Chizuru: Harada-sensei, this picture…
Harada: Ah, it’s my model pose! I hate to say it but that was kinda embarrassing…Now that I look at it though, it was drawn pretty well.
Chizuru: Yeah, Ibuki-kun is very good at drawing!
Harada: I have to admit that guy has some talent in that area of expertise. Well, if he draws with that sort of passion, I have no doubt that it could win the best prize in a contest!
Chizuru: ……..
Harada: The ability to be able to develop a student’s talent; such a privilege is an honor for a teacher! And of course, I’m sure you also have various talents. I look forward to see what path you’ll go towards as well.
Harada smiles at me. I in return smile back.
When I think of my high school life ahead with this teacher, a future filled with hope comes into to view. As soon as I gather my thoughts and confidence, I quietly close my mobile phone.
