[Went to school infirmary]
Ayano: You are the new principal? I am the school nurse teacher, Ayano.
Narumi: Please give me medicine for my stomach.
Ayano: No.
Narumi: Eh?! (Sit down) School infirmary can’t prescribe medicine?
Ayano: Because there is School Health and Safety Act, nurse teacher can’t have medical practice.
Narumi: I didn’t know this… There are so many things I don’t know!
Ayano: This is peppermint tea, please.
Narumi: Peppermint?
Ayano: It has effect on caring your digestive system.
Narumi: Thank you. (Drink) It’s peppermint.
Ayano: (Smile) You said “I’ve stomachache”. Is it stress? Principal.
Narumi: No so…
Ayano: The former principal fell during the school gathering.
Narumi: Eh?!
Ayano: ……. To endure everything is harmful to you, Principal. To put everything inside yourself is the worst thing.
Narumi: Ayano-sensei… How should I apply the skills I have acquired thus far? I have no idea at all.
Ayano: Well you are in a place which is not your specialty.
Narumi: I already feel that there is a hole in my stomach…
Ayano: Though it must be tough, please try your best. I shall cheer for you.
Narumi: Cheer for me?
Ayano: Yes!
Narumi: Can I once in a while come here?
Ayano: No~
Narumi: Eh?! Principal comes to the school infirmary, no no.
[Went to headquarters]
Narumi: Managing Director Kagaya, this is Narumi.
Kagaya: What a pity, Narumi. If you didn’t work for Yagi but for me there wouldn’t have been such fuss to you. It’s me who decided to send you to Keimeikan High School. Of course the reason is you rebuilt Hirosaki Branch Office. Even we are enemies I recognise your capability.
Narumi: (Reluctantly) Thank you.
Kagaya: (Hit desk hard, Narumi bit shocked) Don’t say this when you don’t think so! You are recognised by both your superiors and subordinates. Even you are sent to branch office you made a good rebuilding result, well, guy like you are useful to the company. But when I see guy like you who shows nice face to everyone to try to get promoted, I feel it’s just disgusting. I hate such guy very much. I really thought that the Education Division can be cut down. But the school was bought by President, a word from the top, I can’t just crush it. Anyway, make there a positive balance. This is your job.
Narumi: (Reluctantly) Yes.
Kagaya: Don’t be crushed easily like Yanagisawa.
Narumi: Eh? What happened to Deputy Manager Yanagisawa?
Kagaya: That guy is Acting Section Chief now. He’s admitted to hospital. He fell to rail from metro platform. Hahahahahahahaaaaaa.
Narumi: (Worried) What hospital is Deputy Manager Yanagisawa… Acting Section Chief in?
Kagaya: How should I know! It’s good he’s still alive, right?
Narumi: Excuse me. (Leaving)
Kagaya: Ah yes. (Narumi looked at Kagaya) Comments towards school is related to company image. Don’t ever make any scandal! Bullying, shoplifting, violence… If there is problem you are the one to take the responsibility. You understand it, right~ Principal.
[Leaving headquarters]
Former colleague 1: Narumi!
Former colleague 2: Narumi-san?
1: Why are you here?
Narumi: Why am I here… After all I am a staff here.
2: What a pity! When you were back from Hirosaki I thought I could work with you again. Ah but, you are principal now? In one sense you get promoted, right?
Narumi: This is not the case.
1: It can’t be helped. Managing Director Yagi has a favour on you.
Narumi: (Don’t know how to response)
1: We are late for meeting, Minami.
2: Yes. (To Narumi) Someday later please tell me more about school. (1,2 left)
Matsubara (standing behind all along): What a chance you are here, let’s have dinner together? I shall be off duty 19:00.
Narumi: Fine, but, Sato, do you know which hospital Deputy Manager Yanagisawa is in?
[Hospital]
Narumi: Deputy Manager!
Lady in room: Narumi-san!
Yagi: Ah, Narumi-kun. Even you don’t bother to come…
Narumi: You fell to rail from the platform?
Yagi: I was in a muddle, then lost my footing. I got fracture of my waist and am in such condition. (Narumi looked worried) Haha. If I wanted to commit suicide I would be jumping when the train comes.
Narumi: … Right so.
Yagi: Take a seat.
Narumi: (Bow and sit) Lucky… though I shouldn’t say "lucky”...
Yagi: What about you? School thing must be tough.
Narumi: There are so many things I’m not used to. Mentally I’m bit…
Yagi: If it’s Narumi-kun, you’ll end up achieving something.
Narumi: (Bitter smile) Rebuilding Hirosaki branch office was not the only reason. I am downgraded to Keimeikan… because I am detested by Managing Director Kagaya.
Yagi: I think there is also other reason. At university you took course on teaching, and got license of Maths teacher, right?
Narumi: Eh? Ah, that was just to play safe in case I didn’t get a job… I didn’t really want to be a teacher.
Yagi: Your father passed away when you were in secondary school. He was a high school teacher?
Narumi: Why you know this…
Yagi: You said it yourself. During the company entrance interview. Therefore MD Kagaya thought that you suit this work?
