the most enthusiastic about it.
Hyosuke can't help it. His mind is filled with thoughts of Misumi.
You two are hitting it off?
Of course!
You know, with this and that, all the flags have been set!
I'm headed straight towards the true ending!
As if. You didn't even hold her hand...
How did you know that?!
You just told me.
Damn you!
Hey, hold on! Stop that!
I'm jealous... Hey, hold on! Stop that!
I want a girlfriend, too...
- You're desperate. - You're desperate.
That's it! I'm going to ask her out!
- Who? - Who?
Who else? I'm going to ask out Miss Mizuho, of course!
- Are you for real? - Are you for real?
Okay, see you tomorrow.
Yeah.
Kaede is so lucky...
Maybe I'm a little jealous.
Then why don't you just ask him out, Koishi?
Why do you want to play matchmaker so badly for me and Kei, Ichigo?
Because you irritate me.
If you want to be his girlfriend, you should just act on it.
Ichigo?
I'm sorry, that's a lie.
When people are in a relationship, doesn't it seem like they're moving forward?
I want to keep watching that.
What's that about?
You sound like a middle-aged woman obsessed with arranging marriages!
Maybe so.
But it's just like you said, Ichigo.
If you don't act, nothing will ever happen.
You have to tell me if you're going to be late.
I ate dinner without you.
Sorry.
It was the first time I'd seen Hyosuke and the guys in a while, and we got to talking.
Well, I guess that's okay...
You aren't still mad about this morning, are you?
No, it's not that...
What, is something wrong?
Um...
Matagu was saying...
Matagu? Mr. Shidou, you mean?
Yeah. That Matagu.
He said... that he was going to ask you out.
At least, that's what I heard...
I see... Mr. Shidou...
Well, he's a diligent boy. His grades aren't that bad, either.
It always comes down to grades with teachers, doesn't it?
You worry too much.
You might be right...
But he's really perverted. So much you could say it's sick.
Oh, so now you're badmouthing your friends?
I call them as I see them, that's all.
Could it just possibly be that you're jealous?
That's not it...
I'm done.
It's your turn to do the cleaning today, Kei.
I know that.
How can you eat so much after a meal?
Sweets go into a different stomach.
You'll start growing in all the wrong places.
You're terrible! I'm worried about that!
It's just a warning.
Sheesh!
Maybe you should spend more time worrying about your grades than my figure.
Oh, so that's how you want it.
Yes, it is!
What's her problem?
What's his problem?
Hello?
Kei? You have a phone call from a girl in your class.
Oh, okay. Thanks.
Yes, hello?
Kei? It's me, Koishi.
Oh, hi, Herikawa.
What's up?
Huh? Now?
No, I don't mind.
Yeah... Uh-huh...
Got it. See ya.
What did Miss Herikawa want?
She said she had to talk to me about something.
Right now?
Yeah, that's right. Something wrong with that?
No, not really.
Could it just possibly be that you're jealous?
Of course not!
Then, it's fine, right?
Hello, this is Kazami.
Oh, Mr. Shidou.
Matagu?
Is something wrong? Why are you calling at this hour?
Is there something in your homework that you don't understand?
Oh, I see...
All right, then, why don't I go see you right now?
I let my emotions carry me out the door,
...but if Herikawa picks up where she left off last time...
If Mr. Shidou asks me out, just like Kei told me...
What should I do?
What in the world should I do?
Kei.
Hi.
Ma'am...
Good evening.
- What should I do? - What should I do?
I'm sorry I called you out so late.
That's okay. So, what did you want to talk about?
Well...
Kei, you disappear a lot, you know that?
You just vanish into thin air...
Well, I'm busy with all sorts of things...
And my grades aren't all that great, either...
I see...
Yeah...
Um...
Yeah?
Well...
Um, Herikawa...
I'm kinda pressed for time.
I'm sorry, but I think I should get--
H-Herikawa?
H-Hey...
I've never felt this way before!
I don't know what to do!
I want to do more than just look at you.
I want to be more than just a classmate.
It's not enough to just walk together with you!
My heart pounds every day.
But I want it to pound even harder...
I love you.
Herikawa...
I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
So do whatever you want, Kei...
I'm sorry, Herikawa.
I have someone that I'm in love with.
I don't want to be separated from her.
I argue with her over the stupidest things, and she's always making me feel inferior...
But in spite of all that, I want to be together with her.
Who is she?
I can't say. I'm sorry.
I see...
I'm sorry I've been so noncommittal with you all this time.
I never had any confidence in myself.
But you made me realize that I'm just fine the way I am, so...
So... Um...
It's all right.
Herikawa...
You're pressed for time, right?
Scoot!
Hurry.
Y-Yeah, right...
Ma'am!
Ke-- Mr. Kusanagi?
Hey, care to join us, Kei?
Studying.
I...
I just... got shot down.
This stinks...
Human-powered aircraft don't always get off the ground.
Huh?
Of course, it's the best feeling in the world if it does.
But the process of making it is fun, too.
It's not just the end result that's important, but the process, as well.
At least, that's what I think.
How was it, Herikawa?
Was it fun?
Yeah, it was really exciting.
I see...
I'm amazed.
I've never seen you this talkative, sir.
I-It happens on occasion. Only rarely, but it happens.
Wow, it sure is hot for this time of night...
Sir? You might be popular with the girls if you cut your hair and shaved that stubble.
You think?
Probably.
You don't say...
Hm... I see...
That's really funny... Sir, you're actually thinking about it...
You're really funny, sir...
I hurt Herikawa.
I told her that I was in love with someone.
I see...
I'm hurting other people's feelings by being with you, Ma'am.
Herikawa, and Maho...
That's why it's a little tough on me...
You're not going to do anything, then?
You're going to care for someone by lying to your heart?
I couldn't bear to do that.
Sadness exists everywhere. That's why I want to be happy.
That may be selfish, but I can't lie to my heart.
I want to be together with you.
Being together... That means moving forward.
Yes.
Even if something sad happens.
Yes.
I see...
Maybe I fell into a standstill, not because I was depressed,
...but because I wanted to escape from things I didn't want to deal with.
Isn't that pathetic?
When you're alone, it's not strange to feel that way.
But right now, you're not alone.
Ma'am...
Let's go forward. Let's move forward together.
Together...
Yes, together.
For us, that's a priority one.
I turned the TV off.
And I've made sure the alarm clock is turned on.
Someone falling in love with someone...
It's the same for me.
Even if it means that I'll make someone sad...
...because I fell in love with someone,
I...
...want to be together with her.
I don't want to stand still anymore.
I don't want to be away from you. I don't want to let you go.
And even if it means that I'll hurt someone because of it,
...right here and now, I'll be together with you under these stars.
You have to watch the next episode, too!
This is a priority one!
Ma'am, it's just too hard to live this way.
Your main job is to watch over the Earth,
...so when your tour is over, I'm sure you'll go back to your home planet.
And stuff like our life spans and growth speeds may be different...
So I just can't--
You won't come to a standstill? Can you keep moving forward?
I'll move forward... It just won't be in the same direction as you, Ma'am.
Next time on Onegai Teacher!
"Let's End It Now"
You have to check it out! This is a priority one!
