Notes:
  1. Raws are from here.
  2. I'm a beginner at Japanese so expect mistakes (I'll put a note when I'm really not sure what they're talking about)
  3. I took liberties for some of the translations.
  4. This wasn't checked, okay
  5. Please don't use without my permission. Thank you ^_^

Invitation
This is to inform you about our marriage
Yoshida Haru
Mizutani Shizuku

(Box): My sister is getting married
Takaya (thoughts): Marriage...


~~~~~PAGE 2~~~~~

Takaya: Well... Shizuku has already graduated from college, but Yoshida is still a student...
Takaya: What do they mean they're suddenly getting married...?

Takashi: You're still wondering after all these years?

Takashi: Well, that reminds me. Yoshino-san and I somehow accidentally created Shizuku while we were still studying
Takashi: Her father beat me up and made a big fuss in the university Because Yoshino-san was popular

*I don't understand this part*
Takashi: When I asked Yoshino-san afterwards, she said "I'm not sure that's the objective". Aaah, at that moment, I was mesmerized-!!

Takaya: ...That's nice. Mom and dad's story...

(Box): Although the parent is laughing complacently
(Box): the younger brother is a bit more complicated

Takaya (thoughts): ...We'll become part of the Yoshida family. There's no doubt about that...


~~~~~PAGE 3~~~~~

(Text): Even though it's too early
(Text): it'll happen someday anyway
(Text): For me, I at least want to graduate first---

Takashi: ? Who could it be?

Ooshima: Ah, Takaya-kun. Hello. Is your sister there?


~~~~~PAGE 4~~~~~

Takaya: Sensei

Ooshima: I came because of that mail from Mizutani-san. I thought it would be too much trouble so I'm handing this over directly.
Ooshima: Here

(Text on card)
Ooshima Chizuru
I'll definitely come!

Ooshima: ...This is the first time after a year isn't it, Takaya-kun.
Ooshima: Ever since my teaching practice, right?


~~~~~PAGE 5~~~~~

Ooshima: Congratulations again on your sister's wedding

Somebody: Stand up.
Somebody: Bow.

(Text on poster)
Teaching Practice


~~~~~PAGE 6~~~~~

Takaya: Ooshima-san
Ooshima: Takaya-kun

Ooshima: I was really surprised- I didn't know I was assigned to Takaya-kun's class!
Takaya: I think... I'm the one who is more surprised...
Ooshima: Takaya-kun really has grown a lot. I didn't recognize you for a moment!


~~~~~PAGE 7~~~~~

Ooshima: Ah, but you can't call me "Ooshima-san" just like what you did earlier! You have to address me as "Sensei" while in school or else I will get angry
Takaya: ..."Sensei"?

Takaya: ...It's rather nice. Thank you very much...
Takaya: "Ooshima-sensei"...

Ooshima: ? Then I'll have to go prepare.
Ooshima: Let's both do our best for these two weeks!
Ooshima: Mizutani-kun


~~~~~PAGE 8~~~~~

Murayan: How was it? Takaya--
Murayan: Your first love
Takaya: She called me "Mizutani-kun"...

(Box): Ooshima-san
(Text): is my sister's friend who is 5 years older than me
(Text): and is the person I admire

Ooshima: Sorry, are you alright?
Ooshima: Here
Ooshima: an apple candy

Takaya (thoughts): Damn it... A grown up Ooshima-san... "College Student" + "Sensei" + Ponytail"...
Takaya (thoughts): Ooshima-san is perfect...

Murayan: ...Takaya
Murayan: It's the penalty of love
Murayan: You just have to persist through it

Takaya: Murayan

(Box): Ooshima-san,


~~~~~PAGE 9~~~~~

(Box): Seeing her right now in front of me---

Student: Ooshima-sensei-- It's upside down--
Student: You can do it--

(Text): IT'S KILLING ME
Takaya (thoughts): Ooshima-sensei's behind...

Student: Hey, stop it already, you guys
Student: You should follow Takaya-kun's example. Super cool


~~~~~PAGE 10~~~~~

Ooshima: Takaya-kun, it's spring break now, right?
Takaya: Yes

Ooshima: Then you'll be a third year once the school year starts
Takaya: Yes

Ooshima: You'll be preparing for exams
Takaya: Yes...

Takaya: But somehow, I'm just doing what my father used to say...
Takaya: and go wherever life takes me...

Ooshima: Ahaha I see. Takaya-kun wasn't good at studying

Ooshima: But it's alright, you just have to do your best even if you don't know where you're headed. This is just the beginning for you guys, Takaya-kun

Takaya: ...Sorry for today
Ooshima: ?
Takaya: You took the trouble to come, but my sister wasn't around
Ooshima: It's fine. She's preparing for the wedding, right? And besides, I decided to come on my own


~~~~~PAGE 11~~~~~

*I only partially understood what Takaya was saying*
Takaya: ...Actually, my sister and Haru-san went before to the Judicial Institute to have their names entered into the family register. They didn't intend to do the ceremony. How troublesome.

Takaya: When we went to say hello to Haru-san's father, he said "This family already has 500 members, and the ceremony will simply increase it."

(Text around Taizou): Because it's already filled right now, you'll have to have an appointment

Takaya: They argued over and over again until they finally decided that Haru-san's family will handle all the expenses, and that's the end of the story...

Ooshima: Getting married is hard~~~

Ooshima: ...But how nice, getting married
Ooshima: Yuu-chan and Tokita-kun too
Ooshima: I also yearn to become a bride

Takaya: ...Isn't it too early?
Ooshima: Eh, really?
Ooshima: Oh, well, Takaya-kun is still a high school student
Takaya: I think it's too early.

Takaya: ...A partner, do you already have one?
Ooshima: !!


~~~~~PAGE 12~~~~~

Ooshima: Wh.... what are you saying!? How rude!!
Ooshima: I mean, looking at Takaya-kun's expression, 
Ooshima: I think that sort of thing is not good!!

Takaya: Because before
Takaya: I had to look up to see
Takaya: my sister's and Ooshima-san's face


~~~~~PAGE 13~~~~~

Takaya: Now
Takaya: You don't have to bend down to look at me

Somebody: ...Sensei
Somebody: Sensei


~~~~~PAGE 14~~~~~

Takaya: What are you doing in this place?
Ooshima: Waa that surprised me
Takaya: ...You're eating lunch?
Ooshima: Yeah, I ended up eating here
Takaya: That's tough...

Takaya: But nowadays, Ooshima-sensei is no longer easily bullied and is now popular among the students
(Text in Box): A strict Ooshima-sensei is also good
Ooshima: That's because you made fun of me so much

Ooshima: You have club activities after, right?
Ooshima: Fufu, that's youth. Good luck


~~~~~PAGE 15~~~~~

Takaya (thoughts): ...As usual, she treats me like a kid...
Takaya (thoughts): Like this is also fine...
(Text in Box): Already okay with anything

Ooshima: I wish I had participated in club activities too

(Text): Ooshima-san, you know
(Text): to become equal to you
(Text): I have to grow

Ooshima: Fufufu
Takaya: ?

Ooshima: Ah, before, I was also eating lunch at a place like this when Yoshida-kun talked to me
Takaya: Yoshi... You mean Haru-san?
Ooshima: Yes, Yoshida-kun

Takaya: .....
Takaya: ...Hn? Before?
(Text beside Takaya): Could it be, Ooshima-san...

Ooshima: Somehow, I feel nostalgic
Ooshima: Remembering the times when I was a high school student


~~~~~PAGE 16~~~~~

Ooshima: I admired Yoshida-kun and Mizutani-san. Just like them, I wanted to be able to directly say what I think
Takaya: .....Is that so?
Ooshima: Fufufu. Saying exactly what you're thinking, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing but,
Ooshima: to be able to convey what you feel takes courage
Ooshima: ...Probably, it was during my high school years when I really worked the hardest
Ooshima: That's why everything looked dazzling


~~~~~PAGE 17~~~~~

Takaya: ...I don't think Ooshima-san is not courageous. You always say properly the things that you have to say.
Ooshima: ...You really are Mizutani-san's brother, Takaya-kun

Ooshima: --Well!! I gotta go now. Takaya-kun, you also have club activities. You might get late---
Ooshima: Wa


~~~~~PAGE 18~~~~~

Ooshima: ~~~So-sorry. For being such a bother. That was stupid of me...
Takaya: ...No
Takaya: Please be careful

(Box): --That night, I


~~~~~PAGE 19~~~~~

(Text): saw a dream
(Text): I was an elementary student
(Text): and Ooshima-san was a high school student
(Text): My body,
(Text): hands and feet, were all small
Takaya (thoughts): Thin
(Box): No matter how much I extend my arms, they won't reach Ooshima-san--


~~~~~PAGE 20~~~~~

Takaya (thoughts): ...Ooshima-san and an elementary student...
Takaya (thoughts): Even I think that wouldn't work out...!! Bravo- What a dream...!!

Takaya: .....

Takaya: ...Murayan, I... am going to confess to Ooshima-sensei tomorrow...


~~~~~PAGE 21~~~~~

Takaya: Tomorrow is her last day of teaching practice... 
Takaya: I have to work hard so that the goddess of victory will smile upon me
Murayan: It's the offside of love *I don't understand*

(Box): After 5 years, eventually, I'll catch up to you

Takaya: --Ooshima-sensei
Ooshima: What is it? Mizutani-kun

(Box): And now, I'm within spitting distance

Takaya: ...Umm today, when you're finished with school---


~~~~~PAGE 22~~~~~

Students: Waaa, we're sorry!
Ooshima: N-no running in the corridor
Takaya: .....
Takaya: I'll help you

Takaya: --Ooshima-sensei, you weren't wearing this watch yesterday, right?

~~~~~PAGE 23~~~~~

Ooshima: ? Aah, yes. My boyfriend gave it to me yesterday.
Takaya: .......boyfriend?
Ooshima: Eh, yeah. We've been together for about 2 years.
Ooshima: ...Th-that's how it is

Ooshima: Takaya-kun, didn't you need me for something? What was it?
Takaya: .......


~~~~~PAGE 24~~~~~

Takaya: ...It's nothing.

Takaya (thoughts): Of course!!  She has a boyfriend!! It's Ooshima-san after all
Takaya (thoughts): Why didn't I think of that

Takaya (thoughts): ...Even if 5 years pass
Takaya (thoughts): it's also the same for Ooshima-san

Takaya (thoughts): That wouldn't change. I can never catch up.


~~~~~PAGE 25~~~~~

Ooshima: S-


~~~~~PAGE 26~~~~~

Ooshima: Somehow, Takaya-kun feels different....?
Takaya: You think so?
Ooshima: Before, you used to be a very obedient and good kid...  ...Is something troubling you...?

Takaya: ......
Takaya: I'm not a kid anymore
Takaya: And you're not my sensei anymore

Ooshima: !
Ooshima: ...Y-you're right. Sorr---


~~~~~PAGE 27~~~~~

*I probably messed up Takaya's speech. I'm so sorry*
Takaya: --But, if you want
Takaya: I could be a very obedient child
Takaya: If you like
Takaya: I'll try to get closer to you


~~~~~PAGE 28~~~~~

Takaya: No matter what, even if I can't catch up


~~~~~PAGE 29~~~~~

Takaya: I will still keep chasing after you

Takaya: ....During your teaching practice, I didn't have the courage


~~~~~PAGE 30~~~~~

Takaya: I like you, Ooshima-san

(Box): Time
(Box): continues to tick
(Box): for me,
(Box): for anyone,
(Box): it's the same


~~~~~PAGE 31~~~~~


(Text): Even if this continues on, I will still keep on hoping-----...


~~~~~PAGE 32~~~~~

Sasayan: Come on, it hasn't even started, but you're already crying
Natsume: Because, it's Mitty and Haru-kun's big day
Sasayan: You'll forget your speech if you keep that up

*couldn't understand what Iyo and the idiot trio are talking about, so skipping


~~~~~PAGE 33~~~~~

Somebody: I heard Ooshima-san is a teacher
Ooshima: Actually, I failed in the employment test...
Ooshima: I'm just part-timing as a temporary lecturer right now...


~~~~~PAGE 34~~~~~

Shizuku: Takaya
Takaya: ...Here, I bought you onigiri... It's cod roe flavor
Shizuku: Thanks. I felt like dying from hunger, because I'm stuck in this place


~~~~~PAGE 35~~~~~

Takaya: It's full of people I don't know...
Shizuku: That's right, Takaya. This wedding is not for the bride.
Shizuku: This is how it is in the world of business and money

Shizuku: ...Anyway, now that the ceremony is being held, it just dawned on my that my hair has grown
Takaya: ...You're beautiful, onee-chan


~~~~~PAGE 36~~~~~

(Text): ---Before
(Text): the one closest to my sister was me

~~~~~PAGE 37~~~~~

(Text): But now, it's not like that anymore
Takaya (thoughts): ...Be happy, onee-chan


~~~~~PAGE 38~~~~~

Ooshima: ...It was an amazing ceremony
Ooshima: Takaya-kun
Takaya: ...Ooshima-san


~~~~~PAGE 39~~~~~

Ooshima: The reception will begin soon. You're not coming in?
Takaya: ...Aa, I was just about to go in---...
Ooshima: Oh, I see.

Takaya: Umm, the other day, I'm sorry. I was being selfish.
Ooshima: !

Ooshima: ...A
Ooshima: Aah
Ooshima: Yeah
Ooshima: ....


~~~~~PAGE 40~~~~~

Ooshima: ..... ...You see
Ooshima: Takaya-kun is still in high school

Takaya: ...What I said that day
Takaya: all of it is true

Takaya: So please, don't run away from me because of my feelings

Takaya: ...If you really hate it
Takaya: ...then I'll give up


~~~~~PAGE 41~~~~~

Ooshima: ...I didn't hate it
Ooshima: Actually, I was really happy


~~~~~PAGE 42~~~~~

Ooshima: ...But, I'm sorry. To be honest,
Ooshima: when you told me your feelings, I was really surprised. 
(Text beside Ooshima): Because in my mind, Takaya-kun is still an elementary student

Takaya (thoughts): She was treating me like a kid
(Text beside Takaya): What a short-lived happiness

Ooshima: !!
Ooshima: Ta...!?

Takaya: ...I like you, Ooshima-san


~~~~~PAGE 43~~~~~

Takaya: I wanted to say that to you so much
Takaya: I like you

*I think I messed this up, too
(Box): Now, telling you
(Box): those words, your hand


~~~~~PAGE 44~~~~~

(Box): my thoughts of you
(Box): This happiness
(Box): These are


~~~~~PAGE 45~~~~~

(Text): my honest feelings

Takaya: ...Your face is red, Ooshima-san


~~~~~PAGE 46~~~~~

(Text): I'l reach out to you
(Text): again and again

Ooshima: ~~~I thought Takaya-kun was a really shy person...!!
(Text on top of Ooshima): Oh my gosh, what do I do

Takaya (thoughts): An indecisive Ooshima-san is also good...

Takaya: I'm going forward
