-Done moving? -Yes, l´m done.

We´ve moved everything,

can you sign at the bottom?

OK

All done, thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

So heavy!

Kae, over there, give me a hand!

Sorry sorry

One...two...

Say...

Hm?

Why didn´t you just come and live with me?

l don´t want to bother you newlyweds...

lt´s a second-marriage newlyweds

My mom also did that.

Aren´t you embarrassed by it?

lt´s cool.

-No way! -Yeah.

Eh, what´s that?

What is it?

Huh...

Matsume Ryo?

Kae, you´re not putting this on the wall, are you?

What are you talking about?

He´s the best!

l see.

Eh...

Eh...

Hmm?

Right there.

ls that mirror the kind that you can open?

Hm...

You´re right!

The person who lived here before must´ve forgotten to take these

ls it really OK to read it?

That person might remember and come back for it.

´´Did you read my diary?!´´

Stop playing around!

Kidding kidding.

Kae.

Hmm?

Come here.

There´s someone weird down there.

Hey

Do you know him?

No...l don´t.

Thank you.

You´re welcome.

l won´t see you for awhile.

lt´ll be short.

lt´s just one year.

ls it OK being so far away from Kashima-san?

Yeah

he also studied abroad before, so he´ll understand.

l see.

But London is still pretty far away.

Kashima-san will probably feel lonely.

l´ll also be lonely without you.

You should also try your best.

and become a teacher.

Hana-chan...

See ya!

Bye.

´´Shikari´´

is made up of the kanji ´´reliability´´ and kana ´´ri´´

That means, you´ve followed the sheet music incorrectly

Understand?

We have a month until the concert,

you can´t be leisure about this matter anymore.

prepare to work hard for the concert.

We will.

This re-issued version of the ´´Toledo Pelican´´

is made from the crafts of the ´30s

lt´s such a high quality item.

lt´s just that the serial number on this pen is too plain.

l would´ve bought it if it was 1 or 777.

Are you trying to find a limited edition pen?

lt´s not interesting if it´s only a regular pen

Here,

take a look at this

Here

You still have a lot to learn, l´ll be back

Thank you for your business

Thank you very much

Kanako-san

it´s pretty hard to sell pens, isn´t it?

lt´s all about the skills.

Why are some people like that?

Because pens are valuable collector´s items.

Pen sellers not only need to have experience and knowledge,

The most important thing they need is...

´´Story´´

Story?

lt´s not an easy task to win someone´s heart.

For example,

it´s like love.

lf you don´t have a story,

even if you reach the climax,

no one is going to care.

Right?

Hmm, you´re right.

Doleci Vita Mini

Your dad gave it to you, right?

My dad gave it to me when l entered high school.

This is the color of Southern ltaly´s sun

the best color to convey your father´s love.

Wishing you a happy,

carefree school life

is the story of a father and a daughter.

So slow

We´re here...

and it´s the right time

Yeah

Something´s fishy here.

Andy!

lf you can´t fall asleep, then close your eyes

and start counting sheep.

1 sheep, 2 sheep...

Mano lbuki

4 sheep...

5 sheep

This is written with a pen.

The ink has changed color

Reddish-purple.

Good night.

She´s an elementary school teacher

a very pretty person...

April 5th -

one day before school starts

School will begin tomorrow

This is the first time that l in charge of a class: 4th grade class 2

Looking at the names of these 36 kids

and wondering about what kind of people they are when l see them,

l get more nervous

However, l must keep my composure.

Wow.

This person knows how to write ´´composure´´.

´´What should l say to the kids when l see them tomorrow?´´

l keep thinking about it.

ln this coming year, my goal is to enable everyone to understand

and easily remember the things l teach.

What should l say?

l got it, l´ll write down the key word first.

From now on, l will be the head teacher for this class.

My name is Mano lbuki

Please call me ´´lbuki Sensei´´

We will!

April 6th

l want to develop my students into Children of the Sun.

Everyone, please read this aloud.

´´Children of the Sun´´

This phrase

comes from Haitani Kenjiro´s book ´´A Rabbit´s Eyes´´

Everything is born under the nurture of the sun

and thus the term ´´Children of the Sun´´.

So, for this year,

everyone should be like the sun -

optimistic and strong.

Let´s make this class enjoyable and fun!

OK.

Then, l will begin class.

The children listen to me attentively,

they are as pure as l imagined them to be.

Class 4-2 should become a big family, always helping each other.

To make the children understand my wish, l gave them this example...

From now on

everyone should be like a family

and help each other out.

For example,

if someone farted right now, what would you do?

lf someone farted,

the others will try to find out who did it, right?

But if we´re a family, it doesn´t matter who farted or not.

However,

that does not mean l´m letting you kids

fart casually in the class.

Fart head!

You´re the one who farts!

Regardless, whenever someone makes a mistake,

we should offer care and forgiveness.

This is what a family should be like.

l hope as a class we can act like a united family, OK?

OK.

Now l want to discuss Langevin,

who was mentioned in the textbook.

He emphasizes that we should properly follow the principals of education.

As Langevin and Wallon says,

The first principal is justice.

The second is the equality of all social occupations.

The third is...

The third principal is

to accept a well-rounded education.

Welcome!

Welcome!

What would you like to buy?

Can l see that blue pen, and also the one right there?

OK, l´ll get it for you.

This is not it...

Nope, not it.

What type of pen would you like to buy?

l want something that has a slippery feeling.

Slippery?

Slippery.

How about a thicker pen?

Thick pens should have a slippery feel to them.

Do you want to try writing with it?

Good afternoon.

Hello.

Welcome!

Umm...

pen is used for writing

maybe you should try writing a couple of characters first.

Really?

This kinda look like a cat.

But why does the cat

have so many spots?

Then what should a cat look like? You try.

Sure, l´ve had cats before.

A Japanese cat...

looks like a tiger

thus it has a lot of stripes on its body.

l think this should be it.

Hey...your cat looks interesting

Anyway,

you should try writing instead of drawing.

Then what should l write?

Write a line that you like.

Or...your name?

Ah, name.

Ryo...a nice name.

What do you think?

Hmm, something doesn´t feel right

Then...you should try this type of pen.

Please.

Kae-chan.

Please excuse me.

Kashima-san...

You busy?

Why are you here?

l´m here to shop, of course!

Which pen do you recommend?

l want to switch to a different pen.

Ah, that silver one looks pretty good.

ls Hana-chan...

doing well over there?

Kae...

such a nice name.

Your name suits the business industry

lt sounds like the word ´´buy´´.

What do you like to eat?

Pasta...

Pasta´s pretty good.

Then let´s eat together tonight.

What?

l want to ask you some questions regarding Hana.

Recently she hasn´t contacted me...

l feel that something´s wrong.

That´s why

l want to get help from you.

Ah...

Sorry, l´ll come again.

Ah...

l saw the guy who was looking at my window that other day.

Really?

Yeah, that person came to the place l was working at.

Ah...

so what happened?

He came to buy a pen.

That´s it?

You´re not going to say your meeting

with him will ´´change your life forever´´?

Of course not.

Say,

you should stop wasting my minutes.

Sorry,

how are you? How´s England?

Yes yes, l´m the same as usual.

Also...

Kashima-san also came to the store today.

Um...

He said you haven´t contacted him recently.

Well, l--

What else did he say?

He said he wanted to ask me questions about you.

So l gave him my phone number.

ls that bad?

Not really.

Sorry, l have to go.

Ah, Hana, sorry l--

Talk to you later. Bye.

April 17th.

Every student´s personality is different/

ldentifying their personality and then recognizing them

is a very important thing.

´´lbuki Medal´´ huh?

What are you doing?

None of your business!

Stop it!

During cleaning time,

she is the perfect, organized girl who dusts every corner of the black board.

Bye teacher!

Good bye!

That´s dangerous.

He is an avid reader,

someone filled with creativity.

Next, l´ll mimic a duck.

There´s also the fun child that makes everyone laugh.

He gets an lbuki Medal too.

Also,

there´s the child who´s filled with individuality.

Ah, too bad.

Success!

Raise your arms.

Congratulations!

April 24th. Under the clear sky,

everyone went to a nearby stream and sketched.

The blue sky and the green trees

are all very dazzling.

Suddenly,

l remembered the phrase ´´the strength of the heart´´.

Everyone possesses strength in their hearts.

l wanted to tell the kids

we have the power to succeed in anything.

The strength of the heart...

Director,

Kanako-san told me to give you this.

Put it over there.

Excuse me.

Wait a minute.

Sit down.

Okay.

Try writing something with this.

What should l write?

Something you like to write.

Ah, these are Haitani Kenjiro´s words.

Someone before also wrote the same phrase.

Was it a woman?

Hm, l forgot.

What do you think?

lt´s very smooth.

No, very light.

and slippery...

That´s an odd way to describe things.

Sorry.

Try writing with this one.

Do you know the difference between the two?

Hmm...

Kae - there´s a guest waiting.

Okay.

Excuse me.

This pen writes great!

l agree.

This one is good for writing normal-sized characters.

This one writes a bit rounder.

This pen seems better.

You think so? lt writes great.

Welcome!

Hello.

You came again.

Can you sell this pen to me?

Well...

this pen is specially designed by our store.

Please wait for a moment.

Kanako-san/

Yes?

How much are we charging for this pen?

Where did you get this pen?

Ah, l just got it from the director.

That customer seems to really like the pen.

This pen, called ´´sweets,´´

is our store´s test product.

Test product?

Yeah.

l don´t think we have a set price for this.

Show him this pen

because we haven´t started selling the other one officially yet.

Okay.

This isn´t it...

lt can´t be this one?

Excuse me for a second.

Sorry.

Because this pen is a test item, it´s currently not for sale.

Ah...

Kanako-san.

ls there any way that you can just sell him the pen?

You can buy it.

lt´s good that someone wants it.

Thanks for your business.

Thank you.

The tricks played by chance

always surprises me.

l went to the library to prepare a quiz for my students,

but the surprising thing is...

l saw Takashi again.

Takashi?

What kind of person is he?

You want this one?

Takashi...

Our meeting is like those ones in movies.

Long time no see.

When did l last talk to Takashi?

l haven´t seen him ever after graduating from college.

We really haven´t seen each other for a long time.

Do you still live in that apartment?

Yes.

What about you?

Yeah, l haven´t changed much.

l see.

You´re a teacher now?

You´re really a teacher?

That´s great.

But it´s hard work.

l guess...

You´re now called ´´lbuki-sensei´´ huh?

Yup.

Hm?

Nothing.

What are you laughing at?

Wait, what´s so funny?

Nothing.

l want to see him everyday.

At that time,

l always wished that he would look at me, accept me.

But Takashi didn´t know about my feelings.

So at the end, l struggled alone.

You scared me!

During that time,

l also grew up a little.

The ´´sweets´´ guy haven´t been back.

Kanako-san, you´re wrong.

l just want to ask him if he likes using that pen.

He seems like an illustrator.

Hm?

He really is!

Ah, l can´t believe l said those things to him.

lf you keep thinking about him,

the goddess of destiny might smile at you.

Your concert date is soon, right?

Yes.

Ah, can you get me another cup?

Yes, sir.

Umm,

You still haven´t mentioned Hana-chan at all.

Didn´t you want to discuss something about Hana-chan with me?

Yeah.

Kana-chan´s voice through the phone didn´t sound very lively.

Also,

she haven´t called me recently.

Did something happen?

You definitely care about your friend, huh?

Of course, l support her studying abroad

and will cater to her needs.

Also, l´ll definitely go see her when l have time.

Then...why haven´t you gone yet?

Because l met you.

Eh?

l found that l don´t like Hana-chan,

l like you.

But l´m Hana-chan´s friend.

Of course l know that.

Sorry, l have to leave now.

Can you just think about it?

Excuse me.

Sorry for the wait.

Everyone - line up quickly!

Return to your spots!

May 29th.

Can everyone look at the camera?

Everyone was happy on our outing.

Even though the weather wasn´t good,

everyone was still energetic anyways.

OK everyone,

smile big at the camera.

OK, ´´Cheese!´´

Our class photo

did not capture everyone in the class.

Kimio-chan, who was already frequently absent from class

officially stopped attending school.

lt´s raining!

Everyone, return to the bus!

l put all my energy on the things that are in front of me.

So l didn´t notice that

the strength of Kimio-chan´s heart has weakened

Sorry

she still doesn´t want to see anyone

l see.

Did Kimio-chan mention any school-related things?

Um...

As a matter of fact,

when you told her to try her best

it put a burden on her heart...

l felt really defeated then...

My beliefs and dreams

has locked up a child´s heart.

Sorry, l´m really sorry.

Don´t worry about it.

The only thing l could do right now

is to trust the strength of Kimio-chan´s heart.

lshitobi-san?

You live here?

Ah, yes.

Can l take a look at your room?

What?

Do you have an interest in this house?

Huh?

ln fact, l´ve seen you here looking at this house before.

l saw you through that same window.

l see.

Sorry,

even though a lot of people are interested in this house,

l´ve already decided to stay.

l´m not sure if l´m really interested in this house.

Please have some tea.

Oh, right,

it´s probably because you also live here.

Go ahead.

Jasmine tea?

Did l not brew it well?

No no.

lt´s delicious.

Oh, you play music?

Yes, l do.

lt´s a mandolin.

Hmm...

Whoa, you´re good!

Play something else.

Then...

l will play a Russian folk ballad called ´´Light´´

This song calls out to the men on the battlefield to come home.

While watching the lights,

we think about our lovers´ songs.

´´Light´´

Are you playing this song for me?

Yes.

Hey.

Yes.

Can you just stay there and not move?

Huh?

Just like that.

lshitobi-san?

Um...

What do you want me to do?

Just stay there like that.

Can you face this side?

Okay.

Umm...

Just then, was l your model?

Ah, sure.

Cool!

You have to show it to me after you´re done.

Okay.

See you.

Um, lshitobi-san.

l haven´t thanked you.

Huh?

Even though l haven´t thanked you for

the mandolin concert coming up next Saturday.

l´m sure on the stage

someone will give flowers to me.

But, of course, l don´t really care either way.

l´m already a sophomore, so

l have no interest in those flowers anymore.

So you don´t have to give me flowers.

l understand.

When is it?

lt starts at 2 o´clock.

Welcome.

Hello, hello.

Look! There!

Excuse me.

Dad, faster!

Go prepare!

Okay.

Dad!

Kae-chan!

Kae-chan!

Here.

Hurry and get it!

After class,

l fainted because of anemia.

Ever since elementary school, l would faint often.

And l will probably faint often in the future.

Perhaps l don´t have any strength in my heart anymore.

The things that Kimio-chan told her mom

seemed like her answer to me.

l wanted to tell her that it´s not like that.

l regret that l couldn´t do anything for her.

Teacher!

Teacher!

Let´s go.

Bye bye.

Bye bye teacher.

Bye bye.

Because it´s for Kimio-chan, everyone sang very well.

l proposed to everyone to

join a choir contest.

Everyone approved.

l´m very happy.

Look.

The red part is sang by your partner.

Well,

You don´t have to force yourself to join

But...

everyone wants to sing with Kimio-chan...

Kimio!

Mother...

At the end,

l could only wait and believe in Kimio-chan´s strength of heart.

Can l do it?

l´m coming.

What happened?

Sorry for coming at a time like this.

l need to use your bathroom.

lt was like he knew that

l was depressed

and suddenly came by.

Because it was raining, we talked a long time.

When Takashi ate ice cream,

he liked using the flat wooden stick.

But l don´t like them.

My back would itch whenever l imagine the flat stick hiting my tongue,

Even though we talked about such trivial things, l still felt very happy.

l was more talkative than usual

because l didn´t know so much about Takashi.

lt seems like Takashi also has

experience with feeling rejection in school.

He encouraged me

´´lf you keep going, it will definitely work!´´

Because of what Takashi said, l want to fight more.

ln the end,

Takashi left before morning.

l suddenly felt lonely again.

lt´s true that after people fall in love, they will get lonely.

l must continue grading tests.

But...

l couldn´t forget Takashi´s face.

Are you finished?

Yes.

Done?

Done!

Yay!

Teacher, we´re done.

Good.

Today,

we finished ´´Children of the Sun´´ lssue nº1.

The biggest new is that

Nozawa Takumi-Kun saved

3 birds that fell from their nest.

lt´s drawn very well.

Eh?

The second topic is about my mistake.

´´Don´t know why

sensei can´t find Yamada-kun´s test´´

Should this be in here?

But Yamada looked very happy.

´´l never score well anyways´´

He´s saying that it´s actually a lucky thing.

l can´t be qualified as a teacher when l make these kinds of mistakes.

l can´t be silly.

l must shape up and

bring the ´´Children of the Sun´´ issue to Kimio-chan.

lf l could open up Kimio´s heart just a little bit,

then it´ll be good.

So happy.

Just like Takashi said,

if l don´t give up, others will listen.

Riding my bike,

feeling happiness again,

l arrived in front of Takashi´s apartment.

l screamed ´´UFO!´´ in front of his window.

Will Takashi come out?

l only thought about this, but never actually did it.

Kae-chan, what´s the matter?

Nothing.

Are you waiting for that guy who gave you a huge bouquet of flowers?

No...

He´s my best friend´s boyfriend.

Then, what about your boyfriend?

Did you get flowers from him?

No.

l see.

After that bouquet of flowers,

he showed up at least.

What do you mean?

Dad said that

he saw him holding a small bouquet of flowers.

Um...

Um,

Hm?

Can l go out for a bit?

Go ahead.

Where´s the UFO?

She´s a girl l met in Nepal.

So cute!

She´s very cute!

ls your girlfriend in this artbook too?

Nope.

You should draw one for her.

l can´t...

l´m too shy.

Umm...

Sorry for last time, l didn´t go to your concert

because l didn´t finish my work and couldn´t go.

That´s OK. By the way,

l´m looking forward to

your drawing last time.

Ah...

Please make me look more beautiful than the real person.

Ah, l have an art gallery coming up.

Art gallery?

That´s great!

Ah, but with my skills,

it´s only aimed towards publishers and advertisement firms

to let them know of our existence.

ls there anything l could do to help?

Eh?

l´m done with my concert, l have lots of free time.

Feel free to ask me for help.

Then...

mandolin?

Mandolin?

OK, l understand. l´ll try my best.

Really?

Yes

That´s great!

l´m looking forward to it.

Let´s go sing karaoke.

Yeah, let´s karaoke!

Eh, again?

lt´s fun!

l also want to go.

Wanna go?

Kae.

Do you want to sing karaoke with us?

l´m going to practice a bit more.

That´s rare. What´s the matter? The concert is already over.

Yeah, usually you´re the one who nags everyone to go karaoke.

Sorry.

Let´s go.

Kae´s not going.

Let´s go.

Everyone worked hard.

Bye bye.

July 24th.

l suddenly decided to visit Takashi.

He likes to eat the quail eggs that l put in meatballs.

He says, he gets more energy after eating them.

And thus calls the meatballs ´´Power ball´´

Power ball...

sounds kind of nice.

Coming.

l brought something for you to eat.

Thanks.

Do you like meatballs?

Yes, l like them.

Ah, l´m glad.

What´s this?

This is...

something l will eat at the park.

Let´s eat together.

Can we?

Please.

Sorry for the intrusion.

Do you want tea or water.

Tea please.

OK.

lshitobi-san.

Yes?

You must´ve drawn well ever since you were a kid.

Eh? What?

Ah, thanks!

You have a guest?

This is someone who helped me out at the pen shop.

l´m Horii.

Yup. Horii Kae-san.

Ah, l remember! The interesting girl that you told me about is her, right?

Hello...

Hello.

She helped me a lot with work.

Eh, what´s her name again?

You...

Ouch. She´s Yamazaki Hoshi.

Ah, l bought too many dishes.

l also have wine.

You´re so smart.

Here.

Sit here.

Go ahead and eat.

Are you a student?

Do you also want to become an artist?

No...

l want to become an elementary teacher.

That´s hard.

Ah, that newspaper serial...

because the novel didn´t get good reactions, they´re going to remove it by the end of this month.

What?!

Even though l don´t think the author is very good,

this is too fast.

lt´s really horrible, isn´t it?

Yeah.

That´s why

l got you a new gig.

You´re awesome.

Here.

This is a national advertisement, pretty good huh?

Yeah.

Want to do it? Yes, l want to do it.

What´s up?

Ah, sorry for intruding on your work.

No...

l´ll eat it if you put it down.

Ah, it´s OK. l´m really sorry.

Sorry!

l wanted to receive something special from Takashi.

Something that´s...just for me.

Hey.

Did you cross the bridge today?

Ah, l did.

Did you go with a woman?

Yup, a co-worker.

l see.

Why? Are you mad?

No, l´m not.

You are angry.

No l´m not. Why would l get mad?

Then that´s good.

l hope you´re not only listening to the surface meanings of my words.

l hope you will understand my heart.

But then again, l´m just thinking to myself again.

ln the end,

perhaps l don´t want to hurt myself.

Because of that thought, Takashi and l didn´t contact for a long time.

However, l suddenly saw him on the way home from school.

Takashi told me that legends say that

this river had a 7-color carp.

lf you saw that carp, your wishes will come true.

This is my first time hearing this story.

Did that girl come to school?

Not yet.

l see.

Then...if you see the 7-color carp,

make a wish for her to come to school.

Takashi didn´t say anything about last time.

But l feel happy with what he said already.

l like you.

That´s enough, right?

lshitobi-san?

lshitobi-san!

Do you know the legend about

this river having a 7-color carp?

Eh,

there´s a legend like that?

Yup. l heard it from lovers´ stories.

Ah...

There isn´t a carp, right?

Ah...

Are you leaving?

Yeah.

Do you want a ride?

OK!

Kae-chan, do you come by this river often?

Yup, it´s close to my school.

Ah, l see.

Do you also pass by here often?

Yes, often.

Then,

we might´ve passed each other here often.

Hmm, you´re right.

lt´s so hard for people to meet.

Before you´re aware of the person,

no matter how many times people pass each other, they´re not really ´´meeting´´

After you become aware of the person,

Then, you´ve really met.

You´re right.

l...

am glad l´m able to meet you

Sorry, what did you say?

Nothing.

Hold on tight! Grab onto my back.

OK.

Kimio-chan! Kimio!

Kimio! Kimio!

Kimio!

Kimio!

Kimio-chan...

Welcome back, Kimio-chan!

Thanks, everyone.

Even though we didn´t win first place,

to be able to sing this song with everyone... l will treasure this memory forever.

ln my heart, l will always remember this song.

l´ve gained courage from these kids.

lf l don´t give up, wishes will come true.

l also need to pursue my dreams.

and never give up.

l can do it!

Eh?

Huh?

Umm...

Excuse me.

l´m Kae.

lshitobi-san?

Ah, don´t come out.

Please hear my words from there.

l...

like you.

Do you have someone you like?

Or someone that you´re dating?

Sorry.

Um...

lt´s not me if there is such a person.

You don´t know anything, right?

His heart...

has always had someone in it.

The person in this painting is not you.

lt´s ´´that´´ person

He only used you for the outlines of the picture.

That painting...

is also ´´that´´ person.

l´m so embarassed,

l can´t believe l lost Yamada´s test.

lshitobi-san´s name...

is Ryuu, right?

Yup.

That´s his pen name.

His real name is...

Takashi.

What about it?

You still live in that apartment?

Yup.

You´re a teacher now, huh?

Takashi...

What´s the matter?

Here.

Takashi...

Long time no see.

What are you doing?

Nothing

What is it?

Are you hiding something?

Nope.

Let me see it!

What is it? Let me see!

Look! Nothing nothing nothing!

You´re sneaky...

l don´t want to get soaked.

What are you laughing about?

Because...

Kae-chan.

l heard from Hoshi.

l´m sorry.

l already have someone l like.

She used to live here.

but l was too afraid

to tell that person

my feelings

l also didn´t have the courage to paint her front face.

That´s why...l treat you as her shadow since you live in the same place.

l know to you, this is mean and unfair.

l´m sorry.

Still, l hope you will still come to see my art exhibit.

l will wait for you.

lshitobi-san!

Why can´t it be me?

l met you!

Not just brushed shoulders with you.

l´ve put you in my heart.

Even if that painting isn´t me,

but l still feel thankful and lucky that l´m able to meet you.

l...

Sorry.

School?

Yes, l know that school, but why do you want to go?

This notebook...

l want to return it to its owner.

Are you meeting your love rival?

For someone who just lost her love, you´re very kind.

l...

can´t hold on to this diary forever.

Truthfully, l want to see this teacher.

What happens after you meet her?

l don´t know.

But l´ve learned so much from this diary.

l learned how to love someone purely.

Kae-chan...

You are really in love.

Can l ask you girls something?

OK.

Are you students from the school?

Yes.

Then, have you heard of lbuki sensei?

ls she still at school?

Um...

She died.

What?

Mano sensei died.

She died?

What´s up?

Sorry, my shoe laces are loose.

Hey,

can l ask you something?

Were you in lbuki-sensei´s class?

Yup.

Can you tell me a little bit about her?

Did you know her?

She´s my senior, do you understand?

Yes, l understand.

ls it true that...

she died?

When she left school on her motorcycle, she hit a truck.

On the last day of school?

l really liked lbuki-sensei.

Me too!

Me too!

ls Kimio-chan here?

Kimio-chan!

Kimio-chan.

That big sister seems to be lbuki-sensei´s junior.

Let´s go.

Are you Kimio-chan?

Yes.

l...

actually, l haven´t met lbuki-chan before.

Right now,

l live in lbuki-sensei´s old apartment.

l read the diary she left there.

Peeking at other people´s thoughts probably isn´t right...

but l´ve learned a lot from reading this.

lbuki´s words

gave me a lot of courage.

Look,

she wrote a lot about you in here

l...

caused lbuki-sensei to worry a lot.

Sensei taught me that

we all have strengths in our hearts.

´´the strength of the heart´´

l also learned it from her.

This...

what is it?

On the last day of school,

lbuki-sensei threw this out of the window.

Kimio-chan, what´s the matter?

March 22nd.

Farewell day.

l didn´t want this day to come.

A lot has happened this year.

l believe

you´re all bright and shiny children of the sun.

You´re able to use your pure hearts

and constantly strengthen class 4-2.

We´re a great, big family.

Don´t ever forget the strengths of your hearts.

Always continue on with it.

Then...

Today´s lbuki Medal,

is for all 36 of you!

Yay!

Yay!

First, Moriyoku-kun gets one.

Yes.

Looks good, congratulations!

Congrats!

Here, Kimio-chan.

You´ve worked hard.

Great job.

lt´s really been a great year.

Congratulations!

l gained lots of power and strengths from Class 4-2.

You did a great job.

Watching everyone´s smile push me to work harder everyday.

Congratulations!

And then,

the times when l was scary, please forgive me.

You´ve worked hard!

Congratulations!

Don´t cry.

1...2...

3!

Yay!

Everyone probably knows already that

because l didn´t do very well on my daily column,

it was cancelled midway.

However, lshitobi-san did the illustrations for me,

and he received good praise from both the readers and the editors.

Truthfully, l´m a little jealous.

That´s why, in my next novel,

l want to write about the story of a father and his daughter.

This way,

l will ask lshitobi to draw the illustrations first,

and we can come up with the story side by side with the illustrations.

What l want to say is,

lshitobi´s art

effectively enables people to remember stories.

l think his work is great.

ln the future, lshitobi-san will...

Let´s thank the novelist.

Thank you!

Please feel free open discussions now.

You came!

Thank you

The person in the picture,

l believe we´re very similar.

Next, invited by lshitobi-san.

Performing mandolin,

please welcome Kae-san!

Please.

Please.

Eh, where´s your mandolin?

l forgot...

Ah...

l´m Horie Kae.

l came even though l don´t really belong here,

because l work at a pen store

and met lshitobi-san.

No matter what l say to lshitobi-san right now,

l won´t be able to pass on to him

a message of blessing and encouragement.

Therefore,

l brought along a message from someone who couldn´t be here.

ln my room,

l accidentally found a diary left by the previous owner.

On the last page, she left these words

She´s writing to the one she loves.

This is for lshitobi-san.

Perhaps l´m exaggerating,

but l think people meet each other

because their destinies are connected.

To be able to meet unexpectedly in a limited time,

l believe it´s a miracle.

Before l met you,

l was like these kids, l only knew how to dream.

However, words cannot describe

how lucky l am right now.

lf this is a dream, l hope l will never wake up.

lf this is reality,

even if it´s only a moment, l don´t care.

l can say proudly that l´m doing great.

Just thinking about you now,

my heart feels warm.

To me, you´re where the sun is.

Even though you seem cold on the outside,

inside, your heart is like the sun.

l´m probably not the only one who thinks this way.

Because you have so much charm.

From your paintings, l also saw

those who also felt your charm and your talent.

There will be many others in the future too.

Amongst them, you will shine brightly.

lt´s my greatest happiness if l can just stay by your side and silently protect you.

Takashi.

l´m so glad that l met you.

Onee-chan.

Onee-chan!

Kimio-chan, l delivered the message!

1...2...

Fly!

Wow...

lbuki-sensei, thanks for the strength of your heart!

l will draw

and not lose to lbuki.

l will continue to draw.

Me too.

l will learn from lbuki-sensei

and become a great teacher.

Kae-chan.

Yes?

Thank you.
