Yeah. I won't talk to you anymore. Yeah.
Yeah. Listen, listen.
Yesterday, Did you listen to what the teacher said properly?
No. I was listening to music. Were you listening to music?
You won't know unless you listen carefully.
The teacher's talk was long, so I couldn't hear anything. I'm sure his voice was a little quiet.
Right. It's hard to hear, isn't it? It's hard
to hear, so I listened to music the whole time.
That's no good. Miyazaki-san.
Toriyama-san, don't you listen to music too?
Don't you listen? No. Listen to what the teacher says properly. This is important.
The teacher's talk? Then maybe I'll listen from tomorrow? You should listen properly. Got it.
Huh, were you listening to what the teacher said?
Oh, I wasn't. Oh, I'm
reading. I'm reading. What book are you reading? Hansel and Gretel. You're reading a good book.
Yeah. Reading this calms my mind. Wow. I want to read that book too.
Yeah. I want to read it.
Then you can read it. Is that okay?
Yeah. Thank you. Give it back to me when you've finished
reading it. I'll give it back to you as soon as I've finished reading it. Not as soon as possible, but
as soon as you've read it. Yeah. I'll give it back to you after
I 've read it properly.
Yeah. I read it. I haven't read it yet. I see. Read the part I'm about to read quickly. I read it. I
read it. Thank you. What are you writing in each of the characters? You're writing kanji.
Oh. You can write kanji.
Writing kanji is difficult, so you're practicing. That's impressive.
I can almost feel it too. Just a little bit, really. Try writing it.
See. You can't write it. Oh, I wrote it, but I can't read it. I
can't read it. Write it properly. You're writing properly.
It's not clear. Maybe you need to practice writing a little more. Right.
Yeah. Write lots every day. That's right. Got it. Try your best to write. I'll try my best to write.
Yeah. I'll buy it, I'll buy it.
Uh, yeah. What's wrong?
You're wondering whether to buy
a new game . That game? Yeah
, I already bought it. What, you bought it already? I bought it today. What, I'm wondering whether to buy it now. It's interesting. It's really
interesting, so you should buy it. No, maybe
you shouldn't buy it. You should
buy it even if you don't have much money. You should buy it.
You should definitely buy it. Well, I'll buy it. Buy it right away. I'll definitely buy it.
I've already bought it, so I'm going home.
Yeah. I'll go buy it then. I'll use it. I'll use it.
I used my new scissors. These scissors
are really useful. They're easy to use.
They seem really easy to use after using them. Wow.
You can let me use them for a bit.
They're easy to use, though. Yeah.
Oh, they might be difficult to use. Which one? They're a little difficult to use, so I'll give them back. Hmm. I use
them easily, though. What do you usually use, Miyazaki-san?
I use a cutter, not scissors.
Oh, you use a cutter. Right.
Have you never used a cutter?
Hmm. I've never used a cutter. It's difficult, so I can't use it.
I can't use it. Yeah.
You should use one. I'll use a bit, so it's fine. I see. Wait.
Matsu. The train isn't coming.
Hmm. I've been waiting for quite a while. I
've been waiting for a long time, but the train hasn't come. How many more minutes do I have to wait?
I can't wait any longer.
Well, let's wait five minutes and then go home.
Only five minutes.
Let's wait just five minutes. I'll try waiting.
Yeah. Wait. Shall I wait?
Hmm. Work. Work. I'm working. I'm not working.
Oh, you're not working?
I'm not working. Why aren't you working?
Oh, because I don't want to work. I don't want to work. I
don't want to work. Do you work, Toriyama-san?
I work outside every day. Oh, aren't you working too much? No, it's normal.
You don't get paid if you don't work.
Yeah. Is that okay? No. I don't want to. Maybe I should work.
Work is important, after all.
Well, I guess I'll start working tomorrow. It's not that easy.
Seriously

What shall we play today? Why don't we skip rope? Jump rope, jump rope, those are
kids' games . Eh, I don't want to play. Yeah. I want to play more adult games.
Adult games? Yeah. Adult games. What kind of games are adult games? Hmm. Camping. Ah, camping. Camping. Then let's go camping
and play. We can do lots of fun, like fishing. Sounds
like we can have fun, right? So let's go camping and play lots. That's right. I think the kids will be happy because they can play lots too.
Yeah. Let's all play together.
Oh. Sleep, sleep. I was sleeping. Oh, sorry. I was sleeping. I was sleepy.
It's too early to go to bed.
Eh, even so, I'm sleepy.
It's only 9 o'clock at night.
Really. If I go to sleep now, I'll be grandpa.
Eh, really?
Yeah. Well, I think I'll stop sleeping.
It's still early to go to bed. What time should I go to bed? Am I sleeping? I was sleeping?

the answer, so
please tell me. I want to teach you, but I don't know either. Oh, you don't understand? I want to teach you. I want
to teach you, but I don't know. Is there anyone who can teach me this
? Oh, my teacher can teach you. Oh, could you teach me, teacher? Yes. I can't teach you. Yes. But I don't like being taught by
teachers. Why? Well, because I don't like
teachers. Even if you don't like being taught, it's better to put up with it and ask to be taught
. That's right. Yes.
Teacher, please tell me this. The teacher said he doesn't know either. Learning.
Doing some extracurricular activities.
Extracurricular activities? Yes.

Maybe walking is better. I walk every morning and
somehow my body feels better. Oh.
