The narrator tells us that he has arranged lessons for two of his students: aoi, a girl, and hidemi, a boy. He's worried that they'll have to learn other languages, since they're not native speakers, and he's also worried that he'll meet other foreign students in the future. The narrator is also worried about Lin, who spends more time studying than he does reading. He doesn't know why Lin suddenly loves studying so much, but he does know that Lin is a "damn kid" who wants to die. He tells the narrator that his hand is going to break if he continues to hit the kid on the bus. The kid tells him to stop the bus, and then he threatens to kill him if he ever sees the kid again. He also threatens to beat the kid up if he sees him twice. He thanks his big brother for saving him, and asks him to give him some ice cream.
