Principal: ...Kobayashi-kun.

Yamato: Yes.

Principal: <smile>
	 I'll tell you something nice since you've helped.  There's a jizou-sama behind you, right?

Yamato: A jizou-sama?

Yamato: I wonder what this says.

Kengo: ..................
Kengo: ......Wait,

Narration: He's got his hands full with just himself.
	 Kengo Kobayashi

Kengo: It won't help to ask me about anything but math.

Chihiro: True.  True.
Chihiro: After all, Kengo-kun's a math fanatic baseball fanatic.  He can only think about one thing at a time.

Kengo: I'm going to hit you.

Chihiro: Fubuki-chan's like that.  In that respect,

Narration: Chihiro Kobayashi

Chihiro: you can rest easy, I'm here.

Yamato: .....

Book: Good Child Classic Literature

Yamato thinks: But if there's just one thing I'm uneasy about...

Hikage: Oh,
	 changing classes?
	 <frankly>
	 We don't.

Narration: Hikage-kun.

Yamato: Really!?
	 <excited scream>

Hikage: Yeah, this school's almost completely a same-class pattern.
	 <laugh>

Classmates: We don't even split into those going to college and those looking for work.
	 Is that ok.
	 Isn't it?

Hikage: Let's get along in 2-A as well, Kobayashi-kun.

Yamato thinks: Oh, I see...
Yamato: Ok......!

~~~~~~~~
Yamato thinks: I see.  I'm relieved!
Yamato: Uh-oh.
	 <wind blows>
Yamato thinks: Wait.  Wait.

Sign: Principal's Office

Paper: <flutter, flutter>

Kiritani: ...more than that, you're asking too much Principal.
Kiritani: 4 people in 1 class with the same last name!
	 Not to mention the Satou quadruplets in E-gumi.

Narration: (laugh)

Yamato thinks: Hm.

Principal: ...really?  Well, but...

Kiritani: Next year, let's finally change classes!  Ok!?

Yamato thinks: Hm?

~~~~
Principal: ...I think it's good that they get along...

Kiritani: Not at all!!

Yamato thinks: Hm!?

Kiritani: It makes teaching difficult.  The teachers dislike it as well!

Teacher: Yeah, yeah.

Kiritani: This time, seriously!  Please.

Yamato thinks: Huh!?

Kiritani: You understand.

Principal thinks: But I am serious.

Yamato thinks: Huhhh!?

<door noises>

Principal: <sigh>

Yamato: Principal-sensei--
	 Ack.

Principal: You surprised me.
	 <surprise>!?
Principal: Ko-Ko-Ko-Kobayashi-kun!?!? 

Yamato: Just now!!  Just now they were talking about 1-A!?  My class is going to change!?
	 <whimper, whimper>

Principal: Um, er!?
	 That is-

~~~~~~~~
Yamato: <whimpering>

Principal: Oh!
	 I get it.
	 ...I see!
Principal: Don't worry!  You'll be ok!
	 <tap>
	 The one that'll transfer will probably be one of the other 3 Kobayashi.

Yamato thinks: The other 3...... which means.........

Fubuki: Wait!

~~~~
Yamato thinks: Fubuki-chan or

Fubuki: Kengo Kobayashi!  Don't just study math, ok!?
	 I won't be able to catch up.

Yamato thinks: Kengo-kun or

Kengo: ...I quickly get tired of other subjects.
	 No big deal.

Chihiro: How noisy.

Narration: <-He's not worried?

Book: Classic Literature Traps

Yamato thinks: Chihiro-kun!?

Narration: It's an unnecessary shock......!!

Yamato: <doomed>...

Kengo: What's with him?

Chihiro: Got me...?

~~~~~~~~
Yamato thinks: Not that--
	 Er--
	 After we're finally getting along this well.  Losing somebody, that's- that's-

Kengo: ...he's really depressed.

Yamato: <snivel, snivel, snivel, snivel>......

Fubuki: Alright!

Narration: Set up.

Chihiro: What is it Little Lassie--

Narration: (laugh)

Yamato: ..................Li-li-li-little Lassie??
	 Chihiro-kun...

Chihiro: Little Lassie.  This time, male.

Narration: Chihiro-kun's started raising a puppy.
	 A Shetland sheep dog.
	 "Little Lassie" (laugh)

Author's note: Little Lassie's "little" isn't "child" it's the small meaning of "little".
	 It's not Lassie's child.
	 One word memo.

Yamato: <gasping scream>

Fubuki: <slam>

Chihiro: <howl>

Fubuki: Die!  Chihiro Kobayashi--
	 <run>

Chihiro: <cackle>

Kengo: .........are you ok?

Yamato: Yeah...
	 <heart beats>
Yamato: ...is all this excitement only for a short while longer......?
	 ...<heart beat>...

Yamato thinks: I hadn't even thought of it... One of the 4 of us not being here...

Paper: Test Schedule
	 Monday   Biology  English 1
	 Tuesday

Classmates: We've finished the tests--
	 Hooray.
	 After this there's just the ending ceremony.

Yamato: <blubber, blubber, blubber>
Yamato thinks: My mind was scattered.  I couldn't do anything.

Narration: <- Even if he concentrated he probably couldn't do it.  (laugh)

Principal: Kobayashi-kun.

Yamato: ............Principal-sensei?

~~~~~~~~
<rain>

Yamato thinks: Since last year,

Principal: ......it's too bad, but-
Principal: it's been decided that the classes are going to be decided by grades.
Principal: ...I'm sorry.  The one who'll be separated from everyone else is...
	 You're probably lonely......?

~~~~
Yamato: ......no.
	 No, principal-sensei.
Yamato: It might not seem like it, but I'm used to parting like this ...I'm a bit relieved.
	 <quiet laugh>
	 ...I mean, like this EVERYONE is together!

~~~~~~~~~
Yamato: So I'm glad I'll be the only one changing class.

Principal: ...EVERYONE'S together, but-  that's... ok with you?

Yamato: <smile>
	 Yes.
Yamato thinks: --I'm already..........

Fubuki: Kobayashi-kun, see ya when school starts again--

~~~~
Yamato thinks: happy enough like this.

Principal: .........

Yamato: <running>

Principal: Oh.

Yamato: .....

Narration: Actually, it's behind the principal's office. (laugh)

Principal thinks: .........it's no good.

Yamato: Oh no.

Principal thinks: ......Kobayashi-kun
Principal thinks: knows "how to give up".
	 It's because of his complicated personal history, but
	 --even so, I want him to know that in this world "you also need to not be able to give up".
Principal thinks: ...I'd like him to say 'do something'...
	 something...
Principal: Hm.

~~~~~~~~
Yamato thinks: That's why...
Yamato: I'm full...

Fubuki: Try saying "gimme"?

Yamato thinks: Don't be greedy.

Teacher: Principal-sensei.

Principal: Yes?

Yamato: Thank you jizou-sama--

Teacher: Um...... is it ok?  Even though we've lost the home room teacher...

Principal: Isn't it ok?  This is a wonderful class with plentiful cohesion.
	 There's gotta be something besides ruining that by breaking them up according to grades?

Teachers: Principal-sensei ......actually, we're also in agreement with that.
	 It was hard to bring up.
	 Yeah.

Principal: Oh, my--

~~~~
Teachers: ..........but... ............ what's with THAT AS A HOME ROOM TEACHER?
	 With that things will get even more chaotic...?

Principal: Huh!  You're opposed!?  Won't it be fun!?

Teacher: No, that's not the problem...

<tap, tap>!

Teacher: --yeah!  Thank you
Teacher: Um, as was mentioned before, I'm the new home room teacher for 2-A!

Classmates: ...it appeared...!
	 <wind>
	 The 5th Kobayashi...!!

Principal: See, it's like a royal straight flush!! Right?
	 <giggle, giggle>

Teachers: Yeah...
Teachers think: ...so he did split them up arbitrarily.........

Tsubame: Incidentally, my subject is home ec.

Classmates: What!?

Fubuki: Then at least shave the mustache!!
