Let's All Play Together.
But...
Moriya-sensei.
Kimura-sensei.
Congratulations...
...on your marriage!
Kimura the Japanese teacher and Moriya the health teacher.
They've really got guts.
Especially Moriya.
Guts?

Any questions so far?
All right...
How long have you and Kimura-sensei been together?
Did pistil meet stamen?
Had a visit from the stork yet?
Have you brought a bundle back from the cabbage patch?
Uh...
When are you guys having kids?!
That's about what I'd expect.
Talk about a lawless zone...
Tell us, Kimura-sensei,
how did you and Moriya-sensei start dating?
We both grew up in the country.
We got to talking about that, and we hit it off, I guess.
You had similar origins, then.
Yes.
Oh, Moriya-sensei!
Would you like to eat lunch together?
Ah, but...
Let's go.
They're so in love!
In love...
You can't help but envy the bride-to-be.
Isn't she lucky?
Yes.
I-I don't...
Not my thing.
Wasn't it your dream in grade school
to be a bride someday?
When the hell was that?!
When we were learning our times tables!
There's someone who looks
like a bride over there.
Morya!
She's so cute!
Wh-Who is it?!
It seems as though she can't speak.
Morya!
Being so young, her consciousness is hazy.
She recalls very little about her life.
Things could take a bad turn, at this rate.
What do you mean?
Ghosts exist on this plane because they have
a lingering attachment to someone or something.
But I believe this girl is losing even her memories of that.
Then...
With the passage of time,
she may one day vanish before her last wish is fulfilled.
O-Oh, no! What should we do?
Morya?
Then let's make new ones!
New bonds that she can call new memories!
But I said something good, didn't I?
Yeah, but it just...
...pissed me off, somehow.
Okay!
Let's teach her to speak!
Huh?
It's better if she can talk to us, right?
And maybe...
Big brother.
...she'll even call me that!
That's the doofus Yamada.
Morya?
Amami!
Ogawa!
Doofus Yamada!
Doofus?
She's a quick learner!
And this is the Flame-Haired Messiah!
I really like that humans can be punched.
Uehara-san!
That's Inoue Narumi.
Hey—
Narumi!
That's "Narumi-san"! I'm older than you!
She got all sweet with her back turned.
Looks like she's really taken to her.
Gozaru, gozaru, gozaru, gozaru...
What're you trying to imprint in her mind, topknot?
I'm in the minority. I couldn't resist...
Gojaru!
Let's learn how to greet people today.
'Kay!
Hello!
Very good.
Narumi!
Inoue-san!
Wh-What? Quit staring at me!
F-F-...
F-F-F...
Farewell!
Farewell?
That's another way to say goodbye.
Oh.
Farewell!
I bought some for her, too.
Now we say "thank you."
Thank you.
Oh, shoot! That was coffee.
My bad.
Don't teach her that! Say "I'm sorry"!
I'm sorry.
She's being taught instead?
Sheesh...
I didn't mean any harm.
Be more careful.
Hey!
Word Chain Tournament
Let's have a word chain tournament!
What starts with "M"?
Morya!
Animal!
Lather!
Rum.
Morya!
They're too easy on her.
It's fun being with everyone!
Yes, it is.
Everyone's so big!
Like, tall?
Well, we're grown-ups.
She's really learned to speak well.
Yeah.
She still can't remember anything, though, can she?
No.
Morya!
We still haven't figured out what that means.
Who cares if she can't remember?
She's got us as her friends now!
I said something good, didn't I?
Yeah, but it still...
...pissed me off, somehow.
Look, it's the teachers.
They're totally in love, as usual.
Mori...ya?
Moriya!
Moriya, Moriya...
Moriya, Moriya, Moriya...
So, how does she know Moriya-sensei?
Moriya's actually possessed.
She was actually his secret love child.
Sh-She's actually his guardian angel...
Has she remembered anything else?
No, not yet.
Maybe we should just let her meet Moriya face-to-face?
I cannot recommend that course of action.
Why not?
As we do not yet know who the girl truly is,
we cannot predict what will happen.
In the unlikely event that Moriya-dono were to be harmed...
How is this gonna harm anyone?
Moriya!
I said it was unlikely!
Y-You're right.
Moriya-sensei and Kimura-sensei are preparing for their wedding.
We shouldn't make a fuss.
Then I'll do some research
and find out how Moriya-sensei and she are linked!
I didn't find a thing!
Don't try to gloss over it with that grin.
At least act a little bit apologetic.
S-Sorry...
Nothing, huh?
W-We'll go try to find out.
What?
But...
I-It's not for you or anything.
It's for Moriya-sensei and Kimura-sensei.
Tsundere, tsundere!
Don't teach her words like that!
Well, let's get to it.
Keep her company, Amami.
Oh, sure.
Everyone's busy?
Why don't the two of us play?
U-Um...
Amami-san?
Is something wrong?
You look upset about something.
Moriya!
Faculty Room
Da-dum, da-dum...
Da-dum...
Shut up!
You'll blow our cover.
Sorry, I couldn't resist...
Will you guys be quiet?
If the teachers catch us, we'll be in trouble.
In trouble for what?
Dinner's almost ready.
O-Okay, thanks...
I-It really is a ghost...
Yes. I'm sorry to have you spend time with her.
Oh, it's fine. I mean, she's not exactly scary.
Besides...
She seems familiar, for some reason.
All done! Eat up!
A little girl's ghost wants to see Moriya-sensei?
Y-Yes.
She keeps saying "Moriya, Moriya," over and over.
Do you know what she looks like?
She's got long hair and wears a white dress.
No, it's not a dress.
It's more like those gowns you wear at a hospital.
This is her.
It can't be...
He was... Moriya-sensei was actually quite sickly as a child.
He visited the hospital quite often.
Once, he was admitted for a fairly long time.
When he did, he shared a room with a little girl.
They were about the same age,
so they became fast friends and played together a lot.
But sadly, she was much sicker than he was.
Thank you for dinner.
My pleasure.
Moriya-sensei, thank you so much for today.
Oh, don't mention it.
It was fun experiencing something so unusal.
Moriya.
What should we play tomorrow?
I'm sorry. I can't play tomorrow.
Why not?
I'm getting married.
Moriya, you're getting married?
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
You're big now, aren't you?
You're all grown up.
You can eat your carrots now.
Huh?
So she...
She said it must be the girl Moriya-sensei met in the hospital when he was little.
If her ghost is still a child, then...
Yeah.
A-Aren't we gonna play with her today?
I'm saying I'll play with her!
Inoue-san...
She's trying so hard.
And trying not to show it.
What should we play, then?
Okay, let's play kick-the-can!
You're it!
Go get it!
We're starting already?
Amami?
Would you like to play with us?
Narumi.
Ogawa.
Uehara.
Messiah.
Don't call me Messiah.
Doofus Yamada!
Don't call me Doofus!
Let's all play together!
Cut it out!
We played a lot today, didn't we?
Yeah!
Did you have fun?
Yeah!
Good.
Um...
Listen...
If...
If you don't mind...
Can...
Can you...
Can you stay here forever?
Promise?
Yeah. Promise.
Was that...
That's how she sleeps?!
Shall we go back to bed?
No...
Farewell, gozaru.
Good luck.
Amami.
Thank you all for playing with me.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Congratulations!
Moriya!
When we grow up...
You're all grown up.
When we're...
...grown up...
You're so handsome now.
We'll meet again!
I'm sorry I couldn't keep our promise.
But...
I still love you, Moriya!
Bye-bye! Farewell!
We'll take it slow.
We'll make lots of stops on the way,
get lots of souvenirs...
And someday, we'll go and see her.
Yeah... Someday.
Definitely.
I've gotta get to work.
Skip work! Let's all have a blast together!
We're all best friends, right?
Shut up.
Have some tact!
Come on.
Let's all play together.
I don't like it when anyone is missing.
Okay, let's go have fun.
Oh, fine.
Really? All right!
You're paying, Yamada.
What? Why?!
You have to learn words before you can use them.
She didn't need to learn "farewell"...
But she still said
"thank you all for playing with me."
Why would she say that?
We could've played more!
She was just a kid...
Inoue-san.
Amami-san, Inoue-san, come on!
We'll hang out tomorrow, the day after that, and beyond, too!
Preview
Man, I have to do the preview? What a drag.
This shouldn't be a kogal's job.
Anyway, Valentine's Day doesn't change much from one generation to the next, huh?
Oh, crap! Does that make me sound like an old lady?
I wonder who the secret admirer sending Hibikicchi chocolate is.
Next time on Re-Kan!: "The Secret Valentine."
Maybe he's hoping it'll be paid back triple?
