It's almost spring.

Cherry blossoms grow here very beautifully.

This year, together with Yamaguchi-sensei, I would like to...

I have to go shopping. I'll buy clothes to match Kujo-sensei tastes.

Eh? Shiratori-sensei, you gave Kujo-sensei to me, right?

Did I say something like that?

What about Te... I mean your destined man?

It seems that my destined man is Kujo-sensei.

No way.

Yamaguchi-sensei...

Kujo-sensei.

-Good morning. -Good morning

Good morning.

Your eye seems a little red.

Eh?

Did something sad happen to you?

If you have any worries, please ask me for advice.

Actually, I had a wedding ceremony yesterday.

Wedding ceremony?

When did Kujo-sensei get married?

Wow, congratulations.

Thank you very much.

Thinking of her as a bride, just fills my eyes with tears.

Can't believe it.

Alright, my rival's out.

After seeing my students so happy, I really feel glad I became a teacher.

Eh? So the wedding ceremony was...

...your student's? -Yes.

Is that so?

Is that so?

A wedding...

walking down the virgin road with Kujo sensei...

Follow me all of you.

Look at that big sun. Whenever you guys feel lost, that big sun will help you find the way.

Tears are sweat from the heart.

Sensei...

Sensei, sensei.

Ah, cut.

That's not right. If you act like that, your emotions won't connect with the audience.

Then, what should we do?

Baba-sensei, you should be more energetic, okay?

Kamiyama-sensei, act naturally.

Nigamata-sensei, smile more.

Imuzuka-sensei, speak louder.

Wanibuchi-sensei, you're great.

Thank you very much.

Got it?

Yes.

What exactly are you...

Practicing for the presentation

Next week one of our graduates is having his wedding ceremony.

We were asked to do a performance, but a speech or singing is not creative enough.

That's when the Head Teacher came up with the idea of performing a play on "Passionate School".

The title is "The Crying Teacher's Big War"

As expected. Nice idea Head Teacher.

You're a genius.

Oh, I used to be involved in theatre like stuff.

This is really lame, isn't it?

This is wonderful!

Eh?

For your students, you were all working together.

If I'm invited to a wedding, I'll use your precedent and

work hard to show my best!

A student's wedding ceremony. I want to attend one too soon.

Maybe Kuma's. Doesn't seem likely.

Alright, let's work hard.

Fight-on!

Good morning.

This is nice.

It has a gondola.

You guys, is someone getting married?

Students getting married? Isn't it a little too early?

What?

Who? Who is it?

Take?

Me?

Tsuchiya?

Wan.

Hyuga?

Nya.

Hashimoto?

Nagata?

Must be Nakanishi.

Which means that I'll finally have my debut at a wedding ceremony.

We're just looking at the pamphlets of the company that Tamura's going for an interview for.

Yup-yup.

Eh? Is that so?

Yeah, duh!

Excuse me. Who are you?

Where is my son?

Son?

Your son?

That good-for-nothing idiot son.

What do you mean by idiot son?

Whose dad is that?

Dunno.

Ah!

He's not here.

I made a mistake.

I thought so. There's noone in my class worth calling an idiot son.

They're all good kids.

I'm sorry for being late.

Huh?

Why are you here you stupid old man?!

What did you say?!

What's you're problem?

What's you're problem?!

Shut up, you stupid...

Is that by any chance, Yabuki's...

Dad?!

Move!

Translations by ran_chan & dancestar24, Timed & Editted by trec.

That's Yabuki's father?

He's a little different from what I imagined.

What are you thinking not taking any university entrance exams?

Are you stupid? Exams have ended already.

You haven't spoke to your father about your plans yet?

This guy didn't tell me anything.

I told you. You just don't listen to other people.

What?

What?

Please...

Sensei, please stay quiet.

This is our problem.

Who was it that brought the problem to school?

What'd you say?

What?

Bring it on.

Stop it, you two.

This is the staff room and,

let's talk over this. Okay?

I'm sorry. Sit down. Sit down.

Yabuki, why don't you tell your father what you are thinking about right now?

Hey.

Umm...

What are you going to do if you don't plan on going to university?

I'll work.

Why do you choose such a harsh path?

So, are you saying I won't have a hard time if I go to university?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Are you stupid? Do you really think I'm smart enough to go to university?

You. Stop making fun of your father.

Stop it you two. Where do you think you are?

We're sorry.

He really makes me mad.

What is it?

I just thought you sounded like your dad.

Completely.

Without a doubt.

I do not. I'm more like my late mother.

Oh yeah, you remember my mother, right?

Yeah, she was a beauty, right?

Really?

But Hayato is like his father, without a doubt.

Completely.

One beer, please.

Yes.

I'm so tired.

One beer over here too.

Yes.

Why is he here?

Hey, come on.

If it isn't Yamaguchi-sensei.

Hello.

I was a troublemaker too back in the old times.

I thought so.

I dropped out of high school,

without graduating, I had troubles finding a job.

I caused trouble to my late wife too.

I don't want my sons to go through the same thing.

But that Hayato doesn't understand anything.

But it's not like I don't understand what he's saying.

Even if you go to university, it doesn't mean you'll be happy.

And I don't think you'll be unfortunate even if you don't go.

But...

Right now, he's not sure of what he wants to do or what he wants to become. He's struggling.

He's struggling?

Yes. I think he's thinking about it all.

I've never met a teacher like you before.

Eh?

All the teachers before never looked at him properly.

I wonder who he took after. He's short-tempered and quick to jump to fight.

But he looks after his younger brother and his friends. He still has a kind side to him.

Yes.

Yamaguchi-sensei, please look after Hayato for me.

I will. Leave it to me.

Come on, raise your head.

Hello?

Hello? Yabuki-san, are you sleeping?

I'm leaving. I'll be home next week Thursday.

Okay. Take care.

Ok.

Taku, tell your brother, "We need to talk once I'm back. Don't dare run away."

You could've told him yourself.

Make sure the doors are locked, and be careful with fire.

Bye.

Bye.

I won't run, idiot.

Come on, come on.

Yes.

My dad comes home drunk a lot too.

Mine too. He says it's his way to lose stress.

It means they have nothing else they enjoy.

Isn't there anything more fun than this.

Oh no.

Dodge it, dodge it.

Idiot.

Are you alright? I'm so sorry.

There's no way I'm alright.

Oh!

You guys are from Yankumi's class...

Listen well, your voice must come from inside your stomach.

Now follow after me.

They're really into it.

Yamaguchi-sensei, shall we go for lunch?

I ordered in today.

Is that so? I actually asked Kujo-sensei for lunch today. So I'll go alone with him then.

Eh? If that's the case, I'll cancel the order.

Excuse me. This is Kumai ramen.

Ah, it came.

Sorry Kuma, can you cancel the ramen rice and meat and veggie meal.

No way.

Yabuki.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

What do you mean? I'm helping out.

Eh?

Yamaguchi-sensei.

Is there a problem?

No. There are no problems.

I see.

You ordered a lot, didn't you?

Yes.

What's your problem?

They'll find out you skipped school today.

I see.

Not that way.

No?

So, you're helping at Kuma's restaurant?

Well, I did cause him some trouble and his mother went to the hot springs today. So I'm helping just for today.

I see.

What?

You know courtesy and kindness.

Kuma's my important student, take good care of him.

Why are you asking me that?

Thanks for waiting.

Here's your ramen.

Excuse me, salty ramen and soya ramen, please.

Salty ramen and soya ramen.

Salty-ra and Soya-ra.

Alright.

No, no don't do it like that.

Look, you do this and then this.

That's how you do it.

Oh I see.

You don't do this at home do you?

There's only men at my house so we there's no need for this.

That's not the problem.

Oni-chan, I'm hungry.

I see, wait over there then.

Ok.

Here.

Thanks.

They're so cute.

But they're annoying.

I know what you mean.

Thank you for the meal.

Thank you madam.

This is a big change.

What? We thought there wouldn't be any customers and came all this way.

Nya!

They're...

Yankumi?

What are you doing?

How come even Odagiri and the others are here?

This is a rare change for my restaurant today.

They're helping out.

I see.

Water!

This is the first time I've seen such a face on Yabuki.

Maybe he's about to find something.

Dish!

Kumai-san, you've been running the restaurant from that age. That's amazing.

Restaurant? It's a small and run-down place.

But it's amazing.

It's amazing.

Did you decide on that from the beginning, that you would make ramen?

Not at all. I was always defying my parents and always thought "Like I would ever run that shop."

Then why?

My dad passed away when I was still in high school. That's when Yankumi told me...

"I didn't do anything filial towards my father."

"You can do it from now on. Live your life without doing anything that would embarrass your parents."

At that time, I thought that the only filial thing that I could do was to take care of that shop.

It's a run-down ramen shop but it's the place where my dad worked hard for all of us.

Come here.

I have to do my best until you guys grow up.

You said it.

Is that so? Your students were helping out at Kuma's shop.

Ojou's students are really good.

Right?

But Kuma's shop can't afford to hire anyone, right?

Minoru.

But the fact that he's been able to keep the shop up and running till now is really amazing.

Yeah, Kuma's working hard.

By the way, I heard that Shirokin-cho's guys closed their shop.

Maybe they failed in planning properly.

Oh yeah, I heard that the fish shop there closed down too.

The fish shop too?

I heard there are plans to make a big mansion there.

Ojou

Then the fish shop and the grilled-chicken shop are being forced out of there?

Shirokin-cho is close to Kuma's shop.

Can you look into this a little more?

Yes.

Kumai-san, do you honour your father?

Not at all.

But no matter what we say, fathers have a big aura, don't they?

Not my dad. He's loud, sluggish, and short-tempered.

You'll understand one of these days.

We've been waiting for you.

Kuma-san, you were here?

What is it with you guys?

Who the hell are you?

Stop it.

Can you give us a good answer to matter we discussed, Kumai-san?

I already told you. I won't sell that place to you.

Is that so? That's very unfortunate.

Kumai?

Head Teacher.

What with that face?

It's none of your business.

Good morning.

You're still getting into fights even after becoming a society man?

You're still a useless guy.

What'd you say?

You wanna bring it on?

Kuma, stop it.

You wanna fight?

What'd you say?

You wanna fight?

What'd you say?

Calm down.

What'd you say?

Hey Kuma. Did you get into a fight?

No, I fell on my way yesterday.

Even my legs hurt.

Is that so? What is this? Be careful from now on.

Goodmorning

Good morning, Yabuki.

Good morning.

Well, I have to go now.

Ok, thanks. - Yeah.

Kumai-san, I'm free after three.

Eh?

Yabuki, You're going to help out today too?

Yeah, for a while. Right, Kumai-san?

I see. Take care of him.

Yeah.

See ya.

Yabuki, did you have a good talk with your father?

Eh? Talk...? I don't even know what I want to become.

You should tell him these feelings.

Your dad will definitely understand.

I wonder about that.

I'm the only one still talking about this. It's way too late.

That's not true. It's never too late to think about your life.

Right?

That hurts.

Thanks for waiting.

Welcome.

Oh, you're doing it.

Everyone's checking up on me.

Eh? Everyone?

If it isn't Yankumi.

Oh?

Which means you guys too.

Because it's too interesting.

Right right.

Seeing a courteous Hayato is really rare.

Don't come to watch me as entertainment.

We will.

It fits you well.

Huh?

Your making too much noise.

I'll have roasted pork fillet ramen and gyoza.

Make it yourself.

Hello, welcome to the bad tasting ramen shop.

Hey, what's with you guys?

If you want to interrupt the business, go somewhere else.

What'd you say?

Yankumi, leave them.

Kuma.

Such an authoritative woman. Is she your girlfriend?

I'm his homeroom...

You're wrong. She's just an ordinary customer.

Kuma.

Is that so? I guess we'll leave for today for this cute customer's sake.

Let's go.

Yes.

This is the last warning.

Aren't they doing the land speculation?

They're threatening you to close down, right?

Today's not the first time, is it?

The injuries on your face. You were beat up by them, right?

Why didn't you ask me for help earlier?

You're being distant not telling me about such an important matter.

But it's okay now.

I'll help you out.

Leave it to me, okay?

Don't kid around.

Kuma?

You're being too nosy. This has nothing to do with you, Yankumi.

Nothing to do with me?

You're not my teacher anymore. It's been three years since we graduated.

Stop acting like you're still my teacher.

I have a plan too.

Even if you don't help me, I can still keep going.

Kuma.

Stop being so nosy. You're being a nuisance.

Kuma, kuma, kuma wait.

Kuma.

I'm worried about you. Even if you think of me as a nuisance, I can't leave you alone.

Kuma.

What happened to him?

Did he really change?

Don't tell me, he's going to close down the shop.

There's no way he'd do that. Why can't you understand how important that shop is to Kumai-san?

You should know that better than anyone.

Yabuki.

It's too pitiful for Kumai-san if you say something like that.

Hayato, you know something, don't you?

Yabuki.

They came yesterday too, and when Kumai-san told them he wouldn't close down...

"Yabuki, please don't tell Yankumi about this. I don't want her to get involved in this."

"She won't leave it alone if she found out about this."

She would definitely say "I will protect you, so leave it to me."

Yankumi's your teacher now. She has to think only about you guys.

But...

I was really helped out by Yankumi before.

I can't cause her any more trouble.

I will take care of this by myself.

He told me not to come to his shop anymore because he doesn't want me to get involved.

But I couldn't agree with him, so I went there today too.

Kumai-san is trying to protect that shop and his family all by himself.

I see. Kuma's been through that.

Yeah. Kuma's that kind of a guy.

Kuma won't let that shop close down.

Right

Ojou. I wonder if something happened at school.

Who knows.

Oya-san, seems like Kumai's shop is also a target for the land plans.

I see.

You guys, what about school?

How about you?

I have some...

You're too obvious.

You're going to them, right?

We thought you'd be going alone.

So we'll come with you.

What is this?

Teruo.

They came again?

Sorry Teruo. I was too scared so I gave them the shop's deed.

I can't take you guys along.

Why?

We're worried about Kumai-san.

Yankumi.

Hello.

Is this Yamaguchi-sensei? This is Kumai Teruo's mother.

Mrs. Kumai? What's wrong?

Teruo, he...

Kuma went alone?

I understand. Please leave it up to me.

What happened to Kumai-san?

Don't worry and go back to school.

Yabuki.

You guys can't go.

What is it?

I can't let you guys go.

Why?

This is different from your stupid fights.

I will definitely save Kuma so don't follow me.

Did you hear me?

Okay, we won't go.

Hey Ryu.

You guys too.

You understand me?

Yeah.

But Hayato.

That idiot, causing me trouble.

Hey, Yankumi.

Hey Ryu.

Kumai-san.

Yabuki, you...

It's impossible for you alone.

No you cant.

I can't cause you trouble.

I'll come with you.

Go home.

You're going to protect that shop, right?

Yabuki.

Thank you for letting us know.

Don't worry, we'll take care of the rest.

Yes, thank you.

Tetsu.

Yes.

Wait.

Wait for me.

What do you want, Kumai-san?

Bringing along a high schooler.

Give it back.

Ah, you're talking about this?

Give it back.

That run-down place, it's not like it has a lot of value.

To me it's not some run-down place.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Give it back.

Give it back.

Kumai-san.

Don't touch them.

Yankumi.

Yamaguchi.

You're that lady.

You really took care of my students.

Who are you?

Me? I'm their teacher.

Teacher?

You've been playing really dirty.

I'm sure a teacher won't understand business talk.

You're telling me that this dirty work is business.

Sensei, does this look like a normal company to you?

It doesn't.

To me, it only looks like a hangout for a bunch of dirty guys who would do anything for money.

What'd you say?

Send her home.

Yes.

Is bullying the weak part of your work too?

Get lost.

Did they do anything to you?

They were just working hard to protect his important shop and family.

Don't do something dirty as using violence or threatening people.

The feelings of protecting what's important to you won't lose to something dirty like you guys.

Don't think we'll let it end like this.

I'm prepared.

Yamaguchi.

Yankumi.

I heard that Uchido Hannakuyari was here.

Grandpa.

You're...

The world really has changed.

People like you who don't know courtesy and kindness have started walking openly among everyone else.

Should I, Kuroda Ryoichiro, listen to your story in place of my granddaughter?

Kumiko, let's go home.

Yes.

Ouch I said.

Ouch.

Tolerate it a little.

Hayato, Yankumi.

Are you okay?

Yankumi, I...

Kuma, you're still my student.

Eh?

You were the one who told me during graduation that I'll always be your homeroom teacher.

I'll always be on your side.

I'll help you whenever you need it.

Don't say sad things like not asking me for help.

Sorry, Yankumi.

There.

You guys too. You'll still be my students even after graduation. Forever.

Don't forget that.

Yeah.

Before that, you guys have to graduate.

You're one to talk.

Let's go home then.

Don't push, it hurts.

Hey, eat breakfast. I'll make it.

Hey...

What is it?

I really won't go to university.

I see.

I still don't know what I want to do.

For now I want to become a man who would protect what's important to him.

That has nothing to do with studying, right?

I mean you aren't so bad too.

Right Taku?

Yeah.

Hayato.

Oh well, I'm going now old man.

Be careful.

What is this?

He was hyped up saying he would make it sometimes.

I'm going now.

Yeah, be careful.

Idiot.

Good morning.

Now, cheers to our success.

Cheers!

What are they doing?

It's to celebrate that wedding ceremony.

I didn't know wedding ceremonies are this joyous.

It's all thanks to Head Teacher Sawatari.

Is that so?

What should we do next?

How about Kabuki for next time?

Good idea.

Hey hey, I'll show you a picture.

They did it looking like this?

Eat up all of you.

Thank you.

Is it okay bringing so much?

Yeah, it's to celebrate the shop.

Because everyone from the neighbourhood opposed the idea, they stopped the construction plans.

That's great.

Yeah. You, you and you and you.

Thank you.

Alright, I'll dig in too.

Ah, my gyoza?

We ate it.

You guys are too mean.

Give me some too.

Hey, my gyoza.

Wait.

Give me some gyoza too.

My gyoza.
