Yoko, here.

Would you give this to Machiko-san?
To Machiko-san?
I thought she might like this.
Ehh... I see.
That's all. Good night!
Good night.

"I was just a little depressed."
"I remember how heavy that book of poetry felt as I was holding it."
Good morning, Yoko-san.
Ah, good morning.
Ala? Ikuko, what happened to you?
She said she got a big pimple. I feel sorry for her.
I see. Are you okay?
I'm fine.
More importantly, how about you, Yoko?
Eh? Me?
Aren't you walking around with a glum look?
Eh? Really? Maybe I'm still sleepy.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I see.
We have to hurry or we'll be late. We have morning assembly today.
That's right.
- Oi! - We have to hurry!
Machiko-san!
What's the matter? You're so formal.
Um...
Here.
My brother said, "Would you give this to Machiko-san?"
Eh? From your brother?
For me?
Yes.
He said, "I'm sure Machiko-san would like this."
"So please give it to her," he asked.
"Heian Poetry"
Thank you...
Thank you, Yoko-san.
No.
"Heian Poetry"
- Should we stop by? - Yeah.
Um, Yoko-san, Machiko-san.
I'm going to go on ahead home first today.
Eh?
Sure, but is something up?
I'm sorry.
I just want to get home even one second earlier to read this book.
Ah...
Ehh...
But I thought I could have a great big, important talk with you today!
Eh... is that right?
Very well.
What's the talk about?
Joking!
That was mean! Really mean!
I'm sorry.
It's okay Machiko-san, you can go.
Yeah, thank you.
So long, see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow. Sorry, Machiko!
She's so adorable.
That's true.
Well then, shall we indulge our tastes today?
Yeah!
Yeah! Okay!
What do you think, Ikuko?
Hmm...
I see. Haruki-san, too, huh?
Umm... Probably.
Because I haven't seen that in Haru-niisan before.
I see.
What should I do?
What should you do...
Yeah. Because as her friends, we know how painful Mariko-san's feelings are.
Yeah.
Besides, if Haru-niisan does like Machiko-san...
...I'd be happy.
Because I love both of them. Right?
Yeah.
But, Machiko-san has someone she's betrothed to.
Yeah.
I really don't understand Machiko-san's family though.
So I'd like their love to be successful...
...but don't you wonder that if it does, what would happen?
That's true.
Yeah.
Is this what Yoko's worried over?
Huh?
You tell Machiko, "Haruki-san loves you, too."
And to Haruki-san you say...
"Machiko's been in love with you since that day."
What if you told them that?
Ah! You're incredible, Ikuko.
Yes, that's what's worrying me.
But, I think that's definitely something you shouldn't do, Yoko.
Absolutely... Absolutely shouldn't do!
Would it be meddling?
Yeah.
Look...
I think if you did such a thing...
...you'd be selfishly changing their destinies.
Ah... yeah.
That's what I think.
Yeah. That's true.
"Heian Poetry"
"I thought Machiko-san would enjoy this, so I left it with Yoko. Sudo Haruki"
"In the end, these two weren't able to tell one another, 'I love you.'"
"They would be separated for eternity."
Say, Ikuko.
Huh?
What's up?
Something happen?
Why?
Somehow you're different from usual.
Just like you... somehow.
There is, isn't there?
Why do you want to know?
Because we're friends.
My, my!
Ah... What's up with that?
I told them, "I want to take the exam for the Tokyo Women's College."
Well, I was expecting it, but my Dad was vehemently opposed to it.
"Why would I send my daughter alone to a college in Tokyo for?!"
...he said with a threatening attitude.
Eh...
Did your father hit you? Say, did he?
No.
Dad would never hit me.
I see...
"Even if you oppose it, I'm going to college," I said.
And then my Dad got so angry...
He kicked our low tea table!
"Stop playing around!"
And then he smashed a rice bowl against the wall and it broke...
...and I got hit by that.
Eh...
Dad was startled.
He was the one most surprised and he started to cry.
He had such a sad look on his face.
If I were to run away from home...
I think he'd end up with an even sadder look...
It'd be much better if I had terrible parents.
I wish I had parents who were terrible so I could hate them!
If I did, I could just fly away happily from home!
But...
But I really do want to go!
I want to go, no matter what!
What should I do, Yoko?
Ikuko...
Ikuko!!
This is good!
This is really good!
Say, Yoko-san, there's that, isn't there?
You became a teacher after that, didn't you?
Why would you tell that first?
Eh? Ah!
I'm the one telling this story!
Ah, I'm sorry! What'll I do?
That's enough already, geez.
Ah, I'm sorry!
After all the trouble getting to this point, I don't know if I should continue.
Eh?
Yoko-san, um... No, um...
What I said just now was from my own standpoint...
...but Yoko-san, you exposed it.
I exposed it? No way.
No, no, no, no.
After all, you let a hint slip out.
Really?
Eh? Really?
Well, fine then; I'll forgive you.
All right!
It may be that in my head I had decided I would become a teacher around that time.
But, the times were different then...
...and it was usual then for a girl who had just graduated from school to get married.
It was a very special thing either to work or go to a school of higher learning.
Out of all of my class...
...only about 4 went on to a university.
Eh...
So, even if I had vaguely set my heart on it...
...it wasn't any easy thing to bring up.
I see.
And then, there was someone at that time...
...who told me to become a teacher.
I know!
Hey, if you say who it is, I'll get angry!
I'm sorry. Go ahead.
And then, a slightly disturbing thing occurred.
