My First Love - Age is Just a Number

The narrator is late for class, so he calls on his father, who is also late. He tells the narrator that his father is worried about him, and that leaving school will not help him in his social situation. The narrator says that he doesn't need his father's lecture, because he's too busy to worry about his father. He says that they're off the map, but that he'll be back soon. They're still close to town, and the house isn't finished yet, but the place is nice and quiet. They talk about ichimura, who's still unmarried, and how he'd like to live in a place like this when he gets older. They also talk about Munakata, who seems like she would be free if she came to live with them, but she'd have to work for a living.
