00:00My son?

00:02Here!

00:03Excellent.

00:04My name is Yuma, I'm 23 years old.

00:07When I graduated from university, I couldn't find a job anywhere,

00:10so I became a substitute teacher at an elementary school.

00:13The first assignment was a 4th grade homeroom class.

00:16I could tell instantly I would have to work harder with one of the girls I was teaching.

00:21Children at that age all have different characters, and generally do whatever they want to do.

00:26She wasn't particularly disobedient, she was just acting her age.

00:30You're really good at origami, aren't you?

00:33That's great!

00:34You can make so many different types of flowers.

00:37Yeah!

00:38I was very good at origami, but lacked concentration when it came to learning.

00:43Even still, it was nice to see her smiling when I praised her skills.

00:50My son, are you listening?

00:53Repeat what I just said.

00:56She was well behaved, but it was difficult to keep her attention.

01:00I had to be careful of how I dealt with her.

01:03All of my students were at an age where it was difficult to concentrate.

01:07It wasn't just mine.

01:08I always praised them if I saw they were paying attention to me,

01:11and told them off if I saw that they weren't.

01:14As from today, if I say I need your attention,

01:16I want you all to look at the person who is speaking and concentrate on what they say.

01:21Okay?

01:22Okay!

01:25Mai, who had not been listening to me,

01:27accidentally fell over and onto another child during gym class.

01:31I'm glad you're okay.

01:33I'm sorry.

01:35It's okay, I'm fine.

01:37After I returned the injured girl to the classroom,

01:39I took Mai aside to speak about what had happened.

01:43Didn't I tell you before gym class to be extra careful?

01:46Did you hear me?

01:49If you had actually been listening to me this time,

01:51we could have prevented this accident.

01:55Wouldn't you be sad if people didn't listen to you?

01:58I'm not sad!

02:00Why not?

02:01I was sad when you didn't listen to me.

02:04You can go back to the classroom now.

02:06Okay.

02:07Mai was stubborn until the end.

02:09I couldn't imagine what caused her to be that way.

02:13I didn't have much time to keep looking for new jobs,

02:15because I had to prepare for classes and events.

02:18My life was super busy,

02:20but I still enjoyed managing the classroom.

02:23Everyone's attitude to work has improved a lot recently.

02:26The transition between playing and studying has become very good.

02:30So as a reward,

02:32I'd like to make the next class meeting a bit more exciting.

02:35Shall we have a dodgeball tournament?

02:38Yeah!

02:40I tried my best to keep a good balance between being strict and also fun.

02:44That's why I decided to give them a little reward.

02:47Maybe it would make it easier for me to communicate with Mai.

02:51In the end, I chose to take a job with a private sector company

02:54instead of becoming a teacher.

02:56I will be leaving in March,

02:58and you kids will be getting a new teacher.

03:00I'd like to thank everyone for such a great year.

03:03It was a pleasure to meet you all.

03:05Teacher, you're leaving?

03:08No way, why?

03:10I was quite emotional about leaving.

03:13I figured the kids would soon forget about me.

03:16On my last day in the classroom,

03:18it became clear to me that the kids were very sad to see me go.

03:23Here, teacher. The whole class wrote you a letter.

03:26Thank you so much. I will read it later at home.

03:30It had only been a year, but I had enjoyed it so much.

03:34That day was a very emotional day for me.

03:37Just as I was leaving the classroom to make my way to the staff room,

03:41Mai stopped me.

03:43Teacher, wait!

03:45What's up, Mai?

03:47I folded these two cranes.

03:49They are here for you, teacher.

03:52That's amazing! You are so talented!

03:55Thank you.

03:57Mai could be stubborn and troublesome at times,

03:59but I was very impressed by your skills.

04:02Even after quitting teaching,

04:04the children would occasionally write to me.

04:06The number of letters dwindled as the years went by,

04:09but I always made it a point to write back.

04:11I'm so grateful.

04:13I can't believe they still remember me.

04:16Six years later,

04:18there was only one child from that class

04:20who still wrote to me frequently.

04:22It was Mai, the girl who gave me the double crane.

04:25Hello, teacher. How are you doing?

04:28I'm now a high school student,

04:30and I've joined the dance club.

04:32We have a recital coming up. You should come and see it.

04:35I've enclosed some tickets here for you.

04:37It's on... day... month...

04:40at 2 p.m. at the XX Hall.

04:43Personal contact with students after retirement

04:46was technically prohibited,

04:48so I considered refusing the invitation.

04:50Even though she was a student, she was also a girl.

04:53Eventually, I decided I would go,

04:55but wearing a disguise.

04:57I wonder if I'll be able to tell which one is her.

05:01I recognized her right away.

05:03She had grown up a lot,

05:05but still had the same face.

05:07She used to be such a spaced-out kid,

05:10but there she is, dancing beautifully.

05:13I wanted to meet Mai in person to congratulate her,

05:16but it was complicated,

05:18so I wrote her a letter instead.

05:21Excuse me, could you give this letter to Mai, please?

05:25Yes, of course.

05:27A few days later, I received a letter back from Mai.

05:30Hey, teacher. Thank you for coming to watch.

05:33Sorry we could not meet in person.

05:35I'm going to invite you to come again,

05:37and this time you better wait for me.

05:39Mai.

05:41I was so happy to see how much she had grown

05:44that I began to attend other students' sports events

05:47and art exhibitions.

05:49Four years later, I received a letter from Mai,

05:52as well as a picture of her coming-of-age ceremony.

05:55Hi, teacher. How are you?

05:57I've just turned 20 and had my coming-of-age ceremony,

06:00and I'm attending a university in the prefecture.

06:03It would be great if I can send you some e-mails

06:05from now on instead of letters.

06:07Please let me know your e-mail address.

06:09Mai is maixx at xx.com.

06:13Already 20 years old.

06:15That was fast.

06:17I sent her an e-mail to say thanks,

06:19and she replied immediately.

06:21Thank you for complimenting me on my kimono.

06:24You went out for drinks with the players

06:26from a baseball team, didn't you?

06:28I saw you on their blog.

06:30Could we meet up somewhere?

06:32I have something I'd like to discuss with you.

06:34I wasn't so sure about meeting up with a woman

06:37who had been my student,

06:38but I was curious about what she wanted to discuss with me,

06:41so I decided to do it.

06:43Teacher! Long time no see.

06:46You look so old.

06:48Hey, is that a way to greet someone?

06:50I was 23 back then, but I'm still only 33 now.

06:54You've grown into a fine adult, I must say.

06:57Teacher, are you married?

07:00Is there someone you like?

07:03None of the above, I guess.

07:05I'm all about work.

07:07I love you, teacher.

07:08Ever since I was a kid.

07:10Please go out with me.

07:12Uh...

07:13Wow.

07:14There are definitely couples with our same age difference,

07:17but it's different for us.

07:19I was your teacher, and you were my student.

07:22I can't do it, but thank you.

07:25I've been waiting to turn 20 for a long time to ask you this.

07:29Please be my boyfriend!

07:31I'm sorry, Mai.

07:33I still want to be your friend.

07:35We've known each other for a very long time.

07:38I had no choice but to leave her and go home.

07:42I thought Mai was just stuck on her nice memories of me from the past.

07:46When I retired, her feelings and memories about me

07:49must have become stronger and stronger.

07:52That's what I thought, at least.

07:54After that day, Mai kept sending me emails as if nothing had happened.

07:58I kept replying to her, until one day the emails stopped arriving.

08:02I was curious about what had happened,

08:04but I figured she must have been too busy with college.

08:07One day I was taking a walk on my day off.

08:10Teacher!

08:11Hey, Shota!

08:12Long time no see!

08:13What's up?

08:15It was Shota, one of my old students.

08:17He was now 20 years old and had recently become my drinking buddy.

08:21Teacher, Mai's feelings are real.

08:23I've been in love with her for a long time,

08:25and I finally confessed it to her.

08:27She told me she couldn't go out with me because she's in love with someone else.

08:31I don't mind if it's you.

08:33I just want her to be happy.

08:35It doesn't matter if she used to be your student.

08:38You should take up her offer.

08:41Hmph.

08:42You have really grown up, haven't you?

08:44I'll think about it.

08:45In my head, she was still just a little girl.

08:50A few days after meeting Shota,

08:52I'll give you my most precious gift.

08:54I've been waiting till I turn 20.

08:57How did you get my address?

08:58Did Shota give it to you?

09:01Mai suddenly barged into the house and began to beg.

09:05Mai, I need to talk to you.

09:07Can you please get off me for one second?

09:10I'll only leave if you say you'll go out with me.

09:13I was overwhelmed by Mai's feelings.

09:17Okay.

09:18Okay.

09:19Will you go out with me?

09:22Really?

09:23I'm sorry for being so pushy.

09:25I promise I'll do my best to make you like me.

09:28I figured Mai would eventually be disillusioned

09:31and leave me because I was too old for her.

09:34I was surprised to see how devoted she was to me.

09:38You're a good cook, Mai.

09:40I really enjoyed the food you made.

09:43I really enjoy cooking.

09:44I've been practicing so that one day I would be able to cook for you.

09:48She's a nice girl.

09:51I expected her to grow tired of me because of my age,

09:54but now I feel like I can't live without her.

09:58I wish we could stay like this forever.

10:01Slowly, Mai began to open to me more and more.

10:06We've been dating for two years.

10:09Hmm.

10:11How did that get there?

10:13Please marry me.

10:14If we get married,

10:15you won't have to feel guilty about being my teacher anymore, right?

10:19I'm sorry.

10:21I know I shouldn't care about anyone's opinions.

10:24Will you marry me?

10:26Of course I will!

10:28It wasn't easy,

10:30and it took a long time,

10:31but eventually,

10:32we became husband and wife.

10:34Now my son and daughter are in elementary school.

10:37While I was dating Mai,

10:39I still felt a little bit guilty,

10:41so all we did was exchange emails,

10:43and occasionally I would hold her hand in public

10:45until we actually got married.

10:47When I went to my children's open days at school

10:49and saw a young male teacher,

10:51I couldn't help but crack a smile.

10:53As a father,

10:54I have mixed feelings about what I did.

10:57If I made her father feel strange,

10:59I apologize,

11:00but I will take good care of her,

11:02forever.

11:17Thank you for watching!
