"Serial TV Story"
I'm going to be frank with you.
I want either you or Takahashi-sensei to leave your job.
Can you prioritize your students over that of your child?

Hinako, look, look! Hinako, look!
Hinako, look!
You've finished it, huh?
Yeah.
That's great, isn't it, Hinako?
"I couldn't easily bring it up with Kazunari-san, either."
"I thought I should discuss it with him..."
"...but I just couldn't bring it up."
Ah! That's right, Yoko.
A letter came for you.
Ah, yes. Thank you very much.
"Ishii Keiko"
Keiko-chan?
"It was a letter from Ishii Keiko-chan..."
"...whom I had been in charge of during my first class."
- "Then, Keiko-san." - "Yes!"
"I'd like to become a campaign nurse and be of help to the injured soldiers."
"My bento!"
"It's disappeared!"
"Sensei, I'm sorry."
"Keiko-chan's father had been killed in battle..."
"...and so she was supporting both her and her mother, whose body wasn't very strong."
"She wrote, 'I'm working for a paper-making company.'"
"And, 'It would have been better if I had studied properly.'"
"'It's frustrating that there's so many things I don't understand.'"
"'What should I do?' she complained."
"And, lastly..."
"Yoko-sensei, I'm scared."
"If I go on living like this, what's going to happen to me?"
"I don't have anyone I can turn to..."
"...who can tell me what the best thing to do is."
"I don't have anyone I can turn to who can tell me what the best thing to do is."
What is it?
Eh? Ah.
Is it some bad news?
Ah... no.
It's from a student.
I have to write them an answer.
I see.
Ah, get some rest first. Hinako can be put to bed, too.
Yeah. All right.
"I felt I was responsible."
"During the war at the National School..."
"...I hadn't taught her the truly essential things of life."
"She had been pushed out into the world just as she was."
"I felt I was the one responsible for that."
"Don't worry."
"Even while you are working, you can study."
"Because I will always be your teacher."
"Hang in there."
"Maruyama Yoko."
"Ala, this is incredible! A four-leaf clover!"
"We found it on the way home. Right?"
"Ehh... That's great, isn't it? This will bring you luck."
"We're giving it to Yoko-sensei."
"Are you sure?"
"We want to give it to you."
"I wondered how all of them were doing."
"I wondered if the first children I had taken charge of..."
"...were living happily."
Ah, I'm sorry Hinako.
Huh? Yes, yes.
You've been waiting, haven't you?
Thank you.
"These children were the same."
"They were children who had gone to school during the severest parts of the war."
"Without the scholastic aptitude for catching up easily..."
"...I felt it was I, as these children's teacher..."
"...who held the responsibility for pushing them out into the world far too soon."
- You don't understand it? - No.
That's okay. Thank you.
Okay!
Then, why don't all of us take our time and give this one some thought?
- Yes! - Yes!
"Yoko-sensei, I'm scared."
"What's going to happen to me?"
Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work.
"Don't worry."
"Even while you are working, you can study."
"'Even if you're working, you can study.'"
"'Do you best.' That's what Natsuko-sensei told me."
Ah...
What is it?
Natsuko-sensei, you're an incredible teacher, aren't you?
Eh?
Ah... why?
It's a secret.
Hmm?
Yoko, are you okay?
Do you have a fever?
Eh?
She doesn't.
I'm sorry.
Look, doesn't this child run fevers that are like teething fevers?
Ah, there was that, wasn't there?
- Right?! - Eh?
I didn't know that.
Ah, that's right, you weren't here.
At the end of the war, on the day we heard the Emperor's voice, she came down with a fever.
That's right.
Ehh... Is that right?
Well...
Please don't say I get teething fevers like I'm some child.
It was just that inside my head I became a little confused...
...and I got disoriented, is all.
That's a teething fever.
That's right, isn't it?
Did you have such things before you married into our family?
Eh?
No, not at all.
Ah... She did.
She did, she did.
- You can tell from that face. - Right!
Confess, Yoko!
I never did, I said!
Hmm?
Tell us! Hey!
I didn't. Look, please just eat.
- Yes, yes! - Geez!
Something's happened to Yoko-chan, hasn't it?
Something has happened.
Eh?
They'll settle it as a couple.
Ah, I see.
Nothing we can do.
Yeah.
Aren't you going to talk about it, Yoko?
What's worrying you?
If you don't tell me soon, I'll get angry.
Eh? I'd hate that.
Is it related to me?
It is.
Don't you want to tell me about it?
I do want to tell you.
Well then, tell me.
Yes.
It's just... Kazunari is...
That is to say, he's a man of this family.
Eh?
It's good being gentle and all, but...
What is this, oi!
I think you could say Kazunari is just like his father.
What do you mean?
"What do you want to do, Yoko? I'll give you my support."
Yeah, oh, he'd say that.
Yeah! It's those times when it's really worrisome, that he's useless.
Eh? Really?
He is!
So then...
...you're shouldering a heavy burden, aren't you?
Yes, that's right.
Yoko...
Yes?
What do you want to do?
I'll give you my support.
Ah...
