Sanosuke Harada: "...All that's left is New Year's, now that Christmas is over. The students are all off right now, so the school is kinda empty..." [phone rings] "Oh."
Sanosuke Harada: [picking up the phone] "Hello, you've reached the Hakuo Academy staff room. ...Ah, Yamazaki. What's wrong?"
Susumu Yamazaki: "Sorry to bother you in the middle of work, Harada-sensei."
Sanosuke Harada: "It’s nothing. Rather, there are no students here, so I have more free time than I know what to do with. So, why are you calling during your day off? Did something happen?"
Susumu Yamazaki: "Actually, my first choice for college, Ryoujun Medical School, is holding an open campus event tomorrow. I know that some of Hakuo Academy's alumni are attending Ryoujun Medical. I thought it might be good to ask about them."
Sanosuke Harada: "So you're looking into colleges. Seems like you've been thinking seriously about this ever since you started your second year."
Susumu Yamazaki: "Yes. Although it might be hard to get in with my current grades, I intend to improve before the entrance exam."
Sanosuke Harada: "Alright, wait a minute. I'm pretty sure there were some successful applicants among last year's graduating class. I might be able to put you in touch with them. It'd be good to hear their honest opinions directly."
Susumu Yamazaki: "Thank you very much, sir!"
Sanosuke Harada: "...Yamazaki'll be a third year soon, huh?"
Sanosuke Harada: "I still see them as just kids, but I guess these highschool students are thinking about some unexpectedly grown-up stuff."
‘But I can get married.
The law says that women can get married
from the age of 16, right?’
Sanosuke Harada: "...Her, too… Maybe she's more grown up than I give her credit for."
