[ Entrance Ceremony ]
Um... The warm sunshine of spring is falling...
Today is a good day.
In honor of our dear guests and
the places of the parents,
we cannot bear the happiness with the people involved.
Um, and...
To all new students, certainly,
we would like you to think
being a part of a high school student carefully.
Well, our student lives, you see...
If it's books, then we're talking about mind. If it's about mind, then we're talking about books. And so on.
And it's like, "Buy a book instead of eating.....
That time...
I still wasn't aware.
What...
...being in love is.
Sensei! (My Teacher)
[ One Year Later ]
Geez! [ One Year After ]
I told you that Mr Sekiya's shoe box would be two from the right, four from the top!
Sorry! two from the top, and from the right...
Hey, Chigusa. Don't always ask Hibiki for anything!
You should have delivered your own love letter yourself.
But!
Ah...
It's gone?
Ah! It has already been taken! It's all over!
Sorry. I'm really sorry!
I wonder which teacher is this?
This shoe box is...
Of all the people, it's Ito.
I'm really not good with him. Besides, he doesn't like practical jokes.
I wonder if Hibiki will be okay?
[ Social Studies Preparation Room ]
I don't think Hibiki gets along with Ito. [ Social Studies Preparation Room ]
Why? [ Social Studies Preparation Room ]
You see,
when answering in Ito's world history class,
Hibiki's voice gets a little higher.
Excuse me.
M-Mr Ito...
What is it?
Ah, ah, um...
You see...
It's about that
letter that was in the shoebox...
Ah...
So you were the one who wrote it?
No! Um, it was Chi...
Ah...
So it was Chigusa...
It sure sounds like something she would write.
Big hands.
What's wrong?
I'm sorry! If you'll excuse me!
Shimada.
Yes?
Tell Chigusa...
if she's Japanese, write in proper Japanese.
Yes, sir.
[ Supplementary Lessons ]
[ Should be in different parenthesis ]
[ Announce candidacy ]
So annoying! [ Announce candidacy ]
So annoying! [ Because there's no sender's name: 0 points ]
Dammit!
To think someone who can't tell a woman's presence would grade a love letter!
This is so funny! Ito's awesome.
Oh right, Hibiki, did you tell Ito to not tell anyone?
Ah, I forgot.
What?!
But...
I'm sure Mr Ito won't tell anyone.
Hey, you guys over there!
The bell has already rung.
Mr Sekiya...
Ms Nakajima!
You're really beautiful so early in the morning.
Don't make fun of adults.
If you want cute girls, there are lots around you.
But you're really beautiful.
Please stop saying that.
It's true. I'm not the type to compliment people either.
How annoying...
Ah! I wonder if Sekiya actually likes Nakajima.
I wonder what that bastard Sekiya is thinking.
In front of students, seducing a woman...
It's not Sekiya's fault.
He's just deceived by Nakajima's sex appeal.
You're just being too hostile with Nakajima.
That's because she's always with Sekiya recently!
Sekiya's unbelievable!
I told you, it's not Sekiya's fault!
You two seem to be having fun.
- Huh? - Huh?
Even though I thought I just got into high school, I just realized I'm already a second year...
Even my current 17-year-old self, will end without me realizing it.
Alright!
Kawai's so cool!
Isn't he so cool?! He's so great!
Oh well. Everyone is getting deceived by him.
I wonder why everyone knows the feeling
that they like that certain someone.
I wonder why they know it.
Alright!
Recently, there's news that
a suspicious man is hanging around the school.
Especially you girls, please be cautious.
Yuck! Could it be you?
Huh?
I'll kill you.
Scary! Kosuke, you're scary!
What the... The next room seems noisy.
I wonder what Mr Ito's doing.
Hey, wait for a minute.
Yes, sir.
Whoa!
Time... time.
It's really bad that there's a pervert.
I guess some people long for high school girls.
Yuck. That's gross.
Ah, maybe the teachers are also trying to control themselves
when exceptionally attractive girls like us are always right in front of them!
Don't compare us with perverts.
You've been eavesdropping!
Even though I don't like it, I can hear you with that loud voice of yours.
Ah, but but Mr Ito, when you look at us,
don't you feel your heart skip a bit?
No.
How annoying!
Huh?
If it hit me in a bad place, I could've died.
But thanks anyway.
Let's start class.
He's annoying after all!
"Every hour of lost time"
"is a chance of misfortune for the future."
Even though this is Napoleon's famous saying,
with his amazing speed and ability to take action,
had expanded the territory of France,
and excluding England and Russia, conquered all of Europe,
and by the year 1804, he had become the Emperor of France.
Well, if you all do not want to regret something later,
you should not waste your time on it now.
Um... And after that, in the year 1812, Napoleon invaded Russia but...
[ Every hour of lost time is a chance of misfortune for the future. ]
You must believe me or you'll really get into trouble!
It's really, really, really dangerous!
Bye then.
Be careful so that you won't encounter a pervert!
Stop it!
Bye!
Bye bye.
Shimada?
What's wrong?
Hey, Shimada.
Mr Ito...
I was so scared.
So hot.
Here.
Huh?
Come on.
Ah...
Thank you very much.
What's wrong?
Ah, it's nothing...
Hibiki!
Hey, are you okay?
Are you alright?
Yeah.
I'm really relieved it wasn't serious.
To think it was a misunderstanding. You really gave the wrong impression.
It's the times after all.
It's alright if a young girl gets the wrong impression at times.
Ah, if you want, I can pick you up everyday.
You shouldn't. You're being over protective.
Hibiki's not a child anymore.
She still is a child.
I guess I still am a child...
Hm? What's wrong, Hibiki?
Just as I thought...
He had big hands.
[ Prefectural South Senior High School ]
I see.
You're really good.
Of course.
This puts food on the table after all.
Do you draw self-portraits?
If it's your drawing, I would even pay a 100 million yen for it...
I already told you.
There are many others who are younger and cuter out there.
I have no interest in kids.
That's a coincidence.
Same goes for me.
Taking the arrows.
Hey first year! Your voices are too soft!
Whenever you take arrows, say it louder!
I'm sorry!
Geez!
Why are you so irritated?
Hey, how about after Sunday practice, we go visit Nakajima's place?
Huh? Why Nakajima's?
She lives in the staff dorm, right? Sekiya's in there too, you know.
I wanna go!
Right, Hibiki?!
What?
Hey! Which way do we go? This way? This way?
Over there? Inside? Which way? This way?
That way.
Huh?
Hey, this is the correct place, right?
Ah, I wonder if she's home.
But wouldn't she return here?
Looks like Sekiya's not here either. Geez, to think we came all the way over here!
You guys are noisy.
Oh.
Hmm...
It seems like a boring room.
Well, thanks, Mr Ito. I'll have black tea.
Mr Ito, I'll have black tea!
You'll all have brown tea.
What?
If you don't like it, you can just have tap water.
Why did you guys come here?
Just a homeroom teacher visit.
But don't you all belong to Mr Sekiya's class?!
You're scary, Mr Ito.
Could it be that you're also like that to your girlfriend?
That's none of your business.
What? No way. You have a girlfriend?
No, I don't. It's too bothersome.
Huh? Why's that? Do you mean you hate women?
Isn't that a controversial issue?
Sekiya has returned?
Mr Sekiya~!
You guys...
What's wrong?
Mr Sekiya...
Ms Nakajima and Mr Ito.
Are you two dating?
What are you talking about? He just took me out for a little ride.
That's true, you guys!
Why don't you guys take a ride with Mr Sekiya too?
What?
I'll leave it all to you.
They're our "precious students" after all.
Okay, I don't mind.
Let's go.
Wait, Kosuke!
Okay, for each radius of (alpha + beta) and intersection of the unit circle,
we make them into a P.
And P's coordinates would be cos (alpha + beta) and sin (alpha + beta).
So by the formula of the distance between two points, AP squared is...
[ Isn't it really really suspicious that the two of them went out last Sunday? ]
[ Why did you fall in love with Mr Sekiya? ]
[ Huh? Why do you want to know? ]
[ Because the probability of both of your parents agreeing to this is low, you know ]
Ah, hey, Chii.
I mean "compared to a student... Chii... Chii...
Hey, over there!
Shimada? Stand up!
What? Yes, Sir.
Even though tests are near, you're slacking!
Stay after school and solve all the
practice problems on page 133 and show them to me.
What?!
Where's your response?
Yes, Sir.
What?!
What are you doing here?
Um... I was told to stay behind by Mr Sekiya.
I have to solve the problems on this page today and show it to him.
But Sekiya already left for the day.
What?
No way...
Finish the number you started then do the rest at home.
Ah, besides that I already said "yes" to him,
I can't go home until I finish it.
Even though Sekiya has already left?
Let me see.
Huh? Do you know Math?
I'm better than you or Chigusa.
Do you know how to grade them?
If I think like how I grade in world history, I can more or less do it.
Ah...
Huh? You're fast...
Wow!
Why are you...
...being nice to me?
Hm?
Wait...
You said that women are bothersome and you hate them.
Please tell me honestly...
Is it because I'm a good student who does what their teacher say?
I wonder why I said this.
You're not even my homeroom teacher.
You don't have to be nice to me.
Ah!
I-I-I'm sorry.
Ah... I said something really rude...
Huh?
Why are you laughing?
What are you talking about being an honest good student?
What?
You peeked into someone else's shoe box without permission,
mistook it and put someone else's letter in there,
and suddenly wake someone up when he's taking a nap.
Well at least you're right about being honest.
Huh?
Come on and finish this already.
Here.
Thank you very much.
Okay, 4-1.
Yes, sir.
Um...
Thank you very much for taking me home.
That's because it'll be troublesome if you get hurt again for another misunderstanding.
I'm sorry.
Pitching for the second time, the pitcher Shota has now thrown the ball.
It's a hit and a line drive! It has crossed over the short stop!
It was hit before the left!
Dammit...
The score's now 3 to 2! Pinch hitter Hisamoto made a run-scoring hit!
[ Ms Nakajima: There's something I would like to talk to you. ]
[ Ms Nakajima: Please come to the art room after school tomorrow... ]
What are you doing?
Kosuke!
Why are you here?
Why? Well...
I'm just wondering if Nakajima's here.
Ah, come here, come here...
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey! Hold it! Wait!
Huh? What're you...
Ah.
Sorry I asked you to come here.
It's alright. Is something wrong?
Recently, Mr Sekiya has been asking me out quite frequently.
Sekiya?
I feel sorry refusing him every time.
Would it be alright if you tell him for me?
What?
There is...
someone else I like.
I don't want him to get the wrong idea.
Sekiya and I are friends though.
I cannot tell something like that to him.
Are you serious about that?
You already know, Mr Ito?
Regarding my feelings for you.
What?
I'm sorry.
To be honest...
My hands are full with work right now.
Oh, no.
Did I...
...just get rejected?
I guess...
...that's how it looks.
Please forget about it.
I don't want it to be a hindrance at work too.
I understand.
Well then, if you'll excuse me.
Okay. Thank you for today.
That bastard Ito!
Ah, Kosuke! Don't!
Let me go. I'm gonna punch Ito!
No! You must not!
Why not?! Ito's such a...
If you punch him, I'll punch you too!
Huh?
If you punch Mr Ito...
I'll punch you!
Hibiki...
Are you...
...in love with Ito?
Attention!
With the ongoing construction of the gym of the North High,
we are unable to use our archery field,
we are going to use the grounds of South High.
Even though it will be inconvenient for you for a little while,
we hope we can get along.
Bow.
Thank you very much!
Alright!
North High is amazing. Everyone's form is matched.
Hey, isn't that Fujioka? The one who entered the nationals during his first year?
Alright!
What?!
Hibiki is in love with Mr Ito?!
Idiot! You're talking too loud!
But now that you've told me, I get it.
How can she have fallen for someone that rude?
Isn't that something you can't say with just one word?
Can you say what you like about Nakajima?
Her face.
Ouch!
You're a scum of men! A demon!
Honestly, what's wrong with that?!
You're in the way.
In the way?
That's what you'll say when you're renting our archery grounds?
I don't care who likes which teacher but it would be better
if you don't bring it up in this place.
H-He heard us...
What should we do...
Well, I think it's fine since we go to different schools.
You should honestly apologize to Hibiki, okay?
What?
The North High guys are too serious!
It's like I can't cut practice.
You know, Hibiki.
Hm?
Um...
It's about Ito... you see...
Did something happen...
...to Mr Ito?
No...
Ah right... Before and during exams...
I heard that Ito's staying overnight!
Heard he's looking after students who are studying...
The Social Studies Preparation Room?
It looks like he's converting it into his home.
He's probably saying to them that they're not listening during class.
You know, Ito...
surprisingly thinks of his students, huh?
Yeah.
Surprisingly.
Surprisingly though...
"Every hour of lost time..."
"...is a chance of misfortune in the future."
What's wrong?
Sorry!
I just remembered something important.
Huh? Wait! Ah...
Hibiki?
Huh?
Shimada?
Mr Ito!
There's something I want to say to you.
Is it about the exam?
What?
Is it alright if I fall in love with you?
You should give that up.
Why?
Because I'm a teacher and you're a student.
That's all.
But is it alright if I just stayed in love with you?
You know...
"Every hour of lost time..."
"...is a chance of misfortune in the future."
Those were Napoleon's words which you taught us in class.
Even though I'm a bit scared...
But doesn't that mean that I should live my life to the fullest now
for the sake of the future, right?
I don't want to have any regrets in the future!
That's why, um...
Well...
If I got more than 90 points in the world history exam,
Would it be alright if I fall in love with you?
Do you even...
...remember what you got in the last exam?
Ah...
Um...
56 points.
But... I'll do my best!
Hey!
Wait, wait, wait... What?!
What was that? It's like you've already confessed!
Just wait. The things went on too fast my head can't catch up.
So?
How did it go?
He said no.
Ah...
I thought so.
But you know.
He laughed,
I'm not so sure I understand but...
I don't understand but...
I feel somewhat good.
Okay!
But you know, you've been rejected, right?
Then that means it's a no.
Do you understand?
Yeah.
Ah, geez. You don't understand it at all.
Ah!
That hurts...
Ah?
My glasses...
Ah...
Oh no...
Ah, there are steps down here.
Ah.
Is your eyesight that bad?
It will be fine if you leave me here. I'll do something about it from now on...
No, please let me guide you.
I'll be sure to properly protect you.
Protect? Hey...
Ah, they're here!
Hey! Hey!
This way.
We will be arriving soon. Passengers near the doors,
because of the danger, please step away from the doors.
They are talking about you!
This is far enough. I'll be fine now.
Ah, okay. I'm really sorry.
Um, I'll reimburse the glasses...
Ah, no need. I have a spare.
Thank you for protecting me.
You are welcome!
Then, I'll take my leave.
Be careful, now.
Yes.
Mr Ito!
Goodbye.
Was that Class C's Shimada just now?
Ah... yes.
If I remember correctly, she also came some time ago.
How unusual.
So there is also a student who is close to you.
You're getting the wrong idea.
It was just a coincidence today.
Really?
It's alright.
Because she's overly too serious.
What is alright?
It's also rare to see you make excuses.
[ 3 days before midterm exams!! ]
[ World History B 13:20~14:00 ]
Okay, that's it for today.
We'll continue this next week, so don't forget your sketch pads.
Yes, Ma'am.
Shimada.
Can you help me put away the statues?
Yes, Ma'am.
Let's put it in the back.
Yes, Ma'am.
Mr Ito!
Since the exams are over, why don't we have a match in Power Pocket?
I'm fine with it, but play against me when you leveled up a little bit higher.
When you talk to Mr Ito,
you can sometimes see that he's actually kind.
Huh?
The truth is he is kind, more than anyone else.
But he's always so blunt that his kindness
can be misunderstood that it was only to yourself.
Especially...
to the people your age.
Ms Nakajima...
Um, I'm not...
Thank you for helping me.
I'll be taking my leave.
Please
don't tease Hibiki.
Just because you got rejected by Ito.
This and that are different.
I just advised Shimada as a teacher.
Really...
Besides, I only thought Mr Ito
was just a nice man.
To force someone along is...
Lies.
Weren't you crying?
What are you trying to say?
I love you, Ms Nakajima.
I'm serious.
I'm sorry but I know that being serious for high school students
actually does not come as serious.
Dammit.
Mr Ito.
Shimada.
Stop wandering
around me endlessly already.
The marks for the exams aren't out yet.
"Every hour of lost time..."
"...is a chance of misfortune in the future."
What?
Do not waste your important high school life paying attention to someone like me.
I don't think I'm wasting it.
I cannot answer to your feelings.
Um...
I told you...
Even if you don't feel the same.... I still...
I feel suffocated
you're doing that.
Especially how much you place your feelings on me.
Am I annoying?
Yes.
Indeed.
You're annoying.
Coming, coming, coming.
Huh? Hibiki?
Kosuke, 'morning!
Hey, 'morning...
Huh?
What's with that look?
Hibiki stayed overnight at my place.
I gave her make up. Ain't she cute!
It looks really weird.
It's not like her.
What? You're just not used to it.
Wait... Shimada, you quite look good today.
Hey, are either one of you free today?
We have a group blind date with Central High and we are short one girl.
Ah...
Sorry! We have club practice.
And Hibiki's not really into group blind dates...
Should I...
...go there?
What?
Oh really? That's great.
What? That's great, isn't it? Then, tell them.
Okay, I'll be sure to tell them.
Please do.
Hibiki?
Hey, Chigusa!
You should stop.
There he is! The rotten teacher!
What?
If you're going to dump someone, there's a better way of doing it!
Even if you say that now...
Hibiki was in such a terrible state. She came to my house crying.
She cried and cried until morning. And her eyes were swollen a lot.
Ah... That's why she has make-up on.
To top it off, she said she's going to a group blind date!
She's desperately trying to give up on you!
If this goes on, Hibiki will get even weirder!
It's none of my business.
How heartless!
Hey, hey.
Usually, the more serious the person is, the harder the setback they'll feel.
It could be really bad for her.
You don't have to date with her. It's fine even if you lie to her.
Hibiki will feel better if you say some few nice words to her.
Even if I lie, huh...
Huh?
If you're done talking, leave. I'm in the middle of checking your exams.
Ito, you're actually...
You're the worst! Let's go, Kosuke!
Hey, hey, hey, wait...
She said she's going to go the karaoke place in front of the station. Be sure to patch things up before that!
Let me go already, dammit.
[ Hibiki Shimada: 97 ]
~ Me! Me! Me! Me! Ole! Ole! ~
~ Ah, midsummer jamboree! Reggae beach big wave!! ~
~ Ah, the heart beat that got carried away ~
~ Extremely hard to touch, welcome weekend ~
~ Ah, the scorching hot jamboree ~
Hibiki, are you having fun?
Yeah.
I like girls with short haircuts.
Um...
I think I'll be leaving after all.
Huh? What's that?
Sorry.
But Shimada, if you leave now...
Wait...
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
What did you say to her?
No, no. I didn't say anything.
Thanks for the meal!
Thanks, I'll come again.
Hey, high schooler. You'll get sick.
Your teacher will scold you if you play at night, you know.
I want to get scolded!
I want to see more of him
get angry
and laugh.
Hey, hey, is this girl okay?
So you're a girl who likes her teacher. You know that's wrong, right?
Why is it wrong?
I...
even did my best in exams because I am in love with the teacher.
Everyday, my heart beats fast
and it's becoming fun.
It's definitely not pointless.
Even though he doesn't answer my feelings,
right now,
I want to continue loving
the person I love the most.
I'm sorry.
Mr Ito?
Let's go, Shimada.
Good luck, high school girl!
Mr Ito...
The seat will get wet.
I'm sorry.
Ueda.
Yes, sir.
Onou.
Kawai.
Sato.
Yes, sir.
Shimada.
Yes, sir.
Tadokoro.
Chigusa.
Yes, sir.
Ishino.
Yes, sir.
Tsukawa.
Itsuka.
Honda.
Nishino.
Anyway, for today's homeroom class we'll be discussing
the special program for the South High Festival.
We will be deciding for the class opposition costume contest.
Oh!
Okay, does anyone have suggestions?
Sir!
Okay, Chigusa.
I think happy wedding is good!
What's that?
We will make different wedding dresses that each girl likes
then wear them!
What will the guys do?
If you wear the collar inside out, it would be like that.
You know,
I'm thinking of impressing Tonobe of the soccer club
in a wedding dress.
Chii.
What about Mr Sekiya?
Hm? I'm over him.
It's like the feelings that I had were kind of different.
When I thought about it carefully, he's just someone I look up to.
I see.
Your form's messed up.
Your bow hand's shoulder is falling out.
Looks like nobody else is here today.
Yeah, because the school festival is this weekend.
Club activities are halted because of it for the time being.
I see. Same goes for us.
Shimada.
You were a first year representative at last year's tournament, right?
Yes.
I thought you were good.
But I was a bit disappointed.
What?
It seemed like you're not getting into practice recently.
There is a hesitation in your bow stance, and it looks like you're not being serious...
I'm sorry.
Ah, no...
I'm also sorry. I said too much.
No.
Sorry.
It's just that...
I was only just thinking about myself.
I didn't think how much I would drag
down other people.
I'm sorry.
Do you
want to talk about it?
What?
The person you like
is a teacher, right?
It's just that...
I just fell in love selfishly.
All because he was sometimes nice to me.
It seemed like I got too ahead of myself.
I'm really an idiot.
I should properly...
give up.
Don't laugh.
If it's not something to laugh at, don't laugh.
It's harder to look at you.
Fujioka?
Even though I also don't know how
one should properly give up,
why don't you make sure that it's really time to give up?
I already know that...
I already know what he feels.
That's not it!
It's your feelings.
It's because you weren't properly rejected that you are so stressed?
But...
It would be more annoying...
Because he's a teacher,
it's also his job to not be an annoyance to the students.
[ South High Festival ]
Even in sickness, we...
Hey! We are missing safety pins here.
Is it good now? Okay? Okay? Okay?
It's on? Okay?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Does it look strange?
It's cute.
Really?
Yeah, yeah, it's cute, it's cute.
Then I might as well show it to Tonobe!
Have you talked to Ito since then?
Not really.
I see...
I guess I had the wrong idea.
I guess I don't really understand adults.
I don't really understand them.
Yeah.
I don't understand them either.
But...
It's alright to just make sure, right?
That's because...
I got it.
Huh?
I got 97 points!
Hey, Hibiki!
Mr Ito.
It's just today.
Just today.
Why are you dressed like that?
What?
Ah...
What do you think?
It doesn't suit you.
How mean.
But still, it's true.
Someday, you too
will be wearing a real bridal dress.
That makes me smile.
I...
Hibiki Shimada,
in sickness,
and in health,
even when I graduate,
even if I find employment,
I will always...
promise that
I will love Mr Ito for the rest of my life.
Just kidding!
I'm sorry.
This will be the last time.
I will now go back to being a normal student.
And I will surely aim this time.
I will be obedient and listen to what you'll say...
What?
Please be on standby for now!
Section C, please proceed to the stage...
Hey, hey, hey, where is Hibiki?
Ah...
I dunno.
What?
Why?
Mr Ito.
What...
...should I do?
Please tell me.
Hey, hey. Isn't that Shimada from Section C?
No way! That plain looking girl?
It's really her!
Heard a first year student saw them by chance.
Really?!
Hibiki!
Chii.
Come here!
What?
Here.
What?
[ Junkitty: @ukiuki_caca: Aren't Ito and Section C's Shimada in danger? Hiromin: @ukiuki_caca: What?! Ito really did that?! ]
[ Ryota: @ukiuki_caca: That's 2-C's Shimada, right? Yukkun: @ukiuki_caca: Oh well, Ito really did it this time Ryoma: @ukiuki_caca: It's really the end for Ito! ]
It's circulating widely on the net and is still spreading.
The principal just called Ito awhile ago.
I have to go.
What are you saying?! No! Let's run for it, Hibiki!
Even if she runs for it, nothing can be done about it.
No. Best to do that.
So you're here.
Shimada, go home.
But...
It's not something a child would be able to discuss.
Leave it to the adults.
That again? Hibiki's seriously...
Do you think being serious is something to be great about?
Don't you realize
that straight forwardness would hurt the other?
That's why I'm telling you she's a child.
Nakajima...
For now, go home.
There is no mistake
that this is you, Mr Ito,
and Section C's
Hibiki Shimada, isn't it?
Yes.
Yes? How dare you!
Could you
please explain the meaning of this?
It's just what you see.
I don't have any explanation.
How dare you say that?!
I'm really sorry.
Mr Ito.
This is not just your personal problem.
It's a problem if all the faculty members can be trusted!
Do you think this will get resolved if you apologize?!
Mr Ito, for this matter,
punishment is inevitable.
Is that fine with you?
Could you tell us
what you truly feel?
I...
No way, Shimada did that?
What? Even though she really looks serious.
I know right.
What's wrong?
Yeah, it seems like everyone's making a big fuss over it.
There's a girl named Shimada, right?
Seems like she’s gotten intimate with a teacher...
[ Shimada ]
Hibiki?
I'm going out.
Be sure to microwave the shrimp pilaf in the refrigerator and eat, okay?
Hibiki.
You know...
Your father and I
have no intention to blame you.
We just want to give you
a normal happiness a high school student would have.
That's all.
Yes?
It's Ito.
Mr Ito?
Are you getting cold?
I got promoted.
Promoted?
The one you bought in the hospital’s vending machine last time
was a strawberry milk.
It's amazing you remember that.
I thought you treated me as a child.
But
It has now become a can of coffee.
I'm sorry.
It's because of me
that I make you feel awkward even in school.
I'm really sorry.
Please don't apologize.
It's my fault too.
I also got you in trouble.
I'm sorry.
I'm alright.
I'm really...
alright.
I don't care how others see me.
It's alright what other people think.
It's alright even if I stopped going to school.
What?
Mr Ito.
Please tell me.
Why did you...
...hug me that time?
Why...
did you...
I just gave in to the temptation.
What?
That's all.
I understand.
I'll take you back home.
It's alright if you just take me to the station.
Okay.
[ Fujioka ]
Yes?
Hello.
Fujioka?
I heard what happened.
What?
I was the one who urged you to do it.
I'm sorry.
Don't.
Don't apologize, Fujioka.
A train going to Kurato will arrive shortly.
Since it's dangerous, please wait from the inner part of the yellow brailles.
Ah. Since it's dangerous, please wait from the inner part of the yellow brailles.
The train is here.
What?
Ah.
I see.
Okay.
Bye then.
Okay.
Bye.
The train will be on track four shortly.
Since it's dangerous...
Please wait at the back of the inner part of the yellow lines...
Fujioka.
Why are you here?
It's because I thought you were crying.
Everyone will eventually get tired of the rumors.
For example,
if you go out normally with someone else from now,
everyone will stop talking about it someday.
Could I...
be that someone?
What?
Since last year's tournament,
I've always thought that you're nice.
You don't have to answer right away.
But..
Since I've had those feelings,
I somehow feel unpleasant that I'm hiding it.
I thought it's best that I tell it to you first.
That's all.
I'll send you home.
Okay.
Do not overdo it even though classes are suspended.
Please act knowing that you're still a high school student.
Yes, sir.
Anyway,
and furthermore, um...
About the world history teacher, Mr Ito...
Hibiki!
Chii.
I'm gonna die...
Chii, what's wrong?
Hibiki! You see, this is awful.
Ito is leaving!
Is this everything?
Yes.
Thank you for helping me.
It's alright.
Anyway,
is it really alright?
Hey.
I thought you're already gone.
What's wrong now?
Are you running away?
Then can I do some explaining?
Stop predicting.
If I don't, then I'll get hit.
Why do I have to get punched by you?
That's because you annoy me just by seeing you.
Stop it, Kawai!
What's with you changing schools?
Don't act so cool about it.
How long will you try to act like an adult and run away?
Hey.
It's better if you fight back.
You can't, can you?
Since I'm a student,
and you're a teacher, after all.
But why did you
half-heartedly accept Hibiki?!
Hibiki.
Go to Ito's place!
I...
...can't go.
Hibiki?
Why?
I fell in love...
...with someone I shouldn't have.
I shouldn't have from the start.
Hibiki...
A while ago,
Mr Ito said to me.
Because I'm a high school student,
I should experience more in life.
Even though I don't know if I can
fall in love with someone else.
Is that...
For a change of pace,
I was invited to practice
in the municipal archery field.
What?
Who invited you?
Fujioka.
No.
What?
No! This is weird!
Even though Mr Ito always say such difficult things,
why doesn't he say something easy at all!
Chii?
Hey.
Hibiki.
There is no such thing in this world
where you can't be in love with someone.
I'm sure!
It made me happy, you know.
About what you said
during the faculty meeting.
But the way you take responsibility is wrong!
Mr Ito is thinking what's best for Shimada...
Thinking...
For Hibiki, you take the blame yourself and run away?
That's not what she wants even the tiniest bit!
That's not what she wants for now.
But...
If I think about her future,
this is the only choice.
Who decides on that?!
Things like this
are not for the sake of anyone.
We should also take responsibility for it!
Mr Ito is doing it as an adult...
Ah! Adult! Adult! Shut up already!
That's right.
We are children, that's why we don't get it!
That's why we're desperate to do something!
Is it because you've been a teacher for a long time
that you can't see what you truly think anymore?
Mr Ito!
Ah, I actually hit him...
Hey.
That might be true.
What?
She might despise me someday
for hurting her.
That's probably why
I'm just running away, being afraid of that.
Ito.
During that time...
Mr Ito said this during the meeting.
She's serious,
clumsy,
and always tries her best,
that's why I can't take my eyes off her.
As a teacher,
she's someone I cannot ignore.
But...
When I realized it, I forgot my position as a teacher...
She
is not wrong in any way.
I will take full responsibility for everything.
I don't want to hurt her anymore.
It hurts that I fell in love with Mr Ito.
It hurts,
that it makes me feel helpless,
that it's painful...
But even so...
I don't think it's better that I didn't fall in love with him at all.
That's because...
You are...
Shimada!
Someone I fell in love with
for the first time in my life.
Mr Ito!
Stay there!
Mr Ito!
I'm sorry.
Please don't quit school.
I'll talk to the principal and the others! I'll tell them it’s a misunderstanding!
It's alright already.
Why?
You did nothing wrong.
I told you, it's alright.
No, it's not!
Nothing is alright at all!
It's not a misunderstanding.
I fell in love with Hibiki Shimada.
Why am I...
...a child, I wonder?
I want to be...
I want to be an adult already.
Someday,
we'll properly go out together.
I want you to wait until then.
You don't have to try hard.
If during that time...
you fall in love with someone else,
I won't...
No.
Please wait for me.
[ Graduation Certificate Awarding ]
Um, everyone. [ Graduation Certificate Awarding ]
Congratulations on graduating. [ Graduation Certificate Awarding ]
Congratulations on graduating.
Three years ago, the cherry blossoms bloomed through the gates of this school.
And...
And just like that, this day of your departure has come.
Graduation.
As you know, in English,
it's called "graduation".
Graduate.
The truth is...
this "grad" part is...
Ah, I wish that the principal wouldn't talk that long.
Ah.
What will you do starting today?
Ah, I'm...
I have some business starting now.
Huh?
Could it be...
Ms Nakajima?
Yeah.
I have decided to properly confess again after I graduate.
So you've been always waiting even before you graduated?
Whoa! So scary! You're really obsessed!
What the hell.
It's a compliment! You're so passionate!
Chigusa!
Ah.
Sorry. Just wait a bit!
What? Huh?
He's a second year junior.
What the hell. So you have something you have to do too.
I didn't notice.
I thought of it when I saw you two.
Trying to do my best trying to love someone...
...is really good!
Chii.
Hibiki, I'm sorry.
Anyway, I will be leaving you.
Congratulations on graduating!
Oh well.
Then I'll be leaving too.
I'll keep in touch. Bye.
The cherry blossoms bloomed early this year...
That's right, if you don't hurry, he'll leave!
But...
It's the graduation ceremony!
That's right, you went all the way to write it!
Two from the top, from the right...
Hey, Chigusa. Don't always ask Hibiki for anything!
If tomorrow comes,
this place will no longer be ours,
and someone else would again
will make a new story.
But...
The things I've pondered here...
The things I've hesitated here...
The things I've thought here...
Will always remain in me...
And will strengthen me on the path I will be taking from now on.
Whatever memories it may be..
[ Thank you South High ]
Joy... [ Thank you South High ]
Sadness... [ Thank you South High ]
Everything...
Will become my strength.
I have... graduated.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
What do you want to do?
I want to...
...hold hands.
It's small.
It's cold.
Your hands are...
...are warm and big.
I'm glad I met you.
My teacher.
